Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang

Wufei Rabbit left and lived in endlessly.

When Ruijin was 12 years old, she was selected as a scholar, and her family held a lively event. Three years later, she lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the provincial and provincial examinations. At the age of 15, she became the youngest candidate in Siyang City.

The family was rewarded and sheltered, all mountain and field taxes were reduced and exempted, and the commercial roads were smooth. For a while, the threshold of the Zhang family was almost broken. Hot people.

Ruijin doesn’t like to socialize much, and after the teacher’s appreciation banquet, she concentrates on studying and rarely meets visitors behind closed doors. Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He take care of everything at home, and the heat is still there. The next year will have an exam, and Ruijin will have to start again Go to Beijing to catch up with the exam.

I will send you off at eighteen miles, brother, I will only send it here.

You must take good care of yourself on the way to the exam, and don't show your beauty. If we go to Beijing from Siyang, we won't pass through any poor mountains and rivers. The road is safe and sound.

Zhang Ruijin briefly inspected the carriages and horses, and his father had also inspected them carefully many times, and he was relieved after a quick glance.

This time back to the capital, the mountains are high and the water is far away, but it is the first time in these years that he is so far away from home. His uncle has sent a few unattractive Lianjiazi from the martial arts hall to accompany him, and everything is no longer insecure.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at brother Li: Eighteen miles? Do you have eighteen steps from the garden to the gate of the house?

Courtesy is less important than affection, it's what you want.

Zhang Ruijin shook his head helplessly, put down the things on hand, stretched out his hands and rubbed his twin brother, who was a head shorter than himself, and said: I've been away for less than half a year, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, so don't cause trouble at home. Remember?

Brother Xiao Li sighed: I have never caused trouble, don't always call me naughty.

Ruijin withdrew her hand: You know what you are doing, it's fine to make troubles, next time you go out to have fun outside, just give me my name, and I will deal with you when I come back!

When he went out to the street, he was often stopped by people, who asked him to get off the carriage aggressively, and he treated him politely, and he really got off the carriage. Ri Bu Zuo He has grown taller and stronger all of a sudden, looking at Zhang Ruili's appearance, he is undoubtedly Zhang Ruili, but it makes people a little delirious.

Who is still waiting for you to come back to clean up, maybe I will get married before you come back.

Ruijin approves of this result: It's best like this.

Brother Xiaoli coughed dryly: Oh, the master is here to see brother off too!

Zhang Ruijin turned his head, Luo Yan and Luo Yuxing came out together.

Master.

Zhang Ruijin cupped his hands and made a salute to Luo Yan, and glanced at Luo Yuxing beside him, neither of them spoke.

I've told you a lot before, so I won't babble today, I'll just send you off.

Thank you, master.

Xu He carried a food box and handed it to his son who was almost taller than himself: The snacks I prepared, eat on the road.

it is good.

The two families saw each other off, Zhang Ruijin got into the carriage, waved to everyone, the wheels of the carriage drove over the stone slabs, and gradually went away.

Brother Xiaoli watched the carriage disappear from sight, feeling a little melancholy, but it didn't last long, and soon he became relaxed again.

It's good to go to the exam, the private school doesn't have to start classes anymore.

It's the first time Ruijin has been away from home for so long, and the house is much deserted after leaving alone.

After Ruijin left for two days, Xu He still hadn't gotten used to it. Zhang Fangyuan saw that the person was dying, so he comforted him: How can the child always be at home when he grows up, and if he becomes an official in the future, how can he be under the nose all the time?

If my little dad feels lonely under my knees, I will have another baby with my dad.

I count you as big or small. Xu He's sentimentality could not last until the third day, and he was irritated by Brother Xiao Li's words: A few days ago, someone came to propose a marriage at home, so it's time for your father to take a good look at those things. People.

Father should stop talking about other people's houses. I don't know anything. If I get angry with the old man, I might have to sue.

Zhang Fangyuan waved his hand: Come on, come on, you'd better hurry up and have fun, don't flirt around in front of your father and piss people off.

Brother Xiaoli raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was just waiting for these words, and happily slipped away on his own.

Seeing people go out, Zhang Fangyuan said to Xu He: Seeing that it's spring, at the end of last year it was said that they were planting some chestnut trees in the mountains. I haven't had time to see it since the construction started.

Ruijin is going to rush for the exam now, and the people who come to the door will refuse if they can. It's been a long time to socialize.

Okay. Zhang Fangyuan got up and took the cloak: You can go to the village with me today.

Xu He thought that there was nothing wrong with the left and right, so he complied.

The servant hid the carriage, and the two of them went together. The weather was still a little cold after the beginning of spring, which was why Xu He was worried about Ruijin rushing to the exam. The weather was variable, and it was cold in the capital, so he prepared thick mattresses and clothes. Clothes are carried in boxes.

Master Fulang, the road ahead is blocked, should we wait a while or take a detour?

Hearing the sound, Zhang Fangyuan poked his head out to take a look, he was not far away from leaving the city, but there were several carriages stopped ahead, and it was inconvenient to detour now.

What's going on, is there an accident ahead?

Going back to the master, there is a salt shop in front. I heard that the price of salt has been lowered, and the common people are rushing to buy it. The long queue hinders the passage of cars and horses.

