Chapter 123: The Usefulness of Ancient Mansion Ruins

"I don't know what the old lady thinks, and she dares to participate in such a thing!"

Back in the study room of the main courtyard of the General's Mansion, the eldest man sat down and said angrily: "The current Yangzhou salt merchants have become big fat in the eyes of the court, how can Rongguo Mansion interfere at will?" ”

This is what I said to Chain Er, who told this guy to be in a trance until now, obviously still shocked by the wealth of Yangzhou salt merchants.

Chain Er obviously listened to it, his face turned a little pale, and he nodded in agreement: "What the master said is true!" ”

"You kid is honest in the criminal department!"

The eldest man was angry and said: "Don't be fooled, you will be stupid and stand out, now the court is staring at Yangzhou salt merchants, you kid don't wade into such troubled waters!" ”

"How is it possible, the old man is too worried......"

"How is it impossible, if someone wants to make some deals with Lin Ruhai privately through you, by the way, will they give you some benefits?"

"This ......"

Jia Cong smiled and looked at the eldest master reprimanding Chain Er, and his heart was indescribably relaxed and happy, the eldest master is still very effective when he uses it.

Since the novel "The Richest Man in the World" was written, he guessed that there would be such a situation, and he got angry with the old man early.

After all, wealth is moving!

If it's a scale of hundreds of thousands of taels or millions of taels, it's just that, although it will still attract people's eyes, but it will never go crazy.

However, the salt merchants' family assets are at least millions, and there are more than one or two families in the tens of millions, even the current emperor and the cabinet bosses who have already reaped the benefits will not turn a blind eye.

As for the huge impact that Yangzhou salt merchants may have suffered, and even the foreseeable destruction of their families, Jia Cong did not feel the slightest guilt or uneasiness in his heart.

It's not that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, he learned through Lin Ruhai that these salt merchants have bloody lives in their hands one by one, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as extremely evil.

Some episodes, because they may involve too wide, Jia Cong did not write them into the novel, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know.

It is said that the salt merchants in Yangzhou are so rich, and they have already completed the bloody accumulation of capital, so they should start paying attention to their own reputation and slow down the exploitation of salt farmers.

On the contrary, no matter how rich these Yangzhou salt merchants are, for the low-level salt farmers who provide salt, they are all kinds of means, the purpose is to frantically reduce costs, and they don't care about the life or death of salt farmers.

For the bottom of the salt interest chain, there is no mercy, willing to waste all the money on eating, drinking and having fun, and even throwing it directly into the Qiantang River in order to fight for wealth, and is unwilling to share a penny of the bottom salt households.

Not only is it crazy to squeeze the subordinates, but when selling official salt, they often carry a large amount of private salt, and sometimes they are even crazy to the point that there are more private salts than official salt.

The cost of private salt is naturally much lower than that of official salt, at least there is no need to pay the government's layers of fees, and salt merchants can obtain greater profits.

During this period, there are not too many people who have been implicated and stripped to death because of interest disputes, or who have lost their lives in various accidents, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are many blood debts.

In this way, the salt merchants made a lot of money, the salt farmers at the bottom lived in misery, and the imperial court also lost a staggering amount of salt taxes.

Knowing this, how can Jia Cong have a good impression of Yangzhou salt merchants?

Not to mention, when he was in Yangzhou, because of Lin Ruhai's relationship, he and the salt merchant almost fought for their lives, what happened to writing a novel to expose the inside story?

If the Yangzhou salt merchant is unlucky, he is even more happy to see it!

The salt merchant group is simply lying down to make money, and it is not irreplaceable, what is there to feel guilty about, but it is just a wave of new people.

The novel "The Richest Man in the World" has ended, he can pat his ass and relax, as for the storm caused by the novel, Jia Cong doesn't care.

Again, it's just a novel.

It's good to have fun listening to it, but it has nothing to do with him.

Although the novel has been completely finished, Huiyou Bookstore released the full version of the novel book for the first time, and it sold quite well.

Moreover, more book reviews were also sent to the editorial department of the bookstore, among which there were many remarks about shouting and killing Yangzhou salt merchants, and Jia Cong didn't care too much, as long as he didn't name the ginseng rooster, they were all put on the review version of the booklet.

When communicating with Si Ding, the prince of the King of Chu, this sect disciple couldn't help but relax, and said with a smile: "The novel "The Richest Man in the World" is finally over, and there is no need to worry about it in the future!" ”

Jia Cong disagreed, and said with a smile: "A novel is a novel, no one expected it to make such a big wave, it can only be said that reality is more like a novel than a novel!" ”

"That's right!"

Si Ding thought so, and said with a leisurely smile: "I'm afraid that the court is going to be in chaos for a while, it's all caused by your kid's novel, I'm afraid it's going to fall into the eyes of the court boss!" ”

"Interesting?"

Jia Cong sneered: "I don't know what these court bosses who pay attention to my small role are thinking, I don't have the idea of climbing the pole!" ”

"That's good!"

Since the end of the novel, after saying those words, Si Ding, the prince of Chu Wang, has not come to the Huiyou bookstore for half a month, and of course the contact between the two has not been interrupted.

Jia Cong didn't think much of it, this guy could help resist a lot of pressure, even if he gave enough face, there was no need to pull hard, it would be annoying.

The palace guard who was shoehorned around him retreated, Jia Cong has been a lot more idle recently, although he still nests in the Huiyou bookstore every day, but more time is spent on instructing the younger brothers in their homework.

As for the waves caused by the novel "The Richest Man in the World", he is not much interested in understanding it, and even if he wants to know it, there is no reliable channel.

It's just that I didn't expect that the waves outside hadn't spread yet, but the old lady was moved to take advantage of the salt merchants in Yangzhou.

But how can the cheap salt merchants in Yangzhou be so easy to take advantage of?

Fortunately, I had a plan with the eldest lord in advance, and the eldest lord himself was not very interested in this, or he didn't have the courage to participate in such a thing, and the otaku has never had much courage.

With the big man in front, although he may not be able to stop the old lady's thoughts, it also prevents Jia Cong from falling into the whirlpool.

After all. The novel "The Richest Man in the World" was written by Jia Cong, and fools can see his relationship with Lin Ruhai, what if the old lady forced him to find Lin Ruhai to dredge the way to the south of the Yangtze River?

No, Jia Cong has to return to the main world early.

Now that there is a big master in front of him, he can easily deal with it, or he will not wade into troubled waters, but before the aftermath shock is over, it is not good to take the initiative to meet Lin Ruhai.

Fortunately, through Old Butler Lin, the contact between him and Lin Ruhai has not been interrupted, and there is no need to worry about accidents......
