Chapter 90: Money
"Brother is interested in salt?"
Zhu Gui asked suspiciously.
"No, I'm interested in money, I always have to think of a way to get money in such a big cottage, otherwise what will I eat with nearly a thousand mouths?"
Sun Lei shook his head, he was not interested in salt or anything, the most important thing for him to build a club and engage in a gang was money, which he learned from the movie, there are three conditions for success in doing great things, the first is money, the second is money, and the third is money.
"Brother, it's not easy to ask for money, tomorrow I will take people down the mountain to find a few villages to borrow grain, and by the way, rob a few big families!"
Ruan Xiaoqi heard that Sun Lei was worried about money, and immediately patted his chest and said.
"Looking for food from the village? Grab a big deal? Will this last? ”
Sun Lei took a sip of wine and shook his head.
"Long?"
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi glanced at each other, as if they didn't understand the meaning of these two words, since the grass fell in their eyes, they drank a lot of wine, ate a lot of meat, divided gold and silver, and wore silk and satin in a different way.
"Long!"
Zhu Gui's eyes flashed with surprise, he has been in the rivers and lakes for a few years, and he has seen many characters, but no one has Sun Lei's vision.
"This Sun Lei looks young and floating, but his vision is different from ordinary people, not like ordinary rivers and lakes."
Zhu Gui thought in his heart.
"You go to a village today to borrow grain, this village is eighty percent destroyed, next month you go to another village, destroy another one, although Liangshanbo is big, how many villages can you destroy? And if you do too much, it will naturally make those people afraid, and if you are afraid, you will run, where will you go to borrow food at that time? ”
"Then there is the matter of robbing the road, the same as borrowing grain, if you do too much, no one will drive away the road near Liangshanbo, they would rather take a long detour, no one will rob anyone? When the time comes, you can't go hundreds of miles away, right? ”
Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi and said, these two were fishermen before and had never really been robbers, and their ideas were too simple.
"Uh...... Brother, if you don't borrow food or rob the road, let's still fall into the grass! ”
Ruan Xiaoqi muttered.
"Whoever told Lingluo Cao to do that, those are all rough and stupid methods, let's think of some smart ways, otherwise you will go to Shijie Village today to borrow grain, and then go to rob Shijie Town."
Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoqi.
"Brother, I didn't mean that."
Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly explained that he couldn't do it in Shijie Village and Shijie Town, and it was all how the acquaintances of the villagers could do it.
"Let's move on to the salt."
Sun Lei looked at Zhu Gui and asked.
"Brother, the salt in the north is generally divided into anti-salt and sea salt. Salt solution refers to the salt produced in the salt ponds and salt wells of Henan, Hebei, west of Caopu and east of Qinfeng. As the name suggests, sea salt is the salt obtained by boiling seawater in coastal areas. Although they are all salt, the price varies greatly. ”
"The salt refining is simple, the quality is good, according to the quality is divided into three grades, the price per catty is between 34 and 44 Wen. Sea salt refining is more troublesome, and its quality is also uneven, divided into 31 grades, between 8 and 47 wen per catty. ”
Zhu Gui introduced the salt business to Sun Lei in detail.
"I can't see you have a lot of opinions about salt."
Sun Lei asked with a smile.
"Don't hide it from my brother, the villain's ancestors are in business, and they have also had salt introductions and sold salt."
Zhu Gui replied.
"Haha, I see, this salt seems to be indeed profitable, and selling smuggled salt is really a good deal."
Sun Lei nodded and said.
"You said something happened in it, what happened?"
Sun Lei asked again.
"I just guessed this change based on some things, I don't know if it's true or not, Wang Lun didn't have much manpower when he first came to Liangshan, and it all relied on Chai Jin's funding, and later this private businessman also contacted Chai Jin to do it, but Liangshan seemed to break off the relationship with Chai Jin after he had some strength, Wang Lun set up his own door and began to do private salt trading alone, according to what I know, it should be that Chai Jin's purchase price is too high, and he is looking for other ways."
