Chapter 96 Bai Sheng in the salt field
The next day, after practicing martial arts, Zhao Zhen had breakfast with Bai Zhi and Cuilian. Today Zhao Zhen wants to receive Jin Cuilian, and Bai Zhi will not go to the hospital today, but will decorate it at home. Fan.
Zhao Zhen asked Cuilian: "Cuilian, your sister Bai often goes to the hospital to sit in the hospital during the day, what do you want to do in the future?"
Jin Cuilian said: "Master, my slave family I haven’t been able to sing songs since elementary school, and I really don’t know what I can do in the village. Now I have to play alone in the backyard, which is better with [Yun Xi] accompanying me.”
Zhao Zhendao. : "This is not a long-term solution. It is not appropriate to stay alone at home for a long time. Yuanli found a yard to live with your father temporarily. Today I will go and clean up first, and then I will carry you to the house at night. From now on. How about you go with your father to the yard next to the tavern and teach the girls to sing during the day so that you don’t get bored?”
Jin Cuilian said: "You all listen to the master." Jin Cuilian tidied up, hugged [Yunxi], and went to prepare with Mr. Jin.
Time is running out, and Jin Cuilian’s home is no better than Bai Zhi’s. All her belongings are gone, and the father and daughter only have a few clothes. Zhao Zhen ordered Zhao Yuanli to prepare the dowry, and it was a good thing in a hurry. In this way, he agreed with the Jin family and his daughter, and all the music and music in the wedding room were saved. It's just tonight that we have a big bowl of wine and a big plate of meat with all the heroes, and have a wedding banquet.
Sent Jin Cuilian off, Zhao Zhen went to the front hall, where Liu Tang had been waiting for a long time. The two met and Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Liu Tang, there were many people talking yesterday, and I saw that you still haven't finished talking. Today, brother, you can talk to me in detail."
Liu Tang said: " Master, there were so many people yesterday, so it’s hard to say something. There are a few things I want to report to the Master. The first thing I wanted to do was to ask Silang Qiu in a quiet place when I returned home: "Liu Dalang, how many years have you been a senior official in your family?" How much salt can I ask for? '
Because I don't know the owner's intentions, I said vaguely: "Qiu Silang, I will tell the owner now when I go back. If it is profitable, I will definitely come back as much as I need in a year." , these two ships are definitely not enough. There are thousands of large livestock raised in my family's farm, which can't be separated from the salt. Qiu Silang, your family's output is not enough for me to load the ship once a year. .'
Qiu Silang said: "Liu Dalang, you are looking down on your brother. It's just because the former transshipment envoy collected several ships of salt before he left. The new transshipment envoy arrived and pressed hard, so we handed over some more. In this way, our family Not much salt is stored. There are well households here, and the salt frying is open. Excluding the salt turned in, I can boil fifty or seventy kilo of good salt a year.
It’s just that the salt official is so heartbroken that he is only willing to give 300 wen per stone of salt, which makes us and other salt households slow down. Apart from handing over these, I cook some random things to take care of errands, and prepare a few stones at home for emergencies, but I also come to buy private salt and cook it again. If my brother still wants me, I'd better make preparations in advance. ’
After listening to Qiu Silang’s words, I left a sentence, ‘Qiu Silang, after I report it to the high officials, I will send you a message again. I think I still want it. If you believe me, make preparations in advance. '" Speaking of this, Liu Tang looked at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, you are thoughtful. Zhao Yuanli told me this morning that half of the salt was put into the warehouse yesterday and half of the salt was transported to the grocery stores in each village. Now they are all sold out. There are still many farmers who have not bought it, and today they have shipped the remaining half to each village for sale. The inferior official salt saved in each village has been sent to several pastures for use. In a few days, we will have a trip with our brothers. "
Liu Tang nodded and said, "I wonder how much salt the village owner wants to buy this time? ”
Zhao Zhen said: "You must have a year's savings, even if you buy it for three to five thousand dan. It's just a waste to go to the space-time ship. Brothers, you can ask around to find out what is missing. It will be profitable to go back and forth like this."
