Chapter 3172 The beauty of pork

As soon as Thursday Lang left Yangzhou on the front foot, Tang He arrived with someone on the back foot.

In addition to the people from the Yushitai, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, Tang He also brought five hundred forbidden troops.

Because there were too many people, they were stationed directly outside the city.

With these 500 banned troops, the assassins who appeared every once in a while disappeared in an instant.

Tang He and Yang Heshu said, "Originally, we only brought fifty Imperial Guards with us. Your Majesty gave us a military talisman, thinking that if something happens, we can mobilize the local garrison. I didn't expect that we encountered two assassins along the way."

"After we wrote the letter, His Majesty directly asked the five hundred Imperial Guards to rush over, and we arrived together."

Regardless of the small number, five hundred people are still carefully selected banned troops, not to mention just the salt field, even if the entire Yangzhou garrison turns against them, they are not afraid, not to mention that Tang He has a military talisman in his hand, and Yang Heshu is more direct. Soldier's power.

Tang He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, tell me where do we start?"

Yang Heshu smiled slightly and said, "I know where they hid the official salt."

Tang He raised his eyebrows and said with a thumbs up, "On this point alone, they won't lose."

Tang He and Sanbu have been seriously investigating for a period of time, and after checking some circumstances, on a quiet night in the moonlight, their people started working together and directly took the place where the official salt was hidden, including the officials in charge of the various salt farms... …

Hiding official salt, that is, embezzling official salt and using it as private salt, not to mention that Yang Heshu also found out the amount of fake official salt they traded a few years ago and embezzling the tax on ink and salt.

Each one is enough to kill the head.

The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is changing, but the news spreads very slowly, and Qingzhou still doesn't know anything.

As autumn approached, more and more people came to buy salt. After Bai Shan asked about the origin of the people, he stayed in Qingzhou or introduced them to Shouguang County;

Near Laizhou, he recommended it to Laizhou;

If it is closer to Dengzhou, he recommends going to Dengzhou.

Of course, he won't let people go for nothing, wouldn't that ruin the reputation of Beihai County?

So he always invited people from Laizhou and Dengzhou first, and let them bring their own salt by the way. As soon as the people who bought the salt arrived, he introduced them.

As for how they traded and how they were pulled to Laizhou and Dengzhou, he didn't care.

Bai Shan is so friendly, not only providing education and meeting, but also after-sales, which really surprised the county magistrates in Laizhou and Dengzhou.

Then the prefects of the two states couldn't help but say to the magistrate under his command: "It's no wonder that people have a bright future at a young age, and it is this kind of mind that is rare in the world."

What can county magistrates do?

Can only nod again and again, "Yes, yes."

Zhou Lang followed Bai Shan to know a lot of people.

He should have gone back to the capital a long time ago, and the speed by sea is much faster. If he grasps the time well, it would be enough to go to sea again a year ago.

But after drinking that night, although he didn't lose sleep, he didn't plan to go back to Beijing. Instead, under the banner of protecting Zhou Man and Bai Shan, he started running between Longchi and Longchi in the county seat.

At first, he planned to take people to guard the county town, but he followed Bai Shanzhou for two days, and found that they were not only accompanied by guards, but also accompanied by yamen. He quietly got up several times at night, and found that there were guards guarding the night in the open and secret, so he felt relieved. .

This reassurance, he was unwilling to be lonely again, and ran to Longchi every few minutes to sell some of the goods in his hand, secondly, he was looking at the shops over Longchi to buy something, and thirdly, for the sake of returning from The merchant buys something that he thinks will sell well.

He ran up and down happily, and Bai Shan has recently been keen to lead officials who came to buy official salt to walk around. Longchi Wharf, one of the mainstays of the economy, is one of the most important concerns.

He especially likes to recommend that buyers take the salt back on the official ship, which is not only fast but also safe.

Xuzhou Caimao, who followed him all the way in confusion, looked at the pier with a bewildered face. He was heading west, what sea route would he take?

Do you want to take a boat to Cangzhou, Pingzhou, and then circle back to Xuzhou from there?

Thurs Lang got to know a lot of people behind Bai Shan.

Although he didn't see any use for the time being, it was like he didn't understand why Bai Shan kept taking people to see his official Tian Zhuangzi.

You know, these are officials who buy official salt, not farmers.

Chu Chulang bumped into his brother-in-law and said in a low voice, "You're wasting your time, and you're wasting a lot of money. I heard that you are keen to invite people to dinner?"

Bai Shandao: "There are many pigs and chickens raised in Guantian Zhuangzi. I have to find a good market in advance. Although the county can consume it now, the more the harvest will be, the more it will be harvested, and it will definitely not be consumed by then."

He said: "Like Qizhou, several states in Yanzhou are close to our Qingzhou, if they are willing to buy these things from our county..."

Even if the salt field is taken over by the Salt Transport Division, his official Tian Zhuangzi can still generate a lot of income and can do a lot of things.

Thursday Lang: "It's a pity that pigs and chickens are not easy to carry. Otherwise, I can take them out for you. If you sell them along the way, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Castrated pigs and chickens do have better meat quality, and it is easier to grow meat for slaughter, which saves a lot of grain.

Bai Shan put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, I actually think it's alright. I won't talk about chickens, but pigs can drive away like cows..."

Thursday Lang took his hand off, "No, don't you fool me, can pigs and cows be the same? I only need to bring some grass or bean fodder in the car with the cow, and I can eat some grass on the road. And keep them alive."

"But pigs, if I don't feed them well, believe it or not, they can kill all the meat you've managed to raise when you get there." Thursday Lang said: "Eat pork depends on the fat, if the meat doesn't Now, didn't I smash my hands?"

Bai Shan has never raised pigs, so he just watched the fun, so he didn't take this into consideration, and was dumbfounded, "Then I can't sell my pork?"

"It's not that much," said Thursday Lang after thinking about it, "Didn't you say that Qizhou is close to Qingzhou? You sell it in Qingzhou first, and then slowly sell it to Qizhou. Do you raise so many pigs? Should the two states be able to consume it?"

Bai Shan slumped his shoulders and said, "I think it's okay, but everyone is reluctant to eat meat, so what can you do if you don't buy me?"

Thurou:  …

Bai Shan sighed.

Zhou Chulang hesitated: "I remember that pork is cheaper than other meats. Rich people may not look down on pork, but their family background is average, even poor people don't buy it?"

Bai Shan: "They don't know the beauty of pork, and they are reluctant to buy meat. When they really have to buy meat, they would rather choose chicken and mutton at a high price that will not make mistakes."

Shirou touched his chin and said, "Then let them know the beauty of pork."

Bai Shan thought for a while and raised his eyebrows at him.

Chuu Lang smiled and said, "Let my sister-in-law make some meat dishes with pork and put them at the booth. Let them taste it, and they will naturally know the deliciousness of pork."

See you tomorrow, good night
