Chapter 275
At noon, Gao Feibao, along with a few of his brothers, were pushing mono-wheel carts along the road. Each cart was piled up with sacks filled with salt.
With the Mountain Fortress just having been built, necessities were scarce. Cheng Dalei thus sent people to procure essential items such as food, fabric, iron pots, and bedding. Important supplies like salt, however, were entrusted to someone competent like Gao Feibao.
Of course, this was what Cheng Dalei had expressed, and Gao Feibao wholly believed him.
Salt and iron were monopolized by the court. Buying in bulk wasn't just expensive but also required disclosing its origin to the officials. Therefore, Gao Feibao found an illegal salt dealer and purchased ten carts of salt from him.