Liu Tang said: "Master, although there are fields there, there are many kinds of vegetables, there are few grain growers, and there is not much meat of all kinds. I lived there for seven days, eating only fish, shrimps, crabs and shellfish every day. It's rare to find meat. These two kinds of meat can be shipped without worrying about selling." Zhao Zhen couldn't help but sighed, never expecting Liu Tang to say this. It can be seen that Liu Tang also used his heart. He immediately said: "This is the best. When we are ready, we have to go to Binzhou Field again."
After hearing this, Liu Tang nodded in agreement and said with some hesitation: "There is one more thing. It’s up to the village owner to make a decision.”
Zhao Zhen said, “Brother, it doesn’t matter.”
Liu Tang said: "Qiu Silang told me that in addition to salt, there are many marine products here, and occasionally there are treasures. The salt official has set the price very low, and there are many people who are unwilling to sell. Qiu Silang asked me to send a message to the owner of the village, if there is demand."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, let me think about this for a while before I reply."
Liu Tang said: "The last thing is the Diaokou Township Youda I mentioned last night Lang Chu, during the past few days of collecting salt at Qiu Silang's place, Brother Han Bolong and I went to Diaokou Township at night and made inquiries. It was indeed as Qiu Silang said that his place was owned by the government. Tinghu, please be more careful. I need a large amount of sea salt because of the leak. You Dalang said to me: "This transfer will have to be replaced within three years. It was like this when I first came. If it doesn't come out in three months, he will definitely be with me." The salt merchants colluded to make private salt, and the salt was distributed according to the ratio. If Dalang still needs sea salt after two months, he can come to my place and buy a piece of rock salt for free.'
I asked: "How much salt can you have?" You Dalang said, "You have to have less, and you have to have more. No matter how much you have, you can always fry it. The transfer envoy only wants money, but he doesn't share the salt with him." If you save money and sell it yourself, you will be happier. "Master, do you want to try this salt road?" Zhao Zhen said: "With these two salt fields, there is more room for maneuver, which is naturally good." It’s just that if there are officials involved, you should be more careful. Selling illegal salt is also a crime of beheading, and the head should not be regarded as a reward.”
Liu Tang said: "Don't worry, Master, I will take care of it."
The two chatted a lot more, and then Liu Tang said goodbye and left. Zhao Yuanli was busy arranging the concubine arrangement and had no time to distract him. Zhao Zhen had a talk with Liu Tang to find out what was going on in the salt field. Since tonight he was hosting a banquet for all the heroes to celebrate his concubine, and there were no other things planned during the day, Zhao Zhen had nothing to do for a while.
Zhao Zhen got up and was about to go to Dongyuan to practice martial arts when he saw Yang Lin approaching with a couple. Yang Lin came forward to introduce him. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen sent people to Dongyuan to invite Chao Gai.

After a while Chao Gai walked into the front hall. Bai Sheng and his wife saw them, fell to the ground and bowed, saying: "King of Heaven, Long time no see, always nice. "
Chao Gai stepped forward to help the two of them up and said: "It's hard to say, I suffered a disaster a few days ago, but now I don't care about it, so I joined the mayor Zhao and practiced martial arts every day. Training makes life happy. When I saw that Zhao Xiang was employing people, I thought that Brother Bai Sheng would not be able to make a living for a long time, so I recommended you. "Bai Sheng said: "Be more careful about keeping your integrity, and you will be proud of yourself. As a helper, the young man is quite content in Anle Village. He only goes to help people in the village, but he can still make a living. I met Brother Yang Lin the day before yesterday and took out the letter from Baozheng. I was very happy to hear about the reputation of Mayor Zhao in the world recently. , I sold my belongings and came to live with Mayor Zhao. From now on, I need Mayor Zhao to take care of me more." He said goodbye to Zhao Zhen again.
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother Bai Sheng, don't worry, there are many good men in the village. I am about to take a concubine tonight, and everyone has gathered together. I will take this opportunity to introduce you to you."
Bai Sheng said: "This is the best."
Zhao Zhen said: "Today is in a hurry. Brother Bai Sheng, you and your wife will go to the east garden wing to settle down. Tomorrow, let Zhao Yuanli arrange a yard nearby for you and your wife. You two will go to rest today and come back at night. Let’s have wine.”
After hearing this, Bai Sheng and his wife thanked them again, and followed the village manager’s guidance to go to the East Garden to rest.
