"This ...... This is the salt of the childe system? ”

Li Jinglong stared at Huang Xiongying with big eyes.

Huang Xiongying nodded.

"Shhhh

Li Jinglong secretly took a breath of cold air, the salt in front of him was small and uniform, and it was as white as snow, and there was no trace of impurities, just looking at it, he knew that it was a good product!

Gently grabbing a handful with his hand, Li Jinglong stretched out his tongue and licked it.

Well......

Salty, pure salt!

And there is not a trace of peculiar smell!

Li Jinglong was like being beaten on the head, and he stood on the spot.

"How?"

Huang Xiongying asked Li Jinglong with a smile.

Li Jinglong slowly turned his head and said stunned: "Okay!" It's really good! ”

This time, absolutely no compliments!

He Li Jinglong swore that he had never eaten such pure and clean salt in his life!

Li Jinglong swallowed hard.

He knows the power of salt, as long as you are a person, you can't do without salt, that is, for the entire Ming Dynasty, salt is an extremely important part of the financial revenue.

Nowadays, the salt made by Huang Xiongying, whether it is in appearance or taste, exceeds the best salt on the market by several grades, and it can even be said to be the difference between cloud and mud.

No wonder that the dead ghost Zhou Ji would have a deal with Huang Xiongying, dare to love it for this salt!

In fact, Zhou Ji did not sell salt through the government, but sold it privately.

First, Huang Xiongying did not supply him much, and secondly, Zhou Ji's greed was like a bottomless pit, and only private sales could maximize profits, and it could even be said to be huge profits.

"It's gone, we're sending it this time!"

Li Jinglong muttered in a low voice, and his eyes couldn't help but show a fine light, because at this time, in his eyes, this pile was not salt, but silver with white flowers!

gave Huang Xiongying's precious Ru kiln, Li Jinglong can be said to be generous this time.

Doesn't he love silver?

On the contrary, he loves him to death!

On the surface, it seems to be breezy and calm, and he even pretends to be stupid, but in fact, he has been dripping blood in his heart......

However, he didn't expect that what he thought was a meat-cutting effort would give him an opportunity to make a fortune!

How brilliant!

Li Jinglong almost couldn't help but applaud himself.

In any case, you must hold the thigh of the emperor's eldest grandson in the future......

Li Jinglong's gaze changed when he looked at Huang Xiongying, if he used to deliberately flatter, then now he is beginning to have some sincere admiration.

"Cao Guogong, if it's okay, then let's start loading!"

"No problem, absolutely no problem!"

Li Jinglong's attitude unconsciously became respectful.

Next.

Li Jinglong arranged for people to come in, and began to carefully pack the salt into bags, and then moved it to the carriage outside and transported it to the salt transportation department......

Salt Transportation Division.

When Han Yong saw this batch of refined salt, his eyes widened.

He has been involved in the salt industry for many years, how can he not see the quality of this batch of refined salt? This kind of refined salt of this quality can be said to be unseen and unheard of.

"Cao Guogong, where did you get this?"

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "You don't care where you got it, you are more professional than us, you should know the quality of this salt, make a price!" ”

"Hmmm......"

The transfer of salt made Han Yong a little difficult.

For he had never touched such refined salt.

I thought about it for a long time.

Han Yong opened his mouth and said: "Now the price of salt on the market sells for one and a half cents of silver, since it is Cao Guogong who sells salt, this official will not talk more nonsense, and add five cents more to the market price to collect salt, what does Cao Guogong think?" ”

"Yes!"

Li Jinglong nodded, and then said: "However, if our refined salt is in short supply in the future, we will raise the price!" ”

"No problem!"

Han Yong agreed.

He knows that where can ordinary people afford to eat this salt? It can only be sold to the powerful, and the powerful don't care about this money, if this kind of salt is only in Li Jinglong's hands, the price increase can be said to be expected.

Li Jinglong took the money, left the salt, and left satisfied......

……

On the other hand, after a period of preparation, Huang Xiongying's shop to buy wine has opened.

However, business is tepid, and it can even be said that it is very cold.

The main reason is that the wine is too expensive.

Three cents of silver and a pound of wine, you must know that at this time, one cent of silver can buy a lot of rice and noodles.

This price scares off the vast majority of people.

However, Huang Xiongying was not in a hurry, because he was not selling this thing to the poor.

