Mouse is definitely the most carefree person in Yangjiatun now.
There was nothing else. Zhang Zhun gave him hundreds of taels of silver without hesitation, allowing him to expand the intelligence network and cover the entire Fushan City. Mouse had the talent to do intelligence, but after receiving a large amount of financial help, he naturally became more powerful. Under Mouse, more than a dozen intelligence backbones gathered, and there were rats in each village in Fushan Station, and the information was transmitted back and forth very quickly.
Of course, Zhang Zhun also gave Mouse some guidance and systematically operated the intelligence work. In general, Mouse may not be very clear about the movements and stills in Fushan City. However, as long as someone comes out of Fushan City, Mouse will know immediately. Monkeys know, basically it means that Zhang Zhun knows. Therefore, if Wang Shixin and his minions want to leave the city to find trouble for Yangjiatun, they must first pass the mouse level.
Another task of mouse is to collect information about salt owls. The information shows that the salt owls are still very active on the road to Jimo County where Fushan Mountain is coming. The fine salt in Yangjiatun has not been disturbed yet, but it does not mean that they will not be disturbed in the future. Zhang Zhun's meaning is to take the initiative to attack these salt owls at appropriate times and expel them all from the country.
The price of two taels of silver for each burden of private salt also made each village in Fushan District full of yearning for Yangjiatun. Especially the young people in each village wanted to know what happened in Yangjiatun. Some people quietly came to Yangjiatun to inquire about the news, but in the end, they were all politely rejected, refusing to enter Yangjiatun. Even some people who had contact with Yangjiatun before were blocked outside Yangjiatun at this time.
"This is our captain's order."
"Who is our captain?"
"Our captain is Zhang Yulin."
"You don't know the name of our captain? It means you're too ignorant."
...
The guards on guard say the most similar words.
Zhang Yulin's name began to spread throughout the Fushan District. Even the children knew that there was an amazing Zhang Yulin in Yangjiatun.
The second purpose of the huge profit of fine salt is to improve the life of the Yang family and the lives of the villagers.
I couldn’t eat pork that I hadn’t eaten once a few months, but now I can eat it occasionally. In fact, it’s okay to eat it every day, but I just feel it’s a waste. Because fish doesn’t cost and it’s richer than pork. Two meals of rice a day are a must-have, and only when I’m full can I have the energy to work. With white rice, of course, white flour will not be missing.
I have thirty cents of wages every day and I have white rice. I never lack fish and I can still eat pork in three or five days. The villagers who come to help with the work are very motivated. Their good treatment greatly encouraged the soldiers of the guards, and their training has become more active.
Again, it was put on the guards.
The most basic loyalty of the army is to see who eats and who gets the salary. After having enough funds, Zhang Zhun specially invited several women to cook for the soldiers of the guard team alone. He specially built more than a dozen thatched huts near the Red Rock Beach, as the "barracks" of the guard team. Next to the barracks, he also built a special canteen to have a group meal every day.
The soldiers no longer need to go home for dinner, which saved their families a single person's food. The food in the guard team was better than that of the workers. Every day, the rice was full, the fish was full, the vegetables were full, and the pork was eaten once every three days. When the training was hard, you could still eat beef.
The members of the guard team train hard on a daily basis and consume a lot of physical energy. Every time they return home, they have to compete with their families for food. Although the family is very humble and free up food for them as much as possible, the food is limited after all, and no matter what, it is impossible to eat too much. Now, they can finally eat with their stomachs open.
"Enough rice!"
"Enough vegetables!"
"Enough fish and meat!"
"The pork will be enough in the future!"
Zhang Zhun made a bold statement.
From now on, the soldiers of the guards can truly achieve complete full-time training and wholehearted training. In a sense, this is a milestone. Zhang Zhun sneered at the operational model of the military soldiers who both had to fight and plow the fields. Since it was the army, the only task was to fight, and nothing else was to worry about it.
After feeding the soldiers, Zhang Zhun appropriately strengthened the training intensity and focused on cruel confrontation. At the same time, the combat methods of cooperating with two combat teams, three-man combat teams, five-man combat teams and other combat teams also began to gradually implement. Zhang Zhun criticized the soldiers who were not trained seriously enough without hesitation.
After all, once the sales of fine salt are on track, it is inevitable that the salt owl will be jealous. At that time, it is inevitable that the guards will dispatch to fight against the salt owl. The soldiers of the guards still lack practical experience. Different types of combat teams will help them defeat the enemy in a few pieces and gain combat experience. The soldiers who participated in the battle against Lei Laosan last time are completely different from the soldiers who joined later in their psychological qualities.
The guards will escort the sales of Jingyan, and more and more tasks will be escorted Jingyan to Jimo. Because of the confidentiality of the news, there will be no salt owls to make up their minds for the time being. However, as time goes by, people from the outside world will always know the existence of Jingyan. At that time, it will be said whether the escort team of thirty people can ensure the safety of Jingyan.
