Chapter 284 Evidence of Destruction

Shi Yanei grinned and complained with a smile: "Isn't the Lianshui Army still unable to hold back..."

As he said that, Shi Yanei knocked on the teacup with chopsticks, put on a long-lasting look, and spoke in a storytelling tone: "That's right, at noon yesterday, a hundred people suddenly came out of the salt field..."

Shi said, "Tell me the point."

Shi Yanei glared and glanced: "This is the point... Cough cough, at noon yesterday, there were 100 people suddenly coming out of the salt field. This group of people was not from the county town. They went directly to the dock. At that time, there were 50 soldiers of the Lianshui Army, Donghai Society soldiers and - your disciple Ling Fei; there were six patrol boats of my Donghai Society soldiers in the sea.

I was not present at that time, but your apprentice Ling Fei first went up to check. These people said they wanted to go to the mainland to buy some daily necessities. After saying this, before the soldiers could speak, the commander of Lianshui Army, who was present, immediately interrupted and said: "Will you go to Haizhou City to buy things, you can't get so many people at once?"

The other party immediately replied: 'Today's holiday, so everyone made an appointment to get together...' The commander immediately replied: 'Why don't you have a holiday early or late? Let's have a holiday together today. I'll have so many people off at once. Are the rest of you still working?'

Someone may answer: ‘The boss was arrested and no one was in charge of the workshop, so everyone was on vacation.’ Someone said: ‘Why do you have to take care of the holiday?’ – This is a fight.”

Shi Yanei said this and picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea soup. Shi Chuan waited for a long time without waiting for the following text. He asked in anger: "What's next?"

Shi Yanei smacked his lips: "Next, it's over."

"Tsk—You were not present at the time and said it vividly. There were so many preparations in front of you, and then you took a sharp turn for the worse. It was really an unfinished project."

"Of course it's over - everyone sent by the Lianshui Army, they are all confidants of the military supervisor. They pretended to be our cooperative soldiers on the dock. What can the bare-handed Salt Ding do if you are not afraid of it? What's more, your apprentice Ling Fei, who is from a general, is a veteran of robbery. The most vicious fight is that there is no thunder in one hand. Where can the thunder gun be pointed at? The salt Ding has never seen the world. How dare you resist with thunder together?"

"What about the rest?"

"The rest - everyone has broken up. Lianshui Army is the first to attack the salt field. Your apprentice didn't say anything to me. He released a hundred thunder in the salt field in one go. My mother, all the key equipment of the salt field was blown up, and there was not even a flat salt pond left. I was thinking that the water wheels, windmills, and wheels that Old Man Fang pirated, could save me a lot of money. Now, it's all blown up, it's not over - everything is over."

Shi Chuan slapped his hands with his hands: "It should be like this. He set up a private salt field and formed a smuggling party - although Zhang Dayin endured us this time, the equipment was kept all the evidence, which destroyed all the evidence, and was just clean - Ling Fei was decisive in doing things, and he should be rewarded."

Shi Yanei was stunned for a moment, and picked up the tea bowl again in a daze, muttering: "It's a reward for sabotage. Although the equipment imitated by Fang Yuanwai cut corners and was not effective, I still want to repair it and use it as much as possible... The evidence of destruction is the same. According to you, my salt field will be hidden for a few days."

"It's - don't worry, this path cannot be stopped. I have prepared the manpower for you and selected a location. This time we will open a salt farm in Ryukyu, that is, Yizhou Island. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. We can open a salt farm even bigger. At that time, the transaction will be completely carried out at sea and more hidden."

Shi Yanei thought for a while: "Yizhou, where is the vast and sparsely populated place? My whaling fleet often goes there, but in this way, all salt productions have to be transported back from Yizhou Island, which is not both time and cost more money?"

"But it has an effect of scale. When it is large, your fleet can travel continuously to the Yizhou Strait. Think about it, whether it is the Lianshui Army, the Tongzhou Navy, or your whaling fleet, when you go out to patrol or return to the sea, you will carry one or two dozen ingredients of fine salt without knowing it. Isn't it less risky than now?"

"What should I do with my worker?" Shi Yanei looked depressed: "Where are there seven or eight hundred people in the salt field?"

"I have all the skilled workers, and my salary has tripled. I promised to work overseas for three years. I am willing to leave and stay with freedom. I can go back to the mainland. I am responsible for settling down. As for those unskilled craftsmen - the Huang family glass workshop is about to be completed, so you can renovate the dormitory of the salt farm and convert it into a glass workshop."

Shi Yanei immediately responded: "Okay, okay, it's long time to take action. I heard that at the beginning of this year, six or seven glass workshops appeared in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Although three of them were "buyed" by the imperial court, they also survived, which shows that the glass is profitable. If we can do it before the New Year and make a fortune during the Spring Festival, you should be careful.

Ahem, I said, the Huang family workshop also sells glass, and my family also sells it, there will be no conflict, right?”

