After Zhou Qi took it, he took a closer look at the salt.

I saw a line of big words clearly printed on the top of it: Ticket Salt Official Hair!

Salt quotes modern words, that is, the distribution license, but also the only voucher for selling salt at this time, salt merchants with salt can open a salt number in the city for the people in the city to buy, can also be sold according to the designated sales area of the salt introduction!

Salt introduction is also divided into long introduction and short introduction, the long introduction time is up to one year, the short introduction time is one season, the amount of salt on the above is different, the long introduction salt amount is high, and the short introduction salt amount is small.

The one in Zhou Qi's hand is a long lead, which can sell 20 tons of salt a year!

Now the place of sale has also been marked on this salt guide: Jinfeng County and Pei County.

Pei County is not far from them, it is in the neighboring county, and it is less than half a day's distance if you ride a horse.

It is estimated that this salt envoy also wanted to save him some trouble, and took care of it a little, otherwise most of the salt merchants now sell salt to other places, less than 100 miles or more than 1000 miles......

The price has now been written on it: coarse salt 800 copper plate a catty, fine salt 1500 copper plate a catty.

"After that, when Mr. wants to get salt, he will come to this county office, and this county government is also familiar with it, and I don't need to introduce more!"

The salt envoy had been on the road for a day, and was a little tired when he spoke.

As soon as he sat down on the chair next to the county office, the county order had already been arranged, and he came over and beckoned the salt envoy, Zhou Qi and Wu Zhitao to go to the backyard of the county office.

The salt envoy also got up and followed.

Wu Zhitao was also happy to see his father at this time, and walked in together.

Only Zhou Qi was still staring at this salt......

He got these 20 tons of salt for nothing, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or unhappy! …

Earlier, he had heard from the villagers that most of the people could not afford this official salt, and only the wealthy families in the city could buy it.

But it's okay, don't look at his previous toothbrush can be sold for four taels, it seems to be very worthless, but in fact, this is already a sky-high price, and only wealthy families can afford it!

Eight hundred copper plates can buy thirty catties of rice in this dynasty, enough for an adult man to eat for two months, and if you save money, you can still eat half a year.

If you change it to salt, if you are a family with a large population, it will be gone in less than a pound and a half!

He seemed to suddenly understand something, but it wasn't clear in his mind.

The left and right did not want to do this official salt business, so they hurried up and asked the salt envoy, "Can I resell this salt to others?" ”

"I can't do it myself!" The salt transport envoy directly stood up to him.

He had never heard that a salt dealer still wanted to sell salt!

This salt is not easy to come by, it is all bought with silver, and even he, as a salt transport envoy, also followed the normal process, and spent thousands of silver to bring this salt down!

The key is that a salt guide corresponds to a salt merchant, if the salt lead is sold, others will use the salt lead to do something, and they don't know what to do!

"Then can I only open a salt number in the city and not go to Pei County?"

The salt transport envoy felt that he was strange, and had to look at him.

Zhou Qi noticed that his gaze seemed a little uncomfortable, and he scratched his head and his face was still confused.

"This is Mr. Sui, Mr. This salt introduction has already paid the salt tax, and twenty tons of salt is more than 20,000 silver, the sooner you sell short Mr. Yu, the more advantageous it is!"

wa

t？

It's taxed!!

Zhou Qi, who was still in high spirits, suddenly lit up his eyes!

By the way, the transportation in this dynasty is not convenient, the development is backward in all aspects, how can it be convenient to collect taxes, of course, it is equivalent to paying taxes when buying this salt!

But when he thought of this, he thought about the issue of toll tax.

Wouldn't it be, this official salt will charge half of the salt tax when it buys salt, and half of the toll tax when it is sold to other places!?

I'm going to go!

This pit is big!!

Zhou Qi decisively decided to only drive the salt in the city, and it was impossible to go to Peixian!

At this time, several people had already arrived at the main hall in the backyard of the county government, and there were no outsiders, so the salt envoy no longer bothered with him, only pulled Wu Zhitao, and the two fathers and daughters reminisced about the past.

The county magistrate had also learned from Liu Sichen about the relationship between Zhou Qi and his son, so he said politely to him: "Shopkeeper Zhou, even if you go to Pei County, this toll tax can't be collected much, otherwise you will have to sell these twenty tons of salt for what year and month!?" ”

Zhou Qileng paused for a moment and asked, "What is the population of Jinfeng County?" ”

The county magistrate naturally knew what he meant by asking, so he replied truthfully: "With the addition of village farmers, there are 70,000 people in Jinfeng County!" ”

With this response, Zhou Qi is no longer afraid.

