Zhang Huan's amount of alcohol is actually quite good, but it's a pity that this is the first time he has encountered soju in his life. As a result, more than a dozen cups went down and went under the table.

A few relatives carried back the embarrassing little ya, explained to Commander Zhang and was scolded again, and finally Commander Zhang left the calm personality of the entourage and asked, "Can you see clearly?" Is it indeed the waist card of the Palace's Marshal's Mansion?"

The person said softly: "It's true, and that young man also told Xiao Langjun that he is just a person who runs a shop and a grange for Gao Yu, and he is not involved in other things, and ...... Although he is sleek, he really doesn't have the taste of an old official! ”

Commander Zhang shook his head: "It's hard to say that there are no other subordinates of Gao Yu behind him, there is nothing wrong with this rebel, right?"

"No, Xiao Langjun has a bold personality, and the conversation with Song Yuhou is very speculative."

"That's good, tomorrow you will send a letter of silver in the name of this rebel, and say that if there is anything in the palace marshal's mansion, just come to find him!"

"Little one got it!"

On the second day, Song Wen looked at a gift box on the table with a smile...... I have been in the Great Song Dynasty for two years, and I have let others have a lot of money to give others a lot of silver.

This is the first time that someone has given him money as a bribe...... Although the relatives said that this was Zhang Huanyan's meaning, but Song Wenming Bai, this must be the meaning of Zhang Dongcheng, who couldn't pull his face to see himself.

This time, Song Wen went straight to the point and directly told the entourage who came alone that there was indeed no inspector behind him, and the only purpose of coming here was to find a trade route...... The way to get rich.

Song Wen didn't say the rest.

That personal acquaintance knows that this is because his level is not enough...... But he still invited Song Wenming to the banquet, saying that his little Langjun was familiar with Song Yuhou at first sight, and he wanted to invite Song Wen to have a good taste of fresh seafood at the Denghai Tower in the north of Dengzhou.

Song Wen happily agreed.

After the guests left, An Chun held back a smile and ......, "Brother, no wonder everyone in this world wants to be an official, the bigger the better...... This palace marshal's mansion can make a foreign commander pay bribes secretly, what a face! ”

Song Wen pursed his lips: "Lao Tzu is not rare...... Isn't it the easiest thing to make money? Walk...... Let's go around town and see if there's anything fun. Let Daruchi feed the horses at home......"

"Okay......"

The area of Dengzhou Capital City is not small, but most of the houses inside are a little dilapidated. There are also a lot of people coming and going in the market, and most of the richly dressed people ride cars or horses, and it seems that the number of horses is more than that of Qingzhou City.

Although the current Bohai people were forcibly exterminated by the Khitans and forcibly relocated most of the tribes to other places, there are still some people who are active near the Goryeo Peninsula and trade back and forth...... But there is also the possibility that when these people will be transformed into swords, they will be able to loot and loot with swords.

There are always people who take risks to get to and from the coastline, and Song Wen saw some Goryeo people trading in the markets of Dengju.

There are also some Bohai people who wear the style of fishing and hunting, but these people are more brutal, and they trade horses and medicinal herbs.

Song Wen sat on a wonton stall and ate wontons with An Chun, and then Song Wen took the bowl and asked the boss, "Uncle, are these aliens from the sea?"

"Back officer, almost! There are also some who have already changed the clothes and costumes of our Han people, and they can't tell the difference! ”

"Does the government care? How did they get in? The Dengzhou Navy will let them come and go at will?"

The old man sighed: "If you drive all these people away, the life of Dengzhou Mansion will be even more sad!" Our place is very poor, short of money and food, and lacks everything except salt...... Therefore, they can only turn a blind eye to these people, they come and go more, the government can collect some taxes, and businessmen can also make some money. ”

"Alas, it would be nice if the imperial court could let go of Dengzhou's maritime trade."

"I heard that in the Great Song Dynasty, only a few Haicheng in Fuzhou opened up sea trade, and the people were rich, and silk, tea, and porcelain were ...... We only have to buy here, and there is nothing to sell! ”

Song Wen nodded and continued to think about something.

An Chun drank all the soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth...... "Brother, why is this wonton soup so delicious?"

Song Wen said with a smile: "There is shrimp soup, there seems to be some kelp or something...... Naturally delicious. ”

The boss was stirring the soup pot and said in surprise when he heard this: "I heard that the guest officer came from Bianliang for the first time, right?" I actually know the trick of Xiao Lao'er's wonton soup. Awesome, awesome! ”

Song Wen suddenly asked, "What about the price of kelp?"

The old man was puzzled: "What did the guest officer say, but that thick pig's tooth dish?" No one eats that thing, so it's used to feed the pigs! The small one is only the meat on the pork tooth root, marinated and used to make soup......"

Song Wen was stunned for a moment and shook his head...... It's quite extravagant, kelp seems to be something you can pay attention to, the lack of salt in the Great Song Dynasty, to put it bluntly, the lack of salt in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty! The fundamental reason is that the monopoly of salt and iron is controlled by the government and wealthy businessmen.

But if these seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, which are worthless on the beach, are directly pickled with sea salt, will they be able to avoid the inspection of the government and be sold to the mainland, so that the people can eat something that can slightly replace table salt?

Sea Salt ...... In his previous life, Song Wen had seen the salt pans in the north, where large areas of wetlands were introduced into the seawater, and then coarse salt was obtained by natural evaporation, which was then crushed and screened to remove impurities......

Song Wen shook his head, now he doesn't have the strength to play any private salt, and if he reveals his stuffing, Gao Yu won't be able to protect himself. The salt farms of the Great Song Dynasty are all in the Jiangnan generation, and it is said that there is the largest salt factory in Fuzhou that has the largest salt factory in the south of the Yangtze River.

Half of the burning mountains boiled the sea with fire power to make brine, and then refined the salt. There is also a salt lake in Western Xia that is rich in green salt, which is very popular in the northwest region. The land of Bashu is well salt, and there are also some well salt production in Guizhou, Yunnan and other places...... And all of these well salt producing areas were controlled by the government and big salt merchants without exception, and these people have continued this monopoly method of looting people's wealth until the Qing Dynasty!

Jiangnan, especially the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou, plus the luxury and wealth of Jinling, half rely on tea, porcelain and silk, and on the other side is the monopoly of salt.

Next to a temple of the City God, under a large tree sat a few beggars. At this time, a little beggar was sneaking up to a beggar who was resting in a broken hat, and whispered: "I've been listening to it for a while, it's indeed from Bianliang!" Yesterday, the commander of the house was still eating and drinking with him...... He was later carried back to his family's mansion. ”

The beggar sat up and pushed his hat up to reveal a pair of large black eyes...... asked in a low voice: "Find someone to go to that inn and ask if Zhang Huan will meet him!"

A beggar next to him wiped his dirty face and whispered, "Miss......"

"Fuck off! Don't call me ......"

"Ahh Oh...... Sister, do you really want to kill that Zhang Yanei in this Dengzhou City? ”

"Yes, he killed my fiancé...... I'm going to get revenge on him! ”

The maid dressed as a beggar shrank her neck in fear...... "But this is not at sea, if we kill someone, we won't be able to escape!" Besides, wouldn't Miss rather die than marry the third young master of the Nawu family......"

The beggar raised his head, his dirty face couldn't cover his beautiful big eyes and beautiful facial features, and at this time he showed a pair of small tiger teeth and said fiercely: "Then it won't be his turn to kill, so my father was almost angry to death...... He must be killed, so that he knows that we Bohai people are not easy to mess with! ”
