Chapter 18 The New Deal for Fine Salt

When Li Chengjiu was talking, the group was already lively.

It turned out that Liu Guojing also received the electronic watch from the fourth brother.

just drank some wine at the banquet and began to pretend, and without saying a word, the electronic watch was forcibly taken away by Li Bai.

Claims that today is his birthday.

And this wrist ornament is the best birthday gift he has received this year.

Liu Guojing was angry, and when he came back, he began to look through the personal profile in his poetry collection.

I didn't expect it to be more than two months before this guy's birthday.

Ancient Wear - National Mirror: "Hi mouth! Swindler! Fourth Brother ......"

Martial arts-Gao Xiaopang: "Hehehe, let you be scared." ”

Wenyu-Nana: "Haha, you can ask him if he can read the time first." ”

Gu Wear-Guojing: "Damn, the clothes this guy promised to find for me haven't been found yet, so let's get a watch from me first." ”

Rebirth-Fourth Brother Jiang: "It's okay, I'll pass you another piece tomorrow, it's not a good thing, it's a bargain." ”

Gu Wear-National Mirror: "Woo woo, the fourth brother is the best." ”

Overhead-Li Chengjiu: "Fourth brother, the watch has been received, the thief is handsome, very nice." ”

Gu Wear - National Mirror: "Xiao Jiu is too much!" ”

Martial Arts - Gao Xiaopang: "Hahahahahaha." ”

The group ridiculed.

Especially Chubby, who finally got the chance to take revenge.

Li Chengjiu silently sympathized.

Then I touched the beautiful dial and felt beautiful.

Meanwhile.

Candles are still lit in Lai's private residence.

The four old men looked at each other.

Zhang Guigui lowered his head and said nothing, while President Li stood with his hands in his hands, pacing on the ground non-stop.

"Dare to act rashly without investigating clearly, don't you know what Li Chengjiu is? It's too late for others to hide, so it's better for you to drag us into the fire pit for the sake of your personal vendetta. ”

After he came back, his mouth never stopped.

Zhang Guigui was also annoyed by the nagging, and smacked angrily:

"Damn, when Lao Tzu goes back, I have to break the two legs of the unfilial son!"

Seeing this, the three old men also complained.

"What's the use of you breaking your son's leg? Think about what to do! ”

"Yes, Li Chengjiu is a stinky scoundrel, we shouldn't recruit him."

"That guy will get revenge, who knows if we'll get into any more trouble in the future."

When Zhang Guigui heard these words, he slapped the case suddenly.

"What? Why didn't you say this when you chose yourself one by one and gave you a share? Now you're starting to blame me? ”

"This ......"

I was choked up.

But Zhang Guigui didn't relent: "And you Li Shouren, I just said that he was forced to buy and sell, when did you say that he was operating without a license and raising prices?" Aren't you looking for trouble? ”

"Hey!"

It's okay not to say this, as soon as Li Shouren's two gray thick eyebrows stood up instantly.

Angry:

"Even if you have a broken reason, you can also use it to shout with Li Chengjiu? I'm afraid I don't have a brain disease, right? ”

"And then? Do you have those two? It's not like I almost fell into the sin of beheading! ”

"Zhang Guigui! You'd better be careful when you speak! ”

"Proportion? I haven't given you the share of fine salt yet! Now that the words have come to this, I think it's better to break up and play their own games from now on, and no one will think about it! ”

"You!"

Li Shouren's stubble trembled, and his originally neat sideburns also shook out a few strands of hair.

The other two old men could still sit still when they saw this.

Hurriedly got up and became a peacemaker.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, since Li Chengjiu didn't hold on to us, that's a blessing in misfortune."

"That's right, precious, you better let go of your personal vendetta, you can't fight the prince."

"That is, if he is willing to do business, you let him do it, how much silver can you earn from a broken barbecue?"

"In the future, our well water will not interfere with the river water, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke, then we can be safe."

The two old men, you and I said one sentence to another, and Zhang Guigui also began to reflect.

