The seaside stopped for a while, but the afterglow did not dare to be careless. Here in this salt pan, he placed a large team of salt, and it became a common practice. In the vicinity of the salt pans, it is absolutely forbidden for anyone to come close to unrelated people. If an unknown outsider comes to Zhaojia Village and sees so many soldiers training and patrolling, they will definitely treat this place as a large military camp.

The production of the salt field is not the original aimless stacking, but once the salt is produced, it is immediately packed and sent to the Yujia Manor, and in the manor, part of it is sent to Wu Yanran's fine salt workshop, boiled into snowflake salt, and packed in large vats or wooden boxes. The other part is directly put into the warehouse, and after accumulating a certain amount, it will be escorted by the armed salt ding, and sent to the Wu family trading house in Lingshan City together with the snowflake salt. In the end, the Wu family firm distributed these salt goods to salt merchants in various places.

The sale of these salt goods can bring Yu Feng a profit of three or four thousand taels of silver per month, but in addition to various expenses, Yu Feng's hands can not be left behind, just like he himself sometimes laughs at himself on the side, he has purely become a "passing God of Wealth", his left hand in and right hand out, looking at the fire, is actually a hollow big guy.

The people sent by Yu Feng to find out the details of the Fang family also slowly passed the information back. Yu Feng found out that it turned out that the direct contradiction between him and the Fang family had already happened in secret, and a large part of the illegal salt that his subordinates were investigating in Pingdu Prefecture and Changyi was not the output in Shandong at all, but the actual Huai salt. Following these clues, all the spearheads are pointed at these Huai salt merchants.

He didn't dare to slack off, most of the salt strength of his subordinates was strengthened in these directions, since these people did the first year of junior high school, he dared to do fifteen, since everyone has already torn their faces, then, if you Huai Yan wants to enter my territory, there is no door. Of course, after this teared face, the salt lads and those private salt dealers supported by Huai merchants, both sides inevitably saw each other, and everyone also had their own casualties, but, in general, Yu Feng took advantage of the home field, and the loss was smaller.

As a result, Yu Feng suddenly felt that his manpower began to be tense again. It seems that there are a lot of more than 1,000 people, but he can't help but sprinkle a little here, a little there, this huge ground is scattered, although he shouted to guard against death, not to let a grain of Huai salt enter Shandong, in fact, in many places, due to the problem of manpower, he has a feeling of powerlessness. Expanding financial resources and increasing manpower is an imminent matter, and this is also something that makes Yu Feng very distressed.

However, there are some unsatisfactory places, but there is still a lot of good news. For example, he has responded well to the sharding sales system set by the salt barons everywhere.

There is only one salt lord salt merchant in a place to distribute his salt goods, and when choosing these regional distributors, Wu Ting, the shopkeeper of the Wu family firm, still took a lot of effort, no matter what the identity of these distributors is, but without exception, these people are all local people with huge energy. Yu Feng's salt ding is in these places, at least he will not worry about any local antipathy towards them, and even collusion with salt lords from other places, ventilating and reporting to fight against salt ding. The interests of these salt barons and salt merchants are closely tied to the inspection department, and the inspection department is doing to eliminate competitors for them, so it is no wonder that they do not support it vigorously.

The person who went to Fujian to deliver the letter from the Wu family firm came back, and what surprised Yu Feng was that he did not wait for a reply from Fujian, but waited for a letter from the Shandong salt transport envoy.

In the letter, the salt envoy really praised Yu Feng's various performances since he took office, but this is also the meaning of the title, a fixed amount of silver is sent every month, if the salt envoy is not satisfied with this subordinate, it will be a strange thing. As soon as the words of approval in the letter were finished, he immediately talked about private matters, saying that a Fujian businessman Zheng would come to Lingshan in the near future and wanted to ask Yu Feng to take time to meet and discuss some Fujian native products, which could be regarded as selling salt to make a face.

Fujian businessman, Zheng, Fujian native products. It seems to be an inexplicable deal, but Yu Feng understands. This is the last time the Zheng family hated themselves, afraid that they would hold a grudge, so they deliberately went around such a circle, in the final analysis, I am afraid that the Zheng family is so efficient to send people, or for the sake of this private port and salt goods, but I don't know which of these two things is more important in the minds of the Zheng family.

After receiving this letter, Yu Feng summoned Xu Chang, the steward of the Qianheng signal, again, and for this behemoth that he only knew about in history, it was necessary for him to know as much as possible about the other party's situation. Of course, he was also very humble about the reply from the salt envoy, and he politely told the other party that he was just trying to do some small business here, and he thanked the salt envoy for giving him a way to contact him, and he could meet at any time.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, the shopkeeper Zheng of the Sihai Commercial Bank asked to see the Lingshan Inspection Division Yu for inspection, and on this day, it was less than 20 days before the Japanese invaded Zhaojia Village.

