"You're right, Jiangzhou Caoyun is related to the imperial court's taxes and salt and iron transshipment, and it has always been an extremely critical place."

Li Yuanba continued with Su Dingfang's words, "Since the fall of the former Sui Dynasty to the founding of our Tang Dynasty, there have been a huge number of salt lords in this Jiangzhou land, no matter how the imperial court clears it, but it has always been killed, and it is useless to clear it!" ”

"yes!" Su Dingfang nodded with emotion and said: "Whether it is coarse salt or refined salt, it is the controlled product of our imperial court, in addition to the prescribed salt number, it is that countless salts have flowed into the hands of those salt lords, and it is not uncommon to steal and sell illegal salt." And what about the salt barons? It is even more arrogant than those local ruffians and hooligans, colluding with the government, bribing from top to bottom, private ironware, and doing all kinds of evil......"

Just as he was saying this, Li Yuanba looked at Su Dingfang with some surprise and said, "I said...... Definite prescription! Who do you listen to all this stuff? These words don't seem to come out of your mouth! ”

"This ......" Su Dingfang looked at Li Yuanba embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is all when I was on the boat, listen to Mr. Wang!" ”

"Oh, I said!" Li Yuanba nodded suddenly and said, "Wang Jun's analysis is quite in place!" If it was a troubled time, the behavior of these salt lords would be understandable, after all, they couldn't even afford to eat at that time, so who would care if they couldn't walk on this road? But now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and these salt lords are still the same as they were in the former Sui Dynasty, doing all kinds of evil and arrogant...... This kind of thief behavior really deserves to be killed! ”

At this time, Cheng Chubi, who was left by Li Yuanba, said: "Lord Wang, when I was in Chang'an City, I heard those sons and daughters of Chang'an City say that Jiangzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou are very rich and prosperous, but Jiangzhou is not as good as Suzhou and Hangzhou. It's not as simple as you might think. ”

"Yes, for so many years, the salt lord has been inexhaustible, anyway, the emperor is far away, and Wang Fa can't control them here, plus those who have five surnames and seven hopes. Dirty things are even more uncontrolled. This time, our Shenwuwei came to the land of Jiangzhou, and after exterminating the Lonely Cloud Village of Baima Mountain, we will wait for a while to serve these salt lord thieves! ”

The corners of Li Yuanba's mouth rose upward. Na Senhan's smile was like impermanence from hell.

Cheng Chubi is worthy of being Cheng Biting Jin's son, he grinned and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I originally had this plan, and I want to ask you to let our brothers take action together, and after exterminating the mountain bandits, all the salt lords will be destroyed!" It's just that I don't know how much strength the Jiangzhou salt lords have, so I haven't reported it to the prince yet! ”

Li Yuanba smiled and said, "Okay." Don't talk about what you have and don't! Let's stop the boat near the pier, and we're here anyway. Yang, according to the task assigned to you before, some people stayed on the cargo ship. The other part of the people scattered into this peace on their own. In the county area, find out the news! ”

"No!"

Su Dingfang and the others glanced at each other, and each went to complete their own tasks.

……

Quiet. The pier of Yangyang County has a charming name. It's called Wind Crossing.

This Fenglingdu is not in the Jin Ren Zhao Zizhen's "Title Fenglingdu": "A water north and south, the Central Plains is self-contained." The clouds and mountains are connected to the Jin soil, and the smoke trees enter the wind in the Qinchuan River.

It was late in the evening. The wind is still lively.

To be honest, the management of Fenglingdu is still quite strict, and the distinction between passenger ships and cargo ships is quite clear, with a passenger ship on the left and a much larger cargo ship on the right.

If you look around, the passenger and cargo ships docked on the water within a radius of several miles are full of Fenglingdu.

Some of those cargo ships have been unloaded with half of their cargo, and some are still full of cargo.

Some sturdy men dressed in coarse cloth and heavy furs, as well as officials and servants dressed in heavy furs, roared loudly, directing the ships above the Han River to enter and exit the Fengling Crossing.

What about the edge of the ferry?

Nearly a thousand young and middle-aged people, on such a cold evening, they were still wearing short clothes and short shirts, and even dressed naked, shouting trumpets in their mouths, carrying the goods to the warehouse next to them.

And at the gates of the warehouses on the shore, there were also rich men in big furs, who had wrapped themselves in balls, surrounded by a crowd of men, counting the goods.

Li Yuanba and the others came ashore from the side of Fenglingdu freight, of course, at least a hundred people, including Li Yuanba, walked down from the ship, and they would have glanced at them personally.

No, when they had just reached the door of Fengling Ferry, a team of at least twenty servants came directly and stopped them.

"Alas...... Stop, say what about you, stop and be checked! ”

The twenty officials, all holding long knives in their hands, looked at Li Yuanba and the others one by one, and their voices were full of arrogance.

"Check what? Blind your dogs? Didn't you see that we got off the ship of the Bolingtri clan? ”

Li Yuanba turned away from the appearance of being as plain as water in the past and didn't care at all, and directly lost his temper with anger.

"Without further ado, for now we are safe. Yang County has been put under martial law in the whole city, no matter who your ship belongs to or which family it belongs to, it must be inspected by us, otherwise don't blame us for not keeping face! ”

The official suddenly sneered, and his words were even more tense.

"Oh...... It seems that you want to get along with our Bolingcui clan? Li Yuanba glanced at the official coldly and said, "Even if you are safe. The county magistrate and the assassin of Jiangzhou didn't dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this, are you really a little official who is the number one? ”

"Ho!" The official laughed angrily, "Boling Cui Clan? Isn't it amazing? As soon as I look at you, I know that you are a swinger in the Cui family, relying on the power of your family to make trouble! Let's be honest, this place has been taken over by Second Master Liu, and the entire dock is the place of our Second Master, even Thorn Shi and Wang have to give my Second Master a few thin noodles, Cui's? What a thing! ”

"What the do you mean?" Li Yuanba didn't speak yet, but Cheng Chubi, who was following him, turned pale and said, "Our Cui family's ship is unloading, can't we go into the city to take a look?" Do you have any kings here? ”

"Humph! Wang Fa? The official was so impatient that he shouted, "You five surnames and seven hopes still dare to tell me about the king's law?" It's okay to rebel, don't wait for death at home, and still have a face! Lao Tzu is an official, even if he arrests you, you have no place to reason. On this one-third of an acre, my second master is the king! Get out, take advantage of Lao Tzu's good mood now, hurry up and get Lao Tzu back on the boat! (To be continued......)
