Chapter 1051 Fishing Law Enforcement
The acquisition of salt is still a troublesome thing at present.

Places close to the sea can boil the sea into salt, but inland areas can only rely on salt wells.There is a salt lake in the northwest of Datang, which is easy to use, so the price of table salt in Datang is not high.

But leaving the salt lake, the only way left is well salt.

Well salt is mainly found in the southwest region, and northern Xinjiang has never ... nor carefully searched for salt wells.

Looking for it at this moment is obviously a temporary cramming.

Jin Yiwei's manpower was mobilized, and according to Yang Xuan's instructions, they went to various places in northern Xinjiang and the surrounding areas to search for news about salt wells.

There are salt wells in the north, but mining is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the end, the price of salt produced is higher than the price of official table salt, so I gave up...

This is a record. After it was found, people from Jinyiwei analyzed and searched for it based on the author's hometown.

But something went wrong inside Northern Xinjiang.

After learning that outsiders began to rush to buy salt, the Jiedu envoy's mansion was furious.

"Who leaked it?" Yang Xuan asked.

"Luxury merchant!" He Lianyan said.

Yang Xuanduan sat behind the desk, slowly raised his eyes from the paperwork, looked at Helianyan, "Who?"

"Jin Shun."

Helianyan lowered her eyes slightly.

Jin Yiwei has a lot of power, so people in Jiedushi's mansion look at her with fear, and some even ridicule her for gaining power by relying on her body behind her back.

But everyone knows that the end of power is here.

She is just a spokesperson.

"Jin Shun, what are you doing?"

"It's lacquerware."

"Luxury!"

Yang Xuan put the documents on the table and said, "Northern Xinjiang is not short of food recently, there will always be someone who will be full!"

He raised his eyebrows, and Helianyan lowered his head. "yes."

Immediately, He Lianyan resigned.

Walking out of the Jiedu envoy's mansion, He Lianyan ordered: "Ru'an keep an eye on Jinshun."

"Countless!" Ru'an went with his disciples.

"Jielong is going to investigate Jinshun's business, if there is any problem, find out for me!" He Lianyan was murderous.

"Yes!"

Jielong asked: "If there is no problem..."

He Lianyan lifted the cloak, "I said yes!"

This is a crime to be imposed on!Jielong's heart trembled, thinking of the unscrupulous power, his whole body was hot, and he said excitedly: "Take orders!"

He Lianrong said, "What about Jin Shuntu?"

No one knows the question.

The manufacture of lacquerware is complicated, time-consuming and expensive, so it is only circulated in the upper class.

Scarcity is the most precious thing, and the tyrants in northern Xinjiang are proud of using lacquerware. If there are not many lacquerware in their homes, they are embarrassed to show up when guests come.

With the development of commerce and trade in northern Xinjiang, there are more and more rich people, and the demand for luxury goods is also increasing and becoming more and more extensive.

Lacquerware is one of them.

Jinshun's business is very prosperous. Every year, his motorcade travels between Guanzhong and northern Xinjiang more than ten times, bringing lacquerware from Chang'an and various specialties from northern Xinjiang.

"Actually, before Yang Xuanli opened up the business, the old man's business was dying. After the opening of the business, the tycoons of northern Xinjiang also made a lot of money, so they were willing to spend a lot of money to buy the old man's lacquerware. The money I earned in the past two years , more than in the first half of my life. So, after all, I have to thank Qin Guogong."

Jinshun is a fastidious person, even for drinking water, the water cup is not an ordinary thing.Even the water is drawn from famous springs in northern Xinjiang and delivered to the home quickly.To drink tea, boil it over the best charcoal.

The tea leaves are good tea in the north, and more than three hundred catties are produced every year. Jinshun is willing to spend a lot of money to get two catties every year.

With a slightly pale face and eight-character eyebrows, the top end was suddenly raised, and it looked a little more fierce.

On her plump hands, the fingernails were neatly trimmed, without any flaws to be seen.

Holding the water cup that is said to have been used by Prime Minister Chen Guo, Jin Shun said with a smile: "To be honest, I even thought about settling in Taoxian County, and I have found a way to get registered, but who would have thought that Chang'an and Ningxing would have a divorce? Means off the salt road.