Being scolded by Li Chengjiu on the street back then really became a shadow in his heart.

For this reason, he also swallowed his anger and tried not to provoke this demon king of the world.

But who knew that this guy actually started a business on the street.

Thinking that he has been in the business district for so many years, it is not easy to cure a small trader?

Suddenly having a chance to take a breath, he had the idea of looking for trouble with Li Chengjiu on a whim.

But at this time, I calmed down and pondered.

I'm still too impulsive.

The name does not fight with the official, it is not a joke.

I really don't know where I got the courage at that time.

In the end, he had to shake his head, and said with a long sigh:

"Hey! That's it, count me Zhang Precious bad luck! ”

After saying that, he stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shouren.

"Brother Li, today my brother is unscrupulous, and he said a lot of things that should not be said impulsively, it is the brother who is wrong, and I hope the elder brother will forgive me for the offense."

Li Shouren saw that Zhang Guigui finally came to his senses.

After all, there are no eternal enemies in the world, and there are only interests.

Besides, the share of fine salt has not yet arrived.

Since the other party gave the steps, he must also continue.

"It's okay, my brother is also a little impulsive today, since the words have come to this, then today's matter had better end here, and we won't mention Li Chengjiu's matter in the future."

The conflict was resolved, and the atmosphere in the room finally eased a little.

He pressed his hand and asked a few people to sit down and talk.

After a while, Li Shouren saw that everyone had calmed down, so he took a sip of tea and said:

"There's news from the palace."

"What?"

The atmosphere that had been relaxed was tense again.

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of several old men were raised.

Li Shouren waved his hand, "Don't worry, listen to what I have to say." ”

It turned out that the Great Cloud Dynasty had re-enacted a new dictatorship of fine salt.

In previous years, the control of fine salt was through the local government to manage the salt merchants, and then the salt merchants to carry out the market allocation.

But after a few years, the results were not satisfactory.

A large number of corrupt officials colluded with salt merchants for their own personal gain, resulting in a rise in the price of fine salt, but the salt tax was pitiful.

On one side, the treasury has no silver, and it cannot afford to pay military salaries.

On the other side, the common people couldn't afford to eat fine salt, so they mourned.

For this reason, the head of the household department had to draft a document proposing to revise the salt administration.

But who knew that this line of interests had already spread to the court, and the two groups of people relied on it to stand up and refused to give in to each other.

Fortunately, the emperor is an understanding person.

No longer listening to the wind blowing in the ears of these old ministers, they forcibly promulgated the new policy.

Starting with the crackdown on corrupt officials, the post of salt merchant was abolished, and the local government government carried out comprehensive control over fine salt.

However.

As soon as this government came out, the entire court began to become ready to move.

In order to avoid the incident, those profiteous old guys tried all kinds of ways to hinder the progress of the New Deal.

From Beiling to Xizhao, from Dongshu to Wenyuan.

The pace of advance has been repeatedly constrained.

Because of the remote location of southern Xinjiang, local salt merchants have a chance to breathe.

However, sooner or later, the fine salt new deal will fall on this land.

If you want to get out, you have to prepare in advance.

Li Shouren finished the whole thing, took a sip of tea again, and then lowered his eyes to look at a few people.

Several old men held their breath, each thinking about it.

Seeing this, Li Shouren coughed lightly and said:

"Now that all regions are implementing the new policy, all salt merchants must hand over a license to sell salt, which is controlled by the local government, I wonder what a few people think about this?

As soon as these words came out, several old men could still sit still, and said one after another:

"Views? Without this fine salt business, how much money can I make a year just by the few restaurants I opened? ”

"Are you sure the news is true?"

"Hmph, just rely on Qiu Xiuru's sour scholar? Can he manage fine salt well? ”

Li Shouren had already expected the reaction of several people.

Laughing softly, he stretched out a finger and said:

"Heh, so my brother is not talented, I have a plan, I don't know if a few old brothers are willing to cooperate with me."