Although this shopkeeper Zheng is wearing silk and satin, he still looks like he is working hard at sea, he is very dark and strong, and his attitude towards people is very humble. First of all, he honestly sent the letter of introduction of the salt transport envoy to the inspection house, and after getting Yu Feng's consent from the inspection yamen, he agreed on the time of the visit, of course, this visit did not come empty-handed.

Zheng shopkeeper is in Fujian, the climate is warm and humid, presumably after crossing the Yangtze River, I feel cold and unbearable, wrapped tightly up and down, for fear that there is a little leakage. Yu Feng couldn't help but be a little sunburned when he saw his appearance, although the winter of this Xiaoice River period was colder than the winter he had experienced, but it was not so cold that it could be so cold, it can be seen that this Zheng Shopkeeper is usually used to being respected.

Seeing Yu Feng, the shopkeeper Zheng walked a few steps forward without hesitation, ready to kneel on the ground to greet him.

Being able to be sent by Zheng Zhilong as a representative, presumably the identity is also unusual, Yu Feng didn't want to give the other party an arrogant feeling in these subsections, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "The weather in Shandong is cold, and the shopkeeper Zheng must be very unaccustomed to it here." ”

This Zheng family, according to Xuchang's narrative, and Yu Feng do not have any inextricable festivals, but driven by some interests, they walked together with the Huai'an Fang family, according to a great man in later generations, it still belongs to the object that can be united, before making an attempt, Yu Feng does not want to completely push this force that may become his own resources to his opposite.

The two sides casually politely said a few words, and entered the living room together, as soon as they entered the room, as soon as the shopkeeper Zheng sat down, he solemnly apologized to Yu Feng: "It's all the bastards below, they can't see money in their eyes, and they offended the adult's tiger power by making their own claims. ”

Zheng Zhilong was not mentioned in the words, and Zheng Zhilong was removed from this matter with his own opinion, I have to say that this Zheng shopkeeper is really a bit level. However, Yu Feng knew it, and the other party also knew that he knew in his heart that talking like this was just a step for both parties.

"I also said where did the pirates come from, they actually dared to pretend to be Lord Zheng's subordinates, since it was a misunderstanding, then don't mention it!" Yu Feng smiled and picked up the tea bowl, as if the sabotage that these people had come to wreak havoc with the would-be had not happened at all.

After explaining these, logically speaking, this is the main topic, Yu Feng drank tea slowly and methodically, and did not urge the other party, the other party is a trustee and a gift, not just to say such a few words of apology.

"I heard that adults have a lot of salt pans by the sea?" Sure enough, Shopkeeper Zheng explained these things and said the right thing with a smile on his face.

This salt cargo is more important than a private port. Yu Feng quickly judged that for the Zheng family, it is not so urgent to have such a private port in the north that can be docked, but this salt must be eaten every day, and the importance should be ranked first.

Whether Zheng Zhilong became a coastal defense guerrilla before or after being recruited, the Zheng family's fleet was the largest force in the Asian seas. All ships passing through the waters under their control had to pay a fee to the Zheng family, which was tantamount to a tax. The Zheng family's merchant fleet runs through the north and south of China and abroad, doing business everywhere, and it is really rich and rivals the country.

For a long time, except for a small amount of local production, Fujian has eaten salt from other places, and the vast majority of it is Huai salt produced near Haizhou. The Huai merchants were powerful, and the salt road to Fujian, whether by land or sea, was under their control, and the price could not be reduced. Even the Fang family, the first intersection with the Zheng family, is also on this salt goods, and now they can dig out a new source from the salt road that is monopolized by others, no wonder they attach so much importance to it.

"Some small industries, just give the female relatives of the family to get a few fat powder money, and they can't be on the table, and they can't be on the table!" Yu Feng said modestly.

"It's not small, all of this Ludong are salt goods from the adult salt field!" Shopkeeper Zheng was not deceived by Yu Feng, presumably he had already done his homework before coming: "My lord's salt field, I'm afraid it has a lot more output than this government-run salt farm!" ”

"Shopkeeper Zheng didn't mean to take care of the trumpet's business!" Yu Fengle is happy, the other party has a clear face, it is useless to hide it, but since the other party is talking about business, then you might as well talk about it, it is good to be able to negotiate, but if you can't negotiate, you don't have anything to lose, anyway, the strength of the Zheng family is on the sea, and your own strength is on land, there is no intersection between the two sides at all, it's a big deal in terms of Yantian, take precautions tightly, how can the other party be. I suffered such a loss last time, how could I heal the scar and forget the pain?
