Otherwise, it's this salt.

After all, the salt tax collected by the imperial court last year was much less than the actual amount of salt.

There are only two reasons for this problem: first, some people are greedy for salt taxes, and second, there is too much private salt.

And according to his estimates, the first reason accounts for the largest proportion.

Now what he is distressed about is that he doesn't know if Lao Zhu has noticed this.

If he hadn't noticed, he wouldn't have to warn him.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.

But if this situation gets more and more serious, Lao Zhu will be more and more short of money, and then he will be asked to fill this hole.

So it has something to do with him.

It doesn't seem appropriate to tell Lao Zhu directly.

Lao Zhu wants to know that he is quietly counting this, will he suspect that he has any intentions.

Well, it's better to find a good opportunity.

After reading the data, he looked up and found that Zhu Hu was gone.

I don't think that when I stop now, my ass hurts.

He stood up and went down to move. Then I found that the backyard was quiet, and there was no one.

Hey, where have all these people gone?

Why didn't I even see it?

Zhu Bai pushed open the small door, and then saw that Zhu Hu was surrounded by a bunch of merchants selling and buying medicine.

The merchant said, "My lord, you can help me take a look." The price of this Huaishan film is a bit too cheap. I'm the best Huaishan in Henan, ranking among the four major Huai Pills, which is different from their Huaishan tablets near Yingtian. That grinding powder can only be used as a snack, and this is a serious medicinal herb. ”

Zhu Hu sniffed: "It's your price that is indeed too low, and it should be set at forty Wen." ”

The merchant said, "My dried wolfberries have been transported all the way back from the northwest, and all the other places are ruddy, so how can I set it at forty-five wen a catty." ”

Zhu Hu picked one and tasted it and said, "Yes, only the wolfberries in the northwest are so big and sweet." And you are very dry, so a pound is very real, the price is a little low, it should be set at 100 yuan a pound. ”

The merchant said, "My lord, the pearl he sells is said to be sea pearls." I always think it's freshwater beads, please help me palm my eyes. ”

Zhu Hu took it, took a closer look and said: "This is a freshwater bead, although the particles are large and full, pure and shiny, but much softer than the seawater beads." This price is to be cut in half and repriced. ”

The seller was not happy when he heard it: "How are you talking nonsense as a broker." I think you're new here, and you don't know the goods. ”

Zhu Hu was not annoyed, but said: "This is the freshwater bead." ”

Then I went and changed the strip on the board.

The seller can't help it, and after all, he is weak-hearted, and he muttered to change the price.

As a result, the sellers and buyers of medicinal materials all came to Zhu Hu's side.

There is only one that does not come.

Zhu Hu ran to the man: "What are you selling?" ”

The man whispered, "Codonopsis." ”

Zhu Hu said: "I'll take a look." ”

The man said, "The broker has already set the price, so don't bother the uncle." ”

Zhu Hu said: "It's priced, I can also take a look." ”

The man could only hand him the party ginseng in his hand.

Zhu Hu looked at it and said, "Don't sell your party ginseng, it can't cure the disease and harm people." ”

The man was annoyed: "Hugh wants to talk nonsense, my codonopsis is the best tattooed codonopsis, how can such a big one hurt people?" ”

Zhu Hu said: "It was originally a good codonopsis, but it was oily, sweet, soft and moist, easy to deteriorate from oil, and once it was oiled, it could not be used." ”

Surrounded by him, the man became angry: "Those who have gone out of oil will be sticky and black." I'm so bright, how could I be out of oil?! ”

Zhu Hu said unhurriedly: "You should have that last year's Codonopsis was not sold out, and the oil ran out after the summer." This year, it was smoked with sulfur water and then sold again, with a sulfur smell. Recently, the weather is damp and not sunny, and you are in a hurry to shoot, so it is a little wetter than others. ”

The man was about to reach out to grab Zhu Hu, but he caught a glimpse of Zhu Bai not knowing when he came, so he hurriedly retracted his hand.

Zhu Bai looked at the sample in his hand and smiled at him.

The man's hair stood on end, and he knelt down with fright: "The villain is wrong." ”

Then the whole hall fell silent in an instant. Everybody's looking over here.

Zhu Bai pointed to the official tooth bureau posted on the wall and asked him, "What is that?" ”

The man whispered, "The rules of the official tooth bureau trading." ”

Zhu Bai said: "The third one, read. ”

The man said, "If the seller is shoddy." ”

Zhu Bai: "Be louder. ”

The man: "The first time I was fined half of the total amount of goods, the second time I was blacklisted, and I was banned from entering any first-level official bureau for two years." ”

Zhu Bai sneered: "Recently, the agents have been busy, and they can see things relatively quickly. You profiteers take advantage of the opportunity to be shoddy. ”

The man hurriedly kowtowed: "King Xiang spares his life." ”

Zhu Bai beckoned to the tooth chief: "Write him down." According to the rules, there is also the one who used freshwater beads to pretend to be seawater beads just now. ”

The man wiped his sweat and stood up with his head down: "King Xie Xiang." ”

It's exactly time for the lunch break.

Zhu Bai said to the tooth chief, "Tell the guests to come back in the afternoon." At noon, the main hall has something to deal with. ”

Then the chief and the agents invited the guests out and closed the door.

As soon as Zhang Yu and the others saw it, they knew that Zhu Bai was going to rectify the posture of the tooth shop, and he hurriedly asked the guards to guard the door, and he was also careful.

How can these people not learn to be obedient, if they have to shake their wit under the nose of a human like Zhu Bai, isn't it just somersaulting in front of the tiger - looking for death.

Zhu Bai sat down in the hall. Zhu Hu also sat down beside him.

The brokers stood in two rows in front of him.

Zhu Bai said lightly: "You have worked hard recently. This month, the king will take out 10% of the handling fee to give out bonuses and reward everyone. ”

The brokers were all overjoyed when they heard this, and saluted Zhu Bai: "Your Highness Xie." ”

Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "Although I am busy, I can't mess around." It's better to make fewer orders. Which of the orders that King Zhou saw just now set the price? ”

Several agents bowed their heads and came out: "It's a villain." ”

Zhu Bai asked again: "Who saw the codonopsis and pearls?" ”

One of them stepped forward and saluted: "It's a villain." ”

Zhu Bai said, "Who is your foreman?" ”

Recently, I have been busy, and I can't review it alone, so it's all brokerage pricing and foreman review. The foreman is not sure, or the foreman himself has to price the goods to the tooth chief for review.

The foreman came out: "It's a villain." ”

Zhu Bai said: "They look down on things and the price may be blind. You are looking at the high price of both orders, why? ”

The foreman bowed his head: "The villain is clumsy." ”

Zhu Bai: "You've become the foreman, you can't even see the freshwater beads and seawater beads?" Can't see the oil when the codonopsis is gone? ”

The man bowed his head and said, "The villain has lost his eyes for a while, and he begs the king of Xiang for forgiveness." ”

Zhu Bai sneered: "Do you think that if you two collude and refuse to accept the bribes of the merchants, this king will not be able to find out?" This king wanted to give you a chance to turn yourself in. No wonder this king will bring shame upon yourselves. ”

He raised his hand to Fugui, and Fugui brought in the seller of freshwater beads and the seller of Codonopsis.

The agent and the foreman looked at it and panicked.

They didn't expect Zhu Bai to leave these two people for questioning.
