These Miao people's villages are the closest to the plains, but they usually need nearly 300 Wen per pound of salt, let alone going deep into the mountains! Salt there sells for 500 Wen per pound, which is considered cheap!
Finally, Jiayin said: "I'm not worried about anything else. What I'm most worried about now is that there is a group of people in the town. I suspect they are the same private salt dealers from before! And they probably want to control the salt roads in the mountains!
Hearing Jiayin's words, Zaidan put down the pancake in his hand and said loudly: "Jiayin, don't be afraid of them! In order to let the village eat such cheap salt, we people will not hesitate to send our lives here! More What's more, according to what you said, the number of people on both sides is almost the same now, so we are not afraid of them anymore! If you want to fight, just fight! Just kill all these private traders, and then add the message that you sell salt in the mountains, everyone will trust you! "
After Zadan finished speaking, everyone nodded excitedly, saying that they would fight bravely and kill all those private salt dealers!
At this time Zaidan said again: "Jiayin, although I am a warrior in the village, I also know that my mind is not as flexible as yours! So tomorrow you have the final say, we will start the fight when you say! From now on, You are our leader!"
Jiayin was filled with pride when he heard this! With more than forty brothers from the same clan by his side, he felt that he didn't have to worry about those private salt dealers at all! So he stood up and said loudly: "Okay! Brothers, if you trust me, you must get a batch of cheap salt for our village tomorrow! No, I want the village to always have cheap salt!"
Everyone was about to cheer when they heard his words, but Zaidan raised his hand to stop him! He said seriously: "Now is not the time to yell and scream. It will be very troublesome to scare those people! And if you have the strength, you can stay until tomorrow to kill those private salt dealers! Everyone eat now, and go after eating. Go to sleep and gain enough strength!"
With Zaidan's words, no one yelled! But this time, I didn't feel as uncomfortable as holding it in my chest as usual. Instead, I felt like my heart was swollen and I had endless strength! It seems that Zadan deserves the title of "Warrior", he can fight! So everyone finished dinner as quickly as possible and went to have a rest according to the arrangement.
It was getting brighter the next day, and when people in the town started to go out and walk around, another surprise arrived: more than a dozen Miao people came outside the town! This made Jiayin even more emotional that luck must be on his side! However, he did not let them enter the town, but sent someone to lead them to ambush near the dock.
But what made him regretful was that the other two villages he contacted were relatively far away, and it looked like he might not be able to get there until noon or afternoon! If they arrive early, he will have another batch of available manpower!
In this way, both sides are working hard to search for each other's information, while hiding themselves, seemingly staying in the town peacefully. Obviously, the added sound is better at hiding itself! After all, I heard that people were mixed in among the houses.
At this time, Boss Hu and Zhao Changjiu were discussing the origins of those people across from them. how to respond? Zhao Changjiu even went out to observe it in person and just came back. After entering the door, he first poured himself a cup of herbal tea on the table, and then drank it in one breath before saying: "Master, I saw those people, they are all pure Miao people, but they look very Chinese, they should be cooked Tibetan people. Already!"
Boss Hu frowned even more when he heard this! Said: "If this is really the case, it will be even more troublesome! They are more familiar with the villages and mountain roads in the mountains than we are. If they really want to compete with us for business, we may not be able to compete with them!"
Zhao Changjiu said nonchalantly: "It's just a group of mountain people! Just scare them with your sword and they'll be honest! If you can't kill two or three of them, they should retreat!"
Boss Hu was somewhat knowledgeable. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work! These mountain people are very tough. If they don't know about salt, they might be able to let it go. If they know that the price of salt is so low now, they I won’t let go!”
Zhao Changji said: "What should we do? What are your plans?"
Boss Hu thought for a while and said, "It's not a good time to cause trouble. Let's talk to them first to see if we can draw up a good territory and not interfere with each other!"
Zhao Changjiu felt that this idea was not very ideal and said
: "I don't think it's possible! How can anyone be willing to let go when huge profits are ahead of them?"
Boss Hu rubbed his beard and said, "Then we have to talk first! It's best if we reach an agreement. If it's not, then we should take action! We have been salt lords for so many years, and we are not afraid of anyone coming!"
Zhao Changjiu laughed when he heard this and was very satisfied with Boss Hu's decision! However, he still said: "I just don't know who their leader is and where he is hiding? There are many Miao people in this town. It is difficult to find out where he is hiding in these people's homes! And the most annoying thing is that our leader in this town When I came back, I didn’t know anyone, and no one told the truth about anything I asked!”
Boss Hu chuckled and said: "This is not easy! Didn't they arrange for people to wait for the boat at the pier? Tell those people directly, and they will naturally pass the word back! If our people can keep an eye on it, maybe we can follow Touch it from behind!"
Zhao Changjiu said with a smile: "This method is feasible! I saw that they are all a group of rookies who have just come out of the mountain. They don't know what it means to have a sinister heart. Let's teach them a lesson this time!"
Boss Hu laughed and said, "That's the truth! Okay, you send a brother to the dock to talk to their people, and arrange someone else to follow them!"
Zhao Changjiu agreed and opened the door to call someone, but as soon as he walked to the corridor, he saw a person hurriedly running in outside the inn door. It was the man he had arranged to wait for the ship at the dock. His hurrying back can only mean that something happened at the dock, or the ship carrying salt has arrived!
Zhao Changzu hurriedly leaned on the railing and shouted below: "Hey, what happened?"
When the man looked up and saw that it was Zhao Changji, he immediately shouted loudly: "Second Master, a boat is coming!"
Zhao Changji was extremely excited when he heard this and immediately asked: "Is it a ship carrying salt?"
The people below raised their necks and said: "The boat is still far away, and it goes upstream very slowly. It's not clear whether it is a ship carrying salt! But there are not many ships in this shabby place for a month, so it must be a ship carrying salt. Boat!"
Zhao Changshou thought what he said made sense, and was about to turn back to find Boss Hu, but when he heard the noise, Boss Hu had already stepped out and said directly: "Call the brothers and go to the dock! Take them all with you, but Don’t show it casually!”
