Sun Zhang twisted the sand in his hand, which was as white as the snow in February in winter.

He dismantled several sacks one after another, and the white things inside slanted down the mouth of the sack to the ground.

The frost is like snow, which is very eye-catching.

"Young Master, this is the new white salt that has arrived in the warehouse today." The big shopkeeper held the booklet in his hand and said while checking it: "A total of 100,000 catties." ”

Sun Zhang put his salt-stained fingers into his mouth and licked them lightly with his tongue, and the salty and astringent taste of salt spread in his mouth.

This batch of salt is neither more nor less, Sun Zhang walked around the huge salt warehouse with his hands behind his back, and he asked as he walked: "How is my father's business in Lianghuai?" ”

"The people over there didn't mention much of Lianghuai's business." The big shopkeeper replied truthfully: "But I heard that they said that the master wants to do silk business with Shen Weixing, a merchant from Yangzhou." ”

Sun Zhang kicked the salt bag with his toes, and he said: "Before he can stand in Lianghuai, he wants to run, and he is not afraid of falling to death." ”

In addition to Changlu, Hedong, and Sichuan, the main producing areas of Daming salt are left with two Huai, and the first three places have been controlled by some powerful salt merchants, and the Sun family wants to expand their own business, so they can only run to Lianghuai.

Jiangnan has always been rich, Hui businessmen, Zhejiang businessmen gathered, to establish a foothold in Lianghuai is not an easy task.

There are a total of 21 salt divisions along the Huainan coast of the salt-producing region, and there are about 10,000 salt households under the jurisdiction below, with an annual output of 10 million per year!

What's more, a Grand Canal leads directly to the north and south, if you can negotiate the business here, what kind of monstrous wealth it will be!

"A group of Francois people came to the Guangzhou port a year ago, and they just arrived in Yangzhou a month ago." The big shopkeeper told the news he had heard: "I heard that these Franco merchants want to order a large amount of silk and porcelain, and the master means that he wants to share this cup of soup with Boss Shen." ”

"The Shen family?" Sun Zhang pinched up a pinch of white salt, he rubbed it in his hand, and then blew lightly, and the snow-white salt grains fell to the ground in a stagger.

It's really 'salt in the air'.

The Shen family is a Zhejiang businessman, the silk trade in the south of the Yangtze River is almost completely monopolized by them, the Shen family has a large number of looms, exquisite weavers, two shifts a day, weaving workshops for twelve hours without stopping.

Every day, a large amount of silver was woven into Shen Weixing's pockets from the hands of these weavers.

"What the master means is that the Shen family does business with the palace, and if we can get in touch with their family, we can have a foothold in Lianghuai." The more the shopkeeper talks, the less confident he is.

If they could gain such a good foothold, Zhang Liuren's family would have already taken all the salt of Lianghuai, and could they wait until their Sun family came to get a piece of the pie?

"Let him go." Sun Zhang clapped his hands, and he turned his back and took the booklet in the hands of the big shopkeeper to take a closer look.

"Big brother!" Sun Pu's shouts came from outside the salt warehouse, and the guards guarding the salt warehouse stopped Sun Pu from letting him in.

"I'm the second young master of the Sun family!" Sun Pu pointed at himself and shouted: "This is my family's salt warehouse, why don't you let me in!" ”

"Second young master, the salt warehouse is a heavy land, and the eldest young master has instructed that no one can enter without a brand." The guards guarding the salt warehouse gave Sun Pu a fight: "The second young master has offended." ”

Sun Pu kicked his legs, trying to break free from the hands of these powerful men.

"Stop!" The big shopkeeper hurried out of the salt warehouse, and he asked the two guards to release Sun Pu.

Sun Pu immediately snorted triumphantly: "I'll tell the eldest brother later, I will make a few of you look good." ”

The big shopkeeper frowned, and he said, "Second young master, the eldest young master is waiting for you inside, please come in." ”

The salt warehouse was full of newly arrived salt, and Sun Zhang was standing in front of the salt pile, looking up at the top of the salt warehouse with his back hand.

"Big brother?" Sun Pu let out a cautious call, he controlled his voice very little, but it still seemed abrupt in the huge salt warehouse.

Sun Zhang didn't turn around, he said: "If the money is not enough, go directly to the shop to pay it." ”

He didn't come to ask for money!

Sun Pu pinched his face in an attempt to make himself look more pleasing: "The money is enough, I came to invite.... I would like to ...... please."

"What do you want to please?" Sun Zhang's tone was slightly dark.

"This..."Sun Pu really couldn't speak, he really couldn't open his mouth to his eldest brother about what Zhang Wengui asked him to say!

So Sun Pu smiled: "I want to invite the eldest brother to come out and get together." ”

Let Zhang Wengui say this matter himself, he really didn't dare to tell his brother.

Sun Zhang looked at his younger brother a little strangely, Sun Pu usually wants to avoid him, how could he ask him to get together today?

"Then it's decided, if the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, and we'll see you at Jixian Restaurant tonight!" Sun Pu was afraid that his eldest brother would not agree, so he ran away immediately after speaking, leaving Sun Zhang with no chance to say no at all.

On the other hand, the fans of Dongchang decided to cut through the mess quickly, and arrested Zhang Wengui tonight, and people will take it first and then look for incriminating evidence.

As for the specific actions, Fila has its own arrangements.

"Boss, why do you think the eldest prince is so bad? Ma Wenrui is his cousin, how can he say that he will be killed? He Qiaoyi couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that the royal family is the most ruthless, and I only saw it today." ”

She can't comment on whether the eldest prince is bad or not, but Ma Wenrui's case must be someone who doesn't want the eldest prince to have a better time, but if the eldest prince wants to sit in that position, he shouldn't kill Ma Wenrui, once he makes a move, he will be convicted of Ma Wenrui's crime, and he himself will be pushed to the front.

"I won't say much about it in the future." Jiang Banxia glanced at He Qiaoyi: "Let's go." ”

The sun is scorching in May, and the street vendors have begun to sell large bowls of tea.

Three or four fastcatchers with flat-topped scarves and soap tray collars were squatting on the ground eating a mouthful of tea and steamed buns, and when they saw Jiang Banxia and them coming out, these catchers hurriedly stuffed the steamed buns in their hands into their mouths.

"Wait, two adults!" The catchers picked up the tea bowls in their hands and chased after them.

He Qiao leaned on the knife and asked, "You have been waiting for us here?" ”

"The little ones have been waiting for a while." The catcher who took the lead smiled: "But the wait is not long." ”

"What's the matter?" Jiang Banxia asked.

"We've caught a couple of suspicious thieves." The leader quickly rubbed his hands: "Lord Gao, let's ask a few adults to get ideas." ”

This time, the efficiency of the yamen was so fast, Jiang Banxia was slightly surprised, she raised her eyebrows and said, "How many have you caught?" ”

"Three."

He Qiao leaned and said, "Then what are you waiting for!" Hurry up and take us to the county office! ”

Those few fast dog leg catchers led the way in front, and by the time Jiang Banxia and them arrived, Yang Yiqing had already interrogated the prisoner with Gao Jin.

In the dimly lit interrogation room, the man in shackles was kneeling on the ground, with a few blood marks on his body, as if he had just finished his execution.

"Lord Gao, Lord Yang." Jiang Banxia bowed slightly.

"Jiang Xiaoqi's method is really high." Gao Jin swept away the gloom for days, and he said with a smile: "It only took less than two days to catch these thieves." ”
