Chapter 83 What are you eating?big eater!

The name of this salt transport envoy was Hao Yongchang, he was dressed in a scarlet official robe, and he was an official of the fourth rank.

Civil servants from the fourth rank in the local area are no longer small.

He is in charge of the entire Salt Transportation Department, which is not only responsible for collecting salt, but also responsible for a lot of things such as salt roads, temperance, distribution, and so on.

Therefore, I seldom come to the salt department, which is the department responsible for collecting salt.

Because this department is too stable, there will be little change.

But these days, he has been worrying about collecting salt.

It's time to come here to inspect the work.

Today, as usual, he asked about yesterday's salt collection work.

Another rebel who was in charge of the account books began to report the situation of salt collection to Hao Yongchang, the salt transport envoy.

"Master Hao, the total amount of salt collected yesterday was [-] catties."

"Tianjia Salt Village in Daxing County sells 40 catties of salt, which is of high quality. The price is [-] Wen, and the silver is [-] taels."

"Liu's Salt Village in Ningcai County sold 52 catties of salt, which was of high quality. The price was 440 Wen, and the silver was [-] fifty taels."

"Dong'an County"

After reading the last one, the traitor was a little puzzled, so he read it out:
"Xinyanhu in Dong'an County, 520 catties of salt, the quality is excellent, the price is one coin per catty, and the cash settlement is [-] taels."

The voice fell.

The luck of salt made Hao Yongchang think he heard it wrong, and frowned, "What? Repeat one more piece."

Yunbu hastily repeated: "Xinyanhu, Dong'an County, has 520 catties of salt. The quality is excellent. The price is one yuan per catty, and the cash settlement is [-] taels."

The forehead of this middle-aged rebel was a little sweaty.

How can there be any Yanhu salt that is charged as high as a penny?

Isn't this bullshit?

He has a clear mind, and there are indeed some secret operations in this part of the weekdays.

Doesn't the quality of salt depend on their mouths?

Say more prices and let the salt households return the excess money to them.

Once you come and go, you can get more kickbacks from it.

But I dare not be so blatant, at most a catty of salt, a few more copper coins.

This is directly a penny and a catty, which is indeed a bit exaggerated.

What's more, at this juncture, there are superiors watching this matter.

At this time, Hao Yongchang's face was serious, and he said, "What kind of salt should be collected at a high price of one penny per catty? Please explain to me."

Yunbao didn't know how to answer, so he hurriedly explained: "Master Hao, this may be some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? I'm afraid you are making trouble inside!"

Hao Yongchang said angrily: "What do you do on weekdays, I will pass by with my eyes closed. At this juncture, King Yan is staring at this matter. You are still acting like this, don't you want your brains?" !"

The voice fell.

Yunbu was sweating profusely on the spot, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Master Hao, there must be omissions in the records."

Yun Tiao tremblingly said: "I don't know about this record. It was yesterday when the value was released. At that time, Ying Lu was the last to leave. Why don't I ask Ying Lu to ask the record?"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly greeted the yamen servant at the side: "Come here, call Yinglu for the promotion."

"It's an adult."

The yamen servant hurriedly trot out of the room.

After a while, the yamen servant ran back again and said, "My lord, Tiju is not in the Ministry of Salt, and I don't know where he went."

"Bang" sound.

Hao Yongchang threw the teacup on the table to the ground angrily.

"What are you eating? A bunch of idiots!"

"Not on duty during the duty time, I think you don't want to do it anymore, do you?"

Hao Yongchang sternly said, thinking that he must rectify it today, otherwise the Salt Ministry will be so nonsense that he will be implicated sooner or later.

"Lead the way! Lead me to the warehouse."

"I would like to see how good the salt that was collected yesterday for a penny of silver and a catty is very good!"

"If you dare to deceive the superior and the inferior, I will definitely report it to the Procuratorate for punishment!"

The sound fell.

The officials of the Ministry of Salt were shaking like chaff for a while.

They did connect up and down in private, and did some small tricks to supplement their families.

If this is reported to the procuratorate, it may not be that the official position will be lost, and I am afraid that I will not be able to keep my head
"Master Hao, calm down."

The middle-aged Tongsan poured another cup of tea, wanting to relax a bit, and thinking about countermeasures by the way.

"Don't do this! Quickly lead me to the warehouse!"

Hao Yongchang directly pushed the tea aside, got up, and then looked over: "Still not moving? Is it because I can't order you?"

"Yes, my lord, I will lead you right away"

The general judge was also helpless, this time it was really going to be over.

On the way, he deliberately slowed down and winked.

It means to let them quickly notify the warehouse, take out the best salt, and replace it to deal with it.

Those little officials understood the meaning and just wanted to speed up their pace and enter the warehouse ahead of time.

However, this Hao Yongchang is not a fool, he also quickened his pace.

Several people remained in sight almost all the time.

Now, there is really nothing to do.

"Is it a blessing or a curse? I can't avoid it"

Tong San thought in his heart, wait until the matter is exposed, first push out Ying Lu, the idiot, and then think of a way
Hao Yongchang walked to the warehouse in two or three steps, and asked the officials in the warehouse, "Did you send a batch of [-] catties of white salt yesterday?"

An official in the warehouse replied: "My lord, there is indeed such a thing. I went home last night, and I was called by Master Ying Lu to come over to the warehouse. The villain was also a little puzzled, why did I still put it in the warehouse at such a late hour?" .”

"That's Ying Lu."

Tong Pan gritted his teeth and said: "Master Hao, this Ying Lu is an idiot, and he has some problems in his mind. I have already found out that something is wrong with him, it must be his fault!"

"Hmph. He's playing tricks, and you can't escape responsibility even if you take care of the books!"

Hao Yongchang snorted coldly, then strode in: "Take me to where the batch of salt is."

The warehouse official immediately led the way.

After walking seven or eight steps, we arrived, and there were sacks on the ground.

"Why didn't you keep a record?" Hao Yongchang asked.

The official said: "It was too late last night. After entering the warehouse, I planned to store it today. The villain was just about to arrange storage, and you came here, my lord."

"Open it." Hao Yongchang said.

The officials didn't know what was going on, so they squatted down and untied the sack.

The few officials behind Hao Yongchang were so nervous that they couldn't breathe, so they closed their eyes directly.
When the official opened the sack.

The white salt that bloomed in white appeared in sight.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Now, the officials who joined the Ministry of Salt in the back did not dare to open their eyes, and shrank their heads to be scolded.

However, the air has been quiet.

They were all nervous and could hear their own heartbeats.

After a long time, there was a sound of exclamation.

"My goodness."

The salt transport envoy Hao Yongchang squatted down, poked and licked the bag of salt, he was shocked.

He had never seen such good quality salt!
And the people below don't know.

But he knew that this batch of salt was used to practice Chinese medicine.

With this kind of high-quality salt, you don't need that much quantity at all.

It can be given to merchants at a high price to exchange for grain
There was ecstasy in his heart!
It seems that I am going to make a great contribution!
