Chapter 706 Illicit Salt Trader

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The mainstay flows in the middle, taken from the admonishment in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Yanzi: "I once followed the emperor to help the river, and the turtle held the left turtle in its mouth to flow into the mainstay."

But Xiao Han didn't expect that this stone was used to describe the highest honor of a minister.

It is actually in the middle of the Yellow River, blocking the waterway from Chang'an to Luoyang! In this way, his originally cost-effective waterway chain seems to be in ruins...

Xiao Han was worried, and the poor boatman finally couldn't bear it and fell drunk. He lay on the ground and snored like thunder!

Look at the sky, it's already afternoon.

It was impossible for Xiao Han to camp here, but the two boatmen looked as sleepy as dead pigs.

He felt that if he left things alone, he would probably not see the two of them again tomorrow.

"Stupid, you stay here for a while! When they wake up, don't forget to tell them that our family will hire them for a period of time and the treatment will be favorable!"

After thinking about it, I decided to leave the poor idiot behind! After all, it was getting late, and if I didn’t rush home quickly, it would probably get dark.

He got into the carriage. At this time, Zhang Qiang, who had climbed up early, was dozing off against the carriage.

Awakened by the sound of Xiao Han coming in, Zhang Qiang slowly opened his eyes and said feebly: "Are you tired of coming all the way here? Don't we have a shipbuilding place in Hanzhong? Why do you want it here again?

Get a boat? You like boats so much?!"

When there is only one person sitting in the carriage, it is very comfortable, but when there are two people sitting in it, it immediately becomes crowded.

Xiao Han pushed Zhang Qiang to the side with great effort, and found a comfortable position to sit down. Then he said lazily: "Nonsense! How good is the boat? Is it not as comfortable as this old car? And how much can a boat pull?

Do you know? Even a group of cows can't pull it!"

"It's useless to pull it. Without water, it's just a pile of rotten wood! I'm too lazy to take a boat anyway. That thing makes me dizzy when I get on it!"

"Hey, what you're saying is that if the car didn't have wheels, wouldn't it be just a pile of broken wood? Besides, dizziness on board a boat is a disease! It needs to be treated!"

"Oh? How to cure this?" Zhang Qiang opened his eyes and stared at Xiao Han and asked.

Xiao Han rolled his eyes: "It's simple, just stun it and chop it!"

"..."

Xiao Han's treatment method of cutting off the hands and cutting off the feet for painful hands and feet is very popular in the West today! Many executioners turned out to be good doctors!

However, in Zhang Qiang's case, this trick obviously doesn't work.

When Zhang Qiang was squeezing Xiao Han's neck, almost to the point of rolling his eyes and unable to turn back, Zhang Qiang let go of his hand angrily, and finally did not forget to rub it on Xiao Han's clothes.

I just pinched him and his saliva came out, it was so disgusting...

"Ahem, murder!" Xiao Han said, holding his neck and sighing.

Zhang Qiang waved his hands proudly and said: "Murder? If I want to murder you, why would I go to such great lengths? I can just take it out and bury it while you are asleep in the middle of the night!"

"You... you are cruel!" Xiao Han glared at Zhang Qiang fiercely, took a few deep breaths of air, and then calmed down and continued to ask: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did it take you so long to come back?

Didn’t you say you would come back after the New Year?”

When Zhang Qiang, who had always been very arrogant, heard this, his face turned red for some reason, and he stammered: "Well... your sister-in-law was not feeling well, so she set off a little later!"

"Not feeling well?" Xiao Han looked suspiciously at Zhang Qiang, who felt something was wrong, and suddenly guessed: "Isn't she pregnant again?"

"Hehe..." Zhang Qiang giggled twice, but this time he had no objection to Xiao Han's guess.

Seeing Zhang Qiang's despicable appearance, how could Xiao Han not know that he had guessed correctly?! After being stunned for a moment, he immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet and said: "Beast! I haven't gotten married yet, and you have the second one! It's just like

Shameless!”

Zhang Qiang didn't care about Xiao Han's accusations! He even said to him confidently: "Bah, bah, bah! Who are you talking about? Brother, am I still a beast? This time I went back to visit relatives and saw a guy in Jinyang who was about my age.

He has four sons alone! If I want to be shameless, what does that mean to him?"

"Bah! Still shameless!"

Xiao Han doesn't care what reasons Zhang Qiang comes up with, he is just nakedly jealous now!

Why are you and Xue Pan still in a long-distance love race while these beasts are already working tirelessly to create humans? No matter how you look at it, you are at a huge loss!

Looking at Xiao Han who was extremely annoyed, Zhang Qiang smiled proudly, waved his hands and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this! Xue Pan is a good girl, worth your wait! Besides, with his elder brother Xue Shou's petty attitude, you and I will offend him too.

Sorry! You'd better wait with peace of mind!

What? I just heard Xiaodong say that Zhang Liang from Chang'an offended you today? Do you need me to demolish that guy's house to vent your anger?"

"No! I don't want to get involved with him, whether it's good or bad!"

Xiao Han replied angrily, he had always kept a respectful distance from those guys who dared to rebel under Xiao Lizi!

Others don’t know, but he doesn’t know?

Xiao Lizi made his fortune by relying on rebellion, and became emperor by relying on rebellion! In the field of rebellion, he is absolutely invincible!

Anyone who rebelled under him could still take advantage of him, and it seemed that even when he died, not one of them could do it! I don’t know why those idiots continued to attack him and chop their heads off!

"That's up to you, a guy selling private salt is not worthy of our brothers' action."

Zhang Qiang is not as far-reaching as Xiao Han thought, he is simply not interested in this family from five hundred years ago.

"Huh? He sells private salt?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhang Qiang say this word, Xiao Han became interested and quickly asked him: "Why don't I know about this? How does he sell it? Where does the salt come from?"

"Where does salt come from? From the sea, of course!"

Zhang Qiang was amused by Xiao Han's idiot question. He was about to make fun of him, but found that Xiao Han looked impatient. He had no choice but to put away his smile and explained to Xiao Han: "Let you get to know each other better."

People in the court, you have to do it! Don’t you know? His Zhang family used to be active in Shandong!

Later, Zhang Liang joined Wagang Village, and after the failure of Wagang Village, he surrendered to us! At that time, we were short of salt, so Zhang Liang decided to do this, and he didn’t know what connections to use, so he shipped the salt from Shandong!"

"Your Majesty, he doesn't care about this matter? Hasn't it been a monopoly on salt and iron since ancient times?"

Xiao Han is not surprised that Zhang Liang can get salt. There is a way for snakes, and there is a way for rats! What really makes him strange is: since Zhang Qiang knows this, there is no reason that Li Yuan doesn't know! Then why can he let him

So arrogant?

"Salt and iron franchise?"

Zhang Qiang saw that Xiao Han was serious and couldn't help but sneered at him: "How dare you say this? Who in Chang'an now can produce more ironware than our family?"

"Aren't I sharing the country's worries?" Xiao Han said angrily.

Zhang Qiang sighed and said: "You are sharing the country's worries, why are others not? When the east road was cut off, Haiyan couldn't get through! Although there are salt wells in Sichuan, it is not our territory. If we don't give it to us, we won't get it.

Give it to us! If Zhang Liang can get salt at this time, it’s too late for Your Majesty to be happy, so where can you take care of other things?”

"Oh? Didn't I take out the salt from the salt flat? Why, it doesn't work?"
