Coming back from Concubine Xiao, Wang's mother and daughter seemed to have changed their virtues, and even Li Changxin didn't cry or make trouble, but she was happy recently. Wang Ruzhen made great efforts to change the blood in the house, but she did not touch the white beads in the old lady's house.

Li Changqing listened to Qinglian nagging beside her, "Miss, let's just sit back and wait, now that the second lady has started to withhold our things again, if we continue like this, won't we go back to the same place." Qinglian's complaint is justified. In the past few days, the oil and water in the food have not only decreased, but even the fishy smell has disappeared. The injury on Miss's back is just right, and it needs to be treated in time, so if it goes on like this, it will definitely not be a problem.

"It's okay, give them a chance to stumble for a while." Looking at Qinglian's indignant appearance, Li Changqing comforted instead.

As soon as Qinglian heard this, her eyes immediately lit up: "Miss, did you already have an idea." ”

Li Changqing said with a smile: "You girl, when did you gossip like this, if you have this opportunity, go and ask me if there is any gossip in Beijing recently." When Qinglian heard this, she nodded her head twice, and then went quickly.

And things for the salt merchants soon began. In the past, most of the salt merchants were civilian, official revenue, official transportation, and official sales, but later because of this extremely low efficiency and the amount of salt produced was not pure, Xuanyuan Jing completely changed this policy.

In order to stimulate the economy, Xuanyuan Jing will take the name of salt merchants, and provide election opportunities for some wealthy merchants in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and will elect salt merchants who cooperate with the imperial court every four years to make this kind of salt, collect salt unifiedly, and supply it regularly.

Although this provided a purer form of salt, in fact, the biggest drawback was the monopoly of the salt merchants, and the imperial court did not know how much profit it made from it during the election every four years.

And Li Rao's hosting this time made Li Changqing a little surprised, if I remember correctly, the old emperor was quite scruple about her father.

Although the salt merchants are said to be profiteering, if they really talk about the election process, they are also very strict.

Before the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the salt merchants were divided into nest merchants, transport merchants, field merchants, general merchants, etc. And the general merchant is the one with the most power. However, after Xuanyuan Jing's restructuring, there was only one general merchant, and this general merchant gradually evolved into a salt merchant.

Therefore, the salt merchants of the Xuanyuan Dynasty are actually a mixture of nest merchants, transportation merchants, field merchants, and general merchants, and this kind of strength is extraordinary.

Therefore, Fengdeng was able to secretly do a good job as a salt merchant, but in fact, it cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and even had to deal with power.

The division of labor at Bunden is clear. Zhang Er is in charge of the nest business, Wednesday is in charge of the transportation business, the field business, and Bai Ruge is in charge of the general business.

Zhang Er is clever, and it is easy to get to know some fox friends when he runs errands in Yanchi. Xu is Wang family looks down on these flat-headed people who wander around all day long and are idle, but Bai Ruge instructed Zhang Er to let him go to the vicinity of Yanchi to meet this kind of person. Although this kind of person is said to have a good temperament, they are a group of people who are extremely righteous, and of course, there are also some snakes and rats among them.

After Zhang Er got acquainted with this group of people, he mixed together all day, and in less than three days, he even coaxed and deceived and even lured, and finally secretly inquired about the location of the Wang family's salt pond, and quickly told Bai Ruge the news.

The transporters and operators in charge on Wednesday are completely social. Back then, Li Changxin's fox stinky and other secret things were all handled by Wednesday, and the gossip was almost hot for a month. Li Changqing just valued him for this, and, the main thing is, there were people in Xuanyuan Jiafu on Wednesday.

This time, the truth is: In order to consolidate her position as the quasi-crown princess, Lin Zihan actually asked Lin Shangshu to find the head of the Lin family who is still alive, that is, Lin Shangshu's father, who is now in his sixties, to persuade Lin Wanru's brother Lin Wanxin to secretly support the prince's salt merchant in the battle.

The relationship between the Lin family is also very complicated.

Lin Shangshu and Lin Wanru are cousins, and Lin Wanru is Li Changqing's aunt.

Lin's parents died early, and she was raised by the head of the Lin family with her brother since she was a child, and the head of the Lin family loved the Lin brothers and sisters even more than Lin Shangshu.

But even so, after all, it is not biological, and Lin Shangshu's mother is also a woman with many eyes, and she secretly made a lot of stumbling blocks for her two children, which has developed Lin Wanxin's idle nature of not liking to fight since childhood. But Lin Wanru is the opposite, but she has a bold temper and a hot temperament. For many days, he couldn't get along with Lin Shangshu's mother, but it made the head of the Lin family like it very much.

Otherwise, Lin Wanru would not really marry Ye Qingcang so smoothly in the end and become Li Changqing's aunt.

Lin Wanru's eldest brother Lin Wanxin seems to be salty, but his wrist is extremely powerful. In less than a few years, he has become a big businessman in Shangjing.

And the head of the Lin family also wanted to hand over the entire Lin family to this nephew who he loved since childhood, but Mrs. He always refused, so the matter was delayed again and again, and until now, this nephew's wings have grown up, and he can completely break away from his wings, and his son also began to fight and became a scholar, and his granddaughter also became the crown princess, and the matter was put on hold.

Now, although he doesn't live in the same house, Lin Wanxin still goes to Lin Shangshu's mansion every month to visit the head of the Lin family, and every time he gives generous gifts, which makes the head of the Lin family quite satisfied, and he likes it even more.

A few days ago, Lin Shangshu took his daughter Lin Zihan to kneel in front of the head of the Lin family, just to persuade his father to move Lin Wanxin, so that the prince could occupy a place in this competition.

The head of the Lin family was disturbed for several days, and finally went to Lin Wanxin's house.

When I went, it happened that Lin Wanru came to visit her brother, but the head of the Lin family avoided it, and he didn't say anything, but in the evening, Lin Wanxin passed by the Lin family with interest, and then he got the request of the head of the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wanxin readily agreed, and said that he would do his best to help. This made the head of the Lin family love this nephew even more.

Li Changqing did not deny the news on Wednesday, and only smiled in his heart.

Li Changqing ordered Hanying to inquire about Xuanyuan Chu's side, but he learned that there was no movement at all, which made Li Changqing a little uneasy.

She carefully analyzed Xuanyuan Chu's side, if it was discussed, Xuanyuan Chu except for Zhang Gui, Dao really couldn't figure out who would help him.

And Zhang Gui, Li Changqing smiled, it's time to close the net. instructed Bai Ruge that the day before the salt merchant campaign, the fish must be taken back, so as not to let it go and lose a powerful opportunity.

On the second day of February, on the day when the dragon raised its head, Wang Ruzhen rarely invited Li Changqing to go to Xiangji Temple to pray for blessings, and went to see the rare dragon dance in Beijing.

Even though Li Changqing knew in his heart what kind of moth she was going to make, he still agreed to the appointment.
