Chapter 124 Salt entry

Cui Che invited him to have a meal, and Zhao Yuanshu was naturally very willing, but it was slightly different from what she imagined.

There are no silk and bamboo orchestras, no singers and dancers, and no fine wine and food.

There was only millet rice, vegetable leaves, and scattered minced meat in the bowl. Zhao Yuanshu watched Cui Che sitting casually on the edge of the field, eating the simple rice with gusto, and finally moved her chopsticks.

During Cui Che's inspection of the beach fields, he worked and ate together with the salt workers. He couldn't always use excuses to throw bowls in anger and secretly turn on small stoves.

Cui Che also provided lunch for the salt workers. The imperial court was not so considerate and could take care of two meals a day, even because of the generous salt profits.

Cui Che had the confidence to provide lunch for 10,000 salt workers because he and Wei Yi privately opened beach fields.

The private salt business is not on the right track yet, and there is no return. Even the entourage who went overseas to contact the buyer has no news yet.

But this is all a matter of time. The general manager of Qingzhou and the governor of Jiaozhou work together. If they cannot even establish a platform for private salt trading in this three-acre land, it will really be an embarrassment to the powerful.

After lunch, Cui Che did not go to the fields again.

"Instead of being confused in Hebei, it is better to stay in Qingzhou and help me."

Cui Che said straightforwardly.

Since Zhao Yuanshu came to Qingzhou, she naturally wanted to find a position in Cui Che's shogunate, and wanted to make a career and show off to those who looked down upon her when she was down.

But he still couldn't help but be confused and asked:

"Zhao and Mr. Cui have never known each other. Why did Mr. Cui send someone to summon him? Could it be that my father has an old relationship with Mr. Cui?"

"My father and I were officials in the same dynasty. We met a few times when we were in Guanzhong, but we had no friendship."

Cui Che shook his head and said.

If he didn't explain the reason, it was impossible for Zhao Yuanshu to pursue the question. The gap in status between the two was obvious.

Cui Che stared at Zhao Yuanshu, waiting for his answer.

Zhao Yuanshu no longer thought about it and bowed to the ground:

"Meng Cui Gong will not give up, Yuan Shu is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."

"No need to be polite."

Cui Che helped Zhao Yuanshu up and recruited him on the spot as Tian Cao, the general manager of Qingzhou to join the army.

Brother Che's conquest of Zhao Yuanshu has nothing to do with his father. Although Zhao Shimo surrendered, he would somehow gain Yang Jian's trust and take charge of the guard in the future, but Cui Che did not have Zhao Shimo's idea. He went there for Zhao Yuanshu himself.

.

Cui Che was born in an embarrassing era. Those familiar names were either already in high official positions, or they were still children, such as Fang Xuanling, or were not yet born. There were also many who were serving in Nanchen.

And Zhao Yuanshu is someone Cui Che knows well but has not yet made a fortune.

Zhao Yuanshu's reputation in history was mainly due to his participation in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, but he also had great talents, such as straightening out the grain rental issues across the country in just ten days, so he was favored by Yang Guang.

Naturally, he doesn't have that ability now, but his qualifications are here, and with a little training for a year or two, he can become an outstanding assistant.

Cui Che ordered Li Qing to send Zhao Yuanshu back to Dongyang City, while he asked about the first batch of sea salt shipped to Guanzhong.

"Master, please rest assured. A total of 500,000 dendrobium has been shipped from Qingzhou, Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, and Juzhou, and it will be shipped to Daxing tomorrow."

Zhao Wen replied.

Cui Che was nominally in charge of the Qingzhou Salt Affairs, but in reality it was handled by Zhao Wen. Cui Che spent more energy on winning over the salt soldiers and salt workers.

Cui Che nodded when he heard this. The five hundred thousand dendrobium salt arrived in Guanzhong, which verified the yield of Tantian. I'm afraid Yang Jian could smile from ear to ear.

