@@Getting salt is still a troublesome thing nowadays.

Places close to the sea can boil the sea into salt, but in inland areas they can only rely on salt wells. There are salt lakes in the northwest of Datang, which are easy to access, so the price of salt in Datang is not high.

But after leaving the Salt Lake, the only road left is Jingyan.

Well salt is mainly found in the southwestern region. In northern Xinjiang, I have never... nor have I carefully looked for salt wells.

Looking for it right now is obviously just a temporary solution.

Jinyiwei's manpower was mobilized, and according to Yang Xuan's instructions, they went to various parts of northern Xinjiang and the surrounding areas to search for news about salt wells.

There are salt wells in the north, but mining them takes time and effort, and the final price of the salt is higher than the official price of table salt, so they are abandoned...

This is a record. After it was found, the people of Jinyiwei analyzed and searched for it based on the author's place of origin.

But there was a problem within Northern Xinjiang.

After learning that there was a rush to buy salt outside, the Jiedushi government was furious.

"Who leaked it?" Yang Xuan asked.

"A wealthy businessman!" He Lianyan said.

Yang Xuan sat behind the desk, slowly raised his eyes from the text, and looked at He Lianyan, "Who?"

"Jin Shun."

He Lianyan lowered her eyes slightly.

Jin Yiwei had great power, so everyone in the Jiedushi government looked at her with fear, and some even ridiculed her behind her back for gaining power through her body.

But everyone knows that the end of power is here.

She is just a spokesperson.

"Jinshun, what do you do?" "You make lacquerware."

“Luxury!”

Yang Xuan put the article on the table and said: "There is no shortage of food in Northern Xinjiang recently, there will always be people who have enough to eat!"

He raised his eyebrows and Helianyan lowered her head. "Yes."

Immediately, He Lianyan resigned.

After walking out of Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, He Lianyan ordered: "Keep an eye on Jin Shun."

"There are many!" Ru'an took his disciples there.

"Jielong went to investigate Jinshun's business. If there is any problem, find out for me!" He Lianyan was filled with murderous intent.

"yes!"

Jielong asked: "If there is no problem..."

He Lianyan lifted up her cloak and said, "I said yes!"

This is an attempt to impose a crime! Jielong felt a chill in his heart, but thinking of the unscrupulous power of this kind, his whole body became hot, and he said excitedly: "Take the order!"

He Lianrong said: "What is Jin Shuntu?"

No one knows about this issue.

The production of lacquerware is complicated, time-consuming and expensive, so it is only circulated in the upper class.

Things are rare and valuable, and powerful people in northern Xinjiang are all proud of using lacquerware. If there are not many lacquerwares in the house, guests will be embarrassed when they visit.

With the development of commerce in northern Xinjiang, there are more and more wealthy people, and the demand for luxury goods is also increasing and becoming more and more widespread.

Lacquerware is one of them.

Jinshun's business is very prosperous. Every year, his fleet travels between Guanzhong and Northern Xinjiang more than ten times, bringing lacquerware from Chang'an and various specialties from Northern Xinjiang.

"Actually, before Yang Xuanli took charge of trade, my business was almost dead.

After the opening of trade, the powerful people in northern Xinjiang also made huge profits, so they were willing to spend a lot of money to buy my lacquerware.

I have earned more money in the past two years than I have in the first half of my life. So, in the final analysis, I have to thank Duke Qin."

Jin Shun is a very particular person, even when drinking water, the water cup is not an ordinary thing.

Even the water is drawn from the famous springs in northern Xinjiang and delivered to your home quickly.

When you want to drink tea, use the best charcoal to boil it.

Tea is good tea from the north, and more than three hundred kilograms are produced every year. Jin Shun is willing to spend a lot of money, and he can get two kilograms every year.

The pale face and the eyebrows were sharply raised at the top, giving him a more ferocious look.

On her slightly chubby hands, the fingernails are neatly trimmed, with no flaws visible.

Holding a water cup that was said to be used by Prime Minister Chen Guo, Jin Shun smiled and said: "To be honest, I even thought about settling in Taoxian County. I have found a way to settle down, but who would have thought that Chang'an and Ningxing would end up in trouble."

