Unlimited Supplies: Take the Space Supermarket To Support the Right Minister Chapter 514

  Chapter 514 Lianghuai salt transportation envoy

  Fu Qionglin's mention of Su Jingchen relieved Jun Tingye's urgent need.

If Fu Qionglin hadn't mentioned it, Jun Tingye would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as Su Jingchen. There is no way, the northern border is too remote, and the Hu country is almost destroyed. There is no war in the northern border, and taxes are paid on time every year without delay. The memorials that come up are also memorials for the better changes in the northern border.

   All in all, Su Jingchen managed Linzhou very well, and the emperor didn't need to worry about it. Therefore, the emperor's deepest memories are those other states that made him burnt out.

  Jun Tingye made a decision here, and two months later, Su Jingchen, who was far away in the north, received the imperial edict.

   No need to go back to Beijing, just go directly to Yangzhou, Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department is in a mess now, just waiting for Su Jingchen to take charge of the overall situation.

  Yu Xiaolian wailed, "It's winter, they have to rush to Yangzhou, old emperor, can you do something good?"

   Complaints are complaints, but they dare not resist the edict. They pack up their belongings, bring the original servants of the Su family and the servants newly added in recent years, and set off.

  Going against the wind and snow, although Yu Xiaolian's carriage has been specially thickened and sealed, it still can't stop the pervasive chill.

   Fortunately, Yu Xiaolian has a cheating tool. From time to time, she will change to a warm baby that is fully charged, and then take out the duvet and wrap it around her body.

   On the way, Su Yuntong's child was hungry, so Yu Xiaolian simply carried the child into the space. Anyway, the grass roots would not open the door of the carriage without her order.

   Entering the space, feeling the comfortable temperature, Yu Xiaolian sighed comfortably.

  Before departure, Su Jinghua wanted to share a carriage with her, but she refused, and the servant girl wanted to share a carriage with her to help her take care of the children, but she also refused.

   Now it seems that it is right to reject them, and it is better to be in the space, not cold.

  Since the upgrade of Yu Xiaolian's space, she can hear voices within a few meters outside, so she is not afraid of someone suddenly looking for her.

   After feeding the baby, the baby quickly fell asleep again.

  Yu Xiaolian also lay down next to the child and slept comfortably.

   It wasn't until Su Jingchen called her from outside the car at the post station that Yu Xiaolian carried the child out of the space.

  No way, it's too cold, it's an official station, they all have to stop to warm up and refresh.

  Although maids and mothers-in-law also ride in carriages, the outdoor time is too long, and the carriage drivers can't stand the cold.

   If they could get to Bohai City in four or five days, it took them twelve days.

  As soon as Su Jingchen moved into the post station in Bohai City, the County Magistrate Liu of Bohai City immediately paid him a visit.

  No way, Su Jingchen used to be the county magistrate of Yangcheng, they were at the same level.

  Later, Su Jingchen became the magistrate of Linzhou. He was a fourth-rank man, and he was his superior.

  Now Su Jingchen is the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy, a third-rank official, and a fat job, can he not come to see him?

Even though he was threatened by Su Jingchen and sent three years of salt and sea goods to Linzhou, magistrate Liu always hated Su Jingchen, but he also had Su Jingchen's help from the county magistrate to the county magistrate, and they also It is mutual assistance and mutual benefit.

   County magistrate Liu invited Su Jingchen's family to have a big meal across the house. Then he ordered the wharf to leave a separate floor for Su Jingchen on the big ship, and even their horses and carriages were boarded.

  Yu Xiaolian has traveled back and forth from Bohai City to Luzhou several times, but this is the first time she has enjoyed such a 'chartered boat' treatment.

   It's better to be a high-ranking official, because there are people who hold it everywhere.

  It takes two days from Bohai City to Luzhou. Yu Xiaolian and his group lived on the third floor of the big ship, and the horses and carriages were placed on the first floor.

"Xiao Lian, when I first set out, I was still worried about Tongtong. I didn't expect this child to be so skinny. I was sick from the cold, but she was fine. Her little face is still so white and tender!" After dry food for dinner, Gao Shi came over to Yu Xiaolian's room to watch the children.

  Yu Xiaolian saw her getting closer, so she simply stopped her, "Fifth Aunt, you have a cold, so don't wander around, go back to your room and lie down to rest!"

  You have a cold, don't come here!

   What if I and my daughter are infected?

  Gao smirked, "I forgot, wind and cold are contagious, so I'm leaving now!

  Xiao Lian, you have to take good care of the children. Man Yue and Jin Hua are also feeling uncomfortable, and their noses are starting to runny! "

  Yu Xiaolian frowned, "Didn't you ask Sha Langzhong to show them?"

  Sha Langzhong is a family doctor added to their family last year. The idea is that it is convenient to use and is on call.

   "Look, look, the soup is also being boiled in the ship's galley, and I think we can drink it in a while." Gao said as he retreated.

"That's good, let Fangcao make some **** soup for everyone, drink two bowls for each person, warm up your body, and when the boat docks, Luzhou will be much warmer." Yu Xiaolian said, Close the door.

   It's not that she's unreasonable, it's that her daughter is too young, if she catches a cold, she'll be so heartbroken.

