Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 367 Refined Salt
At this time, Tao Mo, an official of the Salt Transport Division, was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

"Who is it outside? Why is it so noisy?" Tao Mo frowned, not in a very beautiful mood.

At this moment, an official ran in and shouted, "Master Tao, we have discovered a very good salt!"

Upon hearing this exciting news, Tao Mo's drowsiness dissipated in an instant, and he quickly stood up and asked, "What good salt is it, and where did you find it?"

Nowadays, the quality of salt in Chang'an City is not very good, so it is very exciting to find good salt at this time.

"I found it in the market, it's great, it's even better than what we paid tribute to the harem!" The official said while running away panting.

Hearing this, Tao Mo also became somewhat expectant.

In this salt transportation company, he has nothing to do every day, so he knows how to sleep.

It's not that he's lazy, it's just that there really isn't much to do in this yamen.

But if he can get the best salt, he can make a great contribution, and at that time, he might get a chance to be promoted.

Tao Mo also knew that a lot of salt was basically in the hands of several big families in Chang'an City, and it would never flow into the market at all.

Now that someone is selling good salt in the market, it means that their opportunity has come.

"How much did you get?" Tao Mo then asked the official.

The official named Xu Yuan said with a smile: "I got a full hundred catties!"

As he spoke, he put on a very proud look, which seemed to be asking for credit.

When Tao Mo heard this, his eyes lit up, and he raised his legs and ran into the yard.

At this time, in the yard, there was a brown wooden box.

Tao Mo walked over and found a lot of fine salt packed in small boxes inside the wooden box.

After looking at the salt in the box, Tao Mo found that there were still two people standing beside the box.

"Are you selling this salt?" Tao Mo thought for a while, then he knew that these two people must have been brought back by Xu Yuan.

Lao Lu waved his hand and said to Tao Mo, "This salt is sold by our master."

After speaking, he pointed to Li Fu standing behind him.

Tao Mo looked at Li Fu in the direction that Old Lu pointed.

After all, he was just a small official of the Salt Transport Department, so he didn't know Li Fu, so he looked him up and down.

"Where did you get your salt?" Tao Mo asked Li Fu.

The origin of the salt must be clarified, otherwise, if something goes wrong, I will be doomed forever.

Li Fu smiled, and said to him, "It's from the Yanshan Mountain in the western suburbs of Chang'an City. I've already bought that mountain."

"Salt Mountain in the western suburbs?" Tao Mo thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "Isn't the salt there not edible at all?"

"Hehe." Li Fu shook his head and smiled, "I have my own way to deal with it."

Tao Mo glanced at Li Fu suspiciously, then looked down at the salt in the box, dipped a little with his hand, and put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's really good salt." Tao Mo nodded and said.

Working in this yamen by myself, I can naturally tell the quality of salt as quickly as possible.

The refined salt brought by this young man can be said to be the best salt I have ever seen.

Afterwards, Tao Mo called someone to weigh the box of salt.

"Boss, how much salt do you have?" Tao Mo asked Li Fu while the official was weighing the salt.

He thought, he must eat this young man, and he can't let him sell the salt to other people.

Li Fu was still smiling, and said to Tao Mo: "That's all for now, but my salt mountain is in operation, and it will continue to produce in the future."

"Okay, I'll take all your salt from now on, and I'll give you the highest commission!" Tao Mo hurriedly made a promise to Li Fu.

Li Fu nodded in agreement, and all the salt produced in the future would be sent here.

At this time, the salt has also been weighed, a full hundred catties.

Tao Mo asked Li Fu to hand over the money, and sent Li Fu away.

After Li Fu left, Xu Yuan said to Tao Mo, "Master Tao, why don't we mix in some secondary salt and sell it together!"

"Sell a fart!" Tao Mo slapped Xu Yuan lightly, "Pay tribute directly to the harem, hurry up, don't keep anything!"

After Xu Yuan heard it, he nodded quickly and said yes, and then called for someone to load the salt into the car.

……

On the other side, Li Fu and Lao Lu were strolling casually on the streets of Chang'an City.

The Tang Dynasty is worthy of being a celestial dynasty, and this city of Chang'an can be said to be prosperous.

On the road, you can see luxurious young masters and ladies everywhere, and even some blue-eyed and blond-haired foreigners.

The two walked and soon came to the Shen residence.

The purpose of coming this time is to buy that deserted salt mountain from him.

Before Li Fu told Tao Mo that he had already bought the salt mountain in the western suburbs, but in fact, he just said it in advance.

After all, I haven't talked with Shen Ku in person, and this matter has not been settled yet.

After knocking on the door, an old housekeeper came out and asked Li Fu why he came.

Old Lu went forward to explain the purpose of his visit to the old housekeeper, and said to Convenience: "I'm sorry, our master is not here today."

"Then there is no one in your family who can take charge?" Lao Lu asked impatiently, with a bad attitude.

The old butler thought for a while, and then said in an angry manner: "Then you wait a moment, I will call our young master."

After speaking, the old butler closed the door.

After entering the inner courtyard, the old housekeeper found Shen Lian, the first young master of the Shen residence, and Shen Jie, the second young master.

"What, you want to buy my salt mountain?" Shen Lian asked a little strangely upon hearing this.

As soon as the old butler told him about the matter, many thoughts came into his mind.

"What kind of person are you to buy my salt mountain?" Shen Lian didn't dare to be careless, so she said to the old housekeeper.

The old butler said, "It's a very simple-looking young man, he should be from the countryside."

"A countryman?" Shen Lian was even more surprised.

Although it was a bit strange, Shen Lian still asked the old housekeeper to call Li Fu and Lao Lu in.

"I heard from the old housekeeper that you want to buy my family's Yanshan in the western suburbs?" Shen Lian asked Li Fu as soon as he entered the door.

Looking at the young Li Fu opposite him with a simple and honest face, he felt that he was a person who was easy to bully, so he developed some bad intentions.

Standing in the hall, Li Fu faced Shen Lian's question without any expression change on his face, and said calmly, "That's right, I want to buy it."

Naturally, Shen Lian didn't know Li Fu, so he really regarded him as a countryman, and didn't even ask him to sit down.
