Because there is a lack of salt in the mountains, it is all transported from outside. Even if there is a small amount of rock salt mine, because there are too many impurities, people who eat too much are easy to be poisoned. Therefore, the stockade in the mountains can only endure the high price of salt! But now that the pound outside has dropped to fifty-five wen a catty, then if they can transport the salt to the mountains and sell it for two hundred wen, they will be thanked by the villagers of the cottage!

The reacting Gayin was overjoyed! But then he calmed down and immediately asked, "Why don't you buy salt when the price of salt is so low?" You're here with money, but there's no salt here!"

Li Changshou said, "My good brother, don't worry! I only found out about this when I met a fleet of salt-carrying ships in the lower reaches of the Wujiang River!"

After saying that, he told Gayin what had happened. It turned out that when Li Changshou was resting at night in the lower reaches of the Wujiang River, he happened to encounter a huge fleet of sailors who also docked to rest. So when he went ashore, he heard a lot of things from the mouths of the officers and soldiers of the sailors!

He knew that the whole Ming Dynasty was now arresting salt merchants and salt lords, and he also knew that this fleet was ordered by the imperial court to transport salt everywhere! And there will be a boat coming here in Donglai Town!

After Li Changshou got the news, he didn't care about purchasing other goods, and found some familiar merchants, scraped together a sum of money as much as possible, and then hurried over! He wanted Gayin to buy as much salt as possible and sell it in the mountains! As long as this business is completed, your assets can be tripled in the blink of an eye! Even four times is not impossible! And being grateful to Dade for making money made him even more proud!

And Gayin was also very excited when he heard the news, as if he saw a golden avenue unfolding in front of his eyes! However, he quickly calmed himself down and said, "But what about those smugglers? We really can't fight them!"

Li Changshou waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid of them! Now people are going out to encircle and suppress smuggling salt dealers in all counties. Now they don't even dare to show their heads!"

Gayin thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case! Because the private traders who regularly go to the mountains to sell salt have not shown up for almost two months, and now the salt in the cottage has bottomed out! He's here to get some more salt!

And when he heard that those salt lords were surrounded and suppressed by the government, Gayin knew that his opportunity had really come! He said eagerly, "What the hell is going on? You have to tell me more about it!"

Li Changshou sighed fiercely at this time and said, "My brother, it's not that I won't tell you, it's because I don't know either! I just heard what the sailors said! But don't worry, I've heard that every ship is staffed by government people who will explain it all in detail! Now all you have to do is hurry up and get the money ready and buy enough salt to ship back when the salt ship comes! And I tell you, the ship carrying the salt is not far behind me, and it will be here at the most tomorrow evening or noon the day after tomorrow!"

Hearing Li Changshou say this, Jiayin slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "But I didn't bring much money out of the delivery this time, what can I do?"

Li Changshou said: "My brother, you are a fan of the authorities! I've got some money here! There are a lot of Miao people in this town, you can borrow a little silver from them, I think they will give you this little face, right?"

When Gayin heard this, he immediately shook his fist hard and said, "That's right, I can borrow some money! I can also mortgage my trinkets for some money and come back!"

Li Changshou nodded again and again and said, "Then you go, you go!" I'll go to Bataan's house for dinner by myself!"

Without him having to say it a second time, Gayin had already jumped off the boat and ran out of his legs towards the town! He plundered each of his companions for money, pledged everything he could to Han Min, and returned to Bataan's house with a large bag of silver and copper coins. Look at the book

In the afternoon, his other brothers rushed to the dock with their carts and baggage. The sailors unloaded their small cargo before loading their own cargo into the hold. When everything was done, Li Changshou said to Jiayin, "My brother, I have no money and no goods for you this time! I'll get rid of the goods when I go and have them next time!"

Additive

deliberately shook his upper body, and the burden he was carrying behind his back immediately emitted a "banging metal crashing sound!" Then he smiled and said, "It's all right, my brother! After so many years of dating, can I still trust you? And you brought me important news this time, and I haven't thanked you yet!"

But Li Changshou didn't take advantage of this conversation, but stepped forward and whispered, "My brother, I think there will definitely be many people competing with you for salt this time, do you want me and the sailors to stay and help you?"

Jiayin stroked the Miao knife on his waist and said, "No need, my brother! If anyone dares to stop me this time, I'll fight with him!"

Li Changshou knew how fierce these mountain people were, so he didn't say anything else, and said directly: "Although the government said that anyone can buy and sell salt this time, the illegal salt dealers in this neighborhood must not have been killed by the government, maybe they will come out to stir up the situation, you have to be prepared!"

Gayin also whispered, "Don't worry, I've thought of this! I've already sent my two fastest brothers to ask for help! When reinforcements arrive, don't be afraid of those smugglers!"

Hearing this, Li Changshou nodded reassuringly and said, "That's right! I know it's not because you didn't fight those smugglers before, it's because they can't get salt if you kill them! But you can always buy salt, and you are not afraid to kill them!"

Gayin nodded heavily and said, "That's right, we mountain people are never afraid of anyone!"

After saying what should be said, the sailors on the ship were already beckoning Li Changshou to leave. So the two good friends hugged goodbye again.

Seeing that the boat had gone away, the other Miao people gathered around Jiayin. One of the Miao people pressed the Miao knife and said, "Brother Jiayin, I see that you sent someone to call someone, is it because someone wants to swallow our goods?"

"There may be a fight, but it's not about swallowing our goods! I can't tell you the reason now, but I can only tell you that if this thing happens, the village will be able to eat 200 wen a pound of salt in the future, or even 100 wen a pound of salt!"
