Chapter 158 Salt Mine

Yizhou Mu was stunned for a few seconds, and then sneered: "What does the King of Shuchuan mean by bringing these pieces of armor here?"

At that moment, Chen Mu told everything about what happened at the foot of Shu Mountain.

But Yizhou Mu suddenly refuted these three gangs.

"These street gangsters are really hateful. They dare to build military armor privately to attack and kill the prince. I will ask people to issue a wanted order later and swear to arrest them and bring them to justice!"

Chen Mu glanced at him: "Master Zhou Mu, please stop pretending and hand him over."

"Maybe these gangsters are in my house? King Shuchuan, please don't joke!"

Seeing that he was still arguing, Chen Mu ignored him and just waved to Han Xiner.

"Search for me!"

After saying that, hundreds of soldiers from Sichuan Gate rushed into the mansion and then started searching around.

"Chen Mu! This is my Yizhou Mufu. If you are doing something wrong, I will definitely report it to the Holy One and punish you!"

As the shepherd of a state, this was the first time someone had made trouble in front of him like this. He immediately shouted angrily at Chen Mu and tried to scare him away, but it was obviously of no use.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Go ahead and sue."

Seeing that nothing could be done, Yizhou Mu had no choice but to let the situation develop.

"My lord, I found it!"

Before he could have a cup of tea, he heard a shout from inside the house, and then Yu Hua was pulled out.

"How...why is this person in my house..."

Chen Mu didn't bother to pay attention, and didn't think that with this assassination, he could go to the emperor and bring him down. Besides, now was not the time to deal with him.

"Walk!"

Pressing on Yu Hua, everyone left the Prefecture Mufu.

Looking at the departing figure, Yizhou Mu's face became more and more ferocious.

"You little bastard, keep being arrogant. When the Tibetan army arrives next year, I will have to chop your head off!"

After Zi Gu said this, the Yizhou Shepherd rolled his sleeves and entered the inner courtyard.

Chen Mu and his party followed Yu Hua to a bamboo forest outside the city.

Along the way, Yu Hua has long been in despair. Now that he has been abandoned by Yizhou Mu, no one in this world can save him.

Who could have expected that this scholar would be so courageous that he directly sent troops to surround the governor's mansion.

Chen Mu sat on a piece of bluestone, gently smelling the fragrance in the bamboo forest, and then said slowly: "Aren't you going to beg for mercy?"

Yu Hua let out a long sigh: "Succeed as king and lose as bandit. I accept my fate. I only hope that bad luck will come my way. You killed my son, but I have tried my best to avenge him!"

"Haha, God bless me, there is nothing I can do."

Yu Hua sneered and said: "Don't worry. We who are messing around in the world have karma on our hands. In the end, who of us can really get away with it? Sooner or later, we will have to pay back."

"Do it!"

After saying that, Han Xiner stepped forward with a knife and cut a small incision on Yu Hua's abdomen. Then he pulled off the end of the bamboo and connected the intestines with a rope.

As soon as the bamboo was loosened, all the internal organs in Yu Hua's belly were ripped out. The scene was extremely bloody.

At this point, the matter on the underworld in Yizhou has been completely resolved.

After returning to Bajun City, Chen Mu thought for a while and then went to the school training ground for a walk.

Er Jin has gathered around 7,000 subordinates under his command. This can be regarded as the peak moment of Chen Mu's underworld career.

However, when he actually saw this group of people, Chen Mu realized that something was wrong. A large number of people lay motionless on the ground and did not participate in the training team.

"Jing Tang'er, what's going on with those more than a thousand people?"

Liu Jingtang shook his head helplessly: "They are all former members of the Three Gangs. They took excessive amounts of Five Stone Powder before, and their bodies are not as strong as some women. They get tired even after a little training. No matter how hard they beat them, they won't move. There is no hope."

"Then simply don't ask them to participate in the training. The business of bookstores and textile factories will soon extend to all parts of the country, so I will set up an escort agency and let these people transport the goods."

Liu Jingtang agreed: "This is the best. If these stray people are released to the people, something will happen sooner or later."

A few days later, the Sihai Escort Agency was officially established.

There are two thousand people in total, so there is no need to worry about stores being spread all over the place in the future and goods not being supplied in time.

After all, after sleeping with this woman, Wang Zimo, this woman became the general manager of the bookstore and directly shifted her business focus to the more prosperous Jiangnan area.

With such a long distance, it is imperative to establish a delivery agency.

Before I knew it, it was approaching late winter.

Nowadays, the country's economy is getting worse and worse. In addition to the rising prices, what is even more daunting is the current price of salt.

The price has already reached an astonishingly high price of fifty cents per tael.

Most of the salt used in Longxia is obtained by drying in the Yangzhou coastal area and then transported to the inland, which is not only time-consuming but also produces very little.

Therefore, the price of salt has not been low.

This also gave Chen Mu the idea of ​​selling salt. Although selling salt in ancient times required special approval from the court, he was a specially appointed king by the emperor, so he had this power.

Sichuan and Sichuan are already rich in mineral salt. In previous lives, Zigong Wanxian County was a famous salt production area.

With Chen Mu's current power, his men quickly found a salt mine in the upper reaches of the Min River.

Although the scale is not huge, it is enough for Chen Mu to mine.

The wealth we have now is all accumulated by the people. This time, we are not trying to make money, but simply want to do something for the people.

In less than ten days, Xiahou returned to Lihe Village with several carts of mineral salt.

"Brother Mu, the mineral salt you want."

Chen Mu looked at the carts of salt mines and nodded slightly: "I built another shed in the back mountain. Let's pull these over."

With the rapid development of industry, Chen Mu almost chopped down three hills in the back mountain.

In his later plans, the printing factory, textile factory, and salt factory each occupied a hilltop.

However, before Chen Mu had time to deal with the salt mines, Liu Si and others learned the news and came to ask questions.

"Master, I heard Xiahou say, do you want to eat these mineral salts?!"

Chen Mu frowned: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Pu Yang on the side also reminded: "Why are you suddenly confused? Everyone knows that mineral salt is poisonous. If you sell this salt, do you know how many people will die?"

"In the past, there was a family in the village who bought mineral salt by mistake, and the whole family was poisoned to death. You, the head of the family, must not be stupid."

Everyone was very happy when they heard that Chen Mu wanted to sell salt. After all, as the king of Shuchuan, Chen Mu was qualified to go to the coast to sell salt. This would also lower the price of salt in Yizhou.

But who would have expected that he would actually want to sell these mineral salts. If he really sold them, how many people would be killed?

Chen Mu just smiled faintly, then turned around and went to the kitchen to take out a jar of salt.

"Daughter-in-law, is this the jar I gave you last time?"

Liu Si nodded in confusion: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"This is the salt I made from the salt mine before. Do you think there is anything wrong with it after eating it for so long?"
