The words of the head of the Lin family spoke the hearts of all the salt merchants present. Although they encountered temporary difficulties in Henan, these salt merchants all came through the wind and waves, and they did not have any special worries about resolving the contradiction with Wu Shigong. Because to solve this problem, it is nothing more than a matter of time, and it is nothing more than a matter of spending money. And this is not a big problem for these salt merchants.

Now the key question is that the Qi family who had a bad relationship with Wu Shigong this time, they must shrink and give up some areas of salt sales in the territory controlled by Wu Shigong, and which salt merchants will fill these areas?

And how many gifts can the Qi family come up with to eliminate the anger in Wu Shigong's heart? Because to make up for the relationship with Wu Shigong, it is necessary to use real money to speak, and empty words will not play a role at all.

But those salt merchants, thinking that under their own pressure, Qi Chun'an would have to struggle a little, but they didn't expect Qi Chun'an to look calm, and said slowly: "This time the family changed suddenly, and the little nephew was already disheartened. The salt business of Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion, the little nephew doesn't want to interfere anymore. But this time, in addition to the little nephew's Qi family, there are several colleagues who have suffered huge losses. What's even more worrying is that according to the news inquired by the little nephew, the salt goods of Changlu have now entered these two prefectures. If this goes on for a long time, our salt merchants in Yangzhou will never be able to take back these territories. ”

"Also, today is what we colleagues in the salt industry are chatting about. But in addition to our losses, the behavior of Wu Garrison of Runing Mansion also harmed the interests of Lord Guan of the Salt Transport Envoy. If we just bow to Wu Shoubei so boldly, then where do we put Master Guan? Then should the order of the salt industry in the imperial court be observed? ”

Qi Chun'an's words were very informative, so that all the salt merchants present had to work hard to digest them. And at this moment, no one is in a hurry to speak.

First of all, what these salt merchants didn't expect was that Qi Chun'an was so bold, like a strong man with a broken arm, he immediately decided to give up the salt markets in Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion.

And his behavior caught the salt merchants who decided to let the Qi family give up some salt markets by surprise. Because, now the question is not to force each other, but how to distribute the vacated salt market.

In other words: Qi Chun'an's step back this time has transformed the contradictions between those salt merchants and the Qi family into contradictions between the salt merchants themselves. But the Qi family stayed out of the matter for the time being.

Then, Qi Chun'an reminded these salt merchants that the salt merchants from Changlu had begun to seize the territory of the salt merchants in Yangzhou. If the Yangzhou salt merchants fight again, it may be that even if they are allocated to the vacated salt sales area, those areas may also be filled with salt goods provided by the Changlu salt merchants.

When he arrived in Zuihou, Qi Chun'an also emphatically hinted that Wu Shigong's behavior not only harmed the interests of Yangzhou salt merchants, but also harmed the interests of the salt transportation envoy. If the salt merchants in Yangzhou make too many concessions, it will definitely offend the salt transportation envoy.

It should be said that in such an unfavorable situation, Qi Chun'an was still able to use such a method, and he could indeed be called shrewd and capable. For Wu Shigong, who has the hatred of killing his father and the revenge of taking money, Qi Chun'an is indeed helpless in a short period of time. But Qi Chun'an will definitely not make Wu Shigong very proud, so he will use these few words to bury some knots in the hearts of those salt merchants.

However, Qi Chun'an's intentions are not unnoticed. Seeing that the other salt merchants stopped talking, the head of the Lin family waved his hand and said, "Other things can only be seen from a side." Let's discuss how to deal with the aftermath here. ”

The idea of the head of the Lin family is to cut through the mess quickly, and ask those salt merchants not to look ahead and backward, and don't think about other issues, first allocate the salt sales area vacated by the Qi family.

The words of the head of the Lin family were obviously to the point, and the salt merchants present immediately became active. Qi Chun'an saw that he had not fully achieved his goal, and he could only sigh secretly in his heart, sit aside, and listen to his nose and nose.

And when the salt merchants of Yangzhou were gathering, Wu Shigong was also talking with Xue Zhinong, the leader of the Shanchuan Division.

Zhang Rubao and the members of the action team have returned to Runing Mansion, and just now, Wu Shigong has met with these team members and praised them. And after that, Wu Shigong also took this opportunity to chat with Xue Zhinong alone about the Shanchuan Division.

"Zhinong, this time your Shanchuan Division has done a really good job. In addition to the fact that the task force did a good job, you also did a remarkable job of collecting information about the salt merchants and assisting the army in fighting those salt merchants. It seems that when you were placed in the position of the leader of the Yamakawa Division, you were also put to good use! ”

"Uncle, you have won the prize." Although Xue Zhinong was humble in his mouth, his happy expression couldn't hide it, "This is also the life of the small one's subordinates, and the little one really doesn't do much." ”

"Oh? Since you say so, then I won't reward you this time. Wu Shigong was obviously in a good mood, so he joked with Xue Zhinong.

Xue Zhinong also accompanied Wu Shigong and laughed for a while. "But uncle, although this time the matter is quite proper, but this Shanchuan Division has only set up a framework until now, this manpower is lacking or anything, and the Shanchuan Division is not completely distributed in Henan. It's the action team, and their training needs to be improved. ”

Wu Shigong smiled and nodded: "It seems that your mind is still very clear, so I will be relieved to be aunt now." Let's say, while my uncle is in a good mood today, if you need any help, just tell my uncle. ”

Xue Zhinong immediately smiled, the purpose of what he said just now was to ask Wu Shigong to support Shanchuan Si more. "In other aspects, the small ones can be overcome, but the money is too tight. This recruitment requires silver, and the distribution also needs silver. And this time, the Yamakawa Division is going to set up a new line in Runing Mansion, which requires more silver. The little one also roughly calculated, and the 10,000 taels of silver given by my uncle were not enough at all! ”

"Don't cry poor. Don't think that Uncle I don't know, this time your Shanchuan Division took action, and from those salt merchants, you can get a lot of private goods. I don't care about it, uncle, even if those private goods are subsidized by your Yamakawa Division. Now my aunt and I are here, and everywhere I am reaching out to me for silver. Don't you know, you Shan Chuan Division here, you can have 10,000 taels of silver every year, you don't know how many people have been blushing. ”

Wu Shigong still has to knock Xue Zhinong. Although this Shanchuan Division is in the dark, his strength is quite strong, and his independence is particularly strong, so Wu Shigong not only made Xue Zhinong the leader of the Shanchuan Division, but also arranged several dark lines to guard Xue Zhinong in the Shanchuan Division.

And Wu Shigong's beating this time is to let Xue Zhinong understand that Wu Shigong is not letting the mountains and rivers go, especially Xue Zhinong himself, so that Xue Zhinong's ambitions should not swell.

After Xue Zhinong listened to Wu Shigong's words, he had no choice but to nod stupidly. However, Xue Zhinong still did not give up, and he then said to Wu Shigong: "Uncle, the younger one also knows that the family's money is tight. But the little one still has a way to get silver, I hope your nod from you, uncle. ”
