Chapter 405: The Lejia Compound in Tianping Village

After listening to Xiao Yu's introduction, Xiao Yue can be regarded as having a general understanding of the Huang family.

The big boss of the Huang family is Huang Tianyi, who is at least sixty years old, although he is old, he basically plays the same role in the Huang family.

This man only had children in middle age, and he gave birth to two sons one after another.

The eldest son's name is Huang Wenshan, and the younger son is Huang Wenbai, whom they just met.

The Huang family's industry is nothing more than salt wells, and they mainly make profits by mining and making salt, and selling the finished salt.

Huang Tianyi is now old, and he divided the Huang family's property into two as early as ten years ago and handed it over to his two sons to take care of.

The eldest son is in charge of salt wells and salt mining, and the second son is in charge of salt production and sales.

When she learned about these circumstances, Xiao Yue felt that if the Huang family's salt well was purchased by the imperial court, then the Huang family's property would be redivided.

"What is the local reputation of the people of the Huang family?"

Xing Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "Listening to that person, it seems to be pretty good." After the Huang family made money, they built roads and bridges in the local area. ”

"Well, that sounds pretty good. Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "The people who gathered in the mansion of the state capital today should be instructed by the Huang family." ”

"Isn't that obvious," Xing Xiaoyu sighed, "But you still think that the people of the Huang family are very good... ”

"It's two different things. Xiao Yue continued, "The Huang family can't do this without a purpose. ”

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they definitely don't want the imperial court to buy their salt wells. ”

"Well, but what would you do if you were the big boss of the Huang family?" Xiao Yue suddenly changed her words.

"Me?" Xing Xiaoyu was silent for a while, and then said: "As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, and I can only ask the court to give me more silver at most." ”

"But if the imperial court can give you another cornucopia, just a little smaller than the previous one, are you willing to accept it?"

"Cornucopia?" Xing Xiaoyu asked curiously, "They say that Yanjing is a cornucopia, are there any other cornucopias?"

"Of course," Satsuki said with a smile, "After I came here this time, I realized that the salt industry here is huge, and it is really a bit unexpected that it can support so many people." ”

"Well, I heard that the Huang family owns three times as many salt wells as the Li family, so there are more people in the salt shop. ”

"No wonder," Xiao Yue sighed, "This is also the reason why the Huang family has always had an ambiguous attitude." ”

"Young Master Wen, what exactly is the cornucopia you just said?"

"The imperial court took away the salt well, but the salt mining and salt making were all done by the people who invited the salt company, so it had nothing to do with the Huang family. However, the sale of salt is a very important piece. ”

"Selling salt?"

"Well, if the imperial court takes care of everything, there will be a lot of problems. Therefore, I suggested that the lord could divide the sale of salt. ”

"You mean to say that selling salt is actually a cornucopia?"

"Of course. Satsuki said with a smile.

"I don't understand that. Xing Xiaoyu also smiled, "If you chat, this journey feels shorter." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's almost time to reach Tianping Village. ”

Satsuki looked outside, and she found that the road had narrowed, and farmhouses began to appear along the way.

"Well, Xiao Yu is very powerful, and he hasn't taken the wrong path. ”

Xing Xiaoyu was immediately unhappy when he heard this, "Are you praising me or belittling me?" If I don't have any ability, then I won't have the face to stay by my lord's side to serve." ”

The two of them were arguing, and soon arrived at the entrance of Tianping Village.

At this time, Xing Xiaoyu suddenly fell silent.

Satsuki felt strange, and then asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Xing Xiaoyu said in a low voice: "There are already people paying attention to us on the side of the road, so I'll find a convenient place to feed the horses and stop." ”

"It's okay," Satsuki dispelled his thoughts, "If you meet a passer-by, just ask where the Le family's mansion is." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a farmer next to the carriage asking, "Little brother, where did you come from?

In the countryside, the people in the township basically know each other. So, when they see strangers entering the village, they are either curious or wary.

People along the way were watching them.

Xing Xiaoyu said according to Xiaoyue's instructions: "Folks, let's go to the Lejia compound, how do we go?"

"Oh, out of the end of the village, go to the right, see a wide road paved with stones, and at the end of the road is the Lejia compound. ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

After asking for directions, Xing Xiaoyu was silent and silently drove the carriage.

When he was about to arrive at the Lejia compound, he told Xiaoyue in advance, "Childe, the place you are going to has arrived, do you need me to go in with you?"

Xiao Yue thought for a moment, and then said, "Forget it, you still stay outside." ”

"Are you sure there is no danger?" Xing Xiaoyu didn't know the details of the Lejia compound.

Xiao Yue had no choice but to explain to him: "This is the compound of Lejia Silver Village in Pingjing Prefecture, you should know." ”

"Oh, Lejia Yinzhuang?" Xing Xiaoyu suddenly reacted.

"Hmm. ”

After saying this, Xing Xiaoyu stopped the carriage.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue jumped out of the car and ordered, "You find a place to feed the horses and wait for me." ”

Xing Xiaoyu smiled, and then asked in a low voice, "When you were talking about gold and silver jewelry in the morning, were you playing the idea of a musician?"

Xiao Yue smiled noncommittally and walked straight to the gate of the Lejia compound.

The Lejia compound looks quaint and thick, not like a newly renovated house.

The high exterior walls are stacked with thick stones, and the thick carved yellow wood doors give a real feeling, and two stone beasts are placed on either side of the gate.

Satsuki knocked on the door, then took the letter in her hand.

After a while, a young man with clear eyebrows opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

Xiao Yue asked politely, "Is there the master of Leda?"

"Huh... The little guy asked with some surprise, "How do you know that my master is here?"

Xiao Yue smiled and didn't answer, she handed the letter in her hand to Xiao Wei, "Please give this letter to your master, just say that Hu Ji's Meng account room asks to see you." ”

"Hu Ji?" When the little guy heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Okay, please wait here for a while, and I'll report it." With that, he turned and trotted away deeper into the house.

Maybe this little guy was in a hurry, maybe because he was surprised, and he didn't close the door when he left.

Satsuki unconsciously looked inside.

She saw that directly opposite the gate was a high wall carved with strange patterns, blocking the scenery in the courtyard.

After a while, the little guy trotted back to the gate, and said breathlessly: "Childe, my master has an invitation, please come with me." ”
