Chapter 585 Salt Mine

The golden eagle was raised by Luo Hengju since he was a child, so Luo Hengju, the master, knows its expression and small movements the most.

"Is this from him?"

"Huh..." The golden eagle called out again.

"He was looking for these in the past?"

Then there is the third question.

The golden eagle screamed again, then flew up, and landed on its owner's shoulder, Luo Hengcon patted its head, "You've worked hard, I'll let some small fish eat in a while. "

"Hey..." The golden eagle happily flapped its wings, and then flew outside. This is to find the person who feeds the small fish. It used to be fed by the hostess, but the hostess is now lazy. Now, he is lazy than the eagle, so he went to the person next to the hostess and asked

Those people have all fed it with the hostess, so they naturally know what kind of small fish it likes to eat.

Luo Hengxuan also stretched out his hand, and his fingers were also stained with those small white particles.

"Master, what did he buy so much salt for?"

Changqing is just puzzled by this matter. Although salt is essential and cannot be left, no one buys a bunch of it at a time. Just like in your Shuowangfu, you can't eat it in one month. A few kilograms, there is no way that Ningkang Hou Aiyan was crazy in love, but he bought a lot of salt.

Can it be bigger?

It's not like they haven't seen the shape of the golden eagle. It must have rolled itself in salt several times. Otherwise, how could it have so much salt on its body?

"Probably not bought."

Luo Hengju patted the salt grains on his clothes lightly.

"It wasn't bought, could it be..."

Changqing's eyes suddenly widened.

"Young Master is suspicious..."

"He sells illicit salt?"

Changqing was all frightened. Da Zhouming had a ban. Salt was only allowed to be sold by officials, but it was not allowed to be sold privately.

It's just that Chang Qing's brows are all tied together, even if Qi Yuan sells salt privately, it really doesn't make much sense.

"I'm afraid not."

Luo Hengyuan stretched out his hand, and Chang Geng had already put a cup of tea in his hand. He brought the teacup in front of him, then placed it in front of him, and gently poked back some tea leaves with the tea cover. This is a light sip.

"He has always been very ambitious. Selling illicit salt is different from blocking the market in brothels."

Although the brothel is clearly ordered, there are not too many people who open it. Sometimes officials can turn a blind eye. After all, this is all about paying a lot of taxes to Da Zhou. .

Changqing nodded, that's exactly what happened.

This is indeed the case. The treasury is empty. Now, as long as some taxes can be added to the treasury, even if it is explicitly prohibited, as long as it is not excessive.

That one really turned a blind eye, not to mention these commoners, officials and squires, I am afraid that the hands and feet of these clansmen are not too clean.

"Then what does it have to do with salt?"

Changqing just doesn't understand, what does this have to do with it? Could it be that Qi Yuan's courage was really too big. He was still not satisfied when he opened a brothel and casino, so he sold illicit salt. Selling illicit salt is different from others. The business of selling illicit salt does not need to pay taxes to the imperial court. , This is the money earned by the court, and it is necessary to fight against the court.

Qi Yuan is not stupid. He really dares to do such a thing. Anyone with a slightly longer brain will know that a brothel can be opened, a fortune can be found, and printed money can be put away, but private salt cannot be verb: move.

Luo Hengju gently put the cup on the table, and then swept his sleeves, and swept the salt grains on the table to the ground.

If it's just buying and selling private salt, I'm afraid he doesn't take it seriously. Such a cautious person can't put himself in such a dangerous situation. Private salt is to make money, but it is better to open a brothel.

He could raise a hundred or ten dead soldiers, and he never cared about money. I'm afraid he still has a way to earn more money.

And instead of selling private salt, it's better to...

"He should have a salt mine in his hands."

"what?"

Changqing barely choked to death on his own saliva.

"Young master, are you kidding me? You said that there is a salt mine in Qiyuan?" Oh my god, a salt mine is the same as an iron mine, and a salt mine makes more money than an iron mine. Ben's business, after this year, I am afraid that people can earn millions of taels of silver just by digging a few digs in the ground, especially this private salt, which does not have to be sold to Da Zhoulai. A lot of official salt is not lacking, but other big and small countries are in short supply.

At the end of this year, I am afraid that the money that I have earned will not be counted.

"I'm afraid that's what it is," Lao Hengjuan stroked his sleeves, "otherwise, with his temperament, there is no more interest, no more things that can make him tempted, and let him be willing to take risks, just selling As soon as I say it privately, he will not accept such a dangerous thing."

Therefore, the only thing that can be explained is that the private salt he sold was not bought by him from others and then sold secretly, but...

He originally had a salt mine in his hands, so he could earn more and earn more.

I'm afraid that Shen Qing's speech is a product of incense, and it's no match for Qi Yuan's private salt mine in his hands.

"Sir, what are we going to do now?"

Changqing rubbed his hands, how could he feel so happy. If this salt mine is really found, let's not mention whether Ning Kanghou will be finished.

The salt mine was found out, and the master of his family made another great contribution. For the emperor, this was an excellent explanation. Come to think of it, this year's awards were all nailed to the iron plate. things, and the master has a reward, these few of them are guards, and their faces are naturally bright, and the most important thing, the saint is in a good mood, maybe he will give them a lot of good things, even if It's because the sage doesn't give it, it's not because they still have their sons, no, they have to add one more wife, and their wives give the most.

And now he doesn't know how much money he has saved on his body. Anyway, it's just more or less. If he saves it for a few more years, he can save his wife's book. At that time, he was the It's time to start a family.

However, he now feels that he is still very young, and he can follow the son's birth and death for more than ten years, so the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law is slow at first, and after saving enough money, he can marry whoever he wants.

Now that there is another good thing in front of him, he is naturally very excited. He has not done such a thing for a long time. Thinking about it, he is really excited.

Luo Hengju raised the cup again, but didn't drink it. He narrowed his eyelashes slightly, "I'm afraid he already knows about this, so..."
