Cold sweat broke out on the backs of the three of them, and they realized in hindsight that they had walked away from the gate of hell.
One person reacted and screamed: "Sir, our people are still outside."
Yang Heshu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, they don't know anything, and those people won't make things difficult for them."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Among them, the purchasing officer from Yunzhou said sadly: "Our superior asked me not to offend anyone, so I have offended someone, right?"
The other two nodded and looked at him sympathetically.
The purchasing officer in Yunzhou wanted to cry, "It's been three days since I last received the letter. Why don't we adults let me go back instead of staying here?"
Because their superior officer had just transported the salt back to Yunzhou and had not yet had time to write to him.
The governor of Yunzhou saw that he had brought back three carts of salt. He checked the quality and found that it was a little finer than what he had purchased from Jiangnan before. He was very satisfied and said, "How is it? Have you seen the salt farm in Beihai County? How is the salt production?
?Can I still buy it in the next quarter?”
"Back to your lord, I went to see the salt farm in Beihai County. It's super big, and I saw people harvesting salt. I think it should be fine not only in the next quarter, but also in the next year, and even the next year."
He added: "But we didn't buy this batch of salt at the Beihai County Salt Farm."
The governor of Yunzhou frowned, "Where did you buy it? Are you even a second-hand person?"
"I haven't tried it before, but this is produced in Shouguang County, Qingzhou," he exclaimed: "I didn't know until I arrived in Qingzhou that it turns out that salt is not only produced in Beihai County, but the largest salt field is still in Beihai County."
When they followed the soldiers from Beihai County to Qingzhou, they did not go to Beihai County immediately. The other party took them directly to the Qingzhou Governor's Office, and then told the officials inside that they were here to buy salt.
So there was chaos.
What happened next was so chaotic and noisy that it took him a long time to figure out what was going on.
They stayed in Qingzhou for one night in a daze, and the next day they saw the magistrate of Shouguang County who had arrived after a long journey, and several carts of salt came with him.
He said with a complicated face: "I heard that in the past, only Beihai County in Qingzhou produced salt. In addition to supplying the county, the sea salt produced was only supplied to the Qingzhou Governor's Office, and then the Governor's Office distributed it to each county. Occasionally, there was more and more was supplied to Qingzhou Governor's Office.
The nearest is Qizhou.”
The governor of Yunzhou sat on a chair with his legs crossed, holding tea, and asked leisurely: "What next?"
Others also pricked up their ears curiously to listen to the story.
"Then at the beginning of this year, Beihai County had handed over all the salt they were supposed to hand over in the first half of the year, and the governor's office followed the usual practice of decentralizing salt. Shouguang County learned a new salt-making method from Beihai County last year and also made salt.
They have produced a lot of salt, but they have no experience. Now, not only can their salt not be sold for the time being, but they have to spend money to buy salt from the governor's office as usual."
Yunzhou Governor: "...Is this because I am busy with spring plowing, so my brain is also busy?"
The official also smiled, and then said: "So as soon as they heard that I was going to buy salt, they immediately shipped the salt over."
The governor of Yunzhou sat up slightly and asked seriously: "Since they are so anxious to sell, why didn't you lower the price?"
Official: "...I suppressed it, but I didn't suppress it."
He said: "The soldier who led me there was also there, and he was a stupid young man. I stuffed him with a bunch of money, but he turned around and came out completely bald, saying that we had already discussed the price...
…”
The official said with a sad look on his face: "The governor of Qingzhou was also there at that time. It is not good to be a rogue for a humble position, so..."
The governor of Yunzhou curled his lips regretfully, "What are the scoundrels afraid of? It's not Yunzhou. It won't be embarrassing in front of relatives and friends."
The official pretended not to hear and continued: "But the official is still worried about the salt in the next season, so he went to Beihai County."
He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, do you know how the salt in Beihai County is made?"
Seeing how mysterious he was, the governor of Yunzhou raised his eyes and asked, "Did you grow it in the fields?"
He patted his thigh and said, "Although it's wrong, it's not far off."
The governor of Yunzhou's eyes lit up and he lowered his crossed legs. Others also became curious, "Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. They dug out fields and introduced seawater into the fields. I heard that they exposed them to the sun and added a few processes in the middle, and the salt came out."
Yunzhou Governor: "What process?"
"I don't know. I could only take a cursory look at the time. I saw a long-term worker shoveling salt and followed it. But after all, it was a secret. I asked Manager Zhou of the salt factory about his ability to eat, but he just laughed.
No words." He said: "But I can also confirm that Qingzhou has plenty of salt, and I heard that not only Qingzhou is making salt, but also Laizhou and Dengzhou are making salt, all of which are made from Beihai County.
Salt method.”
"They call it the sun-salt method."
The governor of Yunzhou thought about it and said, "Bai Shan is so brave. In order to shoulder the burden for the prince and cause trouble for Jiangnan, he has given up all his ability to eat."
"What else? You said it all in one breath, right?"
"Beihai County has built a new wharf. I heard people say that Beihai County's official salt goes out from the wharf. To the north and south, all places that previously relied on Jiangnan's official salt have been replaced by Beihai County."
The governor of Yunzhou felt emotional after hearing this. He slapped the armrest of his chair in excitement and said happily: "Jiangnan is about to end!"
The official also grinned and said, "I think so too."
"Then why are you still standing there? Write a letter asking our people to come back, so you don't have to wait on those uncles."
"yes."
At this time, the salt that went out through the official ship finally arrived where they should go after being transported by land.
As soon as the salt arrived, the officials from various places took it apart to check the quality. After confirming that the quality was not bad, they nodded with satisfaction and then wrote a letter. On one side, they thanked your majesty, the prince, and the magistrate of Beihai County; on the other side, they impeached Jiangnan.
Salt policy...
While Bai Shanjing was waiting for everyone's reaction, the two children who had changed the most in the house were the two children. They grew up in the wind, but they hadn't been seen for seven or eight days. When he came back from Jiawa Salt Field and Longchi Wharf, Bai Jingxing
Already able to stand up.
And she also found her own hobby - eating her own feet.
I don’t know why, but she has been obsessed with chewing her own feet recently. If she doesn’t pay attention, she will lift up her little feet, grab them with both hands, then hold them in front of her, open her mouth and chew on them...
After the originally quiet and steady Bai Ruoyu got along with her for a while, she also learned to eat her own feet...
But his limbs didn't seem to be very coordinated, and he often had to work hard to eat. So after trying several times and finding that he still couldn't eat, he simply turned half over, facing Bai Jingxing sideways, and then opened his mouth to nibble on her feet.
, just treat it as if you have eaten it...
When Bai Shan entered the room, Bai Jingxing opened his mouth and started crying. Bai Shan happened to witness it and insisted that Bai Ruoyu had scared his daughter into crying, so he stepped forward to separate the two...
