After the man finished speaking, a diner answered, "We have enough salt in Ningchao and don't need to buy it from Northern Xinjiang. This is a great thing, but no news has spread at all."
Then someone else echoed, "That's right, my second uncle is a salt merchant. I went to see him yesterday, and he was still worried about the salt business. He was worried that the salt business would not be successful this year. The court was hiding this from ordinary people like us.
Forget it, it won’t keep even the salt merchants in the dark, right?”
There is no airtight wall in the world. There are more corrupt officials and collusion between officials and businessmen in the imperial court. His second uncle, who works early in the morning and works late in the day, does not earn as much as the corrupt officials who respect him. Corrupt officials are the most lax, and it is impossible for no news to leak out.
come out.
Jiang Zhao's analysis is reasonable, but it is also true that there is no leakage in the court.
Everyone was talking and arguing.
The man in blue looked at the man in green brocade robe and said, "Brother Jiang Zhao, you should be more cautious about the salt judgment. If someone really believes you and doesn't grab the salt, the court salt will not only not lower the price, but also go crazy."
If it goes up, you will be scolded badly."
The man in green brocade robe did not reply to him, but looked at Su Tang and Xie Boting.
He also knew that it was not advisable to discuss court matters, especially matters related to the people, and he had to be more cautious. He just couldn't bear it anymore. Even a girl had the guts to say something, but he, a seven-foot tall man, didn't dare to say anything.
, is it ridiculous to be timid?
Besides, when Su Tang and Xie Boting sat down, the boy asked them what dishes they wanted to order. Su Tang said, "Give me eight of your signature dishes from Yanlou."
The young man said happily, "Okay, Sir, would you like some wine?"
"No need," Xie Boting said.
Su Tang doesn't like the taste of wine, and Xie Boting doesn't drink unless necessary.
The boy went down to get busy, but soon, he brought a jar of Nuerhong. Su Tang raised her eyebrows, but before she could say anything, the boy said first, "This jar of Nuerhong was given to me by Young Master Jiang over there."
Both of you, as well as the table of dishes that Madam just ordered, will be charged to his account."
When the boy said this, he pointed in the direction of the man. In fact, when the man was talking about the price reduction of salt, Su Tang and Xie Boting looked back at him. After all, their analysis was spot on.
I didn't expect that I would pay the bill for them.
Su Tang looked at Xie Boting, and Xie Boting said to Chen Qing, "Go and invite them over to have dinner together."
The man gave them wine and paid the bill for them, which meant they were friends. However, there were not only Xie Boting at this table, but also female family members. Although the restaurant was a gathering place for three religions and nine streams, the etiquette that should be observed was still required. Directly
Coming over would be too abrupt.
Now Xie Boting asked Chen Qing to invite them over instead of asking the boy back to Yanlou to pass the message, which showed more sincerity.
When Chen Qing went over to invite them, the two men were ordering food. Chen Qing bowed and said, "My master, I invite you two young masters to come over and talk."
The two men looked at each other, and the man in blue brocade robe got up without hesitation. When he saw him moving, the man in blue robe quickly got up.
Chen Qing walked behind Xie Boting and stood up straight with his back against the screen. The two men came over and were about to greet Xie Boting when Xie Boting said, "Please sit down."
The two men sat down.
The man in green brocade robe smiled and introduced himself and his classmates, "I'm in Xiajiangzhao, this is my classmate Du Sili."
"Xie Boting."
Xie Boting replied and introduced Su Tang, "This is my wife." This chapter has been completed!
