However, Chu Xuan put him on the roster in the Scarlet Demon Queen, and gave him the title of a nominal second-level secret agent within the Scarlet Demon Queen, which made Xue Kaiyi a little uneasy.

Although the official position of the second-level secret agent of the blood red demon queen is not big, it is definitely not a small minion, and being an official is the dream of these businessmen all along, but what kind of department is the blood red demon queen, Xue Kaiyi is also clear, how deep the water is here, he can't find out at all, but the businessman's idea of profit-seeking still prevails, thinking that it is not a big deal to become a person who becomes a blood red demon queen, maybe he can really wear this tiger skin in the future and make a bigger career.

So after Xue Kaiyi came in, he treated Su Jun and Chu Xuan as a subordinate courtesy. This made Bai Peony very surprised, and then he realized that Xue Kaiyi had already boarded Chu Xuan's ship.

"Tell me about Merlotshire!" Su Jun asked him to sit down and asked softly.

"Yes!" Xue Kaiyi, a wealthy businessman, owes his body and said: "Although the head of Meiluo County is the territory of Changning, the relationship between the King of Changning and the King of An Ning must be clearer than me, and You Junmin is a relative of King An Ning, so it is also related to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, it is precisely because of this relationship that he became the head of Meiluo County, You Junmin himself is not capable, and he is extremely greedy for money, and our merchants in Merlot County have suffered a lot." ”

Su Jun smiled and said, "Tell the point!" ”

"Merlot County is a large salt-producing county, and the salt itself is extremely profitable, but because it is under the joint control of the six countries of Jinxi, in addition to selling official salt, the head of You County also sells private salt, speaking of which, most of the salt we sell is these private salts. The price of this illicit salt is only half that of official salt. ”

Chu Xuan smiled and said: "Old Xue, it seems that you have earned a lot in our Taidang County, and all the money you give us is the official price!" ”

Xue Kaiyi shuddered, not daring to look directly into Chu Xuan's eyes, but Su Jun explained:

"It's not a big deal, Kaiyi must have paid a lot of price to get these private salts, it's understandable to sell them at our price, not to mention that You Junshou sells illegal salt like this, and no one in the six countries of Jinxi will notice it?"

"How could that be? Which of the princes and kings of the six kingdoms of Jinxi is not a human spirit? How could it not be known? However, the profit of You Jun's first sale of illicit salt was high, but he didn't dare to take it all, You Junmin took out the bulk of the profit to honor the relevant bigwigs, and some of the money went into the pockets of the princes, so this matter was naturally suppressed. ”

Su Jun shook his head, it turned out to be like this, I really don't know what the kings with different surnames think, others stole their things, and then stuffed them with a little benefit, and they all ignored it? Aren't the princes of the Six Kingdoms of Jinxi one or two? That's six of them, is it possible that one of them is brain-dead, and the others are also brain-dead? I don't know what I think!

The words of the wealthy businessman Xue Kaiyi interrupted Su Jun's contemplation, only to hear Xue Kaiyi continue:

"Not only that, but the head of You County also uses the Merlot County Sailor to sell salt overseas, which is more profitable, this time Master Su, you want to use the Merlot County Sailor, I thought of this, the Sailor often has a boat to go to sea to sell salt, we can use it."

"Could it be that Changning's sailors have been in chaos to this point? No wonder piracy is rampant and repeatedly banned. ”

"Not necessarily!" Xue Kaiyi shook his head, "It's not bad to have Zhao Daxun, the commander of the water division, but over the years, he has gradually given You Jun the first place to be empty, and there are only a few thousand people available in his hands, and most of the other water masters are You Junmin's henchmen, what can he do is to restrain his own pro-army and not mix with these things." ”

Su Jun nodded, "This is a bit interesting, out of the sludge and not stained, this Zhao Daxun is very remarkable, so let's do it, Xue Kaiyi, can you arrange a chance for me in Dongping Mansion, I want to meet this You County Chief." "Dongping is the county capital of Merlot County.

Xue Kaiyi looked at Su Jun in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Master Su, it's rare that you want to go to Dongping in person?" ”

"Well, go quietly, go back quietly, since the head of You County loves money, I have a way to ask him to send someone to escort the peony fairy to the west."

Meiluo County, Dongping Mansion, although it is adjacent to Taidang County, but there is no trace of war, because it belongs to Changning, although Changning's national strength is not as good as Anning, but it is not too different, the most important thing is that Changning is rich, and Changning's wealth is also one of the best in the six countries of Jinxi.

Different from the fierce martial arts habits of the people of Taidang County, most of the Changning people in Meiluo County have long robes and slow belts, walk calmly, walk calmly, tease birds and dogs, and there are many shops on the street, all kinds of goods are dazzling, and the shop guys are full of smiles, constantly selling the products of the store to the pedestrians on the street. There are also many beauties, thinly dressed, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, holding a fan, or standing in front of the upstairs window, or leaning against the door, charming eyes, autumn waves are messy.

Su Jun shook his head and sighed to himself: "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river!" Xue Kaiyi, who accompanied him, didn't hear what Su Jun was saying, but Bai Peony's eyes lit up and he said in a low voice:

"Master Su, is this your new word? It's really far-reaching! ”

Su Jun smiled lowly and said softly: "It's not a new word, it's just that I felt it." Seeing the scene here, I can't help but think of our Taidang County, the two counties are adjacent to each other, although they belong to different countries, but the contrast is so great, I have to make people feel emotional. ”

This time Xue Kaiyi heard it clearly, and laughed loudly: "Master Su, this is in Dongping Mansion, if you go down and take a look, the scene is very different." Dongping Mansion gathers most of the wealthy merchants and Shishen in Meiluo County, but the county seat below is much worse, especially those grassroots salt dings, life is still even more miserable. They often have no food and no clothing, even if they are refugees. ”

"Oh? Is this really the case? Su Jun raised his eyebrows and said with great interest: "Then this You Junmin of Changning is not afraid that these people will also rebel?" Now the call for rebellion within the entire Dawu Empire is already very high, and there is smoke everywhere, in the final analysis, it's not because many people's stomachs can't be full! ”

Xue Kaiyi said with a smile: "You County Chief is still quite clever in this, although people can't eat, they won't starve to death, as long as the people still have some hope, who is willing to do something desperate?" After all, rebellion is to kill the head and destroy the nine clans? But who wants to do such a thing if they have a little bit of life? If the salt officials in some places are too excessive, the head of You County will also make an example, so that this group of refugees at the bottom will feel more or less comfortable. ”

Listening to Xue Kaiyi's words, Su Jun was also surprised, and said with a smile:

"It's very interesting, it seems that this You Junmin is not stupid, on the contrary, he is quite clever, and he also knows where the bottom line of this group of refugees is!"

"That's natural, it can be said that You Junmin is a very smart person, if he is not smart, how can he sit in the position of the head of Merlot County for so many years, you know, how many people in Changning are worried about his position!"

Xue Kaiyi replied with a smile.