Zhang Fangyuan frowned slightly.

Daily necessities, rice, oil, and salt are inseparable from the four things of life, and the common people revolve around them when they are happy and sleepy at night.

Salt is the top of all flavors, and the price is expensive. Ordinary people eat the cheapest marinated salt, and they put it as light as possible when cooking. Whose dishes are salty, the wife and husband want to Those who are scolded for not being able to manage the house can only be more generous when entertaining guests, sprinkle a few more grains of salt, and save face so that people can say that this family is doing well, and there is oil and salt in the dishes.

Now that the price of salt has dropped, the common people are naturally scrambling to stock up on the things they need, and there is no chance to waste them. It is reasonable that the business is booming and blocking the road.

Xu He was a little surprised when he heard that the salt store had cut prices, and he became interested: At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, there were frequent banquets at home, and I bought a lot of ingredients. The price of salt has risen a lot a while ago, and both sea salt and pool salt have risen to 50 yuan a catty. Well salt is even more incredible, selling for 120 yuan.

He called the servant sitting next to the coachman: Go and find out how much it has dropped?

Although it is no longer a family that is worried about eating salt, Xu He came from a poor family, and he has always saved what he can and does not like extravagance.

He is in charge of a huge Zhang family. Now there are dozens of people, and the opening of a drink and a meal is not small. The price of salt has risen, and the cost of buying salt for the family during the Chinese New Year has also increased. If the price is right, buy more. It can also be used at any time. When the family grows, everything must be carefully planned.

The left and right are blocked, so it's not a problem to go to ask about the situation.

Not long after, the servant came back: The price has dropped back to the original market price, and several kinds of salt have dropped by more than ten yuan.

Xu He said: Can anyone ask why the price of salt has been lowered?

It is said that the imperial court has recently cleared a lot of smuggled salt dealers, and now ordinary people can only buy salt at the salt shops in the city, and the price has been specially reduced to reward the people.

After finishing speaking, the servant said again: Fu Lang, do you want to stock up in the house?

Xu He said: It's dropped so much all of a sudden. The family just bought a lot a few days ago, and it's a loss. The salt price in the city has been in the past two years, so you go and order someone to buy some more.

yes.

The servant led the order to go, Xu He turned around and asked the people beside him: Have you got the news, what is the price of salt in the city?

Zhang Fangyuan said: Salt industry is sold by officials and merchants. Merchants can only get salt from the imperial court to get salt from the salt mine for local sales. Those who have not received salt can't get salt from the salt field. Naturally, there are also many Those who are lured by interests sell salt to merchants privately, and merchants sell salt privately.

head.

In the early years of Siyang, there was a special salt merchant who managed the salt business in Siyang, but then they did not manage it for some reason. Maybe they committed a crime, maybe the imperial court confiscated Yanyin, and the imperial court followed The salt store that directly manages Siyang has kept prices high.

The people couldn't afford salt, so they looked for ways everywhere, and there were more people selling illegal salt.

The price of this private salt is lower than the price sold by the court and salt merchants, and the quality is good, which is very popular among the people. However, this kind of business is a pursuit of wealth and danger. Once caught, the consequences will be unimaginable. For this reason, they can only do it secretly. If they are not experts, it will be difficult for the common people to find someone who sells illegal salt.

The salt sold by the government is unaffordable to ordinary people, so they will look for private salt, and the common people will go to buy private salt, and no one will buy the salt from the government. There are few people who buy it, so the government will increase the price to protect stable income. , the more the price rises, the more people can't afford it, and more people are looking for private salt.

Under such a vicious circle, it also caused a situation where private salt was flooded and the court was short-lived, and the common people also suffered, and the three parties were disadvantaged.

The private salt sellers in Siyang are now being arrested. The common people can't buy private salt, so they have to bite their teeth and buy official salt. When more people buy, the official income will pick up, and the salt price will go down.

The business of the salt shops in the city was so weak before, wouldn't those who sell illegal salt now be severely punished?

Zhang Fangyuan said: This is for sure. I don't blame those people who dare to take risks to sell private salt. The salt industry is really a profiteering industry. Who doesn't want to go to get a piece of the pie? If a serious businessman can get the imperial court's salt introduction, he will become a regular salt industry. Business operators, that is the best way out for merchants. Ordinary pawns, self-made people, there are many people who started with private salt.

He lowered his voice and said to Xu He: The Qin family's ability to become the local snake in Siyang City is actually a matter of these two generations, and the ancestors are just people with nameless peasant household registration. I worked under the Qin family in the past. I heard that the Qin family also started their business with private salt in the early years, but when the family business got bigger, they quit this business and stopped doing this business.

Xu He was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it made sense. The salt industry is controlled by officials, and it is almost a huge profit to get Yanyin. This business is not like an ordinary food, clothing and housing industry. There are many competitors. There must be a skill that is superior to others.

The government controls the salt industry, and ordinary merchants are not allowed to enter. If there is a competition for private salt, I don't even have to bother to solve it. The imperial court will crack down on private salt.

Among the merchants, the most talked about was the salt and iron industry under the control of the imperial court. Whoever mentioned it did not look yearning.

Xu He thought of the Jiangnan salt merchant who came to Siyang to buy half a street and made a fortune, and took a breath.
