"Private salt? You, you..." Yang Jiang's face turned pale in an instant, and then he closed his mouth suddenly, looking left and right.

He felt relieved when he found that there were no people around him and said, "Are you crazy? This is the death penalty for beheading!"

Everyone will buy private salt, but the idea of ​​making private salt...

"I know." Jiang Zhen said: "So let me know the situation." Jiang Zhen still had some understanding of the ancient private salt.

No matter which dynasty or dynasty, private salt is very rampant. There is no way, official salt is too expensive.

They are on the coast here, and official salt is sold for 40 cents per pound. The salt is of poor quality...whether it is inland?

When Jiang Zhen read history books before, he saw some local officials’ records of one tael of salt per pound... This is simply not allowing the people to eat salt, so it is no wonder that everyone goes to buy private salt.

Of course, although he had the idea of ​​selling private salt, he had no intention of doing it right away, or going to go all the way. He knew very well that it was okay to make some starting funds with his own abilities, and it was impossible to grow in the business of selling private salt.

After all, he has no background at all, and now a private salt dealer...

With such a big profit, I'm afraid that all the private salt dealers are quite famous.

Yang Jiang looked at Jiang Zhen a few times. When he saw Jiang Zhen talking about such a beheading, he seemed to be calm as if he was talking about what to eat later. He couldn't help but admire him, and suddenly a thought arose - should he encourage Jiang Zhen to sell private salt so that he could be beheaded?

As soon as Yang Jiang's thought arose, he suppressed him again.

Even if Jiang Zhen sells private salt, those salt cooks may not be able to catch him... Maybe he will become even more vicious in the future.

Yang Jiang thought about it this way, but he said everything he knew about private salt: "I have also caught this private salt dealer, and I know a little bit about the situation..."

Just by the sea to the east of Hecheng County, there is a Hongjiang Salt Farm. The salt farm belongs to the court, and the nearby official salt comes from there, and at the same time... the nearby private salt comes from there.

To briefly explain, after the salt farm produces salt, part of it is sold as official salt, while the other part is sold to private salt dealers, and even more salt is sold to the latter.

As Jiang Zhen thought, no one would not be moved by such a huge profit. But even those ordinary people were moved, they would only dare to make some salt and sell it secretly. Those who really dared to make a lot of money were all big names with backgrounds.

They had money and some people drove a big boat and went to the salt farm to buy salt to send it to various places. They were very arrogant, but no one dared to check it out.

"Boss, I don't hide it from you. We usually catch private salt dealers, and they catch those who secretly sell dozens or hundreds of kilograms of salt. If you really have big men, you dare not touch them. Even those under the big men will avoid them. They are also very good at selling salt and will pay tolls." Yang Jiang said: "The catch of private salt dealers in Hongjiang Salt Field is better than ours. They only catch those hawkers who sell 180 kilograms of salt. They will kill them immediately after they catch them. In fact, many of them are directly under the subordinates of those big private salt dealers."

What Yang Jiang said was unknown to the country people like Boss Jiang, but in fact, all the people in the yamen here were clear.

Speaking of which, why is official salt so expensive? Isn’t it just to make private salt better? In fact, they are all working together for private salt.

Hongjiang Salt Farm is someone else's territory and no one is allowed to get involved, so some vendors dare to go to the beach to sell private salt. They are extremely ruthless and kill them when they see it.

"Before, the imperial court rectified the salt industry, and an imperial envoy came to work hard for several years. In the end, he just found some abandoned children or downlines." Yang Jiang said again. Those private salt dealers who controlled countless salt in their hands would sell the salt in their hands to the next company to sell. These next companies basically had no background. They were probably just wealthy businessmen, and every time the court investigated, they could only find them.

Of course, just by finding them, the money copied can already satisfy the court, and you can imagine how much profit it is.

After hearing what Yang Jiang said, Jiang Zhen knew that the official salt and private salt had probably formed a big net of interests and had all the officials here blocked the net.

Actually, this is not surprising.

These days, the people are poor, and officials are secretly raising taxes and trying hard to get fish and meat, but they can't get much money. If they want to make big money, they still have to rely on things that make money in particular, such as the salt industry.

Since they want to make money here, they naturally don’t allow anyone to poach them, so they are particularly attacking hawkers who are fighting small.

In this way, it would be very difficult for him to earn some capital by getting hundreds of kilograms of salt.

Jiang Zhen wanted to make money, but he really didn't plan to lose his life... After thinking for a while, he asked again: "I see that there are also seafood sold in the market. Where did these seafood get them?"

There are seafood sold in Hecheng County, mainly pickled sea fish and dried kelp. These two things are not expensive, so people here like it very much. For example, when they are in the banquet, they like to stew a bowl of kelp.

"Boss, if you want to do this business, it's not difficult. Just hire a boat to go to the beach to purchase goods. But if you don't have a special way, you're treated as selling private salt..." Yang Jiang laughed twice and said, "Anyway, be careful when you go there, don't get salt. Of course, if you take three or five kilograms, they're too lazy 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 go with them." Yang Jiang said that those who sell seafood are all small vendors, and they are still happy to go with a few more people, at least they are safe.

