Regarding the management rights of the Le'an Salt Farm, Jiang Sheng meant to recover the salt works that were originally occupied by Zhang Hun and others by way of government repurchase, so as not to irritate them too much and cause unnecessary trouble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Le'an County's finances have been in deficit for a long time, and Jiang Sheng must not be able to come up with the money to buy back the salt farm, his method is a joint venture between the government and business, for a period of two years, the government guarantees the secret operation of the salt farm, and the income is divided between the government and the businessman.

Looking at it clearly, Jiang Sheng is a white wolf with empty gloves, earning half of the two years of income of the salt farm for nothing, of course these salt farm merchants will not accept it, the subordinate officials sent by Xia Houlan have all returned in vain, and some of them have even been beaten by the merchants.

Xiahou Lan immediately reported to Jiang Sheng: "Lord, how should I deal with this matter?" "Since Jiang Sheng officially appointed Xiahou Lan, this Xiahou Lan no longer calls Jiang Sheng as the eldest brother, but changes his name to the main father.

"My lord? Third brother, why is it called so? "Jiang Sheng is very strange.

"The family has family rules, the state has national laws, the lord is a county too guarded, how can Zilan commit it, the title of the eldest brother is inappropriate, it is to change the mouth." What Xia Houlan said is also reasonable.

"Third brother, we are brothers of the opposite sex, why do we have to see each other like this? If the foolish brother does not agree, he will be called a brother in the future. ”

"By no means, you and I are brothers of the opposite sex, it is private, military and political affairs are public, and we must not forget the public because of selfishness. The younger brother is the first, then the upward and downward effects, the establishment is the rule, and the great cause of the lord can be expected. ”

"That being the case, the foolish brother agrees, but don't forget the righteousness of the brother." Jiang Sheng didn't want to be indifferent to the righteousness of his brother because of these affairs, but if he wanted to achieve a great cause, he had to distinguish between the top and the bottom, and the master and servant were different.

"Lord, the salt farms refuse to accept the lord's proposal, how should this matter be handled?" Xia Houlan said again.

Since he got down to business, Jiang Sheng replied to Xiahou Lan's question as the lord: "You are the county in charge of civil affairs, and I only want the result of the salt farm." ”

"My subordinates understand!" What Xia Houlan wanted was Jiang Sheng's permission, as for how to deal with it, he already had a strategy, and he went to Yang Feng's camp after saying goodbye to Jiang Sheng.

In order to ensure the safety of the Taishou Mansion and facilitate Jiang Sheng's emergency use, Zhang He left 200 horsemen for Yang Feng, who was temporarily appointed as the county lieutenant, and Yang Feng has been living in the barracks for the convenience of command.

Yang Feng hadn't seen Xiahoulan for a few days, a few days ago, this Xiahoulan was still running very diligently, but she was gone for a few days, and she didn't know what she was doing.

"Yo, Lord Juncheng, what kind of wind is blowing you?" Yang Feng went out of the camp to greet him.

"Lord County Commander, I have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace!" Although Xia Houlan is young, there is no generation gap with Yang Feng, and the two had a good relationship when they were in Changshan, so they spoke more casually.

"Come, speak in the tent." Yang Feng led Xiahou Lan into the Chinese military camp tent.

"Brother Zilan, what's the matter?"

"I'm here to borrow soldiers."

"Borrowed soldiers? I don't know what to do with the borrowed soldiers? ”

"Oh, don't mention it, brother, I'm embarrassed," Xia Houlan cried with a sad face, "The lord asked me to handle the affairs of the salt farm, and I was in trouble." ”

"I remember that the lord said that he wanted to buy that, what did he buy?" Yang Feng couldn't remember that word for a while.

"Repurchase!"

"That's right! Right! Repurchase! What's in trouble with you? ”

"I sent my subordinates to talk to the salt merchants about buying back the salt farms, and guess what? Not only did they not accept the lord's offer, but they also beat my subordinates. ”

"So arrogant?! Don't worry, I'll give you a hundred rides, and I'll arrest all this stubborn guy and torture them severely! "Yang Feng can't see these profiteers the most.

"Nope! No! The Lord wants us to take it back peacefully. ”

"Then what's the use of your borrowing soldiers?"

"You can lend me fifty horses, and as for how to use them, I have my own measure."

"Well, does the lord know about this?"

"He only said that I was a county prince, and he only wanted results."

"Okay, you take the people away first, and I'll go and report to the lord." Yang Feng said, "Zhang Liuzi, you take fifty horsemen to go with Lord Xiahou, everything is arranged by Lord Xiahou." ”

The guards who were called Zhang Liuzi went in response, and picked fifty horsemen to wait in line outside the gate.

"Lao Yang, time is pressing, little brother, I'll go first, thank you later!" Xia Houlan turned on his horse and took the fifty horsemen out of the camp.

Xiahoulan's first stop is Shouguang County, Shouguang County is a number A salt farm, there are more than 60 large and small salt farms, most of the salt farms are privately operated, and it is also the place where Xiahoulan's subordinates were beaten.

After Xiahoulan arrived in Shouguang County, he ordered the county to personally send letters to the major salt farms. The county Cheng showed Xia Houlan's handwritten letter, which was to invite the owner of the salt farm to the city for a talk. After the letter arrived, these saltworks owners casually asked about the origin of the county, and the county described Xiahoulan.

"Huh—fifteen? Haha, I heard you right, right? Yang Dahai, the owner of No. 2 Salt Farm, said with a smile, "A half-grown boy who has not dried up has come to order me?" Still want to collect my salt farm? No way! If he doesn't come, if he does, I'll do it! You go back and tell him to stop. ”

This Yang Dahai is one of the people who injured the county officials the day before yesterday, before, he relied on Zhang Hun's protection, he has been domineering for a long time, and he dared to speak out in front of the county Cheng, and the county Cheng did not dare to offend Yang Dahai, so he had to leave in disgrace. There are many people like Yang Dahai, and they don't take this fifteen-year-old doll official in their eyes at all.

After the county returned to the county office, he reported the situation of sending the letter, and only the owners of more than 20 small salt farms said that they would go to the city to meet Xiahoulan in the near future.

Xiahou Lan said: "What is the attitude of the Yang Dahai who beat my subordinates?" ”

The county Cheng didn't dare to hide it, and truthfully reported to Xia Houlan, who was expressionless and motioned for the county to return home.

Early the next morning, Yang Dahai, the owner of the No. 2 salt farm in Shouguang County, was woken up by his family.

"Sir! Master! Oh no, there's a team of officers and soldiers outside! ”

"Officers and soldiers? Who is the leader? Yang Dahai asked with a yawn.

"I don't know the little one, it's a fifteen or sixteen-year-old official, looking at his clothes, the level is quite high."

"Huh? Could it be that the county Chengxia Houlan? Yang Dahai hurriedly put on his clothes and went out with his family to greet him.

Standing outside the gate was Xia Houlan, although there was a family to greet her, but Xia Houlan did not enter the hospital.

"Grass farmer Yang Dahai meets Lord Juncheng!" Although Yang Dahai said goodbye, he didn't salute, he was really crazy.

"Don't dare to be, let's go down and meet Boss Yang!" Xia Houlan said coldly.

Although Yang Dahai saw a group of people outside, he didn't take it seriously, standing at the door, he didn't mean to let Xiahoulan enter the courtyard.

"Left and right! What are you doing in a daze, so you are waiting! Xia Houlan shouted.

These guards were all warriors who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and when they heard Xiahou Lan's order, they had already pressed Yang Dahai to the ground like a hungry tiger pounced on food.
