Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 53 God Bow Ice Sniper Rifle, Talk to the Boss if You Want to Get Rich

The method of opening the middle salt, to be precise, should be called "the method of opening the middle".

The so-called open-China law was a policy conceived in the early Ming Dynasty to solve the problem of military rations on the nine borders.The imperial court encouraged private individuals and merchants to transport grain to the border towns, and then issued corresponding salt guides according to the amount of grain delivered, and the merchants took these salt guides to buy and sell salt.

In ancient times, table salt was exclusively sold by the state, and the control was very strict, rising to the height of strategic materials.

Therefore, being able to participate in the salt business and obtain salt imports from the government is the dream of businessmen.Not to mention the big profits, the most important thing is that operating salt trading is a symbol of status, a manifestation of financial resources and connections!
Jiang Dejing said: "Your Majesty reopened China and France, and let the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River transport grain to Yimeng Mountain. The risk is borne by them. We just send them some salt."

"It's a pity that since the Wanli Dynasty, Kaizhong Law has been corrupted, and the salt industry has been in the hands of the inner court. The eunuchs have used it to amass money crazily. Many merchants are afraid, but many private salt dealers have been born. If Your Majesty can eliminate the malpractice of the salt administration, merchants They will definitely flock to it, there is nothing more profitable than the salt business in this world!"

Yan Ermei added: "The minister has also studied the method of opening the middle. Not only can it be used for salt, but also for important materials such as tea and pig iron. What Jiang Shangshu said is not unreasonable. .I request the emperor to delegate the power of enforcing the Chinese law to the household department, and to select and appoint a reliable person to be the inspector of salt and be fully responsible for this matter."

Li Cunming stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then said: "Actually, I know better than you that although the inner court controls Yanyin, it doesn't collect much money every year. Instead, there are many disadvantages. It is imperative to eliminate the disadvantages of the salt administration, but it is not yet when."

"When we do things, we must grasp the main contradiction. The biggest problem now is to curb the Manchu Qing's move to usurp the Han people's country. In other words, we are now in a wartime state!"

"Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. Cao Huachun collects commercial taxes in the south. He is the most experienced in dealing with big merchants. We still have to entrust him with the implementation of the Chinese law. But don't worry, I will allocate all the money from the salt business. Taicang, the household department, will not leave a penny. As for the patrolling salt censor, he will not be appointed until the situation is stable."

Since the emperor was so confiding, the ministers had nothing to say.

Li Cunming immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Gong Yonggu, saying: "Send someone to deliver this letter to Cao Huachun quickly, without any mistakes!"

After solving the problem of transporting grain to Yimeng Mountain, Li Cunming went to eat.In the evening, Princess Changping and Wang Yi came.

"Father, what good gift have you prepared for this son?" Princess Changping's voice came first before she entered the room.

Li Cunming said with a smile: "Hua Mulan, you see that you have turned into a little black girl, I will call you Hei Mulan from now on! Look, how about this bow?"

Princess Changping took the bow and was stunned.

This bow is very large, and the dry material is high-quality expanded wood, which is also very gorgeous. There are many dense patterns carved on the body of the bow.The pattern is simple and thick, with a special atmosphere.

"What kind of bow is this? It's too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it away."

"I captured it in the hands of Liu Zeqing. He said it was the Godly Houyi Bow handed down from ancient times. I don't dare to say whether it is the Godly Houyi Bow, but this bow is indeed magical. You can try it yourself and you will understand."

"Really?"

Princess Changping tried to draw the bowstring. She thought it would take a lot of effort, but she was so shocked that she could not speak.

With Princess Changping's arm strength, using an ordinary bow is already more difficult than a man's.It is at least said that this divine bow requires nine stones to draw fully, yet she bends it as easily as a full moon, how can she not be surprised?

"I don't know the reason, but it really doesn't take much effort to pull this bow. What's even more amazing is that there is only one feathered arrow. When this arrow hits the enemy, it will fly back by itself no matter whether it hits or misses."

Princess Changping was stunned again, she turned around and said: "Arrows, give me quickly, give me quickly..."

"Don't worry!" Li Cunming looked at Wang Yi, pointed to a rectangular leather box on the table and said, "That's the gift I gave you, you can go and see for yourself."

