In the copper-colored crane-mouth incense burner, a stream of quiet smoke kept floating out of the crane-mouth incense burner, carrying a light fragrance. After the light smoke was rendered, the originally ordinary air around became expensive after being stained with the fragrance of sandalwood.

This is an antique study room. The crane-mouth incense burner is a century-old phoenix sandalwood that is comparable to gold. This study room is located on the east side of the prefectures in Yinzhou, northwest provinces. To be more precise, it is in the northwest transfer yamen of Yinzhou City. The owner of this study room is Jiang Tianhua, the authoritative northwest transfer yamen.

At this moment, the Northwest Transportation Commissioner was wearing a scarlet official uniform and sitting next to a desk in the study. He stretched out two fat fingers that were as green as green as green, and gently picked up a small handful of crystal clear things like snow from the porcelain plate in the middle of the desk. In front of his nose, he was observing carefully.

Jiang Tianhua is in his 50s and has big ears and a little obese. Because there is too much flesh on his face, at first glance, he thought his face was swollen by a hornet. His eyes were covered by the rolling flesh, only two slender gaps were exposed. There were no eyeballs in the gap, and there were no whites in the gap. Only occasionally two cold lights flashed in the gap that made people feel a little trembling. Also because he was too fat, Ang Jiang Tianhua's face looked like he was smiling at any time.

In the northwest officialdom, Jiang Tianhua, the nickname of the Northwest Transportation Army, was "Smile Tiger". Jiang Tianhua was cruel and greedy. He had the power to supervise the northwest officialdom and had the prime minister behind him. Even the governors of each state had to give him some face and dare not offend him easily. Over time, Jiang Tianhua became even more unscrupulous in the northwest.

Jiang Tianhua was staring at the small white thing in his hand very seriously. After staring for half a minute, he put the small thing into his mouth and then closed his eyes.

After a while, Jiang Tianhua opened his eyes and nodded. A beautiful maid next to him brought over a cup of warm and exquisite Xuefeng tea, and a beautiful maid knelt in front of him and raised a pure gold spittoon in his hand.

"Gulugulu..." Jiang Tianhua raised his neck, took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth with tea, spit the tea in his mouth into the pure gold spittoon, took the towel handed over by the third beautiful maid, wiped the corners of his mouth and hands, and then waved his hand and asked the maids to go all down.

"Is this the new snow salt in Pingxi County?" Jiang Tianhua asked, staring at a businessman with a flattering smile in front of him.

"To my parents, this is snow salt. Do you know how much is the price of this snow salt for now?"

"How many?"

"This snow salt is in short supply now. A pound of snow salt is now in the market. One pound costs four or five cents of silver, which is twice as expensive as the best green salt. That's twice as expensive!" When talking about the price of snow salt, the merchant's eyes shone brightly and stuck out his tongue to lick his lips. His greedy expression was completely written on his face.

"I'm worthy of this price!" Jiang Tianhua nodded and smiled, "There are not many places in the entire Han Empire that can produce such salt, even if it is not inferior to tribute salt!"

"Who said no?" The same big belly merchant was also smiling, "I heard that the salt farm of snow salt is completely in the hands of the governor of Ganzhou, Riestong. Our family wrote a letter from the Imperial Capital City and wanted to ask the adults to help me. Can you tell Lord Lei? In the future, the snow salt that appears in the salt farm will be sold by our people on behalf of 50%!"

"Hahaha, as Lord Gu, just write a letter to Riestong directly. Why come to me? I think Riestong will definitely give Lord Gu face!" Jiang Tianhua said with a big laugh.

The big-bellied businessman also laughed, "Our family said that he was separated from Ries, which was not convenient, and Ries was not good at eating soft and hard. He was in the Imperial Capital City and it was not easy to interfere in the northwest things. This salt was also a transfer of troops. It is legitimate to take action. If Lord Jiang can get this done, then the thing that Lord Jiang told my Lord last time would definitely be able to do it!"

Jiang Tianhua's eyes flashed, and then he laughed, "Well, tell your lord, I'll think of a way. I'll go to Ganzhou in a few days. I'll talk with Ries first!"

"Then I'll wait for the good news!" The big-bellied businessman looked very frightened. Seeing Jiang Tianhua picking up the teacup again, he stood up politely and said goodbye to leave.

After seeing the businessman leaving, Jiang Tianhua's smiling face slowly felt a hint of coldness, and he snorted with disdain, "Your Gu family's hands are too long. How can you do such a business? Are you really the ministers in the imperial capital able to be good at hand? Let's talk about it when your ministers become the Minister of the Shangshu!"

A figure flashed behind the screen in the study. An old man with a thin face, silver hair, a flowing blue dress, a fan in his hand, and a beautiful long beard on his chin had quietly walked out.

