When Ma and Wang said goodbye and left, Wang Cuiqiao smiled and said: "Brother Hong, you have a good means, let me be the bad guy, but you yourself stay out of the matter." I don't know how to do it, but I really think you're good-tempered. Even the hatred of taking concubines was endured. How do you know the way, even if the king believes in it, they are all involved in your calculations. ”

Yan Hong smiled and said: "Sister Cuiqiao is polite, some of the Taoism among these salt merchants was learned in the house, some were taught to me by Mr. Xu, and some were not all given guidance by you?" It's also that they have earned too much money over the years, and they have eaten their brains full of fat, so it is inevitable that their brains will not be very bright. I think that the little Yama who is all over the business field is also like the ordinary people who study and become officials, they don't know the market and let them fool around? Today, the Hui merchant tax is collected, and the Western merchant tax is not collected, in order to rub sand among them. When they fight openly and secretly with each other, and deviate from morality, they will be a plate of scattered sand, and when the time comes, I will be at my disposal, and I am afraid that they will refuse to pay taxes? If the imperial court taxes the salt, the entire Ming Dynasty would not be short of money at that time. Cui Qiao, you bad guy, you are here for the Ming court. ”

Wang Cuiqiao saw Yan Hong's appearance of planning and harming people, and felt that he was much more handsome than Xu Hai when he commanded ships to fight in the past and ordered pirates and pirates to rob. She and Xu Hai originally had a relationship of living and dying together, but when Wang Zhi intervened, she was forced to leave home, and under the grief, she could only send her love to Yan Hong. Since Fang Xin belongs to someone else, it is to see what is pleasing to the eye, leaning on Yan Hong with a soft body and saying: "I don't care if the Ming Dynasty has money or not, I only know the way, and I can't let my brother Hong suffer poverty." You are a person who eats everything and spends everything, and you can't stand the grievances at all. I will lead these tens of thousands of salts into business. Save a big family business for you. ”

Yan Hong smiled: "Where do I want Sister Cui Qiao to take care of?" This business is yours. It's a godsend. The other is the expansion of the Zhejiang army. Qi Jiguang is a smart person, and he is willing to send money back and forth, and he can probably make money. But he is good at soldiers, and he spends a lot of money. I'm just afraid that they will be embarrassed for a while, and the turnover will not work, and at that time, if you have loose hands. I had to help them borrow some positions, so as not to let the soldiers of Zhejiang be constrained by money and not be able to live. ”

Wang Cuiqiao nodded and said: "Brother Hong, this property is yours, how you say how to use it, it depends on you." It's not early, let's rest early. The two of them are in love at the same time, and they also know that when Yan Hong returns to Beijing, they will see each other again, and they don't know how much time they will have to wait. Therefore, I cherish the present. After a while, beat the drums of war. stirred up the mountains and rivers, and tore them in one place.

In Xue Yanniang's room, Mo Qing'er held an abacus in her hand, and kept dialing, Xue Yanniang supervised on the side, and praised in her mouth: "My good Qing'er, it is really ingenious, and she has a good heart." Abacus, bookkeeping, cooking, female red, which one is not a matter of learning, I really don't know the blessings that Yan Hong's kid has cultivated in several lifetimes, and he can win Qing'er's favor. ”

Mo Qing'er's face flushed, and she said coquettishly: "Erniang! ”

Xue Yanniang said: "Okay, don't talk about it." You girl is tender-faced, if you go down like this, how can you fight Wang Cuiqiao and the wife and concubine in his family? I had to teach myself the skills first, you Erniang, I will teach you this ability, and promise that one day, let Yan Hong, that kid, take the initiative to chase you. When the time comes, you will dry him for a few days, so that he will know what you are suffering now. ”

Qing'er said: "Erniang, Qing'er is not bitter." Qing'er learned this, not to make things difficult for the man, but just to help the man, don't let him think that Qing'er is just an idle eater. ”

Looking at Qing'er's infatuated appearance, Xue Yanniang couldn't help but smile slightly, but remembered that last night, the rest of the three members of the family had slept, but Yan Hong went to the side room where she lived and came to knock on the door. Xue Yanniang knew that this guy had bad intentions, but somehow, she was still "tricked" by Yan Hong's clever words to open the door. After coming in, he was treated politely, but Yan Hong had already been pressed in front of the window, and he couldn't help but speak, stretched out his hand and ripped off her clothes, and then ...... Two years ago, the two fought evenly in one night in Beijing, but this time Yan Hong didn't know what kind of fairy medicine he had taken, and his bravery added three points.

