"Care for chivalrous women, Chang'e Fund, what is this thing?" Most of the salt merchants who came out of the Lianghuai Salt Administration Yamen were full of questions about this organization in their hearts. It is undeniable that those heroines are quite eye-catching, especially the temperament on their bodies, which is clear and jade, noble and cold, like fairies who have descended into the world. Compared with the thin horses in Yangzhou City, it can provoke people's hearts even more.

That hibiscus fairy came to Yangzhou to pan for gold back then. At that time, the goddess of the iceberg only sang a few songs and practiced a set of swordsmanship, which attracted the excitement of all the rich people in Yangzhou City, and the invitations to the dinner continued, and even the local Taishou and Yandao were alarmed.

It's just that Zhang Furong coped with it properly, and there was a dry red fan who guarded her from disasters and replaced her with his example, so as to keep Zhang Furong's innocence. Now that the hibiscus fairy has turned into a pet of the Qincha, no one dares to have other thoughts, so they have to stare at those little iceberg goddesses and use their brains.

It wasn't until the Chin Cha proposed this Chang'e Foundation and asked everyone to donate money that these salt merchants realized that this was probably a new way to scrape the ground. Those Western businessmen were still afraid that it was a Hongmen banquet, and there was no return, but after paying the money, they were relieved. As for what this fund is for, how to use the money, what's up to him.

Nowadays, the western merchants in Yangzhou City are Wang, Ma, Zhang, and Yang. Although the backer of the year is no longer alive, there are still many protégés and former officials in power, and there is this wealth and wealth, so he is still a luxury figure. Among the Western merchants, they are divided into Qin merchants and Jin merchants, such as Wang Cang is Qin merchants, Ma Qianjun, Zhang Shaotang, and Yang Shi are all Jin merchants. The four families communicated with each other by means of guò marriage and other means. A whole of interests has been formed, which is called the good of the Tongjia.

When he came out of the Yanzheng Yamen, Wang Cang invited the other three to his home. After sitting down, Wang Cang got straight to the point and said: "Three, although we pledge to pay money today, but is this matter over, which of us can play this package ticket?" In my opinion, we still have to follow the old way. ”

Zhang Shaotang shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, your idea is too risky, organizing the people to fight against Uncle Guo. Once this kind of thing is revealed. It's like instigating the people to revolt, and if we don't put on the big hat of a demon sect, we can't afford it. "He was sent by Zhang Siwei's family to run the salt industry, and his status in the family was not very high. Such a big responsibility. He didn't want to take it on his own. Now Zhang Siwei has died. The Zhang family's status is far less stable than it was at the beginning, and the family sent him a letter to make him cautious. Don't act rashly, and it's best not to offend your uncle. Therefore, Yu Wangcang's construction yì does not agree with it in his heart.

The other two also have this attitude, and they don't agree with Wang Cang's idea. Zheng Guobao dug a pit in Shaanxi, pitted the Qin merchants, and a large number of fields became the reward of the Huangzhuang and the battalion soldiers, and swallowed the benefits of Huamachi salt in one bite, leaving only some leftovers. Wang Cang, as the leading figure in the Qin merchants, has a deep enmity with Zheng Guobao. However, the other Jin merchant families were not affected much, and some people got some benefits from the Hetao stock turmoil, so they couldn't fight with Zheng Guobao.

Wang Cang said: "Three, you don't have to be so afraid. Dongchang Zhu's punishment has arrived, he has a deep grudge against Zheng Guobao, and he is on our side to ensure that the court will not condemn us as a chaotic party. ”

"Zhu Jinzhong is at best a punishment in Dongchang, even if Zhang Whale is added, he is just a slave of the heavenly family." Zhang Shaotang has quite an opinion on this officialdom. "Zheng Niangniang is calling for wind and rain in the palace, how can Zhang Whale fight against it? Even if you add the queen and the king, it is not an opponent. After Zhu Jinzhong arrived in Yangzhou, he collected all the firearms of several of my families, and recruited a lot of outlaws, who knows what he was going to do? For such people, it's better to take care of them less. ”

