Chapter 274: The Situation in Liaocheng

Whenever they went to a place, they would check it out, and found that the farther away from the capital, the situation would be slightly better, but there were already signs of a salt ban.

This kind of situation makes everyone feel very uncomfortable, but there is no way to reach out to solve it.

"There is so much salt in the world, these wealthy families are really vomiting, and they don't want to vomit some of it," Gu Jingxuan slammed his fist on the table, angry by the situation all the way.

Shi Minyao looked at him and said in a deep voice: "This place is quite far from the capital, so we might as well start here and break the situation of the family's monopoly, so that the people can live a good life,"

Salt is the most important thing, if you don't eat it, you won't have the strength, and you will get sick, which is simply forcing the people to rebel!

Gu Jingxuan shook his head and said: "I thought that when we went to Jiangnan, we could act secretly and change slowly, but we came all the way, and the families from all over the country joined forces and made complete preparations to force the emperor to cancel the decision to use official salt, and it was useless for us to make a move here,"

"So what are we going to do?" This is a common concern.

"There are a lot of salts, and the family just relies on the people not to understand, you say, if the people know, and the price is cheap, can the family's conspiracy still work?" Gu Jingxuan looked at them and asked.

Everyone looked at each other and began to think deeply about the question.

Shi Min'an knew that Gu Jingxuan persuaded the emperor to use official salt, in fact, to lay the foundation for the future, lest after Zhao Muyuan ascended the throne, the treasury would be empty, there would be nothing, and he would have to be manipulated by the family.

As long as the private salt disappears, then the court will not be afraid of the threat of the family.

"What you say makes sense, but you have to know that the people dare to offend such a behemoth as the family? I can guarantee that your plan will not succeed, and when the family knows that the people have better salt in their hands, they will probably do whatever it takes to fight for it, and maybe even harm those people! ”

Qi Bai's words made everyone's hearts sink even more.

They're struggling.

Even if the people knew about it, they didn't dare to use it, let alone sell it......

"Then let's go to Jiangnan," Gu Jingxuan sneered and said, "I don't believe it, the sea salt in the entire Jiangnan, those families, can eat it,"

The matter was urgent, and in the last few roads, they began to travel day and night again, only thinking about the situation in Jiangnan, which was not so serious.

On this day, Gu Jingxuan said that it was almost time to reach the boundary of Jiangnan, and everyone could rest for a while, but found that after Shi Min'an came out of the carriage, his face was solemn, so he handed the horse to Songshi and asked her: "What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?" ”

Shi Min'an didn't care about the beautiful scenery in front of him, and said worriedly: "Even Jiangnan is involved, what about Liaocheng?" If it's like this even over there, I'm worried about the situation on my uncle's side."

The salt used by an army of 100,000 is not a trivial matter.

"There should be no problem now, is there a way for you to contact Mu Dong and them?" Gu Jingxuan asked.

Shi Min'an said keenly: "Do you want them to transport Haiyan from Jiangnan to Liaocheng?" ”

"Aren't they going to Liaocheng, then take it by the way,"

"No," she shook her head and refused without thinking, "Their main task is to transport food, even if Liaocheng is not lacking, I have to stock up, so that I can feel at ease." If salt is transported, the heaviness will take up the share of grain, and the cart will be turned upside down! ”

Gu Jingxuan also understands this matter, but they can't hand over the method of making salt, even Mudong.