Wang Shixin would definitely not sit idly by and watch Yangjiatun purify the fine salt leisurely. It is inevitable to make trouble. He may even join forces with the Salt Inspection Department, Bing Beidao and others to make trouble. Who is not jealous of the huge profits of fine salt? The greatest ability of officials in the Ming Dynasty was to make money and grab money. If they were willing to let go of the fine salt in Yangjiatun, it would be strange.
It is conceivable that as the sales revenue of fine salt continues to increase, the tasks that the guards have to undertake will become heavier and heavier. The pressure from Fushan District, Jimo County, Laizhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, and even the pressure from the high-level officials of the imperial court may become more complicated because of fine salt. These pressures will inevitably fall on the guards in the end.
However, it is absolutely impossible for Yang Jiatun to retreat.
People die for money, birds die for food, and they give up the salt business to others. Not to mention that Zhang Zhun disagrees, even the most honest military households in Yangjiatun will not agree, and the soldiers of the escort will not agree. White rice, big fish and meat, such a life, they are unwilling to lose it if they kill them.
Zhang Zhun is also unwilling to return to his previous life.
After thinking for two days, Zhang Zhun put forward more suggestions on salt purification and the guards.
With the cooperation of Huang, Yang Yinghan was responsible for managing the money revenue and expenditure. There were only two people who could spend money: Zhang Zhun and Yang Ruifeng. However, Zhang Zhun still had to make the final measurement of the final account. After Yang Ruifeng spent the money, Yang Yinghan would report it to Zhang Zhun as soon as possible. Every night, Zhang Zhun and Yang Yinghan checked the accounts once. If there was no problem, Zhang Zhun signed and confirmed it. Only one day's account would be truly completed.
Yang Ruifeng is responsible for the purification and sales of fine salt. He should use the money he needs to use boldly. Everything is to make more profits. The more refined salt you sell, the more income you earn and the more profits you make. Before arousing strong reactions from all parties, the more money you earn, the better.
At the same time, Yang Ruifeng shoulders a very important task, which is to keep the purification process confidential. To this end, Zhang Zhun set up a purification method of the assembly line, that is, the villagers responsible for filtration and the villagers responsible for evaporation must be separated. But fundamentally, we still have to find the most core villagers. Especially the villagers who are in the guard team at home, if their children are still the backbone of the guard team, that would be even better.
Yang Kaide was responsible for talking to the military households and absorbing them into the purification of salt.
The purification process of coarse salt requires a lot of manual operation and requires a lot of labor. Moreover, buying private salt and firewood on the outside also requires a lot of labor. The elders and villagers in Yangjiatun should try their best to use it. After all, they are their own people. Only when interests are tied together can they advance and retreat together and fight against external pressure together.
At the beginning, people outside thought that what Yangjiatun picked out was just ordinary private salt, and they didn't care about it. Only the salt merchants in Jimo County knew that during this period, the source of fine salt seemed to have some guarantees, but the quantity was still far from enough. Therefore, the price of fine salt remained at 155 cents per catty, without changing.
As time went by, by late March, smart people began to notice the existence of Yangjiatun. The information fed back by the mouse was that some unknown people appeared in Zhaojiatun in the north, asking about the source of Jingyan. Locals have told them that Jingyan comes from Yangjiatun in the south. At the same time, the salt owls in Jimo County also made movements. However, strangely, the movements of these salt owls seemed to be implicated by a mysterious hand. They were active for two days and disappeared collectively.
“Keep a close watch.”
Zhang Zhun did not dare to be careless about Yan Xiao's movements, and repeatedly told the mouse to be careful.
Now Yangjiatun sends hundreds of kilograms of fine salt every day. If it is robbed, the losses will be huge. If there are casualties, it will be even more serious.
"I know."
Mouse felt a great responsibility and personally went to Zhaojiatun, the northernmost part of the country, to arrange personnel.
Zhang Zhun also strengthened the protection work. The guard team had set up a checkpoint outside Yangjiatun to intercept strangers. Yang Zixuan was the one who led the team these two days. He reported that in just two days, four strangers came to ask about Jingyan. The guard team responded that they didn't know, as Zhang Zhun's instructions. However, the strangers did not go far and stayed in Renjiatun, not far away. It seemed that these people should have stood in front of them, and there would be big figures coming later.
It was soon March 29, the seventh year of Chongzhen. At noon that day, Zhang Zhun was guiding the guards to conduct lurking training. Yang Yinghan sent Yang Gansheng to report in a hurry, saying that someone asked her to see her by name. It seemed very formal and professional. She was unsure and asked Zhang Zhun to come back to make an idea.
"Someone came to her by name?"
Zhang Zhun was also strange inside and rushed back immediately.