"The Gu family is indeed too greedy. You must stay away from the Gu family in the future so as not to be affected by the fish!" The old man came to Jiang Tianhua and said softly.

"Well, it's right. The Gu family is indeed getting more and more excessive. Now the Gu family makes at least 400,000 taels of silver a year in the northwest. They are not satisfied. They actually want to instigate me to grab food from Ries' bowl. Is Ries easy to mess with at the same time? Is it really a fool!"

The old man shook the folding fan and smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter how Riestong thinks. What matters is how the prime minister thinks. The prime minister has great ambitions and his goals are not small. If the Gu family does not know how to restrain themselves, it will make the heavens angry and resentful, and will not be tolerated by the prime minister in the future. If the Gu family accumulates money over the past few decades, the prime minister will also gain a good reputation and be praised by the people of the world. Do you think the prime minister will do such a beautiful thing?"

Jiang Tianhua was shocked, and quickly stood up and bowed to the old man, "Thank you for your reminder. It seems that you can't really interact with the Gu family in the future!"

"Well, as long as the adults take over the manufacturing bureau, the salt field in Pingxi County will sooner or later fall into the hands of the adults!"

"Ah, sir, are you comforting me, the salt field is now the lifeblood of Rieston, how will it fall into my hands?"

"Don't you find it strange? The salt farm in Pingxi County is located in Yuntao County. Several salt mines in Yuntao County have only produced earth salt before, so now they have produced such good refined salt!"

"Didn't the news from Pingxi County say that Ries and Dog Shit Luck discovered a rare fine salt mine in the world under the salt field in Yuntao County?"

"Do you believe this statement too?"

Jiang Tianhua frowned slightly, "Sir, what he meant is..."

"Before Yan Liqiang came back, several salt mines in Yuntao County had produced earth salt for so many years. Why didn't there be any top-quality fine salt mines discovered? Why did Yan Liqiang come back and this top-quality fine salt mine was discovered? Don't you think this fact is too coincidental?"

"Did the sir mean that Yan Liqiang could have a way to turn inferior earth salt into snow salt?" Jiang Tianhua looked shocked. Such news was as incredible as hearing someone's spell that could turn stones into gold.

"Don't forget that Yan Liqiang is in the imperial capital, but the way of investigating things is famous all over the world, and he can still talk to Zhang Yourong, the world's number one master. Moreover, people in the northwest are now saying that Yan Liqiang can be enlightened by the gods in his dreams. The method he passed down to save the drowning man was that he was taught by the gods in his dreams, and now it has been spread throughout the world. How can adults infer such a person in common sense!"

Jiang Tianhua was stunned for a moment, the fat on his face trembled, and then a layer of oil appeared, rubbing his hands excitedly, "If Yan Liqiang had such skills, then I did underestimate him before..."

"As long as the adults can take the manufacturing bureau this time and gain a foothold in Pingxi County, we can slowly do it. As long as the stern and strong method is used, the adults can turn the earth and salt into snow salt. At that time, the adults will naturally have as much money as they want. If this method is dedicated to the Prime Minister, the adults will definitely have more weight in the minds of the Prime Minister, and the future will be limitless..."

"Hahaha, right, sir said it well. As long as I gain a foothold in Pingxi County and take over the Manufacturing Bureau, Yan Liqiang is not allowed to be kneaded, but Zhong Xiankui has some idea, and there has been no news for so many days..."

Just as the two were chatting in the study, an official from the Transportation Office hurriedly ran outside the study with a piece of official documents and asked to see Jiang Tianhua. Jiang Tianhua asked the official to come in. When he opened the official document, his face changed suddenly...

Just a few days ago, because there was no news about Zhong Xiankui, Jiang Tianhua, who thought Zhong Xiankui and his party were troubled by Ries and in Ganzhou, asked the Transportation Office to send a formal official document to the Ganzhou Governor's Mansion, preparing to go through the official channel to the officialdom to put some pressure on the Governor's Mansion. Unexpectedly, the Governor's Mansion delayed it for a few days and returned to the official document today, but told Jiang Tianhua that the people from the Transportation Office had no idea that the Transportation Office had gone to Ganzhou for business, and there was no news about Zhong Xiankui and his party in Pingxi County...

"Call Qu Mingcheng to me immediately..." Jiang Tianhua roared in the study.

Half an hour later, a man wearing armor and a cold-faced face hurriedly arrived at Jiang Tianhua's study...

...

On that night, the two inspectors of the Transportation Office stationed outside Yinzhou City were completely noisy and boiling. Countless officers of the inspectors of the cavalry began to shout loudly in the camp, asking the people in the cavalry to gather...

Early the next morning, just dawn, Qu Mingcheng, the general inspector of the Northwest Transport Office, led two inspectors and more than one thousand cavalry, fully armed and murderous intent to rush out of the Yinzhou camp and flew to Ganzhou...