Zhu Gui returned to the road, in the past, it was Wang Lun, Du Qian and Song Wan who had the final say on Liangshan, although he sat on the chair, he was actually just the leader of the store.
"It turned out that there was a falling out, this guy was still talking about things with Chai Jin's brand, it was really cunning, pulling the tiger skin as a banner, but it had already fallen out."
Sun Lei threw the bronze medal on the table and said with a smile, he now understands one thing, why is it Lin Chong who is on fire and Wang Lun, there are many people who are more temperamental than Lin Chong at that time, and no one can do anything It is not the turn of Lin Chong, who was born in the official army to be a man and do things, and he endures Lin Chong's hand, which is very abrupt and unreasonable, although Wang Lun despises Lin Chong, but Lin Chong is here to take refuge, isn't it normal to send people under the fence? Lin Chong is angry and left, can he kill Wang Lun? No matter how you say this kind of thing, killing the boss is disgraceful, whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the official army, this principle is universal.
It is estimated that Lin Impulsive's hand was instructed by Chai Jin, Wang Lun turned his face when he got the funding to go out and gain a firm foothold, Chai Jin took the opportunity to recommend Lin Chong to take a look at the situation, Wang Lun pushed three times and was unwilling, Chai Jin would not be soft on this kind of white-eyed wolf who eats inside and out.
"Who did Wang Lun sell this salt to, I haven't heard of anyone selling smuggled salt around here."
Sun Lei asked curiously.
"This villain knows something, Wang Lun is very witty, he doesn't dare to blatantly sell illegal salt, but just sell the salt to Jeju Mansion at a discount, so every time he comes to the salt, he can quickly get rid of it, and there is no backlog of goods, the private salt is only twenty wen a catty, and when he sells it to the government, it immediately becomes official salt, and one catty can be sold for thirty or forty wen, so Wang Lun has been in Liangshanbo for two years, and the government has never really come to suppress it, and every time it is a look."
Zhu Gui said.
"It's fun! This hand is really powerful, and it is really not something that ordinary Jianghu characters can think of! ”
Sun Lei clapped his hands and said, Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman, is really not simple, this hand is really beautiful, not something that ordinary rough men can think of, no wonder Wang Lun was safe when he occupied Liangshan, Chao Gai sent troops to suppress it as soon as he took the throne of Jeju Mansion.
"Zhu Gui, since I have become the owner of the village, are you willing to join the gang?"
Sun Lei officially invited Zhu Gui, there are few talents on the mountain, although Zhu Gui is not good at force, but he still has a set of things to open a store.
"Brother Meng can afford it, and the younger brother is willing to follow his brother!"
Zhu Gui hurriedly bowed his head.
"Then you will be a steward first, and then you will sit on the chair when you have merit!"
Sun Lei nodded with satisfaction, he was not ready to sit on the chair of everyone, it seemed that the cottage was too unstylish.
"Even if I am a minion in front of my brother, I am willing to do it."
Zhu Gui didn't have any opinions.
"By the way, I heard that you often turn over merchants when you open a hotel, turn the slices of fine meat into dumplings, and light the lamp with fat and fried oil, and do some black shop business?"
Sun Lei looked at Zhu Gui and asked.
"My brother misunderstood, this is all a rumor that people are afraid of making trouble and deliberately letting it out, and the rumors that there is no bluffing on the rivers and lakes are unstable. There is a cottage behind the younger brother, and the hotel is opened to listen to the news, what is wanted is that people come and go, the more lively the news, the more well-informed the news, and no one dares to come if you open a black shop to make money and kill yourself, isn't this the news broken. Black shops are generally opened by lonely souls and wild ghosts, and what they do is to buy and sell in despair, not for a long time, but only for the money in front of them. ”
Zhu Gui shook his head and explained.
