701 Chen Junsheng

The Jiang family's salt business has already reached this point. It is impossible for him not to collude with the high-ranking official in the capital.

"Brother Qin, will we also have private merchants to do the official salt business in Qing?" Thinking of this, Gu Xiaowan asked after thinking about it.

Qin Ye was stunned, Xu didn't expect Gu Xiaowan to ask this question, but after seeing that Gu Xiaowan didn't seem to be asking casually, he also answered seriously: "Well, the production and sales of the salt industry in the previous dynasty were all related to each other. For private business!"

Gu Xiaowan nodded. At this time, there is no industrial salt or coarse salt, so eating it should not be harmful to the body.

The key is that if the salt industry is monopolized by private merchants, then if there is a shortage of experiments and private merchants drive up prices, the poor people will not be able to afford salt, which will be very harmful!

Moreover, the country lacks one tax, which falls into the pockets of private businessmen, reducing a large amount of income!

"From the beginning of this dynasty, the emperor has issued a new order, requiring all private traders to hand over the right to produce and sell private salt." Qin Yezhi said quietly.

Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, Gu Xiaowan seemed to have guessed something: "I'm afraid these people don't want to pay it at all! Selling salt is a big business with huge profits. They have already tasted the sweetness, so how can they hand over this good business to the state for free? What!" Gu Xiaowan said the point all at once, not like an ordinary child, but to the point, speaking of greatness.

Qin Yezhi was slightly stunned, and looked at Gu Xiaowan in surprise.

I don't know what's inside the kid's head, and even such a powerful relationship is immediately clear.

Seeing that Gu Xiaowan understood this, Qin Yezhi didn't hide it, and said everything he knew: "After the emperor ascended the throne, the first order he issued was to restore the production and sales channels of the salt industry!"

"I'm afraid that after giving this order, there will be many difficulties!" Gu Xiaowan received it, and she didn't have to think about it. If she had already taken it back, why is the Jiang family still involved in the salt industry?

"Yes, it is very difficult to recover the channel. These people have handed over their rights to the imperial court, but in private, the most important part of their production and transactions is still in their own hands." Qin Yezhi The hands under the clothes were suddenly squeezed, but there was still no discoloration on his face.

Gu Xiaowan is not good at what to say. This is a major national event. If she is a commoner who always talks about the affairs of the court, if she is heard, it will be a serious crime to be beheaded.

Gu Xiaowan stopped talking, and Qin Yezhi couldn't say anything more.

The carriage began to start.

"Hmph, isn't he just a traitor and thief, the emperor is going to take back this illicit salt, these people are still doing illicit salt activities in private here, don't they despise the sky and hear what it is!"

Suddenly, an abusive voice came from outside.

As soon as the man said his words, he could hear the needles falling silently around him. No one around dared to speak anymore, but all looked at the scholar-like young man like a monster.

Then the group dispersed.

Hearing this voice, Gu Xiaowan felt very curious. It was rare that there were such people who were not afraid of the powerful, so she couldn't help but lift the curtains to find out.

Xu was the young man who heard the movement here and looked here too. Gu Xiaowan happened to see the man's face. After taking a look, she felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Gu Xiaowan immediately lowered the curtain of the car, not seeing the surprise that flashed across the face of the young man outside the car. Seeing that the car curtain was lowered again, the young man looked lonely.

Helpless, I can only watch the carriage gradually go away.

The young man returned to the dilapidated home, where a sick old lady was lying on the bed, and the family was poor and destitute.

Xu Shi could not see the sun all the year round, the old woman's face was pale, and when she saw the descendant came back, she said lovingly, "Jun'er, are you back?"

Chen Junsheng hummed and opened the windows and doors, just as a ray of sunlight shone into the house.

The woman, Xu Shi, had always closed her eyes, but this time, seeing the dazzling sunlight coming in, Xu Shi's eyes hurt, and she quickly narrowed her eyes.

Chen Junsheng hurried forward, hugged the woman gently, and buried the woman's head in his arms. Block the dazzling sun!

"Mother, are you hungry? I bought you a big meat bun today!" After Chen Junsheng finished speaking, he immediately took out a bun wrapped in oiled paper from his pocket. As soon as the bun was opened, it was steaming hot.

Chen Junsheng handed the meat bun to the woman, and said happily as if offering a treasure: "Mother, eat quickly, this bun is still steaming hot!"

Seeing that there was only one bun in the oil-paper bag, the woman quickly pushed it away and said, "Jun'er, eat it!"

Before Chen Junsheng could speak, he burped in embarrassment, then looked at his mother, and said a little embarrassedly, "Mother, I just ate at the market! Look, I burped!"

Then he got close to Mother's mouth and kept saying, "Mother, eat quickly, the steaming buns are delicious!"

Chen's face was full of vicissitudes. Seeing his son's filial appearance, he happily took a bite and said happily: "Well, it's delicious. Son, mother can't finish eating such a big meat bun, why don't we Half of each person!" After speaking, he was about to break the bun.

Chen Junsheng immediately stopped her hand, and said with some displeasure: "Mother, you can eat it! I really have eaten it. If you don't believe it, I won't be greedy next time, and I will eat mine too. Stay home and eat with you!"

Chen Junsheng muttered

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen hurriedly said, "Hey, no, Jun'er, you have to eat when you are hungry. Don't starve yourself out. Mother eat, mother eat..."

"Well, mother, eat slowly, don't choke, I'll pour you a cup of hot water." After that, Chen Junsheng left the house and walked into the thatched hut next door.

This hut is even more rudimentary, except for a stove and a dilapidated table, there is nothing in it.

Chen Junsheng scooped a bowl of water into the pot and drank it loudly.
