Before fleeing famine, I evacuated the Duke's mansion and stockpiled tens of billions of suppli

Chapter 56 is aimed at the Xu family
Obscure Moon looked at the waist card, then at the fat man on the ground, and suddenly felt a little headache.

Since King Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Hebei, this Yuan surname has become the national surname. Ordinary Yuan surnames have changed their surnames early in order to avoid taboos.

Now the only one who dares to be surnamed Yuan is the family in Weiyang Palace in Changchun City.

Obscure Moon quickly winked at Shen Yinxing, will we be beheaded if we attack the royal relatives?

Shen Yinxing received the signal from Obscure Moon, and then stretched his hand on his neck, or not?Let's not do two things?
Xu Wei, who was on the side, was stupefied, and quickly waved his hands, we are good citizens, please don't drag me into this kind of head loss!

When Fatty Yuan saw his identity exposed, he was also anxious, oh, oh, oh, oh, his vest was taken off.

One was lying on the ground, and three were standing next to them. Several people were staring at each other, and the scene was once very embarrassing.

"Ahem." Ozuki pretended to cough to break the embarrassing situation.

"Your surname is Yuan? You live in Weiyang Palace?" Obscure Moon helped the fat man on the ground up, and patted the ashes on his body intimately.

Fatty Yuan stood up, then nodded in a daze: "Yeah."

"Uh, why didn't you say it earlier, I'm sorry, we have regarded you as a running dog of the Gongsun family." Ozuki laughed and said haha: "Come, show tea to our distinguished guest!"

Fatty Yuan waved his hands in fright: "No, no, no need, I'm afraid you'll poison me to death."

"Hey, it's all a misunderstanding." Shen Yinxing echoed from the side.

"Yes, yes." Ozuki smiled apologetically, "My distinguished guest, let's talk about cooperation now."

Lu Yue smiled and thought, it seems that the old Yuan family has long been wary of the Gongsun family, otherwise the fat man would not have found Xu Ji Salt Shop, but he did not expect to be able to catch the royal line so soon .

Fatty Yuan saw that since his vest had been stripped out, he stopped hiding and gave a rough account of his purpose and background.

It turns out that this fat man is the No. 20 nine sons of King Yuan, and he is not usually valued by King Yuan, and basically belongs to the category of free-range.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, everything was complicated, and this fat man wanted to do something to show his face in front of his father.

Through various visits, he realized that the salt vein would be a big problem in the future.

Because the salt eaten in the whole of Hebei is sea salt provided by Gongsun's family who lived on the southeast island for generations.

The southeast island is relatively close to Daxing. If one day Daxing attacks Dayuan and captures the southeast island, it will be tantamount to directly cutting off Dayuan's salt veins.

One cannot live without salt. If there is no salt, the whole body will not be able to use its strength, let alone marching and fighting.

As long as Daxing besieges but does not attack, Da Yuan can only surrender.

Therefore, Fatty hopes to master the method of boiling earth salt, so that even if Daxing sees Dayuan's flaws, he captures the southeast island and cuts off the salt vein.

At that time, by boiling earth salt, the soldiers of the three armies can also ensure that they have salt to eat.

After hearing this, Ozuki felt that this fat man was indeed not simple.

Ordinary people can only see that the salt vein is monopolized, and the salt merchants will make huge profits from it, which will affect the country's economic income.

But this fat man is able to look at problems from the perspective of countries. It has to be said that he does have some vision and pattern.

Hearing what Fatty said, Ozuki suddenly realized that the earth salt cooking method in her hand was really useful, even a priceless treasure.

It's just that selling 1000 million taels of silver feels a bit small.

And this matter still needs to be discussed with everyone.

Hazy Moon nodded: "Yeah, I understand, you want to buy the method of boiling salt from us, and then dedicate it to His Majesty Yuan Wang, right, this matter has to wait for other people to come back and discuss it."

The fat man was also very happy when he saw the drama: "Yes, yes, you'd better discuss the result quickly, and I heard that the regulations on the salt law are already being drawn up. Since the father let the Gongsun family contract the salt industry in Hebei, Then the regulations introduced will definitely protect the rights and interests of the Gongsun family, and your Xuji Salt Shop may suffer a blow."

Facing the fat man's friendly reminder, Ozuki thanked him first, and then asked the fat man a question: "By the way, who did you hear that the salt in our Xuji Salt Shop is extracted from the soil?"

"Uh, this." The fat man looked a little embarrassed, and then leaned into Ozuki's ear and whispered, "I have eyes and ears at Gongsun's house."

