Liangshan, Juyi Hall.

It seems that in every den of thieves, no matter how large or small, there is always a room where the leaders gather for deliberations or feasts, which is collectively called the Hall of Justice. For example, the Erlong Mountain where Lu Zhishen falls into the grass, the main hall of the Baozhu Temple on the mountain has become the Juyi Hall of the cottage here.

At this time, the Liangshan Juyi Hall is not large, in fact, it is just three green tile houses that are horizontal, the partition walls are all opened, and the place facing the gate is placed in a few Luo circle chairs according to the number of the leaders of the cottage and the number of seats, and the top and middle is the position of the master of the cottage. As for the surrounding corners, there are some drums, gongs, flags and other sundries, and it is obvious that this place is also used as a warehouse for the sundries of the cottage.

This kind of scene is thousands of miles away from the Liangshan Juyi Hall in Ximenqing's impression, and there is no half-point of heroic momentum.

In order to catch the wind and wash the dust for the Ximen officials, there are enough cases in the hall at this moment, and the drinks and dishes are placed on the table, and they are very rich. It's just that these dishes fall in the eyes of Ximenqing, but they are quite rough, and they are completely different from the fine meals of Chaijiazhuang.

I have to say that the group of people on Liangshan now, only Chao Gai and Lin Chong have a slightly better background, one is a local tyrant in the countryside, and the other is only a figure from a well-off family in Bianliang, Tokyo.

Although Ximenqing from later generations is only from an ordinary family, he can't stand the various cooking methods and all kinds of complicated industrialized condiments in later generations, and his tongue is naturally much pickier than Chao Gai's. In today's Ximen Mansion, the original chef has long been a starter, and Ximen Qing specially invited someone to dig a chef from the best restaurant in Dongping Mansion. Rao is like this, this guy also makes some new dishes from time to time, so that the wives and concubines in the backyard can feast on it, and even the subordinates who stay in the front yard of Ximen Mansion with Shi Qian can also try it from time to time.

That is, Ximen Qing's family has a great cause, and it is his hall of words at home, and no one dares to object to him so much. Although Wu Yueniang felt that it was too luxurious to pay so much attention to eating, Ximenqing had a lot of power in this lady's heart, Ximenqing had slept outside and stayed in the willows, and she was not at home for twenty days a month, she didn't dare to speak, but now she is just paying more attention to eating, and naturally she won't talk much, which makes him unhappy.

Because Ximen Qing is not a figure in the rivers and lakes, and the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, so today Chao Gai did not sit in his position as the owner of the village, and the two sides were separated from each other, and the guests and hosts were seated.

"This time, thanks to the help of the big officials to raise grain and grass, it really solves the urgent need of the cottage, and Chao Gai is grateful!"

is not as thoughtful as Wu Yong, but Chao Gai is much more refreshing, and after the banquet is opened, he poured three bowls violently, which can be regarded as an expression of gratitude.

"The master of Chaozhai is really happy!"

Ximenqing did not hesitate at the moment, picked up the sea bowl in front of him and went down to three bowls in one go, which surprised the leaders of the cottage opposite. I didn't expect that Ximenqing, who didn't have the slightest habit of the rivers and lakes, would have such a large amount.

In fact, the wine of this era, the degree is not as good as the beer of later generations, in later generations, this guy is a famous wine barrel among his classmates, and after coming to this era, he has also practiced the amount of alcohol in the past few months. At that time, Qian and the Ma brothers had eaten and drunk with him on weekdays, so they naturally knew the inside story, and there was no unusual expression on their faces.

Ximen Qing's style is to the appetite of a group of green forest characters, the originally slightly restrained atmosphere, with the three bowls of wine of the bosses of both sides, the stomach immediately became warm, and after a while, the hall was shouting five and drinking six to persuade the sound of drinking, and Ruan Xiaowu, who was good at gambling, actually talked about the gambling scriptures on the wine table with the time change.

Ximen Qing naturally knew the temperament of such a green forest character, and he had long been surprised, and a few of his subordinates were fighting with the leaders on the cottage, but he chatted with Chao Gai Wu and the two of them about some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes.

Everyone laughed like this for about half an hour, and Ximen Qing, who gradually became familiar with each other, mentioned the private salt with Chao Gai Wu with the two of them.

Nowadays, the income of the Great Song Dynasty in salt and tea is more than 8 million a year, which shows how amazing the profits are. What's more, this time it was Chai Jin who took the lead, and the first-hand source directly obtained by Yandi was in the hands of Ximenqing, which was considered second-hand, and this benefit was naturally much thicker than that of ordinary salt dealers.

"Big official, this salt is very profitable, but there are fishermen around my water, even if everyone uses the white salt of Yandi that we are waiting for, this amount is not much!"

Just heard about this transaction, Chao Gai couldn't help but light up his eyes, if the cottage has such a daily input, it will naturally be beneficial to the development of the cottage. But after thinking about it, I found that the market I could control was really smaller, and it was relatively low-end.

"The owner of Chaozhai occupies a huge pool of water, if he is just an ordinary smuggler of salt, wouldn't it be a waste!"

"Great official, but what good ideas do you have?"

Wu on the side naturally had a better brain than Chao Gai, and after hearing Ximenqing's words, his mind vaguely seemed to have caught something, but he couldn't figure out how it was for a while.

Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty is already regarded as a dynasty with the strongest commercial atmosphere among the feudal dynasties in China, but it is far inferior to the situation of all the people in later generations. For such business matters, Wu Yong's talent is even more lacking in knowledge, even if he has a good brain, if no one mentions it, it is absolutely difficult to understand the key points.

Ximen Qing saw that Chao Gai Wu had already moved his mind with the two of them, so he couldn't help but stand up, led the two to the outside of the Juyi Hall, and waved his hand at the vast water pool under the mountain and drew a circle: "These eight hundred miles of water, the water network is dense and horizontal, and with the benefit of that boat, there are more than ten states and counties on the two roads of Jingdong. With such geographical advantages, coupled with the prestige of a group of heroes in Liangshan, and the exploitation of various passes, it is not a matter of course for Yandi white salt to be marketed on Jingdong Road! ”

"But what is the way to sell salt?"

Before Chao Gai turned the corner, Wu Yong on the side laughed a few times, and explained to the owner of his village: "With the ability of the big officials of the West Gate, since they can handle the transaction of 100,000 yuan of gold and silver, it is naturally not a problem for the sales of this white salt!" ”

"The two of us, one line and one sale, complement each other, it only takes one or two years, Jingdong two roads of salt profit, will be all for us!"

"The big officials are so courageous!"

With such a big profit in front of him, Wu Yong's original little caution suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help but lower a few points between responses.
