Yanzhou is a special place. It has a lot of saline-alkali land and several large salt fields. Although the output is not as large as that of other places, there is still some salt digested in Yanzhou.
The best salt is basically consumed in Yanzhou, and very little of Yanzhou's salt is bought elsewhere.
"We do have permission from the Salt and Iron Office, but Yanzhou's production is not large to begin with, so it's basically all in the hands of the government."

"Besides, even if we come to Youzhou, we still face a huge problem. There is no good refined salt at all. If we can find some, the price is ridiculously high."
"And the best white salt is hard to find, even with silver."
