The world is so big, how many people would do such a thing.

"That's right, my master is too stingy, he never said to give his subordinates a better meal, we people at the moment can only eat some of the residues he fell, but it's a pity that my master is greedy, and he eats cleanly when he comes back, so I can only eat with soup and rice." Ye Qianye tasted it, this cook's skills are good, after her training, these dishes have been burned to the level of the future, seeing that she eats so fragrantly, the cook also tastes it, "Alas, this taste is good." ”

"No, this is my ancestral secret recipe." Night Chiba said proudly.

"It's not good to say your ancestral secret recipe like this, how much will it cost if you take it to a restaurant?"

"Big brother, you are a temperamental person, I am afraid that you will not be able to swallow it privately, okay, I have to go up and inform them to leave." Yachiba wiped her mouth and left the kitchen.

As soon as his feet stepped up the stairs, a person came behind him, nodding his head and bowing his waist, "What are you doing?" It's time for dinner. ”

"Your Highness, the political envoy of Youbu has booked a table in the Teaching Workshop Division, please come over."

"Faculty Division?" These people really know how to pick places, it seems that this culture has continued from ancient times to the present, she replied directly, "Don't go." ”

Is that a place to eat?

She is not interested in women, even if she really gets a few men, she is not interested, she already has Chu Mojue, who else do she need.

Night Chiba had dinner at the post station by herself, and eating a seafood feast for the first time in so long made her feast, and she slept contentedly with a shiny face after eating.

When the political envoy of the right cloth heard such news, his face turned black with anger, and the political envoy of the left cloth went when he was invited, and he also went if he was invited, but he didn't go if he was invited, didn't he look down on him?

If they knew, where would his old face go!

Someone with a big heart has already been lying in bed dreaming, where does he care about the little Jiujiu in his heart.

I slept until dawn all night, and it was already early hours when I woke up.

The sky was bright, but the windows in the inn room were a little smaller, and the room was still a little dark.

When she woke up, the maid immediately waited for her to get up, and she was going to the salt pan to see it today.

It's almost time to sell salt, and the people who get the salt need to go to the salt field to extract salt, and the price of salt is not high, but ordinary people have almost no chance to buy salt, and most of them are bought out by traders, and ordinary people can only buy salt from the second dealers, and the price has doubled.

She didn't know if she should stop this kind of buying and selling, this deep-rooted thinking had been planted in their hearts, and she didn't know if it was right for her to do so.

After breakfast, Night Chiba went to the salt field with the salt class.

The salt works are still dried in the ancient way, and the people who work in the salt works are tanned by the sun, and their skin has a special luster.

Life in the salt works is extremely hard, but few people complain that it is already a hard-won job to outsiders.

As soon as the salt class was raised, the little official guarding the salt field hurriedly came over and saluted, "My lord, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" ”

"What an adult, this is the current prince!"

"Prince?" The little official was shocked and hurriedly knelt down, "The little one asks His Highness for peace." ”

"No courtesy, this prince wants to go in and have a look."

"Your Highness, please come here, just watch it in the house, the wind in this salt field is strong." The salt class carefully carried the night Chiba to the small room near the salt field, and from the small room, you could see the people working on the salt field.

These people sweat a lot in the salt works, but they may not earn a salt or two a month.

"Regarding private salt, I don't know what Master Tong thinks?"

As soon as he came up, Ye Qianye raised such a sharp question, and the salt class lifting was also sweating like rain, and the private salt was repeatedly banned, and some of them were actually inseparable from the salt class lifting division.

Almost the entire beach is occupied by salt farms, and even a drop or two of seawater leaking somewhere is not enough to dry that much sea salt, and the state has clearly stipulated that individuals are not allowed to dry salt, so where does the salt in the hands of smugglers come from?

"Back to Your Highness, this private salt, the minister has been thinking about it, but it is difficult to find their traces, and I don't know where they got so much private salt."

Nanwan has always been a major salt production area, and there are several places in the salt field alone, but what she sees is only the smallest one in the salt field.

Ye Qianye was silent, don't look at the officials promoted by the salt class, but he is shrewd in his heart.

Now all the salt in Nanwan has been stored in the Salt Division, and each salt-producing area is allocated to 200,000 salt sources every year, and each small introduction has 300 catties of salt, which is enough for a family to eat for several years, but a small introduction of salt needs to cost five stone of grain, and for an ordinary person, five stone of grain is already a year's harvest, not to mention that the government will not exchange a small salt introduction alone.

Most of the salt was replaced by salt merchants from other places, and the salt eaten locally was sold by salt merchants from other places.

