The merchant glanced at the boy again.

The boy nodded slightly.

The merchant took out the money for the food and drinks and put it on the table, patted the man on the shoulder, and went out.

The group returned to the official tooth bureau, and the merchant saluted the little boy: "Your Highness, your subordinates are offended. ”

It turned out that this was Zhang Yu and Zhu Bai disguised as master and servants.

Zhu Bai shook his head: "No, you have made a great contribution today and asked for some important information. ”

Zhang Yu frowned: "These widows are really cunning, what should I do now." ”

Zhu Bai: "Respond to the sky." ”

Zhang Yu and Fugui hurriedly said together: "It's good to go back, it's good to go back." We brought fewer people. If you really fight,"

Zhu Bai rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm so tired, this king feels sore all over his body, and his head hurts, I'm afraid I'm going to die." ”

Fugui was very nervous when he heard it: "Your Highness, I'm afraid that I listened to the music too late in the past few days and contracted the wind cold." How this is good. ”

Zhang Yu also said: "Weichen immediately called the imperial doctor to rush over from Yingtian. ”

Just kidding, if Zhu Bai had three long and two short on the road, how many lives they had would not be enough for Lao Zhu to kill.

That night, the official tooth bureau was very nervous.

It is said that people come and go to grab medicine and boil medicine, and make trouble until dawn.

Early the next morning, Zhu Bai and his party returned to Yingtian by land.

Unlike when he came, he was quiet.

On the first day, take a carriage to the Yangtze River, and then change boats and go upstream.

The ship walked on the Yangtze River for two days, and he never left the cabin.

The prefects of the counties along the way saluted by the river.

Only Zhang Yu came out and stood at the bow of the boat and bowed his hand to the officials: "Everyone, disperse." Your Highness is to rest. ”

The prefects of the county saw Zhu Bai hastily waving his hand by the window, and secretly scolded the "loser" in their hearts, and then returned the salute neatly and dispersed.

A well-informed source said that the imperial doctor rushed to Yangzhou and boarded the ship with Zhu Bai on the Yangtze River.

Zhu Bai must have been seriously ill in the Qinglou and was not easy to see.

Even the envoy Chen Acai who occupied the city was so tired that he didn't show up all the way because he stayed in the Qinglou for three nights.

Someone in Yangzhou City was so happy that they high-fived each other: It's good that this little Yama is dead.

He's finally gone, and they're back to work.

------

The two Huai both transported salt and sent a high roller to the division, holding ten salt leads, each 10,000 catties.

I haven't even seen a few of these kinds of guests.

Therefore, the envoy was very cautious, personally inspected it several times, and called the guest in to take a good look.

Short and sturdy, with a red and black face, he looks like a person who often runs outside.

The envoy asked, "Where did your salt come from?" ”

The guest honestly replied: "I bought it from Xi'anwei." ”

This kind of thing is really rare.

Neither a border merchant, nor a tun merchant who buys salt from a border merchant.

The Du Transit Envoy sank his face: "Nonsense, how can the Xi'an Health Institute sell salt." The imperial court stipulated that only military rations could be exchanged for salt. ”

The high roller muttered, "I'll get it anyway." ”

All the transfer envoys pursed their lips: Xi'an Weisuo is far away from the emperor, and there are many cats who are tired.

I'm a mere third-grade official, and I can't manage that much at all.

Don't ask more.

And this person is dressed in mink, gold and jade, no matter how you look at it, he is a rich man.

He spoke with a northern accent, and he must have been a layman who had never done the salt business.

The envoy thought for a moment and patiently explained: "There is so much salt, you can't sell it all at once if you take it." ”

The high roller frowned: "Why?" Isn't salt something everyone has to eat? ”

The envoy said: "100,000 catties, you should eat it!" And even if you take salt from us, you have to take a water plan to sell it to the designated place. Otherwise, even if it is used as illicit salt, it is a great crime to kill the head. ”

The high roller suddenly realized and nodded: "Oh, then trouble the adult to give the villain a water map." ”

The envoy choked, gritted his teeth and replied, "There is no one like you." ”

Damn, if this official gives you the water range map like this, what will we eat?

A county town can transport a thousand catties at most at a time. 100,000 catties require 100 water maps, 100 counties, and several proclamations.

Therefore, the border merchants will find it troublesome and would rather sell the salt to the hoarders.

Hoarders take large sums of salt to attract all the salt so that the division can take the salt or exchange it for a small amount of salt and sell it to the water merchants.

The water merchant came to transfer the salt to the division here to take the approved water map.

In this way, everyone will be rich.

All the salt is transferred so that the division can fish for oil and water three times.

The high roller looked dazed: "Why not." ”

The envoy said, "You are extracting too much at once." Today's water range map is finished, and I will come back tomorrow. There is only that much salt that is shipped every day. All of them are like you, and they cost 100,000 catties at a time. Where did the salt pan come from. ”

The high roller nodded: "Yes, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

All the transfers made me feel a headache: it was completely a harp to the cow. How do you make this rookie understand the rules?

When the high-roller came out of the salt envoy from the capital, several tun households immediately surrounded him: "This guest, sell us your salt." ”

The high roller asked, "How much?" ”

A tunhu said, "Ten pounds a catty, a hundred thousand catties, a thousand silver." ”

The high roller rolled his eyes: "What about you coaxing the child?" Guangdong salt is ten pounds. Huaiyan is also sold for 30 wen a catty, and in some places it is sold for 50 wen a catty. ”

Tunto: "That's the price you said the government sold to the people. You've got to leave it to us to earn a little bit. ”

The high roller thought for a while and said, "Thirty wen a catty, no less, you can earn ten wen if you sell it to the government for forty wen a catty." ”

When the tun households heard this, they laughed, and said in a strange way: "This uncle, I'm afraid that your salt will not be able to buy it until you are old." ”

"You'd better make less money and sell it to us. Otherwise, once the validity period expires, it will be lost. ”

The high roller stiffened his neck: "I don't believe in this evil yet." Why did you make more than half of it for nothing? The people buy salt so expensive, because you people take advantage of it. ”

As soon as everyone heard some nonsense in his mouth, they didn't want to cause trouble, so they didn't speak anymore and dispersed in a hurry.

The high roller said, "No, I'll go to the official tooth bureau to sell it." ”

Someone laughed: "There is no water path map, and the official tooth bureau can't do it." A yamen is in charge of the affairs of a yamen. The Yangzhou Mansion and the Guanya Bureau are not in charge of the transfer of salt envoys. ”

The high roller ran to the official tooth bureau.

Sure enough, no one in the official tooth bureau paid attention to him.

The Salt Envoy only sent water maps to a few regular customers, and many of them had suffered losses.

I bought the salt guide, but I couldn't get the water range map, so I had to sell it to those people at a low price.

The tooth chief of the official dental bureau saw that the high-roller had been around for several days, and kindly persuaded him: "You should go to the capital to transfer the salt envoy." We really can't control the salt envoys. His Royal Highness the King of Xiang can't control it. ”

The high rollers can only come to the capital again to transport the salt envoys.

The envoy didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he casually called a small official to come out and send him away.