This is indeed the case. In mid-April of the fourth year of Kaihuang's reign (584), sea salt from Qingzhou, Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, and Juzhou was transported to Daxing via water transport. Except for a small accident in the Weihe River section, nothing happened along the way.

Yao Mozi.

Yang Jian witnessed the output with his own eyes and was very happy.

As mentioned before, the domestic production of tens of millions of dendrobium a year cannot be digested, so it can be exported to foreign trade. Salt is an urgent need and there is no need to worry about sales.

These 500,000 hu of salt will undoubtedly relieve the urgent needs of the national treasury.

At the same time, Yang Jian also took the salting process more seriously, treating it as a top secret for fear of leaking.

Thinking that Cui Che had only raised 3,000 salt soldiers, how could he protect 100,000 acres of beachland, so he issued an edict, ordering Cui Che to recruit 3,000 more salt soldiers.

Yang Jian also set up an agency to be responsible for foreign salt trade.

Among them, Changsun Sheng was solely responsible for trade with the Turks. Changsun Sheng had been on several missions to the Turks. He had many contacts there and was well-connected. There was no more suitable candidate than him.

During this period, a major event occurred in Daxing City, and Yang Su, the imperial censor, was dismissed from office.

It's funny to say that this incident was caused by a quarrel between husband and wife.

Yang Su's wife Zheng Qiye was a shrewd woman, and Yang Su also spoke unabashedly. During a quarrel, she said angrily:

'If I become the emperor, I will definitely not let you be the queen!'

Zheng Qiye was not just a man who had nothing to do, so he turned around and reported the matter to the court.

The ending can be imagined, Yang Su was convicted for this. If he hadn't been sweet-talking and got Yang Jian's love, it would not have been as simple as being dismissed from office if it had been someone else.

Yang Su's experience undoubtedly once again verified the principle of marrying a virtuous wife.

Marrying a good wife may not necessarily help you achieve success, but it will never hold you back.

This is not the only interesting story about Yang Su. In March, before Yang Su was dismissed from office, Li Baiyao, the son of Li Delin, was ordered by the internal historian to have an affair with Yang Su's concubine. He went into a private meeting in Yang's house at night and was caught by Yang Su.

Su caught him right.

Yang Su became angry and wanted to kill Li Baiyao, but seeing that he was under twenty years old, handsome and Li Delin's son, he didn't know whether it was out of pity for his talent or for Li Delin's sake, so Yang Su asked Li Baiyao to kill him.

The poem tells itself, if written well, it can avoid death.

Li Baiyao didn't have any stage fright, he was quick-thinking and wrote the essay on the spot, finishing it in one go.

After Yang Su read it, not only did Yinuo let Li Baiyao go, but also gave him the concubine, and even gave him hundreds of thousands in money. This was not all. Afterwards, Yang Su recommended Li Baiyao.

He asked Yang Jian to be granted the title of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites of the Shangshu Province.

Li Baiyao not only gained wealth and wealth, but also obtained an official position.

When news of the incident reached Qingzhou, even Cui Che was dumbfounded. I can just write poems, too!

Cui Che was also familiar with Li Baiyao, the future author of "Book of Northern Qi", and he read it frequently before traveling through time.

However, Cui Che had no intention of envying Li Baiyao at this time. He even ended his inspection of the beach fields early and returned to Dongyang City.

In such a hurry, it is natural that there is something going on at home.

But it was a happy event. It turned out that Yang Lihua was diagnosed with Ximai and became pregnant. Calculating the time, it was the result of the few days when Cui Che returned to Dongyang City to stay for a while.

Yang Lihua's pregnancy is a great joy for the whole family. Even Miaorong, Mu Xieli, and Yuchi Chifan are happy for her from the bottom of their hearts.

Not only is the friendship between the four sisters, but also because Yang Lihua will not give birth to their eldest son, Cui Che cannot get too close to them, for fear of causing an accident and causing them to give birth before Yang Lihua.
