There were originally dozens of people in the council hall, but Fan Qianshan took away more than a dozen people this time.

The salt merchants who left did not all want to follow Fan Qianshan, and some of them were also worried about the aggravation of business risks caused by the sudden rise in costs, so they also took advantage of this to leave and wait and see the subsequent development of the situation.

"Sir, please get in the car!"

An old servant had been waiting outside, watching Fan Qianshan come out of the car in a hurry, and put a small bench in front of the car, looking respectful and authentic.

Fan Qianshan came to the carriage, but he was not in a hurry to board the carriage, but turned his head to look at the gate of the Salt Inspection Institute, but saw that it was some people who had agreed in advance to come out.

The old servant looked at Fan Qianshan's abnormal behavior, and also looked at the gate curiously, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Fan Qianshan looked at it for a while, and found that the number of people who appeared from him, including the people who had agreed with him, was less than twenty, which was far lower than he expected.

There was no movement until the door for a long time, and he couldn't help clenching his fists angrily, and gritted his teeth to vent the indignation in his heart: "Bastard, damn it! ”

If the capital can't succeed in sniping at the Gang Salt Law, then he will completely lose the label of a big salt merchant, and his Fan family will also lose the big entry of salt, which will undoubtedly suffer a major loss.

Cursing incessantly, he stepped on the bench to get on the car, but his sticking out foot stepped on the corner of the bench, and the bench was turned over, and his fat body fell to the ground heavily.

"Sir!"

Seeing this, the servant immediately exclaimed, and hurriedly helped Fan Qianshan up from the ground, but saw that Fan Qianshan had just landed on his face, and he had already fallen to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and also lost a front tooth......

Salt Inspectorate, Council Chamber.

Fan Qianshan chose to leave with a group of salt merchants, but most of them stayed, but it did not cause any impact, and even the atmosphere at this moment became more harmonious.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea slowly, but he was not in a hurry to say something, but looked at Chen Boren with a smile and asked, "President Chen, what do you think of the Gang Salt Method?" ”

Chen Boren knew that this was for him to make a choice, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he responded with a smile: "Lord Qincha, I am willing to become a businessman!" ”

For such a choice, the salt merchants present were not surprised. Although things are risky, they are also promising, and the benefits contained in them are enough to make people take risks.

Besides, if they don't choose to join in now, the salt trade will not be able to do it in the short term, at least in the short term, and they will not even be able to engage in this business in the future.

Lin Haoran was not happy or disappointed about Chen Boren's joining. If he had a choice, in fact, he would prefer Chen Boren to leave directly like Fan Qianshan.

He nodded politely, and then looked at Yang Dashi next to Chen Boren.

Yang Dashi had already weighed it up just now, and when he found that Lin Haoran was looking at him, he took the initiative to bow his hand and said, "Lord Qincha, I am also willing to become a businessman!" ”

"Yang Yuanwai, don't you see that brand?" Lin Haoran smiled dumbly, and asked seriously.

Yang Dashi was confused by these words, and immediately asked suspiciously: "What brand?" ”

The salt merchants present also showed puzzled expressions, and turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran, but they didn't know what he was referring to.

Lin Haoran met the confused gaze of the salt merchants, and read word by word: "The doting evil son must introspect, and there is no wealth but no virtue to come in!" ”

This......

The salt merchants suddenly realized, thinking that there was indeed an eye-catching sign at the door, which said that it was this line of words, and at this moment they couldn't help but look at Yang Dashi thoughtfully.

Yang Dashi also remembered the brand, but he pulled down his face and said, "Lord Qincha, what do you mean by this?" ”

"The merchant is hand-picked by the imperial court, and his identity as a salt merchant will be included in the directory, which is really an imperial merchant! Ben Qincha was ordered to select merchants for the imperial court, not only to look at their financial resources, but also to look at their conduct. If it is a person of bad conduct, Ben Qincha will not be promoted, and the court will not appoint him! Lin Haoran looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

These words are hard to say, and they are also in line with the standards of the times. Regardless of one's private conduct, once there is a well-known bad deed, then it will definitely be rejected by the mainstream.

Yang Dashi's son Yang Kuan committed murder in Shanxi in the past, and he also acted and directed a "Guanyin head change" scene, and it was Lin Haoran, who was the Yin of Shuntian Mansion at the time, who was brought to justice and sentenced Yang Kuan to be beheaded after the autumn.

Now Lin Haoran has used this as an excuse to list the criteria for appointing the program, and it is a reasonable and reasonable move to directly exclude Yang Dashi from the program.

In this era of extreme virtue, even those mad dog-like imperial historians would not be able to attack him, let alone cry out for Yang Dashi.

"Lord Lin, do you know who is standing behind me Yang?" Yang Dashi saw that Lin Haoran was going to exclude him from the program, so he simply tore his face and asked.

This......

Almost all of the salt merchants present were people who knew the roots, and the relationship between Yang Dashi and Yang Bo was already open and private. The reason why Yang Dashi became one of the leaders of Jin Shang was because of Yang Bo's support.

"Ben Qincha doesn't matter who is standing behind you, but anyone who misbehaves and dotes on evil sons will not be included in the program this time!" Lin Haoran responded with great toughness.

He knew who was standing behind Yang Dashi, but since he chose to enter the official career, he was ready to fight.

Xu Jie's way is a good way to be an official, but it is not suitable for him. He is in a high position at a young age, and if he wants to continue to climb up, then he cannot follow the path of gentle talk about seniority, but must stand on the officialdom with a tough attitude.

As for Yang Bo Bo not holding a grudge against him because of this, he actually didn't care too much. Yang Bo was born in the top three jinshi, and he was destined to be unable to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and his influence was mainly in the military department, and his influence in the court was not strong.

Now, when he returned to Beijing, he served as a squire of the Sixth Ministry, and he had the support of his father-in-law who was a secretary of the Ministry of Justice, so why should he be afraid of this military secretary who was born as a third-class jinshi.

"Lord Lin, the mountains and rivers have met!" Yang Dashi didn't expect Lin Haoran to not sell Yang Bo's face, so he got up and left, and said a sentence of Jianghu words.

Lin Haoran watched Yang Dashi leave, and set the tone of the selection of the Gangshang, so he turned his head to look at Yin Shangdao, the transfer envoy of the two Huai capitals next to him: "Lord Yin, you can tell you about this charter!" ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Yin Shang bowed respectfully, and then faced the salt merchants present, and explained in detail some of the conditions and procedures for entering the merchants.

This time, if you want to enter the program, there is no threshold, there are not only financial requirements, but also personal moral assessment.

At this time, many salt merchants were shocked to find that Lin Haoran had laid a foreshadowing for today's selection of salt when he was raising donations in Slender West Lake.

People like Cao Meng, who have donated a lot of money, are directly pushed to the position of the director of the program, and the salt merchants who did not participate in the fundraising can at most get a trainee status, and they need to pass the three-year assessment period before they can really enter the program.
