My life skills in Daming Liver

Lin Deqing was indeed an honest man, he didn't ask a word along the way, just walked with his head down.

Su Ze also heard Lin Chun talk about this uncle. Lin Chun is the youngest son of Lin Xianzong. He is now twenty-two years old, but he is still not married.

In this era, being unmarried at the age of twenty-two is considered an old bachelor, and there are old bachelors like Chang Ningwei in almost every household.

It is difficult for military households in the guard to get married, which has been the norm since the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

In the military household system established by Zhu Yuanzhang, military household status is a kind of shackles, not only on the pawns, but also on the families of the pawns.

Lin Xianzong's family is a regular military household, and now Lin Chun's father is serving as a soldier in the guard.

But this doesn't mean that Lin Deqing can rest easy. If something happens to Lin Chun's father, Lin Deqing will be recruited into the army.

Marrying a military household means that her husband may be drawn into the army at any time, and her son and grandson cannot escape the status of military households and may be drawn into the army.

Just ask, would any woman from an ordinary family be willing to marry a child from a military household?

Some people say that it is not enough to just marry the daughter of a military household?

The long-standing tradition of drowning and abortion in Fujian has caused an imbalance in the ratio of men to women.

And if the daughters of military households have the conditions, they are not willing to continue marrying with military households, but prefer to marry out and leave the military.

This has also resulted in a large number of bachelors in Changning Weizhong today, and it is becoming more and more difficult to get married.

Unable to get married, Lin Deqing's personality became more and more introverted. Apart from learning carpentry from his father Lin Xianzong, he rarely wandered around in the guard.

When the three of them arrived at the ghost market, Su Ze handed five bamboo tubes of salt to Lin Deqing and said:

"This is five barrels of refined salt. When you arrive in the market, find an open space and sit down. You can sell them at a price of 100 yuan per barrel. Do you understand?"

Refined salt!

Both Lin Deqing and Lin Liangjun were taken aback.

Su Ze was drying salt by the sea, and everyone in Chang Ningwei knew about it.

But everyone said that Su Ze made coarse salt, how did it become refined salt?

Lin Liangjun quickly opened a bamboo tube, dipped his finger in a little salt, and there was no bitter taste in the mouth, it really was refined salt!

This, how the hell is this done? Obviously what I and my friends exposed on the beach was coarse salt!

It was only then that Lin Liangjun remembered that Su Ze was busy working in the family temple every evening these days. As expected, Brother Aze had a secret recipe that could turn coarse salt into refined salt!

Five tubes of refined salt, that's five hundred Wen! That's a lot of money!

Refined salt is much better than coarse salt!

You must know that the price of a catty of refined salt in the county is 180 yuan! And every time refined salt arrives, the supply is still in short supply, and the big families in the city sometimes have to go to other counties to buy salt!

Su Ze handed the salt to Lin Deqing, and the dull Lin Deqing held the salt nervously and asked:

"Brother Ze, won't you go in?"

Ninth Aunt and Lin Xianzong are of the same generation, Su Ze is now Ninth Aunt's nephew, and is older than Lin Deqing, so Lin Deqing calls him brother.

Su Ze shook his head and said, "Remember to cover your face when you go in, try not to talk, and leave immediately after paying taxes after selling, understand?"

Although Lin Deqing didn't know why Su Ze was so cautious, he still nodded obediently.

When Lin Deqing entered the ghost market, Lin Liangjun asked in a low voice: "Brother Aze, is selling salt still dangerous?"

Su Ze smiled slightly, it was great that Changning Guard was protected by the two previous hundred households.

What is the situation in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty today? The records in the history books are as follows:

"The Zhang and Quan pirates seduced more than 10,000 Japanese slaves, sailed more than 1,000 ships, and killed countless residents."

Japanese pirates are rampant throughout the southeast region, and there are pirates, horse bandits and bandits everywhere, so how can you be careless when doing business in the black market.

That's why Su Ze only brought five catties of refined salt. He was going to explore the depth of the black market.

This small amount of refined salt is only a few hundred coins in total. If it is really targeted, it will be a big deal to lose the money and run away.

That's why Su Ze didn't come out to sell salt himself, but asked the ordinary-looking Lin Deqing to sell salt.

Su Ze's height and identity as a scholar are very recognizable in this era. If he is targeted, the thief may be able to find Changning Guard, which will cause trouble for the Guard.

Su Ze took Lin Liangjun and pretended to be wandering in the ghost market.

Su Ze checked the proficiency of the "valuation" skill while shopping, and observed the situation at Lin Deqing's booth.

Before coming to the ghost market, Su Ze wrote on the wooden signboard "100 Wen of Refined Salt", and he asked Lin Deqing to hang it on the side of the booth, and sure enough, people came up to inquire about the price soon.

Famous signs are signboards or advertisements. In the Tang and Song dynasties, there were flags to attract customers. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they had developed into various nameplates and signboards. Large and famous stores also had store names just like modern times, such as the famous Liubiju. It was opened in the ninth year of Jiajing.

The name plate written by Su Ze is similar to a price list. This price is much lower than the price of 180 Wen a catty of refined salt in the county seat, and also lower than the price of 150 Wen in the ghost market.

When the person who inquired found that what Lin Deqing was selling was indeed refined salt, and there was no shortage of ounces, he immediately paid for a tube of refined salt, turned around and left immediately.

After someone bought it, more people came up to inquire about the price. Lin Deqing was a little at a loss, but he did not open his mouth according to Su Ze's order, but pointed to the price of the name plate and insisted on it.

By the time Su Ze walked around the market outlook and brushed up his "Valuation" skill to Lv1, 30/100, Lin Deqing had already sold all five cylinders of refined salt.

Lin Deqing hurriedly cleaned up the booth. At this time, a middle-aged man with the appearance of an accountant came to Lin Deqing's booth with two men in bunt.

The middle-aged man glanced at the signboard, threw down a slip and said:

"Leave fifty Wen, and leave quickly."

Lin Deqing hurriedly left fifty Wen and left the ghost market with his things.

After Lin Deqing left, Su Ze and Xiaoluotou also slowly walked out of the ghost market.

Seeing that the salt was sold so quickly, Lin Liangjun said excitedly, "Brother Aze, it's really sold!"

Su Ze was not as excited as he was. When the people in the ghost market came up to collect taxes, Su Ze heard what the middle-aged man said.

Is he reminding Lin Deqing that there is danger? Could it be that selling refined salt once will be targeted?

Su Ze pulled Lin Liangjun, instead of going directly to meet with Lin Deqing, but hid outside the ghost city and waited.

Sure enough, two men in rough cloth bunts came out of the ghost market and chased in the direction Lin Deqing left.

Lin Liangjun's face turned pale with fright and said:

"Are they going after Uncle Qing? Will Uncle Qing be in danger?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "They're spying on us, and they won't do anything tonight. Let's find a way to tell Ah Qing to take a detour and not go back directly to the guard."
