Chapter 65 Temporary intention
"City Lord Ye came to Hengyang to test his sword at Mount Heng?"

Huang Lin couldn't figure out what Elder Tu meant, so he said:
"Elder Tu might as well speak out."

"If City Lord Ye wants to try the sword on Mount Heng, Tu can arrange for the City Lord!"

An inexplicable expression flashed in Elder Tu's eyes, and he spoke slowly.

Huang Lin frowned, is this a trick for himself?Or a power struggle within the Hengshan faction?

He didn't intend to go to Mount Heng, so he said immediately:
"Elder Tu is worrying too much. Ye is just passing by on this trip, and he doesn't intend to impersonate Fan Gui's sect."

"Oh? City Lord Ye didn't want it."

Elder Tu was speaking when he was interrupted.

"Hahahaha, I heard that the recently famous Baiyun City Lord visited, Qiao came here uninvited, forgive me."

A burst of loud laughter came from outside the hall, but the words said forgiveness, but there was no such meaning in the tone.

Is this a bad guy?

Huang Lin saw that Elder Tu's face changed suddenly, and he returned to normal, but the expression was still a little bad.

Turning around, he saw a man, dressed in rich and noble clothes, who looked about the same age as Elder Tu, followed by a servant who was sweating profusely.

After the servant entered the hall, he confessed his crime in front of Elder Tu, saying that he did not dare to stop him.

Huang Lin got up and said:
"In Xiaye Gucheng, I don't know who this senior Qiao is...?"

"Old man Qiao Hongfei, like this Tu Dongqi, is an elder of the Hengshan School. City Lord Ye is young and has an extraordinary temperament as rumored. Sit, sit, you're welcome."

Qiao Hongfei had a friendly face, like a businessman, and his tone was completely different from the tone outside the hall just now, it seemed that he was not targeting him anymore.

"Elder Qiao's praise is due to Ye Mou's inconsideration and impostor."

Huang Lin was a little uncertain about the relationship between the two, so he said casually.

"Elder Qiao didn't count your money, why did you suddenly come to my other courtyard?"

After calling the servants to add more bowls and chopsticks, Tu Dongqi also regained his composure, and interjected.

"I heard that Baiyun City is far away in the open sea. Didn't I come here to see if there is any business to do? After all, we have a lot of daily expenses up and down Mount Heng. I'm really worried, old Qiao."

Huang Lin glanced at it. Elder Qiao's black hair was shiny, not worse than Xiao Hei's new hair.

Afterwards, the two chattered, and occasionally talked to Huang Lin.

After reading it for a long time, Huang Lin finally understood that Tu Dongqi probably had some plans, and before he could speak, he was disrupted by Qiao Hongfei later.

Qiao Hongfei, apart from coming to spoil Tu Dongqi's affairs, might also have some ideas about overseas business, so he asked him a lot about the overseas customs and customs of the South China Sea Baiyun City Lord.

Fortunately, Huang Lin was well-informed in his previous life, and he knew a lot, such as crabs and prawns as big as a millstone, snow that has never been seen before, wind and waves higher than a city wall, etc., and so on. two people.

The two Hengshan elders had no doubts about his identity.

"In the early years when the imperial court had large ships sailing, I did a lot of business with Daming in Baiyun City. Later, for some reason, the official ships of Daming became less and less, so I could only communicate with rich merchants in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other coastal areas. Ye's trip is precisely to Go to Fujian."

Huang Lin held the wine cup and said lightly.

Elder Qiao saw that Huang Lin was wearing a wooden crown of pearls. The wood was not known, but the pearls in that circle were big and white, and they were of the same size. Knowing that what he said was not necessary, I couldn't help being really moved.

"City Master Ye, I, Old Qiao, are in charge of the Hengshan Sect's silver bag. It's really worrying about the food and drink expenses of hundreds of people every day. I don't know if City Master Ye has any way to make a fortune together?"

After speaking, he drank a glass by himself first, and looked at Huang Lin expectantly.

Huang Lin didn't expect that there was really a business solicitor, and his heart changed quietly. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said:
"Sorry, Elder Qiao, there are no vacancies in the Ye family's sea business, but Ye is preparing for it. I wonder if your faction has the courage to participate?"

Elder Qiao wanted to make money, but Huang Lin really had a plan in his hands. With a little change, it's not impossible for the Hengshan faction to come in.

If you are so bold, I will talk about the matter of wearing a vest later!
"Oh? I don't know what to do?"

Even Tu Dongqi asked curiously.

"It's easy to offend some wealthy people and Jianghu gangs in this matter, but Wudang and Huashan have already participated. If Hengshan wants to intervene, then the safety of the southern Huguang area will have to be taken care of by your faction."

Seeing that both of them were looking over, Huang Lin added another bargaining chip.

"Hey, even Wudang is involved? I hope City Lord Ye will tell you, what kind of business is it?"

Now Qiao Hongfei couldn't sit still, Wudang and Hengshan were both in Huguang, and they were usually involved in business disputes.

Judging from what City Lord Ye meant, he would also offend the wealthy and Jianghu gangs. This business is probably not small. If he does not participate in the Hengshan faction, he will suffer again at that time!
"Salt!"

The old god Huang Lin took a sip of his drink and said softly.

"Salt?"

Qiao and Tu looked at each other in blank dismay. They both knew that this thing was very profitable.

But this thing needs to be lured by salt, and it is all held by the rich in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I don't know how many high officials from the court and China are involved behind it, and there are some gangs in the rivers and lakes to escort them.

