According to Cheng Yaojin's story, he was not a member of the Sanfu Gang, he was just a downline member of one of the distribution channels of the Sanfu Gang, and he did not commit the case here, he committed the case in Shandong.

"I don't know how much private salt I sell in total. Anyway, I have been doing this business for more than a year, and I have made more than a hundred taels of silver. I have lost all my drinking."

Wei Zheng and Qin Hu asked him: "Why do you make so little money? That's violent. As long as you have the goods, you can sell whatever you want."

"The price I get the goods for is as high as 5,000 yuan, and the maximum I can sell is 8,000 yuan. Otherwise, who can afford it? A pound of private salt costs eight taels of silver. Many people have not eaten that thing for several years.

"

"The goods you got from the Sanfu Gang are correct, right?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there are many private salt dealers, but the biggest source is the Sanfu Gang. Now the court doesn't care about it. The powerful ones are openly selling salt and making a fortune."

Wei Zheng said: "Now the world is in chaos. Counties and counties all over the country are waiting and watching. They are obedient and secretive to the imperial court. The chiefs of counties and counties can only get a little bit. Who cares about your private affairs? As long as you send money to the master, I will turn a blind eye.

Close one eye. There is nothing we can do."

"That's not necessarily the case!" The corners of Qin Hu's mouth suddenly turned up.

Wei Zheng said: "Actually, we can also sell some private salt to raise some funds. If we do well, we can also keep the price of salt down, which will be of great benefit to the people. The court doesn't care about it anyway. As for official salt, the output is now up."

It’s so low, and some places don’t have it at all, so they have to rely on private salt.”

"If you want to do it, do it with the biggest one, or else don't do it," Qin Hu said.

Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "Old Qin, you can't do this. The Sanfu Gang will definitely fight against you, and your ship won't be able to enter the canal. Governments in various places will also strictly check your goods. As soon as you enter the country, you will be

We were caught. We all did this with bamboo sticks from the Sanfu Gang. When the officer saw it, he turned around and left."

"Why are you so young and old? You also called me Lao Qin?" Wei Zheng rolled his eyes at him.

"Hey, it's okay."

Qin Hu also rolled his eyes: "Then according to what you said, you shouldn't have appeared in the Prison Department Prison. Why did they arrest you?"

"I don't know, maybe I offended someone." Cheng Yaojin spread his hands with a confused look on his face: "If I knew who was stabbing me behind my back, I would have to twist his head off."

Qin Hu looked at Wei Zheng, and then kicked Cheng Yaojin: "You go back to the barracks, tell General Dugu Sheng that it is my wish to make you a captain of ten, and you take your

Go down and patrol the canal for me."

"That won't work." Cheng Yaojin said, "I understand this. Patrolling is the business of the Jinwu Guards and has nothing to do with the Xiaoguo Army. This is a dog trying to catch a mouse."

"Are you stupid? You won't tell them. Just say that there are deserters in the Xiaoguo Army and you are ordered to arrest them. I will take care of the rest."

Cheng Yaojin smiled widely: "Then I can do whatever I want. These bastards from the Sanfu Gang used to bully me, but now I let them know what rights are."

"go quickly."

"But we don't have a salt drying plant. We have nothing. Now we are completely blank. We don't know what to do. It's really difficult to start from scratch." Wei Zheng said.

"Let me think about this and talk about it later." Qin Hu shook his head and walked out of the room. He really didn't have any good ideas now.

Qin Hu has indeed had nothing to do recently. Even though the world is boiling like a pot of porridge, there are actually very few people who dare to fight a tough battle. For example, the five coalition forces composed of Yang Gongqing, Hao Xiaode, Zuo Cai, etc. are said to have 500,000 soldiers.

The army besieged Zhang Xutuo, but in the end, the thunder was loud and the rain was light.

Each of the five coalition forces had their own motives and hesitated to advance. They wanted others to take the lead, and they were also worried about being stabbed in the back. This resulted in a stalemate. Zhang Xutuo also stood still and waited for them to divide further.

At present, the best and most exciting one is Wang Shichong. He wins a battle almost every two days and beheads many people. The emperor admires him very much.

But according to Li Junxian's opinion, fake military exploits accounted for 90%, and Wang Shichong was so courageous that Qin Hu was ashamed of himself.

The emperor did not send Qin Hu to the expedition, so there was no point in rushing. He could only wait like this, not knowing how the situation would evolve in the future.

Therefore, he wanted to make some money and do something, but as Wei Zheng said, it is too difficult to start from scratch, and it is possible to work until the end and get nothing.

However, people who don't understand computers may not be able to open an Internet company. They just need to use shells to lay eggs. He understands this very well.

So he thought of another force in Dongdu - the Treasure Gathering Club.

If we can cooperate with the treasure gathering club, we will get twice the result with half the effort.

And he felt that with the current grain and private salt trade, the profits were so huge, and the market was monopolized by the Sanfu Gang, it was impossible for the Jubao Club not to be jealous behind the scenes, so they should want to cooperate with him.

At least Qin Hu has huge power in his hands. He can open the canal and settle the government. This kind of power is what the Treasure Club lacks.

"I don't know if his big boss is in Dongdu."

Qin Hu knew that the silk trade in the two capitals had always been monopolized by Jubao Club. All the silk and satin shops on the street, as long as they had the word "Zhu Ji" on their plaques, were chain stores of his. Just go to any one and ask.

So Qin Hu strolled to the entrance of a relatively large Zhuji Silk and Satin Store. At a glance, he found that the entrance was sparse, the business was bleak, and no one was visiting at all. It was very different from the bustling scene in the past.

It's no wonder, the people can't even eat, and who has spare money to buy clothes? The days of the treasure gathering will definitely not be easy.

"When General Qin comes here, the shop really shines."

At this moment, an old man suddenly walked out of the store and gave Qin Hu a deep salute.

Qin Hu looked at it, didn't recognize it, and asked strangely: "Old man, how do you know my identity?" The old man's face was wrinkled, his smile was simple, but his eyes showed that he was a shrewd man, and he said respectfully: "General,

I'm lucky enough to have met you before. I've also been to your porridge factory, so I recognize you."

"Oh." Qin Hu nodded: "Shall I go in and sit down?"

"It's a great honor for me, General, to come here." The old man quickly lowered his head and let Qin Hu in.

"General, you want to buy silk. Which one do you like, I will send it to your house." The old man nodded and said.

Qin Hu was a little embarrassed: "I, my, I don't buy anything, I am -"