Salt is an indispensable substance for the body, and there is no substitute for salt in this era!

The demand of the people is also high, with a population of 70,000, these 20 tons of salt are just a pitiful few!

Even if you only do business in Jinfeng County and only sell wealthy people, it is enough to sell out in a year!

"What? Have a baby!? ”

There was an exclamation from the salt transport envoy.

Wu Zhitao hurriedly jumped up, trying to cover his mouth.

But it was too late, and the salt envoy came over directly, with a face full of joy: "Thanks to Mr. for his love for the little girl, if my peach can give birth to a noble son this year, I can add another 10 tons of refined salt to you!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qi was stunned again.

This dad is really atmospheric, ten tons of refined salt at every turn!!

It's a pity that he will never have a child with this Wu Zhitao, he has never touched it, where is the child! ……

Otherwise, it will be ten tons of refined salt for nothing, and it will still be the kind that has paid taxes!!

But this matter must not be explained to the salt transport envoy, and in the end he had to wave his hand and say: "More salt transport envoys, I am very good with these 20 tons, how can I let you break the bank again!" ……”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Qi glanced at Wu Zhitao, does this girl understand what it means to have a child?

Anyway, he couldn't guess the woman's thoughts, and he couldn't figure out the little girl's thoughts, so he didn't bother with this matter, and told him about Han Dutong's expedition in three days, and then exchanged pleasantries for a while, and finally set off back to the village.

And Wu Zhitao was supposed to return today, and the salt envoy also intended to bring her back.

But she said she wouldn't go back.

This made Yan Yun angry enough, and bluntly said that the daughter who married out was really like water spilled out!

I really didn't even bring my head back!

"Your dad is quite a tiger!"

Zhou Qi drove the horse in front and talked and laughed with Wu Zhitao, who had a head poking out of the carriage.

"How do you know my father is a tiger?"

Wu Zhitao tilted her head very strangely, she didn't remember what she said to Zhou Qi!

Could it be that this week's son will not be able to calculate the hexagram?

Zhou Qi shook his head, but still asked with some curiosity: "You, the official lady, are really used to living in my little mud house, why don't you go back with your father, anyway, we are also in name only, and what do you say to have children, you know that there will be no children between us......"

"I'm not going back! There is no good person in that family! ”

Wu Zhitao snorted angrily, and then asked, "Why don't we have children?" ”

Zhou Qi didn't want to answer this question, so he simply remained silent.

But Wu Zhitao was still asking: "Isn't it possible for men and women to have children in the same room?" We've already been married to each other, so why don't we have children? ”

Zhou Qi pursed his lips, but he wanted to ask her, otherwise what are you doing as those prisoners in the prison?

When else will there be a husband and wife, dare to love this girl is quite simple?

Do you still think that living in the same room is the reality of being a husband and wife?

Then he understands why this girl always thinks that she has lost her innocence! ……

But he still couldn't speak, this matter is over, why bother to expose people's scars, but thinking of the salt transport that day, he panicked.

Just thinking about it, Wu Zhitao spoke again in the back: "Speaking of which, I have to thank my eldest sister, otherwise I really can't have children!" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Qileng paused.

"Not your father?"

Wu Zhitao got out of it and sat with him, his calves hanging under the carriage and kicking happily, Peach Blossom squinted and smiled, and said, "Of course not, I thought it was so, but I asked my father just now, and he didn't do such a bad thing!" ”

Yes, this kind of thing, you can still ask!

Or the daughter asks her father!

This family, sure enough, is a tiger!

However, Zhou Qi was not interested in the affairs in the courtyard of the official family's deep house, thinking that the matter of this official salt was also because of her relationship, so he directly skipped the topic and only spoke to her: "If you don't go back, I will take half of the proceeds from selling salt after that, and give you the rest, how about it?" ”

In fact, this should have been handed over to Wu Zhitao, but he was not a good person, and there was no reason to work for nothing, so he took half of it!

However, Wu Zhitao didn't care at all, and said indifferently: "No need, I, Wu Zhitao, have married you, and I am your person in this life, and I am not short of two silver, how can I scarce your 20,000 silver?" ”

"It's not lacking, I didn't have any money before, and I was arrested in the ......"

Zhou Qi still didn't keep his mouth shut, and accidentally lifted it up again.

After that, Wu Zhitao was lonely, and he didn't say anything more, just looked up at the crescent moon that had been exposed in the sky and didn't know what he was thinking.

The two soon arrived at Zhou's house, but at this time Zhou's house was empty......

Zhao Cuihua, Su Ling, Qing Leng, Zhao Xiaoyu, the four women should have been waiting at home after cooking dinner at this hour, but now they haven't seen half a figure!
