Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu looked at him quietly: "Of course, access is free."

"If...if..." Xiao Xiucai hesitated for a long time before asking: "If I save money today and need money tomorrow because of an emergency, can I come and exchange it?"

Before Su Mu could answer, Xiao Xiucai hurriedly waved his hands: "I didn't mean that, I just asked, if..."

Su Mu laughed in his heart: "No if, even if you save now, withdraw it now, you still need a penny. Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, this salt ticket is issued by the salt company, and my account is just a consignment. Could it be that the dignified salt company Still can't believe it."

"So... how about using this salt ticket to extract salt?"

"Also anytime."

"Then, okay, I understand, farewell, farewell!"

After Xiao Xiucai finished speaking, he suddenly ran out with unexpected agility.

"Is this person a bit weird?" Zong Zhen shook his head repeatedly.

"It must be stolen money!" Wu Er said.

Taikang: "You don't care where people's money comes from, Zong Zhen, put the money into the warehouse."

Zongzhen: "Well, it can be put into the warehouse. Recently, we have nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver on hand, and we simply melted it into 50 taels of silver. Also, it is not appropriate to put so much money here, etc. After casting big silver, it is better to send it to Yansi Bank, and feel more at ease."

After all, this bank is guaranteed by the Yan Division, and it is his signboard, and the issuer of the salt ticket is the Salt Transport Envoy, so the cash has to go into the account of the Yan Division.

But Su Mu waved his hand: "Don't worry."

"What's wrong?" the three asked.

Su Mu suddenly laughed: "Xiao Xiucai is very weird today, maybe he will come to withdraw the cash tomorrow. Maybe, before raising the money here, he will go to the Salt Department first?"

"I don't understand." Wu Er Er and Zong Zhen both looked puzzled.

At this time, Princess Taikang suddenly called out: "If this Xiao Xiucai is what you think, Su Mu, you really asked him to find out the loopholes in it. This person is really clever."

"Hehe, the first crab eater appeared." Su Mu smiled and said, "Hero Zong, send two eyes and ears to follow Xiao Xiucai to see what he is up to. If everything is not normal, there must be ghosts. "

Zong Zhen: "The money in Xiao Xiucai's hands must have come from a wrong place. I'm afraid it's either rape or theft. It needs to be investigated carefully. I'll ask someone to follow the surname Xiao."

……

After arranging who to follow, Su Mu went back to the inn to sleep.

On the second day, he got up early, but he already had a premonition in his heart that something would definitely happen.

I was not in a hurry, instead I read in the study for a long time, and after lunch, I went out gracefully.

After going out, I went to the other two semi-colons to have a look as usual. Just like yesterday, there were quite a few people watching the fun, but none of them dared to pay for a ticket.After all, there are not many people who can come up with so much money, and no one dares to take the risk.

Back to Zongzhen's house where the head office is located, there is still no business here.Su Mu didn't go into the backyard, so he made a pot of tea and drank it slowly.

This waited for an hour, just as he was a little anxious.The two guys ran in quickly, saw Su Mu, and shouted at the same time: "Master Mei, there is news about that surnamed Xiao, do you know what he is doing?"

Su Mu smiled and waved at them: "Go back and wait, I'll come and ask you later. By the way, call Yizhen and Zongzhen together!"

……

In the hall of the backyard, after listening to the words of the two spies.

"This surnamed Xiao is so cunning, his mother, he has plotted against us!" Zong Zhen slapped the table angrily, and the teacups on the table jingled and jumped up: "This wind can't last long. A dignified man who reads books and works hard!" Such filth, absolutely cannot be tolerated!"

"How are you doing?" Su Mu and Princess Taikang smiled at each other, feeling like a confidant, probably only the two of them could realize the benefits of this matter and know what to do next.

"What else can I do, find someone to clean him up!"

"No, let him go, you guys go down!" Su Mu waved to the two spies.

"How can this be?" Zong Zhen was furious.

It turned out that the two spies had found Xiao Xiucai's residence since last night, and they were waiting opposite his house early this morning.Therefore, what exactly Xiao Xiucai did that day was in their eyes.Moreover, he also found out his origin.

It turned out that this Xiao Xiucai was a bill collector in the account room of Yang Jianzhong, the largest salt merchant in Cangzhou. The more than 2000 taels of silver were originally the business funds he collected from Nanpi.

Unexpectedly, this scholar was also so bold that he actually embezzled the 2000 taels of silver to buy salt tickets.I got up early again and went to the Salt Company to exchange for official salt, and then sold the official salt to other salt merchants at a very low price to earn the difference.

The price of official salt is low, and Mr. Wu has paid close attention to the quality after being a transshipment envoy, so the market is very good.

It's easy to get out.

Selling salt for money, Xiao Xiucai not only handed over the capital to the firm, but also left 30 taels of profit.

That is, in one day, 30 taels of silver is comparable to ordinary people working for two or three years.

Zong Zhen said angrily: "This kid is too cunning to take advantage of this loophole. If everyone follows him, won't all the salt in the salt department be exchanged?"

But Su Mu smiled: "This man is a little shrewd, but he only benefits us and does not harm us. Think about it, he can only get 30 taels of profit a day when he buys our salt tickets. It's not a sensation. Doesn't it mean that our salt tickets are genuine and have excellent credit. In my opinion, after this Xiao Xiucai found this way of making money, he knows the taste and will definitely not give up. After a few days, he will definitely come again Yes. When he makes a few trips and makes a small fortune, let’s spread the word about him. This is also a good advertisement. At that time, everyone will follow suit and don’t worry about whether the salt tickets will sell or not. go out."

"That's a good idea!" Taikang's eyes lit up.

Zong Zhen took a breath of air: "Master Su, I just want to teach Xiao Xiucai a lesson, but you want to publicize his affairs. He embezzled Yang Jianzhong's money, and Yang Jianzhong is not It's a good look, Xiao Xiucai will be in big trouble when the time comes. Isn't it a little unkind for us to do this?"

Wu Er Er sneered: "Uncle, do you eat kindness?"

Su Mu smiled: "No matter what purpose Xiao Xiucai has, he has contributed to our bank. If we are in danger, we can't ignore it."

Zong Zhen felt relieved.

There was no need to wait for two or three days. On the evening of the next day, Xiao Xiucai came again. This time the cash was not much, only around six hundred taels.

Naturally, it was Su Mu who received him again. Xiao Xiucai was familiar with the way now, and he was not as nervous as before. Instead, he chatted with Su Mu for a long time about official salt, private salt and Ming Dynasty's salt policy.

Su Mu was amused, and by the way, told him the names of Bai Dalao and other private salt dealers without any trace.On the contrary, he was a little worried that Xiao Xiucai would not be able to sell the salt tickets after buying them in exchange for official salt, and would throw them on his hands.
