But before entering the city, he still had to go to the bandit village, and he didn't know much about the sale of salt, of course, he still had to consult his father-in-law Su Dafeng.

Su Dafeng is now under Han Dutong, and he really did the work of brushing the barrel.

Speaking of which, this is a logistics soldier, and it's the lowest kind, this brush bucket is not a bucket or something, it's a night bucket......

Su Dafeng didn't dislike it, just roll up his sleeves and do it!

But when Zhou Qi walked in front of him, he was still somewhat embarrassed.

After standing stupidly in place for a while, he quickly rinsed his hands and asked, "Why is the virtuous son-in-law here?" ”

Zhou Qi could still see his embarrassment, pulling the corners of his mouth to his lips but not knowing how to speak.

The two walked out of a long distance in silence before he greeted: "Uncle Yue, is it okay these days?" ”

"Okay! Oh no! ”

Su Dafeng lowered his head and continued: "The ruling army of Handu has strict military discipline, don't look at me as a bucket brusher, but no one in the barracks dares to stir up trouble, whoever dares to stir up trouble is served by military law, which is much better than mine!" ”

After Zhou Qi heard this, he peeked at a few bruises on Su Dafeng's hands, and the credibility of these words was almost equal to zero.

The rules after the recruits enter the camp are all taught by veterans!

He knows this very well, no matter how strict the army is, there is no contradiction, like his father-in-law's temperament, he works all day long, maybe he has been beaten a few times!

But this is a necessary experience, so he was not annoyed and would not take the initiative to mention it, and asked about the official salt directly!

"Why do you want to do this official salt business?"

Zhou Qi couldn't say that he had taken a concubine, but he remembered that the old man said that he was going to stab him, so he laughed and said: "The son inherits his father's business, my father left early, and my father-in-law is my father!" …”

After Su Dafeng heard this, he suddenly felt a little moved, what's going on?

But he still waved his hand directly: "This business can't be done, don't let the virtuous son-in-law drip this troubled water!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Qi was a little stunned, he still didn't want to believe that Su Dafeng would get involved in private salt, could it be that there was something strange about this?

Su Dafeng paused for a moment, and then became irritable!

"What else can I say!"

"Labor and management, the No. 1 salt merchant in Jinfeng County, lifts less than 50 tons of salt every year, but also 3 or 40 tons, and calculates 50,000 taels of silver every year, and cut half of it in my hands first!"

The endowment of the world, salt is half.

Zhou Qi knows this, but the number of businessmen who want to handle the salt industry only increases a lot every year.

How did it become a muddy water?

"In short, this business is not easy to do, don't be a virtuous son-in-law!"

Su Dafeng said again.

When Zhou Qi still wanted to ask, he muttered that he was busy in the army and ran away, and he didn't even say goodbye.

As a result, nothing was asked.

But this salt merchant is not as good as other small businesses, not to mention that he is already not interested in this official salt business with a lot of profits, and Su Dafeng has no beginning or end to what he said, which makes him a little up......

At this time, Wu Zhitao and Han Dutong stayed together.

When Zhou Qi arrived, Wu Zhitao crackled and shed tears!

Han Dutong also rarely showed some iron-blooded tenderness, and he really didn't have a temper with this cousin!

"Cousin, you must return safely on this expedition, but unfortunately my cousin can't embroider female red, otherwise I will embroider a peace charm for you, and you can take it with you! ……”

"Han Dutong is about to go on the expedition?"

Zhou Qi was a little surprised, this is said to be in April, why is it still ahead of schedule!?

When Han Dutong heard this, he turned around and arched his hand towards Zhou Qi.

"Speaking of which, there is also the credit of Mr. and his father-in-law, the private salt and dirty silver handed over earlier, the Son of Heaven allocated part of it to me, plus the silver money that can only be earned by Mr., now the grain, grass and weapons are all ready, and I plan to go on the expedition again in three days!"

This Su Dafeng sold illicit salt and filled the treasury for the benefit of the country? ……

Of course, if he hadn't been caught, he would have been his own!

This is not a merit, who dares to take credit!

Han Dutong is really joking now!