Obscure Moon frowned after hearing this, which means that the Gongsun family has discovered that we boiled earth salt.

Then the disappearance of Xu Laifu must be related to the Gongsun family.

"Since you have eyes and ears in the Gongsun family, do you know what the Gongsun family will do next?" Miyue asked Fatty Yuan.

Fatty Yuan shook his head: "Uh, I just heard that Gongsun Li invited his uncle to urge the Ministry of Punishment to improve the salt law."

Obscure Moon: "Well, it seems that Gongsun Li is really impatient."

While the two were talking, Shen Yinxing's voice came from outside the tent: "Come out quickly! I found some clues."

When Ozuki and Fatty were discussing cooperation just now, because Shen Yinxing was worried about Xu Laifu, he searched the surrounding area, hoping to find some clues.

Obscure Moon opened the curtain of the tent, and saw Shen Yinxing standing in the waist-high weeds, bending over to pick up something on the ground.

"Look at this." Shen Yinxing opened his palm, and there was a piece of red soil lying in the snow-white palm.

Xu Wei picked up the soil and looked at it: "Is this clay? We dug it by the river when we were making clay bricks."

Shen Yinxing: "Yes, this clay is quite fresh. I remember that Huoshi Village has been making mud bricks to build houses. When there was a change outside the tent last time, I also found this red clay outside."

Not only the Xu family lived in Erlitun, but also some villagers from Huoshi Village, the distance between the two was not too far.

Obscure Moon thought, then it is very likely that people from Huoshi Village discovered that the Xu family was making earth salt, and then told Gongsun Li.

Xu Laifu's disappearance is probably related to the people in Huoshi Village.

Gongsunli took Xu Laifu either because he wanted to find out how to make earthen salt from him, or because he wanted to coerce the Xu family to hand over the method of boiling earthen salt.

"Aniang, what do you think?" Obscure Moon asked Shen Yinxing.

Shen Yinxing pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "Call everyone back, let's go to Huoshi Village first, if Huoshi Village can't be found, then we will go directly to Gongsun Li."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Shen Yinxing's decision.

Fatty Yuan also echoed beside him: "Yeah."

Obscure Moon poked Fatty Yuan and said strangely, "Why are you still here? If you don't go back, you won't even be able to enter the city gate."

Fatty Yuan: "Hey, I think you need help. Besides, it doesn't matter if I go back or not. No one cares about me anyway."

"Okay, then you just follow." Oogyue looked at Fatty Yuan is also pitiful, although he is Yuan Wang's son, but he is not welcomed, he must have suffered from human affection since childhood.

But Ozuki thought about it again, what are we doing to pity the family, who is willing to sell 1000 million taels of silver, the family has no love but has money, and we are so poor that we can only live in tents.

In the brightly lit Gongsun Bieyuan, silk and bamboo bursts, wine and meat are fragrant, and in front of the court, there are beautiful couples like flowers, talking and laughing, dancing to the beat of the drums.

Gongsun Li is drinking with his uncle who is an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, listening to music and watching plays while drinking, very happy.

Uncle Gongsun: "Nephew, the matter has been settled. I have already dealt with it in the Ministry of Punishment. Tomorrow, the previously established salt law will be issued. Except for the royal salt merchants, no one is allowed to sell private salt. Anyone who violates the law will be ransacked and exiled."

Gongsun Li hurriedly toasted a glass of wine: "Oh, this salt law can be regarded as down. The Xu family took advantage of this gap to make a lot of money, and maliciously slandered my Gongsun family everywhere."

Uncle Gongsun took a sip of the wine: "Anyone who sells more than three catties of illegal salt, the men ransacked their homes and beheaded, and the women became prostitutes. You are an imperial merchant, how can he fight against you at Xuji Salt Shop?"

"Hahaha, Uncle Lao bothered to run." Gongsun Li toasted another glass of wine, his brows were full of joy.

"Tomorrow, after the opening of Xuji Salt Shop, I will immediately ask the people from the Criminal Department to issue a salt law announcement, and then arrest them on the spot." Uncle Gongsun drank the wine in his glass.

This move is not vicious, it can be said that it is specifically aimed at the Xu family, and it is aimed at the Xu family to death.

The decree was announced one second before, and the arrest was made the next second, and the arrester still has a reason.

This person got the stolen goods at the same time, even if you jumped into the Yellow River, you wouldn't be able to wash them off.

"Haha, uncle, please communicate with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, don't leak the news in advance." Uncle Gong Li stepped forward and saluted uncle.

"Naturally, I have already arranged it," Uncle Gongsun stroked his beard and replied.