  Su Jingchen didn't share a room with Yu Xiaolian.

  When the imperial decree came, it also came with a large pile of files. Now that Su Jingchen has time, he has to read these files to get familiar with the Lianghuai Saltworks.

   If you want to say that the two Huai salt transport envoys are really fat, although they are only third rank, but even the first rank is not as good as him.

  The last salt transport envoy served for 20 years, and was about to retire, but was reported for corruption, ransacked his home and executed him.

   In fact, it can't be blamed on the person who reported it, but on Mr. Yin, the salt envoy, who is too greedy.

  Daliang has extremely strict control over the salt industry. All salt production bases in the country are state-owned (monopoly operation), and all salt merchants have to subscribe for salt with a ticket and sell it.

That is to say, under the condition of strictly monopolizing the production of salt, the imperial court invented a subscription ticket (Yanyin, each ticket can buy 400 catties of salt). Only by holding it can merchants buy salt in the salt production area and make profits. , and the salt administration controls the salt merchants by controlling the circulation of salt quotations.

  Then, under the monopoly of the producing area (source of goods), Yanyin has become a rare commodity that can be lived in, and each salt official distributes Yanyin according to the amount of "filial piety" (kickback) of salt merchants.

   This has almost become a 'hidden rule' that everyone knows well, and it's nothing unusual.

  But the previous salt transport envoy, Mr. Yin, was greedy. He not only used the increase in the population of the country as an excuse to report to the court to increase the annual amount of salt triggers (increase his own corruption chips).

   Even in the last year of his retirement, he creatively started "futures trading" (pre-sale of the next year's index.) just to make a last fortune before retirement.

   It was none other than Master Yin who reported him, but Master You, the next salt envoy who took over his errand.

  Master You spent too much contribution in order to get the lucrative position of the Salt Administration. He managed all parties and was eager to make up for the shortfall as soon as he took office.

  He, like Mr. Yin, is greedy and eager for money.

  Master You, after first taking office, did not show the slightest bit of reserve or shyness. Knowing that Yan Yin, who was in his first year of office, had been sold out in advance by Mr. Yin, the former salt administrator, he openly asked for bribes from various salt merchants.

   Openly asking for bribes, this is obviously breaking the unspoken rules!

  The unspoken rules of government and business for more than 20 years, how can someone spoil the situation?

   In addition, these salt merchants have already obtained the new year's salt quotation from Mr. Yin. Therefore, the "overbearing" salt merchants did not buy Master You's direct extortion of bribes.

   They asked for bribes openly, so it can be seen that Mr. You has no bottom line when doing things.

  Since the salt merchants "don't give him food to eat", he is about to smash the pot.

  Thus, Lord You decided not to do anything, but to continue, and simply ordered this firecracker, so there was the secret letter in the Junting Yelong case.

  Of course, Mr. You just wants to smash the pot. He didn't want to involve himself in it, so he handed over this secret letter anonymously in a shady way.

  Jun Tingye knew that someone had touched his cake, so he was so angry that he was going to die, but whoever put this letter on his table without anyone noticing, he also wanted to know.

In the whole world, could it be the land of the king? Ever since Jun Tingye ascended the throne, apart from strictly guarding the princes, no one is allowed to approach his study. Therefore, he can put this letter on his desk without anyone noticing it. Yes, it was either the cleaning lady or the **** who was accompanying him. Jun Tingye managed to drag out the person surnamed You with almost no effort.

  After some investigation, I learned that the surname You had openly asked for bribes as soon as he took office, and he was even more angry.

   Clean it up, clean it up!

  Cleaning up from top to bottom, from inside to outside, Jun Tingye was so angry that he killed and exiled nearly a thousand people.

  Although there was no one available for the time being, looking at the treasury that had suddenly filled up, Jun Tingye still felt that it was worth killing.

  No one has anything to be afraid of, take the exam, take the exam right away, don't wait three years, take the exam next spring.

  Su Jingchen flipped through the files for half a month before he memorized all these materials by heart.

  Only in this way, when he goes to Yangzhou, he will not be in a hurry and can deal with it calmly.

   Arriving in Luzhou, the group of them finally left the cold northern land. The further south they went, the warmer the climate became.

   It can be said that they went from minus thirty degrees to minus five or six degrees.

  Yu Xiaolian and Gao Shi separated in Luzhou, Yu Xiaolian and the others went to Yangzhou, Gao Shi, Sun Erji, and Sun Manhong went to Yuzhou, not in the same direction.

  Sun Manyue insisted on staying with Yu Xiaolian, but Yu Xiaolian's persuasion was ineffective, so she let her go.

   After they separated, Yu Xiaolian and the others walked for nearly a month before reaching Yangzhou.

It was just about to enter the city, but the carriage was on a mountain road, blocked by a landslide, the carriage stopped, and the voices of the local people came from outside, "It was fine a few days ago, and there was no rain. , How can this mountain collapse when it collapses?"

  Yu Xiaolian lifted the curtain and looked, only to see that the mud on both sides of the official road in front collapsed, sealing the official road.

   "My lord, ma'am, this road is blocked, shall we walk around the mountain, or call someone to clean up the mud before we go?" He Jian came over and asked.
