Chapter 050: The Dragon Stick Method
In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people who trafficked in illicit salt were all poor men who were bitter and hard, desperately trying to open up joints and routes, and as long as they were on the road, they had to fight with the officials and soldiers, fight with the localities, and make money from the fighting.
At this time, after more than 100 years of Chengping, the poor people at the beginning gradually had money, and some people laundered their money, bought land, business, studied for the imperial examination, and transformed into pure white families.
Some of their children continue to sell salt in the inheritance of their father's business, and some of them study to become officials and enlist in the army.
This generation has grown up, and from generation to generation it has added fresh blood, and has attracted local clans and military forces, and finally it has become intertwined, and the sale of smuggled salt has become an official dark gray income channel, which is not on the table, but there are many people who profit from it, from the officials to the people, and the network is getting bigger and bigger, and the sales of smuggled salt in many places far exceed that of official salt.
Who called the official salt only the official government, and some areas only have official salt to sell, I am the master of my territory, and the little officials who do things do not hesitate to add sand to the salt in order to make some money, and some of them are excessive, and they can even add a pound of salt and a pound of sand, so that you can understand how bold people are and how productive the land is.
Cao Zheng's news made Lu Zhishen very angry, and smashed his fist on the wall next to him, banging on the ground, half of the wall collapsed, and the dust was flying: "Do you want people to live, salt, iron, wine, tea, etc., all of them are monopolized, and they are not allowed to be trafficked at will. ”
After a dynastic class is solidified, ordinary people have no chance, and China's feudal system has left a gap, that is, the imperial examination system, which is specially for scholars, for Confucian disciples, and Confucianism is the maker and maintainer of rules, of course, to open a door.
It is said that it is a monopoly, and there are also distributors, but these vendors have high prices and costs, and no one is willing to traffic to the poor countryside, but if you dare to sell your own wine, the government will come to kill you, so Lu Zhishen drinks all day long, but he can't drink any good wine, who is called Erlongshan remote.
"Let's think about it, if we intervene forcefully and kill a way out, it's not feasible, anyway, Erlong Mountain is barren and wild, and the restaurant doesn't believe it, these guys can really not let us make a fortune!"
"But the trade route is not easy to do, the key to selling smuggled salt is the trade route, even if we subdue the salt field and get the salt, there is no way to take the trade route, if we go out and fight, this thing is not done!" Cao Zheng frowned, he thought much more than Lu Zhishen, if he really got the salt field and got the salt, he could only be responsible for the trade route, and he didn't have the confidence to fight a trade route.
Li Zhong was so anxious next to him that his face was red, and he looked up at Lu Zhishen's face several times, as if he had something to say.
Lu Zhishen had already noticed out of the corner of his eyes that Li Zhong was as anxious as a monkey who couldn't sit still, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, let it go, don't hold back!"
Li Zhong's voice was low, a little afraid of being heard, but he said quickly: "The matter of private salt, there are a lot of things, we are all martial artists, we can't do it, but I know a fortune, Qingfeng Village suburbs, there are big families surnamed You, often gambling at home, it is better for us to go to the door, rob You's family, and pay his gambling money!"
Lu Zhishen asked, "How much money can you have?"
"No matter what, the You family has to have a thousand pieces of wealth, and I estimate that the gambling money is not less than a thousand times, and two thousand dollars are worth it, hehe, you and I have two families, a thousand dollars, how about it?"
"Hugh is making noise here, two thousand yuan, you can do it yourself, why bother to call the sprinkle family, if you don't have enough points, don't go, don't go!"
"I can't eat it myself, the You family is easy to say, but there are many soldiers from Qingfeng Village who participate in the gambling there, if you provoke Xiao Li Guanghuarong of Qingfeng Village, it will be miserable, and the little brother is not the opponent of Huarong!"
"Two thousand yuan, we also have nearly two thousand people here, one person is consistent, it's not interesting to do!"
Li Zhong is in his heart, two thousand guan is of course the leader to take the big head, if Taohuashan gets a thousand guan, divide it up to two hundred guan, and then give Zhou Tong two hundred guan, I can't say that he can drop six hundred guan himself, it is a lot of money.
But I can't tell Lu Zhishen about this, and I can't say it for nothing, so that Lu Zhishen looks down on it.
Li Zhong rolled his eyes: "Since Brother Lu can't look down on two thousand yuan, I know a place where there is really money, so I'm afraid that Brother Lu won't dare to go!"
"Tell me, how much money is worth when I do it?"
Cao Zheng also looked at Li Zhong with a look of surprise, he opened a store in Qingzhou, and the customers who came and went from the south to the north passed through a lot, so he had never heard of any rich families nearby, how could there be a lot of money.
"At least it's more than the birthday gang that Liang Shan Huang covered in the first robbery! It depends on whether Brother Lu has the courage to take it. Li Zhong is very determined.
At the beginning, Liang Zhongshu gave his father-in-law Cai Jing a birthday gift, a gold jewelry shell worth 100,000 yuan, or the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi escorted, but was entrusted to the king of heaven Huang Gai to gather seven heroes to give the sweat medicine, this thing made Yang Zhi very aggrieved, pressed and did not do anything with Yang Zhi, so far Yang Zhi still shook the cover of seven people, these seven people forced him to lose the birth gang, desperate, had to fall into the grass.
Lu Zhishen was unhappy, and said dumbfounded: "You mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you are not happy, the Sprinkle family called you to come, you said it, some are not, what are you doing with this, hurry up!"
Seeing that Lu Zhishen was angry, Li Zhong didn't dare to sell Guanzi anymore, his eyes were shining with golden light, and his mouth was about to drool when he spoke: "Qingzhou is not far to the east, there is a Zhaoyuan in Ye County, Laizhou County, this place is rich in gold mines, the government has set up a field supervisor, with an annual output of 10,000 gold, a huge amount, if it can be taken, it will be used for ten years!"
Cao Zheng hurriedly said: "No, no, if this place is lost, the government will definitely stare at us, so it's better to be private salt!"
Li Zhong hurriedly said: "Why not, Zhaoyuan is mountainous, there are more than ten or twenty mountains, if we choose to be strong and strong, and leave after grabbing it, how will the government know that we are doing this? Besides, there is a gap between Leader Yang and Liangshan, it is better to fake the name of Liangshan, they took Leader Yang's 100,000 birthday gang, and they should also take the blame for me!"
Lu Zhishen said: "Although there are mountains, it is easy to leave after getting it, but with so much money, there are always many horses to take care of, how is the defense there? How many people are there? Who has the main general, and what is the ability?" Do you know?"
"There are not many people, there is a Zhaoyuan army arch guard, about 2,500 troops, more than 500 auxiliaries, the military commander Zhou Jieba, Fujian people, the Three Kingdoms when his ancestors with the general of Wu conquered Yizhou, settled in Yizhou, to his generation only returned to the Great Song Dynasty, this person has lived in Fandi for a long time, the words are not clear, extremely ridiculous. I heard that this person admires Taizu, learns to make Taizu Pan Dragon Stick, one hand and two knots, known as invincible, extremely good, it is also interesting to say, his deputy is a woman, surnamed Cai, Cai Niangzi Jianghu is a good worker, there is a good kung fu and good art, I heard that what is called look at my seventy-two changes, it is also very good!"
Taizu Panlong stick is also known as Panlong stick, the stick body has Panlong disc distance to get the name, in fact, it is the nunchucks of later generations, when Song Taizu hit the world with a pole stick, that is, this stick.
