It is a small map, leading from Fu County to Jiushan County, with county towns, markets, rivers, mountains, roads, mountain roads, inns, and inns marked on it.
It looks like a random drawing, very rough!
Xu Captou's expression changed, and when he saw Zhao Weimin turning around to go out, he lowered his head and said nothing!
Maps are contraband among the people, and civilians are not allowed to keep and draw them privately!
Merchants can draw simple maps, but they are only trade and cargo routes.
The maps he used for government officials were more detailed than those used by merchants and simpler than those used by the army!
Logically speaking, ordinary people can’t watch it either!
But the elder even pretended not to see it, so he could only pretend not to see it.

After Wang Yuan read the map, he remembered it all and returned it!
Xu Captou put away the map and began to remind again: "Sir, if you really go to Jiushan County, you should pay attention to that in addition to the large group of bandits, there are also small bandits on the road. It is best to equip the accompanying people with swords, so as to ensure safety.
!”
"With a sword?"
Wang Yuan was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't it stipulated by the Law of the Great Cause that ordinary people cannot hold swords?"
Xu Captou chuckled: "Of course the law stipulates that, but the world outside is not peaceful now. If you go out without a sword to defend yourself, those merchants would have been robbed by thieves. The government now turns a blind eye and only needs a sword.
Go to the government to report, pay a sum of money, and the government will issue a document, so you can naturally carry it. However, only swords, guns, swords, bows and crossbows, and armor are still contraband."
Wang Yuan chuckled and nodded: "Thank you Xu Captou for your advice!"
Xu Captou suddenly changed the subject: "I wonder if sir, are you interested in being a salt merchant?"
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Tell me about it?"
Daye sells salt, salt banknote system.
The court issued salt banknotes, and merchants spent money to buy salt banknotes. Finally, they went to the salt field and salt mine to transport the salt, and then sold the salt in an area and time based on the salt banknotes.
If you don't have salt banknotes, you are selling illegal salt. If the government catches you, you will be jailed or even beheaded.
Buying salt banknotes and becoming a salt merchant is a way for ordinary people to make a fortune!
But he has too many ways to make money and is not interested in being a salt merchant!
However, the refining technology of Daye’s salt is too poor and there are many impurities in it!
Eating it for a long time is harmful to the human body.
If given the opportunity, selling refined salt without impurities would benefit the people of the area!
However, the salt industry in Fu County has always been controlled by the Liu family. Can the government also take it back?
Xu Captou said in a low voice: "We went to Liu's house to ransack the property and found Liu's salt banknotes for next year. The county government has decided to auction them tomorrow. If you are interested, sir, you can prepare the money and try it. The eldest master said, if you get
If you start this business, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!"
Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "How much silver will it cost?"
Xu Captou said in a low voice: "There are a total of 600,000 catties of salt banknotes, and each catty costs five cents of silver. The county government will sell them at this price. However, other large households in the county will definitely compete for the salt banknotes, and the prices will be even higher."
.”
The price of salt from salt fields and salt wells is generally a few cents, and it can be sold in the market for dozens or hundreds of cents. It is all about various relationships, and the freight on the road is expensive. Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Guocang, bring ten pieces of soap!
"
Guo Cang went to the carriage and took out ten bars of soap!
Wang Yuan stuffed three pieces in his hand and said, "Don't dislike this little gadget!"
"Sir, you have broken me, how can I ask for your things!"
Holding three pieces of soap, Xu Captou wanted to put them away, but he was afraid to take them!
One piece of this soap costs three guan. Three yuan is nine guan. It’s not a small sum!
Wang Yuan ignored him and gave seven pieces of soap to Zhao Weimin, who was stunned and said: "Take it and use it. If you don't use up, you can give it to the people below!"