Without salt, the man cannot live.What prestige, what the overall situation.Looking at the history books, in troubled times, the people were so hungry that their eyes glowed green when they looked at their children.Anyway, I still know some tiger poison does not eat its seeds, so I just trade it with others.The meat of the child is so tender! "

Li Rong, the steward who had just delivered a batch of lacquerware to Tao County, had a sore throat, "Lang Jun, but Qin Guogong... after all, martial arts are at their peak!"

"It's useless!" Jin Shun said disdainfully: "What's the use of him breaking Cangzhou? The fields in Cangzhou don't grow salt! If there is no salt in his army, there will be chaos. Just wait and see, at most a few months , this northern border is in chaos."

"We have to be more careful!" Li Rong reminded, "After all, Chang'an hates those who follow Beijiang, including businessmen."

"Ho ho ho!" Jin Shun hilariously said, "After learning that Chang'an and Ningxing had cut off the salt road, I spread the news to the outside world. After selling this batch of lacquerware, we will return to Chang'an. Take this Credit, where can't you make money?"

Li Rong was overjoyed, "The head of the state hates Yang Xuan..."

"When I get back, I will ask the steward of the country's husband's family to report the credit. I can't say that I can be a petty official." Jin Shun became more and more happy, "I earn a lot of money, and the old man wants to take care of others, so I will I want to be a master. If so, I will become an official!"

Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Jin Shun, whose excitement was interrupted, was somewhat dissatisfied.

The door opened, and a servant said outside the door: "Your Majesty, someone wants to see you."

"Who is it?" Jin Shun said impatiently, "If you don't know him, just say I'm not here!"

"I, you know me!"

The servant was thrown by the back collar.

An old man stood outside the door.

"Slutty dog ​​slave, come here, beat him out, beat... Helianyan!?"

Ruan turned sideways, and Helianyan walked in.

Jin Shun smiled flatteringly, "I've seen the commander. If there is something to do, just call the villain to go..."

"Jin Shun." He Lianyan looked at him, "At first you were just a small businessman. It was the country that opened up the business route, allowing you to become big. Is there anything the Duke can't do for you?"

Jin Shun's cheeks trembled, "Why did the commander say that? The Duke's kindness to this old man is as great as a mountain!"

"Then, why did the news about the salt shortage leak out?"

Jin Shun was shocked, "I'm wronged!"

"Take it!"

He Lianyan waved his hand, and the two wrestlers stepped forward, kicked Jinshun down, and then tied him up.

"Don't you have a party?"

He Lianyan's question was not long-winded, but to test whether someone was instigating behind her back.

He Lianrong said: "The commander wants to find evidence that the officials meddled in this matter?"

He Lianyan nodded, "There is no need to hide this matter from you. Jin Yiwei has been in the limelight recently, and some people in Jiedushi's mansion said that we are a bit domineering. Although the Duke said nothing, we must give him credit anyway. If we can catch The sore spots of several officials..."

He Lianrong narrowed his eyes, "Commander, this is a bit domineering."

"I know." He Lianyan said: "Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, it has been very low-key. But it is too low-key, and it is not a good thing."

He Lianrong suddenly realized, "Yes, make a fuss and let the outside world criticize it, so that the Duke can rest assured."

"I'm not worried about the duke's jealousy, but..." He Lianyan smiled sweetly, "Jin Yiwei, as the duke's confidant, is also a face. Let those officials point and point, it's the duke's face that's lost."

She turned and went out, "Take it away!"

Jinshun was dragged out and shouted, "It's just business..."

He Lianrong smiled, "Are you confronting the officials? This is also a check and balance. The Duke didn't say anything, but the commander took the initiative to check and balance. If you change someone, the Duke may have to take action."

Jin Shun was taken to Jinyiwei, and after being tortured, he was sent to Yang Xuan.

"It's just not optimistic, so I want to switch to Yang Songcheng." He Lianyan was a little annoyed, "But he forgot that it was Beijiang and the Duke who made him earn money."

"Human nature seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, especially businessmen." Yang Xuan said, "Is there someone behind the scenes?"