Shi Chuan smiled, stared at Shi Yanei for a while, and suddenly asked, "How is your newlywed life?"

"Ah... OK OK, why do you ask this? By the way, you can't ignore Miss Chu's affairs. I haven't seen you move in the past half month. You promised me, I can't speak out..."

"Don't change the subject."

"Oh--" Shi Yanei sighed: "Isn't that the case still the same - the words of the matchmaker, for thousands of years, everyone has lived like this, and they have given birth to children and prolonged their offspring. What can I do?"

Shi Chuan smiled and said, "I think your marriage life is good too."

Yanei smiled bitterly: "My mother died since I was a child and I have been living with my sister and brother-in-law. If I hadn't had a happy and destiny character, I should have cried to death, suffocated to death, and I should have jumped into the river and committed suicide by hanging myself.

Everyone has a life. My life is based on the heaven, we can't fight with the heaven, right? The most important thing about living people is to know their own weight. For example, when you said you closed the salt field this time, although I was reluctant, I knew that my family could not fight to the death of me and Zhang Dayin, so even if I was reluctant, I would follow your words. From then on, private salt is not within my control, but it can be compensated for your glass industry. Oh, I heard that you gave the most profitable mirror making technology to the Huang family, so what can I leave?"

Shi Chuan laughed: "People say that Shi Yanei is generous and never cares about small money. Now it seems that people who say this are pigs. Shi Yanei always pretends to be a pig and eats an elephant.

As for silver mirrors, it seems to have high profits, but in fact, when making them, you must first use silver salt and uranaldehyde. These raw materials are not cheap, and the more profits are, the more red-eyed people, you and I are just small businessmen. If you want to monopolize this industry, you and I don’t know how to die. Only the first tea merchant in Haizhou, the Huang family protected by Tanhua Huang Yu, dare to enter this industry - so I only invest in dividends and never do it myself.

As for you, I will tell you the technique of making stained glass. We only make various utensils and follow the jewelry route. How can jewelry be sold cheaply? Just look at the current official glass gold bottles.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that after the extermination of Fang Yuanwai, I planned to open a training workshop, and glass was also produced in the workshop. However, my glass goes offline to civilians. Don’t worry, the glass market is huge, and hundreds of glass workshops can’t meet the needs of this world.”

"That's good, that's good--" Shi Yanei asked immediately: "In this way, how good are you to ask for people? To be honest, if you say this, I feel uneasy about the salt field. I wish you could leave them soon."

Shi Chuan thought for a while and said, "You set off tonight and immediately blow up the salt farm equipment and transfer the salt farm workers. Tomorrow, no, I will send someone to contact you the next day. The person sent is lame and blind. You hand over the person to her and prepare two boats for him... I don't have to worry about the rest."

Shi Yanei stood up lazily: "I'm just a busy life. You tell me, which official is as diligent as me. I just wiped out the bandits, and some traveled home overnight... Well, I tell you, there are 240 households in the salt field, with 861 people, and only two people escaped. Among the two people who escaped, one of them was the manager of the salt field. They were originally from Yuzhou. Because the terrain is mature and water-like, we neglected him to jump from the dock and searched for no trace. I suspect that the guy had swam across the strait and landed. Maybe he could arrive in Cuizhuang in these two days."

"Who is the other escapee?"

"It's probably the coach in the field who is skilled in martial arts and has rushed away the obstacles of the five of us. But before he threw himself into the sea, your apprentice Ling Fei shot a gun. Your apprentice said he couldn't do anything, but we have not found his body yet."

Shi Chuan suddenly felt a biting cold, and he slowly asked, "Is it important to have another escaped person?"

Shi Yanei replied happily: "It's just a doll. I heard that he is only nineteen years old this year. Oh, you might know this guy too. I heard that his grandfather sold gems in Donghai County and bought them for three consecutive years. Because the price was too high, it was rumored that this batch of gems was later wrapped by a fool from another place... Haha, I heard that his grandfather's bag of gems was bought by you."

"I know this person," Shi Chuan said with a gloomy face: "His name is Xiao Shitou. Later, after his grandfather died, he followed Fang Juren as a follower. At that time, I bought his bag of gems at the normal price, even a little higher than the normal price - his grandfather's bag of stones has been sold for many years but has not sold it. It was supposed to be lowered.

I was thinking of giving money to his grandfather for his illness because of doing good deeds. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shitou was instilled by his grandfather since he was a child, saying that the stones in his hand were priceless, so he felt that the price he sold to me was too cheap and thought that I was taking advantage of others' danger. Later, we met in Cuizhuang. When I saw that the guy's eyes were full of hatred.

Haha, it turns out that he has been staying in the salt field. Since we met Cuizhuang, I was still worried that this kid would lose his eyes by hatred. Maybe he could not attack me and would turn to the girl beside me. I was wary of it for a while, and then I saw that there was no trace of this person, and gradually forgot this person. If you hadn't mentioned it this time, I wouldn't have remembered this person."
