The Only Favourite Ugly Husband: 32|Sea salt and seafood
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the ugly husband!
"Private salt? You, you, you..." Yang Jiang's face was pale instantly, and he closed his mouth suddenly, looking left and right.
He was relieved to find that there was no one around him, and then said: "Are you crazy? This is a capital crime of decapitation!"
Everyone will buy private salt, but the idea of selling private salt...
"I know." Jiang Zhen said: "So I want to know the situation with you." Jiang Zhen still knows something about ancient private salt.
Regardless of the dynasty and generation, private salt is rampant, no way, official salt is too expensive.
They are along the coast, and official salt is sold for forty wen a catty. The quality of the salt is not good... What about the inland?
Jiang Zhen used to read history books and saw records of one or two silver and one catty of official salt in certain localities... This is simply not allowing the common people to eat salt, so it's no wonder everyone bought private salt.
Of course, although he had the idea of selling illegal salt, he didn't plan to do it right away, or walked into the dark on this road. He knew very well that he started with his own ability to make a little fuss. The funds are okay, and it is impossible to expand in the trade of selling illegal salt.
After all, he has no background at all, and today's private salt dealer...
For such a large profit, I am afraid that all the private salt dealers are not small.
Yang Jiang looked at Jiang Zhen a few times, and saw Jiang Zhen talking about decapitation as if he was talking about what to eat next time. He couldn't help but admire him a little, and suddenly he thought about whether he wanted to agitate. Jiang Zhen went to sell salt, so that he was beheaded?
As soon as Yang Jiang's thought came into being, he was suppressed again.
Even if Jiang Zhen sells salt illegally, the salt will not necessarily be able to catch him... Maybe he will be even more vicious in the future.
Yang Jiang thought about it this way, but he said all the things he knew about the private salt: "I have also caught this private salt dealer. I know a little bit about the situation..."
There is a Hongjiang salt field on the east coast of Hecheng County. The salt field belongs to the imperial court. The nearby official salt also comes from there. At the same time...the nearby private salt basically comes from there. .
To explain briefly, after the salt produced by the salt farm, part of it is sold as official salt, and the other part is sold to private salt dealers, and even more salt is sold to the latter.
Just as Jiang Zhen thought, no one would be unwilling to make such a big profit. But ordinary people are tempted, and they only dare to boil some salt and sell them secretly. Those who really dare to make a fortune are all big people with backgrounds.
They had money and some people. They drove big boats, went to the salt farms to buy salt and sent them to various places. They were very arrogant, but no one dared to investigate it.
"Boss, I don’t want to hide it from you. We usually catch private salt dealers. We catch those who secretly sell dozens or hundreds of catties of salt. They are really big people, and they can’t even touch them, even big people. We will also avoid the people under our hands. They are also very popular, and they will pay tolls when they come to sell salt." Yang Jiang said: "The people who catch private salt dealers at Hongjiang Salt Farm are more powerful than ours here. Catch the hawkers who sell a hundred or eighty catties of salt, and kill them immediately if they catch them, and those who catch and kill...In fact, many of them are directly under the hands of the private salt traders."
What Yang Jiang said, the country folks like Boss Jiang know nothing, but in fact, all the people in the yamen here are clean.
Speaking of which, why is official salt so expensive? Isn't it just to make private salt a good selling point? This official salt and private salt are actually handled by the whole family.
The Hongjiang Salt Farm is a place where others are not allowed to touch it. So some vendors dared to go to the beach to sell salt. They were extremely cruel and killed them when they saw it.
"Before the court rectified the salt industry, an imperial servant came and worked for several years. In the end, it only found some abandoned children or offline." Yang Jiang said again. Those private salt dealers on the top floor with countless salt in their hands will sell the salt in their hands to the next family for sale. These next family members basically have no background. They are probably just a wealthy businessman. You can only find them.
Of course, just to find them, the money copied out can satisfy the court, and you can imagine how much profit there is.
Hearing what Yang Jiang said, Jiang Zhen knew that this official salt and private salt had already formed a big net of interests, and all the officials here had been blocked.
Actually, this is not surprising.
In recent years, the people are poor. Officials are trying to raise taxes secretly, but they can’t get much money. If they want to get big money, they still have to rely on special things, such as the salt industry.
Since they want to make money here, naturally, no one is allowed to dig their corners, so it's a very hard blow to the small hawkers.
In this way, it is very difficult for him to get a few hundred catties of salt to make some capital.
Jiang Zhen wanted to make money, but he really didn't intend to lose his life... After thinking about it, he asked again: "I think there are also marine products sold in the market. Where can these marine products be obtained? Of?"
Hecheng County sells seafood, mainly marinated sea fish and dried kelp. These two items are not expensive, so people here like it. For example, when banquets, I like to stew a bowl of seaweed.
"Boss, if you want to do this business, it won't be difficult. You can hire a boat to go to the beach to buy goods. But if there is no special way, it is considered as a private salt seller..." Yang Jiang chuckled twice. He said: "Anyway, you have to be careful not to get salt. Of course, if you carry three or five catties, they don't bother to care."
"Do you have a way?" Jiang Zhen asked again.
"I know a few people who sell seafood. If you want to go, you can join them." Yang Jiangdao, those who sell seafood are small vendors. They are still happy to go with a few more people. Safe anyway.