The Duke and I wanted to go together... He Lianyan shook her head, "Nothing."

"This is a fight with a pole!" Yang Xuan shook his head, "Li Lingzhi fainted. Take it and hang it outside the city gate."

Jin Shun, a well-known luxury businessman, was hung outside the city gate of Tao County. People who entered and exited the city gate could look up and see his body swaying in the wind.

"Lao Jin has been arrested."

Several wealthy businessmen gathered together.

"It is said that it is a taboo, but it did not say anything specific."

"The salt is being grabbed outside!"

"Talk about Lao Jin!"

"There is a big problem with the salt, and the situation is unclear."

"How about, let's go to the Jiedu Ambassador's Mansion to test it out?"

"How to test? If you go to question, you can go on your own, the old man doesn't want to die."

"Who the hell dares to question Yang Xuan? Just... find a reason to donate!"

Later, a few rich merchants bought hundreds of catties of salt and sent it outside the Jiedushi's mansion.

At the same time, Jin Shun, who was hanging from the top of the city wall and stiffened by the autumn wind, shouted: "This old man has something important to report to the Duke, it is a matter of our survival in northern Xinjiang!"

The sergeant at the city gate raised his spear and stabbed him in the butt with the end of the gun barrel, "What's the big deal? If you fool around, yeah, I'll stick the stick in your eye."

Jin Shun shivered, feeling that he was not far from death, "The old man knows where there is salt..."

"What?"

……

"Donations are all donations!"

Outside the Jiedushi's mansion, wealthy merchants laughed like prostitutes in a brothel.

"That would be thankful."

The officials bowed their hands.

There is a rush to buy salt outside, and Yang Guogong's order is to wait and see.

Someone proposed to restrict purchases based on household registration, which was rejected by Yang Guogong.

Once the purchase is restricted, it is not self-inflicted.

At that time, people panic...

"I just want to ask you something..."

A wealthy businessman tentatively said, "I don't know what happened to Jinshun."

The official was thinking about salt, when he heard the words, he said, "It's a big taboo. Why, you want to complain for him?"

"No, no, no! How dare you!" The wealthy businessman flattered with a smile, "Just curiosity."

The official looked at him and said meaningfully: "Many times, curiosity can kill people!"

Several wealthy merchants resigned in embarrassment, but this matter was reported to Yang Xuan.

"Tell the outside world that Jinshun eats the inside out!"

Yang Xuan waved his hand, and the official retired.

"The rush to buy salt outside is getting bigger and bigger."

Liu Qing had a very headache, "Three months of salt, I'm afraid it won't last ten days."

"How much can the common people buy?" Yang Xuan said: "Some of the common people's families don't have much money, and the real big ones are the rich. Buy them."

"Don't care?" Liu Qing felt that the baby was in a daze, if it wasn't for Yang Xuan's growing majesty, he really wanted to touch his forehead to see if it was burned.

"It doesn't matter, just open it up and buy it for them." Yang Xuan said.

Song Zhen gasped, "Did you find the salt?"

Yang Xuan shook his head.

"Then..." Luo Cai stretched out his hand, then retracted it.

The old man also wanted to touch his forehead... Luo Cai smiled wryly

Yang Xuan said indifferently: "Since I took charge of the northern border, the laws of the northern border seem to have not been changed much. This is not good!"

Everyone is discussing the matter of salt, why do you mention this?

Liu Qing: "..."

Song Zhen: "..."

Luo Cai: "..."

Yang Xuan took a sip of tea, "Hoarding is the most hated behavior in all dynasties. But there is no law to control it, it's not good!"

Liu Qing opened his mouth, "..."

Song Zhen's heart beat faster.

Lao Luo shivered a bit...

Yang Xuan put down the water glass, "Record."

Jiang He'er picked up the brush and looked up at the boss.

Yang Xuan said: "Anyone who speculates on goods, especially those in short supply, will be punished as hoarding. If the goods are confiscated, the fine will be three times the value of the goods!"

Liu Qing: "..."

Song Zhen, "..."

Luo Cai blurted out, "You are..."

Yang Xuan smiled, "Fishing law enforcement!"
