"Let's go in!" Xiao Yun waved his backhand, and the moon-knife made a "defying" sound, inserted it into the black scabbard on his waist. His right hand was freed and pulled the little princess, looking away as if no one was around Taiping Farm.

"Slow down!"

With a shout, Chen Hong walked over with his bloody wrist, his eyes far more vicious than before.

Xiao Yun said to himself: "Is this man really ungrateful?" He turned his face and asked coldly: "What? Do you want to fight again?"

This sentence is undoubtedly extremely arrogant. Chen Hong's face changed. After the battle just now, Chen Hong actually knew that although he was a few years older than the young man in front of him, in terms of martial arts, he was really not his opponent. If he didn't, he was not his opponent, and he was probably not his opponent.

Seeing that the two of them were indeed looking for someone, Chen Hong also had a hint of confusion. Today he received an order from Fang's eldest daughter Fang Taiping, saying that someone was coming in Taiping Villa today, asking him to wait carefully at the restaurant opposite. After receiving the order, Chen Hong did not dare to be negligent. He rushed to Taiping Villa early in the morning and asked for some soju wine at the restaurant opposite. He was about to pass by, but no one was coming. Chen Hong originally thought that no one would come today, but he didn't expect that the two of them would come, and they were a man and a woman. Without saying a word, the person came and wanted to leave in Taiping Villa privately.

The order he received was to wait for one person. Seeing that two people came to the other party, he couldn't help but wonder. He saw them walking into Taiping Villa swaggeringly, fearing that they were from the court. Although there was chaos today and Fang Guozhen was also the overlord of the side, selling private salt was a loss after all. Since the Qin State implemented a more severe salt monopoly policy than Qi State during Shang Yang's reforms. Not only did he use heavy taxes to control the production and circulation of salt, but he also set up a "Salt and Iron City Official" to specialize in Sichuan.

The benefits of the greed are to manage the mountains and forests, strengthen the control and management of the production and circulation links of salt production and circulation to prevent private consumption. Until the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six countries and the whole day, the "standard laws" of salt management and other "standard laws" since Shang Yang were still the same. The control of salt profit was subject to "standard laws", but private salt has been repeatedly banned. Many local tyrants, and important military personnel even openly promoted private salt trading, and the amount was quite large. For example, Liu Zhu, the governor of Qingzhou in the Later Han Dynasty, "had a few houses of private salt" was an example.

In this situation, in the Song Dynasty, although the illegal salt monopoly system was further strengthened, the ban on the production and sales of private salt had developed to an unprecedented stage, far from the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, but the number of people involved in the production and sales of private salt was not only complex, but also numerous, covering all regions. In the Shangsi Prefectures (Jian, Jian, Tingzhou and Shaowu Army) in the western part of Fujian Road, "the land was dangerous and remote, and the people were engaged in private trafficking (salt) business, with 50% and 60% of the local residents making a living by private trafficking for many years. There were similar situations in Jiangxi and Guangdong, and sometimes even people in the entire village went out to travel and sell. Historical records: "Gan, Guangjian, (minister) often traveled back and forth by the end of the year (the end of the year), and called Yanzi."

In order to fight against the arrest of the official army, these private salt dealers often travel in groups. In addition to a few people, dozens, and hundreds of people gather together to sell salt, many places often use thousands of people to sell private goods with weapons, such as Hui, Yan, Qu, Wu, Jian, Jian, Qian and Jizhou on Jiangxi, Fujian and other roads, "moved thousands of people to steal tea and salt." This is just a situation by land, look at the water route. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, more than 100 private salt ships often traveled to the river and killed and plundered.

Merchants. On the coast of Guangnan, large boats have often traveled to and from the sea since the Northern Song Dynasty, and private salt was sold, and it has not yet declined until the Southern Song Dynasty. Fang Guozhen is entrenched overseas and relies on selling private salt. In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, there are dense populations and many people. It is the best place to sell private salt. Therefore, Fang Guozhen built this Taiping Villa in Suzhou City. As a transit station for selling private salt, he usually does the business of selling private salt. Chen Hong saw Xiao Yun and the other two dressed gorgeously and hung a scimitar on his waist, how could he not be suspicious?

"Hmph, you are very skilled in martial arts. I am ashamed of myself, but it is not easy for you to enter Taiping Villa!" Chen Hong stared at Xiao Yun and said coldly.

When Xiao Yun heard Chen Hong's tone, he seemed to have a trick. He turned around, glanced at him, and sneered: "Why, do you have any unique skills?"

"Chen Hong has no unique skill, but Chen Hong has grown up in the world since childhood, with grudges and grudges in the world, and Xiao Yun insulted him in front of so many people. Although Chen Hong was thick-skinned, he couldn't hold back. He shouted: "Boy, if you want to enter Taiping Villa today, it depends on whether you have enough skills?"

Although Xiao Yun's sword skills were as powerful as a tiger just now, Chen Hong was not afraid. He practiced martial arts at the age of five and his thirty years of hard work were not in vain. Besides, he had encountered many dangers in his life and could resolve them one by one. Moreover, his eagle claw skills were unparalleled in the world. If he hadn't been careless, how could he have been obsessed with his Taoist sermon?

"Hmph, old man, I advise you to keep this hand and eat well. If you eat with your feet in the future, it will be bad!" Xiao Yun turned his face and exuded a murderous aura on his body. Yesterday, Japan was full of anger and finally suppressed it. Today, by Chen Hong's flirting, it would have become a prairie fire. If Xiao Yun had not tried his best to restrain himself, he would have taken action long ago. Even so, Xiao Yun still said secretly: "Damn, if you don't give you some colors, you will still think that Xiao is afraid of you!"

*************** Here are some questions about private salt.

Private salt actually existed since the Qin Dynasty, and later passed through the Western Han Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Song Dynasty, which was particularly powerful.

In the Song Dynasty, with the further strengthening of the salt monopoly system, the prohibited activities of banned production and sales of private salt developed to an unprecedented stage, far from the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and had a huge impact on the politics and economy of the Song Dynasty.

There are smuggling, there are smuggling, and those who smuggled salt, in order to fight the arrest of the official army, private salt dealers often go in gangs. In addition to a few people, dozens, and hundreds of people gather together to sell salt, many places often use thousands of people to sell salt with weapons, such as Hui, Yan, Qu, Wu, Jian, Jian, Qian and Jizhou on Jiangxi, Fujian and other roads, "moved thousands of people to steal tea and salt." This is just a situation by land, look at the water route. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were often "more than 100 private salt ships traveling to the river and killing merchants." In Guangnan

On the coast, there have been large boats traveling to and from the sea since the Northern Song Dynasty, and private salt was sold, and it has not yet declined until the Southern Song Dynasty. On February 8, the fourth year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, the supervisory envoy Guangnan issued an edict to Ming Li: "I have heard that the big boats are not very harmful. When the big boats arrive at thirty boats, there are no more than ten boats, and all the tools, gongs and drums are prepared. It started with the sale of private salt. When the power is strong, it will be robbed." The prosperity of private salt in the Song Dynasty was not only reflected in the vast rural areas and general prefectures and counties, but also in the Southern Song Dynasty, even when traveling inside and outside the city of Lin'an (now Hangzhou).

The Yuan Dynasty was the most prevalent period of private salt in ancient China. The activities of private salt production and sales of the Tinghu, Xiaozhuang, Shang, and the soldiers and other people developed further on the basis of the Song Dynasty, showing an increasingly fierce development trend, especially the salt sales of private salt in the Qing Dynasty. "There are many types, large scale, wide areas, and fierce harms, and the salt ills accumulated in the past dynasties."
