Chapter 698: Hoarding Salt

Cheng Wu folded the letter and did not intend to show it to his son. He just said lightly: "It's getting late. Li has worked hard these days. You take the time to take her out for a walk. You haven't returned to the capital for a long time, so you should let her go back to your parents' home to see you."

My father values ​​human kindness and etiquette, and Cheng Anqu is actually not much worse. He just received the secret letter from His Majesty, and his father arranged for them to leave. This coincidence made Cheng Anqu feel particularly uneasy: "If there is something wrong at home, my father should not bear it alone, and my son should do everything he can."

The second son's considerate made Cheng Wu feel a little relieved and he smiled and said, "It's nothing, Your Majesty is just a concern."

After seeing off his second son, Mr. Cheng Wu sat down. His Majesty shouldn't have agreed to this marriage, and it was even more impossible for the people from Zhenbeihou to give the betrothal gift, but he agreed!

These days, he was worried and always felt that there would be a stir. As he expected, how could His Majesty let Chen Tianxiao succeed? However, the sword that was supposed to point to Zhenbei Hou actually pointed at him!

He will make a decision, otherwise, the matter of the deposed prince of the Eastern Palace and the death of the prince, His Majesty will be announced to the public. At that time, his Cheng family will be destroyed!

He did feel sorry for Cheng Cen, but he should not ignore that Cheng Cen is far from his childhood. For the sake of ambition, she was already confused. Looking at the figure of the second son leaving, he had a scheming in his heart.

In addition to Cheng Cen, he also has his second son and grandson. The second son really devoted himself to running the school and decided to go on with his brother's last wish. How could he delay him again? Mr. Cheng Wu closed his eyes and had made up his mind.

Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao were completely unaware of all this. In just half a month, the two of them sent their subordinates to purchase the materials they needed to reserve through different channels. The most difficult level was salt.

There are officials and private parts. Originally, the salt was a specialty sale of the government's property, and private operations were prohibited. Dongyue was a specialty sale of the government's property. Later, it was authorized to distribute it to the salt merchants below, which expanded the sales channels compared to previous dynasties.

The income obtained from the salt industry's monopoly is returned to the national treasury, which is also an important source of the imperial court's fiscal revenue.

In order to control official salt, the circulation of salt is strictly controlled, the salt distribution area is strictly divided, and marketing policies are implemented. Salt in different production areas is restricted from being sold in a certain area and must not be exceeded.

Therefore, merchants in Suicheng can only buy salt in Suicheng, while merchants or people from other places are not allowed to buy official salt from Suicheng. Merchants who have obtained official authorization to sell official salt must obtain salt intake before they can be officially sold, otherwise they will be regarded as private salt.

Therefore, when reselling private salt, there are those who vacate official salt and sell it privately at a low price, and there are also those who attract salt from merchants that do not meet the regulations to collect benefits. The salt industry is really messy.

Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao discussed that in addition to asking Yuchunlou to deliberately increase the purchase of salt, He An also asked him to arrange it and increase the purchase of rest stations in different areas. In this way, he would buy salt in their respective areas without interfering with each other.

First, you can wait for an opportunity to stock up on salt, and second, it will not cause too obvious signs of buying and stocking up on salt!

In addition to buying salt, Qin Feng also thought of another trick, which was to learn from the ancients and use chili peppers instead of the situation where there was insufficient salt. Of course, the ultimate solution was to build a salt pond in Kuya.

This is also why Qin Feng was so excited when he discovered that there was a sea area there. It was just that before the salt pond came out, he needed inventory.

Qin Feng thought he was considerate enough, and he did not deny that it was difficult for him to do 100% without any omissions. However, it is naturally good to be able to do it as thoroughly as possible. It is just stocking up, not reselling or private selling. Just pay attention to the standard.

Besides, they started stocking up freight transportation here, and I don’t know what method Zuo Pingdao used. The ghostly Yuan Buqi actually left the capital with his Ziwu Guard!

This matter was seen by Wu'an Hou with his own eyes, so naturally he could not be faked. Zuo Pingdao is now avoiding meeting them and has no explanation afterwards. Qin Feng is too lazy to break the casserole and ask the final question.

The so-called black cat and white cat, the one who can catch mice is a good cat, and the person is left horizontally.

Xiao Lingyao sent the secret guards to search again, and confirmed that their eyes and ears were a little loose when they stared at Qin Feng. The two of them accelerated the process and transported a large amount of supplies out of the city with the help of Wu'an Hou before Cheng Cenyuan married.

The salt and pepper collected from each rest station were arranged by He An, and the two transportation lines were walking together. Qin Feng didn't know that after Yuan received so many supplies, he hurriedly stored them. For a while, the cliff was no longer bitter and finally felt rich.

However, they were originally from the army and knew that these materials were for backup and emergency use, so they immediately found a way to store them and must keep them well, so they dare not lose them. Before receiving the materials, Yuan had already gathered with Qin Qi.

In addition to the reunion of mother and son, Master Lou who came together surprised them even more. Many soldiers used to eat and live with Master Lou. Now, although they have experienced many vicissitudes and things have changed, it is a happy event to meet again, let alone Master Lou can add a lot of effort?

Qin Feng also went to the letter, and Yuan naturally knew how to use Master Lou well. He immediately gave him the responsibility for the shipbuilding matter, and this time he had to be responsible for two types, one for civilian use and the other for military use!

If Master Lou thought that Qin Feng was just trying to create a piece of world and enjoy himself, he would only realize that his plan was not only that, but that was based on the regulations of the dynasty. Military ships were his dream that he had put aside many years ago.

For a moment, Master Lou didn't care that he was fooled by Xiao Lingyao, so he pulled Qin Qi to join in quickly. He had almost no transition and started his old career.

In the letter, Yuan learned that Liu Yuan was released from concubines, and only sighed at the changes in the Taifu Mansion. When he thought of the situation of bowing his head and being a human being in the Taifu Mansion, he felt unbearable to look back. The only thing he was glad that he had more bones and blood.

Thinking of his son being taken to such a remote place by his master, his father was unaware of it. It can be seen that Qin Zuohuai was not concerned about Qi'er at all. He was destined to be without a father-son relationship in this life. Although he was moved in his heart, he also felt that it was good.

Now that she knows that she is not dead and her mother returns, she has a master who is waiting for him to be kind to, and her brother and princess and sister-in-law who are willing to cultivate his talent. Now her life is more promising than before.

Especially when he saw Qin Qi dared to express himself now, the little man had a somewhat grand demeanor, Yuan Shi did not regret leaving at the beginning, and was even more grateful to Qin Feng for choosing such a hiding place for them.
