Chapter 258 The Han Army established diplomatic relations with the Guo Mansion
"and many more!"
Guo Haoman saw Lin Lianjiang turning around and leaving without hesitation, and immediately stopped him.
When Lin Lianjiang heard this, he immediately turned around and respectfully replied: "Uncle Shi, do you still have something to tell your nephew?"
Guo Haoman raised his head and looked down at Lin Lianjiang, and immediately understood that this boy was playing hard to get.
But since he has already spoken, let him do as he wishes!
Just listen to Guo Hao Man said: "You are a arrogant boy. If you have nothing to do, you will not come to me. After all, what is the purpose of your trip? Is it food or weapons? Or something else?"
When Lin Lianjiang heard this, he waved his hands and said, "No, no, no!"
Then he took out a small bag of things from his arms, ran to Guo Haoman diligently, and said with a flattering smile:
"Uncle Shi, is this what my nephew is here for?"
Guo Haoman looked at Lin Lianjiang who changed his face, then looked at the small bag in his hand, and took it doubtfully.
He would not deliberately guard against this, so he opened it directly and saw the white crystals in the small package.
He was a little confused: "This is salt, good snow salt! Do you need salt?"
It’s not surprising that Guo Haoman was confused. In fact, the salt was not a problem at all for the location of the Han army!
Just listen to Lin Lianjiang explain: "Uncle Shi, it's not that we need salt, but that we want to do a private salt business!"
Guo Haoman was shocked when he heard this, "You don't want your life. Selling illegal salt is a serious crime of beheading!"
Seeing Guo Haoman's huge reaction, Lin Lianjiang spread his hands and said in confusion:
"Can the crime of selling smuggled salt be bigger than what I am doing now?"
Guo Haoman: "............"
Yes, this kid is going to rebel now. This is a serious crime that will kill all nine clans.
In this way, selling private salt is not a big deal!
Therefore, Guo Haoman was a little silent.
Now, as a general soldier, he was standing in front of a rebel.
What does he need to do?
Lin Lianjiang naturally didn't know the doubts in his heart, so he just listened to Lin Lianjiang say:
"Uncle Shi, what do you think of private salt of this quality?"
Guo Haoman looked at it and said: "The best snow salt is naturally extremely valuable!"
In response, Lin Lianjiang also nodded and said: "Although our salt is not as good as this kind of salt, the quality is far better than that on the market."
In fact, this is Lin Lianjiang's lie. In the territory, the output of this kind of snow salt is very high. It's just that the salt they need to sell is indeed just coarse salt.
Therefore, in response to Lin Lianjiang's words, Guo Haoman frowned and asked directly:
"Do you want to name the caravan under the name of my Guo Mansion?"
Lin Lianjiang waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this, "No, no, of course not. With what we have done, how can we bring Uncle Shi's family down with us!"
Now, Guo Haoman seemed to find it interesting, and then asked: "So what do you want to do?"
Lin Lianjiang solemnly said: "Cooperation!"
"Cooperation?"
Guo Haoman found it even more interesting, "How to cooperate? What can your Han army bring to the Guo family?"
"You have to understand that although the Guo family is powerful, it is only limited to Leizhou and its surroundings. The crime of selling illegal salt is difficult for us to risk beheading."
As Guo Haoman said, there is no emotion or friendship, it is all about interests.
family interests.
For this kind of thing, the station has already made plans, or it has been expected.
Just listen to Lin Lianjiang say: "Money and grain, selling private salt is very profitable, and there is a lot of money and grain that can be obtained. Now that the world is not peaceful, Lei Zhuo is competing with Bai Lian. The Guo family needs money and grain to form a private army, form a clan army, and get through Relationships. These all require money and food.”
"And private salt is the best way to make money quickly."
"Not to mention what Uncle Shi has done and how many victims his family has helped. Is the land enough now? Even if money and food can support it, how long can it support it?"
"Now, the Guo family can sustain itself. In addition to the Guo family's past savings, they also have a lot of business. I guess one of them is private salt."
Regarding what Lin Lianjiang said, Guo Haoman just smiled, then shook his head and said:
"My Guo family has never done anything illegal or disciplinary, and the talk of selfishness is nonsense."
"Besides, our Guo family is loyal to the imperial court and the emperor. How dare we have private soldiers? I'm going to say nonsense."
"As for helping the victims, it's just that our Guo family can't bear to see the suffering in the world and give some charity. Besides, these people were sold into our Guo family as slaves and maids, and that's just it. There has never been any violation of the imperial court."
Lin Lianjiang smiled at Guo Haoman's statement.
Changsha County produced a lot of illicit salt, which brought huge wealth to a certain prince in the Daqian court.
Although everyone in Changsha County who dared to do illegal salt work was liquidated by Duan Haoran. Either die or escape, but Duan Mansion is the only one.
However, no matter how powerful the prince was and how ruthless Duan Haoran's methods were, they were only limited to Changsha County and its surrounding counties.
For others, we still have to rely on many salt dealers or merchants.
And behind these salt dealers and merchants, many are local big families. In Leizhou Prefecture, as long as they have enough strength, they will participate in private salt matters.
Guo Mansion is naturally no exception.
After all, there is a lot of profit from private salt. In today's Leizhou, no one does not need a lot of money, food, weapons and armor to protect themselves.
Not to mention the distant ones, let’s just talk about the more than 100 soldiers around Guo Haoman, all of whom are wearing armor. One is worth ten, and one is worth hundreds.
So it is a joke to say that Guo Mansion does not sell private salt.
The so-called clan soldiers, if you search them in each mansion, they are just some powerful servants.
As for the legendary private soldiers, who doesn't have two militia groups in his hometown these days?
So being loyal to the court and the emperor is just fooling around!
The only difference between the Guo family and other families is that they care about the people. Although it can't be said that all the family wealth has been spent, it can be said that all the efforts have been spent.
After all, giving out porridge and food was done by the imperial court.
If your family or an individual does it, hehe...
Do you want to win over the people to rebel?
And it was only after Liu Wu and the others thought about this for a long time that they chose the Guo family as their partner.
Therefore, Lin Lianjiang was unmoved by Guo Haoman's statement. All of this was just because of the lack of money.
So Lin Lianjiang stretched out his hand and said:
"Five thousand rock salt per month."
Guo Haoman was stunned and said in a deep voice: "Do you have so many?"
Lin Lianjiang nodded: "Just a lot more!"
Guo Haoman took a breath and asked, "How to divide it?"
Lin Lianjiang said again: "15 taels of silver per stone!"
When Guo Haoman heard this, he immediately stood up and gasped, "Seriously?"
You must know that this is private salt, and the most expensive stone is worth 120 taels.
According to their method, the highest price per stone can be sold is 50 taels, and the lowest price is not less than 35 taels.
Five thousand shi, based on the minimum gross profit, is 10 taels of silver per month.
Even if you take out the communication, personnel expenses, etc., the profit will not be less than 5 taels at least.
This money is too much.
He can't help but be moved!
In response, Lin Lianjiang nodded and said resolutely: "Seriously!"
Not only that, Lin Lianjiang also added: "We can deliver the goods first, and then you pay."
Guo Haoman suddenly slapped the table.
"You did it! You are indeed my good nephew!"
These days, although there are constant wars.
But, Yinzi, that bastard, is still so good-looking.