All he was waiting for was an opportunity, and now, he had enough to do a lot of things.

It was in this situation of abundance that people couldn't feel it, that Lan Yu was ready to go on the expedition......

……

On the walls of the Forbidden City.

Lan Yu, who had just received the order to go on the expedition, followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang in high spirits.

"Lan Yu, in five days, you will lead the army to the southwest, and this time you must return victorious!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and said leisurely.

Although he was not worried about this war, he still had to give advice, because only when Lan Yu returned victoriously could he implement the policy of changing the land and returning to the river proposed by his eldest grandson.

"The last general will never live up to the emperor's expectations, and this will definitely capture Lu Timur back to Beijing that month, and let the emperor fall!"

Lan Yu held the sword, clenched his fists with both hands, and replied confidently.

"Well, that's good."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, turned around and said, "You ......"

Before the words were spoken, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped, looked at the four partial generals behind Lan Yu, and then glanced at Lan Yu, and said, "Lan Yu, whose general is this, why don't we recognize it?" ”

Lan Yu immediately turned around and shouted to the four people behind him, "Why are you stunned? Don't meet the emperor yet! ”

"Thousands of households Lan Bin knock to see the emperor!"

"Lan Taixing of the Chinese army knocks on the emperor!"

"Former military captain Lan Lei knocked to see the emperor!"

"The Chinese army Lan Yong knocks on the emperor!"

The four of them knelt down one after another and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed to the four of them and said to Lan Yu: "All surnamed Lan, what's the matter, they are all from your Lan family?" ”

Lan Yu laughed and replied, "Your Majesty, they are all the adopted sons of the last general!" All of them are heroes! ”

"Oh-"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and asked with a smile: "Lan Yu, how many righteous sons have you received?" ”

Lan Yu's face showed a bit of smugness, and replied: "The last general can't remember clearly, there are probably hundreds!" ”

Speaking of this, Lan Yu seemed to realize something, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, these righteous sons accepted by the last general, all of them are warriors who can fight well, once they go to the battlefield, without the order of the last general, they will never take a step back!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and then smiled: "Okay, Lanyu, your righteous sons are dozens of times more than our righteous sons!" ”

In fact, the righteous son received by Zhu Yuanzhang is not comparable to that received by Lan Yu.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and many children lost their parents and became orphans.

And these righteous sons also played a huge role in Zhu Yuanzhang's later competition for the world.

Among them, Mu Ying, Li Wenzhong, He Wenhui, Xu Sima, Ping'an, and King Kong Nu are the most famous.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is very clear about the role of the righteous son, because the righteous son is closer to the first part than his subordinates, although he has no blood relationship with himself, most of them are loyal, and they do not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire.

Now that Lan Yu has received more righteous sons than him, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly doesn't feel good in his heart, but he doesn't show it easily, he even has a smile on his face, waved his hand, and said:

"Okay, let's all step down, we want to talk to Lan Yu alone."

"Yes!"

The four generals replied in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and continued to walk with the handrail.

"Sapphire ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and wanted to speak, but he stopped again, and his face, which was still smiling, sank suddenly, and looked at the four partial generals who followed:

"Didn't you hear us? Let's get out of here! ”

The four generals remained standstill.

Lan Yu's face began to twitch slightly, no matter how bad his political wisdom was, he also knew that he had touched the old emperor's moldy head, so he immediately turned to face the four princes, glared angrily, and roared:

"Are you deaf? Retire!! ”

"Yes!"

Only then did the four nominees give up their orders, turn around and retreat.

Looking at the four departing generals, the gloom on Zhu Yuanzhang's face had dissipated, replaced by an expressionless face, and said lightly:

"Lan Yu, you will order, but it is more spiritual than our holy decree!"

Lan Yu froze in place, and finally knew that he was a little panicked, so he hurriedly chased after him, and said: "The emperor forgives the sins, the last general guards the Shaanxi-Gansu border, and the defense line is thousands of miles, so there must be loyal subordinates, so that the military discipline can be strict and everyone is united, over the years, these bastards have become accustomed to the voice of the last general, and I hope the emperor will forgive the sins!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "Lan Yu, you can lead the army and control the generals like you, and you can conquer everything and be invincible!" ”

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, smiled and patted Lan Yu's chest with the back of his hand: "Okay!" Attaboy! ”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, Lan Yu's previous panic had already been thrown out of the clouds, and he arched his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang with a proud face: "Thank you for your praise!" ”

"Alright, let's go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand lightly and continued to move forward expressionlessly......

