The ancients: The ancients left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March, and the lonely sail was far away and the blue sky was endless. Only see the Yangtze River skyline.

Yangzhou is located on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, when Emperor Yang of Sui wanted to go to Yangzhou to see Qionghua. Therefore, the Grand Canal passes through the city, constituting an incomparable convenience of Yangzhou's waterway transportation.

At the door of Yangzhou Wang's Salt Company, Liu Yong got off the carriage, entered Wang's Salt Company, and said to the guy: May I ask the shopkeeper, I don't know if Wang Dong's family is there?

The shopkeeper smiled and said: Inside, I don't know where your Excellency is, what do you have to do with the owner?

Liu Yong said: Then please report to me, saying that Liu Yong is here.

The shopkeeper said: Then Your Excellency will wait a while, and the contemptible person will go in and report it.

After a while, Wang Shengchu came out, saw Liu Yong with his hands and said with a smile: Oh, Liu Dongjia, rare guests, which gust of wind blew you here, please inside.

Liu Yong followed Wang Shengchu into the inner room. They gave up their seats and exchanged polite manners.

Wang Shengchu said with a smile: That time in Shanghai, when my Wang family was in danger, thanks to the great help of Liu Dongjia and others, it was a life-saving grace, and I Wang engraved it in my heart.

Liu Yong said with a smile: Wang Dong's family is serious, and no one has a temporary difficulty.

Wang Shengchu said again: Dare to ask Liu Dongjia, have you been to Yangzhou before?

Liu Yong said with a smile: Let Wang Dongjia laugh, it is the first time in Liu's life.

Wang Shengchu said: Well, Liu Dong's family will stay here for a few more days, so that Wang can be grateful.

Liu Yong said with a smile: Liu has already caused trouble to Wang Dong's family, how dare he stay for a few more days?

Wang Shengchu said: Hey, how can you see this? It is not easy to invite Liu Dongjia over, not to mention that this time it is a rare opportunity to come uninvited.

Liu Yong smiled and was silent.

Wang Shengchu smiled again and said: There are many beautiful women in China. 'Yan Zhao Beauty', 'Wu Yue Jiaowa', 'Luoyang Daughter'...... Only the 'Yangzhou Beauty' is the loudest and the most widely spread. Why is Yangzhou outstanding? The river is beautiful, the wind and rain are moist, the products are abundant, and the climate is pleasant. The Yangtze River flows around, the ancient canal passes through the city, and the Slender West Lake is charming. Under the gentle monsoon breeze, the daughter raised by such a side of water and soil is as bright and green as the fresh and transparent begonias after the rain. Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times. Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous city in the country, and recently, Yangzhou salt merchants controlled the salt transportation industry in the country and became rich in the world. Therefore, there are many households in Yangzhou poetry and book etiquette and Zhong Ming Ding food, literati gather, and poems, paintings, pianos and books are frequently gathered. There is no pressure of difficult and embarrassing life, but there is a strong artistic atmosphere, how can the Yangzhou women who grow up in such an environment not be rich and calm, Lanqin Huixin, and vivid?

Down-and-out Jiangnan carrying wine, Chu's waist is slender and his palms are light. Ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the Qinglou Bo Xing name. After saying that, the two laughed.

Liu Yong said with a smile: It seems that Wang Dongjia has a lot of research on beautiful women. The two of them burst into laughter again.

Liu Yong said again: Contemptible people are really not interested in beautiful women. Wang Dongjia talked about Yangzhou salt industry, I don't know what the current market is?

Wang Shengchu said: It's okay not to talk about this matter, as soon as I talk about this matter, my heart is angry. Nowadays, the salt industry is very strictly controlled by the imperial court, who dares to smuggle it? Not long ago, Yanzhou Mansion sent someone to come to our bank with a silver ticket to pre-purchase, but he only returned empty-handed. Now there are 500 taels of salt, but there is no market. Nowadays, whoever still has salt in his hand sleeps on silver.

Liu Yong said with a smile: There are some in the hands of the contemptible people, I don't know what Wang Dong's family wants?

Wang Shengchu asked in surprise: Is Liu Dongjia's words serious? Where did you get it, the salt is really in demand. If there really is, the contemptible people want it too, which is like a farmer buying rice for the pot.

Liu Yong said with a smile: There are indeed a lot of salt quotations in the hands of contemptible people, and there are still 19,000 of them.

Wang Shengchu said in surprise: This number is the annual output of Lianghuai, so the salt industry here has been controlled by Liu Dongjia. You can also set up a salt bureau management office here, and the relevant procedures are willing to serve Liu Dongjia, and I will be covered.

Liu Yong smiled: Thank you first. The contemptible people have no intention of controlling your salt industry, and only hope that the goods in their hands will be sold as soon as possible.

Wang Shengchu said: The contemptible people want 2,000 sheets. The price is five hundred taels.

After Liu Yong and Wang Shengchu handed over the money and delivered the goods with one hand, Wang Shengchu kept them again and again, and Liu Yong insisted on leaving. The two said goodbye.

Liu Yong returned home non-stop.

When Hong Ying saw Liu Yong coming back, he immediately stepped forward and said: The old man is tired from the journey, and the weather is hot, so he should rest first.

Liu Yong said with a smile: If you want to make money, how can it be easy and not tired?

