The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 55

Li Bei spoke very quickly, he followed up almost as soon as Song Wei's words fell.

This move made the people around him unable to react for a moment.

When they reacted, they all despised Li Bei in their hearts.

"Sir, my salt shop outside the city can also be rented to you, and the annual rent is only 500 taels."

At this time, another salt merchant also said.

The other salt merchants also despised him instantly, including Li Bei who had finished speaking.

And while despising them in his heart, he regretted why he didn't rent a salt shop outside the city before.

After all, Song Wei is now the biggest topic in Zhen'an County. Not only has the price of salt been stabilized, but the red fox has also been wiped out.

Now the streets and alleys regard this matter as the topic of dinner, if Song Wei is benefited at this time, it will benefit a lot in the future!

Song Wei also didn't expect Li Beihe to say such words directly.

Then Song Wei shook his head: "I don't need you to rent the salt shop to me. I just want to cooperate with you. The salt shop will still be managed by your people, and there is no need to change anything else."

"Yes!"

Li Bei and the man both lowered their heads.

Now it's all right, I thought Song Wei could owe me a favor, but he didn't accept this at all.

This is an embarrassment among colleagues.

Immediately Li Beiyou raised his head, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Everyone in this room has known each other for many years, no one knows anyone!
Who here doesn't have a small heart?
"Well, let's leave this matter as it is first. You should give me the location of the salt shop as soon as possible. I will have the yamen servant deliver the salt to you in the next few days. It would be better if you inform me too."

Song Wei looked at the others, and they must have no other salt shops, so he coughed dryly and said.

"Sir, there is something wrong at this time."

Li Bei suddenly said.

"Oh?"

Song Wei looked at Li Bei in surprise, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Bei looked at Song Wei, and then said, "My lord, even if we cooperate with your lord on the salt shop outside the city, the business of the salt shop outside the city is not good, and your lord can't sell much."

Li Bei spoke out his thoughts.

Song Wei nodded after listening.

He has already thought of this matter. Although no one will buy it, he can find a way to get people to buy it.

Li Bei saw that Song Wei had been silent, and then continued: "I have an idea, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

Song Wei looked at Li Bei and wondered what Li Bei was thinking.

"speak!"

Song Wei said.

"Yes!"

Li Bei responded and continued, "Sir, why don't I sell salt in Lin County?"

"As far as I know, the price of salt in Lin County is still [-] yuan a tael. If we go to Lin County to buy salt at a price of [-] yuan a tael, I believe it will soon spread throughout Lin County."

"Also, the little one has also tasted the salt made by the grown-ups, which is a taste that the little one has never tasted in this half of his life. The salt that the little one has eaten before is like chewing wax compared to the salt made by the grown-ups."

"Selling it with your salt, I believe it will soon make a name for itself in Linxian County and surpass all the salt merchants in Linxian County."

Song Wei responded and then said nothing. In fact, Song Wei also thought about selling salt in Linxian County.

However, selling salt in Lin County also consumes a lot of money, and it is very troublesome.

So Song Wei gave up this idea.

As an old fritter, Li Bei can naturally see that Song Wei also has this intention, but for some reason Song Wei did not choose this idea.

"My lord, my younger brother is also a salt merchant. It just so happens that he is in Lin County. If possible, I would like to recommend the adult's salt to my younger brother, and let my younger brother and the adult work together."

Li Beiyou continued.

The salt merchants next to him looked at Li Bei in surprise.

This old fox doesn't even let go of the market in Linxian County.

Li Bei's operation also broke his waist.

Even Song Wei didn't expect Li Bei to say such a thing.

"This"

Song Wei also hesitated, after all, the choice of Lin County is much better than outside Zhen'an County.

Li Bei was overjoyed when he saw Song Wei hesitate.

It seems that I guessed it right.

"grown ups!"

Li Bei knelt down on the ground, then looked at Song Wei righteously and said: "My lord's salt is the best salt I've ever seen, and good salt should be sold so that everyone in the world can eat this salt. I hope the adults can agree."

After finishing speaking, Li Bei kowtowed down.

Song Wei squinted his eyes, he knew what Li Bei was thinking.

Although Song Wei has never done business, are such things rare?

Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

However, Song Wei was a little moved.

If he buys salt in Lin County, his profits can be imagined.

It can better fill the vacancy in the current Yamen.

"Very well, I promise you."

Song Wei finally chose to sell salt in Lin County.

"Thank you sir!"

Li Bei said loudly.

The surrounding salt merchants despised Li Bei again, not only despised but also scolded him, which made him feel much more at ease.

After that, things became very simple. Song Wei asked the salt merchants to leave and asked Li Bei to prepare. The first batch of salt will be delivered in the next few days.

Naturally, Li Bei did not dare to neglect. After returning to his shop, he quickly wrote a letter to his brother and asked someone to deliver it.

This is a great opportunity for them to rise up in Lin County, and he will never let it go.

As long as his younger brother agrees, then the two of them will be invincible in Lin County, because the salt made by those salt merchants in Lin County is no match for the salt made by Song Wei.

This is also the foundation of his self-confidence.

And not long after he left, Song Wei returned to his room.

Now that the problem of salt merchants has been solved, it is necessary to solve how to deliver the salt to Lin County.

It is possible to sell salt in Lin County, but it is difficult to sell things in Lin County.

Fortunately, Li Bei's younger brother already has a store in Lin County, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The only trouble is how to transport the salt to Lin County.

Suddenly, Song Wei's eyes lit up.

Maybe there is no need to let themselves transport the salt to Lin County, they can be stocked.

At this time, there was a knock on Song Wei's door.

Song Wei cleared his throat: "Come in!"

"Master, Li Bei wants to see Master!"

The door opened, and a yamen servant walked in and said.

Song Wei nodded: "Understood."

After speaking, Song Wei stood up and walked out of the room.

After arriving in front of Li Bei, Song Wei asked, "Okay?"

To be honest, Song Wei didn't expect Li Bei's efficiency to be so fast.

Not long after that, there was already news.

Li Bei looked at Song Wei with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing Song Wei asking himself, he quickly said: "No, I have already written a letter to my brother, but I may have to wait until tomorrow to get the news."

"And the little one didn't come to the adults this time because of the salt problem."

"The villain has been with Wu Zhenkun for many years before, and there are people in the Wu Mansion who have a good relationship with me, especially after the Lord wiped out the red fox, there are also people in the Wu Mansion who want to join the Lord."

"This time he managed to get out of the Wu Mansion just to tell me a piece of news."

Li Bei took a breath and continued.

"Steward Wu of the Wu Mansion sneaked out of the Wu Mansion early this morning, and then secretly sent a large amount of food back to the Wu Mansion."

"Small doubts. Maybe Wu Zhenkun wants to raise food prices!"
