Chapter 555 Sleeves (49)

Mo Anan put down the teacup in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Brother Shumo, do you know about Qinghe?"

"Qinghe?" Mu Fangnian was slightly puzzled. Although the place was a county, it was so backward that it couldn't even compare to a town near the capital.

"That's right, it's Qinghe... Although that place is dilapidated, there are still some merits..."

Mo An'an's words are for Qinghe's humility, that place has great potential in Mo An'an's view.But now, if she said that, no one would believe her, so she could only be forced to be humble.

"Brother Yu has a senior brother who is now serving as the county magistrate in Qinghe... I also know a little about the situation there."

The senior Mo An'an said was one class earlier than her, and he was from the Xin family, another nephew of her teacher.With such a background, it is said that it is impossible to be a county magistrate in Qinghe.Among them, the role of Mo An'an is indispensable.

Mu Fangnian didn't interrupt her, his eyes signaled her to continue.

Mo Anan said softly: "This Qinghe produces salt!"

"What did you say?"

There are only a few places in Daqi that produce salt, so it is impossible for him not to know that if Qinghe produces salt, then how many people will break their heads for the position of Qinghe county magistrate?
How could it be possible to be disliked for so many years?
What's more, if it is true, how did these people hide it from the court?
Mu Fangnian said seriously: "Is what my brother said true?"

Mo An'an said with a faint smile: "The situation is not what you think... This Qinghe River is close to the sea, and it's not controlled by those private salt dealers..."

Mu Fangnian breathed a sigh of relief.

He is actually no stranger to sea salt. The boiled sea salt has been around for a long time.

It's just that it has long since fallen, and there are not many reasons.

The first one is because of private salt dealers. Although the cost of cooking sea salt is high, it is inexhaustible. This is not in the interests of those salt dealers.

At the very beginning, these people couldn't control the will of the court, but they were so lucky that they had a good helper - a pirate!
It's not that the pirates are so powerful that they can make Da Qi retreat.

It's just that these people are very disgusting.

At the beginning, it was only to attack the passing merchants on the sea, and the imperial court sent naval divisions to attack again and again, but they heard the wind and slipped faster than anyone else, and it was difficult for the warships sent by the imperial court to see their figures... Later, for some reasons, Daqi finally banned the sea!
For some reason, these pirates are developing so fast!
Then, it became a big trouble in the southeast today!
Of course, even so, they usually attack the village once!
However, ordinary people are afraid of them, which is also the reason why Qinghe is ruined.The closer to the sea, the less inhabited it is.Even those who are officials are unwilling to come to this kind of place to work.

Therefore, those who can still stay here to cook salt are really courageous.

Mu Fangnian was a little curious, "Who are the people who stay here to cook salt now?"

Mo An'an smiled helplessly, and said: "Although I say they are not private salt dealers, they are actually contributors to private salt in the market!" Sighing, "In the beginning, they used to cook salt for the court. Yan, and the group of people who were forced to go bankrupt... Poor and hateful people!"

Actually, Mo An'an didn't really think these people were hateful!
But the ass decides the head, and political awareness cannot be wrong.

"By now, it's probably all descendants of those bankrupt salt households!"

For generations, their ancestors knew nothing but boiled salt, but under the collusion between officials and businessmen, these people didn't even fill their stomachs, and even owed them...

I can't make it for the rest of my life, so I can only run away!

Mo An'an also didn't understand why it came to this point?