Uncle Gongsun: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, where does Xu Ji get the salt? In the whole of Hebei, only Southeast Island produces salt."

Gongsun Li: "Uncle, you don't know, Xu Ji, the salt is extracted from the soil. I don't know what method they used. The extracted salt is not only non-toxic, but also has no odor."

Uncle Gongsun rubbed his chin: "Then the method of boiling earth salt must not be spread, otherwise it will have a big impact on the sea salt market."

"Uncle, I have already inquired about the method of making salt. Only the Xu family knows the method of making salt. I have also sent people to investigate the method of making earth salt. If they can master this method, the Gongsun family will have another bargaining chip."

Gongsun Li thought that he had done a good job, but he didn't expect his uncle's face to change drastically after hearing this: "You bastard! You are so confused, our Gongsun family has inexhaustible sea salt, you want the boiled soil What does the salt method do?"

"There is no impenetrable wall in this world. If you know it, then the whole world will know it too. How many people with clean backgrounds do you think there are in your mansion?"

"It's best for the Xu family to go to hell with these secrets. We don't need to know other ways to refine table salt. Do you understand?"

Gongsun Li, who was scolded all over his head and face, wiped the spittle on his face. He just came back to his senses now. Their Gongsun family didn't need to make better-tasting table salt, nor did they need to obtain table salt through other means.

Because if the method of cooking earth salt is spread, every household can boil salt, and their Gongsun family's sea salt business is bound to suffer an unprecedented impact.

If no one in the world knows how to make earth salt, then the world can only eat sea salt.

Gongsun Li felt that his move was indeed wrong.

"Then please uncle, let the Xu family die in the prison tomorrow, and let them go to hell with the secret of earth salt!" Gongsun Li showed murderous intent, his face stern.

"Yes." Uncle Gongsun spat out two words lightly, and it decided the life and death of everyone in the Xu family.

In Mangrove Village, in a deserted courtyard, spider webs and weeds crawled all over the ground.

The second housekeeper of Gongsun's house was sitting in a clean corner cracking melon seeds, and the skin of the melon seeds was spat all over the floor.

From time to time, the sound of beating, cursing and scolding, as well as the crying of children, could be heard from the depths of the courtyard.

Poor Xu Laifu was being hung from the beam of the house and whipped. His whole body was ripped apart, and there was not even a single piece of good flesh on his body.

It must be said that it is a miracle that a ten-year-old boy has not passed out after being whipped again and again.

"Can you tell me?"

"How does your Xu family boil earth salt?"

"As long as you say so, we won't beat you, and we'll give you something to eat and drink!"

Xu Laifu turned a deaf ear to these words, and then spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm towards the people below.

In fact, he only knows a rough idea of ​​how to make earth salt, but he understands that this is the Xu family's secret.

He has already made up his mind that even if he is beaten to death today, he will not say a word, otherwise he will feel sorry for Sister Luyue and the rest of the Xu family.

The old Mengtou on the side didn't say a word when he saw the child was beaten half to death, so he stepped forward and said to the second housekeeper: "He is a ten-year-old child, and he probably won't be able to remember the steps of making earth salt. I can't ask anything."

The second butler raised his head and glanced at Old Meng's head sideways: "Huh? Do you have any good ideas, old man?"

"Hey hey hey" Old Meng moved his face shyly: "I don't think it's better than this, let's cut off one of his fingers first, and then hand it over to the Xu family, let the Xu family write down the method of boiling salt, and hand it over to him when the time comes." Fang Zi let people go."

The second housekeeper smiled after hearing this, clapped his hands and said, "Well, that's a good idea, let's do it this way! After finishing the work, your reward will be indispensable."

"Hey hey", the smile on Lao Mengtou's face became brighter.

Besides, Shen Yinxing gathered all the members of the Xu family to go to Huoshi Village to find Xu Laifu.

As soon as they arrived at Huoshi Village, a few thorny heads who didn't have long eyes began to prevent Xu's family from finding someone.

As soon as Shen Yinxing's violent temper came up, he beat them all to the ground.

Shen Yinxing, whose anger has exploded, rolled up his sleeves: "Tell me! Has anyone in your village been in contact with outsiders recently?"

Facing Shen Yinxing, who was even more unreasonable than himself, the thorny heads looked terrified: "We don't know about this, and we haven't seen other people entering the village recently."

"Oh? I don't remember, right? Then I'll let you think about it." Shen Yinxing raised his fist and was hit by a few thorns until his eyes were full of stars and his nose bleeds.

"Wait! Wait! Stop hitting! I remembered!" one of the thorns cried out, covering his eyes with his head.
