Zhang Zhun returned to Yangjiatun and found Yang Yinghan waiting for him.

It was indeed a bit strange that someone named Yang Yinghan. No wonder Yang Yinghan came to Zhang Zhun as soon as possible. She had basically no contact with the outside world. Except for the people from Yangjiatun, few people should know her name. How could anyone named her and look for her?

Zhang Zhun and Yang Yinghan came to Yangjiatun, and the other party was already received in a brand new thatched hut. This thatched hut was newly built by Yang Kaide, mainly to greet the fellow villagers who sent private salt from each town. Everyone brought the coarse salt here. When they were tired and thirsty, they would drink a sip of water here and take a rest. It not only seemed that Yangjiatun was welcoming guests, but also to avoid outsiders entering Yangjiatun to avoid leaking the secret of refined salt purification.

The person who came was a thin tall man in his fifties, with two beards, as if he was a master, with a literary figure, and with two followers. The followers did not carry weapons. They claimed to be businessmen from Jimo County, but refused to reveal their true identities. Of course, the guards who were guarding nearby could not let him in. But he insisted on seeing Yang Yinghan, so the guards settled him in the thatched hut.

Seeing Yang Yinghan coming, the man who looked like a master stood up and bowed and said, "Is this Miss Yang Yinghan, Miss Yang?"

Yang Yinghan looked at him in confusion, then looked at Zhang Zhun, and said quietly: "I am. May I ask you..."

The master immediately bowed and said, "I am in Xia Yu Nanti, from Qingzhou Prefecture. My master asked me to say hello to Miss Yang, and I wish Miss Yang good health and beauty forever."

Zhang Zhun was beyond Zhang Zhun's expectations for being so polite.

Yang Yinghan said, "Sorry, our Yangjiatun is too simple. If Mr. Yu doesn't dislike it... please sit down."

Yu Nanti said with a smile: "I dare not bother Miss Yang. I just came forward on behalf of the Lord. The Lord asked me to bring a gift to Miss Yang in person."

After saying that, he took a brocade box from the entourage behind him, and gave it to him with both hands, saying respectfully: "This is given to Miss Yang by my head. Please accept it with a smile."

He smiled at Zhang Zhun and said, "My head is a woman, please don't misunderstand me."

Zhang Zhun originally wanted to ask what was going on, and he was either traitor or robber. If the other party had bad intentions towards Yang Yinghan, he would have to break the other party's head. However, the other party explained in advance, and he could not speak, so he had to ask: "I dare to ask if it's the best..."

Yu Nanti said with a smile: "My head said that when I see Mr. Zhang in the future, I will tell you my identity and name in person. I dare not disclose it now. Please forgive me for your crime."

Zhang Zhun frowned quietly.

What plane is it for a mysterious gift?

However, the mysterious Xu that the other party fiddled with seemed to be nothing big.

The biggest possibility is that it is for the sale of Jingyan, which should be that Jingyan’s huge profits are being missed.

Judging from the feedback from Yang Ruifeng, and the fiscal revenue and expenditure recorded by Yang Yinghan, the current fine salt is Tang Monk's meat! In just half a month, Yang Yinghan's account had "deposits" of thousands of taels of silver. In the past, all the assets of Yang Jiatun were probably not as much as a fraction of this number. These silvers were hidden in the temporarily dug cellar.

Yang Yinghan hesitated, wondering if she should take this brocade box.

Zhang Zhun reached out to take the brocade box and said calmly: "Since that's the case, thank you for being a gift! I, Zhang Zhun, also wish you good health and a permanent youth."

Yu Nanti said with a smile, "I have another thing to tell Miss Yang, Mr. Zhang, my master is interested in buying all the fine salts in your Yangjiatun. If you have the goods on your hands, you might as well send them to Zhao Laoba in Zhaojiatun. The transaction will never be delayed. The price of each pound of fine salt is 160 cents."

Zhang Zhun nodded unconsciously.

It was indeed for the salt.

However, the price of 160 cents is five cents higher than before. Moreover, there is also a great advantage, that is, only the fine salt is sent to Zhaojiatun, which greatly shortens the transportation route of fine salt. From Yangjiatun to Zhaojiatun, you can go back and forth in one day. The shortening of the distance means that the risk is also reduced. The soldiers who escort the fine salt are not so nervous.

It seems that Yu Nanti's master is really a bit sincere in doing business, and she is also cunning. She should know that she is the one who is in charge of Yangjiatun, but she doesn't look for her, but comes to Yang Yinghan and gives her a gift in advance, making it difficult for her to refuse. However, since the other party offered an extraordinary price, she must have some other requirements.

Zhang Zhun said: "It's so good, I'm willing to sell you the salt. I wonder if there are any other requirements for the price?"

