After making a plan, they dispersed to prepare, and the official order of the imperial court had not yet arrived, but in order to prepare, Wang Yongtai specially selected 500 elite soldiers, 200 of whom would act with him, and the other 300 would follow Wang Yongan's actions - responsible for the chaos in Yangzhou again.

At this time, Luo Shitong of the Yanghua Garment Factory suddenly came to ask Wang Yongan for his guilt, and said that if he wanted to dismiss himself, he would leave immediately, and he would not hesitate for a moment. Wang Yongan smiled and asked Manager Luo why did you ask me for guilt, everything is running normally in this Yanghua Garment Factory, thanks to your front and back Zhang Luo, I need to thank you.

Luo Shitong blushed, held back for a long time and said: "The owner, the Jiangdu County Order originally ordered 10,000 pieces of filial piety, but today he came to break the contract, because he only paid a 30% deposit and paid 10% of the liquidated damages. Listening to his explanation, he said that it was because of the death of the Yangzhou prefect Sheng Daren and General Wang's extermination of the Yangzhou Cao Gang, which attracted the attention of the imperial court to everything in Yangzhou, and the Jiangdu County Order did not want to hold a funeral with great fanfare at this time, so as not to be impeached and affect himself. ”

Wang Yongan laughed when he heard this, and comforted him in turn: "Manager Luo, don't worry, the garment factory can't make money, but it can't lose any money." And I'm missing something, and this old bastard helped us. In this way, you have the workers work overtime to make a white hood, showing only the eyes and nose, and prepare me with five hundred pieces of clothing. In addition, you told the workers not to be idle, to raise the walls of the Nanzhuang garment factory, and to stock up on a large amount of food, enough for 300 people to eat for a week without going on fire. Workers in garment factories are also not allowed to be let go, and they are allowed to work in garment factories for a month and not go out. ”

"Why is that?" Luo Shitong was surprised.

"Don't ask, just do it, keep it strictly confidential." Wang Yongan said.

"Yes, host." Luo Shitong nodded.

On the other hand, Wang Yongan's recruitment of the old Cao Gang was also gradually launched, he found the tooth man Jin Dabao, and asked Jin Dabao to recruit all the original people of the Cao Gang, and promised to add one percent to the salary. The people of the Cao Gang spent these days in fear, thinking that the imperial court would settle accounts with them, but they didn't expect that a few days later, Cao Yun was reopened, and the Cao Gang became Yanghua Shipping Company, and the original gang leader Long Peifu also became the acting general manager Wang Yongan, and everything had not changed.

When Wang Yongan really got involved in Caoyun, he found out that in fact, the most profitable thing for Caoyun was not to transport grain for the imperial court, but to sell illicit salt. Since ancient times, Yancheng County, Dongtai County and Rugao County in Jiangsu Province have been important producers of sea salt, and salt merchants have used Yangzhou, which is convenient for water transportation, as a distribution center, and also facilitated the sale of private salt. As the monitoring capacity of the imperial court became weaker and weaker, the smuggling of this illicit salt became more and more rampant.

Many salt dealers just bought a number in the Salt Transportation Division, and then pulled one ton of official salt and four tons of illegal salt for sale, so the Cao Gang played an immeasurable role in it. It's just that in the past, the Cao Gang only collected protection money, that is, they did not get involved in it, and they did not participate in the process. However, a few years ago, this quiet trade changed, and the Cao Gang began to meddle in the sale of illicit salt, and even took the initiative to compete with salt dealers for salt routes. The reason why Long Peifu bought so many guns was probably to use them against other salt dealers, but he didn't expect this to become a pretext for rebellion.

Wei Wenkang and Hou Gan's extortion work also went quite smoothly, and he was afraid that the account book would be sent to the imperial court, so he spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy it, which was the first start-up capital of Yanghua Shipping Company. Wang Yongan was curious about how this thickening would cost 100,000 taels of silver, Wei Wenkang said: "Speaking of which, it is still thanks to the nursery rhymes on the street recently. ”

"What nursery rhyme?"

"Wang Yan Wang Zhen Yangzhou City, Yin soldiers and Yin generals will not dare to move."

Wang Yong'an laughed, this nursery rhyme was spread by Liu Tong himself, first let the little beggars sing it, the little beggars sang it and influenced the children, and then the whole Yangzhou City is this kind of nursery rhyme.

Wei Wenkang said: "Although this thickening is insatiable, but he is also greedy for life and afraid of death, he is afraid of offending General Wang, and he will clean him up in the Netherworld Mansion in the future, and offer 100,000 taels of silver." I don't think it hurts at all for that guy to take out 100,000 taels of silver, and I guess the family has more money than this. ”

Wang Yongan touched his chin and smiled, and said in his heart I thought that the salt envoy was rich, but I didn't expect the salt envoy to be so rich, and I knew that it should be knocked hard. Suddenly, someone came to report that an officer named Fang Xianwu had come to vote, and Wang Yongan was very happy and immediately ran out to receive him.

