"Rumors confuse the public, it's just rumors to confuse the public!"

It was still the study in the front yard of the Jiangnan Minister's Mansion, how could the court boss at this time still have the usual Confucian bearing, and he slammed a brand-new book in his hand to the ground, and his eyes were angry and almost wanted to breathe fire.

The brand-new book that fell to the ground just revealed the cover, and the four big characters were particularly dazzling - "The Richest Man in the World"!

As a cabinet boss and an important minister, he naturally knows how much turmoil it will cause after the last volume of the book "The Richest Man in the World" is released.

Among them, the pig's foot designed the means of launching the salt patrol in Yangzhou, but he knew that Lin Ruhai's previous salt patrol imperial history was all poured on this.

If the important ministers of the court are seated in the right place, especially those who have always had a headache because of the lack of silver in the treasury, it will not end well.

What makes this cabinet boss even more angry is that the third volume of the novel focuses on describing the poverty and luxury of the big salt merchants in Yangzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "wine pond meat forest" and "flower and wine".

As far as he knew, even the first and second assistants of the cabinet, as well as the lives of the current and the emperor, were not so nourishing and so carefree.

Isn't this a blockage for the bigwigs?

What's more, the description of the pig's feet at the end of the novel is 20 million taels, which is the source of the bane.

Don't talk about others, even he was a little thrilled when he saw this paragraph.

Even pondered whether the family background of the big salt merchant in Yangzhou is so rich. The result of pondering made him feel cold, even if the family background of the big salt merchant in Yangzhou was not so rich, it was quite an incredible number.

"Let's talk about it, what will I do in the future?"

In the study, there was also a vote of confidant officials, one by one, silent, and the atmosphere was quite dull.

"The current situation, I'm afraid it can't be stopped!"

In private communication, there is no need to say those high-sounding words, someone bluntly said: "The novel "The Richest Man in the World" is too ruthless, we don't need to continue to top it for those salt merchants, we have to trap ourselves if it's not good!" ”

"I really just gave up, and there are a lot of entries every year!"

"Can you stop it, right now, I'm afraid that even the current and the emperor are red-eyed!"

As soon as these words came out, the officials present only felt a cool air rushing from the tail of their spine to the top of their heads, and they were all startled by the possible serious consequences.

After discussing for a long time, they felt that since they couldn't stop it, it was better to push the boat down the river, and with their understanding of the big salt merchants of the Yangzhou Salt Merchants Association, they could share more benefits and benefits.

To put it bluntly, they were also affected by the final plot of the novel "The Richest Man in the World", and they were red at the net worth of millions of taels of the big salt merchants.

It is not only the stakeholders of the salt merchants who are affected, but also many court forces who feel that they are strong and qualified for a piece of the pie, and have been meeting frequently in recent days to discuss how to divide the family property of the salt merchants in Yangzhou.

Even in the Rongguo Mansion, there is no shortage of such discussions.

Rarely, the old lady called Jia Cong over for questioning.

The Rongqing Hall was empty, and a young and beautiful girl had already been sent out, only the old lady, the eldest master, the second political master, and the second chain were a few.

After seeing the ceremony, the old lady was not polite, and asked directly: "The plot of your monkey's novel, which says that Yangzhou salt merchants have more than 20 million?" ”

When she said this, with the old lady's knowledge, her tone changed slightly, and it was obvious that her mood was definitely not as calm as it seemed.

Not only her, but also the three male hosts of Rongguo Mansion who were sitting there also pricked up their ears and looked over with blazing eyes.

Twenty million taels of silver!

What is this concept?

The absolute gold and silver sea, the accumulation of two generations of Guogong in Rongguo Mansion is not abundant, but compared with the family background of salt merchants, it is a small thing.

"It's not that exaggerated!"

Jia Cong chuckled and shook his head, ignoring the disappointment on the old lady's face, and said leisurely: "But my uncle mentioned to me that those big salt merchants who have accumulated several generations have almost more than 10 million family assets, which is a certain thing!" ”

Sizzle......

In the main hall of Rongqing Hall, there was a sound of gasping.

"It's a pity, Ruhai is no longer in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History, otherwise we can think of a way!"

The old lady came to her senses for the first time, shook her head and said helplessly: "Now I want to get a piece of the pie, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" ”

The eldest lord didn't care and said: "Don't think about such a good thing as the old lady, even if the brother-in-law is still in the position of patrolling the salt imperial history, let's not think about how much benefit we get!" ”

Ignoring the old lady's displeased gaze, he chuckled and said: "The position of patrolling the salt imperial history is very important, there are the present and the court staring at it, and there are places like the Jinling Zhen family in the middle, and there are few honest salt merchants below, once they do something out of the ordinary, they will immediately lose their official position and be dismissed!" ”

Although these words came from the mouth of the eldest master, they were actually the thoughts that Jia Cong had communicated with him early on and deliberately transmitted.

Obviously, the eldest master not only listened to it, but also 'revealed' it at this time, which was very popular.

"Jinling Zhen family?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded, and muttered: "That's right, they have controlled the official position of patrolling the salt imperial history for many years, and the benefits here are so rich, no wonder their family is worried!" ”

"The old lady doesn't know, when she went to Jiangnan before, her grandson found that many old people in the Jinling clan were told by the Zhen family that they wanted to participate in Yangzhou salt affairs!"

At this time, Lian Er, who had already recovered from the shock, hurriedly spoke: "Fortunately, Uncle Lin withdrew in time, otherwise if the Jinling clan asked Uncle to do something bad under the banner of Rongguo Mansion, it would be troublesome!" ”

"And that kind of thing?"

The old lady's face sank, but the next words made Jia Cong feel that she was afraid that she was hungry for profit.

"You say, if you use the power of the Jinling clan, can you participate in Yangzhou salt affairs and get some benefits from those rich salt merchants!"

Obviously, tens of millions of taels of silver have already made the old lady completely tempted.

"I don't bother to pay attention to this!"

Fortunately, the eldest master was powerful, pouted and waved his hand: "Do it, the old lady and the second child can do it together, don't pull the big house in!" ”

As he spoke, he got up and beckoned: "You two go back with me, don't participate in such a 'big event' casually, lest you don't know how unlucky you are!" ”

Chain Er hurriedly got up, said goodbye to the old lady with Jia Cong, and hurriedly left behind the eldest master.

"Boss, you bastard, you can't be angry with the old woman?"

Then the old lady reacted and let out a shout of dissatisfaction to the extreme, but unfortunately the eldest master had already left Rongqing Hall with Lian Er and Jia Cong without pausing at all......