……

At this time, Huang Xiongying's winery still did not improve.

Huang Xiongying also recognized a fact, that is, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, so he wants to do some advertising.

However, this ancient world is no more than later generations, there are so many ways to advertise.

So Huang Xiongying came up with a solution.

Taste it for free!

As soon as the free tasting sign was erected, there were more people coming in an instant.

One person can drink a small cup.

But most of them came to drink, and after tasting it, they showed an expression of admiration, licked their mouths, and left.

After all, who would be a real rich man to line up for such a small drink?

But Huang Xiongying doesn't care, as long as word of mouth spreads and word of mouth stands, it will spread ten, ten and hundred, and the powerful will take the bait after all.

Gradually, Huang Xiongying found that most of the people who came to drink were soldiers, except for those rotten drunkards who had no money.

These soldiers are well recognizable in iron armor.

Because the imperial court was preparing to go to the southwest, there were more soldiers in Yingtianfu.

A day or two later, more soldiers came, and a long queue formed directly in front of the winery, which was not lively.

I don't know, I thought something was going on.

In a shop half a street away, Xu Miaojin and Chan'er were also curious......

At this time, in the private room on the second floor of the wine shop, Guo Zhen said to Huang Xiongying with a bitter face: "Childe, the person who came to drink wine has not stopped all day long, and if you drink it like this, the wine we brewed has not been sold for money, and it is almost halfway there!" ”

Huang Xiongying asked calmly: "Who are the people who come to drink?" ”

Guo Zhen replied: "In the past two days, there were three sects and nine streams, but today they are almost all soldiers!" ”

"Got it."

Huang Xiongying nodded, then stood up and walked outside.

When I came to the first floor, there were all soldiers scrambling, some old and some young, the old ones had gray hair, and the few were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were still immature.

Looking at these soldiers, Huang Xiongying's heart was inexplicably a little sour.

He himself was originally a military member, and he was going to go to the battlefield with them to kill the enemy.

There is a saying that good iron does not hit nails, and good men do not serve soldiers.

But if there were no people throwing their heads and spilling their blood, how could hundreds of millions of Ming people live a peaceful life?

I don't know if it's a good man, but Huang Xiongying knows that they are heroes!

"Go, go change a few bowls!"

Huang Xiongying instructed Guo Zhen, Guo Zhen nodded, and then went to get a few bowls and replaced the original small cups.

The soldiers burst into cheers.

An elderly soldier saw Huang Xiongying in the rear and shouted, "Shopkeeper, thank you!" ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

The soldiers shouted along.

A soldier with a long scar on his face shouted: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, we're just here to drink, but we don't have the money to buy your wine!" ”

"I know!"

Huang Xiongying replied with a smile, and then instructed Guo Xuan on the side: "Pour me a bowl of wine!" ”

After a while, Huang Xiongying took the wine handed over by Guo Xuan, held it high, and said, "You are all the most heroic men in the Ming Dynasty!" You are heroes! But there are too many people, I really can't greet them, so I bother you to line up, I respect you! ”

After that, Huang Xiongying drank it all!

The entire brewery burst into applause......

……

Until sunset, there were still soldiers lining up at the winery.

And at this moment, a middle-aged general wearing armor, tall and resolute appeared on Datong Street, looked at the scene of the wine shop, and asked the partial general beside him:

"Lan Bin, this is the winery that has been rumored in the army in the past two days?"

"Yes, father-in-law!"

The father-in-law in Lan Bin's mouth is naturally Lan Yu.

This expedition to the southwest was mainly to transfer troops from Shaanxi and Gansu, but Ying Tianfu would also send some military horses to follow Lan Yu, and in the two days before the expedition, the wine of a winery was spread in the army.

It is rumored that the wine costs no money and is extremely delicious.

The officers and men of the army were generally heavy drinkers, so countless soldiers flocked to the winery.

Even Lan Yu heard the rumors, so he brought a few righteous sons to see what the situation was.

"Let's go, go with Ben and have a look!"

Lan Yu said a sigh, raised his feet and walked towards the winery......
