Zhao Lin looked at the long line of people behind him, but there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, and asked: "The quality of this private salt is so poor, why do you still rush to it instead of buying the official salt of the imperial court?"

"Alas, if you can afford to buy official salt, who will buy this private salt......"

An old man who was over the age of sixteen shook his head, "The price of official salt is not at all affordable for ordinary people like us, but we can't afford not to eat salt, so we have to come and buy this private salt." ”

I see!

The price of official salt is too expensive!

Zhao Lin understood the crux of the matter.

"The price of official salt must be lowered!"

If the common people can't even afford to eat salt, what else can they talk about peace and prosperity?

What kind of generation is he still a Ming Jun?

It seems that this trip was not in vain.

Zhao Lin's gaze turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "As far as I know, the Great Song Dynasty explicitly forbade the sale of illicit salt, how dare you openly sell it in this Jingshi City?"

"Hehe, of course it's forbidden on the surface, but don't worry about it so much, we can sell it. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said unconcernedly.

"Oh?"

Zhao Lin's heart moved.

This shop guy was so fearless, it made Zhao Lin seem to think of something.

"Do it knowing that you can't do it, do you have any protective umbrella behind you?"

Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce color.

If it weren't for someone behind him, the other party wouldn't dare to be so blatant.

As soon as he heard Zhao Lin's words, the shopkeeper's face immediately changed, "You kid, you're here to find fault, right?"

As soon as the words fell, four tall thugs walked out of the shop, staring at Zhao Lin with unkind eyes.

They pinched their knuckles to crackle, and looked at Zhao Lin's eyes as if they were looking at a poor worm.

"Boy, if you dare to meddle in your business, you won't leave today. ”

The shop guy grinned and waved his hand, "Get it on me! Hold this kid and don't let him run!"

As soon as the words fell, the four tall thugs rushed towards Zhao Lin!

However, just as they were about to approach Zhao Lin, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Lin as if it were teleporting!

He just kicked the ground with the soles of his feet, and the next moment, an astonishing shockwave swept away!

The four thugs, in the moment when they were swept by the shock wave, the tall body of the man flew out upside down without any suspense!

A mouthful of blood spurts out!

Then like a puddle of mud, he lay on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"What?"

The shop guy was completely stunned.

By the time he reacted, a cold figure had already appeared in front of him, reaching out with his palm and suddenly choking his throat!

With a little effort, this guy can die!

"The dog is so daring that he dares to offend my son-in-law, die!"

Cao Zhengchun wanted to kill this shop guy directly.

But he was stopped by Zhao Lin.

"Give you a chance to live. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes looked at the shop guy very indifferently, "Tell me, who is supporting you behind your back." ”

Now.

The shopkeeper's face was pale, without a trace of blood.

The momentum that Cao Zhengchun burst out just now made him fall into an ice cave.

The shop guy didn't know what kind of existence the Grand Master was.

But he knew he was in big trouble.

In front of Cao Zhengchun, he didn't even dare to move.

As if he had met a god, he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

"Say!"

Cao Zhengchun's eyes were like poisonous snakes, burrowing into the hearts of the shop guys, making the shop guys tremble.

"Yes..."

"I..."

The shop guy was so confused that he couldn't say a word.

"If you say it, you will avoid death. ”

"If not, punish your nine clans. ”

While Zhao Lin said this, his eyes were cold.

Salt is a very important item for the country.

In all dynasties, salt was monopolized.

And not only because it can provide wealth to the country.

It is also because these two are related to the stability of the country.

Selling illicit salt can make huge profits, but it will shake the country of the Great Song Dynasty!

How could Zhao Lin allow these rats to encroach on the national capital of the Great Song Dynasty!

"I said, I said. ”

As soon as he heard the three words of the Nine Clans, the shop guy was almost frightened and fainted.

He's just a shop guy, how did he know that the crime of selling illicit salt was so serious.

"Our store is just a distribution location, and I don't know much about it......

"However, I once heard the shopkeeper mention the name "Jing Zhaoyin" ......"

The shopkeeper said in a trembling voice.

"Kyung Zhao Yin?"

Zhao Lin's pupils shrank slightly.

Jing Zhaoyin is the chief executive in charge of all the affairs of the Jingshi, and he holds great power.

Zhao Lin didn't expect that this Jing Zhaoyin would do this kind of thing.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty!"

Cao Zhengchun's face was ugly, and he hurriedly confessed to Zhao Lin.

There are people who sell illicit salt at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but the East Factory knows nothing.

This is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty on his part as the overseer of the East Factory!

"What, Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The shop guy looked at Zhao Lin, his face was like earth.

The young man in front of him is actually the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?

He actually wanted to beat the emperor just now?

The shop guy couldn't bear the pressure anymore, his eyes turned white, and the whole person fainted.

"Check!"

Zhao Lin's eyes fell on Cao Zhengchun, "In the Jingshi City, all the dens that sell illicit salt, all the merchants and officials involved in it, all find out and find them out!"

In this huge Jingshi City, there must be more than one place to secretly sell illicit salt.

Moreover, it is not only Jing Zhaoyin who is involved.

Behind this, there must be a huge chain of interests.

It is precisely with the support of these behind-the-scenes people that these businessmen dare to take risks......

"The old slave obeys!"

Cao Zhengchun took the order and left.

There was a chill in his eyes.

Dare to do this kind of thing under the nose of the Son of Heaven, these people are tired and crooked!

The first thing to catch now is Jing Zhaoyin!

Jing Zhaoyin, you're in for a big deal!

......

Jing Zhao Yin's Mansion.

After dealing with the day's affairs, Jing Zhaoyin returned to his home.

As soon as he got home, the butler handed him an account book and whispered, "Master, this is the filial piety of the salt merchants last month. ”

When Jing Zhaoyin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

He took the ledger, and as soon as he flipped through it, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face.

The salt merchant, every month, can bring him 200,000 taels of silver.

This is much higher than his monthly salary, I don't know how many times.

Of course, he didn't take these coins by himself.

Rather, it is to be assigned to his "partners".

With such a big business, he can't hold it alone.

After all, selling illicit salt, once it is discovered by the imperial court, it will be a loss of head.

Several senior officials of the DPRK and China participated in it.

They joined forces to cover this matter, and no one would know about it.

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Jing Zhaoyin's mouth set off a trace of arc.

Today, Your Majesty has set the law on the assessment of management extremely strictly, and if you slack off, you may lose your position.

But he was not afraid.

Even if you don't pass the assessment, what if you are deposed?

He's had enough.

The silver in his hand was enough for him to spend several lifetimes.

is enough for him to return to his hometown to live and raise a beautiful wife and concubine......
