Chapter 3091: A small building is as quiet as smoke, the four major families, plotting against Shangguan

People in Shu live a leisurely life and enjoy the most.

So after the ceremony of welcoming the county magistrate, several local gentry rarely got together and made an appointment to gossip in a teahouse.

When they sent their friends to take over the second floor of the Shangchun Building and sat down to have tea and chat in this open-style teahouse, everyone's topics turned to the county magistrate they were waiting for today.

There are four young masters here, all of whom are thirty or forty years old and have a family-friendly family.

They were the Xin family who controlled the Yanjing along the Yangtze River in Guizhou, and the large landlord You family who owned a large tract of land in the north and south of Kuizhou.

The third one is a middle-aged scholar with the surname Bu. He looks kind but is very majestic.

This Bu family is a family of officials who have been in charge of generations. Their children are officials everywhere in the world, and their power is indeed extraordinary.

The last one was a young master named Gan. He was in his twenties and was gentle and elegant, with a scent of reading poetry and books.

These four of them are all outdoor characters in their families. In other words, they are the direct children of their families. They are mostly responsible for the matters such as welcoming and sending off.

For them, they can be the master of their own small things, but if they really talk about the direction and decisions of big things, they have to decide on their respective heads of the family.

Now in this teahouse, the forces represented by these four families are close to 80% of the entire Kuizhou County, from financial resources to power of speech.

In other words, these four seemingly calm guys are the people Zhao Jinding is deliberately trying to deal with.

After they sat down and chatted for a few words, everyone's topic could not help but turn to the county magistrate Zhao Jinding.

When everyone talked about the governor of Zhao County, the second young master of the Xin family who had countless salt wells at home couldn't help but smile.

"This Zhao County Governor must have come here for some reason, but he has a lot of moral character and whether he is a high-quality person, then you have to try it out."

The second young master of the Xin family, Zi Weiwei, has a square face. He is also square and has a loud voice when speaking and a smile. He looks like a masculine figure.

However, what he said was not recognized by the other three people.

The Xin family monopolized the salt of the well in Shuzhong, and made money like mountains and seas, so when he encountered problems, he instinctively thought about using money to solve them.

What he said just now was to test whether the governor Zhao would eat the money that others fed him.

At this time, in the eyes of other companies, the solution proposed by Young Master Xin was a bit too rash, and he also thought it simple, so the other three people didn't comment after hearing this.

...If you want to say that this well salt is actually a substitute for sea salt. Basically, it is all salt in terms of ingredients, and the difference between the two salts is not big.

However, the salt produced from the southeast coast must be transported to Shuzhong by water.

During this period, there will be great losses due to water leakage in the ship, moisture and other reasons.

In addition, along the way, the high freight and government exploitation also made it expensive to ship the invaluable sea salt here.

Therefore, in order to absorb salt, locals began to absorb salt from the groundwater veins a hundred years ago and boiled it into salt for consumption.

These brine wells are salt wells. The hardworking and smart ancient people used large bamboo and steel drills to make brine wells hundreds of meters deep, pumped water to boil them over high heat. The salt made is whiter than sea salt, which can be called a profitable deal.

The Xin family monopolized half of the well salt industry in Kuizhou. You must know that people can grow their own food and wear clothes that can be spinned and weaved. Ordinary farmers don’t light up much in order to save money, but salt is a must.

Therefore, the Xin family's industry can be said to be rich enough to rival a country. It is inevitable that they want to solve problems with money when they encounter them.

At this time, the second young master of the Xin family in Zifang Hall felt a little embarrassed when he saw that his proposal had not been responded to.

At this moment, the young master of the You family next to him saw a little disgusting, and then smiled and said, "No matter what, you have to try it. Young Master Xin Er should take action, it might be better to be heavier."

"If you spend some money to pull him down, that would be a great thing!"

At this time, Young Master Xin from the Yanjing family heard that the You family gave him a step, and he smiled and nodded, "Then do it like this. If it doesn't work, let's all find a way."

In this way, a bribery trick against Zhao Junzhu was accomplished in just a few words.

Everyone immediately talked about the staff that Zhao Junjun Mage brought with him. Speaking of this, Young Master Bu, who had not made a sound for a long time, said, "I looked at the Junjun Mage Zhao from the side and seemed to be not very cunning. Instead, the two white-clothed students behind him looked majestic, and they should not be underestimated."

"Maybe these two people were sent by Shen Mo, a child from Tongzhou, to pick up the vacancy for the county magistrate Zhao. Don't let these two people ruin our affairs."

"When it comes to the county magistrate Zhao, what is the truth..." At this time, the Young Master Gan from Wushan Academy also smiled and said, "The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle, we have to touch their way."

"When it comes to this, I have a way."

At this time, the young master of the You family, the landlord, immediately spoke again: "Double miles south of our Kuizhou, there is a big pit built by heaven and earth.

It is seventy miles long from east to west and forty miles wide from north to south, and like a huge well made of heaven and earth...it happens to be on the ground of my house."

When everyone heard him suddenly talk about the big trap, they felt that it was a bit unrelated to the topic now, so they turned their attention to the You family’s young master.

Young Master You smiled and said, "The pit is rarely visited and there are even fewer people around.

In that big patio, there were a few people from the martial arts world practicing there.”

"These people recruited disciples to practice in that well, and they all practiced a complete set of magical techniques.

And because I live on the ground of our house, my family takes good care of them, so they become the worship of our You family.”

"Since I want to explore the reality of Zhao County Magistrate Zhao, I might as well let these strange people sneak into Zhao County Magistrate Zhao's home and hear what their plans are. It's a solution."

Hearing this, Young Master Gan, who had Wushan Academy at home, frowned slightly.

Obviously, he was a little disgusted with this kind of act of mobilizing the knights of the world and spying on others' privacy.

But the Young Master Bu from the official family smiled and said, "If you don't need to use this kind of person in the martial arts world, when will you use it if you don't need it?

But it needs to be more careful. I think the soldiers brought by the county magistrate Zhao have all seen blood, so he looks very alert."
