Mi Xiu'e directly told this unsuccessful younger brother.

"Don't you know what's going on? You can have today's fame, and you are still swaggering and cheating in the household department, all of which is maintained by your brother-in-law, and if you provoke him, you don't have your good fruit to eat. ”

Although Mi Rucheng couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to offend his brother-in-law, so he offended his sister again, and left immediately.

After this little episode, the matter naturally did not work out, and at this time, Zhu Biao personally came to the household yamen to ask Liang Qingbiao for questioning.

Lord Liang was also unable to speak, so he had to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he would personally go to Changning County as soon as possible.

Zhu Biao told him to hurry up if he wanted to go, the emperor was waiting for a reply, so don't waste too much effort.

After Zhu Biao left, Liang Qingbiao couldn't hold back anymore, since others were unreliable, he had to run by himself.

So, he didn't bring any entourage, he only wore civilian clothes, and then hurried to Changning County.

After coming here, he naturally didn't go to the yamen, and after inquiring about Lu Ning's residence, he went directly to the small courtyard.

At this time, Lu Ning had already finished handling the official affairs of the county government, returned to his home, and when he saw Liang Qingbiao waiting here, he hurriedly asked.

"Brother, isn't it a passing merchant, do you want to have a meal and rest at my place?"

Liang Qingbiao bowed to the ground, and then said very embarrassed.

"You are Lord Lu, I am Liang Qingbiao, the head of the household, I have something to ask you for advice, please don't hesitate to give advice, don't refuse people thousands of miles away."

Lu Ning scratched his head helplessly, looked at Liang Qingbiao and said.

"Lord Liang, just a few days ago, I just sent away the errand officer of your household department, it seems to be called Mi Rucheng, that shelf is very big, is it that the people in your household department are like him."

Liang Qingbiao knew that Lu Ning was asking for guilt, so he had to continue to pretend to be his grandson.

"After that Mi Rucheng went back, the lower official had already taught him a good lesson, and suspended him from his position, and this time I also came to the lord to make amends."

Speaking of which, even if Lu Ning has the face he wants, he can't keep it all the time.

It's a household book, and he has been pretending to be a grandson when he comes to his small courtyard, so he can't stand it, and he will let the imperial historian come to find it awkward.

However, he also wondered what a household scholar could ask for advice from him.

"Lord Liang, aren't you taking me here to make fun, after all, you are the great Si Nong of the imperial court, in front of my small county order, one sentence after another, you are going to discount my life."

Liang Qingbiao was also very helpless, he said directly to Lu Ning.

"I really have something important to ask the lord for advice this time, if you refuse to give advice, then I really have no way to go back and give the emperor an errand."

Lu Ning shook his head helplessly, he didn't know what he could teach this Shangshu master.

"Then you can talk about it, if I can help you, I will naturally know everything, say everything, and I will find a way to help if I can't help."

Speaking of which, Liang Qingbiao was naturally very grateful, so he told Lu Ning about the private salt.

Then, he told Lu Ning that the imperial court had sent him to ask Lu Ning for advice, and he only believed that this lord could solve the problem.

Lu Ning was really a little helpless, which bigwig in the court was bragging for him, why didn't he feel that he had to have this ability?

After thinking about it for a while, he asked Liang Qingbiao.

"Lord Liang, is there a mountain in the imperial court that can produce salt mines, how can official salt be so expensive? Ordinary people can't afford official salt, so they will naturally buy private salt. ”

Liang Qingbiao was ready to answer Lu Ning's question before he came, so he replied directly with confidence.

"There are a few mines, but they are of no use, and the salt produced there is the largest, but it is coarse and bitter, and it is really unusable."

Lu Ning looked at this Lord Liang, thinking about giving him a good guide and earning some extra money for himself.

"Lord Liang, in fact, you don't need to look at it from a distance, there is already a salt mine in our Changzhou Mansion, and the output is very large, but the imperial court has not sent people to mine, do you know where this mine is?"

Liang Qingbiao casually took out a map, and then marked it in one of the places.

The location of this mine is not far from Changning County, and if you drive there by horse-drawn carriage, it will only take less than half an hour to get there.

Lu Ning admires this reliable Shangshu more, after all, he knows everything when he asks and answers.

He began to mention his conditions.

"Lord Liang, I have a request, if the imperial court gives me this mine, I can supply all the official salt of the household department, and ensure the quality, but can you be the master?"

Liang Qingbiao is just a household secretary, of course, there is no way to be the master of the imperial court, so he said to Lu Ning.

"Lord Lu, this mine, the imperial court has actually seen it before, although the output on the mountain is very large, but the salt is very bitter, and there are also a lot of impurities, there is no way to use it at all."

After listening to Liang Qingbiao's words, Lu Ning told him unhurriedly.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you are willing to agree to transform, if you agree, I will do it for you."

Liang Qingbiao naturally can't call the shots, but he can ask the imperial court, and Lu Ning sent 800 li to rush into Beijing in the county to ask for instructions.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court acted very quickly this time, and the approval arrived after only one day, and agreed to Lu Ning's request.
