"Young Master, it's done."
Ah Gou respectfully handed the 12 catties of refined salt in his hand to Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu shook it in his hand. Ah Gou, who was beside him, asked curiously,"Young Master, since you're going to thank Lord Huang Zicheng, why don't you prepare more gifts?”
"This one has an extra two catties of salt."
Before he could finish, Zhu Yu interrupted him,""Ah Gou, you don't understand."
"Our Lord Huang is not an ordinary person. He is a good official who cares about the country and the people. He is willing to help others and think for the people. This kind of good official is incomparably honest. If I bring those things you said to thank him, how could he accept them?!”
"It's better to get two catties of salt for him.”
"With this extra two catties of salt, I'm afraid that a good official like him who helps others will have to decline.”
"Hey!"
"I have to think about how I can let him accept the extra two catties of salt."
"Young Master is wise, hehe, even I can't see this.”After hearing Zhu Yu's explanation, Ah Gou scratched his head with a silly smile.
"Alright, stop flattering me. Hurry up and push the cart with Ada. We'll go to the Salt Envoy Office together. After selling these refined salt to the officials, I will give you your monthly salary.”
"Hehehe, thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master!”
Upon hearing this, all of them seemed to have been injected with stimulants. A few of them pushed a few wheelbarrows and ran extremely fast.
Zhu Yu followed behind and almost fell out of line.
About four hours later, Zhu Yu arrived at the Salt Commissioner Office.
As soon as he reached the door, before he could report, the eyes of the minor official on duty in the salt commissioner office lit up when he saw this scene. He immediately came over and reached into the bag of salt. His eyes lit up as he said,"Is this all salt?"
"It feels very delicate. This salt is of the highest quality.”
"Yes." Zhu Yu nodded heavily.
"So many? Recently, the Salt Envoy Department's yamen is short of salt. It's great that you sent so much.”
The minor official seemed very happy and said,"
"Besides, to tell you the truth, the price of salt in the yamen has risen. The purchase price of high-grade refined salt is now 40%. You came at the right time.”
"Four points?"
Zhu Yu's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"Ten catties is four taels of silver. My one thousand catties is four hundred taels of silver.”
He suppressed his excitement and cupped his hands at the small official."Milord, the salt has been delivered.”
"Please wait a moment, Langjun. I'll go and find Deputy Ambassador Liu. Such a large amount of refined salt needs to be handled by him.”The minor official cupped his hands and ran into the yamen.
"Lord Liu? Was it that Lord Liu Quancai who was entrusted by Lord Huang Zicheng?”Zhu Yu was surprised.
A moment later,
A familiar voice came from inside. Zhu Yu smiled. He didn't run away. It was him.
"A thousand catties of salt? Or fine salt? Our yamen is lacking good salt, let's go, let's go, quickly show this lord.”
Liu Quancai was also walking very quickly.
When he reached the yamen, he saw Zhu Yu and was stunned.
"Hmm?"
"Zhu Yu? It was you? Why are you here?"
Zhu Yu smiled and cupped her hands at Liu Quancai."Sir, I'm here to sell salt."
"Selling salt?"
This time, it was Liu Quancai's turn to be dumbfounded. He widened his eyes and turned to look at the six big bags of salt on the car. He said with a dry tongue,"This? Are you the one who sold 1,000 catties of salt?”
"That's right!"
The smile on Zhu Yu's face grew even wider. She cupped her hands at him again and said,"Sir, these are the refined salt from the salt mountain. They are all refined salt and high-grade goods.”
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to your help that this salt mountain can be in my hands!”
Boom!
Liu Quancai's head was buzzing.
Brother-in-law's salt mountain was so valuable?!
And he actually resold it at the price of cabbage
this, this
He couldn't take this blow!
.....
.....
"This Lord Liu seems to be sick.”
"I heard that the Salt Envoy Division has been running out of salt recently. They have been urging the salt merchants to refine salt, but the results are not obvious.”
"The thousand catties of refined salt sold to the Salt Envoy Division today is a drop in the bucket for the people of Jinling.”
"After all, Lord Liu has helped me. When I go back, I must speed up the refinement of refined salt and help Lord Liu!”
Zhu Yu made up her mind. She would repay a favor!
If Liu Quancai knew what Zhu Yu was thinking, he would probably suffocate to death.
He felt stifled when he thought of the salt mountain in the northern suburbs.
Coming out of the Salt Commissioner Department's yamen, Zhu Yu had four hundred taels of Great Ming Treasure Notes in his hand. He exchanged some of the Great Ming Treasure Notes and settled the wages of the people he hired.
He stuffed the rest of the money into his waist and looked very happy.
"Later, get the old man a set of clothes and let him shine!”
"However, before that, there's one more thing I have to do, and that is to visit Lord Huang Zicheng.”
Zhu Yu picked up the 12 catties of refined salt in her hand and walked in the direction of Huang Zicheng's mansion.
......
Qingyuan Lane, where Huang Zicheng lived.
In the mansion, he finished reading and took a sip of the tea that the old butler had sent over. Suddenly, he thought of Zhu Yu's matter and asked in a contemptuous tone,"What has the merchant Zhu Yu done recently?”
"Master, he has been busy recently. The salt mountain is also in operation. It seems that he has already dug deep into it.”
" I just don't know if they have produced salt yet," the old butler replied with a smile as he tidied up the books.
"Salt production?"
A cold smile appeared on Huang Zicheng's round face.
"The salt mountain looks big, but it has no mining value. Even if he hollowed out the entire mountain, there would be no refined salt to extract.”
"Hehehe, this little merchant is going to fall into my hands this time."