Zhou Qi laughed, and still congratulated sincerely: "Then I wish Han Dutong a great victory and a triumphant return!" ”

"This time, I'm going to get the city back......"

When Han Dutong said this, his eyes drifted away, but his eyebrows were tightly twisted without the slightest relaxation!

Where can he relax, he can't wait to set off now!

It's just that this time he only came to Jinfeng County with a small team of soldiers and horses, and he will sneak out of the city to meet his lieutenant generals tomorrow.

After that, the army will be ready to go, and there is still half a month away from Dahai City, but no matter how far the distance is, he will definitely bring back the souls of thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield! ……

Thinking of this, his heart sank.

For a moment, the three people present were speechless.

After a long time, Han Dutong said to Zhou Qi again: "My cousin is bothered to take care of Mr. ”

was suddenly mentioned, and Wu Zhitao also came back to his senses.

"Lang Jun treats me well, my sisters treat me well, yesterday I said that we are going to have a child this year, you can rest assured, cousin is waiting for you to return triumphantly!"

Han Du was overjoyed when he heard it, and swept away the emotions just now.

"So I'm about to become a cousin?"

Zhou Qi's face was black.

He couldn't say anything, so he just nodded casually and perfunctory twice......

After the two said goodbye, they went to the county government.

Due to the distance, the salt envoy has not yet sent the official salt.

At this time in Shanhe Village, a figure holding a wooden stick, passing by a villager, asked: "Folks, where does the shopkeeper live this week?" ”

The person who was asked was Uncle Zhou, who was about to go up the mountain to hunt.

"Shopkeeper Zhou? You mean Zhou Qi, right? ”

Uncle Zhou saw that this person was upright, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he had no defense, and he was the only one who became the shopkeeper in their village.

"Yes, yes, that's him."

The person who came showed a kind smile, and then asked, "I have a big deal with Shopkeeper Zhou, can the villagers take me there?" ”

As soon as he heard about the big deal, Uncle Zhou thought that this could not be delayed, and looked at the man again, and he was dressed decently, about forty years old, and he responded on the spot.

"Okay, I'll take you over, I just don't know if Zhou Xiaozi is out of the city today, if he is out of the city, you can go to the city to find him!"

……

Zhou Qi didn't know anything about the situation in the village, waited for sunset in the city, dealt with the affairs of the shops in the city, and finally saw a large train of carts escorted by the government into the city!

The salt transport envoy rode in front, followed by dozens of carts, to say the least.

There were two officers and soldiers on the left and right sides of each cart, and the officers and soldiers were also equipped with large swords at their waists, and the people in the city knew what was going on at a glance.

"This is a salt carrier, right? Who is in the official salt business in this city? ”

"Who knows!"

"These salt traders are heartless, and they don't care about the lives of our people!"

"Earlier, Su Dafeng was still a conscientious person, but he didn't expect to be exposed so soon......"

"Be quiet, this officer and soldier have heard it!"

As soon as these words came out, the people were silent, and they all stood on both sides to make way for them.

A column of people soon arrived in front of the county yamen.

When Wu Zhitao saw the comer, he jumped forward.

"Daddy! ……”

The salt envoy has not seen his daughter for three days, and he misses it tightly, and his face shows a calf licking feeling after getting off the horse, and his eyes are a little moist, but in the end, this trip is an office errand, and there are still so many subordinates watching at this time, as an official, you can't lose your prestige!

He only raised his eyes to look at her, didn't even say anything to her, and walked straight to the county order and Zhou Qi.

After greeting several people, Zhou Qi pointed outside and asked, "There are 20 tons of salt here?" ”

With a wave of his hand, the officers and soldiers unloaded the sacks on the cart and carried them into the county hall.

"How is that possible! This is five tons of refined salt, which is more than the county government of Jinfeng County! ”

Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he said, these 20 tons are 40,000 catties, just a dozen board cars, where can they pull it over!?

This board car is different from the heavy trucks in the world, that is, wooden board cars pulled by horses, and each board car can pull five or six hundred pounds to the sky!

After the salt envoy finished speaking, he first went to the delivery wedge with Liu Sichen's father, that is, Liu Xianling, and then returned to Zhou Qi and took out a paper ticket from his arms.

"Your twenty tons, here!"
