Inside the study.

Qin Huaidao smiled and said nothing in the face of inquiry, don't say that there is no way, even if there is a way, don't say it, Li Er wants to die, then do it, what does it matter to yourself?

Fang Xuanling was anxious: "If the virtuous nephew has a way, he will say bluntly, the old man will preside, there is no need for you to come forward, the world is finally stable, and there must be no more accidents." ”

For the sake of Datang, Fang Xuanling broke his heart.

Qin Huaidao could see that Fang Xuanling had ideals and beliefs in his heart, and the people's sufferings, he was a good official, but he was also easy to offend people, so he couldn't help but remind: "Uncle Shi, the saint wants to increase his income, and he wants to support a new force, at this time, anyone can jump out and oppose it, but Uncle Fang, you old people, can't do it, it will only backfire, so that the saint will become more and more determined, it's better to go with the flow." ”

"But?" It's not that Fang Xuanling doesn't understand, but he is unwilling to have a good country and a dispute again.

"Shibo, go back, if there is anything to derive a face in the future, I am afraid that the saint has already stared at Qinjiazhuang, it is not a good thing for you and me to have close contacts, and you will be implicated, and when you are no longer an official in the court, you will come to Qinjiazhuang, and I will keep a suite for you here."

Fang Xuanling understood the deep meaning of his words, stared at Qin Huaidao and asked, "Does it have to be like this?" ”

"I just want to protect myself!"

In a word, there are countless sorrows.

Fang Xuanling instantly understood Qin Huaidao's thoughts, he protected the country and made countless meritorious contributions, even if the court didn't reward him, he was forced to try his best to protect himself, who could feel better?

The next moment, Fang Xuanling got up and said solemnly: "You are a good boy, as long as you are dedicated to the people of the world, the old man is behind you." ”

After saying that, he strode away, they are all smart people, and many things don't need to be broken.

Qin Huaidao didn't get up to see him off, and looked at Fang Xuanling's back as he left, and said with a wry smile: "Good boy?" ”

The good guy card will only be aggrieved if it is sent by a beautiful woman, but it is different when it is sent by Fang Xuanling, a famous minister through the ages, Qin Huaidao was a little proud, and when he saw Jia Youcai probing his brain at the door, he hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Jia, come in." ”

"Fang Xiang is gone?" Jia Youcai came in.

"Haven't been gone for a long time, what's wrong?"

Jia Youcai hurriedly said: "Someone said that I saw the young master's carriage at the door of the department store, and came to ask to see if the young master went there in person, or if the carriage was used privately." ”

"I went there and happened to be looking for you." Qin Huaidao sat up straight, his face was solemn: "It is possible that the imperial court will collect the salt from the official, and it is not allowed to sell it privately, and secretly eat all the rock salt in the imperial court within tomorrow, and then send someone to secretly purchase the salt in the hands of other salt merchants, buy as much as you want, and Qinjiazhuang will open a warehouse to store it." ”

"How can this be the case when the imperial court is taken over by the government?" Jia Youcai's face changed greatly.

"Don't worry about that."

Qin Huaidao continued: "Uncle Jia, give you three days to collect as much as possible, but the batch of salt in the imperial court must be eaten all, and after three days, the sale of snowflake salt will be stopped to the outside world, and only sold to those who help the government work." ”

Li Er wants to die, and Qin Huaidao is ready to give him a ride.

Jia Youcai's face changed, and he reminded: "Young master, don't sell it to the outside world, what should I do if so much salt is left to spoil?" That's a lot of money. ”

"Don't ask, I've got my own considerations."

Although Jia Youcai felt sorry for the silver, he also knew his identity and position, there was a difference between master and servant, and he couldn't cross the line, so he promised to go in a hurry.

Qin Huaidao also hurriedly went out to see the paper printing, paper money is the next killer feature.

As soon as they walked to the gate, they saw Li Dejian and Luo Zhang coming together, dusty, but in good spirits, the two also saw Qin Huaidao, quickly turned over and dismounted, hugged their fists and shouted: "Brother Qin!" Uncle! ”

"Coming back? Follow me. Qin Huaidao was overjoyed and led the two back to the study.

After the guest and host sat down, Qin Huaidao boiled water to make tea and asked, "Is it still smooth?" ”

Li Dejian hurriedly replied: "Everything is going well, I met many tribes along the way, and they were warmly received when they heard our identity, especially Qibi Shamen, who gave us a thousand good horses for free, and the relationship was too big, and it was not a good thing for the court to know about it, and it was hidden in a mountain villa on the way." ”

Horses are strategic materials, the imperial court is very strict, and private individuals will not be allowed to raise too much, Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up when he heard a thousand good horses, and he looked at Luo Zhang and said, "Secretly transported to Chashan." ”

"Understood!" Luo Zhang nodded knowingly.

