Chapter 925 Getting Rich
Lin Dawang was anxious and felt itchy. How could he not see that Li Tieniu was calm and composed, and did not look anxious at all?
Their salt must be marketable, and it must be selling very well.
Otherwise, how could it be as stable as a rock? Who wouldn't be anxious to prepare money to pay taxes?
The more Li Tieniu acted like this, the more anxious he became and wanted to know what kind of business Li Tieniu and his people were doing.
Li Tieniu shook his head like a bulenggu and refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death.
How could I possibly tell Lin Dawang about this kind of business?
Lin Dawang is different from him. Although he is a loyal and righteous person, it is not impossible for him to see that Lin Dawang is different from them. This person has a lot of thoughts and of course is smarter than himself.
Once Lin Dawang knew about this, he would definitely pester Mr. Jiang to get a piece of the pie.
Lin Dawang is not as honest as Li Tieniu, and who knows what troubles may arise in the future.
Li Tieniu cannot bring trouble to Mr. Jiang.
He was the only one who knew that Jiang Xiaoxiao was a woman. If Lin Dawang knew that Young Master Jiang was a woman, he would definitely not be able to subdue Lin Dawang.
This person is very ambitious and you never know what he might do.
Even though Lin Dawang talked his mouth off, he still couldn't get the information he wanted. Instead, he was defeated by Li Tieniu with a simple move.
The two of them talked and laughed for a long time, but they didn't get any useful information from Li Tieniu.
When Lin Dawang returned, he sent people to secretly follow Li Tieniu and the others. He didn't believe what Li Tieniu and the others were up to, but he thought that as long as he was willing to investigate, he would be able to find clues.
Three days later the people he sent came back.
And they brought him back an exciting news. They followed Li Tieniu's carriage to the provincial capital. Li Tieniu was driving a horse-drawn carriage to the provincial capital to deliver goods to people.
There were five people delivering the goods along the way, and they looked very serious.
Heavily guarded.
They should have been delivering salt, because they were all packed in sacks. They began to not take salt seriously.
They have too.
We came back together, so I don’t know anyone’s background.
However, they were still cautious, mainly because they thought the salt was being given to the wealthy families in the city.
It is said that they are the Wu family, the most famous wealthy family in the city of Yanmen Pass.
Could the Wu family be the kind of people who would casually eat private salt like theirs?
How could he actually send the salt to the Wu family?
And it seems that the steward of the Wu family carefully collected the salt and told the servants to be careful when carrying it.
So precious?
Although the Wu family is not a salt merchant, they have many connections. It is said that they do business with the tribes on the grassland and have a huge business.
The people who followed were also smart and capable kids.
While people were not paying attention, he poked a hole in the sack and took out a handful of salt.
Take this handful of salt in your hand.
The child was so excited that he almost fainted.
Lin Dawang didn't know what the child was so excited about. He watched the child tremblingly take something out of his pocket and put it on the table.
He was also dumbfounded when he saw it.
It's actually snowflake salt.
Oh my god!
Li Tieniu, awesome!
I can actually get snowflake salt!
wrong!
He went to the salt field with Li Tieniu.
They are from the same salt field. Although the salt producer is different, this salt field does not produce snowflake salt.
This private salt field produces black salt for the common people to eat.
This kind of salt is bitter and astringent, but now I took a pinch of the snowflake salt in front of me and sipped it gently in my mouth.
It has a sweet and fragrant aftertaste, without any bitterness at all. This salt is definitely the kind of marbling salt sold in the city.
Although he had never tasted it, he could tell from the color, quality, and taste that it was definitely not of the same grade as the private salt they sold.
See this scene.
Lin Dawang immediately understood why Li Tieniu and his fellow villagers in Lijia Village were so quiet and everyone lived in peace. Of course, they didn't have to work hard.
If they were selling snowflake salt, they would sell it directly to wealthy families, such as the Wu family.
As for the salt that the Wu family needed, they naturally needed this snowflake salt to open up connections with those wealthy families.
This snowflake salt is not available everywhere. There is not much snowflake salt circulating in the market, and I have never heard of the price of ten taels of silver for a pound of snowflake salt.
Snowflake salt is catching up with the value of snowflake silver.
He still hasn't figured out where he got the salt from.
This time, he put the salt in a small cloth bag, put it in his pocket, took his people with him, and drove the carriage to Lijiazhuang again.
At this moment, Li Tieniu was excitedly giving an account to Jiang Xiaoxiao in her room.
All the snowflake salt they produced has now been sold out.
After all, they can sell it all at once to big households in the city, so why sell it piecemeal to individuals as before? Not only is the risk high, but it is also another question whether you can get the money.
They had never done business so smoothly before. They delivered the salt to the people in one go, and they received the silver in one go.
Li Tieniu's hands were shaking when he held those banknotes.
They had never seen so much silver before. They brought back a total of 2,500 kilograms of salt.
After filtering and screening, these 2,500 kilograms of salt were consumed, but there were still 2,200 kilograms of salt left.
These snowflake salts are worth more than 20,000 taels of silver. He has never seen so much silver in his life.
He placed all the banknotes in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao without losing a penny. He didn't feel that there was any ulterior motive at all, as all the money was earned by Jiang Xiaoxiao's contribution.
Otherwise, with their abilities.
Being able to earn back a hundred taels of silver now is already considered a skill.
Li Tieniu felt that he must have a firm belief, follow Miss Jiang and listen to what Miss Jiang said.
Miss Jiang is a capable person. See, she made more than 20,000 taels of silver just by reselling the item.
It's totally different from theirs, and Miss Jiang is very generous and magnanimous.
Didn't Miss Jiang tell him clearly last time that the money they earned would be shared equally with the villagers of Lijia Village?
Miss Jiang has treated them well, so they should naturally fulfill their duties.
This amount of money is enough to pay the taxes for the entire village, let alone for more people.
This year, not only can they use silver to offset taxes, but they can also use silver to offset the grain they collect and the taxes they pay.
That way, they would have plenty of food left to eat.
This year, the villagers can eat and drink enough and have a prosperous New Year.
The only thing that these ordinary people care about is to ensure that their families have enough food and clothing and live a stable life. They don't worry about anything else.
He never cared about who would be the emperor or who would rule the world. As long as he could make everyone live a good life, it didn't matter to him who was the emperor.
