"The king is angry, the king is angry, this is indeed medium-grade salt, and the finest refined salt is counted every year, and it needs to be supplied to the royal family, and the salt supervisor checks it very strictly every year, and we can't pour it out."

The old shopkeeper was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said.

"Oh, you have salt supervision and dare to sell smuggled salt?"

Sun Lei asked with squinted eyes.

"The king doesn't know, this coastal land has been boiling salt for a long time, the salt is very strictly supervised, and the price of salt is too low, I can't wait, so I have to secretly detain some salt and sell it privately, as long as it is not the highest quality refined salt, this middle grade and lower grade salt can still leave a lot."

The old shopkeeper explained that the boiled salt industry is actually the same as farming, it is also pressed layer by layer, and the boiled salt can only be sold to the salt supervisor and the designated salt merchants, and the price of salt is determined by the salt supervisor, and the shipping price is extremely suppressed under the collusion of officials and businessmen, which makes the merchants who cook salt have to take risks to sell smuggled salt.

"Your salt is not good, look at my silver, this is snow-white and shiny snowflake silver, if I take that dirty silver, will you?"

Sun Lei looked at the old shopkeeper, holding a handful of snowflake silver in his hand, the silver ingots were dazzling, and the quality of the silver also determined its value.

"If the king wants it, then twenty dollars!"

The old shopkeeper knew that Sun Lei was lowering the price, so he could only make concessions, although the profit was less, but he was able to save his capital and life after all.

"What is the local purchase price of this salt?"

Sun Lei threw a few ingots of silver in his hand onto the table and asked.

"The price given by the salt supervisor is eighteen wen."

The old shopkeeper didn't dare to lie, so he had to answer.

"Salt prison to eighteen wen? You sell me twenty wen? ”

Sun Lei touched his chin and thought.

"You want this old man to die, dare to make grandfathers' money?"

Ruan Xiaowu took off the crocodile claw on his waist and slapped it on the table and stared at the old shopkeeper, this old man dared to quote a false price, he was really looking for death.

"Fifth brother, let me skin this old boy and sink to the bottom of the water to feed the king!"

Ruan Xiaoqi took out a fish-dissolving knife and stabbed it on the table.

Ruan Xiaoer looked at the old shopkeeper and didn't speak.

"Alas! Don't get excited, twenty wen is twenty wen, people send it from afar, and you should give an errand money. ”

Sun Lei waved his hand to stop Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi.

"Okay, twenty wen is twenty wen, remember, in the future, medium-grade salt can be shipped to me, I want as much as I want, and every catty I am two wen higher than the salt supervisor!"

Sun Lei nodded at Zhu Gui, and Zhu Gui quickly took out four hundred taels of silver from the box and stacked them neatly on the table.

"Count the points."

Sun Lei looked at the old shopkeeper and said.

"No points! No points! ”

The old shopkeeper hurriedly took out a cloth package of silver from his waist, and when Zhu Gui put the silver just now, he could see clearly that four hundred taels and one tael were a lot.

"In the future, remember to bring me good salt if you have it, and I have always been very good at money."

Sun Lei looked at the old shopkeeper and said.

"This ...... I'll talk to my lord when I go back. ”

The old shopkeeper didn't dare to agree, after all, Sun Lei's identity was too special, and if he stuck a little bit, he might be stealing his family and exterminating the family.

"No need to discuss, you sell me salt, I give you money, what is there to negotiate?"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

The old shopkeeper's face froze, and his hand, which was originally quick and loaded with silver, suddenly became sluggish, this silver is not easy to take, once it is taken it is related to Sun Lei, Sun Lei's meaning is very clear to him, if he does not sell salt in the future, he will not only find trouble, but also publicize this matter, and they will still not be able to escape when the time comes.

"You know what I mean, go back and convey it well, as long as you continue to send salt, no one will know about it."

Sun Lei saw that the old shopkeeper's movements were sluggish, and he knew that he had understood.

"King, you are offended by Gao Taiwei, who is a celebrity around the emperor, we really dare not provoke!"

The old shopkeeper plucked up the courage and said, although they are in a remote place, they have heard about Gao Yu, that is a scoundrel who holds grudges the most, Sun Lei killed Gao Yanei, how could Gao Yu give up.

"You don't have to worry about it, you just need to send salt secretly, and the rest won't be related to you."

Sun Lei knew the worry of the old manager, and waved his hand, looking like he was doing things alone.

"You old thing, what a god my brother is, he can come out of Tokyo City, who can stop him, you don't need others to do it anymore, I'll take someone to your village to borrow some money and grain!"

Ruan Xiaoqi patted the table and looked at the old shopkeeper and frightened, the old man opened his mouth and decided that they would be exterminated by Gao Yu.

"The villain doesn't dare! Can't! ”

The old shopkeeper is really afraid of a hot-tempered thief like Ruan Xiaoqi, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will use a knife.

A boatload of salt was quickly unloaded, the old shopkeeper didn't dare to stay longer, took the silver and left by boat, the only thing that made him happy this time was that Sun Lei was still more trustworthy, and really gave money, although the price was lower, but the money in hand was real silver, Wang Lun was not so happy before, and every time he dragged the payment for the goods with all kinds of excuses.

"Brother, what do we need so much salt for, we can't finish this thing."

Ruan Xiaoqi looked at the bags of salt, this thing is usually precious, but it is useless if there is more, and he only eats a little salt a day.

"Sell, didn't you say it last time, let's do a long-term deal, this salt is good!"

Sun Lei patted the sacks and said.

"Brother, how can this salt be sold, can we push the cart to the villages and towns to sell it?"

Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu were also worried, salt is definitely not a thing to sell, but how to sell it is a problem, they can't go to the city to open a shop to sell salt, first, there is no salt certificate issued by the salt supervisor, and second, the identity of the bandit is not allowed.

"That's a problem!"

Sun Lei was asked all of a sudden, how can he sell this is indeed a troublesome matter, so many salt sales channels are a big problem, Wang Lun can sell it to Jeju Mansion in large quantities, he can't, he has offended Gao Yu's wanted criminal, and he doesn't dare to offend Gao Yu if he gives Jeju Mansion Yin a hundred dares.

"Brother, it's better to sell it at the Lijia Daokou Hotel first, where is the main road to and fro, and the salt is not slow to sell, and when the news spreads slowly, this sales channel will be opened."

Zhu Gui opened his mouth and said, this thing is still the most suitable for him to do.

"Well, that's it for now, but how much does it cost to sell for a pound!"

Sun Lei nodded and looked at Zhu Gui again, Zhu Gui still understands this business better.

"The quality of this salt is actually not bad, it can be sold with medium-grade salt, and now the medium-grade salt on Jingxi Road is about 34 wen a catty, and it is more appropriate for us to sell private salt at 30 wen a catty."

Zhu Gui hugged his fist at Sun Lei and said, the price of this private salt is naturally not higher than that of official salt, otherwise it will not be sold at all, and the price difference between Siwen is attractive enough.

"Damn, this pound is to earn ten cents? Can a boatload of salt net two hundred yuan? ”

Sun Lei was shocked by this profiteering business, this is just a boatload of salt, if the scale can be expanded, the profit is much higher than robbing the house, and the eight hundred miles of water are less salt?

The three brothers of the Ruan family were all incredulous when they heard that they could earn 200 yuan of salt, and if they were ordinary fishing, the three brothers would not earn 100 yuan a year.

"Zhu Gui, I'll sell this salt to you, do it well!"

Sun Lei patted those salt packets, looked at the white salt in them, and suddenly felt like a big brother in the underworld commanding his younger brother to sell white powder.