Jiang Zhen nodded, and immediately finalized the matter with Yang Jiang.
After finalizing the matter, Jiang Zhen went to the drugstore again.
Wang Haisheng is still taking care of Sun Xiaoshan, and the twenty taels of silver he gave before is enough for Sun Xiaoshan to heal his illness, Jiang Zhen greeted him and planned to go home first.
He didn't rush to get Wang Haisheng's boat home because he had already given Wang Haisheng the silver. He still believed in Wang Haisheng's character, and believed that after he took Yang Jiang there, Wang Haisheng must not dare to run away without his talent.
Wang Haisheng really didn’t have that idea. After learning that Jiang Zhen was willing to hire himself for business in the future, he was grateful to Jiang Zhen. He didn’t even want to run away. Instead, he took Jiang Zhen to the boat. Then gave Jiang Zhen some fish.
These fish are not big. It is said that they were caught by the two children of Wang Haisheng in the past two days. They have grown up on fishing boats since they were young, and they have already been able to fish.
Jiang Zhen naturally wouldn't refuse, and carrying the fish, he went home.
It has been raining for several days, and the road is very muddy and difficult to walk. Jiang Zhen walked all the way. Not only did the cloth shoes get wet, they were also covered with mud, and they were heavy.
As a result, it took Chiang Chen a lot more time to walk home than usual. When he got home, it was almost dark.
After scooping water to wash his feet, Jiang Zhen took care of the small fish outside the house. The scales of the fish were scraped by him, and the fish intestines were dug out, and he was working hard, and he saw five little ducks not far away. Was swaying his hips, waving his little wings, drilling around in the vegetable field of the Zhao family.
It didn't rain at the moment, maybe it was Zhao Liu who let them out.
Thinking about this, Jiang Zhen turned his gaze and saw that not far away, Zhao Liu was picking up one side or a cylinder, and on the other side he was digging for earthworms with half of the bamboo cut off.
People who raise chickens and ducks in the village often send their children out to dig for earthworms, because chickens and ducks eat earthworms and grow up to lay more eggs, but people of Zhao Liu's age generally do not do such things.
Jiang Zhen looked at Zhao Liu who was digging earthworms, a little funny, and then he chopped the fish intestines on his hand with a knife.
Jiang Zhen took the fish intestines and walked to the Zhao family's ground, and ignoring Zhao Liu's horrified gaze, he scattered the fish intestines on the ground.
Zhao Liu was afraid of Jiang Zhen, and he was very afraid. The little ducks were not afraid of Jiang Zhen. They whispered and quickly gathered around Jiang Zhen to eat the fish intestines.
Jiang Zhen came back late, but Zhao Jin brother came back even later.
The reason why Dahu Zhao is called Dahu Zhao is that his family is rich and has a lot of land. They are part of their family, and Brother Zhao Jin is a permanent worker.
Brother Zhao Jin can still have free time during the slack farming period. When the farming is busy, he can only stay busy all the time. Of course, because of his low demand for hard work, Dahu Zhao will also give him something when he is busy farming. For example, I gave him a few eggs today.
Giving the egg to Zhao Liu, Zhao Jin went to the patio to clean the mud on his body, and when he came out of the shower, Zhao Liu had already prepared him to eat.
When the farming was busy, the Zhao family also ate dry rice, otherwise the body could not support it. In addition to dry rice, Zhao Liu also used the dry rice brought back by Zhao Jin to make egg drop soup.
"Mother, you can eat the egg soup." Brother Zhao Jin said, Jiang Zhen gave him food at noon, he had eaten meat...
"I don't cook anything at home, what kind of egg soup do I eat?" Zhao Liu asked, but Zhao Jin still insisted on leaving half a bowl of egg soup for Zhao Liu.
As for Zhao Fugui, he works part-time in a place a little far away, and will not go home these days.
Brother Zhao Jin is not very talkative, but Zhao Liu likes to talk very much. While watching Brother Zhao Jin eat, she talked about family affairs. Of course, she also talked about their current neighbor Jiang Zhen.
"That Jiang Zhen brought fish intestines to feed our ducks today. What do you think he thinks? After our ducks are raised, he won't steal it, right?" The more worried you are.
Ms. Jiang is a very powerful person. She told the villagers all the things that Jiang Zhen did in Jiang's house.
Speaking of which, all the people in the village are now afraid of Jiang Zhen and feel that Jiang Zhen is wrong, which is also related to Mrs. Jiang's behavior.
Boss Jiang was wronged in the past and never said anything. Even if everyone knew that Mrs. Jiang treated him badly, they didn't know how bad it was. Mrs. Jiang yelled so clearly, but let them know that Jiang Zhen did everything. What kind of "bad things" have happened.
Zhao Liu was so worried when he heard about Jiang Zhen robbing chickens for food.
"Mother, have you seen him steal someone else's chicken?" Brother Zhao Jin said.
Zhao Liu's thought, even though Jiang Zhen was searching everywhere for food, she really didn't see him stealing other people's chickens...
Thinking about this, Zhao Liu remembered another thing: "Brother Jin, then Jiang Zhen didn't grow vegetables himself, and he didn't come to our house to steal these two days. What do you think he eats? "
She is worried about Jiang Zhen again.