The Salt Section Lifting Division was on high alert, and every time Night Chiba visited, he didn't see any clues from it, and the salt was locked in the warehouse, heavily guarded, and no one else could approach it.

It stands to reason that there is no such thing as selling salt to anyone in advance.

Night Chiba has been here a few times, but he has been lifted up by the salt class to see him dead, and he can't go anywhere.

The invitation of the political envoy of Youbu was sent to the post station again, and he refused last time, and this time he could not refuse it again in any case.

Fortunately, this time she was only invited to the home of the political envoy of Youbu as a guest, and if it was still the Department of Education, she would definitely not go.

The whole family of the right political envoy was waiting for Ye Qianye to come over at the shadow wall, and as soon as she arrived, she knelt on the ground again, after all, the right political envoy was a second-grade member, and she hurriedly asked them to get up.

Entering the hall, the right envoy saw Ye Qianye's appearance clearly for the first time, and deliberately left his youngest son behind, "Your Highness, have you been shopping around Nanwan recently?" ”

"The people of Nanwan are simple and simple, and it is a good place." Night Chiba nodded.

"Haha, yes, I didn't think His Highness would have such an opinion."

"Recently, the Japanese prince has been looking around everywhere and found that the price of salt in Nanwan is not low."

"The price of salt is about the same everywhere, which is also normal." The right envoy knew the purpose of Ye Chiba's arrival, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"The price of salt released by the government is not high, so why not release a small one separately to sell?"

"Your Highness, you may not know anything in the palace all year round, there are 200,000 salt quotes allocated by Nanwan every year, if they all come to exchange for a small quote, how should these 200,000 salt quotes be exchanged? The salt introduction must be released within the specified time, the salt division can not keep an inventory, and only the salt merchant can do it if all the salt introduction is cleared within a few days, and the ordinary people will not need a small introduction of salt in a year, even if the small introduction is released, they will not come to exchange it. ”

The people's hearts have long preserved such an idea, and it will not change in a short time, even if a small amount of salt is released for people to buy, few people will really come to test the water.

"Have all the 200,000 salt introductions been exchanged by the salt merchants?"

"Nature." The right political envoy secretly scolded the salt class in his heart, and the old girl's feelings were that she had been playing Tai Chi, and she hadn't explained anything, and he actually hit qiang directly.

"But what evidence is there to prove that all the salt is in the hands of the salt merchants?"

"Your Highness, the Secretary of the Political Department and the Department of the Salt Division do not belong to the same department, and the minister does not know, if His Highness wants to know, it is better to ask the Salt Department to promote."

The size of the political envoy is also a second-grade member, and the salt class is only worthy of the fifth-grade promotion, so it can't be said together at all.

"Then the prince will go to the Salt Division!" Night Chiba got up and gestured to leave.

"Your Highness, it's already this time, and it's not too late to go tomorrow after dinner." The right political envoy secretly sent his child to Ye Qianye, "Why don't you let the dog accompany His Highness for a drink?" ”

This child looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his eyes revealed childishness.

Ye Qianye suddenly thought of Wuya and Wuli, I don't know if I can summon them here to come here?

After thinking about it, she raised her glass, "The children of the political envoys are handsome, but they are younger, can they drink?" ”

"Your Highness, I'm fourteen years old, of course I can drink." The political envoy picked up the wine glass, and directly took a sip, his face was not red and his heart was not beating after drinking, and he looked like a drinking veteran.

Ye Qianye doesn't drink alcohol at all on weekdays, a child drinks so crisply, she can't twist it, and she just takes a sip, a mouthful, her stomach is hot, and she drinks another cup of tea to cover up the spicy taste.

"Good wine." This wine is hot and spicy when it enters the stomach, and I don't want to have a sweet and fragrant aftertaste, which permeates between the lips and teeth, and it is indeed a good wine.

The political envoy of Youbu finally smiled, "Your Highness is a person who understands wine. ”

"Don't praise me, I'm not a person who understands alcohol." There are only a handful of drinks she has drunk, and these officials will be the first to pat themselves no matter what she says, and I have to say that everyone likes others to boast about it.

Even if she thought this old man was annoying just now, after he slapped his ass, she was refreshed.

It's no wonder that those in power like other people's sycophants, that's how it feels.

No matter how many ministers she was blocked and scolded in the court, and there were also officials who didn't want to die and hit the wall directly, when did she see the second-grade senior member come to slap her ass.

The right political envoy just took the position of this horse, and the meal was also very enjoyable, and when she returned to the post station, she was already staggering, but fortunately, someone helped her not to fall down.

