After hearing his instructions, Zhao Changjiu immediately said to the people below: "Go to the surrounding villagers' homes and call for help!"
Then he started yelling in the corridor again, asking everyone in the room to come out and gather. The entire inn was very small, with only ten rooms. As soon as he spoke, all the people who were napping in the room ran out!
After hearing his instructions, they all took their weapons and gathered in the yard. Not long after, people living outside also rushed to the inn. I heard that the ship carrying salt was coming, and everyone was very excited! They have been out of business for more than two months, and all the money in their pockets has been spent! Now that you have the opportunity to make money, you can’t miss it!
At the same time that Boss Hu got the news, Jiayin also got the news! He also immediately called everyone to gather and rush to the dock. At the same time, they also sent people to notify the people who were ambushing near the pier, asking them to move closer to the pier without being discovered!
At this time, Jiayin has made up his mind. If the other party is really a private salt dealer coming to steal business, he will fight with them! Anyway, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, selling smuggled salt is also a capital crime. Killing them yourself is not only innocent but also meritorious!
So the two teams gathered together and hurried to the dock. After all, it was Boss Hu's people who lived more concentratedly and moved faster, so they had to be the first to get there. And the good news can only follow behind.
And both sides made an assessment of each other along the way. The number of people on both sides is roughly equal now, but it’s not easy to say if they fight like this! The salt lords are ruthless and often fight with others! And these Miao people live in the mountains, so they are naturally extremely tough, hunt frequently, and are not afraid of blood!
The leaders of both sides believed that they were equal in strength to the other side, but only Cain's side knew that they still had a team, with a total of eighteen people ambushing them in the woods next to the dock.
After both parties arrived at the pier, neither of them rushed to get on the trestle, but just stood still on the river beach. At this time, the ships downstream were already much closer. Although they were still far away from the dock, it was enough to see the flag of the Ming Navy!
After people on both sides confirmed this, they each winked at the people around them, and people on both sides became excited! At this time, Boss Hu exchanged a few words with Zhao Changjie, and then strode towards Jiayin with his waist knife in hand. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Who are the brothers opposite? Come out and say something!"
Upon seeing this, Jiayin turned to Zaidan and said, "Brother Zaidan, I'll answer the question. You stay here and pay attention to the situation! If there is anything right, just order the fight! Then the brothers in the woods behind them will cooperate with us!" "
Zaidan nodded and said, "I understand, but you have to be careful!"
Jiayin nodded and walked over to welcome Mr. Hu. The two stood not far apart. Boss Hu cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Hu, and my nickname is Hu Hu! I don't know what to call my friend across from me?"
Jiayin returned the gift and said, "Master Hu, just call me Jiayin."
Boss Hu looked him up and down and added, "Looking at my brother's name and his attire, he must be of Miao origin, right?"
Jiayin smiled and said, "Although I am from Miao origin, my mother is Han, and she is half Han blood!"
Boss Hu immediately looked overjoyed and said, "It turns out there is still this kind of relationship, then we are all family members, so things can be settled easily!"
Jiayin was relieved to see Boss Hu acting like he could talk about everything! After all, no one likes fighting! It’s better to talk if you can! And Jiayin is not sure whether the other party is really here to compete with him for territory? If they hadn't gone to the mountains and the two sides started fighting, wouldn't they have been killed and injured in vain? So he also relaxed his tone and said, "What are you talking about?"
Boss Hu waved his hand and said with great momentum: "What else can we talk about? Of course it's salt! If you are standing here, you must have received the news and are ready to buy some salt and sell it, right?"
Jiayin nodded and said, "Yes, I do have this plan!"
Boss Hu smiled even happier when he heard this! He clapped his hands and said, "If you say that, we can be considered as kindred spirits! We have to take care of each other in the future! I just don't know where brothers are going to sell salt?"
actual
When Boss Hu said this, he had almost given up hope! Because of the identities of Cai Yin and his companions, they were destined to sell the salt into the mountains! So this is a purely competitive relationship between them.
Sure enough, Jiayin hesitated for a moment and then said loudly: "Of course we sell it to the mountains! We are all Miao people, and we are most familiar with the villages in the mountains! Moreover, the price of salt in the mountains is too expensive, so buying some cheap salt back home can make a difference. Life in the village is easier!"
Boss Hu has been struggling in his heart at this time! Kill the other party, he is not willing! Because now is the time when everyone is shouting for Yan Xiao to be beaten. If he causes too much trouble, he might be surrounded and suppressed by the government! But if he doesn't take action, the financial path he finally came up with will not be able to proceed, and he won't be able to explain it to his brothers!
Thinking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "I wonder where brother Jiayin is going to run? It just so happens that brother and I are also planning to sell salt into the mountains. It would be bad if there is a conflict between the two of us!"
At this time, Jiayin already had an ominous premonition! He felt that he might not be able to reach an agreement this time, but he still seriously stated the range he had planned in advance, which was the range close to the thirty-three villages around him!
As for the village further deep in the mountains, he really didn't want to go! After all, it is too far away, so let the village in the mountain buy second-hand salt from the village near the base!
When Boss Hu heard him talk about the scope, he knew that there was nothing to talk about. He immediately turned coldly, held the handle of the knife and said, "Brother, what are you doing is too unethical? How can you eat in such a large scope?" "
Jiayin saw him holding the handle of the knife, and he also held the handle of the Miao knife without hesitation, and then said: "I am familiar with these thirty-three villages, so naturally I can eat them! You see the brothers behind me, They come from just four villages!"
Boss Hu decided to give it one last try. He said: "Brother, you are from the Miao people, so selling salt in the mountains will naturally give you an advantage! How about this? You give these villages twenty to me, and you can work hard again." If you sell it farther away, the price will be even higher!"
Jiayin knew that things might not get better, so he simply spread his arms and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask one thing. Are you private salt dealers who came from other places?"
