On the other side of Shiraishi Mountain, it specializes in the processing of snowflake salts, perfumes and essential oil products.

At this time, Jingyuexuan mainly processed rubber products and glassware.

During the period of Lu An's departure, a large amount of white sea sand transported from the coastal area was still being transported, and a pile of five or six meters of sand had been piled up in the area near the lake behind Nuoda Jingyue Xuan.

Coarse sulphur and rubber from the Turks and the Western Regions were placed in purpose-built sealed warehouses.

Lu An took Hai'er's little hand, and together with Lu Yuyan and Mu Lingfeng, he inspected the storage of various substances and the scene of processing glassware.

"Miss Yuyan, in the warehouse where sulfur is stored, remember to prevent fire and moisture, otherwise once something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"This concubine knows, but, from the concubine's point of view, in fact, the sulfur we transported from the Western Regions is actually enough, is it necessary to purchase it from the Turks?"

Lu An smiled, "You don't know about this."

Sulfur is the most important thing in the manufacture of rubber products.

It's just that the rubber products we are processing now are limited to preventing glass from being brittle, as well as car tires.

This is nothing more than a stopgap measure.

After defeating the Lu and Chen families, there are still many things that can be made into rubber products, and when the time comes, I am afraid that this bit of sulfur may not be able to be used.

In addition, wouldn't it be better to have one more source of goods? ”

Since the discovery of rubber grass in the Western Regions, Lu An has long wanted to realize that only rubber products are enough to make him invincible in the Central Plains business world.

It's just that now there are two hens that can lay golden eggs, such as snowflake salt and glassware, and there is no need to waste energy on developing rubber products for the time being.

But that doesn't mean he's going to give up on rubber products!

Because, first store the necessary substances such as sulfur, and sooner or later there will be a day when they can be used.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

When the three of them walked to the area near the lake of Jingyue Xuan, where the white sea sand was stored, Lu Yuyan frowned slightly, "Since our glassware has officially started to be sold, the porcelain of the Plains Chen family has inevitably been greatly affected.

Although the Chen family has not taken any action for the time being, as far as the concubine knows, the Chen family seems to secretly control a lot of white sea sand beaches along the coast.

So much so that recently, the people who deliver sea sand to our side have complained, and their income has decreased a lot. ”

"Oh?"

Lu An immediately sneered when he heard this, "It seems that the Plains Chen clan is finally a little breathless, and he must have guessed that one of the raw materials of our glassware comes from the white sea sand, right?" ”

Lu Yuyan nodded, "There is no doubt about this.

After all, the impact of our glassware on the Chen family's porcelain is too great, and it is inevitable to make some small movements.

It's just that the Chen family has a big business and has deep roots in the Jiangnan area, if they are bent on embarrassing our source of sea sand, they will definitely have some impact on us.

Fortunately, our current stock of sea sand can be produced for at least three months, and the concubine is trying to find a way to find someone to find the source of white sea sand in other coastal areas. ”

"Wait." Lu An stopped and looked at Lu Yuyan, "You mean, the Chen family controls Baihai Sand, not by legal means?" ”

"Legal means?" Lu Yuyan shook her head and smiled, "An Shao, with the influence of the Plains Chen Clan in Jiangnan, do you still need any legal means?" ”

"Playing muddy? Oh, yes! ”

Lu An instantly became interested.

"Ahh

beckoned, Ah Da, who was hanging far behind, ran to the front in a few steps.

"Ah Da, you go to Jiankang City and help me do something."

Lu An whispered a few words in his ear, Ah Da nodded, and immediately turned to leave.

"Xianggong ......" Looking at the back of Ah Da leaving, Mu Lingfeng blinked curiously, and Lu Yuyan also showed a confused look.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a matter of asking Ah Da to borrow some soldiers from Uncle Chu."

"Borrowed soldiers?" Lu Yuyan was speechless for an instant.

Although she could also see that Chu Yin was used to being arrogant to Lu An, as for borrowing troops......

Is it that easy!

In fact, Lu An also wanted to know if Ah Da's trip went well.

The move of borrowing troops was also his temporary intention to test his status in Chu Yin's mind again.

If you borrow it successfully, then go further!

In short, if he doesn't understand Chu Yin's tolerance for him, he won't give up easily......

The next day, Ah Da returned.

Coming back with him, there were also five hundred capable soldiers specially sent by Chu Yin and under his command!

"Did Uncle Chu ask me about the purpose of borrowing soldiers?"

Ah Da shook his head honestly, "Knowing that An Shao needs it, Lord Chu did not hesitate to send this team.

There is only one request for adults, as long as An Shao does not leave Jiangnan, everything is easy to say. ”

"Huh." Lu An smiled when he heard this, turned over and got on his horse, "Ah Da, call all our people, take these soldiers with me, and go to Linjiang with me." ”

Linjiang, the closest coastal area to Yangzhou, is also the place where the white sea sand required for processing glassware in Lu'an is the richest.

Seeing this, Mu Lingfeng immediately said, "Xianggong, I'm going too." ”

"Lingfeng, with Ah Da and them following, you better stay at home and take care of Hai'er.

What's more, now that the weather is so hot, why should you suffer with me?

Well, in a few days, we'll be back. ”

Mu Lingfeng was helpless, so he had to nod aggrievedly.

Lu An took 500 sergeants sent by Ah Da and Chu Yin all the way to the east, day and night, and arrived at Linjiang in two days.

Along the way, from time to time, you will meet ordinary people who are driving horse-drawn carriages loaded with white sea sand.

It's just that the faces of these people are not very good-looking.

At first, Lu An thought it was because of the hot weather, but after asking, he learned that these people were angry.

Since Lu An publicly issued a notice in Yangzhou to buy a large number of white sea sand, the people around Yangzhou cheered and were happy to find such a profitable livelihood.

However, the good times did not last long, and they were soon targeted by the Chen clan of the plains who were impacted.

As Lu Yuyan said, the Chen family in Pingyuan has a big business, and they have been operating in the Jiangnan area for hundreds of years, and it is easy to control the white sea sand in the Linjiang area.

Seeing that more and more white sea sand is controlled by the Chen family, the people who rely on transporting white sea sand to Lu'an have collected less and less white sea sand, and they are naturally aggrieved.

After listening to the grievances of a common man, Lu An secretly sneered, "Uncle Sun, you can hand over the sea sand to others and send it to Danyang, please join me with your old man and help me identify who occupied the white sea sand!" ”

Uncle Sun looked at Lu An and the majestic five hundred soldiers behind him, and plucked up the courage to ask, "Dare to ask the little brother what ...... is?"

"Old man, my son-in-law is An Shao, who bought Baihai Sand." Ah Da explained from the side.

Lu An then said softly, "Uncle Sun, don't worry, as long as you identify the person who occupies the white sea sand, Lu guarantees that the sea sand you will transport in the future will be purchased at twice the price!" ”

"Good!" After knowing Lu An's identity, Uncle Sun gritted his teeth and said angrily, "With An Shao supporting us, what else is there to be afraid of the old man!" ”

Lu An's blatant challenge to the Lu and Chen families in Yangzhou has long been rumored in the streets, and in the minds of many people, even the Yangzhou prefect is respectful to Lu An, no matter how domineering the Chen family is!

So, Uncle Sun straightened his back, turned around and rushed to the beach with Lu An.
