Grandpa Mao finally came to his senses and immediately put on a smile on his face. He hurriedly apologized to his son-in-law, poured wine and served dishes, and served him diligently. These two people seemed to have their identities reversed, and they were extremely shameless and shameless.
"Don't blame me for being a good son-in-law, don't blame me... I'm used to being vulgar, and I don't know how to wink. I didn't see Xie wearing a green robe today... I'm not calling you a bastard..."
Wang Zheng squeezed his chopsticks tighter, and his joints turned a little white. If he hadn't seen that this old man could help him earn gold and silver by buying and selling private salt, Wang Zheng would have turned against him at this time, thinking that the new governor would take office soon. , when the time comes, it will be necessary to spend a lot of money in order to maintain a relationship, and there is still a place where this old guy can be used. Wang Zhengsheng swallowed this breath, no longer bothered by Mao Taigong's inability to speak, and forced himself to change the topic.
"Haha, Taishan's words are serious. It's just that the people in the city are talkative, so it's better to pay attention to what you say. If those civil servants and ministers listen to it, your face will not look good... cough! In fact, Taishan doesn't need to worry. There are just a lot of bandits in Dengyun Mountain, but my son-in-law already has a countermeasure in mind."
After pretending to be a grandson for a long time, Mao Taigong was tired of pretending to be a grandson. Seeing that his cheap son-in-law finally poured out genuine goods, Mao Taigong cheered up and listened.
"When I saw what Zou Run, the bandit leader, was doing, he just wanted to get involved in the private salt business. But Zou Run is so shallow, and he doesn't know the truth behind it. He thought he could get a piece of the pie by seizing Mashun's foundation. , isn’t it a big joke? Dengzhou is close to the sea, and there are not many people who can make a living from private salt. But without local officials as backers, who can make it big? Who can make it last long?”
"But private salt trading is against the law after all, and it is a crime to exile Cibei. Therefore, I used to support Mashun and his gang in order to instruct them to do it secretly. I was waiting to reap huge profits in the open. If something happened, I would have to It has nothing to do with it. Now that Dengyun Mountain is becoming bigger, although the husband-in-law is unwilling to send troops to wipe out easily, we can't do anything to Zou Run himself, but there are ways to ruin his business. Once we find out how he sells illegal salt, , to see who dared to sell his stolen goods, he persuaded the government and sent someone to take it away. If things go on like this, he won’t be able to sell them even if he can boil them with salt!"
After hearing his son-in-law explain everything thoroughly, Mao Taigong woke up as if from a dream. He felt relieved and kept saying: "A good son-in-law has a good plan! What a good plan!"
Wang Zheng stroked a few strands of rat whiskers from his chin and continued proudly: "Haha, there is no need to worry about Taishan. Although the previous governor of the state has left, I have found out that among the famous teachers named Wang who are the current governor of the state, I am also a person who loves Aduwu, so I will have to ask Lord Taishan to contribute some money, and I will ensure that we can continue to build this relationship!"
"As long as I can climb up to Zhizhou, who else will be able to sell private salt in Dengzhou than me? I won't be able to subdue Zou Run by then, so I'll just teach him and me to be dogs like that of Mashun!"
As expected of the famous Wang Kongmu of Dengzhou, he was very clear-cut and considerate in his work. Although he was an official, his strategy was not inferior to those of the imperial examination scholars. Kong Taigong kept high-fiving and praising him, and kept echoing his promises. "Yes, yes, yes! All the gold and silver that we have to deal with are wrapped up in me! Although the private salt business will be discontinued for a while, my business on the sea road is still there. My virtuous son-in-law will take charge of it and let it go. As long as there is a magistrate. As a backer, sooner or later, that little Qin King Zou Run will be forced to carry him around!"
Of course, Zou Run couldn't have known that Mashun's death would be so involved, and it was even less likely that he would have known that someone already hated him to the core. He was already immersed in the great joy of producing salt from the salt drying field.
"A strange magic! It's really a magic! The village leader really met the gods in his dream. A huge piece of desert land, relying only on the wind and sun, actually produced so much sea salt! What a blessing!"
"That's right, the village owner is indeed blessed by God. With this method of drying salt, the village will have a stable source of income. Then we will recruit troops and strengthen the village to see who dares to look at us!"
