Four Southern Song Dynasty can't do it, then I'll try it(1/2)
The next day, just as the sky was dawn, Su Yonglin and Su Yong stood up and prepared to return.
When he went down to the first floor, Su Yonglin handed the travel business certificate issued by the Dinghai County government to the shopkeeper, and explained the place where he went, and the shopkeeper began to make detailed records.
[Qingyuan Prefecture Dinghai County businessman Su Yonglin and Su Yong were two men. He lived in Jiazi for two nights. He went from Dinghai County to Lin'an early on the seventh day of the March, left the store early on the nineth day of the March, and returned to Dinghai County from Lin'an]
All information about staying in a hotel must be registered for inspection by the government at any time.
After the record was completed, the shopkeeper settled the room for Su Yonglin, and this pleasant hotel trip ended here.
"The guest official will come to Lin'an next time, and the shop will be cleaned and waited."
The shopkeeper saluted respectfully and sent the two to leave the hotel.
After leaving the hotel, the two went straight to the city gate. At this time, the Lin'an city gate had opened. They passed the inspection of the city gate guards, which was better than the ones, and successfully left Lin'an City.
After leaving the city gate and heading east, the two entered a forest and walked in the forest for a while. Su Yong whistled, and soon, three men appeared in front of Su Yonglin.
One of them is Su Changsheng, who was in charge of the operation yesterday.
The three of them knelt on one knee in front of Su Yonglin.
"Alang."
Su Yonglin nodded with a serious expression.
"Yeah, go immediately."
"Here!"
There was a donkey cart prepared in the forest. Su Haisheng and Su Jue, who were responsible for picking up the car, were about to go to the port to transfer to the boat. Su Changsheng, Su Yonglin and Su Yong entered the car together.
"Alang, when I left in the morning, there was no news in the store. I guess Sun Yuanqi's affairs had not been discovered yet."
Su Changsheng whispered.
Su Yonglin nodded and said nothing, but Su Yong had some questions.
"That medicine really works? Can it make people die? I think Alang didn't react yesterday."
"Alang took very little! Even the best medicine is needed to take a certain dose to be useful. Even if it is arsenic, you can take a little bit of it. At most, your stomach hurts, and you won't die immediately.
Sun Yuanqi ate a lot of dog thief, and the ingredients are all meat and other things, so the effect is even better. He is old and obese. If he is a strong man, he may still be able to survive. With his obsessive body, he will die forever. Even if he is lucky, he will be useless. Life is worse than death."
Su Changsheng looked at Su Yong with disgust: "You are really a reckless man. Apart from being strong and daring to fight, what are your strengths?"
"Hey! You guy want to fight, don't you?"
Su Yong glared at his cow's eyes, full of intimidation, like a big Tibetan mastiff with hair exploding.
Su Changsheng looked disdainful and very calm.
"If you can't use it here, it's important to rush. When you go back, let's practice hard after you go back."
"Okay, you said!"
Su Yong looked unhappy.
Su Yonglin smiled and shook her head, and said nothing.
About half an hour, a group of five arrived at the port and found the Su family ship that had been ready to be picked up. After getting on the ship, the ship set sail immediately and headed for Dinghai County.
Standing at the stern of the boat, Su Yonglin looked at Lin'an City for the last time.
This time I leave, I should be a farewell forever, and the possibility of coming back again is slim.
Su Yonglin will take everything he has accumulated to the Jin Dynasty to Shandong, join forces with the local tycoon Zhao Kaishan, raise an uprising in order to overthrow the Jin Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains, regain the Central Plains, and achieve his goals.
Of course it is difficult, it will last forever, but doing so will make him feel better and not so uncomfortable.
He felt very uncomfortable living in the Southern Song Dynasty.
He was particularly uncomfortable living in the Southern Song Dynasty that was vain to the Jin Kingdom.
There is a saying that goes well.
If you have some talent and work hard for three or five years, you should have some signs of success.
He always gave Qin Hui a pot. Qin Hui was indeed a treacherous slander who could not be washed away, but now it has been 28 years since Shaoxing, and Qin Hui has been dead for three years. The Southern Song Dynasty is still the Southern Song Dynasty, and there is no hope of turning back to the Northern Song Dynasty.
What else can I say?
Of course there was no hope in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Su Yonglin didn't want to be a romantic talent to pass the exam, nor did he want to be famous in history with a group of patriotic poets such as Lu You, Fan Chengda, Yang Wanli, etc., and be the ministers of the warlords for life, and then be admired by future generations.
That's ironic.
Because from beginning to end, they couldn't change anything.
I wrote thousands of poems and tears flowed thousands of times, and the Southern Song Dynasty was still the Southern Song Dynasty.
No matter how much we take the initiative to fight, how persist, and how patriotic they are, the Southern Song Dynasty is still the Southern Song Dynasty.
It never changed back to the Northern Song Dynasty.
Su Yonglin knew the ending of the Southern Song Dynasty after he gave up, so he wanted to fight and wanted to use his life to fight for a future with a slim future.
This era no longer requires another patriotic poet who is heartbroken and loudly shouts.
What it needs is an extra warrior who is willing to carry a three-foot sword and die in the Central Plains.
