Gao Meng stood in place, looked at Chu Xuan who was far away, and then looked at the closed door, "This, this is the one who made trouble?" ”

Xue Kaiyi is now the most idle of the officials of Tai Dang and Merlot County, and the interior of the Dawu Empire, driven by several powerful forces, has carried out a strong blow to the private salt trade in Merlot County, and almost swept away the private salt sales network, trying to cut off Su Jun's biggest financial source, but Su Jun immediately made a strong counterattack unreasonably, not only stopped the illegal salt, but even stopped the official salt from being sold to the outside world.

Meiluo County is the three major salt producing areas of the Dawu Empire, and the impact on the price of salt can be imagined, and Su Jun's move immediately led to the soaring price of salt in the interior of the Dawu Empire.

Although the daily consumption of salt is not large, but it is an indispensable daily necessities for every family, affecting thousands of households, Merlot County's move immediately set off a rush to buy salt in the Dawu Empire, the tide of tunji, the price of salt rose to an incredible price in a short period of time, this is because some big salt merchants more or less know the inside story, this war without tobacco sales will not know when it will end, is to collect salt on a large scale, reduce or stop selling to the outside world, in order to look forward to a higher price of salt, so as to make huge profits.

The initiator led by Su Xing, what he never expected was that Su Jun's counterattack was so arrogant, Su Jun's financial route was indeed broken, but the price of salt in his territory was also high in sesame blossoms, and some places even began to have no salt to sell, and the people were complaining for a while. Su Jun couldn't hear these complaints, and the first people who had to face these grievances were the heads of the major forces.

Emperor Zhenchong's holy decree ordering Meiluo County to immediately restore the supply of salt was thrown into the corner by Su Jun with a sneer, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, as for how to perfunctory Emperor Zhenchong, Su Jun has a lot of reasons, the typhoon is coming, the tsunami is coming, the pirates are coming, etc., you can find out as much as you want, anyway, Merlot County is now without salt.

In this context, Xue Kaiyi, the largest smuggler of salt in Taidang and Meiluo counties, has become the most leisurely person, and in less than a month, he has gained a lot of weight. Today, he was suddenly summoned to the county capital by Su Jun, but he was very excited, and it seemed that he had something to do again.

"See the county head" Although the place of the summons is in the inner hall, Su Jun is also dressed in plain clothes, but Xue Kaiyi is still respectful and respectful, compared with the first time he saw Su Jun, the current Su Jun is becoming more and more authoritative, and the power of Tai Dang County is also getting bigger and bigger, Xue Kaiyi can imagine that after the barbarian clan is destroyed, Tai Dang and Merlot will form a huge military interest group around Su County Chief.

And himself, fortunately, will also be one of them, although it is still relatively outer, but Xue Kaiyi is already very satisfied, now he is not the same as a few years ago, as long as he gets on this boat, then he will have the opportunity to climb higher.

"No need to be polite, get up, Lord Xue." Su Jun smiled and helped him, in the past two years, under the care of Xue Kaiyi, the salt affairs have been in good order, and a lot of money has been provided for Taidang County. Xue Kaiyi has also proved his ability, and Su Jun has decided to make him take on greater responsibility.

"Lord Xue has been running around for Taidang County in the past few years, and it has been really hard." Su Jun said with a smile.

"The county head is serious, it is an honor to serve the Taidang County and the county head." Xue Kaiyi owes his body and is humble.

"What do you think about us cutting off the sale of salt altogether?" Su Jun asked.

Xue Kaiyi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Su Jun carefully, and suddenly moved in his heart, "My lord, this force is trying in vain to sabotage the county head's peaceful plan and want to defeat us economically. ”

Su Jun smiled, "Well, you seem to have something to say?" ”

Xue Kaiyi said: "Lord County, now the price of salt in the mainland has risen to an incredible level, and the official salt in many places is struggling to support, in fact, this is also an opportunity to make money, we can quietly get a batch of salt through some channels and sell it to those local officials who are in a hurry, so that these local officials can fight with salt merchants." At a certain time, if the county lord deems it necessary, we can deal a heavy blow to these local officials and salt merchants by announcing the resumption of official salt sales. ”

"Well, I'll talk about this later, I summoned you today to tell you that from today on, you will be the salt chief of Merlot County, and you will be responsible for the production, storage, and sale of salt.

Xue Kaiyi stood up suddenly, his heart pounded, he was only responsible for the private salt in the past, to put it mildly, it was a shady private salt dealer under Su Jun, who was just collecting money for Su Jun, but what Su Jun is talking about now is that the salt manager of the entire Merlot County has completely handed over the salt affairs of the entire Merlot County to him, salt is the pillar of Merlot County, and mastering this department by himself is almost equivalent to entering the ruling core of Merlot County, and of course, it is also equivalent to entering the inner circle of Su Jun's interest group.

"Are you willing to take on this responsibility?" Su Jun said with a smile.

"The county head is so trusted, how can Kaiyi not do his best and die." Xue Kaiyi said excitedly.

"Hmm" Su Jun nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Our salt blockade in the interior of the Dawu Empire will continue for a few months, and during this period of time, you are just integrating the salt department, striving to establish a lean and efficient salt administration in the shortest possible time, and when we re-sell to the outside world, all illegal salt will be banned for me."

"Of course, you might as well give the things you mentioned earlier a try in the next few months. Remember, we either don't do it, or we have to do it hard. Su Jun said.

"Yes, Lord County, after Kaiyi goes down, he will start to do it immediately."

When Gao Meng came in, the two were discussing how to make the salt industry of Meiluo County be able to hold the salt industry of the Dawu Empire in a short period of time.

Xue Kaiyi immediately stood up and said: "Being able to listen to the teachings of the county head today is really better than Kaiyi reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, what to do next, Kaiyi already has some eyebrows, so he will not delay the time of the county head, and he will resign from his humble position." ”

Su Jun smiled and said: "Lord Xue is very capable, I am very relieved, the matter of salt affairs, I have to please, you go down and then go to Lord Zou Hong." ”。

"Yes" Xue Kaiyi bowed, suddenly remembered one more thing, reached out and took out a small box from his arms, and said with a smile:

"The county head is about to get married, a few days ago, Kaiyi got something outside, quite appropriate, today I was summoned by the county head, and I thought of dedicating it to the county head, but I almost forgot."