If this incident makes Qing'er know about the Dao, I don't know what the Dao will be sad about. But he was helpless by Yan Hong, and the two of them had that section in Beijing, so they couldn't give up even if they wanted to. Xue Yanniang is not a hard-hearted person, she was originally excited by the thief for a while, and she had a bad fate. But now, she found that she couldn't let go of this bad relationship.

And it's no wonder. Xue Yanniang is also a woman no matter what, in front of Liu, Qing'er, Xingzu and others, she must play the role of a protector, can shelter from the wind and rain, and can do anything. In front of outsiders, she also has to make a fighting and awe-inspiring housewife's majesty. But in fact, what she thought in her heart was to find a broad and powerful shoulder to lean on and be a little woman with peace of mind.

And Yan Hong's appearance just satisfied her desire. Zhang Bancheng was aggressive, and the Mo family was at a loss, but as soon as he appeared, he laughed and laughed, and this big family was wiped out. is the old husband Mo Huaigu, although he is more reliable than Yan Hong, but when it comes to fun and means, how much worse is it? Therefore, Xue Yan's heart is also troubled, on the one hand, she hopes that the thief will no longer interact with her, but on the other hand, if the thief really does not come, she will feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratch. In this dilemma, I fell again and again, and regretted again and again.

A few days later, in the city of Yangzhou. Wei Zhijie since the Wanshou Inspection Division came back, soon went to another trip, met with Yan Hong, the two talked privately, Wei Zhifu folded the festival, shook his head and tail to Yan Qincha, and told him all the details about the salt merchants and gangs in Yangzhou. In exchange for Yan Hong's promise of "no more investigation", and tore up the part of Li Wenxiu and others' confessions about Wei Zhijie on the spot. After that, Wei Zhifu wrote a confession by himself, and at the same time covered his head and stopped coming out of the council.

Yan Hong has naturally entered Yangzhou. The original Zhang Garden on the shore of Baoyang Lake has now passed under the name of Yan Hong and has become Yan Yuan. The furnishings are as they should be, and even many of the original antiques have been left behind, and the surname has been changed to Yan. This place is used as the place where the Qin mission is stationed, and the Qin mission honor guard has been delivered, and Yan Hong simply ordered Yangzhou to be civil and military. Come to this Yan Garden.

Lin Jinfang was negative and said that she couldn't get sick. The other officials obediently came to see the chincha. Hand over the notebook and wait for the messenger to summon him. If there is a long follow-up to say: "So-and-so, the Qin mission said that your business is over, you can go back to the office, and you must not be lazy." As if he had been pardoned, he hurried away, not daring to stay. It's really too big this time, and some people in Yangzhou officialdom are suspected of colluding with the Li family brothers who are rebelling against the thieves. Who can be clean? Moreover, I don't know how many people in Jiangnan officialdom have received Li Wenzao's help, if this is a lot of melons and vines, then I don't know how many black yarns will be taken off and how many heads will be cut off!

Xiao Renxiong, the original Yangzhou Jinyi Baihu, was the most single, and he knew that he was on the wrong side this time and offended Qincha. Without waiting for Qin Cha to speak, he went to the fold and asked for his resignation, and he fell into a good beginning. The two officials in Yangzhou Mansion also knew that they were on sick leave, and they were nowhere to be found. Only the pusher didn't go to the stack, and now he has been arrested. You can see it. The prefect of Wei has already fallen ill, and this is the Qin mission to open the way for Xun Sixun's order, so they have said that Yangzhou City is full of events, and it is impossible to go without officials for a day. Xun Daling is proficient in general affairs and acts as the prefect of Yangzhou, which is the most suitable person. As for Ning Wei, Yan Hong has already written a letter of recommendation, pushing him to a future in the Zhejiang army, although for the time being, there is less income from fines, but from a long-term perspective, meritorious service and reward, and a smooth career are much better than being a patrol officer.

