The sky is as clear as a wash, and the dust is not clean.

A small mountain village is hidden in the middle of a green forest, and only some of the buildings are visible, but the blue bricks and tiles are puzzling. How could such a rich village be hidden in such a remote place.

In the center of the village is an imposing mansion, with two tall stone lions outside the door showing their teeth and claws, and the vermilion lacquer gate shows the heritage of this family, which is not to be despised by people.

But today, dozens of villagers dressed in native clothes and cloth, led by a young scholar, armed with sharp weapons and riding tall horses, stayed in the small square in front of the mansion, staring at the gate.

Mrs. Jiang has a beautiful face, wearing a blue emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, and a light blue emerald water thin veil, her eyebrows are slender and too straight, and she looks around the crowd coldly: "You are blocking the door, it is rare that you want to ransack my Jiang Mansion?" ”

These words are very imposing, and they also put a hat on everyone, which makes some people feel pressure, and some people can't help but retreat in their hearts.

"We're not going to be robbers today!" Lin Haoran replied lightly, then looked at her again and said, "I just want to ask you, is my sister in your hands?" ”

The main purpose of coming here today is not only to show the fist of Changlin Village, but also to find the whereabouts of the tiger girl, which is what he is most concerned about at present. So when he said this, he kept capturing Mrs. Jiang's facial expression.

"What? What if you're not there? Mrs. Jiang looked at him arrogantly, with a faint disdain on the corners of her mouth.

This woman ......

Lin Haoran thinks that he has a very in-depth study of women, especially those women who say they don't want it in their mouths but want it in their hearts, he only needs a look to see it.

Just looking at Mrs. Jiang's facial expression, she couldn't see it at all, her arrogance seemed to come from the bones, there was no half of falsehood and disguise, she was indeed ignoring him, ignoring him, ignoring him, the little Sanyuanlang.

"Nineteen, why don't we rush in and take a look, and see if the tiger girl is locked up by them?" Da Biao is a fiery person, and seeing her so arrogant, he proposed.

But it's not just Da Biao, many people behind him are ready to move.

Now that they have sharp weapons in their hands, and there are many people, they directly ignore the more than 20 families and nursing homes below. As long as Lin Haoran gave an order, they dared to kill it.

Lin Haoran stared at it for a moment, and then asked Mrs. Jiang in a deep voice: "Ah Liu's leg was broken by you, and Xiaocui's hand was picked by you, what do you say?" ”

"It's just two cheap slaves, if they are abolished, what else can they do, do you still want to use this to find my Jiangfu bad luck?" Mrs. Jiang looked a little disdainful and said lightly.

From her tone, it was not that she really wanted to deliberately provoke the people of Changlin Village, but that she thought so from the bottom of her heart. The slaves and maids below are all inferior, and she is the only one who is superior.

Cluck......

A group of young men in Changlin Village listened to it, their teeth clucking.

Ah Liu actually followed, and he secretly got on the horse and followed everyone. Looking at Mrs. Jiang at this time, I couldn't wait to rush up and fight with him, because this woman really doesn't treat her subordinates as human beings, and there is no one in the mansion who doesn't hate her.

It's just that he just wanted to act, but he was stopped by others. These legs are all wasted, how can they still fight with others, although they are unwilling, but this Jiang Mansion is indeed not an idle person.

"Aren't you afraid that I will sue the magistrate?" Lin Haoran had a gloomy face, and asked Mrs. Jiang again.

"Zhixian? It's nothing more than a matter of making some silver, and I have a lot of money in Jiangfu! Mrs. Jiang snorted coldly, and then sneered again: "By the way, Xinzhi County is from a high background, right?" But I don't know, does he dare to accept my family's money! ”

This woman!

Lin Haoran didn't like this arrogant face very much, his hand was tightly gripping the horse rope, and he wanted to rush over with someone to slaughter this woman. However, he knows that the other party does have arrogant capital.

For a long time, many people have wondered why Jiangcun is so rich. The village not only spent a lot of money to build such a beautiful house, but also built a continuous academy for the children in the village, and there are many industries in Gaozhou Mansion, especially the largest Gaosheng gambling house.

Jiangfu can be so rich, in fact, it depends on one word: salt.

For thousands of years, salt has been under the unified management of the government. The salt industry was an important source of financial taxation for the imperial court in the past dynasties, and the salt tax was the second largest tax source after the field tax in the past dynasties.

Salt is the foundation of people's livelihood, and people can't do without it at all, so it indirectly proves that "Peach Blossom Spring" is just a fictional book.

Therefore, the salt merchants are actually in the business of making a profit without losing money, and the price is all up to them. In ancient times, many celebrities actually started by smuggling salt, such as Cheng Biting Jin, who started by selling smuggled salt.

It's just that it's not so easy to engage in salt trading, and it requires not only the right time and place, but also the right people.

The Ming Dynasty set up two salt class lifting divisions in the Liangguang region, namely the Guangdong Salt Lifting Division and the Haibei Salt Lifting Division.

Guangdong Salt Division, located in Guangzhou Prefecture, has 14 salt farms under its jurisdiction, and the main jurisdiction is in the Pearl River Delta. The Haibei Salt Division is located in Lianzhou Prefecture, with 15 salt farms under its jurisdiction, and the main jurisdictions are in western Guangdong and the coastal areas of Guangxi.

The Salt Division is not subject to local control, but is subordinate to the Ministry of Households, and is the highest authority for local salt management. Officials and businessmen who need to sell salt need to obtain salt from this department before they can go to the salt factory to extract salt.

The Haibei Salt Section Lifting Division is undoubtedly the fragrant and sweet food in western Guangdong, which is the time and place for the people of western Guangdong.

Jiangfu didn't know what the relationship was, or whether it was the right way to operate, opened up the relationship between the Haibei Salt Division and became the largest salt merchant in the Haibei Salt Division.

There is nothing more beneficial to the world than salt.

It is precisely by engaging in the most profitable business of the Ming Dynasty that Jiangfu is simply making money every day and has accumulated a rich net worth. Not to mention the small stone city, even the entire Leizhou Mansion, there are few people who can compare with them.

How can such a huge rich family look at a poor village, and how can they be afraid of dozens of mountain and wild people.

"Let's go!"

Lin Haoran glanced at Mrs. Jiang hatefully, and then patted her horse and headed towards the west of the village.

The reality is so ruthless, this Jiangfu is not a small landlord, but a huge rich man of the times. Previously, he had always wondered why there was a road through Lianzhou, and the industrial center of gravity of the Dare Jiangfu was actually in Lianzhou, and the Haibei Salt Division was raised.

It's just that he can't swallow this breath, even if he knows that Jiang Fu is a fierce tiger, he still wants to knock on this tiger's head.
