Chapter 183: The Situation in Yancheng

Su Jinyu, who returned to the town, was welcomed by many people.

After all, in the town before, in addition to helping Yang's shopkeeper's cloth village, she also helped other cloth villages.

In addition to cloth villages, there are other businesses.

Almost every day, she doesn't need to cook by herself, the shopkeeper at noon pleases, the shopkeeper for dinner, she refused, but everyone was too enthusiastic, and she didn't refuse everyone's kindness.

After staying in the town for more than half a month, and doing all the things that should be done, Su Jinyu bought things and prepared to return to the village where she grew up with Jinxuan.

As for where she will live when she returns, she can choose to live in the town or in the village.

Even if she wasn't there for a long time, someone would clean up the place where she used to live for her, just like the town here, and she was sure of that.

Waving to everyone who saw them off, Su Jinyu took Jinxuan and Lu Zhewu on the way home.

At this time, Yan Yu and Lu Zhewen had already arrived in Yancheng.

As they expected, the situation in Yancheng is indeed very complicated.

Compared with many cities, the environment here is not very good, although salt is produced, but the DPRK has control over salt.

Not to mention that most of the salt mountains here produce salt that is inedible.

The locals all know that in addition to supplying the imperial court and border gates, most of the edible salt is mixed with a small amount of inedible salt.

Doing so may lead to the people who eat salt to be sick, but there is no way, the price of salt is there, the price of unmixed is too high, and the blended can at least be reluctantly accepted.

I couldn't stop eating it completely, so I had to endure the pain, buy salt mixed with the problem, and go home to cook.

Some of the newly discovered salt mountains under the Six Princes were purified and edible, but most of them were not.

Only the six princes and his subordinates knew about this matter, and the others who came to inquire about the news were all solved by his subordinates.

Therefore, until now, this matter has not been known to outsiders, including Yan Yu and Lu Zhewen.

They came here for other tasks besides investigating the newly discovered salt mountain under the Six Princes.

Owning the salt mountain is equivalent to guarding a mountain of gold or silver, at least in the use of silver, the six princes are much more comfortable than Pei Yi.

But the money he uses is based on the pain of others, he knows it in his heart, but he only thinks he doesn't know it.

"We've been in Yancheng for a few days, but we can't find anything, it's really ......"

Pacing back and forth in the courtyard, Lu Zhewen's mood was not very good.

In contrast, Yan Yu was usually less patient than him, but after coming to Yancheng, it was obvious that he could hold it better than him.

"Think about it, there was no news before, although we didn't gain anything, but our lives are still there, this matter can't be rushed."

This time the matter was still very critical, so Yan Yu's words were more and more.

"Speaking of which, it's not for nothing, isn't it from the mouths of the locals that I know the little secret of Yancheng?"

The so-called little secret refers to the fact that non-toxic salt is mixed with poisonous salt and sent to various places.

"This kind of thing ......" Lu Zhewen frowned, fortunately, the salt eaten by the soldiers at the border pass is non-toxic, otherwise how can it be good to start a war?

But how innocent the people were, this was a calamity.

"It would be nice if all the salt produced by Salt Mountain was non-toxic." Whispering softly, Lu Zhewen thought that this was impossible, but people always had some hope in their hearts.

"Maybe one day, that's going to happen, you say...... Will the subordinates of the Six Princes do the same? ”

Most of the merchants here are like this, and the subordinates of the six princes must have known the secrets of Yancheng when they came here.

"Then it depends on their salt mountain, whether it is poisonous or not." After thinking about it, Lu Zhewen responded, he hoped in his heart that it was not poisonous, and he couldn't accept that the six princes would abuse the lives of the people like this.

"Presumably...... It's non-toxic, right? Otherwise, large quantities of salt will be shipped out and sent to all places...... I don't think I've seen anything done about it. ”

"If it is poisonous, he has to buy non-toxic salt in large quantities, and then monopolize the other salt mountain businesses here, so as to ensure that the salt he transports can be sold to those salt merchants, which is not an easy task."

It is said that the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, even if it is the prince, even if it is the prince's subordinates, when it comes to other people's territory, they can't say what it is.

Others also need to live for profit.

Therefore, it is very likely that the salt mountain discovered by the six princes is non-toxic.

He didn't offend those land snakes, he only guarded his salt mountain, and he could still keep it.

With Salt Mountain, silver is equivalent to picking up for nothing, no matter what price he gives, it is a sure profit.

"I hope so." Yan Yu took the words, he heard what Lu Zhewen said just now, but he didn't express his opinion.

In his opinion, everything is possible, and if you want that position, sometimes your heart has to be black.

When you become above those ten thousand people, those black things can gradually be hidden.

"Is there a letter from my sister-in-law lately?" After talking about heavy things for a while, Lu Zhewen changed the topic and asked about something else.

Family members are warm beings to them, and when they are in an extremely bad mood, it is natural to think of these warm existences.

"Nope." Shaking his head, Yancheng is not as good as the capital, it is better to send fewer letters, in case it falls into the hands of others, the consequences are unimaginable.

He was also worried about his family, but he had no choice but to endure.

Seeing him shake his head, Lu Zhewen sighed slightly, he was thinking about Lu Zhewu's current situation.

Su Jinyu and the others, who were worried about them, were returning to the villages and towns where they grew up at this time.

It's not a rush along the way, so it's not too fast.

Su Jinyu found that compared with when she left, many places have changed, and she has to sigh that many things are developing all the time.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Jin Xuan and Lu Zhewu were both sitting in a carriage with Su Jinyu, and when they saw her in a daze, they asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that time becomes fast in the blink of an eye." It's true, counting, it's been several years since she first came here.

Jin Xuan has also become a half-grown child since he was a child, and he will get bigger and bigger in the future.

Now, I've grown a lot taller.

"It's really fast." Thinking about it carefully, Jin Xuan nodded, "Sister, after this year, I want to try it out." ”

In fact, there are not much restrictions on the grade of the reader exam, but anyone who thinks they are okay can try.

"Yes, if you feel a little sure, it's okay to try it, even if you're not sure, it's okay, it's good to feel it and see what it looks like."

Su Jinyu smiled and nodded, but did not stop, "Zhewu, what about you?" Do you want to try it together? ”

The two friends are studying together, and the progress is about the same, since Jin Xuan wants to go, Lu Zhewu naturally wants to do the same.

Hearing Su Jinyu ask, he hurriedly nodded in response, "Sister, I've discussed it with Jinxuan, and we'll go together." ”
