King, Queen Wants Divorce Again!

The boat stopped at the ferry.

Su Zixuan stepped onto the deck and looked out over a vast expanse. Riding on this surging river, the Su Clan's fleet had to spend nearly half a month before they could enter the boundary of the eastern part of the river.

Su Qian Shan's orders were originally to head to Jiangnan, so she left most of her men behind to head to Jiangnan. After that, she brought a pair of female attendants and Su Mao to disembark from the boat.

Since the situation in Jiangnan wasn't urgent, he sent some people to stabilize the situation for a while. However, Jiang Dong's case would be decided in these three months.

Yuzhang County.

Su Zixuan's trip to the East of the River, the first to bear the brunt of this place.

The Thirteen Salts of the Su Clan was one of the top salt banks in the entire Da Qi Kingdom. However, if it weren't for Su Qian Shan's long years of standing as the number one merchant in the imperial household and the convenience of the Ministry of Revenue, it would have been far from easy.

Salt had always been more precious than food.

Jiang Dong had the largest salt field in the entire Da Qi Kingdom. With his unique geographical location and the Su Clan's economic reserves, the Thirteen Salts of Jiang Dong was, of course, a piece of fat meat that countless people rushed for.

Su Zixuan felt that it wasn't unexpected for the Yan Clan to have set their sights on this. Aside from the fact that they had to deal with a lot of government officials, there was also a huge profit from this salt shop.

However, he was greedy and had evil intentions.

It was near dusk, and the group of people found an inn to stay at within the County City.

Only after Su Zixuan had finished washing up did she feel at ease as she laid on the bed.

The waterway was different from the land, she had vomited until it got dark when she first got on the boat, but it was the longtime boatman who had taught her to take some ginger slices before the water got better.

Now that she had landed on the shore and her feet had landed on the ground, Su Zixuan no longer felt as if she was swaying from side to side. Only then did she feel as if she had come back to life.

Sleep well at night.

Early in the morning, there was already a hubbub on the street as shouts and shouts rose and fell one after another. Su Zixuan had just finished breakfast when Su Mao brought someone over to see Su Zixuan.

"Greetings, Young Master." The man nodded and bowed with a fawning smile on his face, then continued, "The storekeeper's special guest has come to pick up the Young Master."

Su Zixuan nodded slightly. Her expression was calm, but it was hard to tell if she was happy or angry. Instead, it caused the employees to feel somewhat apprehensive.

Su Zixuan didn't say anything and only sat for a while before standing up.

"Let's go."

With a slightly hoarse voice beside his ear, the shop assistant raised his smile again and said, "Please come this way. The carriage is ready outside, and your luggage will be brought as well."

Su Zixuan's expression didn't change, and he directly walked out. Mascot also followed.

The shop assistant saw that everyone had left, so he followed them. In his heart, however, he was extremely conflicted. The shopkeeper called for him to come and pick up the Little Boss, but he didn't know whether to be happy or not.

Su Zixuan sat in the carriage and said to the waiters, "Let's go directly to the salt shop."

This time, the shop assistant was stupefied. He turned to Su Zixuan and said, "This …" The shopkeeper is waiting for you at the mansion. "

Su Zixuan ignored the assistant's words and sat inside the carriage without saying a word.

He didn't dare to disobey the shopkeeper's words, but he didn't dare to disobey the Young Master's orders either.

Regardless of the severity, he still called for people to report to the shopkeeper quickly. He then drove the carriage into the salt shop.

Inside the carriage, Su Zixuan drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, which had been deliberately pressed until it was hoarse. However, when Mascot saw this, he secretly laughed.

Su Zixuan was also helpless. She wasn't used to lowering her voice to avoid saying more mistakes, so it was better if she spoke less.

These two girls saw that she was usually too unrestrained with them and dared to secretly laugh at their master.

Su Zixuan's face sank. As expected, he saw that Mascot had lowered his head and looked at Mascot, not daring to say anything more.

The carriage moved slowly and soon stopped.

Su Zixuan landed on the ground and was slightly dazed as he looked at the signboard before him that had a few large words written on it.

Su Ji Yan Xing. In his previous life, in order to ask for marriage for her, he was sent to the Yan Clan. With his surname changed, he was captured after the incident and died.

But they were not given up now.

This nice plaque reminded her of what she should do.

Su Zixuan stood in the hall, watching the people coming and going, picking out and choosing from the salt shops, the refined salt that the richer families bought, the inferior crude salt that the more ordinary people bought, and the black salt sand that some people bought.

No matter how rich or powerful it was, the price of this black coloured salt was extremely high.

One should not be free of salt for a day, but the cost of making it was extremely high. Therefore, even though the imperial government controlled the salt well, the price of salt was still very high.

Therefore, even the lower grade salt sand would be sold. It was only to get someone to buy it themselves and refine it a few times before they were able to enter the dishes.

After going through all the official documents, the salt banks needed salt to be able to draw it out from the saltworks. Not only did they have to pay for the salt, but they also had to pay a large amount of tax.

Thus, there was no tax payment for the salt, which was a windfall. Thus, even though private salt was strictly prohibited, there would still be people who would take the risk and believe in wealth and danger.

Su Zixuan didn't know if there was such a person in the Su family. Even though they were in the open, they still secretly sold salt.

In any case, the reason she came to Jiangdong this time was to investigate this phenomenon.

He had to personally cut off the evil at his waist before the matter was exposed so that it would not affect the entire Su Clan.
