Chapter Seventy-Nine: Do You Have New Salt?
The two turned their heads to look at each other almost at the same time, with the same incredulous expression.
Lin Yuan's stupidity is stupid again?
, Lao Tzu is going to rebel, Lao Tzu is going to marry Lin Qing'er (Lin Yue's youngest daughter!!
Damn, with Lao Tzu's current status and strength, Lin Yu will 100% agree to this family business.
Don't talk about Lao Tzu all day long, such an important thing as official salt, you old miscellaneous hair...
Wait, it's a bit wrong.
It hasn't been long since my new salt was made...
Lin Yuan, even if he was stupid enough to sell the salt-making craft to Zhou Zhushan, he Zhou Zhushan would not have enough time to make new salt.
Moreover, Zhou Zhushan's expression was not proud, but as surprised as me!
Good guy, you won't be a traverser too, will you open a golden finger?
Liu Mo couldn't help frowning!
"The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules." Gong Changyi continued, "To join my Salt Gang, you need to follow the rules of my Salt Gang. The first is to pay five hundred taels of silver. β
What's the matter, why don't you grab it, the entrance fee is so high?
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and the things that follow are very important and must be endured.
Liu Mo nodded in agreement.
So Gong Changyi continued, "Second, after joining the Salt Gang, you can do business with the salt merchants in the gang on your own. But if the new salt wants to be put on the market, it needs to be discussed by the people in charge of my salt gang. β
Damn, it's too much to sell official salt and have the nod of your gangsters!
But it can't be helped. The salt roads of the Great Xia Dynasty are already rotten to the house, otherwise Huang Shouren would not let himself cure them!
I want to destroy your "gangster", and I have to blend into your circle in the early stage, and wait for my new salt to spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.
After adjusting his breathing, what Liu Mo didn't expect was that Gong Changyi's next words shocked him even more.
"According to the rules of my salt gang, within a year, there will be no two new salts on the market, so..."
it!
This salt gang is a bit diao!
The salt road of the Great Xia Dynasty feels like you are managing!
There will be no two new salts on the market in a year, which means that Zhou Zhushan and I can only market one new salt?
Hearing this news, I don't know if it was too shocking, which made Zhou Zhushan lose his mind for a while, and he actually came up with a sentence. "Gong Lao Gang Leader, I'll come first!"
Hearing this, Liu Mo almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
The palace chief twisted his beard and said meaningfully, "This matter is not said first. β
"So what?" Zhou Zhushan was anxious, "Gong Lao Gang Leader, I have a handwritten letter from Lord Shi Su of the Salt Patrol Palace. β
Patrol the history of the salt?
In the thirteen supervising imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Great Xia Dynasty, an official in charge of inspecting salt affairs. It is seven grades, and the same grade as the county.
There is no need to guess, it must have been specially arranged by the prince behind Zhou Zhushan.
I'll arrange a He Ruda here, and you'll immediately patrol the history of the salt on your side!
Game of Thrones really feels like walking on thin ice.
Gong Changyi obviously didn't eat his set, "Gongzi Zhou, if you don't want to abide by the rules of my salt gang, then please go back." β
These words made Zhou Zhushan speechless.
"Two sons, please go back first today," the palace chief Yi gave an order to evict guests, "Ming'er can send someone to send new salt, there is news, the old man will notify you separately." β
It is understandable that the new salt should be handed over to the Salt Gang to do a quality appraisal similar to that of the earth.
Liu Mo knew that before the appraisal results came out, this matter was in a hurry, so he bowed and saluted, turned around and left.
"Uncle, how are things going?" Zhao Da, who was waiting outside the door, asked after seeing Liu Mo.
"Two words, trouble!" Liu Mo frowned, "You can go to the Rongcheng County Ya now, and ask Lord He about the bottom of the supervision of Lord Yu Shi Su." Also, Zhou Zhushan actually made new salt, you can also find out what is going on! β
"What? Zhou Zhushan! Zhao Da was shocked!
~~~
The next day, Liu Mo asked Li Xin to send new salt, and at the same time paid five hundred taels of entrance fees.
According to the rules of the Salt Gang, after paying the fee, Liu Mo and Zhou Zhushan went to the Salt Gang again and accepted the ceremony of joining the Gang: Drowning Ceremony.
