Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 81 Dozing off and sending a pillow?
It's better to come early than to come by coincidence.

As soon as the salt was ready, Li Xiao just arrived.

"Xiaozhi, you arrange someone to take this batch of salt to the Salt Transport Department of Shuntian Prefecture to sell."

Li Xiao opened his mouth and ordered.

"Brother Lexiao, I've already made inquiries in advance."

Li Xiongzhi said: "In the past few days, I have been asking around about how to sell salt. The workshops in this industry transport salt to the Salt Transport Department for sale. My brother, I made a special trip to the city to get familiar with the way. After I went, I suddenly found that there is a There is a notice posted! Brother Xiao, we are very lucky! Just as we were about to sell salt, this notice came."

Li Xiao asked, "What notice?"

Li Xiongzhi said: "The content of the notice is that if the salt can be sold during this period, the salt production license will be issued directly. In the past, this license was required before salt could be produced and sold."

"It was so"

Li Xiao nodded and said, "This way things will be much easier to handle."

Originally, he planned to rely on the relationship of Prince Yan's mansion to settle this matter.

Huh?
Are you so lucky?
Why didn't you find it before?
"That's right, Brother Xiao."

Li Xiongzhi went on to say: "The notice also says that the price of salt has increased by [-]% compared to before!"

"Thirty percent?"

Li Xiao murmured in his heart: "Is there such a good thing as soon as I sell salt?"

Drowsiness came to send a pillow?
But he didn't bother to think so much, so he went to the Salt Transportation Department to see the situation.

Li Xiongzhi pulled the carriage that had been prepared earlier.

Put five thousand catties of salt into a sack and pull it away on a donkey cart.

With the experience of successfully producing salt, you can start to expand production in the future.

"As for expanding production, just leave it to Yue Zhang."

Thinking so, Li Xiao took the carriage and walked towards the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion in Beiping City.

"Xiaozhi, you've done this beautifully."

Li Xiao was very satisfied and said: "That's right. I haven't set a monthly salary for you yet, have I?"

With such a little helper by my side, it will be convenient to order anything in the future.

"What money are you talking about for Brother Xiao?"

Li Xiongzhi laughed.

He was originally a farmer with many brothers in his family, so he never had to worry about no one to plant the fields, but this also made him hate the character of farming at home.

I always think that one day, I can change the identity of farmers.

However, people in this era often decide their own life as soon as they are born.

The farmer farms, and the farmer's son also farms.

When the blacksmith strikes iron, the son naturally strikes iron.

It is only natural for a son to inherit his father's career. There are very few people like him who change the industry's thinking.

And Zhu Yuanzhang didn't allow it when he went on a pilgrimage.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a workaholic. He has been meticulous enough to stipulate everyone's household registration, what to do, and what not to do.

Although execution is a problem, it may not necessarily be implemented below.

Moreover, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

If you want to change, there is still a way.

But most ordinary people have no intention of changing, this is in their bones.

As for Li Xiongzhi, he finally seized this opportunity to change, so he naturally cherishes it very much.

As he spoke, Li Xiongzhi took out a note from his pocket.

"Brother Xiao, this is the 50 taels of silver that you left before you left. The expenses are recorded on it, and there is still a balance here."

Li Xiao glanced at it.

It records the payment of wages, the cost of buying food, and the balance of silver.

Although the handwriting is not very good-looking, but still understandable.

"Okay." Li Xiao praised: "I really did not misread you."

Li Xiongzhi said: "Brother Xiao, shouldn't this be the right thing to do, why don't you make an account book or something?"

"No, we won't do this business for a few more days."

Li Xiao waved his hand.

"what"

Li Xiongzhi was stunned, why not do such a big business?
But he didn't ask too much, and he didn't ask what shouldn't be asked.

Li Xiao glanced at it and found that there was basically no problem, so he stuffed the note back and said:

"Work hard, there is still a bigger business waiting for us. But these days, you can let the workers work overtime, pay some overtime pay, make more salt, and the profit from the sale will still belong to us. Time is indispensable for your benefits."

Li Xiongzhi nodded: "I listen to brother Xiao."

That's it.

Small talk all the way.

When they came to Beiping City.

As the sun set, the yellow light swayed on the walls of Beiping, and the sky was already slightly dark.

The yamen is probably closing soon.

A group of people quickened their pace, and when they arrived at the Yamen of the Salt Transport Department, they were about to close the door.

"My lord, wait, wait."

Li Xiongzhi hurried forward and flattered him: "My lord, we are here to sell salt."

"Selling salt?"

The yamen servant who closed the door waved his hand and said, "It's too late today, come back tomorrow."

"Officer, let's be more accommodating, it's not easy for us to come all the way."

While speaking, Li Xiongzhi took out a piece of broken silver and passed it.

The yamen servant took it away calmly, stuffed it into his sleeve, and immediately said embarrassingly: "OK, OK, come in, come earlier next time."

"Okay sir."

Li Xiongzhi waved his hand, and the groom pulled the carriage into the Salt Transportation Department.

Walked into the Salt Transport Division.

It may be because of the late arrival, but the people inside seem to have lost their value.

Entering the Yamen courtyard, a middle-aged man in official uniform was sitting in the courtyard.

He was about to pack up his things and leave, when he saw someone coming in, he said displeasedly: "Isn't it a loose value, why did you bring someone in?"

"Officer, Lu Yuan delayed the time, official, forgive me, forgive me."

Li Xiongzhi quickly bowed his head and smiled, walked over and did the same.

A piece of silver was transferred from Li Xiongzhi's sleeve to the opponent's sleeve.

The face of the middle-aged official changed immediately, becoming kinder
This is Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and today's emperor Zhu Yuanzhang hates corruption the most.

He once ordered the world: "In order to cherish the lives of the people, all officials who have embezzled more than 60% of the money will be executed, and no loans will be given."

Zhu Yuanzhang cut down batch after batch.

Many people were also skinned and cramped, and hung up as straw at the gate of the county government office.

But corrupt officials continue to follow suit.

No way, the officials of the Ming Dynasty had too little salary.

How can anyone not be greedy if he wants to maintain his dignity?

If you really become an honest official, you will live like ordinary people. What's the point of being an official?

It is nothing more than not daring to be too greedy, a little bit of greed is not a big problem.

Besides, this is Beiping, and the Emperor Shan Gao is far away and it is not easy to be found out.

The middle-aged official's name was Ying Lu, who was promoted by the Salt Transportation Department, and his main job was to collect salt.

He shook his sleeves with a smile, and said: "You guys are new, is this your first time here? Who is the boss?"

"Guan Ye is really astute, we are indeed here for the first time."

Li Xiongzhi patted the horse, and hurriedly introduced: "This is our owner."

Li Xiao smiled and cupped his hands.

"Quite young."

Ying Lu glanced at it, then said:
"You guys came at the right time. Not to mention that the salt price has increased by [-]% during this period, it is still settled in cash, and there is no default. Open the salt scallops to see if the quality is too poor to sell at a good price."

"Open it, please take a look."

Li Xiao ordered.

The groom and Li Xiongzhi moved the sack out of the carriage and untied it.

Yan Yunsi raised his hand and walked over to take a first look.

The whole person was stunned
