Looking at the aggressive Zha Yan Fort, Su Ming couldn't help frowning when he thought of the contradiction between the two forts.

Fortunately, the number of people in Zha Yanbao was not dominant, they did not dare to take the lead in drawing their swords, everyone just bumped into each other with their bodies, and soon the people of Zha Yanbao couldn't parry, and left after putting down the cruel words.

In the evening, Su Ming returned to Erwei Castle, and the eldest brother had also returned from Jinshanwei Town, and when he saw Su Ming, he told him that the Li family refused to make any more deals with them.

"The Li family has cooperated with us for so many years, it stands to reason that they can't refuse our green salt, he doesn't accept salt, we can also sell this green salt to others, and the loss is still themselves. Could it be that because of the Shen family, they want to never trade with my Erweibao? When Su Qingping heard his eldest brother say this, he couldn't help frowning and analyzed.

"The Shen family is a reason, I think this matter should also have something to do with Lord Qianhu." Su Ren frowned and said.

"If you don't trade, you won't trade, anyway, we don't lack food now, and we can buy anything in Jinshanwei if we have money. Now that the new Yantian has begun to be put into production, we will have more and more silver in the future, and it is not uncommon for the Li family not to trade! Su Zhe said angrily.

"It's not that simple... Now we have to spend it first! Today, Lord Qianhu told me about piracy, and the imperial court was very dissatisfied with this, and the imperial court was afraid that it would have to spend great efforts to catch the smuggling along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River! Su Ren said.

"The imperial court wants to catch smuggling? Where is it so easy, what year has the imperial court not caught it for so many years, but what? There are more and more smuggling, and the key problem is that the imperial court treats us ordinary people as human beings, and we hand over 30 stone of green salt every month, and the imperial court sells it for five or six hundred taels, and we are unwilling to give out one hundred taels of military salaries and equipment. Su Qingping said.

"Fifth brother, don't say this again in the future, we are soldiers raised by Your Majesty, and we should work for Your Majesty. If there is no way in the future, we will buy food from the sea like last time, and we will not starve ourselves to death! Su Ren said.

Su Ming just listened, he knew that the reason why Erweibao was so difficult was because they were just pawns in the hands of those forces, and whether they could survive or not was all in the minds of others. At this moment, Su Ming was extremely eager to lead Erweibao out of the predicament, and he knew that in order to get out of the control of others, he must first learn to work hard.

The four brothers talked about the salt pan for a while, and finally talked about the difficult matter of the Zha Yan Fort. They have no way to make trouble in Zha Yan Castle, if they really clash loudly with Zha Yan Castle, the Thousand Households will definitely not stand on their side, and in the end it is they who will lose.

Therefore, Erweibao has no other way to go except forbearance, and Su Ren can only follow the path of other officials in Jinshanwei as much as possible, hoping to find a big man who protects Erweibao, but where will it be so easy.

In the early morning of April 14, Su Ming came to the salt factory after practicing and eating lunch, and Xu Lao happily told him that he had boiled six stones of green salt from the No. 1 new salt field yesterday, and it was expected that the brine of the new salt field would be taken out tomorrow morning, and Su Ming was very happy to hear it.

In less than a day, he produced six stones of green salt, which is more than six times the output of the previous one, and if his new salt pan can fully meet the needs of the salt plant, then the salt production field can maintain this salt production rate for a long time.

It is expected that the construction of the new salt field on No. 2 will be completed at noon the day after tomorrow, and the salt pan will be able to produce salt at the end of this month.

Su Ming personally led people to dig a canal between the old salt pan and the new No. 2 salt pan. If the slope of the canal connecting the two salt pans is not enough or uneven, it will have a great impact on the future storage of the salt pans. The lack of sealing of the gate valves between the canals will also affect the salinity of the salt water in the salt pan, so it is not allowed to be sloppy.

As soon as he commanded a team of workers to finish the leveling of a canal with cement, Su Ming saw a soldier running back from the north, and soon the thirteenth brother took a large group to the north Yantian, Su Ming knew that it must be the people from Qiyan Fort who came to make trouble again.

The pace of Zha Yanbao squeezing Erweibao will not stop, unless the attitude of the surname Yao turns to Erweibao, or the strength of Erweibao exceeds that of Zha Yanbao by a large margin, otherwise the grievances between the two forts cannot be eliminated.

Su Ming didn't plan to look at it in the past, now the key is to improve the strength of Erweibao, and it is useless for him to go.

But after a quarter of an hour or so, Su Ming saw Tie Zhu hurriedly running from the direction of Yantian in the north, he came to the gate of the village and shouted, and a herald in the courtyard rode on his horse and quickly headed towards Erweibao.

Su Ming realized that the problem was not simple, and he came to Tie Zhu's side to inquire about the situation in the northern salt fields.

"Eighth master, this time the Zha Yan Fort is really moving, the banner advocate of the Zha Yan Fort has brought three small flags, and more than 40 soldiers have surrounded the Thirteenth Master with weapons, and the uncle must be notified!" Tie Zhu said to Su Ming with an anxious expression.

Su Ming was worried about Su Zhe's safety, so he entered the courtyard and rode a war horse and quickly ran north. When he arrived at the northern salt field, he saw more than 40 people from Qiyan Fort surrounding Su Zhe with more than 20 people in the middle, but fortunately, neither side showed their weapons.