"Yes, Brother Wang, I heard that you have been very close to Murong Wuyi recently. The Murong family is just a group of gangsters, and some methods can't be elegant, what's the use of you befriending them? In my opinion, it is better to obediently break the wealth and eliminate the disaster. Like today, I think it's good. What kind of Chang'e fund, although I don't know what it does, but Qin Cha asks for money, and I give money, which is always right. As long as he collects the money and doesn't trouble me, we'll be fine. It is impossible for him to live in Yangzhou for a few years, and when the new envoy arrives in a few days, what should we do or what should we do, why make this decision? ”

Wang Cang saw that his idea was not answered, and he was secretly angry in his heart: Without you few short-sighted things, I can still avenge my family. When the three salt merchants were sent away, he instructed the chief pipe: "I will let you find as many idlers as possible, and in the next day or two, you will make trouble for me." ”

Inside the yamen, Zheng Guobao hugged Zhang Furong and said love words, just some sweet words, which already made Zhang Furong feel extraordinarily sweet, "I can't serve my husband, do you want to call those girls in......"

"No need. It's good for us to talk together. You girls teach well, you already have a point or two of your heat, work harder, in the future, two capitals and thirteen provinces, let them go and break out the sign. When the time comes, some people invite them to stand on the platform, and we can get a soft hand just by taking a commission. ”

It's also a good deal for those women. Although 80% of the income has to be handed over to the foundation, it is famous after all. has his own idol to guide the whole process, starting from the basics, and the uncle of the country as a backer and performing, these two percent have a lot of benefits. Besides, banquets and dinners, you can accompany those you want to accompany, and if you don't want to accompany, you won't accompany, and no one can rely on power to force yourself to serve, where can you find this good thing?

Zhang Furong snuggled in her lover's arms, enjoying his caresses, as for Yang Denglong, who had been tortured and didn't even look like a person, it was already a thing of the past, and it was only in some quiet nights that there would be a little ripple in Zhang Furong's heart. "The husband is very bad, those girls only saw that they didn't accompany them if they wanted to, but they didn't expect that some dinners, you want them to accompany them, and they can't accompany them."

"It is not surprising that people see benefits but do not see harm, and fish see food but do not see hooks. Let's talk about these women, what about the salt merchants? Today, Sun Xiu took the opportunity of the donation to hand over the evidence of the Western businessman's tax evasion and salt withdrawal to me, just as he could kill people with a knife. But I didn't expect that as long as I showed these things to the Western businessmen, wouldn't the Western businessmen be able to come up with the credentials for the same businessmen? I just provoke businessmen to fight each other, and I can sit back and reap the profits. You little girl, too. We must not let them be ironclad, otherwise we should think that this contract is unfair to us, and our share is too large, maybe we will have to fly solo. Therefore, we must create contradictions between them, so that they can focus on how to make themselves the most popular, so that it is difficult for them to really connect with each other, and if they want to fight with us, they can't afford to fight. also put a carrot in front of them, and said that the court was going to shoot a few big dramas, and the female number one to the female number three were all from these people. As for who to vote for and who not to vote for, you have a veto. Just this one, you can make them all come to you and don't dare to be disrespectful. ”

Zhang Furong listened to these arrangements and rested her head on Zheng Guobao's arms. "The husband has a lot of ghost eyes, and the concubine was not wronged at all when she lost before. Don't worry, I keep these women for my husband, and after my husband enjoys them, I will let them pick up other people's notes. ”

One night's banquet raised nearly 100,000 taels of donations, which can not be taken out anywhere except Yangzhou. In addition to the eight outline merchants, there are many small salt merchants and salt shops in Yangzhou in the downstream. Zheng Guobao sent people door-to-door, door-to-door fundraising, and even other buyers and sellers had to raise money, and the foundation's funds were like snowballing, getting bigger and bigger. Outside the yamen, there are more and more luxurious carriages, and all big businessmen invite a few women to dinner, but their personal freedom is under the control of Zhang Furong, so none of them are invited. Those women also knew the principal figure of the foundation somewhere, and the eyes of Zheng Guobao made Zhang Furong more and more afraid.

Less than two days later, on this day, outside the gate of the Yanzheng Yamen, many people suddenly gathered, and a banner was pulled up in their hands, with the words "Qin sent to Yangzhou, the sky is three feet high", "Return me Jia Qingtian, return me two Huai Salt Road" and so on. Seeing that the situation was not good, the deacon captain flew forward to report the news, "Uncle Guo, the big thing is not good, the people of Yangzhou, I am afraid that there will be a civil change."
