"It turns out that the purpose is here, the surname Yao is going to do something to us, can we refuse the other party to send someone over?" Su Ming asked.

"He can tell me this today, how can he give us a reason to refuse. However, if he dares to send someone to our Erweibao, we will kill all the people he sent halfway, and as long as we die and don't admit it, what can he do with us!" Su Ren said.

Killing new officials halfway is normal in this era, and if you don't have the strength to take something you shouldn't take, this is looking for death, and don't blame others if you die.

"Is it possible to buy the people sent by Yao Qianhu?" Su Ming asked.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, if we let them enter Erweibao, it will be impossible for us to get rid of them again, the surname Yao's appetite is much bigger than we imagined, he must know about our deal in Bihaiwan." Su Ren said.

"If we kill the people sent by Yao Qianhu, it is tantamount to turning against him directly, if we let his people come over, and then find a way to let them join, we now have a way to make cement, and there is a salt field that produces 20 stone of snowflake salt every day, as long as smart people know that we have much greater potential than that Yao Qianhu.

In addition, there is also the training of our soldiers, Yao Qianhu must not have as many elites in his hands as us, let's wait for someone to come, let them see all this, at least half of them may bring people over.

If anyone refuses to take refuge, then continue to be entertained with good wine and meat in the fort until he agrees. Su Ming said.

Su Ren glanced at Su Ming, he didn't expect his younger brother to be so bold. In this era, the poor who are not for a bite to eat, in addition to the official position, he can definitely give more than Yao Qianhu, even if someone leaks the secret of Erweibao, so what!

Will the Jinshan Guard send an army to rob things? Or the imperial court directly sent troops? These possibilities are not great, if Yao Qianhu feels that he is not capable of taking the second Weibao, he will definitely find a partner to carve up the second Weibao, and his partner will definitely not reach the level of the commander, so what are he afraid of.

"Then do as you say, and when the time comes, I will leave the task of entertaining them to you, and I will give you a hundred taels of gold later, if we can really win them over, it will mean a lot to us." Su Ren thought for a while and said.

"After the completion of the No. 5 new salt field of the salt plant, only the northern salt field was transformed into the No. 6 salt field. In order for our secrets not to be known too much by Qiyan Castle, this No. 6 salt field is still to be renovated later.

The salt works have not been attacked by pirates recently, and the strike has been rehearsed twice this month, so I will stay in the fort next month and let the thirteenth brother go to the salt fort to watch. Su Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, you patrol the Salt Fort Guards in different areas, it's impossible for this pirate to land quietly, tomorrow I'll go to the town to deliver this month's green salt, and take your fifth brother and Tiezhu to trade with the wind chimes.

The city wall is now half completed, and it will be fully completed by October at the latest, as long as it can be delayed for four months, even if his surname Yao reports to the commander, the commander will not dare to touch us easily. Su Ren said with determination.

"By the way, big brother, there is news about the Li family in the town, they can't hide such a big loss." Su Ming deliberately let go of more than a dozen people, hoping that the Li family could do something, so that the goal of Erweibao could be smaller.

The Li family didn't make much noise this time, but the town privately said that the Li family had offended the big man, and the three young masters and one big housekeeper of the Li family's caravan were all killed by Huotong.

The Li family's stronghold outside Jinshanwei Town has retreated, and they may be secretly looking for the murderer who attacked the caravan, as long as we don't make a big deal, no one will think of us. Su Ren said in a low voice.

On May 30, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Su Ming wore a fine cloth coat and rode a horse to the salt field with the fifth brother and Tie Zhu. This dress was sewn for him by his sister-in-law, Su Ming originally hoped that his sister-in-law could make a short-sleeved dress for herself, but her sister-in-law told him where to make short-sleeved fine cloth, and it would be embarrassing to wear it.

The eldest sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law are now wearing fine cloth clothes, which also shows that their family's living conditions are getting better and better. Su Ming originally planned to have someone open a ready-to-wear store in Erweibao, and he changed a lot of cloth last time.

The eldest brother refused on the spot, no family in Erweibao can afford ready-to-wear clothes, and now most of the people in the fort have begun to wear coarse cloth and linen, and if the ready-to-wear store sells coarse cloth clothes and can't make a few dollars, everyone is actually still struggling with food and clothing.

After staying in the salt factory for a noon and having dinner in the afternoon, Su Ming weighed ten stones of the snowflake salt he had boiled today and put it on the carriage, and together with the fifth brother and Tie Zhu, he took a team of guards, more than ten carriages, and more than 30 young men and women left the salt fort and went north.

When they arrived at the northern Yantian, Su Ming had 5 soldiers from the Yanbao Fort wandering around their Yantian area, and a team of guards from the Yanbao kept an eye on them from afar, and the five people saw Su Qingping coming over and left the Erweibao Yantian to watch them on the side path.

"The people of Zha Yan Fort are causing trouble again?" Su Qingping stared at the five people and asked the captain of the escort team.

"I come here often, and today I have walked near our salt fort, and I have been keeping an eye on them, and they have not dared to make trouble." The captain of the second team who spoke was a veteran soldier from before, and he also gritted his teeth when he looked at the five soldiers in Qiyan Fort.