Hong Ying called Liu Yong to wash his face, and ordered the scary person to make tea.

Liu Yong was wiping his face, and Hong Ying was fanning him. While saying with concern: Seeing that you are covered in sweat, I feel sorry for my wife. Money is something outside the body, as long as it is enough to spend. What's more, the old man is old, why do you have to run around so day and night.

Liu Yong smiled and said: You already think that your husband is old, I think, how many more children we have to have.

Hong Ying blushed and said: You old and unserious. So, I went back to the inner room.

......

Jiaxing, Jinhua and other places have developed salting industries, and a large amount of salt is needed.

Liu Yong brought Ah Rong all the way over, and Yan Yin had already shot more than halfway. They were driving the carriage and were heading along the winding path towards Yanzhou's mansion.

In August, the sun is scorching, and the air is so hot that a match can be struck. The fields were barren, and the paddy fields were so dry that they cracked one after another. Liu Yong looked out the window, but felt extremely cold in his heart.

The carriage passed by a hillside and saw several ragged men surrounding it.

Liu Yongdao: Stop, go down and have a look.

Liu Yong got out of the carriage and came to the crowd with Ah Rong, and was shocked to see two ragged corpses, a man and a woman, lying there, and several young people digging pits. Liu Yong asked: Who is the deceased and why is it buried?

A young man in ragged clothes cried and said, "The deceased is a young parent, just because many people in my department have been suffering from such a strange disease recently, and they have no money to administer medicine, so they have to wait for death." And because the family was really poor, there was no money to bury it, so I had to bury it on the spot and put it into the ground for peace, so as to soothe my unfilial heart.

After Liu Yong heard this, he burst into tears and said: Bury slowly.

Several people looked at Liu Yong curiously.

Liu Yong said to Ah Rong: Take out some silver taels with him, let him buy two coffins for his parents, buy some clothes, and bury them after changing.

The young man knelt down towards Liu Yong and said: The guest officer is so kind and virtuous, he is engraved in his heart, and he will try to repay him in his lifetime.

Liu Yong said: Hurry up and hurry up.

A man who helped dig the pit next to him said unintentionally: In this case, there are several more in the village.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. As soon as he heard that there were several more in the village, Liu Yong said to Ah Rong: Let's go and have a look.

Liu Yong and Ah Rong went to the village with the guides, only to see a family carrying a corpse wrapped in reeds. Liu Yong instructed Ah Rong to take out the silver, and there were more than 10 households at once, and Liu Yong instructed Ah Rong to do so one by one.

At a homestay, Liu Yong learned that malaria was common in the area, and many people were lying in bed and dying. Malaria is not an incurable disease, it is simply because there is no money to administer it.

Liu Yong summoned someone to invite the first chief. He also commanded Ah Rong to give each household five pieces of ocean.

Liu Yong said to Chief A: Quickly send someone to invite Lang Zhong to treat the patient, and the cost will be borne by Zaixia.

Captain A waved his hands to Liu Yong and said affectionately: The guest officer is so righteous, he is the savior of my people, and his name will go down in history. Please ask the benefactor for his name.

Ah Rong's mouth was fast, and he said: Liu Yong of Gui'an County is also.

Liu Yong smiled and said: Hey, it's a trivial matter, why bother.

Lang Zhong is here. Liu Yong said to Lang Zhong: In the past few days, you have been treating all the patients in the village, and until you recover, all the expenses will be settled with him.

Due to the hot weather, coupled with a few days of fatigue, and not eating well, Liu Yong suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Now, everyone in the village is in a hurry, and Ah Rong is also in a hurry, at a loss, what to do if there is a matter? Captain A then shouted: Quick, quick! Tell Lang Zhong to come over quickly.

Lang Zhong came over to check Liu Yong's pulse, and said: He is overworked, and he has not eaten well for a few days, and he has some prostration, and now he is also a little hot, and when the high temperature subsides, he will naturally recover. Now I urgently need the antipyretic herbs of 'Joy at First Sight', and I have run out of them here, so I have to send someone up the mountain to collect them immediately."

As soon as they heard that they were going to go up the mountain to collect medicine, the two elderly villagers picked up the basket and left.

After a while, a basket of 'joy at first sight' came.

An old lady carefully washed the herbs, boiled them into soup, and slowly fed Liu Yong with a spoon.

Soon, Liu Yong gradually opened his eyes, and the stones hanging in his heart from the people around him finally landed.

Liu Yong's first sentence asked: Have all the patients been treated?

A Changdao: Please rest assured that the patients have been healed and are recovering, and you are recuperating.

An old lady also boiled egg soup for Liu Yong and fed Liu Yong slowly.

Two days later, Liu Yong gradually recovered. Liu Yong asked Ah Rong and Lang Zhong to settle the accounts, and then go back to Nanxun.

Lang Zhong was moved and said: The guest officer is so righteous that he has benefited the contemptible people a lot. This time, the people went to the doctor, only the medicine fee was charged, and the consultation fee was waived.

Ah Rong clasped his hands and expressed his gratitude to Lang Zhong.

Liu Yong and Ah Rong wanted to return to Nanxun, and the villagers all went to the village entrance to send each other in tears.

On the carriage, Liu Yong asked Ah Rong: How many silver taels are there?

Ah Rong Dao: There is not much left.

Liu Yong said again: This experience, no one should say anything when you go home.
