"Big brother didn't mention it, I was about to talk about it." Changsun Hongdao: "Fushun and Lingjing two salt prisons, there is not much damage, in addition to many pavilions escaped, the skeleton is not scattered, these days the two prisons are vigorously appeasing the returning pavilions and refugees from northern Sichuan, gathering manpower, about a month or so, can resume production." ”

"It's so good, but it's easy to find, the salt comes out, and it has to be sold to become money, and this piece of ...... is sold" Wang Kui looked at Changsun Hong again.

"Ruifuxiang General Store has moved to Lin'an, but I have already sent people over, let them transfer some capable people, responsible for the sale of salt products here, people have arrived in Fushun and Lingjing, I am ready to go over tomorrow, make specific arrangements." The eldest grandson replied, also looking at Wang Kui: "It may involve the interests of some others, and the eldest brother must be mentally prepared." ”

Wang Kui's heart jumped, he naturally understood what Changsun Hong meant by this.

Profiteering and exclusivity in the salt industry will inevitably lead to many unexpected consequences.

In the past, the salt profits in Sichuan were all participated in by many big salt merchants with deep backgrounds, everyone showed their magic powers, and they all got a piece of the pie in it, the salt profits were huge, everyone was full, even if there were some small frictions, they were also big and small under the transactions of the bigwigs behind them, and there would be no chaos.

But Rui Fuxiang is now going to swallow the whole cake in one bite, and the salt merchants will definitely not give up easily.

Even though the salt merchants ran away because of the arrival of the Mongols, as soon as the situation slowed down, these people would come back, and suddenly found that the business of eating was occupied by Rui Fuxiang, who suddenly appeared, and this breath could not be swallowed.

Intercepting people's financial routes, such as killing their parents, as long as the eldest grandson Hong insists on monopolizing Xichuan Yanli, there is no way to mediate.

In the past two days, all kinds of people have found Wang Kui's door, and there are soft knives and hard relationships, Wang Kui is a little unbearable, so when he said this, in fact, he also had the intention of letting Changsun Hong quickly put up the shelf, and came up with a way to cut off these people's thoughts.

However, when Changsun Hong said this, Wang Kui's heart still jumped suddenly, he understood Changsun Hong's style of doing things, once he wanted to do it, he would do it absolutely.

I don't know what kind of mess will happen, he thought worriedly, but Changsun Hong will not leave a dead mouse for Wang Kui when he does things, and it is easy to help Wang Kui up, because this kind of thing makes Wang Kui difficult to do, and it is not worth it.

So Wang Kui nodded with a complicated mentality, and advised: "Second brother, be careful, those salt merchants all eat people and don't spit out bones, and there are people behind them, and they won't care about the consequences if they are in a hurry." ”

Changsun Hong laughed and patted his hands on the table: "Don't worry, big brother, I am a barbarian, barbarians are barefoot, are barefoot still afraid of wearing shoes?" ”

The words were full of confidence, relaxed and safe, and did not take the salt merchants who others regarded as tigers in their eyes.

Those who dare to face the Mongols face to face do have the courage to do so. Wang Kui looked at him and sighed in his heart.

Early the next morning, Changsun Hong left Chengdu with a thousand barbarian soldiers, and he left the rest of the soldiers behind, led by Jiulong Langruo, and obeyed Wang Kui's orders. After all, relying on the more than 1,000 Hanzhou soldiers of Wang Kui's family alone can't control the scene.

The Rongzhou regimental training made things very busy, but he was busy with things that he didn't even know what the governor of Rongzhou was, but Changsun Hong's background and his relationship with Wang Kui, he knew a little, as can be seen from Wang Kui's preference to make a detour to come to Rongzhou to wave his army north with Changsun Hong.

So where did the eldest grandson Hong go, when he would come back, how to carry out the Rongzhou group training, Rongzhou Zhizhou didn't care, he was his own official in a muffled voice, and he was a peace lord in charge of his own affairs.

So when Changsun Hong appeared in Lingjing Prison, the governor of Rongzhou didn't know.

Of course, the salt merchants who gathered here did not know.

They were sitting in the second hall of the salt prison yamen, chatting with the new supervisor Wu Zhaozu.

"Why do you want to let the salt of Xichuan be operated by Rui Fuxiang's family? Isn't that messy? A fat-headed and fat-faced salt merchant shouted excitedly, waving his mink's warm hat indiscriminately, looking very angry: "We have been doing business here for decades, and it is unreasonable for it to monopolize it as soon as it comes!" ”

"There is someone behind them, and there is no one behind us?" Another salt merchant who was also rich and graceful echoed: "Rui Fuxiang is not afraid of being greedy and unable to swallow more?" Chewing your own tongue? ”

"Rui Fuxiang's owner is called Ran Daqi, it was originally a paper business workshop in Hezhou City, Gongzhou Prefecture, and the business has become big over the years, the stalls can be spread, and all kinds of rice, grain, cloth, and leather goods are being done, and I heard that even the imperial city has their trade." The third salt merchant echoed: "I know all the details of them, they are a big trading house, but this salt profit is an iron plate, and those who do this business are not rich, and Rui Fuxiang will definitely not be able to take it down." ”

"That's exactly what happened!" The salt merchants surrounded the prisoner Wu Zhaozu and shouted: "Lord Wu, you can't let Rui Fuxiang succeed easily!" ”

Wu Zhaozu was sweating all over his head, and he couldn't sit still, so he stood up and pressed the many rich salt merchants again and again: "Everyone, everyone, I understand what you mean, I understand, but this is the arrangement of the top, and I can't be the master, you have words, and there will be a senior official from the control envoy to come over, you tell him to go." ”

"You are a prisoner, according to the reason, the household department is directly under the department, here you have the final say, who else do we have to talk to?" A salt merchant angrily asked, "Do you have to ask Lord Li from the Salt and Iron Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs to come and ask in person?" ”

"Li Langzhong is in charge of the country's salt and iron, and he has every opportunity, why should he alarm his old man?" Wu Zhaozu hurriedly smiled, and gave up his hand at this salt merchant, he recognized this person, he was Li Chengyuan's brother-in-law in the Salt and Iron Division of the Household Department, and the salt supervisors everywhere had this person's business, Li Chengyuan was not a small eunuch who could afford to offend: "Besides, in Sichuan, the salt and iron are managed by the Ministry of Production, and it is inconvenient for the Household Department to interfere." ”

"So what?" The salt merchant slapped the table, stood up and said, "If the household department can't manage it, can the envoy make a mess?" Even if it is sued to the Privy Council and the official's family, I can afford this lawsuit! ”

"Good! Wang Weng has courage! ”

"Wang Weng, count me in! I don't have anyone next to Zhang's house, and there are some ways in the Privy Council! ”

Someone took the head, and immediately someone coaxed, and a dozen or so salt merchants shouted excitedly, shouting and shouting, almost toppling the roof.

Supervisor Wu Zhaozu stood helplessly to the side, his face was not embarrassed by contempt, on the contrary, there was some inexplicable joy, he blinked, and looked at a salt merchant standing aside without moving, it was his own uncle.

The two looked at each other and knew it.
