Chapter 423 Salt shovel

"These things are all about the Lin family's business. If they are shabby, other businesses are unwilling to deal with you."

After walking a few steps behind Jiang Feng, Lin Yutang couldn't help but step forward to explain. Naturally, he didn't know that his business was all about the "distinguished guest" in front of him.

Jiang Feng was not the person in charge of these things. He didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Yutang's explanation. He just waved his hand and signaled that he understood. He entered the house he prepared for him. More than a dozen guards also sent the servants sent by Lin Yutang and became busy on their own.

In Jining, except for the river yamen, these salt merchants are the most important. They are used to being arrogant and domineering in their daily lives. Because Lin Yutang is the foundation left by Jiang Feng back then, the business of official salt is even more huge. Lin Yutang is a person who is just a word among salt merchants. Jiang Feng's attitude towards him naturally makes Lin Yutang very uncomfortable, but in the Jiang family army system, Lin Yutang is not worth mentioning in terms of level or importance. Jiang Feng's attitude towards him can be regarded as "appropriate".

But Lin Yutang certainly didn't think so. He was sure that he felt uncomfortable. He wanted to continue to make some polite words, but Jiang Feng's guards were unwilling to say more when they saw Jiang Feng, so they just sent the person out politely and closed the gate of the courtyard.

Lin Yutang stood in front of the closed courtyard gate for a while. The butler of Lin's mansion hung from behind from a distance, but at this time he followed him trotted all the way. When he saw his master, his face looked a little ugly, and he hurriedly said:

"Master, I can't be more familiar with these local buns."

Years of prosperity and prosperity have made Jining people feel superior. They look down on the merchants from the north, especially the salt merchants, and the words of the butler are ordinary. When Lin Yutang heard this, he glared at the butler next to him with a vicious look and cursed in a low voice:

"This is the distinguished guest who the clan leader personally wrote to me to entertain me well. What are you talking too much about, a slave!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the yard gate, but his face turned much better after cursing. There was no place where he was angry on the butler's face, so he quickly followed him. He heard something else from Lin Yutang's words just now. After Lin Yutang left the garden where Jiang Feng lived, he spoke to the butler next to him:

"Let everyone who serves should be careful and don't say too much. If Boss Jiang has done anything, you can keep an eye on me."

The housekeeper was stunned and quickly bowed to respond. Sanjiang Commercial Bank naturally had its own semicolon in a prosperous commercial city like Jining. Jiang Feng's identity is still Jiang Huifeng, the head of Sanjiang Commercial Bank. This identity is quite normal. The Lin family was a local tyrant on Linjia Island, and naturally had many business deals in Shandong. When Jiang Feng broke Linjia Island and moved thousands of Lin family members to other places.

The Lin family and other tribesmen were not very touched. After all, this had nothing to do with sea trade. When the Jiang family army took root in Incheon, Shandong, a very well-managed area, naturally could not be given up easily. Therefore, many of the lurking relationships in the past were activated.

For example, some green forest forces led by the Jiang family army, the big and small salt owls, and the Liu family's remnants who had experienced the Chen Shizi and the Wendao Rebellion. These external systems of the Lin family are of course the best choice. These external systems have not had much contact with our family, but they were only able to make a fortune until their family went to North Korea, but they didn't know who they were with, so they were the best placement line in the Ming Dynasty.

The salt merchants were well-informed, but they knew nothing about the sea. The private salt transactions were all in the inland of the Ming Dynasty. People on the sea were afraid that there would be too much salt, so what kind of salt business would be there?

In this era, information and transportation have not yet reached the state of mutual communication in various industries, and it is normal for each industry to be separated by mountains. In Lin Yutang's eyes, "Boss Jiang" is probably just a large business owner who has business dealings with his own business. The Lin family must have many businesses in North Korea to communicate with Sanjiang Commercial Bank in Liao Town, so it is natural for the patriarch to instruct him to be polite to Boss Jiang.

However, Jiang Huifeng was too arrogant. He had seen Sanjiang Trading Company in Jining. It was indeed a first-class big business, but those who do business always pay attention to being kind and making money. Boss Jiang has a vague sense of reserve, and he doesn't look like a business person at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Yutang's pace unconsciously accelerated a little, and the butler was jogging to keep up. Lin Yutang walked into his inner house with a lot of twists and turns. In his garden, there were some places where the servants could not come in without permission. The inner house was one of them. The butler behind him followed without making any noise. Generally speaking, the butler was the owner's confidant, so naturally he would not avoid anything.

