Chapter 501

In the copper colored crane mouth censer, a dense and quiet light smoke continuously floated out of the crane mouth of the censer, with a light fragrance. After the rendering of this light smoke, the originally ordinary air around became expensive after being contaminated with the fragrance of sandalwood.

This is an antique study. What is burning in the HEZUI incense burner is a century old phoenix sandalwood with a price comparable to gold. This study is located in the east of the state city in Yinzhou, the northwest transfer yamen of Yinzhou city. The owner of this study is Jiang Tianhua, the authoritative northwest transfer envoy.

At the moment, the northwest transit envoy, dressed in a crimson official uniform, sat next to a desk in the study, stretched out two fat fingers maintained like green onions, gently picked up a handful of glittering and translucent things like snow from the porcelain plate in the middle of the desk, and carefully observed them over and over in front of his nose.

Jiang Tianhua is in his 50s. He has a square face and big ears. He is a little fat. Because there is too much meat on his face. At first glance, he thought his face had been stung and swollen by a wasp. His eyes have been covered by the round meat. Only two slender gaps are exposed. There are no eyeballs in the gaps, and don't look white, Only occasionally, two shivering cold lights flashed through the gap. Also, because of his obesity, ang Jiang Tianhua's face seemed to be smiling at any time.

In the northwest officialdom, the nickname of Jiang Tianhua is "smiling tiger". The smiling tiger Jiang Tianhua is ruthless and greedy. He has the power to supervise the northwest officialdom, and behind him is the prime minister. Even if the state assassins want to give him some face, they don't dare to offend easily. Over time, Jiang Tianhua becomes more unscrupulous in the northwest.

Jiang Tianhua carefully stared at the handful of small white things on his hands. After staring for half a minute, he put the handful of things into his mouth and closed his eyes.

After a long time, Jiang Tianhua opened his eyes and nodded. A beautiful maid nearby brought a cup of warm best Xuefeng tea. Another beautiful maid knelt in front of him and raised a pure gold spittoon in her hand.

"Gulu Gulu..." Jiang Tianhua raised his neck, drank a mouthful of tea, rinsed his mouth with tea, spit the tea in his mouth into the pure gold spittoon, took the towel handed over by the third beautiful maid, wiped the corners of his mouth and hands, and then waved to let all the maids go down.

"This is the new snow salt in Pingxi county?" Jiang Tianhua asked, staring at a businessman with the same flattering face and a big belly in front of him.

"Back to adults, this is snow salt. Do you know how much it costs a kilo?"

"How much?"

"This snow salt is completely in short supply. A kilogram of snow salt is now on the market. It costs four or two or five cents a kilogram, which is twice as expensive as the best green salt. That's twice as expensive!" When it came to the price of snow salt, the merchant's eyes glowed with gold, and he put out his tongue to lick his lips. His greedy expression was completely written on his face.

"Worth the price!" Jiang Tianhua nodded and smiled, "there are few places in the whole Han Empire that can produce such salt. Even compared with tribute salt, it's not much!"

"Who said no?" The same pot bellied businessman was also laughing, "I heard that the salt farm of snow salt is completely in the hands of leisitong, the governor of Ganzhou. My family wrote from the imperial capital and wanted to ask you for a favor. Can you tell Lord Lei that 50% of the snow salt that will appear in the salt farm in the future will be sold by our family on a commission basis!"

"Hahaha, as Lord Gu, just write to Lei Sitong directly. Why come to me? I think Lei Sitong will certainly give Lord Gu face!" Jiang Tianhua said with a laugh.

The pot bellied businessman also smiled, "our family said that he and Leisi are on the same floor, which is inconvenient, and Leisi don't eat soft and hard. He's in the imperial capital, so he doesn't have a good hand in the things in the northwest. The salt is also transported with the army. Your honor is right. If Lord Jiang can do it properly, Then, Lord Jiang said to my family last time, my family will be able to do it! "

Jiang Tianhua's eyes flashed, and then he smiled, "well, you tell your family, I'll think of a way. I'll go to Ganzhou in a few days. I'll talk to Lei Si first!"

"Then I'll wait for your good news!" The pot bellied businessman was very jealous. Seeing that Jiang Tianhua picked up the tea cup again, he stood up politely and left obediently.

Seeing that the merchant had left, Jiang Tianhua's smiling face slowly became a little cold. He snorted with disdain, "your family care hand is too long. Where can I get you in such a business? Can you really be a waiter in the imperial capital? Wait until your waiter master makes a letter of honor!"

The figure behind the screen in the study flashed. An old man with a thin face, silver hair, wearing a flowing blue dress, a fan in his hand and a beautiful long beard on his chin had quietly walked out.