Jiang Zhen nodded and immediately decided on this matter with Yang Jiang.

After finalizing this matter, Jiang Zhen went to the pharmacy again.

Wang Haisheng was still taking care of Sun Xiaoshan, and the twenty taels of silver he had given before was enough for Sun Xiaoshan to treat him. Jiang Zhen called out and planned to go home first.

He did not hurry to bring Wang Haisheng's boat home just because he had already given Wang Haisheng silver. He still believed in Wang Haisheng's character, and believed that after he took Yang Jiang there, Wang Haisheng would not dare to run away without his money.

Wang Haisheng really didn't have that idea. After learning that Jiang Zhen was willing to hire him to do business in the future, he was grateful to Jiang Zhen and had no idea of ​​running away at all. Instead, he took Jiang Zhen to the boat and gave Jiang Zhen some fish.

These fish are not big, and it is said that they were all caught by Wang Haisheng’s two children in the past two days - they have grown up on fishing boats since they were young and have already been able to catch fish.

Jiang Zhen naturally would not refuse, so he took the fish and went home.

It rained for several days in a row, and the road was very muddy and difficult to walk on. Jiang Zhen walked all the way, and his cloth shoes were not only wet, but also covered with mud, which was very heavy.

As a result, it took Jiang Zhen a lot more time to walk home than usual. When he arrived home, it was almost dark.

After scooping water and washing his feet, Jiang Zhen treated the little fish outside the house. The scales were scraped by him and the fish intestines were also dug out. He was fucking hard, and he saw five little ducks swaying their butts and waving their wings in the Zhao family’s vegetable field.

It hasn't rained now, so it's probably Zhao Liu's family that let them go out to let the air.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhen turned his eyes and saw that Zhao Liu was holding a cylinder on one side and digging earthworms on the other side with half of the bamboo peeled off.

People who raise chickens and ducks in the village often send their children out to dig earthworms because chickens and ducks grow up quickly and lay more eggs after eating them, but people of the age of Zhao Liu generally do not do such things.

Jiang Zhen looked at Zhao Liu, who was digging earthworms, and was a little funny, and then chopped the fish intestines on his hand with a knife.

Jiang Zhen took the fish intestines and walked to the Zhao family's field. He ignored Zhao Liu's terrified eyes and scattered the fish intestines on the ground.

Zhao Liu was afraid of Jiang Zhen, but he was still very afraid of them, but the little ducks were not afraid of Jiang Zhen. They chirped and soon surrounded Jiang Zhen and ate the fish intestines.

Jiang Zhen came back late, but Zhao Jin Ge came back even later.

The reason why Zhao Dahu is called Zhao Dahu is that his family is rich and has a lot of land, and they are just a long-term worker for Zhao Jin.

During the slack farming, Brother Zhao still has free time, but during the busy farming farming, he can only stay busy. Of course, because of his low demands on working hard, Dahu Zhao would also give him some things during the busy farming farming, such as giving him a few eggs today.

After handing the eggs to Zhao Liu, Brother Zhao Jin went to the patio to clean the mud on his body. When he took a shower, Zhao Liu had prepared food for him.

During the busy farming season, the Zhao family also had a dry meal, otherwise they would not be able to hold on. In addition to dry meals, Zhao Liu also used the dry meals brought back by Brother Zhao Jin to make egg flower soup.

"Mom, you can eat egg soup." Brother Zhao Jin said, Jiang Zhen delivered him food at noon, and he had all eaten meat...

"I don't make anything at home, what egg soup should I eat?" Zhao Liu said, but Brother Zhao insisted on keeping half a bowl of egg soup for Zhao Liu.

As for Zhao Fugui, he worked for people a little far away and would not live home these days.

Brother Zhao Jin doesn’t like talking much, but Mrs. Zhao Liu likes talking very much. While watching Brother Zhao Jin eat, she talks about family affairs. Of course, she also talks about their current neighbor Jiang Zhen.

"Jiang Zhen fed our ducks with fish intestines today. What do you think? After our ducks are raised, he will not steal them to eat them, right?" Zhao Liu said more and more worried.

Old Mrs. Jiang is a very strong combat power. She added fuel to all the things Jiang Zhen had done at the Jiang family and told the villagers about it.

Speaking of which, everyone in the village is afraid of Jiang Zhen now, and thinks that Jiang Zhen is wrong, which is also related to Old Mrs. Jiang's behavior.

Boss Jiang never said anything when he was wronged. Even if everyone knows that Old Mrs. Jiang is not good to him, they don’t know how bad it is. Old Mrs. Jiang yells like this, but they clearly know what “bad things” Jiang Zhen has done.

Zhao Liushi was so worried when she heard about Jiang Zhen robbing chickens.

"Mom, have you seen him steal someone else's chicken?" said Brother Zhao Jin.

Zhao Liu thought so, even though Jiang Zhen looked around for food, she really didn't see him stealing other people's chickens...

Thinking of this, Zhao Liu remembered another thing: "Brother Jin, Jiang Zhen himself did not grow vegetables and hadn't come to our house to steal these two days. What kind of vegetables do you think he ate?"
