Chapter 43 Plan

"Old master?" Or Yun Tianzong, the old salt owl, is clever: "Is it a matter of checking to sell private salt? This is a good idea!"

Huo Qiu also agreed repeatedly: "Although we used to sell salt just for small sales, we had a lot of relationships. Now, we open a salt shop in Panshi Town, and the business will definitely not be bad."

In the Qing Dynasty, salt was implemented in a monopoly system, and the salt price was always high. Although the warm place was located on the southeast coast, the salt price was extremely high. Farmers often lamented that they could not afford salt, so salt owls such as Huo Qiu came into being.

Yun Tianzong came up with another idea: "You can trade salt with Niang Ye. Niang Ye catches several boats a day, but because there is no fishing salt, she can only throw it to us at a low price."

There were not as many fishing methods in this era as modern times. Even in the offshore, fishing resources were particularly abundant. Not only did Ye Niangzi's fleet fished on his own in Ouhaikou, but also collected a large number of fishing catches as protection fees.

However, the consumption capacity of the entire Panshi Town is very limited, and there are not as many preservation methods as descendants in this era. As a result, even if Niang Ye sold a large number of fishing catches to Liu Chang at a low price, a considerable number of fishing catches were still poured into the sea.

To deal with these catches, a large amount of fishing salt must be obtained. Around 1,000 kilograms of fishing salt must be treated with 150 kilograms of fishing salt. Niang Ye could not find so much fishing salt at all.

"Since you have money, you should work hard!" Qu Jie was quite moved when he thought of the profits in it: "Check it out, should we also get one or two fishing boats?"

Yun Tianzong expressed his objection: "There is no need to compete with Ge Wuye for this piece of meat, and if they were not for their uniqueness now, fishing would be the same. As long as they keep this land, there would be no business to do."

Although the fishery resources in this era are rich, they only need to be managed in all aspects. If Liu Chang had not had such a land in Panshi Town, no matter how many fishing catches Ge Wuye would have, he would have only worked for those fishing tyrants and salt tyrants, and then he was fed by the county magistrate, the history and the library in the county government, and finally fell into the hands of Ge Wuye, which would have only a few hard money.

But now Ge Wuye himself is the biggest fisherman in the entire Oujiang River. He can also collect a large amount of fishing catches from others, without having to be scrapped by officials of all sizes of the county, let alone pay various taxes and fees. Therefore, he is full of joy every day.

After he said this in detail, Liu Chang immediately understood: "Since this is the case, after the New Year, we will arrest the salt sales, and..."

He lowered his voice: "We can't be limited to a small place like Panshi Town. One of the Dragon Gun Shou and Nanxi Shou stayed in the village to practice, and the other one was to be pulled out to receive practical drills..."

This is a nice word. In a blunt way, it is to take it out to raise funds and grain, so he also said: "We can cooperate well with Ge Wuye in this regard."

...

At the end of this year, the Wenchudaotai Yamen seemed particularly uninteresting in the New Year, and there was a sense of war everywhere. Green camp soldiers were guarding the yamen inside and outside.

Although Qinglian, the Zhejiang Salt Transport Author, did not have the official position of Wen Chudao, he was not only a first-class official in the province, but also served as Wen Chudaotai for more than ten years. He was in charge of the suppression of the Red Thief of Jiangbei, which can be said to be suitable for both people and land.

However, this Lord Qinglian did not have the usual calmness, but instead asked Zhang Chengdushi, the city guard camp kneeling below, who was kneeling below: "Is Deputy General Chi really not in the enemy's formation? Haven't he been held by the enemy?"

Zhang Cheng finally escaped back to the city. Now he is in a mess. His official robe is ragged and he even lost his shoes. Before entering the city, he rolled in the mud, which is particularly loyal and brave: "The little official saw it clearly. At that time, the thirty bandits came to Chi Xie Town. There were only a few personal soldiers around Chi Xie Town, so he could only go into battle personally. Unfortunately, they were killed by the bandits."

