Newspapers and weekly magazines were the first to make a difference. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the first issue of the newspaper, there was a message on the front page: In order to allow more people to enjoy high-quality and low-cost salt, Zheng Chenggong decided to set up new salt factories in Taiwan and Hainan.

It is expected that the price of salt will be cut in half next year when the new salt works are opened.

This newspaper warmly welcomes and supports the great general's good deeds.

Immediately afterwards, the monthly magazine controlled by Fang Yizhi also elaborated in detail in the latest issue the important impact of the new salt works on the lives of the people.

Under the vigorous publicity of the newspaper and weekly, within a few days, basically the people in the north and south of the country knew about it.

The people, who are dissatisfied with the high price of salt, are happy.

At the same time, Yangzhou salt merchants panicked, and several major salt merchants gathered in Jiangfu again.

Wu Ziwei said with a bitter face: "Zheng Chenggong is drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and he wants to wipe us out!" ”

Lu Cheng said fiercely: "He doesn't let us have a good time, and we don't let him have a good time!" ”

Wang Wenyan looked at Lu Wei with disdain and said, "Don't let him get better, why don't you let him get better." Zheng Chenggong has soldiers and money, what do you use to fight him! If you want me to say that the situation is stronger than people, I still sell salt to him according to the general's words. It's better to have money to make than nothing. ”

Lu Cheng looked at Wang Tengsheng and said, "Brother Wang, I don't believe that he Zheng Chenggong can still cover the sky with one hand, and we can't control other places." But the salt industry in the Lianghuai region is still what we say. Several of us joined forces and sent out a word, and whoever dared to sell salt from other drops of local salt did him. Look at how he Zheng Chenggong still controls the salt industry! ”

Wang Wenyan heard the persuasion and said: "No, Brother Wang must not do this." Doing so would be tantamount to completely offending the general. At that time, as long as he sends an army, we will die without a place to bury. ”

Lu Cheng shouted: "He Zheng Chenggong is the most hypocritical, as long as we let those scribes go out and shout a few words, it will definitely make Zheng Chenggong throw a rat trap." At that time, Zheng Chenggong can only sit down obediently and discuss with us, so that we still have profit margins, otherwise with a little money, what do we eat and drink? ”

Wu Ziwei sighed and said, "Brother Wang, I don't agree to fight hard with Zheng Chenggong. We don't have that capital, not to mention that in order to revitalize the funds, we need to borrow 800,000 taels from Zheng Chenggong. After Zheng Chenggong owned the Great Salt Farm alone, he might not be able to control it for a while. But without the escort of Zheng Chenggong's army, we also lost the market in the north, and our losses will be even greater at that time. Even if you can hold on for a while, you can't hold out for a while. At that time, we will only be in a more difficult situation. I think it's better to be soft with the general! ”

Wang Tengsheng was irritable, since Chongzhen's death, the life of Yangzhou salt merchants has become more and more difficult.

The Donglin Xue Party lost power, and without the help of these officials, the Hui merchants and salt merchants could no longer influence the policies of the imperial court.

If it was before, with the Zhu family's measurements, a few words would have been able to fool the past, and then everyone would continue to make a fortune.

I didn't expect the Manchu Qing Dynasty to be so ferocious, they didn't give a way to live at all when they went south, they killed and killed, the people of Yangzhou were basically slaughtered, and the salt merchants were not happy.

finally waited for Zheng Chenggong to beat the Manchu Qing away, thinking that a better day was coming.

didn't expect that the Zheng family was born as pirates, and Zheng Chenggong didn't know how Qian Jiyi was taught back then, and he didn't learn much about ethics and morality, so this way of doing business was even better than us old guys.

The business of the Four Seas Commercial Bank is impressive, and now it is directly involved in the salt industry, and it hit our seven inches as soon as it was shot.

Tell the Donglin School Party to come on the field and create discussions!

Before it started, Zheng Chenggong asked the newspaper weekly to make the first move. Now ordinary people know that the new salt works are being built to make everyone's life better.

In this case, how dare the people with the best face in the Donglin School Party come forward to criticize Zheng Chenggong at this time.

Wanting to control the source of the salt industry, he went to Hao and directly opened another salt factory and made salt by himself.

In the past, we helped the salt merchants monopolize the salt industry, and the price was set by ourselves. It was a very comfortable day!

Now I have to borrow money from others to get by!

Alas, I knew that when Emperor Chongzhen ordered donations to fight the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he should have contributed money and efforts.

At that time, he was short-sighted and refused to pay.

Now retribution!

Wang Tengsheng's heart turned a few times, sighed and said: "People have guns and money, and the situation is stronger than ours." We can't fight others, Wen Yan and Ziwei went to meet the general, and said that we were willing to do what he wanted, and sell him all the salt! ”

Lu Zhi heard it and said anxiously: "Brother Wang......"

Wang Tengsheng raised his hand to stop him, turned to Wu Ziwei and said, "Go ahead!" Derivation, you stay! ”

After seeing Wu Ziwei and Wang Wenyan leaving, Wang Tengsheng said: "Derivation, now Zheng Chenggong is on the momentum, maybe Zheng Chenggong will have a chance to sit in that position in the days to come!" You must not offend him at this time, do you hear? ”

Lu Zhi reluctantly shouted: "Yes! ”

Wang Tengsheng walked out of the door with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside the door and said, "Derivation!" I know you're not convinced, and to be honest, I'm not convinced. But to be a man, we have to understand the advance and retreat, and now that Zheng Chenggong is in power, we should avoid it. However, he is very talented, and we can't win. It doesn't mean that his son is the same, if you go to meet those people from the Tanglin School, you will say that we agree to join forces with them to support the Shen family's ascendancy! ”

Lu Zhi heard it and said excitedly: "Brother Wang, you agreed!" ”

Wang Tengsheng nodded and said: "You are right, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." is used to living that luxurious life, how can you settle down to live a thrifty life. Besides, we all have a big family to support, and Zheng Chenggong is cutting off our financial means by doing this. We also had to fight with Zheng Chenggong! ”

Lu Zhi heard it and said gloomily: "Since this is the case, Brother Wang, do you want to send someone to contact the north." ”

When Wang Tengsheng heard this, he immediately shouted: "Derivation, don't mention this matter again in the future!" ”

After drinking, Wang Tengsheng said softly: "Derivation, don't forget, Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, how many people we died, and how many people hated the Manchu Qing to the core. If we have anything to do with the Manchus, we will poke people in the back. And what did Jin Shang start with, you won't be unclear. We fought Zheng Chenggong, and if we failed, there was still a way to live. Contact the north and lure the wolf into the house, and then we are afraid that there is really no way to live! ”

Lu Zhi heard the sweat and said: "Yes, what Brother Wang pointed out is that the younger brother is dizzy, and he will never mention this bad idea again!" ”

Wang Tengsheng said: "Well, it's good to know it in your heart!" When contacting the Donglin School, be careful. If you have time, walk around with the Shen family more, the Shen family has never operated a salt industry before, you should guide Shen Yan more on weekdays. ”

Lu Yuan nodded, indicating understanding. (To be continued.) )
