"The salt industry is private? What are these words? This kind of thing, that's going to kill the head, we Dongting Gang, we don't even dare to think about it, Uncle Guo, don't worry, we don't have this kind of thought. ”

In the two Huai Du Yamen, the person in front of Zheng Guobao was dressed in a scarf suit, white and fat, with a kind face. At this time, there is a saying that the emblem is all over the world, and the emblem naturally refers to the Hui businessman. Drilling the sky and Dongting, referring to the Suzhou businessman, Shi Yun: the people of the two mountains, good at goods breeding, eight directions and four roads, to go for the business for Jia, so there is a slogan on the rivers and lakes, called "drilling the sky Dongting".

These merchant gangs are not gangs in the rivers and lakes, but they are a few points more powerful than any gang. Even the Yan and Cao Gang have to count on the money of these merchant gangs to support them, so in a sense, the bosses of the Dongting Gang are much more majestic than the heads of the rivers and lakes.

For example, the person in front of Zheng Guobao, named Xi Jingchun, is a person in the long house of the Xi family in Dongshan, and in the Xi family, he is also a figure who has the final say. also has hundreds of thousands of pieces of furniture, so rich. These people have a keen sense of smell and are well-informed, and it is not surprising that they will come up at the first time.

"In addition to the seats, my father-in-law is from Suzhou, so I have to be regarded as the son-in-law of Suzhou. You say, "If I don't help you, who will I help?" However, the Lianghuai Salt Road is a big gold mine, and it is also a pit of right and wrong, so I have to weigh it again and again, and consider the importance of it, right? Didn't you see, the three young people are still eating, drinking and having fun in Hangzhou? I just don't want to involve my friends in the boat, lest they capsize and they won't be better. ”

Uncle Guo laughed. The two Huai salt laws have been abolished for a long time, leading to the loss of salt taxes in the imperial court, and the annual loss of tax silver is tens of millions. Since you are the Qincha of the whole salt method. It is also a matter of course to investigate the accumulated defects and sweep away the lawlessness. If there are rumors and slander, although people speak softly, they must also raise their arms and ask for the life of their uncle, and no one will be allowed to slander Zhongliang. ”

The interests of Shen Shixing and the Dongting Merchant Gang are deeply entangled, and when Weng Shaoshan, the leader of the Dongting Merchant Gang, died, Shen Shixing personally passed on to him. It can be seen that the friendship between the two is not trivial. Over the years. It's not that the merchants of Dongting haven't gotten the salt from the two Huai, but they have never gotten salt from the two Huai branches. The Hui merchants strictly guarded against the Su merchants who were not on par with themselves, and if they were enemies, they controlled the salt flats and did not allow the Su merchants to get salt. The Dongting Merchant Gang has not deep roots in Yangzhou. Fought a few times. All were defeated.

This time, Zheng Guobao rectified the salt method. Looking for trouble in Yangzhou, he took a drastic step to clean up the officials who were transferred to the yamen of the two Huai, from top to bottom. They all changed their own men and horses, which gave the Dongting merchants hope. The relationship between Shen Shixing's son-in-law also made them feel that this Qincha should be closer to us Suzhou people, so they actively moved closer to Zheng Guobao. Even the Zhejiang soldiers guarding the treasury were also pledged by Su merchants to donate military salaries and silver, which made the actions of this army extraordinary.

Zheng Guobao has a heart, like eating the Huama Salt Pond, the royal family will eat the whole Lianghuai Salt Farm. Since then, the salt industry has been monopolized by the royal family, no matter what kind of merchant gang you are, don't want to mix in, but the problem is that the plate of Lianghuai is too big, and it really wants to become a royal franchise. He said tentatively: "I am looking for the collection of taxes when I rectify the salt law. I don't know what to do if you are doing this salt business, how to pay this tax? ”

Xi Jingchun said with a smile: "Most of our Su merchants sell cloth, and we have run many places, and we have even been overseas. Doing business and paying taxes is a matter of course, how can you evade taxes? Speaking of which, the villain still has a reputation for being a person, but when it comes to the tax customs, I never mention it, how much should be paid. Especially Uncle Guo is Shen Ge's beloved son-in-law, we have to give Shen Ge face, right? You can rest assured, as long as this salt business, we will take over. In the first year, even if we smashed the pot and sold iron, we had to raise three million salt tax silver for the imperial court, and if there was one less, you would copy my Xi family. ”

There is no essential difference between the Dongting merchant gang and the Hui merchants, and there has never been any conscientious businessman. The Dongting Merchant Gang relied on the relationship between Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, and they did not know how much tax they evaded every year. As for maritime trade, it is smuggling, tax evasion, and the sale of prohibited goods, all of which are not in vain. It's just that if you want to take Yangzhou's plate, you have to say a little, anyway, I also said that I would make up 3 million in the first year, and as for how much I would make in the second year, I didn't promise.

