Chapter 14 The Salt Road Leads to the World and Will Be in Turmoil

As for the origin of the Wu family brothers and sisters, Yu Feng has not and carefully examined them, especially Wu Yanran's fine salt workshop, after a steady stream of turning a load of coarse salt into fine salt, his doubts have deepened. However, it is just a doubt, according to the Wu family brothers and sisters, a merchant who runs a grain business has absolutely nothing to do with this method of boiling fine salt. Besides, even if the Wu family's method is ancestral, it doesn't make sense that the son of the Wu family doesn't know, but the daughter knows, you know, the daughter always has to marry out and become someone else's family, it's not cheap.

He is not a person who has no brains at all, but he found that he really can't see through this Wu Yanran, that Wu Ting's speech and behavior are like the son of a small businessman, but Wu Yanran is a little strange. However, he is just a little confused, since people say that he is from such a background, he will also treat others as a person with such a background, in fact, even if the other party is a bandit, or a Jiangyang thief, or a criminal of the imperial court, so what, he is not also doing the same thing of killing heads, everyone is each other, the eldest brother Mo laughs at the second brother, and the screw does not laugh at the clam shell.

Seriously, this fine salt workshop has really been established, and it is still going out with a steady stream of salt. This boiled fine salt, Yu Feng has also carefully looked at it, compared to the so-called snowflake salt that he saw in the salt merchant steward surnamed Liu, the quality is much better, it is really like sand, crystal like snow, it is about to reach the standard of modern refined salt, he secretly calculated in his heart, if the kind of fine salt he saw last time can be sold for four or five cents a load, his own fine salt, let alone it.

This is also its own primary processing plant! He was happy in his heart, looking at the load of fine salt piled up in the warehouse, as if he saw an ingot of white flowers and silver.

The salt goods cooked by those people under his command were far from keeping up with the speed of fine salt processing, and soon the fine salt workshop was sold out, Yu Feng discussed with Zhao Gui and a few people, and felt that it was not enough to rely on the salt cooked by his own people, and there were still so many people in this village who boiled salt, so they simply put away the salt goods of these people, and then processed and sold them themselves.

In the early morning of June 28, Yu Feng set off with more than 20 people with freshly boiled fine salt, and behind him, the Zhao family's compound was bustling, and the military households in the village were noisy one by one with great enthusiasm. Zhao Zongqi's family has collected salt, and it is a full three cents of silver, which is a full penny more than those vampires in the Inspection Division, and real money, cash on delivery, never in arrears, such a good thing, who is not in a hurry to send their own salt goods over.

And the silver taels left by Yu Feng were enough for the salt goods collected by Zhao Zongqi, and the yard was piled up. Of course, Yu Feng didn't know what happened in the Zhao family's compound, and now he was sitting in the salt stack of the Fang family's salt merchant in Lingshan Town, sipping a cup of turquoise and clear tea, talking to this fat salt merchant.

Now, he is also qualified to sit in the main hall and slowly "talk business" with Liu Yanshang, and in the courtyard of the salt stack, dozens of loads of snowflake-like fine salt are the guarantee of his strength.

Fang Salt Merchant's name is Fang Cai, this name is not atmospheric enough when you hear it, and in fact, the name is like his person, although on the ground of this Lingshan Mountain, people from all walks of life have to respectfully call him "Fang Weng", but his real identity is just an ordinary steward of the Fang family, and he does not even have the qualifications of the shopkeeper, like him who is stationed in the vicinity of the major salt farms in Shandong to collect salt, the Fang family has sent at least dozens of people, although there are a lot of salt goods coming in every day, but dozens of loads of excellent snowflake salt at one time, such times, He didn't meet much, so he had to meet with the people who came to sell salt to see if there was any possibility of long-term cooperation.

The more good salt he receives, the more silver he earns for the master's family, and the benefits for his purse and position in the lord's house are naturally great. He would never have too many such customers. When he walked into the hall, he found that the young man drinking tea in the hall was vaguely familiar.

This is also Yu Feng's dress, and the last few times has changed, the first few times, he was in a short shirt, mixed in a group of short-shirted men, at best, it seems a bit extraordinary, but, this time, he is a green shirt and a scarf, sitting in the hall, clearly has a bit of a scholar's grace.

"Slack, slack!" Fang Cai greeted warmly.

"Fang Weng is polite, it's not the first time to buy and sell, what's there to slack there!" Yu Feng stood up and arched his hand at Liu Cai.

Not the first time? Liu Cai's mind was spinning rapidly, and thanks to his flexible brain and good memory, he quickly matched Yu Feng with the vague impression in his mind.