"The Gu family is really greedy. Adults should stay away from the Gu family in the future so as not to be affected by the fish in the pond!" The old man came to Jiang Tianhua and said softly.

"Well, yes, the Gu family is really going too far. Now the Gu family earns at least more than 400000 liang of silver a year in the northwest. They are not satisfied. They actually want to encourage me to grab food from Lei Sitong's bowl. Is Lei easy to mess with at the same time? They really treat me as a fool!"

The old man gently shook the folding fan and smiled, "it doesn't matter what leisitong thinks. What matters is what the prime minister thinks. The prime minister has great ambition and aims for nothing. If the Gu family doesn't know how to restrain and make heaven angry and people resent, it will not be tolerated by the prime minister in the future and destroy the Gu family. The family wealth accumulated by the Gu family in recent decades is the prime minister's, Moreover, the prime minister can also have a good reputation and be praised by the people all over the world. Do you think the prime minister will do such a good thing? "

Jiang Tianhua was shocked. He quickly stood up and arched his hand at the old man. "Thank you for reminding me. It seems that he can't have more contact with the Gu family in the future!"

"Well, as long as you win the manufacturing Bureau, the salt farm in Pingxi county will fall into your hands sooner or later!"

"Ah, sir, are you comforting me? The salt farm is now the lifeblood of Leston. How can it fall into my hands?"

"Don't you think it's strange that the salt farm in Pingxi county is in Yuntao county. Several salt mines in Yuntao County used to produce only soil salt, so now they produce such good refined salt!"

"Didn't the news from Pingxi County say that Leisi took dog shit with him and found a rare top-grade refined salt mine under the salt farm in Yuntao county?"

"Do adults believe this statement?"

Jiang Tianhua frowned slightly, "Sir means..."

"Before Yan Liqiang came back, several salt mines in Yuntao county had been producing earth salt for so many years. Why didn't you find any top-grade refined salt mines? Why did people find the top-grade refined salt mines as soon as Yan Liqiang came back? Don't adults think it's too coincidental?"

"Does Sir mean that Yan Liqiang can have a way to turn inferior soil salt into snow salt?" Jiang Tianhua was shocked. Hearing such news in his ears was like hearing someone's magic of turning stone into gold. It was incredible.

"My Lord, don't forget that Yan Liqiang is in the imperial capital, but the way of grid things is famous all over the world. He can also sit down and talk with Zhang yourong, the first mechanism master in the world. Now people all over the northwest say that Yan Liqiang can be enlightened by God and man in his dream. The way he handed down to treat drowning people is the way he was taught by God and man in his dream, which has been handed down all over the world, How can adults infer from such people? "

Jiang Tianhua was stunned. The fat on his face trembled for a while, and then a layer of oil came out and rubbed his hands excitedly. "If Yan Liqiang had such skills again, I really underestimated him before..."

"As long as you can put the manufacturing Bureau in your pocket and gain a firm foothold in Pingxi county this time, we can slowly figure it out. As long as you have Yan Liqiang's method, you can turn earth salt into snow salt. At that time, you will have as much money as you want. If you give this method to the prime minister, you will be more important in the prime minister's mind, The future is limitless... "

"Hahaha, that's right, sir. As long as I stand firm in Pingxi county and win the manufacturing Bureau, Yan Liqiang is not kneaded by me, but Zhong Xiankui doesn't know what's going on. There's no news for so many days..."

Just as the two were chatting in the study, an official of the transfer yamen hurried outside the study with a bundle of official documents and asked to see Jiang Tianhua. Jiang Tianhua asked the official to come in and open the official document. His face suddenly changed

Just a few days ago, because there was no news from Zhong Xiankui, Jiang Tianhua, who thought that Zhong Xiankui and his party were made difficult by Leisi and his colleagues in Ganzhou, also asked the transfer Yamen to send a formal official document to Ganzhou Assassin's office, ready to take the official channel to put some pressure on the assassin's office. Unexpectedly, the assassin's office delayed for a few days and returned the official document today, But he told Jiang Tianhua that he didn't know that the people who transferred the Yamen went to Ganzhou for business. There was no news from Zhong Xiankui and his party in Pingxi County

"Call me Qu Mingcheng right away..." Jiang Tianhua roared in his study.

Half an hour later, a man in armor and cold face hurried to Jiang Tianhua's study

……

On that night, the two patrol Ma Bu camps stationed in the transfer yamen outside Yinzhou city were completely noisy and boiling. Countless patrol Ma Bu camp officers began to shout loudly in the barracks to let the people in the Ma Bu camp gather

Early the next morning, it was just dawn. Qu Mingcheng, the chief inspector of the northwest transfer yamen, rushed out of the Yinzhou camp with two inspectors and more than 1000 cavalry, fully armed and murderous, and really ran to Ganzhou

This day is already September 26
