"This big brother, we have a little salt to shoot, I don't know where to go?" Su Ming came to the team member and took out a string of money and handed it to the other party.

The man looked like he should be the small leader of the fleet, and when he saw the money handed over by Su Ming, he shook his hand and didn't accept it.

"Sell salt to the No. 1 land, you just go north to the end, from north to south are salt, cloth, grain, livestock, ironware, ceramics, herbs and furs, groceries eight areas, you can sell salt directly to the northernmost area." The man pointed out to Su Ming.

The other party didn't collect money, which made Su Ming very surprised, and they all said that Wang Zhi was very credible, and all big and small forces were colleagues, which also showed that his strength was very strong, and Su Ming admired Wang Zhi a little when he saw this.

Su Ming and the fifth brother came to the northernmost part all the way, and saw that the caravans were lining up and talking to a person who looked like a master, Su Ming lined up patiently, and after the master finished talking to one person, a caravan went to a ship with its own goods.

I didn't find it yesterday, but today Su Ming found that there are really a lot of people selling salt here, and most of these people in charge are very tall, and the weapons on their waists are obviously only available to officers.

The master just told everyone to get on the boat as much as they traded any salt, and the people in front of them walked faster and faster, and suddenly a team caught Su Ming's attention.

A team less than ten zhang away from him, although the leader covered his face with a black cloth, Su Ming still recognized him at a glance as the banner master under Yao Qianhu.

Generally, there are 3 to 5 100 household chiefs under the command of a thousand households, and then they lead a banner master alone, and there will be more than 50 soldiers in the descendant lineage, and these people are generally the most elite.

The last time this flag owner Su Ming saw him, he only knew that his surname was Chen, and the eldest brother should be very familiar with him. He led more than 30 soldiers to drive eight wagons, which were full of cloth bags containing salt, and Su Ming probably estimated that the salt weighed hundreds of stones.

An idea suddenly rose from Su Ming's mind, if he robbed them later, Yao Qianhu's strength would inevitably be greatly reduced, and he would be able to obtain a large amount of silver, not to mention, would the pressure on Erweibao be less?

Thinking of this, Su Ming shook his head, if the surnamed Yao folded these soldiers here, without this year's smuggling income, he would probably jump over the wall in a hurry and take away the salt factory in Erweibao.

At that time, the problem may become a matter of officialdom, Su Ming knows nothing about officialdom, although he is not afraid of the attack of ordinary forces, but Erweibao will inevitably fall into a great passivity.

Breaking the idea of snatching Yao Qianhu, Su Ming waited for Lord Chen Qi to leave, and he soon came to the master.

"What salt? How much is there? "The master doesn't speak quickly, which makes people sound very gentle.

"Snowflake salt, less than forty stones." Su Ming said.

"Go to the fourth ship, the biggest." The master stared at Su Ming for a long time, and only turned his head after watching him lead the soldiers away.

Su Ming took the fifth brother and others to pull the salt down the big boat with a horse-drawn cart, and saw that there was a very long wooden plank on the big boat that stretched all the way to the shore, so he asked the fifth brother to unload the salt from the carriage, and planned to use a flat pole to carry the salt onto the boat. And he got on the boat first, led by a young man.

On the boat, there was a sunspot man in his forties sitting on a Taishi chair, seeing that the clothes the man was wearing were all fine brocade, thinking that his status would not be low, the other party never spoke, and Su Ming was also waiting on the side after getting on the boat, watching the fifth brother and others pick the salt onto the boat.

A team of more than ten people came over, opened the salt bag and carefully checked the quality of the salt, and waited until the fifth brother brought people to carry all the salt, and they also quickly finished checking the salt, and an inspector whispered something in the ear of the man in brocade, and then Su Ming saw the other side walking towards him.

"The little brother is very young, and the quality of this salt is not much, but the snowflake salt is no better than other things, and the Ming Dynasty is only used by the royal family and the great nobles.

In the past, the market price was speculated to 2 taels of silver per catty, but this price is false, and this year we have also received some snowflake salt, and your amount is the largest.

In the past, the purchase price of snowflake salt was one or two 200 wen, but now there are so many goods... How about pressing 1 tael of silver? Otherwise, this deal is not a good deal! The sunspot man said it clearly, Su Ming didn't know anything about children, and knew that what he said was the truth.

Su Ming was already very satisfied that a pound could be sold for 1 tael of silver, and he bothered to go to Hangzhou City to sell it for only 900 yuan, and this time so much salt could be bought for a tael of silver for a catty, which was a huge amount.

"Okay, just at this price, please go through the scales!" Su Ming knew that he didn't have anything to do with these people, and now that they were able to negotiate the price with him in order to trade, maybe in a few days, the other party would become a pirate and kill our second Weibao.

All the snowflake salt weighed, a total of 38 stones and 121 catties, the man in brocade checked the numbers with Su Ming, went upstairs for a quarter of an hour and came down with a red wooden box.

"A total of 5,821 taels of silver, here are 500 taels of gold, 821 taels of silver, look at it." The man in brocade opened the box, and Su Ming saw rows of gold and silver ingots inside.

The gold ingots are all 10 taels, and the largest silver ingots are 50 taels, and the weight is printed on them, and the fineness looks very good.

