"Brother, we have some salt and need to take action, but we don't know where to go?" Su Ming came to this fleet member and took out a bunch of money and handed it to him.

The man seemed to be the small leader of the fleet. When he saw the money handed over by Su Ming, he waved his hand but did not accept it.

"To sell salt, go to Land No. 1. Just go north to the end. From north to south, there are eight areas: salt, cloth, grain, livestock, ironware, ceramics, herbs, furs, and groceries. From now on, you can go directly to the northernmost area to sell salt.

That’s it.” The man pointed out to Su Ming.

The other party didn't charge any money, which surprised Su Ming. They all said that Wang Zhi was very trustworthy in doing business, and everyone from big to small was equal. This also showed that he was very powerful. Seeing this, Su Ming admired Wang Zhi.

Already.

Su Ming and Fifth Brother went all the way to the northernmost part. They saw various caravans lining up and talking to a man who looked like a master. Su Ming waited patiently in line. After the master talked to one person, a caravan took its goods and went to a road.

on board.

He hadn't noticed it yesterday, but today Su Ming found that there were quite a few people selling salt here, and most of the people in charge were tall and tall, and the weapons they wore around their waists were obviously only available to military officers.

The master just told everyone to get on the boat of whatever salt they wanted to trade. The people in front walked faster and faster, and suddenly a team caught Su Ming's attention.

There was a team less than ten feet away from him. Although the leader covered his face with a black cloth, Su Ming recognized him at a glance as the flag leader of Yao Qianhu.

Generally, there are 3 to 5 100-household chiefs under the Qianhu, and then they lead a banner leader. There will be more than 50 direct soldiers, and these people are usually the most elite.

I met this flag leader Su Ming last time. I only know that his surname is Chen. My eldest brother should be familiar with him. He led more than 30 soldiers and drove 8 carriages. The carriages were all filled with cloth bags containing salt. Su Ming probably

It is estimated that there are hundreds of stones of salt.

An idea suddenly came to Su Ming's mind. If he robbed them later, Yao Qianhu's strength would be greatly reduced. Not only could he get a lot of money, but could the pressure on Erwei Fort be lessened?

Thinking of this, Su Ming shook his head. If Yao had left all these soldiers here, without this year's smuggling income, he would probably jump over the wall and take away the salt production plant in Erwei Fort.

At that time, the problem may become a matter of officialdom. Su Ming knows nothing about officialdom. Although he is not afraid of attacks from general forces, Er Weibao will inevitably fall into a great passive position.

After giving up the idea of ​​robbing Yao Qianhu, Su Ming waited for Chen Banner Master to leave. He soon came to the famous master.

"What kind of salt? How much?" The master spoke slowly, making him sound gentle.

"Snowflake salt is less than forty stones." Su Ming said.

"Go to the fourth ship, the biggest one." The master stared at Su Ming for a long time, watching him lead his soldiers away before turning his head.

Su Ming took Fifth Brother and others to use a carriage to pull the salt off the big ship. He saw a long wooden board on the big ship extending to the shore. He asked Fifth Brother to unload the salt from the carriage and planned to use a pole to carry the salt.

He got on the boat first, led by a young man.

When they got on the boat, there was a black man in his forties sitting on a chair. Seeing that the clothes the man wore were all fine brocade, he must have a high status. The other man didn't speak. Su Ming got on the boat.

Later, he was also waiting aside, watching Fifth Brother and others carrying salt onto the boat.

A team of more than ten people came over and opened the salt bags to carefully check the quality of the salt. They waited until Brother Wu and others brought all the salt up. They also quickly finished checking the salt. An inspector whispered in the ear of the man in robes.

After saying something, Su Ming saw the other person walking towards him.

"My little brother is very young. The quality of this salt is very low, but snowflake salt is no better than other salts. In the Ming Dynasty, only the royal family and the nobles used it.

In the past, the market price was as high as 2 taels of silver per pound, but this price was false. This year we have also received some snowflake salt, and yours is the largest.

In the past, our purchase price for a pound of snowflake salt was one tael, 200 cents, but now that there are so many goods... how about just paying 1 tael of silver? If it is too much, the transaction will not be worthwhile!" The black man said clearly, Su Ming is not everything.

If you don't understand the child, you know that what he says is the truth.

Su Ming was very satisfied that one pound of salt could be sold for 1 tael of silver. He went to Hangzhou to sell the salt for only 900 Wen. This time, so much salt could be purchased for one tael of silver per pound, which was a huge sum.

"Okay, let's go with this price, and please weigh me!" Su Ming knew that he didn't have to have anything to do with these people. Now that they can negotiate the price with him in order to trade, maybe in a few days the other party will turn into a pirate and kill us.

Weiburg is here.

All the snowflake salt was weighed, a total of 38 stones and 121 kilograms. The man in Jinyi checked the numbers with Su Ming, went upstairs and came down a quarter of an hour later holding a red wooden box.

"A total of 5821 taels of silver. Here are 500 taels of gold and 821 taels of silver. Take a look." The man in golden clothes opened the box, and Su Ming saw rows of gold and silver ingots inside.

The gold ingots are all 10 taels, and the largest silver ingots are 50 taels. The weight is printed on them, and the quality looks very good.