Although Su Zhe and the others were surrounded and slammed back and forth with their bodies, no one on the Erweibao side fell to the ground, and Su Ming saw that everyone was not in danger for the time being, so he dismounted and watched from the sidelines. Try not to use a pistol as much as possible, as long as the two sides don't really start fighting, he won't do it.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Erweibao side was greatly defeated, but the conflict had not yet reached the point of being uncontrollable, and at this time, Su Ming saw the fifth brother Su Qingping and the six of them arrive on horseback.

Su Qingping passed by Su Ming's side, and was also relieved to see that the conflict between the two sides had not completely broken out, he glanced at Su Ming and was about to step forward, but saw Su Ming speak.

"Fifth brother, try not to have a conflict, if the conflict is inevitable, then drag them down, I won't let them go back." Su Ming said coldly.

"Eighth brother, don't be impulsive, if someone dies, the surname Yao will definitely not let us go, don't come here, everything has me." Su Qingping said.

Watching the fifth brother ride forward, Su Ming was ready to leave everyone on the other side behind. If you want to do it, you have to do the other party's muscles and bones, and kill half of the soldiers of Zha Yanbao, he sees how Zha Yanbao responds, it's a big deal to fall out with the surname Yao, as long as he doesn't let Zha Yanbao directly catch the evidence that Erweibao killed their soldiers, the surname Yao can't do anything to Erweibao.

That Zhang Biao, Su Mingke is very clear, when he was young, Zhang Biao was a hundred households in Qiyanbao, Wang Xianxiang's most powerful subordinate, it is rumored that he once killed 8 pirates in a battle, and he is a famous fierce general in the salt factory, Wang Xianxiang can send him to see that he has made up his mind to drive his family away from the salt factory.

When Su Qingping arrived, the soldiers of Qiyanbao suddenly quieted down, they made way for Su Qingping, and Su Qingping rode to Zhang Biao and dismounted.

"Why are you kid, your big brother? I'm walking here in a good way, and that kid bumps into me, what do you think should be done? Zhang Biao looked at Su Qingping who got off the horse proudly.

"Master Zhang Qi walked to our Erweibao Salt Field, and brought so many people, what should I do, I'm afraid we didn't say it! Zhang Qizhu thinks that it is reasonable to deal with this matter. Su Qingping said ruyi, although he is not afraid of Zhang Biao's force, but the opponent's rank is higher than his own, and many times he can only passively defend.

"I, Zhang Biao, don't have to ignore the master, let that kid... And he knelt down and kowtowed to me to apologize! Zhang Biao pointed to a guard, and then pointed at Su Zhe and said.

Su Zhe was about to rush forward when he heard this, but was stopped by Su Qingping.

"This is my thirteenth brother, Master Zhang Qi won't know, you let my brother kowtow to you to apologize, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it!" Su Qingping stared at Zhang Biao and said.

"Then how do you say this breath? Why don't you let us beat them both? Zhang Biao said.

"They offended you, the owner of Zhang Qi, and it is not unreasonable for Zhang Qi to educate young people. However, the people of Qiyanbao have been making trouble in my Yantian recently, and the flag master has known about it? "Su Qingping's momentum is not weak at all, others have bullied him, take a step back, how can he Su Zhe live after Erweibao, and after Erweibao sees Qiyanbao, he will have to bow down to the other party.

"I accidentally threw a few stones at your salt field, what Lord Su Qi said is a bit serious! Although this place belongs to the boundary of Erweibao, we always have the right to walk here normally! ”

Zhang Biao also knew that he was standing on the verge of the conflict between the two forts, and he saw that after such a while, a group of more than 30 soldiers in the distance was walking in a line, followed by dozens of young men from Erweibao, and today Erweibao seemed to be ready to completely resolve the conflict with them.

"What Zhang Qi Master said is right, my brother collided with Zhang Qi Master you, what is there to do Su Qingping, how do you solve it, I will accompany you!" Su Qingping's words were very calm, but everyone felt his anger.

At this point, Zhang Biao didn't know how to continue. Let people go to the castle to call people? Then today's next big battle may be inevitable, seeing that the other party has newly arrived in that team, and the equipment and weapons seem to be much better than what Zhanyenburg expected, Erweibao has not fallen to the extent they thought, if the people from Zhanyenburg are not called over and do not achieve the big victory he imagined, then this time the provocation will be regarded as a failure.

If this operation fails, Wang Xianxiang must give Erweibao or Lord Qianhu an explanation, Zhang Biao felt that this person was likely to be himself, so at this moment he hesitated.

Su Qingping didn't speak, just looked at each other quietly, and when the reinforcements from Erweibao arrived, Zhang Biao still didn't move, and the two sides confronted each other for more than ten breaths, and Su Qingping spoke at this time.

"Get out of the way for the flag master and let him go!" Su Qingping's meaning is already obvious, make way for you Today's matter is over, if you don't leave, then go straight to work, fight to the death.

The soldiers of Erweibao and Qingzhuang got out of the way, and Zhang Biao seemed to be still engaged in ideological struggle. Su Ming saw that his hand was already on the hilt of his left crotch, and everyone in Erweibao was also ready for battle, and Zhang Biao finally gave the order when he saw this.

"Let's go, today is lucky for the two of you, don't fall into my hands in the future." After Zhang Biao finished talking to Su Zhe, he completely ignored the others in Erweibao and turned his head to leave.
