"The affairs of the Ning family, you and I are less involved, you can't shirk it, so leave it to me." He Heng instructed Yuehua.

"Well, it's good that Captain Ning went to the northwest temporarily!" Yuehua has fought with Mrs. Ding a few times, you have a good plan, I crossed the wall ladder again, Mrs. Ding can't get any bargain from her, she is mainly worried about Ning Chenghei, this person is too cunning.

He Heng and Yuehua glanced at each other, the tacit understanding between husband and wife, he was also worried about Ning Chenghe!

He Heng had already sent people to inquire about the Ning family and the Qin family in Haizhou.

The reputation of the Ning family in Haizhou is not very good!

Ning San, the old lady of the Ning family, was so poor that he couldn't afford to eat, so he became a small soldier, and he couldn't even marry his daughter-in-law, and later because of his meritorious service on the battlefield, he became a small official in the border defense.

has become a petty official, and with his current status as a petty official, he can go to a good family girl who gets married for the first time, but this old lady Ning is a person who knows how to calculate.

The status of the petty official is very low, and it is only a little stronger than the ordinary soldier, so at the age of thirty-five, he took the widow of an old landlord.

The widow brought a sum of silver and land property, and the old lady Ning made a fortune, although the small officials were not respected, but the Wei official family was exempted from taxes, and the villagers recorded the land property in the name of the Ning family in order to seek protection, and made another fortune by this, and became the local landlord.

Mrs. Ning can plan, Mrs. Ning inherited his father's official son, and gave him the daughter of the famous local gentry Yang family, that is, Mrs. Ning, as his wife.

Although the Yang family is not an official, the Yang family's money is several times more than that of the Ning family, and Mrs. Yang only has an only daughter like Mrs. Ning.

Although Mrs. Yang said that she inherited the Yang family's industry with a nephew, Mrs. Ning also had 'ten miles of red makeup' when she got married, and there were more than 20 sedan chairmen who carried the dowry, from the head to the toilet, and it is said that the toilet lid was also plated with a layer of gold (a typical local tyrant shows wealth).

The Ning family gradually gained a firm foothold in Haizhou by relying on two generations of business, and Mrs. Ning was also a successful one, and had already climbed into the local Ding family, although the Ding family was just a small official, but the Ding family Ding was prosperous, the family was big, and many famous local families had in-law relations, and they were also well-known in the local area.

Originally, the Ding family looked down on the Ning family, because the Ning family had a daughter who married the Ding family's sister-in-law and became the lady of the house, Mrs. Ding and Ning Chengsi can be regarded as cousins, and the Ding family looked down on Ning Chengsi at a young age to become this family.

And Ning Biyun gave the local Qin family, and Mrs. Ning gave his son and daughter a good family affair.

However, because Ning Chengsi secretly married Mrs. Ning's Lu family, the Ding family married their daughter and suffered a loss, and the two families quarreled about Mrs. Ding's affairs.

In order to gain a firm foothold in the Ning family, Mrs. Ding, the daughter who became the daughter-in-law of the family, not only did not help Mrs. Ding, but turned to her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Ding returned home angrily.

The two families don't look like they are in-laws, they hardly interact, and Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ding's parents are even more enmity.

This is also why Mrs. Ding, as the eldest daughter-in-law, did not serve her in-laws in her hometown, but ran to the border pass, Mrs. Ning had a bad reputation in her hometown because of this matter, and was pointed at in Haizhou, but Mrs. Ning was still in her but ran to the border with Chang Xuan to live with the boss.

Now, Mrs. Ning is a petty official at the seaside, and he is doing some business at sea.

Wei State and overseas trade only opened a few bazaars in a few passes along the coast, as far as Haizhou is concerned, Haizhou only allows foreign merchants to enter the street of Fanjie, Fanjie is very small, and the shops are in the hands of the local gentry, most of the foreign merchants only collect some goods at the seaside wharf, but Mrs. Ning happens to be guarding the wharf, and Mrs. Ning can directly get the goods to the wharf and get out.

He Heng felt that this Mrs. Ning was a character, he intercepted the merchants from the dock, harmed the interests of the gentry, and under normal circumstances, it was bound to cause dissatisfaction among the gentry on the street, this old lady not only did not cause dissatisfaction, but had a good relationship with the local gentry, which required a bit of courage and ability, and also needed to balance many interests.

It turned out that this Mrs. Ning was indeed very smart, and he knew that most of the foreign merchants could not enter Fanjie, so he bought silk, porcelain and tea from the merchants of Wei at a low price, which really aroused the vigilance of the officials and gentry at first.

His first step was to secretly unite with some of the official gentry in Fanjie to sell goods at the wharf, and some of the official gentry naturally secretly helped him.

The second step is how he did it! If a merchant needs ten catties of tea, he only gives three catties here, and the rest of the merchants still find a way to buy it on Fanjie!

He and his superiors are the lieutenants of the southeast coastal defense, but this lieutenant does not care much about this aspect of affairs, and the affairs of making money at sea are under the full management of Mrs. Ning.

They are stuck together with the goods of the wharf and the entry and exit of foreign merchants, although the gentry is more powerful than him, but the goods and merchants have to enter and exit from the wharf, he has superiors to protect, and there are some gentry who secretly help each other, Mrs. Ning is also smart, he and his chief here are only 30% at most, and they do not intend to swallow the entire seaside trade, and the gentry have no way to do anything to him but let him get a piece of the pie.

Mrs. Ning also knows how to be a man, he has a cheap and knows how to act in a low-key manner, he has not made any trouble in Haizhou, everyone says that Mrs. Ning has a low-key and humble style, he knows how to have a good relationship with the Haizhou gentry and the official family, from time to time to give gifts, contact feelings, Mrs. Ning is 'kind and charitable' Ning's house set up a porridge shed to help the poor all year round.

Don't look at the official status of Mrs. Ning, there are still some forces in Haizhou.

This kind of superficial good guy and discerning person can naturally see it! For example, he was born in a family, his grandfather, father, and uncle were all officials in the court, and he himself had been trained for several years, and his vision was very poisonous.

Mrs. Ning's 'business' has also cheapened the relatives of the Ning family, and many relatives have also made a fortune by relying on the Ning family, but in recent years, Mrs. Ning has been old and his body is not as good as before, and the business on the seaside of the Ning family is all taken care of by Ning Chengwen, the concubine of the Ning family.

Ning Chengwen was born as a concubine in the end, he was much short-sighted, and he only cared about his immediate interests, but he finally turned over and floated up, he was impetuous and arrogant, and with him, he gradually began to break this balance of interests.

The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the relatives of the Ning family who he also brought to do business with the Ning family have become more and more greedy, and the Ning family's style has been investigated a lot in the past two years.

He Heng felt that this was actually a hidden danger.

Compared with the Ning family, the background of the Qin family is much simpler, the Qin family is a scholarly family, and their ancestors have been operating in Haizhou for hundreds of years, and there are three Haizhou county orders, although it is not a wealthy family, it also has a certain reputation.