The homonym of drowning is salt, and the salt gang lives on salt, which is also appropriate.
The process is very simple, it is to pour salt water on the head and swear in front of the head of the salt gang.
The ceremony was completed, and the "Jingshui Pavilion" was returned, and Zhao Da also brought the news.
Supervising the imperial history Su Zhongle, the last Enke Tanhua, the protΓ©gΓ© of the eldest prince and Taifu.
For this reason, Liu Mo understood, Li Guangrun, Zhou Zhushan, belonged to the faction of the eldest prince.
At the same time, Zhao Da also inquired about other information.
In addition to the gang leader Gong Changyi, the salt gang also has four leaders.
It was the second boss who presided over the gang initiation ceremony for Liu Mo, and the other masters were not usually in Rongcheng, and they would only come back if there was an important matter in the gang.
The information that Liu Mo wants to know the most, Zhou Zhushan's new salt, has several theories.
The first: well salt from the neighboring province of Huaichu.
The second is to buy it from a salt merchant at a high price.
The third type: Like Liu Mo, it belongs to sea salt, but it is "boiled salt" made by the old method.
Well salt from sinking wells, extracting brine, transporting brine to frying salt, the division of labor is very fine, the process is complicated, and the engineering cost and equipment investment are quite large. It generally takes one or two to four or five years to open a well, and it takes more than ten or even decades at most.
Although its quality is much higher than that of sea salt, the high cost is obviously not competitive.
Not to mention sea salt, the salt obtained by the "boiling salt method" is not as good as oneself in any aspect.
Bought it from other salt merchants, this amount of information gave Liu Mo a headache.
Buy high-quality refined salt at a high price, keep the price down, and resist your own new salt.
One after another problems stood in front of him, and Liu Mo was a little exhausted.
On the night after joining the Salt Gang, after a busy day, he returned to Jingshui Pavilion and was planning to rest and rest.
Unexpectedly, another annoyance came.
If this matter was changed before, it should be a benefit to be reasonable, but at this moment, Liu Mo couldn't cry or laugh.
What's up?
That's Lin Shiqi's belly, and it's still not moving!
No, at this time, Lin Shiqi changed into a very "ornamental" shirt again and came to Liu Mo.
I want to sow seeds again!
"Shiqi, today I'm a little..."
He wanted to say that he was a little tired and couldn't keep up with his nutrition.
But Lin Shiqi didn't give him a chance to speak at all, so she sat directly on Liu Mo, and a pair of cherry red lips were also blocked.
Good guy, so proactive, it seems that I have taken it badly!
After lingering for a long time, they separated.
Liu Mo looked up, and a soft halo shone on Lin Shiqi's delicate side face, glowing with a faint milky white halo.
"Hehe, you brought it on yourself!" Liu Mo smiled evilly, stretched out his hand, and hugged Lin Shiqi's slender waist.
"Husband, wait a minute, there are some things I have to discuss with you!"
"What?" While speaking, the big hand was not idle, and climbed to the tall Jade Girl Peak along the slender figure.
"That's it..."Lin Shiqi wanted to speak and stopped, "Some time ago, the concubine met a 'Yao Immortal', and he told the concubine..."
"It's not going to be drinking talisman water again, is it?"
It turned out that in order to conceive a child, Lin Shiqi had already eaten three sets of home remedies.
Rushed to the doctor, last month, she even believed the nonsense of He Ru's concubine's room, and before the night fight, she asked Liu Mo and her to drink a bowl of Bao Ling's "child-seeking charm water"!
At that time, Liu Mo was angry, but the problem is that Lin Shiqi did this completely for herself!
Even if you eat soil, you can only bite it hard!
"No, it's not!" Lin Shiqi blushed.
"What's that reputation..."Liu Mo couldn't help but gasp.
"'Yao Shenxian' said that it would be four o'clock in the morning... That's what..."
"Huh? What? β
Lin Shiqi's face was already red to the root of her ears, and she said extremely shyly, "That's it, husband, you... When the time comes... It will be four quarters in time, and it will be finished on time..."
Boy! Liu Mo was almost frightened and fainted. "To end the battle at four o'clock???"