Wang Yi walked over and opened the box respectfully, only to find a weird gun.The barrel is long and thin, and the body of the gun seems to be forged of fine steel, glowing with a faint light, and it is also equipped with a scope.

Princess Changping leaned over to take a look, and exclaimed: "What a delicate gun! Father, what kind of gun is this? It is more sophisticated than the bird's beak gun and flintlock gun, and it looks much more complicated. It's also very strange."

"This is a sniper rifle, and it was also seized from Liu Zeqing. Wang Yi, this gun is not trivial. I can't hand it over to you for the time being. I'll show it to Bi Maokang and Mr. Tang before we talk about it."

After clapping his hands, the shadow suddenly appeared, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, scaring Princess Changping into screaming again.

The dagger in the shadow's hand is called Han Bing, together with the Houyi Divine Bow and the sniper rifle, all obtained by Li Cunming when he signed in.

It's just that these three things are too miraculous and precious, costing him a full 200000 positive emotional points, plus that brave and bloody horse, has already emptied his accumulated positive emotional points for many days.

Li Cunming introduced the shadow, and said with a smile: "The three of you are very close. You should treat each other as good friends. You should be inseparable in daily practice and work. Get to know everyone's temperament and each other's habits as soon as possible. If you can get married Jinlan, it couldn't be better!"

Princess Changping vaguely guessed that the emperor had deep intentions, and asked, "Father, what do you want us to do?"

"I want to build an organization that will make the enemy's leaders sleep and eat, and talk about it!" Li Cunming stopped and didn't explain too much.

After thinking about it, he specifically warned: "Shadow is very capable, but he is timid. Chang Ping, you are not allowed to bully him."

"Are you very timid?" Princess Changping made a face towards the shadow.

Shadow hurriedly hid behind Li Cunming, and whispered: "Master Monk said that a woman is a tiger, scarier than a tiger!"

……

Nanjing City, Zuixian Tower.

Five Huizhou merchants in luxurious clothes went upstairs and entered a high-end private room.These people who are usually wealthy and domineering, dare not show their air, and there is fine sweat on their foreheads.

The reason is very simple, sitting across from the nemesis of the big businessmen, Cao Huachun, Boss Cao!

"Our family invites you to come, and we want you to find a way to transport 50 shi of grain to the north within half a month, of which 30 shi will be sent to Xuzhou City, and 20 shi will be sent to Yimeng Mountain. After that, come to our house Come here to get the salt guide."

A businessman surnamed Liu said: "It's not difficult to send grain to Xuzhou City. But it's impossible to go to Yimeng Mountain. The Tartars have occupied Shandong..."

"Stop it!" Cao Huachun put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyelids slightly, "Our family came to you not to discuss with you, but to give you an order. Do you know what an order is? If you don't know, come with us to the West Factory. , we will ask our people to explain to you."

The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder, which made these Huizhou merchants kneel down, trembling.

"Can it be done?" Cao Huachun asked.

The businessman surnamed Liu hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, definitely!"

Cao Huachun grinned, with a smirk: "In business, you need to be open and honest. Let's show our sincerity first. After you finish this matter, you will not only get Yanyin, but also a fortune waiting for you." , just have to wait until later.”

"Our family's sincerity has been shown, don't you have to show it a little too? Send your eldest son to Xichang, and the governor will train and train them."

"Ah!" The merchants were out of their wits.

Cao Huachun said: "Don't think too much, it's not that you let your sons be eunuchs, they are not qualified enough, they just live in the West Factory for a while."

It turned out that they were taking hostages. Although they were overbearing and overbearing, it was better than eunuch eunuchs. The merchants breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Huachun immediately got up and left, turned around and laughed when he reached the door: "You guys call me Boss Cao in private, don't you? Our family likes this name very much! Remember, if you want to make a fortune, talk to Boss Cao directly!"

A night owl laughed like a cry, and gradually went away until it disappeared.

Only then did the merchants stand up bravely, as if they had entered a bath one by one, drenched with sweat.

"The devil, the big devil!" the businessman surnamed Liu muttered, subconsciously covering his mouth in a hurry.
