"I've thought about it." Chang Suining took the tea handed by Xi'er and said, "It's the price of salt." ”

For the common people, salt is indispensable, and for the Dasheng court, the salt tax is a huge financial revenue, so salt is related to the foundation of the dynasty at the top and bottom.

Dasheng imitated the official salt system of the previous dynasty, and on the basis of the previous dynasty to improve and supplement many times, but the general direction remained the same, the same is to set up a salt factory, supervise the salt production of salt households, the imperial court from the salt households to buy salt, and then sell it to the hands of the major salt merchants, who are responsible for selling it everywhere.

The smugglers are those who go beyond the government and secretly take salt from salt farmers, and even make their own salt.

They often sold salt at low prices, which not only disturbed the order of the salt market, but also violated the tax interests of the imperial court, and because of the lack of supervision, the quality of salt sometimes appeared uneven - this is a disadvantage when the situation is stable, and the role played by smugglers in troubled times is mostly linked to the word unrest.

However, as Luo Guanlin said, the popularity of illicit salt in recent years is not just because of the rampant smuggling of illicit salt dealers.

The word buying and selling, buying the word first, buying before selling.

"Since last year, the price of salt has risen again and again, and even remained high, especially during the period when Xu Zhengye was entrenched in Jiangdu, and the salt policy was full of chaos." Chang Suining drank two sips of warm and suitable tea to quench his thirst, and said: "When I went out early the morning before yesterday, I bought a basket of steamed buns in front of an inconspicuous morning market stall, and its taste was very light. ”

There are always people who can't afford to buy official salt, and they don't dare to buy illegal salt frequently, so many people are forced to choose light food.

Listening to Chang Suining talk about the chaos left by Xu Zhengye in Yangzhou, and hearing her say that Weifu went to the street to buy steamed buns, Luo Guanlin was silent for a moment, and his mood was indescribably complicated.

When he spoke again, he said with a straight face: "Chang Tingshi has the intention to rectify the salt affairs in Jiangdu, and it is inevitable to deal with salt merchants, and it is imperative to try to get them to reduce the price of salt as soon as possible, so that the salt market can return to stability...... Have you seen those big salt merchants in the history of Chang Ting? ”

Chang Suining shook his head: "I don't plan to meet them, I took the initiative to beg them, doesn't it seem that I, the new assassin, are too decent and easy to speak." ”

She put down the teacup: "I'm going to let them come to me." ”

Facing those smiling eyes, Luo Guanlin realized that the reason why she killed those smugglers with great fanfare and protested was not only to make an example of chickens and monkeys, but also to bring the neighbors of the "monkeys" by the way.

"It's different now, I'm not going to see them for a long time, it's them who should be anxious." Chang Sui Ning Dao.

In peacetime, these big salt merchants who controlled the salt market were all extremely angry, but now they are different, and in this world, it is not enough to have money in their hands.

No matter how rich they are, when the war is approaching, if they take a wrong step under their feet, the salt and gold in their hands will be wiped out in an instant, and those warriors who dissipated overnight are bloody examples. The collapse of old forces such as the Shi clan has also forced many people to rethink and examine the way of survival.

And after Xu Zhengye's exploitation, the salt merchants in Jiangdu who can still survive are all human spirits, watching people get off the plate, and the ability to see the wind and make the rudder is naturally not a problem, and it is impossible to do it, and there is no reason to make a stupid act of not crying without seeing the coffin.

They have been watching in private these days, and at first they were thinking - what they know is that this new assassin who is famous for his military exploits and dares to openly ask the Son of Heaven for an official is by no means a weak and bully, and the other party is now also the marshal of the anti-Japanese war, holding military power in his hands, and he is by no means just an empty shelf.

But the victory is young and inexperienced...... I don't know if it's easy to fool?

Yanzheng is not afraid that she doesn't understand, but I'm afraid that she understands it too well.

However, after waiting patiently for a few days, and did not wait for the other party to propose that he wanted to see them, the other party asked each party to elect a speaker to express his opinions, but only "missed" their salt merchants...... Jiangdu is in various industries, even if it is added together, where does it matter if they are salt merchants? Doesn't their opinion matter?!

Does she understand or not?

After the news spread about the killing of 100 smugglers yesterday, some salt merchants have begun to sit still completely - afraid that she understands too well, and afraid that she doesn't understand at all, and will only kill indiscriminately! What if they meet a soldier in a show?

Wang Fa? Now that Jiangdu has changed hands one after another, where is there any sound royal law!

After all, this new assassin is very short of silver, and when he heard about the rebuilding of business, he was already ready to send a large stack of IOUs to the eldest princess of Xuan'an...... The reason why they know these inside information is because of their flexible connections, and secondly, because Chang Suining is not strict with his mouth.

She just wants to shout out, just to let everyone know that she is very short of silver now, and she is going crazy thinking about silver - this is the reason why she was discussing with a group of officials early the day before yesterday, and sighed in public [Everyone, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that there was a lot of money in the sky, both yellow and white, if it was true, how good it would be].

There was a brief silence in the hall at that time, and most of them were overwhelmed by the straightforwardness of the new assassin.