If the Southern Song Dynasty cannot do it, I will give it a try.
Of course, Su Yonglin was not the iron-headed kid who had to go to the Central Plains to give his head alone when he was in a state of rushing to the heart of the country.
He had this idea, of course because he had the basis to do this - Su Yonglin was the head of a private salt gang and had a considerable power.
He is in charge of more than 300 well-trained full-time core members, as well as thousands of peripheral part-time members as arm supporters, and more than 30 small and medium-sized warships that are seemingly merchant ships but can arm themselves at any time to fight against competitors.
This is naturally not the wealth he saved.
In fact, starting from his grandfather Su Dingguang, the Su family has been engaged in the business of selling private salt for three consecutive generations, and this family business was also accumulated by his grandfather Su Dingguang.
Su Yonglin's grandfather Su Dingguang is not a master of the sky.
He is a private salt dealer who is an official on the surface and secretly uses his power to sell private salt and profit from it.
Killing people, robbing goods, and merging other private salt gangs by force, have done everything, and can be called ruthless and have set up a large-scale private salt sales group.
Of course, he wasn't like this from the beginning.
The Su family was from the northern family. They were originally from Shandong. During the Jingkang crisis, Su Dingguang, who was fashionable and young, was unwilling to be a slave to the Jin people, so he resolutely crossed south and moved to Dinghai County.
At the beginning of the southern transition, Su Dingguang still had the ideal of the Northern Expedition. He was really unwilling to be humiliated. He really wanted to fight the Northern Expedition and spoke out loudly and actively participated in the great cause of the Northern Expedition.
He once did logistics support for Yue Fei's Northern Expedition. He even participated in the battle to defend the city once, killing three Jin soldiers with his own hands, working hard and looking forward to the success of the Northern Expedition.
In the 12th year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei died unjustly. The peacemakers presided over the government affairs, actively discussed peace talks, and vigorously excluded the war-torn officials. The great cause of the Northern Expedition has since become a terrible.
As the most determined pro-war faction, Su Dingguang was naturally transferred from the front line of the war. After a while of operation, he became a thorough civil servant who did not participate in the military.
After the ideal was shattered, Su Dingguang saw that the fallen leaves had become a luxury, and was in great pain, and he fell into depression for a while.
As for how he embarked on the road of selling private salt and how he completed this mental journey, Su Yonglin didn't know.
Su Yonglin only knew that this kind of selling private salt was not a rare thing in the entire local officialdom of the Southern Song Dynasty. He secretly manipulated private salt sales gangs to create private salt, and there were also many officials who made profits from selling private salt.
Almost all officials with some power will buy low-priced and affordable private salt in private, and will not buy expensive and low-quality official salt.
Su Dingguang is just one of them.
Dinghai County is located by the sea and has the benefits of sea salt. Su Dingguang used his power to provide shelter to the first group of Dinghai County residents who sold private salt, which gave them convenience, and charged huge benefits.
In the Song Dynasty, the salt tax was extremely heavy. After the southbound transition, the salt tax was even heavier. Almost 90% of the price of a pound of salt was taxed.
The common people suffer from the poor quality of official salt, which is damp, yellowed, bitter and uneasy, and even use half a pound as a pound, and sometimes it is out of stock and cannot be supplied.
Even if the quality is poor, the price is also expensive. In the early Shaoxing period, the price of salt even soared to a one-man to two-man coins.
The cost of salt making is about fifteen cents per month, and the selling price can reach between one hundred and two hundred cents. There are also higher, amazing profits, and the people are suffering from trouble.
Private salt is white in color, has high purity and is not bitter. In order to gain market, it is often sold for one and a half pounds, and the price is generally more than twice as cheap as official salt.
So the market is extremely large.
If there is a market, there are brave men. A large number of "courageous and knowledgeable" private salt dealers organized to sell private salt with armed forces. The more coastal it is and the farther away from Lin'an, the more rampant private salt sales are.
Su Dingguang seized the business opportunities and gradually became no longer satisfied as a protective umbrella. So he took action to kill the original leader, acted as a new leader, and personally integrated a private salt sales gang to obtain high profits and make a lot of money.
He is also very conscious of crisis risks and knows how to deal with others after making money, not just by force.
He clearly managed the relevant government organizations in Qingyuan Prefecture and Dinghai County, local tea and salt departments and central gold departments.
Local officials are actually unwilling to go against armed private salt dealers. Private salt dealers are really cruel. The officials are really going to take action. They play some gloomy private methods, and the local officials' families are not protected.
Regardless of the officials, the private salt dealers will not disturb social security too much and be in peace. Therefore, when they leave Lin'an, local officials are basically unwilling to get involved in matters related to the private salt dealers.
So based on Dinghai County, Qingyuan Prefecture, he even made his private salt business outside Qingyuan Prefecture, heading south to compete with other private salt dealers for the market.
In order to compete for the market, he raised thugs, organized armed forces, possessed armies privately, and armed his thugs group with military knowledge and logistics knowledge learned from Yue Fei's Northern Expedition.
Not only on land, but more on sea.
He used the money he earned to build ships, bought ships, and founded a business in the name of relatives and friends, and found someone to make white gloves to build a merchant fleet in a legitimate name.