The means of dropping salt roads.

Without salt, this person can't live. What's the prestige, what's the overall situation. Look at history, every time in troubled times, the people are so hungry that their children's eyes turn green.

Guang. After all, he knows that tiger poison does not eat the seeds, so he simply eats them with others. The meat of the children is so tender!"

Li Rong, the steward who had just delivered a batch of lacquerware to Taoxian County, felt something surge in his throat, "Lang Jun, but Duke Qin's side... After all, martial arts are at their peak!"

"It's useless!" Jin Shun said disdainfully: "What's the use of him even if he destroys Cangzhou? There is no salt growing in the fields of Cangzhou! His army will be in chaos without salt. You wait and see, it will take a few months at most.

, this northern Xinjiang is in chaos."

"We have to be more careful!" Li Rong reminded, "After all, Chang'an hates people who follow Northern Xinjiang, including businessmen."

"Ho ho ho!" Jin Shun laughed, "After I learned that Chang'an and Ningxing were cut off from the salt road, I spread the news to the outside world. After selling this batch of lacquerware, we will return to Chang'an. Take this

With credit, where can’t you make money?”

Li Rong was overjoyed, "The father-in-law hates Yang Xuan..."

"When you get back, please see the steward of the father-in-law's family and report the credit for your work. I wonder if I can also be a small official." Jin Shun became more and more happy, "I have made a lot of money, so I want to take care of others, so I

I want to be a master. If so, I will become an official!"

Knock, knock, knock! Someone is knocking on the door.

"Come in!" Jin Shun was a little dissatisfied with his interest being interrupted.

The door opened, and a servant said outside the door: "Mr. Lang, someone wants to see you."

"Who is it?" Jin Shun said impatiently: "If you don't know me, just say I'm not here!"

"Do you know me?"

The servant was picked up by the collar and thrown over.

An old man stood outside the door.

"You bitch slave, come here, fight him out, fight...He Lianyan!?"

Ru'an turned sideways and He Lianyan walked in.

Jin Shun smiled flatteringly, "I've seen the commander. If something happens, just call the villain..."

"Jin Shun." He Lianyan looked at him, "It turns out that you were just a small businessman. It was the state that opened up the trade routes and allowed you to become a big business. Is there anything wrong with you waiting for me?"

Jin Shun's cheeks trembled, "Why did the commander say this? The Duke is as kind as a mountain to me!"

"So, why did the news about the salt shortage leak out?"

Jin Shun was shocked, "It's unfair!"

"Take it!"

He Lianyan waved his hands, and two strong men stepped forward, kicked Jin Shun down, and then tied him up.

"You don't have any accomplices?"

He Lianyan asked those words not to be verbose, but to test whether there was someone behind the scenes.

He Lianrong said: "The commander wants to find evidence that officials are involved in this matter?" He Lianyan nodded, "There is no need to hide this matter from you. The Jinyiwei has been in a lot of limelight recently, and some people in the Jiedushi family said that we are being domineering.

Well, although the Duke has not said anything, we must at least give him credit. If we can catch a few officials where they are hurting..."

He Lianrong's eyes narrowed, "Commander, this move is a bit domineering."

"I know." He Lianyan said: "Jinyiwei has been very low-key since its establishment. But being too low-key is not a good thing."

He Lianrong suddenly realized, "That's right, let's make a fuss and let the outside world criticize it. Only in this way can the prince of the country be at ease."

"I'm not worried about the Duke's suspicion, but..." Helian Yan smiled sweetly, "As the Duke's confidant, the Jin Yiwei also has a face. If you let those officials point their fingers, you will lose the Duke's face."

She turned around and walked out, "Take it away!"

Jin Shun was dragged out and shouted: "This is just business..."

He Lianrong smiled, "Are you going against the officials? This is also a check and balance. The Duke has never said anything, but the commander has taken the initiative to check and balance. If it were someone else, the Duke would probably take action."

Jin Shun was taken to Jinyiwei, and after being tortured, he was sent to Yang Xuan.

"It's just that I'm not optimistic about it, so I want to switch to Yang Songcheng." He Lianyan was a little annoyed, "But he forgot that it was Beijiang and the Duke who made him make money."