"Okay, that's what I want. As long as Su Shang is willing to pay the salt tax, I will be in charge of this Huai salt business and leave it to you. It's just that you have to take your time and not rush it. In addition to the seats, we also have to go back to contact colleagues and allocate money, and only when the preparations are almost over, can we act. ”

Xi Jingchun was also very happy, and arched his hand: "Uncle Guo, don't worry, the villain will go back to contact the villagers and make up this year's salt tax first." Whether this matter is successful or not, we will have an expression of your intentions, and we in the Dongting Gang will have an expression. If it really can be done, we will give Uncle Guo 100,000 silver every year, which is your dividend, and another 100,000 silver is the mother's dressing money. ”

When Xi Jingchun was sent away, Ren Yingying's face sank. "You can promise me that the two Huai salt will be left to our son. Why did you turn your head and give it to this fat man? Could it be that they didn't know what beautiful women they sent over behind my back? ”

Zheng Guobao smiled bitterly: "Look at what you said. Have you ever seen a beautiful woman sent to Yangzhou? If you want to find a beautiful woman, there are ready-made thin horses in Yangzhou, what kind of can't you find? How much salt can our son eat, you give him both Huai salt, and you are not afraid of killing him. Don't worry, he can't run away from his wealth, but he can't ask for anything that shouldn't be. I can't believe these Dongting merchants, but at the moment, I have to rely on them to deal with the two merchants of the Western Hui Dynasty, just like I use the Hui merchants to deal with the Western merchants, that is, to use the merchants to make the merchants. ”

Ren Yingying said in her heart: What are you praising my father as the leader of the Holy Sect, whitewashing the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, isn't it for the sake of martial arts, but to control martial arts? But he already belonged to him, and when he said this again, they were not happy with each other, so they only pretended to be confused and listened. Zheng Guobao said: "Did Sun Fu's person come?" ”

"It's been here a long time ago. That Sun Fu ate a little too much of the divine pill when he was in Meizhuang, and now there is a great demand for the antidote, and he has to buy it at a large price. I have to keep 20% of the inventory I copied from Meizhuang to deal with him. What he eats alone is almost as much as the amount of ten people who eat others. According to what he said, his father's materials are almost ready, and they can be delivered in a day or two. Fleur also found a few chivalrous girls to teach in the backyard, and if she was a little successful, she just let the foundation open first. ”

Zheng Guobao couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "Phoenix still has no news?" It is said that the purchase of Ah Furong should have come back a long time ago. I left people in Henan and Hangzhou. If she arrives in those two places and knows where to look for us, but still doesn't see anyone, my heart is not steady. ”

Ren Yingying was not happy in her heart, but she had no choice but to coax with good words: "Don't worry, the phoenix is full of poison, and no one can get close." Not to mention, there is also the Gu King struggling to protect himself, even if he is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, he may not dare to compete with her, what are you afraid of? ”

"I can't say it, it's just that I'm not sure, I hope she's okay. Our cold-faced rakshasa really has two hits, and wherever he goes, there are red fans to follow. These heroines have a good capital, teach them well, and maybe they can really bring out a little Zhang Furong. When the time comes, let's use her as a cover, sign the contract, and don't worry about not making a lot of money. ”

Ren Yingying accompanied him to the backyard to watch the training, and twisted her hand on his waist, "I sue you, these women are for us to make money, and you are not allowed to eat in private, otherwise, I will beat you to death." Even if you want to eat, you have to make a contract and I'll arrange it for you. ”

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw Zhang Furong with a stern face, facing a few girls in white fairy clothes in front of her, and she was giving orders, "Looks, the most important thing is that you know your eyes?" Your eyes must be full of disdain, noble, and cold. Even if you see your sweetheart, you can't show a little warmth. Men are cheap bones, the more you ignore them, the more they treat you as a baby, if you take them seriously, they will take you seriously, understand? You must remember that your eyes are empty, and there is no one in your eyes. ”

Zheng Guobao coughed, Zhang Furong saw him coming, and a sweet smile that only a little woman had appeared on his face, and he trotted over, "Husband, why are you here?" I'm late, husband, don't blame. ”

"A few little girls, how are you training? Are there any good seedlings? ”

"Let's go back, what's ...... Do you have to inspect it? Zhang Furong seemed to be a little gloomy, and Zheng Guobao laughed: "What do you want?" I mean, if the training is a bit eyebrow-raising, it's time for us to send a post to the salt merchant to ask for a treat and raise donations. (To be continued!)