The transfer of the two Huai made Lu Hong's gradual involvement in this matter not deeply, plus he surrendered in time and had Western businessmen as a guarantee, so he was not affected. This Lu Yun Division also knew what Yan Hong wanted, and patted his chest and promised: As long as he is on the throne for one day, the salt number of Wang Niangzi and the salt sold will be unimpeded, and no one will dare to embarrass him. In this turmoil, he actually benefited more, and it was a foregone conclusion that Hui merchants would pay taxes, so the amount of silver in the two Huai salt classes next year would be at least doubled. This is enough to make yourself better in the exam, at least to ensure that you can serve for two more years in this fat shortage.

And Lu Hongjian also heard that now the Hubu Shangshu has been replaced by Gao Yao Gao Ziqian, who is a real strict party member. He is under the leadership of the Ministry of Households, and if he doesn't have a good relationship with Yan Hong now, it will be tantamount to wasting a great opportunity. He even proposed that he was willing to come forward and make it himself, and take the 3,000 copies of 2zhejiang salt in Yan Hong's hands and make 4,000 pieces of Huaibei salt, but Yan Hong refused. Joke? You have done this, how can you still sell smuggled salt under the banner of official salt in Taizhou?

However, although it did not work out, the relationship between the two sides was established. With a friend like Lu Hongchuan, Yu Yanhong's business will naturally be of great benefit. Wang Cuiqiao's Wang's Salt and Mo's Salt of the Mo Family also opened quickly with the help of a group of Western businessmen. Although Western merchants want to curry favor with these two, Hui merchants want to curry favor with these two even more. I heard that the big family was because he offended Wang Cuiqiao in the past, and then provoked the Mo family, and today he has become like this. Fifty-three thousand salt leads, becomes 13,000, and suddenly comes down from the position of the leader of the Hui merchants, who dares to send others to death?

Moreover, the strict payment of salt tax is clearly the driving force of Western businessmen, otherwise why only Hui merchants are levied and not Western businessmen? These Hui merchants are also thinking about revenge, but Qin Cha is really speechless, I heard that Wang Cuiqiao is Qin Cha's new favorite, and the little girl of the Mo family is Qin Cha's concubine, and there are even legends that the Mo family's second mother is a little unclear with Qin Cha. They naturally put their minds to this side, although Yangzhou is every inch of land, but some people send houses, some people send warehouses, this salt number is very smooth. In addition to the salt numbers of the two families, they also left Zao Yong to guard back and forth, just in case, Xun Si, the acting prefect of Yangzhou, directly ordered, and the princes of Yangzhou Mansion and Jiangdu County all protected the two salt numbers for me.

Wang Cuiqiao sent four healthy women to the Mo family to defend the inner house. These women are all strong women who have practiced sumo wrestling, and one of them can also play with a sword, so it is the most suitable to protect the women. On Mo Xingzu's side, Xun Si came forward to find Mo Xingzu, a professor of Su Confucianism, and assured Yan Hong that the quota for entering the official school was determined, and there must be a quota for Xingzu. Of course, this will have to wait until the young master of the Mo family is fifteen years old.

The Salt Gang is also unlucky. The fortress has always been the easiest to break through from the inside, Yan Hong has Cai Gongchong as a traitor in his hands, and the Salt Gang is a beautiful woman in his eyes, let him do it. As for the tens of thousands of gang members of the Salt Gang, dozens of good guns and sticks are useless in the face of Yan Hong's carrot and mace tactics. After all, Yan Hong is now regarded as a heavenly constitution, and he is about to draw people to the white lotus or the Japanese at every turn, and the secrets in the gang are all known, and the previous methods are useless, whether it is to send gold and silver beauties, or to throw some dead chickens and dead ducks to scare people.