500 taels of gold weigh about 16 kilograms, and 821 taels of silver weigh about 27 kilograms. If the other party gives all the silver, it will take several large boxes. Su Ming knows that gold is used in many large commodity trades. One tael of gold from the other party counts as 10 taels for himself.

Silver, I should have taken advantage of this.

The imperial court stipulates that 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver. However, most of the gold is only circulated among nobles and large-scale trade. It is difficult for ordinary people to see it. A lot of gold in the black market has been sold for 14 taels of silver in exchange for 1 tael of gold. You can use gold to directly trade with others.

Trading, you deserve it, your business can get bigger and bigger.

Although Su Ming was only a member of a hundred households, he could already feel the imperial court's fear of people like Wang Zhi through the Ming Dynasty in his mind.

What the farmer is doing now is not just poaching the Ming Dynasty. He has given such wealth to the people, so that the people and the big coastal families can clearly understand the Ming Dynasty's exploitation of the people. No wonder there are so many pirates along the Ming Dynasty who oppose the imperial court.

The voice could not be suppressed.

Such maritime merchants have threatened the rule of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. Now Wang Zhi earns not only money, but also people's hearts. How can the Zhu family let them go?

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Ming was attracted by a sound, which was the sound coming from the template of the maritime police ship in his consciousness.

"Discover whether silver is absorbed? Discover whether gold is absorbed? Tip: One tael of gold can be exchanged for 12.5 taels of silver."

"No!" Su Ming refused directly. He absorbed it but could not explain it to his elder brother. The transaction had been completed. Su Ming hugged the wooden box and got off the ship with his fifth brother and other soldiers.

Su Qingping and others surrounded Su Ming in the middle and looked carefully at everyone around him. Su Ming saw that after he and others got off the boat, the waiting group of people boarded the boat he had just boarded. Many people around him were

Staring at the wooden box in his arms, Su Ming knew that he had to leave here quickly.

"Fifth brother, the box is a bit heavy, so you should hold it!" Su Ming stopped and said to fifth brother.

Give the box to Fifth Brother. If anyone dares to attack them, Su Ming can take out his rifle and shoot them directly.

Su Qingping took the box and walked quickly. Soon they left the Bishui Bay area and entered the southern bamboo forest.

In the bamboo forest, Su Ming saw many people waiting here, and he didn't know what they were waiting for. The team came here not just for trading.

"Fifth Master, Eighth Master, someone is following us." A soldier noticed that there were several figures following them and couldn't help but remind them.

"You go first, I'll take care of them." Su Ming said and was about to stop. He wanted to show these people some color.

"Eighth brother, let's meet up with eldest brother first! Big brother has already set up defenses at the hiding spot. How can you stay alone? What if we encounter danger again on the road?" Su Qingping knew that Su Ming had a gun, but

I don't want him to stay alone.

Su Ming thought that the fifth brother might be in danger on the way to meet his eldest brother, so he decided to let the guys behind him go and meet up with his eldest brother first.

Following Fifth Brother through the bamboo forests, Su Ming could no longer tell the direction. Under the moonlight, he could only feel the bamboo leaves moving in front of him. He did not dare to stop and walked quickly. Soon they found an open space in front of them.

The eldest brother took several soldiers and hid behind a big rock. When he saw them coming back, he came out.

"Where are the fifth and eighth brothers?" Su Ren asked hurriedly when he saw Su Qingping holding a wooden box and did not notice Su Ming's figure.

"It's in the back!"

"Brother, I'm here." Su Ming stepped forward and stopped when he saw several figures following them behind him.

"Just come back. Then we will hide here and wait for everyone to leave us before going out. Someone will be sent from the castle to pick us up tomorrow morning. These carriages are placed here. We can just wait here with peace of mind." Su Ren said.

"Brother, someone was following us just now and they probably haven't left yet. Do you want me to lead someone to catch them back?" Su Qingping handed the box to Su Ming and led the people to chase the person who had just followed them.

"It's better not to act rashly yet. The fleet hasn't left yet, but the trouble will be dealt with. Let's wait and see!" Su Ren said, staring into the distance.

A group of people came to a pile of rocks. Here were all the goods they had exchanged. Food, cloth and other items were placed on the ground. All the soldiers rested against the pile of goods.

Su Ren asked people to pile up a circle with stones. The pile of stones was about three feet high. If attacked by enemy archers, it could be an effective defense.

Su Ming checked the situation here, handed the box to his eldest brother, called his thirteenth brother who was not far away, and was about to leave the pile of stones.

"Eighth brother, where are you going?" Su Ren couldn't help but asked when he saw Su Ming wanting to leave.

"My eighteenth brother and I will take a look at the surrounding terrain first. If someone attacks us later, we can organize a defense." Su Ming said.

Su Ren knew that his brother had a gun, so he couldn't stop him. He raised his head and looked at the people around him: "Let your fifth brother follow you! Don't be impulsive!"

"I know!" Su Ming said as he walked out of the pile of rocks. He took his fifth brother and his thirteenth brother around and walked around. When he saw that apart from the path to the west, there was only one path left to the south, he felt like it.

Got the numbers.