Wet on the bed, she immediately fell asleep, the next day woke up and her head was about to bao zha, the wine was delicious, I didn't think about the stamina, and it made her have a splitting headache, so that she was not in the mood to continue to ask about the salt class and the lifting division, she just wanted to drink a bowl of sobering soup and then sleep again.

During this time, the maid came in twice, and found that she was still asleep and did not disturb her.

When she was fully awake, it was night again.

Ye Qianye ate dinner silently, while thinking about the issue of private salt, it was actually useless with her own strength, if Chu Mojue was also there, she still had someone to discuss, now they are one Tiannan and the other are north, let alone discussing together, it is difficult to even want to meet.

After dinner, she tied the door of the room and forbade the maid to come in.

She took out the rhinoceros horn, blew it gently, and waited for a long time, but there was no one.

Well, sure enough, this place is too far away from the capital, and the voice can't reach that place, and Wuli and Wuya can't hear her call at all.

After a while, she blew a few more times.

The sound of the rhinoceros horn is very monotonous, it has been just that syllable, and it has been blowing for a long time, but there is still no response.

She still hung something around her neck and lay on the bed, her eyes open but she couldn't sleep.

Pushing open the window and looking out at the scenery, the cool breeze brought a salty and wet smell, and from here you could hear the sound of the waves crashing on the beach.

His thoughts drifted into the distance with the voice, and when he came back to his senses, there was already an old man in the room.

The old man was very short and looked very much like a groundhog, the old man shook his body and looked up at Ye Qianye, "Hey, I heard the sound just now, how did you come here?" ”

After talking to himself, he disappeared in an instant.

Ye Qianye silently took out the rhinoceros horn on his chest and blew it again, and the old man reappeared.

Seeing the rhinoceros horn in her hand, he stood in front of her, "How can you have this?" ”

"Because, I'm the sect leader."

As soon as these words came out, the old man stumbled, "Are you the sect leader?" ”

The Crescent Moon Sect has been established for more than a hundred years, but there has never been a sect leader, and there is one acting sect leader, but Nanwan is too far away from the capital, so he won't go at all.

Ye Chiba nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence.

That's how she became the leader of the Crescent Moon Sect by mistake, although she, the sect leader, has never seen a few fog people so far.

This old man is a new character.

"That's old and unreasonable." The old man saluted, "Old man, I'm the elder steward here in Nanwan, Wuyi." ”

Ye Qianye suddenly thought of a question, "All of you fog people are surnamed fog?" ”

"Naturally, no." Wuyi sat aside, holding a cigarette holder in his mouth, and a thin smoke was billowing from the smoke pot, "Whatever you love is your surname, and those in the management class are all surnamed Wu." ”

"I see, no wonder both Wuya and Wuli are surnamed Wu." The two of them are her left and right protectors, and they are also the management class, and it is normal for them to have the surname Wu, "Are there fog people all over the world?" How many fog people are there? ”

"That's right, there are about 100 fog people in the South Bay." Fog looked at Yachiba, "You don't look like a fog man." ”

"This sect leader is not a fog man in the first place, and he got that token by accident, so he thinks I am the sect leader." It's embarrassing to say, she became the sect leader by mistake, which is a bit unworthy of the name.

"The one who obtains the token will inevitably become the leader of the Crescent Moon Sect, this is the will of the heavens, and it must not be wrong."

"Hahaha." Why did she suddenly feel so tall, she was the chosen one from heaven.

"I wonder what happened to the sect leader summoning his subordinates?" Fog asked.

Ye Qianye then remembered that she still had something to do, but she didn't just find someone to talk to, "Nanwan is flooded with private salt, I don't know where this private salt comes from?" ”

"Those officials colluded together, and the private salt did not come from the salt works in South Bay."

"Is that true?"

"Naturally, it's serious, the old man is a fog person, and naturally he can see it much more clearly than others, but the flooding of illegal salt in Nanwan has been like this since a long time ago, I'm afraid it can't be managed."

"Then there is no way?" Anyway, she was appointed to supervise, and she can't really go back after a circle like a tour, so she has to make some performance.

"Sect Master, you don't understand, the officials of Nanwan protect each other, and if you really want to pull out this cancer, I'm afraid you will offend all the officials here."

To be honest, according to her current situation, she doesn't care about anything, it's the best thing, the political envoy and Yanjiao treat her like this, I'm afraid it's also to make her turn a blind eye, not to mention that before she arrives in Nanwan, I'm afraid she has already learned the news in advance and prepared a countermeasure, and she can't find out why.

The meaning of the fog was already clear, and she just acted as if nothing had happened.

If she took the account book of the Salt Division, she couldn't see the slightest clue, she had no concept of the account itself, and she couldn't see it if others were really cheating.