Yu Nanti then said, "My family said, if Miss Yang could sell all the salt to us and not to others, my family would be grateful. Of course, this is just a small request. If you two feel embarrassed, just say nothing."

Yang Yinghan subconsciously looked at Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the other party’s true intention is to want this exclusive management right.

According to Yang Ruifeng's feedback, the entire Shandong is currently in short supply of fine salt. The retail price of fine salt has been sold for 270 to 80 cents, and the price is still rising. At this time, you can easily earn huge profits by controlling the sales of fine salt to achieve some other goals.

Yu Nanti said it nicely, and it doesn’t matter whether he agrees or not, but who is he? Since the other party is sincere in doing business, he will definitely not be frivolous. One hundred and sixty cents per kilogram of fine salt is already very good for Yangjiatun. The other profits are left to others to make. Be profit-bound, the more people you tie, the better. You won’t be fat if you eat alone!

Zhang Zhun immediately said, "Okay! I, Zhang Yulin, promised you that all the salt will be sold to you and will not be sold to others!"

Yu Nanti immediately smiled and thanked her continuously.

Yang Yinghan said curiously: "Mr. Yu, I don't know how the nobles knew me?"

Yu Nanti said with a smile: "I am not very clear about this. I am doing it on orders. Please ask Miss Yang to see my head in the future when she sees my head, and ask in person! My head said that she will definitely meet Miss Yang in the future. She envies Miss Yang's beauty!"

Yang Yinghan had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay."

Yu Nanti then said goodbye with a smile.

Zhang Zhun nodded and sent him out of the hut.

Yu Nanti, with two followers, disappeared quickly.

His arrival and his departure seemed quite strange.

What's even more strange is that his master, I don't know who he actually knew Yang Yinghan, but he was a woman, or from the distant Qingzhou Prefecture. The distance between Laizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture is too far away. People from Qingzhou Prefecture ran to Yangjiatun to buy fine salt. It seems that Shandong's fine salt is indeed very powerful.

Yang Yinghan looked at the brocade box in her hand, then looked at Zhang Zhun, and said in a daze: "Yu Lin, don't know what is inside?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "I'll open it."

As he said that, he took the brocade box and checked it left and right up and down. No abnormalities were found, so he slowly opened the brocade box.

"ah?"

"Silver squid!"

Yang Yinghan couldn't help but scream.

It turned out that there was nothing else in the brocade box, just twenty small silver turtles.

All the silver turtles are placed in the red silk sank, and are placed neatly. The light is reflected, and the silver white is covered with silver. You can tell at a glance that these silver turtles are not circulated on the market, but are used for gifts. If you look closely, you will find that each silver turtle has the words "Sihai Money House" and a special mark on it, indicating that they are gift boxes specially produced by Sihai Money House.

Brigadier Zhang picked up the silver turtles and weighed them and found that each silver turtle was at least five taels. Twenty silver turtles were a full 100 taels of silver. Because it was a silver turtle for gifts, it was of great quality and had no damage at all. If the silver turtle with such a very good quality was exchanged for copper coins, every turtle could be exchanged for at least 1,200 copper coins.

In fact, there is no need to look at anything else. The unique mark of Sihai Money House alone is the greatest quality assurance. Since the 15th year of Wanli, Sihai Money House has been synonymous with the money shop industry and has excellent credibility. The gift boxes produced by Sihai Money House have always been very popular gifts from the upper class.

The price of silver in the Ming Dynasty was always relatively expensive and its purchasing power was very strong. It was not until the Wanli year that overseas trade was very developed, and a large amount of silver flowed from overseas, which led to the continuous decline in the silver price. However, even so, silver was still very valuable. You should know that during the Chongzhen period, the country's annual fiscal revenue was only three to four million taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver is enough to buy one hundred stones of food.

One hundred stones of food is about twenty thousand kilograms!

No wonder Yang Yinghan exclaimed with such a tribute.

If this brocade box was given to Zhang Zhun, she would not be so surprised, as others would ask for it. However, these silver crocks were given to her by the other party, not to Zhang Zhun. What's even more strange is that according to Yu Nanti's statement, the gift was actually a woman! Yang Yinghan really didn't understand when she met such a noble person.

"Yulin..."

Yang Yinghan was both excited, nervous, and a little unbelievable. She didn't know what to do. She was not accomplice and was not used to receiving gifts from others.

"You can leave it first."

Zhang Zhun thought for a moment and said slowly.

If it were before this, the two of them would have jumped up with joy, which was definitely not as simple as screaming. But now, the two have already had the money tree with refined salt to purify the money tree, and they would naturally not be too excited to make money every day. With such a brocade box, they can earn one in a day.

Such gold crocks are usually used for collection, and they will definitely not be used unless they are absolutely necessary. It just so happens that Yang Yinghan has never had any gold and silver jewelry, and this brocade box is her own private money.