"Haha, it turned out to be a little brother, it's really not the first time, hahaha!" As soon as Fang Cai thought about it, he was immediately very happy in his heart, daring to be affectionate, he was really his old customer: "I heard, little brother, this time you transported dozens of loads of snowflake salt?" ”

"Exactly!" Yu Feng said with a smile: "It's all made by the people below with their rough hands, and I don't know if it's the intention of Fang Weng or not!" ”

"Fit, fit!" Liu Cai nodded again and again, before he came in, he saw the fine salt brought by his subordinates, it was really good salt, it was this kind of salt, in the rich family of Yangzhou City, it was not decent.

"The price...?" Seeing that Liu Cai was satisfied, Yu Feng of course took advantage of the situation to ask for the price, he didn't come here as a guest, he was purely seeking money, if he could sell an extra piece of silver, his financial resources would be richer.

"It's easy to say in terms of price, you won't owe it to the little brother!" Fang Cai didn't care about this, what he cared about was whether this kind of goods was a hammer deal, or it was continuous.

"It's just that how much such fine salt can there be per month?"

Yu Feng estimated his production capacity, if there were enough raw materials, and Wu Yanran's workshop was working day and night, it would not be a problem to produce a hundred quintals a month.

"Let's do it! I can't tell! Yu Feng said.

"Good! Good! Liu Cai said happily, there are hundreds of loads of fine salt a month, which has far exceeded his expectations, plus the coarse salt collected, wouldn't it be possible to transport back a shipload of salt to the master's family every month, with this performance, let alone be in charge next year, it is possible to be promoted to the shopkeeper.

"This snowflake salt, generally four or five silver a load, before coming, I think the little brother has also inquired, we don't say dark words, this Lingshan Town, and our family can afford this price, but if the little brother can exceed 100 taels a month, it is worth adding three more points of silver to each load." Fang Cai pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"So good! There is Lao Liu Weng to take care of it! Yu Feng sincerely thanked him, he was already very satisfied with the price, in modern terms, it was a win-win situation, what was he not satisfied with.

After delivering the silver money, Yu Feng directly asked Zhao Gui to distribute silver to his subordinates, this time, it was more than last time, but the silver money was more, and the less money was also divided into two taels of silver, and the more one was fully divided into four taels of silver. When the silver of the white flowers arrived, everyone cheered, and those who followed the aftermath a few times performed well, but those new military households were ecstatic, so much silver, some of them saw it for the first time in their lives.

Next, everyone purchased all kinds of things, needless to say, if there are careful people, you will find that this group of dark-skinned men, even if they sell out of salt, the bamboo poles placed on the car are reluctant to discard.

That night in Zhaojia Village, every household laughed and laughed, needless to say, sold salt goods to Zhao Zongqi's house, followed Yu Feng to Lingshan Town and came back, more or less took advantage of a few silver coins in his hand, and the fragrance of food came from time to time in the curling smoke, which made Yu Feng who stood in the yard and looked at the mountain of salt bags, quite proud.

"Feng'er, will we toss a little louder!" In fact, when Yu Feng entrusted him to come forward to buy the salt goods in the village, he knew that his family was now closely tied to Yu Feng, if he didn't know anything about Yu Feng, he was afraid that a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it, if he really wanted to be more serious with Da Ming Law, at least it was an accomplice charge.

Yu Feng smiled and said nothing, if this is a big toss, then it can only stay in the category of individual processing forever, don't think about further development.

"Will this inspection department find us!" Zhao Zongqi said, after all, there are more than 200 ruffians in this inspection department who act as salt ding, which is more than the number of family members of their command envoys, even if they are the commanders, they are also polite when they encounter the salt transportation inspection, if they conflict with the inspection department, the commander will definitely not stand up for them.

"Father-in-law, have you tasted such sweetness, are you still willing to go back to the old days of lack of food and clothing, and being exploited by others?" Yu Feng asked rhetorically.

"Of course not!" Zhao Zongqi was stunned for a moment, and then replied without hesitation.

"In that case, if someone is unwilling to let us live such a good life, what do you say?"

"Of course, beat these turtle grandchildren so hard that they broke this thought!" Zhao Zongqi understood what Yu Feng meant, and said fiercely.

"Over there of the hundred households, I still need my father-in-law to say that it will not work, let my family find trouble with my own family, in two days, I plan to take the group of boys who have followed me out a few times, and practice it well, if there is really an eye-open, dare to beat our idea, let's let them know that this Zhaojia Village is a place where they can't come and go!" Yu Feng looked at the bloody remnant sun in the sky, but his mind flew thousands of miles away, at this moment, Shaanxi has been in drought one after another, those displaced people should start tossing, their own family is only starting to act now, will it be a little late, can they really be able to let themselves and the people around them live in this troubled world when the world is in chaos?