With a thousand good horses, the thousand people who were secretly trained could turn into cavalry, and their mobility increased greatly, Qin Huaidao looked at Li Dejian again.

Li Dejian was smart and didn't ask about Chashan, and continued: "The goods transported over were exchanged for a large number of cowhides, wool, and a large number of live cattle and sheep, and the people on the grassland had no silver, so they could only barter the goods, but we can earn more than five times the profit this time." ”

"Wool and cowhide are good things, Chang'an workshop to make bedding, boots can be used, go back and arrange to transport over, as for the live cattle and sheep, the cattle on the grassland are beef cattle, can not work in the field, raising too hard, kill a batch and put it in the cave for backup, a few days ago let people dig in the back mountain

The cave, which has a large amount of ice in it, is suitable for storage, and then sends a cow and sheep to the tea mountain to improve the food, and the rest is sold in the market and exchanged for silver. ”

"It's too expensive to raise forage, and you still need someone to guard it, and there is a place to store it, and the ice won't be bad, this method is good." Li Dejian was worried and didn't know what to do, and when he heard that there was a cave frozen, his eyes lit up.

"The next batch of goods will mainly pull liquor, soap, tea and salt, and bring less others." Qin Huaidao admonished.

"Salt? On the grassland, it's something more precious than silver, do we have it? Li Dejian was a little surprised.

Even Luo Zhang was full of surprise.

"Take a look." Qin Huaidao took out a packet of snowflake salt, opened it, and put it on the eucalyptus.

The two of them tasted a little, their eyes lit up suddenly, and after exchanging glances, Li Dejian hurriedly said: "This salt is of very high quality, there is no bitter smell, it is easy to transport, it is definitely a big profit, there is a great demand for salt on the grassland, how much can we pull over?" ”

"Pull a thousand catties, prepare for five days, you finally come back, rest for a few more days, don't worry." Qin Huaidao smiled, there are many salt merchants in Chang'an, but there are no who dare to go north into the grassland, they have a unique business, even if they buy salt from Chang'an salt merchants at a high price, pulling it to the grassland is blood to earn.

There is no salt in Chang'an City, ordinary people can buy it through relatives and friends who work in Qinjiazhuang, who doesn't have relatives and friends acquaintances? As long as he comes to buy, Qin Huaidao will not delve into his true identity and give the people a way to live, but there are rich families in Chang'an City, but no one works in Qinjiazhuang, and there is no channel to buy salt, so I have to see how Li Er responds.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao became more and more determined to increase the purchase of salt.

When Li Dejian heard so much, he was overjoyed, and quickly calculated in his heart, and said: "A thousand catties can definitely be exchanged for 10,000 sheep, a sheep is worthless in the grassland, but in Chang'an, it costs a few hundred Wen, how much does it cost us to pay a pound of salt?" ”

"Less than three texts."

Li Dejian shouted incredulously: "What, such high-quality salt is actually ......"

Qin Huaidao hurriedly interrupted: "You two just know, don't spread it, in addition, when you leave, go to the ancestral hall of Qinjiazhuang, bring 100 catties back home per person, and tell your family that don't eat those green salt and sea salt in the future, it's not good for your health, and you will come back to get it after eating." ”

The two quickly nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, the two got up to leave, Qin Huaidao motioned for Li Dejian to go first, and asked Luo Zhang: "Li Xueyan has a younger sister who is also at the age of leaving the cabinet, do you have any ideas?" ”

"Auntie's own sister?" Luo Zhang asked, seeing Qin Huaidao nodding, he felt that the seniority was a little chaotic, a beautiful woman's shadow flashed in his mind, hesitated, and said: "People do know, but they are not familiar with it, and they don't know how to behave, but I listen to Uncle." ”

"Don't, it's your own decision, don't rush to reply, go back first, I'm afraid Chang'an won't be peaceful during this time, don't run around if you have nothing to do, come to Qinjiazhuang to help if you can't be idle."

"Remember!" Luo Zhang agreed.

Sending Luo Zhang away, Qin Huaidao came to the backyard to find Li Xueyan, explained the situation, and had to do what he had promised, whether he wanted to interfere or not, although the marriage between the two families was a good thing, but after all, he came from later generations, and he was a little resistant to marriage, but he didn't object, and hurriedly went to the printing workshop.

Li Xueyan saw Qin Huaidao's thoughts, and others didn't care, they couldn't make trouble for themselves, and they might even cause disgust to their own men, but her sister couldn't ignore it, so she quickly found her personal maid Xiaoyu and advised: "You go back home, tell your father, and say that Luo Zhang is home, don't say anything else, my father knows how to do it." ”

Xiao Yu knew the inside story and promised to leave in a hurry.
