The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 14

Song Wei was trying to be a secret, and Cai Hu couldn't say anything.

It's like this every time, no matter what I ask, I don't say anything.

Cai Hu muttered in his heart.

But he didn't dare to say this, wouldn't he be beaten to death?

Song Wei looked at Cai Hu, and then said: "Next, you continue to buy salt in Linxian County. This time, you only need to buy one hundred catties."

Song Wei thought for a while and continued: "Wu Zhenkun will definitely think that the official bought the salt from Lin County, so if you go to buy it this time, the price will definitely increase. No matter how much he has increased, you only buy one hundred catties and come back. It’s time to continue pretending to buy a lot.”

"Yes!"

Cai Hu responded.

Song Wei nodded: "Let's go now. By the way, it will take longer this time. Come back in two days."

Although Cai Hu wondered why he had to wait two days before coming back, but he knew that even if he asked Song Wei Haihui Temple would not say anything, he nodded and said, "Yes!"

After Cai Hu left, only Song Wei was left in Song Wei's room.

Liu Ruyan suddenly appeared next to Song Wei.

Song Wei was already immune to the sudden appearance of this woman.

"what happened?"

Song Wei asked.

"Can't I come to your room if I have nothing to do?"

Liu Ruyan said to Song Wei.

Song Wei was speechless for a moment, yes, you are beautiful and everything you say is right.

But Song Wei didn't dare to say this, but said: "Of course."

Liu Ruyan gave Song Wei a blank look, then found a chair and sat down.

"All of our salt is sold. This is the money, 3 taels, not too much and not too little."

Liu Ruyan put the money on the table over and over again.

Then he continued: "I didn't expect to make so much money selling salt. What are you going to do with the money?"

Song Wei put away all the money and said, "Naturally, it will be used on the common people. Don't worry, I will never embezzle it."

Song Wei naturally knew what Liu Ruyan meant, wasn't he just afraid of being corrupted?How dare I be with you by my side?
"It better be like this, or else"

Liu Ruyan took out the dagger, and slowly slid her fingers on the dagger.

Song Wei was completely ashamed, this sturdy woman, no one will marry you if you do this.

"Don't dare."

Song Wei laughed.

After Liu Ruyan left, Song Wei wiped away the sweat that didn't exist.

"Hey, this woman."

Song Wei muttered softly.

Song Wei's plan has already started, and the salt-making government servants are also in full swing.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Cai Hu came to Song Wei and said, "Sir, as expected, the price of salt in Linxian County has increased to seventy yuan per tael."

Song Wei looked at the straw of the five-horse carriage and nodded.

"Unload the straw from the cart and load all the [-] kilograms of salt we made onto it."

Song Wei said.

"Yes!"

Cai Hu said, and started to get busy.

Four days have passed since Song Wei made salt, and more than a dozen yamen servants have produced more than 2 catties of salt non-stop during these four days.

Now all are loaded on the truck and transported back to Yamen.

After returning to the yamen, Song Wei wrote five yuan and one tael, and each household could buy up to one catty after registration, and then put it on the table selling salt.

Five cents per tael is Wu Zhenkun's price of [-]%.

Then let a yamen servant knock on the gong and shout: "Attention, attention! The master has a new batch of salt, five yuan and one tael! But there is a requirement that each household can only buy one catty of salt per month, and it must be registered. Who bought it! The master also considered that every family can eat salt, so we set up six stalls, and each stall can buy salt!"

The news instantly exploded among the people of Zhen'an County.

A large number of people rushed to the Yamen to block the water around the Yamen.

And the news continues to spread.

More people came to Yamen.

"Everything is quiet, everything is quiet!"

Cai Hu shouted to the people.

"Everyone buys after queuing up to register, everyone can rest assured that every household can buy, don't worry, don't stampede, pay attention to safety!"

Cai Hu looked at the people who had lined up like a long snake with no end in sight and continued to shout.

Then Cai Hu started selling salt.

"Name, who bought it?"

Cai Hu looked at the first person and asked.

After the first person answered, Cai Hu took out a catty of salt and sold it to him, and Cai Hu continued to sell salt.

And at this time, the Wu Mansion.

"Not good! Not good!"

A young country squire rushed to Wu Zhenkun.

"Why are you so anxious? Speak slowly, what happened?"

Wu Zhenkun was still playing with the tea cup, looking at the visitor and said.

After the visitor took a few deep breaths, he said, "Brother Wu, something bad has happened. That guy Song Wei has continued to sell salt."

Wu Zhenkun said calmly: "He can sell as soon as he wants, but I want to see if he can last for a few days."

"No, and he sells it for five yuan and one tael, and every household has to register before they can buy it."

The visitor continued.

"what?"

Wu Zhenkun instantly crushed the tea cup in his hand and stood up suddenly.

"Is what you said true?"

Wu Zhenkun stared at the visitor with gloomy eyes and asked.

"What I said is true. It is absolutely true. There has been a long queue at the gate of the yamen."

The visitor said to Wu Zhenkun.

Wu Zhenkun sat down again, his eyes twinkling with stars, he didn't know what he was thinking.

What the hell is Song Wei doing?
You can't make any money at all for five cents and one tael!

How dare he sell it for five cents and one tael so boldly?
After a long time, Wu Zhenkun said: "Send someone to check, what the hell is Song Wei doing?"

"Yes!"

The visitor said, and left Wu Zhenkun's room.

Wu Zhenkun's eyes were extremely gloomy, and he took out his handkerchief to wipe off the blood on his hands.

But Song Wei didn't care about Wu Zhenkun. Looking at the people who still couldn't see the end, Song Wei returned to the room.

He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

"Wu Zhenkun, now you will lose a layer of skin if you don't die."

Song Wei said in a low voice.

At this time, Liu Ruyan suddenly came to Song Wei's room.

Song Wei raised his head and looked at Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan ignored Song Wei's gaze and sat directly opposite Song Wei.

Then got myself a cup of tea.

Song Wei looked at Liu Ruyan again, but didn't say anything.

"Song Wei, how did you come up with this idea?"

Seeing that Song Wei was silent, Liu Ruyan asked.

"Think of what?"

Song Wei looked like he didn't know what Liu Ruyan was talking about.

Seeing Song Wei's appearance, Liu Ruyan squeezed her fist.

I kept saying in my heart, don't get angry, don't get angry.

"How did you know there was salt in there?"

Liu Ruyan asked after calming down.

Song Wei smiled, and then said: "The heavenly secret must not be revealed!"

Liu Ruyan wanted to kill Song Wei instantly.

Then she continued: "No matter what, Wu Zhenkun will definitely not die because of this."

Song Wei nodded: "I've thought of this a long time ago, the days are still long, he will die sooner or later."

Seeing Song Wei like this, Liu Ruyan couldn't do anything to him, snorted coldly and left Song Wei's room.

Song Wei smiled and shook his head, then whispered: "It's really time to get ready."

Time slipped away quietly, and at this moment, night had fallen.

Cai Hu came to Song Wei's room.

"My lord, a total of six thousand catties of salt was sold today. This is today's silver, a total of 300 taels of silver."

Cai Hu put the money on the table while talking.

Song Wei didn't look at the money on the table, but nodded and said: "You have worked hard these few days, have a good rest at night, and continue to buy salt tomorrow, and you will go to the place where we make salt tomorrow and let people build a few houses Come, divide their salt-making steps, each part to a house."

"Yes!"

Cai Hu said to Song Wei.

Song Wei nodded to let Cai Hu back down, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