"The days of Erweibao being bullied have passed, if they go to our Erweibao territory, call me directly, if Wang Xianxiang dares to send someone to support, Su will inform my eldest brother. Try not to kill people. Su Ming said.

"Got it, Eighth Master!" When the second captain heard Su Ming say this, he rolled up his sleeves and led his team members to rush towards the five soldiers of Zha Yan Fort, and soon the five Zha Yan Forts were beaten and let out a miserable scream.

When Su Qingping and the team members who transported the snowflake salt saw this, they also wanted to rush up and beat the soldiers of Zha Yanbao, but they were stopped by Su Ming.

Since Yao Qianhu had already planned to send someone to Erwei Castle, what else did they have to forbear. Erweibao's strength is many times stronger than in two months, how can he still endure it now.

Coming to Bishui Bay, there was still more than an hour before the time of dark trading, everyone waited quietly in the bamboo forest, and waited until a team of 7 ships came from the north.

Su Ming stepped forward quietly, and when the fleet landed, he greeted him.

"Brother Su!" Zeng Guosun saw Su Ming shouting loudly.

"Brother Zeng, why are you here in person?" Su Ming came to Zeng Guosun's boat and asked loudly.

"This is the first time that Fengchidu has traded with Brother Su, so I can't rest assured that I won't come in person." Zeng Guosun said to let the boat dock, and he walked down from the boat.

Su Ming saw that Zeng Guosun's people had already begun to move things from the boat, he shouted to the bamboo forest behind him, and the fifth brother also came out with the people of Erweibao.

"Brother Su, there have been more and more snowflake salts on the market recently, and the profits of this snowflake salt are getting less and less. Last time you finished talking about food and weapons, I bought 150 stone of grain from Suzhou, and 32 weapons, how about you take a look? Zeng Guosun pulled Su Ming to check the goods traded today.

"Very good, in the future, if there is food and weapons, we will send as much as possible, how much we want, how much are these things, today I brought 10 stone snowflake salt, and we will deduct it from the snowflake salt later." Su Ming said.

"I will give this grain and weapons to Brother Su at the market price, a total of 82 taels of silver, and I don't want a fraction." Zeng Guosun said generously.

The 150 stone grain was only 10 taels of silver at most, but the price of the weapon was very expensive, although Zeng Guosun only brought ordinary broadswords and iron spear heads.

"Then thank you Brother Zeng. Recently, there are indeed more and more snowflake salt in the market, and we are no longer suitable for 800 pounds of snowflake salt last month, so that in the future, a stone of snowflake salt will be 100 taels of silver, what do you think? Su Ming said.

A stone of snowflake salt is 100 taels of silver, and a pound is only more than 600 yuan, which is only a little higher than the price of green salt on the market.

"Brother Su is really a person who does big things, and I'm worried that this snowflake salt business won't be able to continue in the future. Brother, don't worry, I will send more than 200 stone of grain every month in the future.

Brother, what can I Zeng Guosun help with, I plan to ask for 15 stone of snowflake salt next month, I don't know if Brother Su can do it here? Zeng Guosun heard that Su Ming's snowflake salt had been reduced and asked happily.

Su Ming sighed after hearing this, I have given you this price, you can still only ask for 15 stones, I have already saved more than 200 stones in this house, where do you let me sell it?

This Zeng Guosun is just a powerful water bandit leader in the Huangpu River, it seems that Erweibao can't put the hope of trading snowflake salt on him, and he has to find a new buyer!

"Of course there is no problem, this is this month's ten stone snowflake salt, Brother Zeng, you check it first, our goods will be clear in person and will not hurt the peace." Su Ming said.

"Yes, counting the goods in person does not hurt peace." Zeng Guosun nodded when he heard this.

There is no problem with snowflake salt, the price is according to what Su Ming said, a total of 1,000 taels of silver are packed in a wooden box, Su Ming opened it and saw that there were some gold in it about more than forty taels, and there were silver ingots between twenty taels and one tael, and some broken silver was about dozens of taels, which showed that Zeng Guosun had taken out this thousand taels of silver very reluctantly.

If Su Ming didn't reduce the price of Xuehua Salt this time, it would be the same as last time, maybe Zeng Guosun would have to make up half a boat of copper coins for him.

Zeng Guosun saw Su Ming counting the silver in the box, he was also a little embarrassed, he used to do some small business of transportation, and it was already good to have a few dozen taels of silver a month, and the last time the 1,200 taels of silver was all the family funds of Fengjingdu, this time his snowflake salt was not completely sold, and it took a lot of effort to scrape together enough 1200 taels of silver to trade.

Su Ming's guess was not wrong, Zeng Guosun's last boat was full of copper coins, more than 100 pounds, more than 500 catties, that is to take out all the money that Feng Chi Du can make.

After stabilizing Su Ming's path, Zeng Guosun could use Snow Salt to accumulate wealth while expanding his contacts and accumulating strength. This time, Su Ming took the initiative to reduce the price of snowflake salt, which made him more determined in the future.
