"Ah, understand, understand!" The private salt dealer accepted the silver and said to Huo Jingchen: "I could tell at a glance that this man is a serious man. Tell me, it seems like you did the same thing just now, in our Guhuo Huo
The city cannot be broken."
Huo Jingchen looked at the private salt dealer and sneered: "You are just serious. Let me tell you the truth. This is the first time I have come out to be a comprador. I think the price of official salt is high, so my kickbacks will be high!"
"Customer, come with me!" The salt dealer said to the two people while putting away his stall: "What you said is right, but the price depends on the cost. The official salt is everywhere.
The high price of taxes is given to the country. However, this private salt has no cost except labor. To be disrespectful, if you make private salt, you will share the profits of the country!”
Jiang Hexi murmured in a low voice: "You have taken all the profits of the country, so what will the emperor eat?"
The salt merchant put away the cart in his hand and walked towards a salt farm in the south of the city. Yijiang Shangyijiang said that he sold private salt and had his experience of pretending to be official salt.
Jiang Hexi asked in a low voice: "I have heard that some iodine is added to the official salt. It will not cause poisoning if you eat it. Have you added iodine to the private salt now?"
"I added a hammer to him!" The salt merchant looked at Jiang Hexi angrily: "Aren't those who are not made up by the black-hearted government to bully the common people? I don't believe that he can save you just by saving those trivial things.
”
Huo Jingchen quickly smoothed out and said, "I'm afraid it's more or less useful, right?"
The salt merchant nodded and smiled, "That's natural, but most people eat at home. How many people go to the restaurant every day? You won't die if you eat a few less meals. Are you right?"
Jiang Hexi looked at the salt merchant in entangledly. Even if he felt something was wrong, he couldn't say it. After all, he was begging others now. If he said something was wrong, would this salt dealer still sell salt to himself?
After walking about three miles, they arrived at the Salt Village. The packages outside the Salt Village were all regular salt from the government. The salt merchant opened a small door and led Huo Jingchen in, saying, "Come on, the goods you want
Here, these goods are about 20% of the price outside, but you can sell them at 50% or 80%!"
Jiang Hexi grabbed a handful of white salt and placed it under the light to see it. It was crystal clear.
Then he looked at the salt merchant knowingly and said, "Are we not afraid of being seen by others in the river when we buy these things?"
The salt merchant shook his head confidently and smiled, "Look? He said he could just look? You don't even look at who is covering us. Fourteenth Prince, do you know? We paid him the protection fee!
”
Jiang Hexi frowned, looked at the salt merchant, and said helplessly: "In this way, aren't you going to pay taxes in disguise again?"
The salt merchant shrugged helplessly and looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "I said you are new to you and don't know anything. The world is as dark as crows. Guhuo City is the territory of the prince. If you are not filial to the prince, the prince will report to the emperor.
,Aren’t we finished?"
"I'm afraid it's Liu Xinhua who came to ask you again?" Jiang Hexi asked.
"General Liu?" The salt merchant seemed to hear the name of a god, and his eyes shone at Jiang Hexi: "Why have you heard of General Liu's name? Yes, it's him, he is a big celebrity around the prince,
All our money is filial to him."
Huo Jingchen curled his lips and looked at the salt merchant and asked, "Then have you seen him?"
"You said the Fourteenth Prince?" The salt merchant shrugged, pointed at his nose, and smiled, "Don't joke. Who is the Fourteenth Prince? Can we meet just by saying that we can meet Mr. Liu?
We will have a blessing for three lifetimes.”
Huo Jingchen looked at the salt merchant, shook his head carefully, and smiled, "Okay, okay, give us a big cart, we will come and get it another day." As he said that, he gave me thirty taels of silver and placed it in this salt merchant
In the hands.
The salt merchant happily accepted the silver and kept bowing.
"I think this General Liu is really bad. It seems that he has to be involved in any industry." Jiang Hexi gritted his teeth and looked at Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen said helplessly: "Isn't it? This is obviously a trick to seize the robbery and covers the sky with one hand. If he really becomes the prime minister, he will probably be in a dark place."
Jiang Hexi shook her head helplessly, remembering the handsome, elegant and indifferent appearance of fame and fortune, she said helplessly: "This is really aggrieved by the Fourteenth Prince. She worked diligently and honestly all her life, but she was still in a remote place.
slander."
Huo Jingchen looked at Jiang Hexi: "You feel sorry for him, why don't you go and help him!"
Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Jingchen's appearance, poked his head and smiled, "I said depressed words again. Are we all helping the prince now? Besides, the prince has returned to Beijing, so what else is unhappy?"
Huo Jingchen shrugged and smiled, "It's nothing to be unhappy, but I didn't expect that Liu Xinhua could use such a way to others."
Jiang Hexi smiled helplessly, looked at Huo Jingchen and said, "This is because the country people are too honest and have no sense of defense!"
Huo Jingchen looked at the distance quietly, pondered for a while, and said to Jiang Hexi: "Hey, I don't have to worry so much about things. After all, I already know everything now. When the prince takes action himself, he will not attack any rumors.
Broken."
Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Jingchen's helpless look and asked in a low voice: "Then, will the prince be misunderstood?"
Huo Jingchen asked, "What did you say are misunderstood? Your Majesty? I believe that's not. This time the prince went to Beijing to report so sincerely, and it was well-founded. Even if Your Majesty is a tyrant monarch, he would not dare to do so.
Clear your hands!"
Jiang Hexi nodded and saw a pavilion next to him, so he sat down and leaned on Huo Jingchen's shoulder.
Guhuo is a place suitable for love. The willows and fragrant grass here always feel more gentle and passionate than those in the capital.
Before, I followed the emperor, but I could only be a foil for the front and back of the horse. When the emperor fell asleep, I was already exhausted.
Now that I finally could take a rest quietly, Jiang Hexi naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and then leaned against his strong chest, closed his eyes and felt the spring outside.
Huo Jingchen gently hugged the soft Jiang Hexi, as if he had returned to his first love. At that time, he was still guarding the presence of wolves in Qinghe. Both of them were so nervous, without a trace of slack of slack.