This overly straightforward sentence naturally can't escape the ears of those salt merchants who are always paying attention to the attitude of the new assassin.

A person who started with military achievements, is so young, and has never lived a hard life, if he lacks money and is in a hurry, he can do something, right?

There are wars and disasters inside, and there are Japanese coveters outside, if you still want to survive in Jiangdu, and you still want to live under her Chang Sui Ning, what else can you do?

What is a man or a woman, old or young, and whoever holds the lifeblood of Jiangdu'an in his hands now is the boss...... Those who try to despise the other party's mind to get by, and take it, it's easy to waste your life if you think too much!

Since there is no longer a fluke, then we must express our stance as soon as possible, and they all understand the truth of saying beautiful words as soon as possible, otherwise when the knife is on the neck, no matter how much you say, it can only be a last word!

So, after some urgent deliberations, the salt merchants made a statement last night—

"The salt merchants brought me a list last night." Chang Sui Ning said: "Xu was yesterday when I asked people to send the heads of those salt dealers to various places, I accidentally passed in front of their house, which scared people, and I actually came to deliver orders in the middle of the night. ”

Luo Guanlin: "......" is a good "accidental passing".

Luo Ze felt a little chill in his back when he heard this, this "carelessness" was also weird.

They realized how difficult Jiangdu was to rebuild, and volunteered to donate generously to help Jiangdu overcome the immediate difficulties as soon as possible. Some people even promised to donate all their family resources. ”

Chang Suining said, and asked Xi'er to take the list: "Please take a look at Mr., it's a lot of money." ”

Luo Guanlin took the list, looked at the amount of money on it, and then raised his eyes to look at the girl sitting in the chair, his eyes changed slightly.

She didn't even see the salt merchants in front of them, and they took the initiative to take out so much silver in a short period of time...... There are indeed some means.

And so much blood has been released, and it is a matter of piggybacking to agree to regulate the price of salt.

Luo Guanlin felt that for the top and bottom of Jiangdu at this time, there was no difference between right and wrong, as long as she could stabilize the order and make no more turmoil and killing in this land, it was her skill.

Luo Guan was about to speak and stopped, only to see the girl smile at him: "Mr. Luo wants to praise me, just praise me." ”

Luo Guanlin, who seemed to be seen through his heart at a glance: ...... I don't want to think about it anymore!

Mother Luo, who had never intervened, was about to praise the lord on behalf of her son, when Ah Che walked in from outside and said, "Girl, Wang Changshi is here." ”

Chang Suining: "Please come in." ”

As soon as Wang Changshi walked into the hall to salute, he heard Chang Sui Ning share the happy event and said, "Changshi came just in time—"

She told the salt merchants about their actions, and asked Wang Changshi to look at the number on the list, and sighed: "It's not in vain that I call poverty every day, calling poverty is really useful, and there is really silver in the sky." ”

Wang Changshi took the list from Luo Guanlin's hand in surprise, and couldn't help but look at the man wearing a half mask in front of him with a little curiosity, and the four people behind him-

Wang Changshi had a kind and polite smile on his face, and asked thoughtfully: "I don't know if Your Excellency is ......?"

Luo Guanlin: ...... The best thing about this question is that he doesn't know who he is.

So, who should he be? In what capacity should I stay with her?

The time to determine the name came unexpectedly, and Mr. Luo looked at Chang Suining.

Chang Sui Ning said: "This gentleman is a person of insight specially invited by me, and he will live in the house for a long time in the future." ”

Wang Changshi knows, the new doorman.

Also, Lord Assassin's official duties are really heavy, and he will be busy with the war later, so he should raise a few more doormen to solve problems.

Wang Changshi's tone was a little more polite: "I don't know your surname?" ”

Luo Guanlin was silent, he didn't know this.

Wang Changshi muttered a little in his heart, and asked the lord to help answer everything, this guest was wearing a mask, and the shelf was weird.

Chang Suining pulled out a random word from his mind: "Mr.'s surname is Qian." ”

This was too improvisational, which made Luo Guanlin dumbfounded in his heart.

All she has money on her mind, right?

I knew that he would have picked one at random!

Sensing her son's dissatisfaction, Luo's mother pinched him lightly, the surname Qian is so wow, more money, more prosperous lord! And those who have died once, don't they have to be auspicious?

"Mr. Qian......" Wang Changshi thought for a while and tried to ask: "Mr. is from the Wuxing Qian family?" ”

"Exactly...... is exactly that," Mother Luo smiled and nodded.

Luo Guanlin: "? ”

How is it "exactly"!

Why do you really bring a Wuzhong accent!

As everyone knows, although Luo's mother has not thought deeply, she has foresight - often assassinating a person like Shi, there will be many customers in the future, if there is no serious way, it will be excluded by others, so that the status is unstable!

The Wuxing Qian family is also a big family, with many side branches, who can still inquire one by one?

Sure enough, Wang Changshi was in awe and gave another salute.

Luo Guanlin reluctantly returned the courtesy, and his heart was weaker than his kidneys.

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival ~ love you (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭

(In the last two days of the month, do you still have a monthly pass?) If you don't vote, it's going to be emptied, don't waste it hehehehehe)
