Wei Youwei came in with the food. Hearing this, he asked curiously, ”Congratulations, what? Is there anything good for you
”Is it a happy thing, ma'am?” Wei Zuo stood up and handed the letter to Wei you.
Wei you looks at his eyes and shows his joy. He is more careful than Mu Chen and Wei Zuo. Besides being happy, he also thinks about Shen Jingli's physical condition.
”My Lord, my wife is in poor health, and now she is pregnant with twins. Should I buy more things to make up for it?” Wei you reminds us, ”Jiangcheng is rich in products. You can buy some edible products and send them back. Do you want to prepare some herbs such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum?”
Mu Chen and Wei Zuo both felt that what he said was reasonable. Wei Zuo patted him on the shoulder and said, ”Wei you, or Zhou Dao you want.”
”Indeed.” Mu Chen agreed, ”then you will go to the market tomorrow and have a look. If there is anything useful and interesting, you can buy some for your wife and send it back.”
”Would you like to write a letter to Han Feng and ask him to find some Millennium ginseng and millennial snow lotus for his wife in the north?” Wei you ordered a meal and asked.
Mentioning the cold wind, Mu Chen thought of the white shoulder sculpture mentioned in Mu Jin's letter. He waved to the left guard, ”take the letter and I'll have a look.”
Wei Zuo handed the letter to him respectfully. Mu Chen read it carefully and thought for a moment. Then he said, ”the cold wind is not in the northwest.”
”Where can't he stay in the northwest?” Wei you doubts.
Mu Chen rubbed his thumb on the letter paper and didn't answer Wei you's words. But he had a premonition that the cold wind man was definitely not in the northwest now. Wei you didn't care about it. He called Mu Chen and Wei Zuo to have a meal.
”When he was out, Mu Chen always ignored those hierarchical concepts. Especially in the wild, he basically sat on the ground, ate fast, and entered a defensive state.
”Well, sit down and eat.” Mu Chen sat down first, and then said to them that food and sleep were silent.
After several people had a quick meal, Wei Zuo took out two pamphlets. ”My Lord, this is what you asked me to investigate. The other one is the account book of his wife running the shop.”
Wei Zuo handed over the two pamphlets, pulled a stool, and sat in front of Mu Chen. ”My Lord, Jiang Changhua has a lot of contacts with people in the southern military camp recently. He also went to the flower house to drink and chat with the Deputy General of general Zheng.”
No one knows more about the problems of the southern saltworks than Jiang Changhua, the salt pond supervisor. So mu Chen went to Jiangcheng and immediately asked Wei Zuo to investigate him.
”What do you think is wrong with him?” Mu Chen picked up two pamphlets and flipped through them at will.
Wei Zuo pondered for a while, then said: ”at present, what we found is that he took bribes and sold private salt.”
As a salt pond warden, he secretly stole official salt refined by the imperial court and sold it. This crime alone is enough to take off his black hat and exile him to Northeast China. As long as the official salt remained high, the private salt could not be banned. As long as the salt merchants were profitable, they did not care about the government's policy. Moreover, because the price of private salt was low, the people were willing to buy private salt, which contributed to the arrogance of salt merchants.
”What about piracy?”
”It's covered up very tightly. I've inquired around the city, and no one knows the details.” Wei left shook his head. For a moment, he seemed to think of something and added, ”however, I heard someone say at the North Wharf of the city that it seemed that thousands of Jin of good salt had been lost.”
Thousands of kilograms of good salt, if it is really lost, it is nothing. If it is swallowed by the internal people, it is someone who can't bear it and intends to sell it.
”Sir, what are we going to do next?” Wei asked.
”First, keep an eye on Jiang Changhua and see who his nearest contact is.” Mu Chen said, ”send someone to the barracks to inquire about the pirates. Where are the captured pirates?”
”I know.” Weizuo and Weiyou have different tongues.
Then she nodded to remind Mrs. Mu to buy supplies
Wei Zuo and Wei you can't help laughing, thinking that the relationship between ye and Fu Ba is really good, and the wife is the first in everything. After they left, Mu Chen took out the letter and stroked it gently. He could almost imagine Shen Jingli's expression of chagrin when he learned that he was pregnant with twins. He was not unwilling to give birth to him. He simply didn't like pregnancy, and he didn't like the pain of having a child. Thinking about it, Mu Chen couldn't control his missing. He immediately got up and let the store small The worker sent in his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread the paper and studied the ink, so he wrote to Shen Jingli. On the morning of the third day, Wei Zuo and Wei you went to the street to buy Shen Jingli all kinds of goods according to Mu Chen's request. They sent Mu Chen's letters back to MUJIAZHUANG as soon as possible before they started to do their own business.