"You go and the Black Dog in the afternoon and spend a while, pay them the money for this month and settle down next to our house."

The housekeeper quickly bowed and agreed. Lin Yutang stopped in front of the inner house and said with a little nervousness:

"I always think that Boss Jiang is wrong, but I can't tell you why. I'll send a few girls over here and buy the best banquets for me. Before we find out the details, we will serve the salt transport officer first."

After saying this, Lin Yutang was about to open the door, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and called the butler who was about to leave, and said with a gentle smile:

"Lin Liu, our brothers are in love with life and death. I will be relieved to do these things for you. Go!"

After hearing this, Butler Lin Liu hurriedly looked grateful and said:

"If there was no master, there would be no young man today. I will do my business. Master, please don't worry. I'm going to do it."

Fortunately, the clothes were all worn thickly at this time, otherwise, you would have to see that the cold sweat on Butler Lin Liu had collapsed. It is true that the two of them are of the same clan, but there are thousands of people in the Lin family in North Korea. Including the size of Shandong, there are more than 10,000 people. What kind of relatives are there between them? The "life and death friendship" does not mean that they are in friendship, but that they are already grasshoppers on the same line, and no one should want to run away.

If you are a person who specializes in salt eating in Jining, you must have heard of the name of the black dog, which is the most famous "salt shovel". No matter it is an official salt private salt industry, a pound of salt or two pounds of salt is not worth a few dollars. However, every time this industry is a big deal that starts from a thousand pounds. Ordinary green forest villages or roaming horses do not touch these salt teams. When passing by, you will be given the money.

First, when Jiang Feng was in Shandong, a salt transportation order was established. The salt merchants and the Green Forest heroes along the way each had a set of rules for sharing money. These Green Forest people specifically robbed salt merchants in the salt team that were not within the scope of the order. Second, even if the salt merchants did not have Jiang Feng's support, they were also powerful and powerful. After offending them, revenge was also a headache.

Although that's the case, it doesn't mean that the business of the salt merchants is so peaceful. Even if Jiang Feng set up a plan and the guild is dispatched, the salt merchants still have conflicts with each other. If two salt merchants who sell the same place will share the share equally.

As long as another person cannot transport salt, another person can make up for it. This is a matter of double profits, especially Jiang Feng, the sword hanging over their heads, is far overseas, and the deterrence is a little worse after all. These salt merchants are harmonious on the surface, but the secret methods are endless.

The 'Salt Scraper' group of people came into being. They were all desperate people hired by salt merchants. They specifically focused on the other party's salt goods. After robbing the salt goods, they either took them back or destroyed them on the spot. They rarely injured the lives of the trucks and boatmen. There is a priority called "shuts of salt".

However, when you use a salt shovel, others are hired according to the cat and tiger. The salt shovels are not polite to each other. The flesh and blood of each other is flying with swords and guns, and gradually the methods become more and more ruthless. I don’t know who set the rules. If the salt shovel is used, the salt goods will be eaten by three points. The price of a large number of salt goods is not a small amount. After many Green Forests’ calculations, this salt shovel can make a lot more money than the road protection, and they all join this industry one after another.

According to legend, even the army of Shandong's garrison and the personal soldiers and soldiers in command had many salt shovels. The salt shovels used by big salt merchants like Lin Yutang are naturally not ordinary characters. It is said that this "black dog" was a member of the horse team under Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Later, because Lu Bing lost power in the prosecution case, he was encircled at home. The private troops under his subordinates who were supported by money disappeared. Some were taken over by other powerful people, and some were wandering in the world. Lin Yutang and the butler could not be sure of their origin, but that skill was real.

There were a total of fifty or sixty people under the Black Dog, but when he was robbing salt, he killed the 500 people in Mengshan and cut off the heads of more than 200 people. These 500 people in Mengshan were all bandits!

With great ability, the asking price is only high. The price of black dogs once was 1,000 taels. Lin Yutang was not willing to get too involved. Such a knife in his hand hurts others and himself, and it was too troublesome. He was about to send him away, but when Jiang Feng came, he kept these people...