500 taels of gold weighs about 16 kilograms, 821 taels of silver have about 27 kilograms, if the other party gives all the silver, it will have to be packed in several large boxes, Su Ming knows that many big commodity trades are gold, and the other party counts 10 taels of silver for himself with one tael of gold, which should be his own advantage.

The imperial court stipulates that 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver, but most of the gold is only circulated in the nobility and large-scale trade, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see, and a lot of gold in the black market has been speculated to 14 taels of silver for 1 tael of gold.

Although Su Ming was only a hundred households, through the Ming Dynasty in his mind, he could already feel the court's jealousy of Wang Zhi and these people.

Farming is not doing much now is not a matter of digging the corners of the Ming Dynasty, he handed over such wealth to the people, so that the people and the coastal families clearly understand the exploitation of the people by the Ming Dynasty, no wonder there are so many pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the voice of opposition to the imperial court has not been suppressed.

Such a maritime merchant has threatened the rule of the Ming Zhu family, and now Wang Zhi is not only making money, but also the hearts of the people. How could the Zhu family let them go?

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Ming was attracted by a burst of sound, which was the sound of the template of the coast guard ship of his consciousness.

"Is silver absorbed? Is gold found absorbed? Hint: One tael of gold can be exchanged for 12.5 taels of silver. ”

"No!" Su Ming directly refused, he absorbed it back but couldn't explain it to the eldest brother, the transaction had been completed, Su Ming got off the boat with the fifth brother and other soldiers holding the wooden box.

Su Qingping surrounded Su Ming in the middle, carefully looking at everyone around him, Su Ming saw that after he and the others got off the boat, the waiting group of people got on the boat he had just gotten on, and many people around him were staring at the wooden box in his arms, Su Ming knew that he had to leave here quickly.

"Fifth brother, the box is a little heavy, you should hold it!" Su Ming stopped and said to the fifth brother.

Give the box to the fifth brother, if someone dares to make a move on them, Su Ming can take out the rifle and give them a shuttle directly.

Su Qingping took the box and walked quickly, and soon they walked out of the Bishuiwan area and into the southern bamboo forest.

In the bamboo forest, Su Ming saw that there were still many people waiting here, and he didn't know what they were waiting for, and the goods came here and the team didn't just come to trade.

"Fifth master, eighth master, someone is following us." One of the soldiers noticed that several figures had been following them behind him, and he couldn't help but remind.

"You go first, I'll clean them up." Su Ming was about to stop as he spoke, he wanted to give these people a little color.

"Eighth brother, let's meet with the eldest brother first! Big brother has already made a defense in the hidden spot, how can you leave alone, what if we encounter danger on the road again? Su Qingping knew that Su Ming had a gun, but he didn't want him to stay alone.

Su Ming thought that there might also be danger on the way for the fifth brother and the eldest brother to converge, so he also decided to let go of the guys behind him, and it was better to join the eldest brother first.

Following the fifth brother through the bamboo forest, Su Ming couldn't tell the direction, under the moonlight, he could only feel the bamboo leaves in front of him moving, and he didn't dare to stop walking quickly, and soon they found that there was a clearing in front of him, and the eldest brother took several soldiers to hide behind a big stone, and when he saw that they were back, he walked out.

"Fifth brother, what about the eighth brother?" Su Ren saw Su Qingping holding a wooden box, and didn't find Su Ming's figure and hurriedly asked.

"In the back!"

"Big brother, I'm here." Su Ming stepped forward and saw several figures following them behind him also stopped.

"It's good to come back, then hide here, wait for everyone to leave us before going out, tomorrow morning the castle will send someone to meet us, these carriages are all placed here, let's just wait here in peace." Su Ren said.

"Big brother, someone followed us just now, and they shouldn't have left yet, do you want me to bring someone to arrest them back." Su Qingping handed the box to Su Ming, and led people to chase after the person who was tracking them just now.

"Don't act rashly yet, now that the fleet hasn't left, the trouble will be cleaned up, let's wait and see!" Su Ren stared into the distance and said.

The crowd came to a pile of rubble, where they had exchanged all the goods, food and cloth and other things were placed on the ground, and the soldiers rested on the pile of goods.

Su Ren had people build a circle with stones, which were about three feet high, and could be used as an effective defense if they were attacked by enemy archers.

Su Ming checked the situation here, handed the box to the eldest brother, and called the thirteenth brother not far away, who was about to leave the stone pile.

"Eighth brother, where are you going?" Su Ren saw that Su Ming wanted to leave, and couldn't help asking.

"My eighteenth brother and I will take a look at the surrounding terrain first, and if someone attacks us later, we can organize a defense." Su Ming said.

Su Ren knew that his younger brother had a gun, so he couldn't stop him, so he looked up at the people around him: "Let your fifth brother follow you!" Don't be impulsive! ”

"I see!" Su Ming walked out of the stone pile as he spoke, he took the fifth brother and the thirteenth brother around in a circle, and saw that in addition to the west path, there should be a small road left in the south to walk, so he knew it in his heart.

Coming to the big rock that he had just passed, Su Ming saw that it was only about 200 meters from here to their hiding point, and if someone wanted to attack them, it was very likely that they would have to pass through here, so he decided to establish a sniper location here.
