Chapter 58 Do you think that I will be scared too much (fifth)
The snow-white grains of salt instantly sparkled everyone's eyes.
Li Shimin picked up the salt bag excitedly, good guy, this bag weighs a full hundred and ten catties.
Three horse-drawn carriages only took one afternoon, and Cheng An was able to lead a hundred craftsmen to produce so much refined salt.
"Your Majesty, apart from the fact that this grain of salt is slightly larger than the one made by the Sixth Prince yesterday, there is no other difference. It is the same salty and strong enough!"
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling said excitedly after trying it himself.
At this time, Wei Zheng actually climbed on the salt bag and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty! God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
"Starting today, the soldiers and common people of the Tang Dynasty will completely bid farewell to the pain of not having salt."
Looking at Wei Zheng who already had gray hair, he cried like a child.
Li Shimin and all the ministers also sighed.
"My beloved ministers, let the soldiers and the common people endure for a few more days. Now we have to do a very important thing."
"This matter requires the concerted efforts of all the lovers to perform this scene well."
"Cheng An made it very clear yesterday."
"Today, I will give a detailed account to all my lovers."
Therefore, in the imperial study room, Li Shimin and a dozen important officials began to carefully arrange an unprecedented plan.
At noon on Chang'an Avenue, there were few pedestrians on the street.
Inside the various shops, there are even more empty houses.
Nowadays, everyone's life is difficult. The most scarce salt, there has been no store to sell it.
Although the salt is under control at this time, as long as there is a store selling private salt, it will definitely be sold out in an instant.
In the Xinglong shop in the center of Chang'an City, the shopkeeper and several shop assistants were sitting at the door, having a delicious lunch.
The backside of this Xinglong shop is controlled by Taiyuan Wang, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get such a good location.
Opposite the Xinglong shop is a shop named Xingwang shop, the owner behind it is not simple, but the shop of the Lu family in Wuxing Qiwang.
The shopkeepers and fellows of the two companies are very familiar with each other.
Xinglong Store and Xingwang Store were divided into two by Chang'an Avenue, but this did not affect their staff shouting from each other.
Everyone was eating lunch and chatting.
Suddenly a carriage came slowly, and the supplies on the carriage looked very heavy.
Because the two horses were so tired and wet that they shook their heads reluctantly.
Moreover, there were actually six people escorting supplies around the carriage.
This made the shopkeepers and the buddies of the two shopkeepers couldn't help but look around together.
What kind of valuable material needs so many people to escort it?
Can there be any precious materials in this era?
If it's food, it's a little too cautious. Even if the price of a horse-drawn cart is based on the price of their two shops, it can't be sold for too much money.
Just when everyone was puzzled, a bag of supplies on the carriage suddenly slipped down.
clatter...
The shopkeepers and fellows of the two shops all stood up.
Because they saw the most incredible things.
It is also the most scarce material in Datang today.
That's snowflakes of salt.
The snow-like salt grains are so white and flawless under the sunshine at noon.
In the eyes of the two shopkeepers, these grains of salt are like snowflakes of gold, silver and money.
The six men around the carriage hurriedly cleaned up the salt scattered on the ground very nervously, and looked around vigilantly.
This made the two storekeepers more certain that these salts were definitely smuggled here from Jiangnan, risking their lives.
Now that the commercial road in the south of the Yangtze River has been broken, they were able to smuggle successfully. It seems that they all have martial arts and kung fu.
"The strong man please stay, the strong man please stay."
The two shopkeepers walked out of the shop quickly.
This is a great opportunity to make money.
How could he let it slip away just like that under his nose.
"The two shopkeepers, stay on the front line, so we can meet each other in the future."
"You just acted as if you didn't see anything. Take this little money and go drink it."
The big man driving the car took out a few pieces of silver from his backpack and handed them to the two shopkeepers who came out.
"Strong man, we are not greedy for the rich man of the strong man."
"The materials for the carriage of the strong man are very expensive, and they are in short supply by the imperial court and strictly controlled."
"I don't know where the strong man is going to be sent? If such an important material is left unprotected, his head will be lost."
The two shopkeepers looked at each other and said one after another.
"Haha, haha, do the two shopkeepers think that I'm scared too much?"
"Since I have eaten this meal, I have long put life and death aside."
"Besides, I was also entrusted by others. It is a matter of loyalty to send this batch of supplies to the Cheng Mansion. As for how the Cheng Mansion will deal with it, I don't know at all. Presumably the two of you have heard of the name of the Cheng Mansion."
After hearing what the strong driver said, the two shopkeepers asked together.
"But the Cheng residence of Zuo Wuhou General Cheng Yaojin?"
"Then why don't you get out of the way quickly, the carriage behind is coming, if they find out and talk to you, I'm afraid your lives will be lost, you must know that we all live a life of killing people without blinking an eye. "
When the two shopkeepers heard the words, the chrysanthemum tightened in fright.
"Here, there is a carriage behind this, how many such substances are there in total?"
"Since I've said it, I might as well tell you clearly that it's not much, it's just a whole boat."
"Today, you'd better act as if you didn't see anything, otherwise..."
"・・・"
"let's go······"
The big man picked up the carriage and continued on the road, leaving behind two stunned shopkeepers.
They were really taken aback by the ruthless words of the big man.
But soon the two turned the corner.
What the hell is wrong, on the two acres of land in Chang'an City, his master's power is very powerful.
Although Cheng Yaojin is considered a hero, their respective masters are not afraid of him.
Money is the last word these days, such a good opportunity, the money can't be all earned by that Cheng Yaojin.
Besides, Cheng Yaojin wanted so much salt, he didn't have a shop, and he didn't dare to sell it openly.
Once His Majesty finds out, his good days as the General Zuo Wuhou who just took office are at the end of his life.
At this moment, another carriage slowly passed by the two shops.
The dress of the carriage, the driver, and the escort are the same as those of the people in the carriage just now.
The two shopkeepers gave orders to the buddies, and ran to the mansions of their respective masters.