It's hard!
"To be precise, it is refined salt! It is finer, whiter and tastes better than the ones on the market today."

After speaking, Huang Lin reached into his pocket and took out a small porcelain bottle, which was freshly installed in the deduction tray just now.

This is a few catties that were purified by asking the hidden householder Xu San in the Escort to forge tools when he was in Xi'an.

As for Yanjing, Wang Biaotou was born in Xiningwei, there are many old brothers there, when he came, he was arranged to go to Qinghai to inquire.

"You two have a try."

He first poured a little for himself and tasted it, saying that it was not poisonous, and then handed over the porcelain bottle to the two of them.

"Hiss is as white as snow, without impurities, and without any bitterness! This is real snowflake salt!"

Elder Qiao is still knowledgeable, probably because he has dealt with these things a lot on weekdays.

"I don't know how much this salt will be sold for? How much can I get from Hengshan?"

Seeing the fish taking the bait, Huang Lin was also very happy. It was a temporary idea, but he didn't expect it to be a deal, so he said:
"Hehe, Elder Qiao, don't worry. It's still early. Counting the noble faction, there are only three at present. At the end of the year, Mr. Ye plans to go north to visit the capital. It will be safer to have senior officials involved in this matter!"

"The current output is not large, and it will be officially operational, at least in the middle of next year."

Elder Qiao felt itchy, and couldn't help asking:

"How about, City Lord Ye reveal some price first? Let me listen to Old Qiao first?"

"Yes, yes, City Lord Ye said something first. Halfway through this sentence, people can't get up and down. It's really uncomfortable!"

Elder Tu also interjected, this is selling salt!If he can intervene, maybe his own disciple is really expected to be the next generation head, and he doesn't have to carry out his previous plan.

"On the market, a catty of coarse salt costs 5 renminbi and refined salt 20 renminbi. How much can you sell for my white snowflake salt? But you have to be prepared first. The production of this salt is quite troublesome and expensive. , Ye has not set a price yet."

Huang Lin originally wanted to go to the capital to find a high-ranking official or a prince to handle this matter. At this time, he chatted with Elder Qiao for a while, and suddenly realized that it is not impossible to follow the Jianghu sect. Walking on two legs, with the support of force, The market is also better opened.

It's just that his identity is a bit embarrassing, so he can only take one step at a time.

"This snowflake salt, why does it have to sell for a hundred dollars? Hahahaha, when the time comes, City Lord Ye will have to share some goods with us in Hengshan. Come, drink!"

Elder Tu only thought that the salt could be sold at a high price, but nothing else.

Elder Qiao still has more knowledge in this area, and asked:

"City Master Ye, is there any salt for this salt?"

In the Ming Dynasty, if you wanted to sell salt legally, you had to obtain salt quotations from the government before you could go to the salt farm to get salt, otherwise it was illegal salt and would be investigated and dealt with.

As a well-known and decent sect, the Hengshan faction has no problem making small troubles occasionally. If they offend too many people because of private salt, they may be besieged and suppressed.

Elder Qiao had to be worried, after all, Yanyin was in the hands of a large family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was impossible to tell the difference.

"Hehe, Elder Qiao is very thoughtful, but please rest assured that this salt is not from Daming, but from overseas, and it is enough to pay the customs money on the way of transportation."

He had specifically checked before that the salt coming from abroad was considered a commercial commodity, and it was enough to pay taxes along the way.

"In that case, old Qiao, I can rest assured that City Lord Ye will not forget my Hengshan sect next year."

Elder Tu was at a loss when he heard it, he didn't understand the routine at all, he thought he could sell it if he took the salt.

There is an inn in the east of Hengyang City

As a newly opened inn, generally speaking, the business should not be very good.

But when this inn opened, there was a lot of promotional activities, the dishes were quite novel, and the decoration style was also unique.

It has attracted a lot of diners. I heard that it is not Xiao Er who is passing the dishes in the private room on the third floor, but young girls of Yishui.

"Guest officer, it's better to stay at the hotel."

Before entering the door, a sharp-eyed Xiao Er saw Huang Lin and greeted him.

"To live in a hotel, you need an independent courtyard."

"Okay~~! Guest officer, please!"

Xiao Er enthusiastically led the way, still shouting:

"There is a small courtyard with ~~ one guest~~"

Full of wine and food, Huang Lin refused Elder Tu's overnight stay, and went straight to find this place.

The intelligence point has not been laid, he is just taking care of his own business.

After entering the small courtyard, he threw a piece of silver over there and asked:
"Is there any famous escort agency in this city?"

"Thank you for your reward! But there are quite a few bodyguards who have established bases in our Hengyang city."

Xiao Er happily told all the escort bureaus in Hengyang City one by one, and happily bumped the broken silver in his hand when he left, about two taels!

Huang Lin entered the room and observed it. It was not bad, clean and tidy, and the waiter was also very enthusiastic.

The inclusion of the Hengshan faction in the salt sale just now was just a temporary idea, and he has not even informed Ning Qingyu of this.

Originally, I wanted to set up the stall first, and then talk to the head after a certain scale, so as to avoid disputes over rights in the middle.

I'm afraid it won't work now, I have to inform the head first, and Xi'an and Wudang have to send letters.

Immediately, he took out the Four Treasures of the Study from the deduction tray and wrote three letters.

They were disassembled one by one to form nine seals, which were individually packaged.

Huang Lin planned to send them out in different towns and different escort agencies.

This is what he learned during Ning Qingyu's retreat.

Without him, it's just a secret!