Qinglian set the tone first: "You think you've read it wrong. Three thousand bandits came to attack Deputy General Chi. Deputy General Assistant led the team to kill the thieves, and dozens of bandits were killed with bare hands. Finally, they were killed by the bandits. This time, Deputy General Chi led 500 Green Camp troops across the river and headed north. He wanted to recover Lecheng in one fell swoop, but accidentally encountered seven or eight thousand red bandits in Nanxi River. Although our soldiers were brave, they were ultimately defeated ten times the enemy, resulting in defeat."

Zhang Dusi immediately reiterated according to Lord Qinglian's tone: "My Lord said very much. Even if my soldiers were defeated in this battle, they still had a glory. They fought with 500 people for a day and a night, killing no less than three or four thousand thieves."

He has been very good at playing this trick. Anyway, the village hero is not a human being. Once defeated, he must not be included in the troops in battle. The strength of the Green Camp soldiers is not easy to shrink, so they can only reduce one hundred first and then make up for it from other aspects.

Wen Chudao and Yu Shufeng next to him spoke up and compiled the story for Qinglian: "Zhang Dusi, you led your troops out of the siege. How many people are there now?"

Zhang Dusi immediately understood: "There are still hundreds of soldiers and brave men."

Although there were only 20 or 30 Green Camp soldiers who actually retreated to the city of Fucheng, the first thing they had to do was to turn this great defeat into a great victory. However, Qinglian was very dissatisfied with the result of losing 400 people in one battle: "Have you heard that Jiangbei still had the remaining troops of Deputy General Chi?"

"According to the retreating soldiers, there are still more than a hundred soldiers in Jiangbei that have not been sheltered yet, so the young official is willing to risk his life to shelter."

The entire war was concluded. This was not a great defeat for the 600 Green Camp soldiers and 100 Township Warriors to be wiped out, but a small defeat of 500 Green Camps, which was about half of the damage and nearly half of the remaining damage, and the Red Trouble suffered even greater defeat.

But although the story was compiled, the officials present looked bad. Qing Lian raised his hand and Zhang Dusi tactfully retreated. Wen Chutai and Yu Shufeng's face turned pale: "This is the first time I have seen such a brave thief in my career for decades."

Ye Bingzhong, the general general of Wenzhou Town, was also in lingering fears: "It's not just the word "savage" and such a thief has never heard of. He first defeated Yueqing County. Now, even Deputy General Chi took 500 soldiers to fight the bandits and suffered more than half of them. This is difficult to deal with!"

The strategy used by these officials now is Qinglian’s proposal to raise brave men and ask for money and soldiers. Although the whole country has already put it into peace, no one dares to be too careless about the Red Turban Army, which is related to their political life.

Qinglian was about to speak, but someone came quickly outside, and then someone shouted: "There is an emergency military information from Yunsi, Daotai, Zhentai, Mansion, and Yongjia County!"

As soon as he heard this, everyone present looked even more ugly, but a village brave leader ran in sweat: "I have seen you all, the villain has discovered that Panshi Village was attacked by thousands of red scarf thieves, and no soldiers in the village have survived!"

"Please send troops to recover Panshi Village as soon as possible, otherwise Jiangbei will be full of thieves!"

Upon hearing this news, Qinglian waved his hand weakly: "Arranging this warrior's good life, we will first discuss a way to recover Panshi Village."

"Panshi Camp was captured and destroyed again..." Qing Lian directly complained to General Ye of Wenzhou Town: "The entire army of Yueqing Association has been lost. If this responsibility is pursued, you will have the greatest responsibility in the town. You have to find a way to deal with it."

General Ye could only seek help from Daotai and Futai: "Yunshu, I am just an acting official. This is all the fault of my ex and has nothing to do with me. Daotai, Futai, how do you think about this matter after it?"

"How to deal with the aftermath?" Qing Lian had only one way: "The entire Yueqing Association was destroyed, and this matter was inevitable. I was the Manchu Blue Banner and I made a lot of money. At most, I would go home and be an Anleweng. But you are a Han Chinese. If you want to save this master's title, you have to make some military achievements!"

He lowered his voice: "At least we have to take back Panshi Village!"