Looking at the vast salt fields on the beach, Zou Run felt that his hard work for more than a month was not in vain. Based on the knowledge of later generations and the opinions and suggestions of the old salt farmers in the village, he explored and tested step by step, and finally succeeded in making a sun-dried salt pan. The whole process of salt. Zou Run made some calculations in his mind. As long as he thought about expanding the scale and recruited enough salt farmers to engage in production, he should be able to produce 70,000 stones a year.
According to the ex-factory price of 25 guan for a pound of salt, and excluding the cost, Dengyun Mountain can earn nearly 200,000 guan a year!
This method must be kept secret in the early stages!
Zou Run looked at Yang Lin and Deng Fei, who was beaming with joy, and solemnly warned:
"Two brothers, this matter is related to my great future in climbing Yunshan Mountain, and the lives and fortunes of hundreds of people above and below me. No leakage must be allowed. From now on, the alert level of Tuoji Island will be raised to the highest level! All personnel must go one by one. Make a register and register. No matter what happens, entering or exiting the island must be recorded. No one can approach the island! Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot!"
"When the copycat recruits salt households to enter this island, they must have families and mouths. At the same time, the minions stationed on the island must choose loyal and reliable people. Remember! Remember!"
Feeling the unprecedented severity and warning in Zou Run's words, Yang Lin and Deng Fei nodded heavily. They are both people who understand the general situation and understand the importance. Zou Run can allow them to participate in such an important matter. There is no doubt that he will truly bring them together. Treat him as one of his own. As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant. Yang Lin and Deng Fei lifted up their fronts and fell to the ground.
"My Majesty, the leader of the village, today is a lesson to the Emperor and Empress. I, Yang Lin (Deng Fei), will strictly keep this secret. If there is any leakage, there will be thunder and lightning! There will be no intact body!"
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Zou Run quickly pulled the two of them up from the ground and said reproachfully:
"My two brothers misunderstood me. If I didn't know what my brothers were like, how could I tell them everything? I said this because I am going on a long trip in the near future and I am worried about the facts on this island. This is a lot of warning, there is absolutely no other intention, brothers, please don’t do this.”
"The leader of the village is going on a long journey? Do you want our brothers to accompany you as escorts?" Yang Lin Nanyan then asked Zou Run quickly where he was going.
Deng Fei reacted faster this time and immediately thought of something, "Did the Shanzhai Hotel find out about the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army coach Lin Chong?"
Seeing Zou Run nodded, Yang Lin thought for a while and said tentatively: "If I am not talkative, how can I be the leader of a village? Even if Lin Chong, the leopard head, is really a good man, he is not worth it. If the village master is worried when he goes there in person, I am willing to do it for him and I will definitely ask Na Lin Chong to come back to the mountain!"
"We are going far away, and we don't know when we will be able to return. The leader of the village has a huge responsibility, and Brother Yang Lin is too busy all day long, so he just asked me to go for a trip. Lifting the big sedan chair can also lift the leopard's head, what do you think, village leader?" Deng Fei also didn't want Zou Run to run around without a tail, and was willing to take his place.
"I accept the kindness of my brothers. I have made up my mind on this matter. I have no more words to say." Zou Run stated his attitude categorically. He could not clearly explain the significance of his visit, so he did not dwell too much on this topic. Let me tell you another thing again.
"Time is urgent, and there is something urgent that I need to do. Brothers must go there in person on my behalf. There is a wine shop ten miles away from the east gate of Dengzhou City. The leaders are Mrs. Gu and Xiao Yuchi Sunxin, who are called the mother insect in Jianghu people. Two heroes. The two of them killed cattle and gambled there, and they were also engaged in private business. The relationship between my Dengyun Mountain salt production and sales lies with them. "
"These two people are very affectionate and righteous. In addition, they have several relatives, such as the two-headed snake Jie Zhen, the two-tailed scorpion Jie Bao, Tie Jing Zi Le He, etc. They are all famous heroes in Dengzhou. Because of Coach Lin's The matter is too urgent and I really don’t have time to visit. After the salt drying farm on the island stabilizes production, my uncle Zou Yuan will take the lead and prepare various fruit wine gifts. The three of us will go together to convey my wishes, as I have done before. Talk about cooperation on the price of salt and try to open up sales.”
"But there is only one thing. Sun Xin's brother is a member of the Dengzhou army. He is not an easy person to get along with. When the brothers go, they will move separately. You must also be careful not to show your face and put your own safety first!"
