Although Mrs. Kou did not agree with Su Jingchen, she was not disheartened, let alone returned to Huizhou.

   Backing off is not her style.

  A junior, as long as she grinds him back and forth a few times, using both soft and hard methods, she will not believe that he will not surrender.

  Mrs. Kou lived in Yangzhou, but in order to avoid suspicion, she did not live in Shizi Mansion, but lived in the courtyard opposite Su Jingchen's house.

  That’s right, this yard belongs to the Kou family, and the Kou family had already bought it when Mr. Yin was still a salt transport envoy.

  Same as Lord Yin, there are caves in this courtyard. There are more underground passages and secret rooms than in Lord Yin's mansion.

  Old Madam Kou originally wanted to do both, and get some persuasion from Su Jingchen's wife.

   After all, the descendants of the Hou family are much better than the sons of merchants. Su Jingchen has hard bones and is not easy to chew, but Yu Xiaolian may not.

  Which woman doesn't want her husband's family to be decent?

  Old Madam Kou is confident in persuading and softening Yu Xiaolian, and asking Yu Xiaolian to give Su Jingchen some pillow comfort is probably more useful than her lobbying ten times.

I just wanted to be my grandma and meet my daughter-in-law, but I didn't want to be informed by the servants of the Su Mansion that Mrs. Su had gone to Yuzhou half a month ago, and when I asked when she would come back, the servants said vaguely, there is no certainty, maybe it will be summer, Maybe end of the year.

   "Our wife hasn't returned to her mother's house for three years, and I miss her so much. In addition, my wife still has business in Yuzhou, so I haven't been back for many years. It will take some time to settle accounts!"

  Old Mrs. Kou was very upset after being shut down.

  She scolded Su Jingchen for being cunning in her heart.

   Before the man could gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou, the woman left her family. This...

   This is hiding out!

  Yu Xiaolian, who was hiding out, was taking the whole family to have a big meal together.

  She came back this time, using more cars than going to Yangzhou from Beidi, and used a total of nine carriages.

  The carts are full of things, including gifts, Su Yuntong and her belongings, and the most is purified salt.

  Of course, she didn't steal the salt out of her own pocket. As a salt merchant, she set up a salt introduction and wholesaled it from public to public.

  As for the part of the salt that Master Yin pre-sold before his retirement, Su Jingchen also thought of a way to resolve it.

  Although the money from the pre-sale didn't go into Su Jingchen's pocket, those salt merchants spent real money, so they can't let them waste money and not give salt.

   But Mr. Yin’s pre-sale quantity is too large. If all of them are fulfilled, the salt industry will be monopolized by these people again.

  Su Jingchen has no other ambitions, he just wants to make common people eat salt.

  Although it is impossible to make salt cheap, it can still be done without selling it at a high price.

  A certain salt merchant has three thousand catties of sea salt.

  I don’t have three thousand catties of sea salt, do you want purified salt?

  Yes, the price of purified salt is more expensive. I used to buy three thousand catties, but now I can only buy one thousand catties.

What? disagree?

   If you don’t agree, go to the queue and wait until you have sea salt. I will cash it in for you.

  Su Jingchen used this method to dismiss those salt merchants who bought pre-sale salt from Mr. Yin.

   "This sea salt is already expensive, but purified salt is even more expensive. Isn't the price of this salt going up instead of falling?" Yu Ziqian, ten years old, tilted his head and asked Yu Xiaolian with a puzzled expression.

   After several years of training in the school, Yu Ziqian is no longer the naughty boy who only knew how to be silly a few years ago.

  Yu Xiaolian immediately grasped the point when she saw him, gave him an appreciative look, and then talked eloquently to clear up everyone's doubts.

  Although the imperial court now allows salt merchants to sell salt, there are requirements for the price of salt, and the selling price of salt per catty should not exceed three hundred cash.

   Therefore, although these salt merchants exchanged salt notes as they wished, their actual profit margins have shrunk significantly.

  Especially, most of the salt merchants transport salt to remote places without salt for sale. The transportation fee and the city crossing fee on the road, plus labor and so on, are also a lot of expenses.

   "Then if the salt merchant secretly sold the salt at a high price, we wouldn't know it?" Yu Zixuan interjected naively.

  Yu Xiaolian touched her sister's head, and said gently, "They dare not, if the government finds out, it's not like losing their job as a salt merchant, or they will lose their heads."

  Salt is as important as food, it is the foundation of the people, and the imperial court does not allow anyone to exercise power over it.

  Of course, in years of disaster and war, many businessmen took the opportunity to drive up prices, and the prices of food and salt were once sky-high.

  But now is the year of peace, I believe no one dares to be the first bird to touch this taboo.

  …

  Yu Xiaolian took Su Yuntong to stay in Yuzhou for half a year, until the news of the flood in Huainan reached Yuzhou, Yu Xiaolian couldn't sit still.
