Wang Mazi is extremely familiar with Chang'an City, and this cousin is the shopkeeper of Xingyi Commercial Bank, so it is most appropriate for him to investigate this matter.

After this Wang Mazi received the order, he set off directly to Chang'an City.

After the ban on the sale of fine salt began, in Chang'an City, the most concerned were the few righteous merchants.

The fine salt was wholesaled by the Xingyi trading house, so the imperial court had strict control over the Xingyi trading house.

Wang Mazi looked at the officers and soldiers at the door of the Xingyi Commercial Bank, and surrounded this place tightly, and everyone who went in and out of the purchase was interrogated, and he knew that his cousin was afraid that it would be difficult to deliver the news.

No wonder the news of the ban on the sale of fine salt has never been heard by Shen Xingyi, it turns out that this trading house has been guarded by the government.

However, although the government banned the sale of fine salt, the shops that sold fine salt before only confiscated the remaining fine salt, and there was no penalty.

After all, there are many merchants, and each household has fine salt to buy and sell, once punished, it is afraid of arousing public anger, and the government has not formulated an explicit order not to sell it privately, and now it cannot be handled at will.

As for the Xingyi Commercial Bank, the quantity of fine salt sold was relatively high, and it was still distributed by him, and the government originally wanted to investigate the source of this fine salt, so it was natural to start with this Xingyi Commercial Bank.

It's just that this Shen Xingyi is also righteous, and he refuses to say anything about this fine salt.

It is also a headache for the government, after all, the salt in Datang is now made by the people, and it is not against the law for the people to make salt by themselves.

Besides, this Shen Xingyi has some prestige among the merchants in Chang'an City, and if he doesn't talk about this source, the government really has nothing to do with him.

In this way, the government can only look at the people who come and go with the business house at the door of the business house, and check them one by one, to find the person who makes fine salt.

Wang Mazi saw that although his cousin was watched by the government, he could still do business as usual, but he was not affected much, and he was relieved.

However, this Wang Mazi came to Chang'an City to inquire about the news of the ban on fine salt, but now he can't contact his cousin Shen Xingyi, so he can only knock on the side from elsewhere to find out the news.

Although it was a lot of delay, in the end, the news was clarified, so I hurriedly rushed back to the cottage with the news.

......

By the time the news reached the cottage, it had been three days later.

As soon as Wang Mazi returned to the cottage, he went directly to report to Lin Chen.

"The owner of the village, my subordinates inquired that the ban on sales this time was because our fine salt sales were too hot, and the coarse salt was compared. This coarse salt has no business, and the government is not happy, so it directly bans the sale of our fine salt.

When Lin Chen heard this, he was stunned for a while, no wonder there was such a ban. Thinking of this official move, he also directly cut off his business, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, this official government can't do its own things, and it doesn't let people buy and sell, it's simply an overlord clause!

It seems that if you want to do business in this Chang'an City, you have to think of other ways to do it......

However, this ban is a ban on sale, and it is a little unauthentic if the goods are detained!

" Can you find out where this fine salt was received?" These fine salts are the third batch of fine salt produced by the factory, and there are quite a lot of them, what will be done with them after the government detains them.

Wang Mazi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I found out, after this batch of fine salt was collected by the Salt Supervision Division, it was transported to a manor for royal consumption for storage. Hearing

this, Lin Chen's face sank, these officials also stored the fine salt in the royal manor! It was clear that they wanted to suppress the batch of fine salt for the royal family to eat, how could he let others take possession

of this batch of fine salt?! This batch of fine salt, he Lin Chen must find it!

Lin Chen thought of this, so he asked, "Do you know the address of the royal manor?"

Wang Mazi shook his head and said: " The subordinates don't know, but they just heard that this royal manor is fifty miles north of Chang'an City, and the specific location of the villain really can't find out.

Lin Chen nodded and said it was okay. This royal manor is usually an extremely secret place, and it is normal for him not to be able to probe it.

So he took out a topographic map and began to speculate on the possible location of the royal estate.

When Lin Chen was worried about how to find the royal manor, Li Lizhi walked in with a plate of pastries.

"Husband!"

Lin Chen watched Li Li walk towards him, with a beautiful posture and a charming smile. It seems to calm all the boredom. The corners of his mouth hooked, and he smiled

: "The lady is here!"

Li Lizhi stayed closer, put down the pastry and looked at Lin Chen with a thoughtful expression, and then asked:

"What problems did the husband encounter?"

Lin Chen sighed slightly, and told Li Liqing about the salt ban.

After hearing this, Li Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she lowered her head and thought deeply, her face showed a tangled look, her father actually banned fine salt?

But this batch of fine salt is related to the livelihood of the cottage, as the wife of the owner of the village and the wife of Lin Chen, she should be worried about her husband and the mountain people.

After thinking about it again and again, he said: "Husband, I don't know much about this salt administration, and I don't know how to share my husband's worries. However, this royal manor beauty knows where it is!" Lin

Chen heard this, and looked back at her unexpectedly, after all, this matter involved Li Shimin, he never thought that she would be so knowledgeable and choose to help herself.

At this time, Li Lizhi had already spoken: "This royal manor is the Zhuangzi that my father and mother will go to every year when they are in the summer." Every time I follow, I can't be mistaken!"

he said, raising his jade onion finger and pointing to a certain part of the map.

"Right here...... This Zhuangzi is very large, and it is also reserved for royal use on weekdays, so there are a lot of guards......"

Lin Chen looked in the direction pointed by Li Lizhen, and it was really a secluded and hidden place. Even if someone guards it, he will definitely take it back!

With an accurate location, it is much easier to do, thinking of this, Lin Chen easily hugged Li Lizhi and kissed her on her goose-fat face.

sighed and said: "I didn't expect the lady to be so knowledgeable, it is really my virtuous help!" Li

Lizhi leaned into Lin Chen's arms and whispered: "Since I am married to my husband, I can still carry these things clearly...... "

With the exact location of the royal manor, it will be much easier to do." Immediately, Lin Chen waved his hand and ordered:

"Let Li Laosi come to see me!"

But in a moment, Li Laosi rushed over.

"Zhai master, are you looking

for me?" Lin Chen didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered:

"Now that a fine salt has been detained by the imperial court, and now it is in the royal manor fifty miles outside Chang'an City, and now you take the iron horse to snatch the salt back for me!"

When

Li Laosi heard this, he directly patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, I will definitely bring you a lot of fine salt from the Zhuangzi!"