This Fang Xianwu is not too famous in history, because this person is good at logistics and military supplies, and has written professional books on baggage logistics such as "Research on One Hundred Problems of China's Baggage", and this person entered the quartermaster department under the strong recommendation of Duan Qirui, responsible for overall deployment, and was awarded the rank of major general after the establishment of the Republic of China. When Duan Qirui was in power, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the Beiyang government for his meritorious work in preparing the "war army", and later became unknown because of Xu Shuzheng's dumping. This person's talent does not lie in marching and fighting, but baggage logistics is more important than marching and fighting, how can Wang Yongan let go of such a talent.

Fang Xianwu was a little overwhelmed by Wang Yongan's enthusiasm, but both of them were fellow villagers in Yangzhou, so the relationship naturally became close. At the beginning, Fang Xianwu was also thinking about not continuing to fight in the water camp and looking for his own way out, but later received an invitation from Feng Heng, because his position needed to explain many aspects, so it was delayed for more than a month before he came.

Wang Yongan asked: "General Fang, my second brother is anxious about the revolutionary party in the past few days, and you should rest at home for a few days. ”

Fang Xianwu frowned, puzzled, but his personality was dull, so he just nodded and said goodbye with a smile.

"I didn't expect this general to be a stuffy gourd." Wang Yongan said with a smile.

After everything was ready, he waited for the order of the imperial court, but the order was delayed, which made everyone's hearts empty, and they always felt that there was a guillotine hanging above their heads, which caused Wang Yongtai to scold: "Dead and not dead, alive and not alive, the court is giving a happy word." ”

Wang Yongan sensed that the subtle changes must have arisen within the imperial court, and most of this dispute involved the dispute between the Manchu and Han dynasties and the military and political disputes, as well as the disputes between the conservative internal affairs government and some radical reformists.

It was in this waiting that Yanghua Shipping Company was formally established, and the first general manager of Yanghua Shipping Company was nominated by Wang Yongan as Luo Shitong, the former general manager of Yanghua Garment Factory.

Luo Shitong ran the garment factory in an orderly manner, and even there were two ready-to-wear stores on the street, and the emergence of ready-to-wear stores was gradually breaking the clothing production habits of the late Qing Dynasty, and the cheongsam valued by Wang Yongan was also in the trial sale stage. After the cheongsam made by Gu Shizhen appeared on the market in Shanghai, it was first photographed by foreigners in Shanghai, and many foreign women thought that the cheongsam was more oriental and mysterious. The try-on of foreign women has gradually attracted the attention of many wealthy women, and the thinking that foreigners like foreigners think that good is really good has unexpectedly made cheongsam popular.

Yanghua Garment Factory left Wang Yongan's backing, but gradually unfolded under the leadership of Luo Shitong. After Luo Shitong left Yanghua Garment Factory, he recommended Gu Shizhen as the new general manager of the garment factory, and Gu Shizhen under the influence of Luo Shitong, let go of his mind and boldly tried a new sales concept, through his years of experience in clothing, Yanghua Garment Factory became famous in the Yangtze River Basin.

Wang Yongtai does not care about business, and other shareholders do not know about business, so he has not received any doubts or objections to Luo Shitong's appointment. And Luo Shitong is also very angry, after taking up the post of general manager of Yanghua Shipping Company, the first thing he did was to plead for the release of a large number of Yangzhou Cao Gang detainees.

Wang Yongtai pretended to scare him, and then Luo Shitong came forward to be a good person and bought the hearts of the Yangzhou Cao Gang, so that Yanghua Shipping Company had a large number of loyal supporters in the initial formation stage. Even if some people hate Wang Yongtai and Wang Yongan, they are very admired and grateful to Luo Shitong, and when some people oppose shipping companies, many people stand up to support Luo Shitong.

Luo Shitong's second trick to attract people's hearts was to regularize the salaries of the employees of Yanghua Shipping Company, and he set 17 salary levels for employees, each of which was only two dollars of silver.

For many of the former Yangzhou Cao Gang workers, the change in pay gave them a new motivation, thinking that working in the original Cao Gang, except for a few who were at the helm and received high salaries, only the small leaders were occasionally rewarded. Most of the income of the Yangzhou Cao Gang was spent on bribes and Long Peifu, and the Cao Gang workers worked hard to make a living, and could only barely support themselves.

Now after the salary level of Yanghua Shipping Company's employees is revealed, everyone has a rush to life, the higher the level, the higher the salary, the salary of the first-level employees can support themselves, and the wages of the second-level employees can live well.

Luo Shitong used the salary level of employees to eliminate everyone's hatred for the destruction of the Cao Gang, and let them focus their attention and energy on competing with each other and striving for a higher salary level.

Wang Yongan admired Luo Shitong's two moves, it seems that the people of Zhejiang Province will do business really deserve their reputation, after two moves, Yanghua shipping company in just three days on the right track, five days after the entire Yangzhou shipping back to normal, as if Yangzhou Cao Gang no longer exists.

Thickened was greatly surprised, under the tandem of Wang Yongan, signed a transportation contract with Yanghua Shipping Company, and from then on, the salt transportation and transportation of the imperial court were handed over to Yanghua Shipping Company. After learning about the company's cooperation with the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division, the company's directors were excited and just waited for the dividend at the end of the year.
