Lin Ruhai arranged Jia Lian's affairs and went back to Yangzhou quickly, after the beginning of the year, he will start to be busy again, since Lin Ruhai has a new plan, then he will complete it step by step according to the plan.

After discussing with Lin Ruhai, Jia Min decided to quietly get rid of the dowry and property in his name, and then exchanged it for gold and silver, and asked Lin Lang to help Jia Min buy some land or mines in Luzon or Malaysia. Although it is not easy to hide from everyone's eyes and do these things, Jia Min has already thought about it, so he sold the property in his hands to Dong Fang little by little.

Dong Fang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and after he bought the Fang family's largest salt farm last year, he bought a salt well in Shudi. This salt well produces more salt than the salt farm bought from the Fang family, and now Dong Fang has gained a firm foothold among the salt merchants, faintly competing with the Fang family and the Liu family.

However, this is also the result of Lin Ruhai's support behind him, otherwise Dong Fang, a businessman without any foundation, would not be able to compare with those senior salt merchants. It's just that outsiders only know that Dong Fang has a strong backer behind him, but they have never been able to know what this backer is. Even the Liu family, who is also on Lin Ruhai's side, doesn't know where this Dong Fang jumped out.

With the two major salt merchants Dong Fang and the Liu family contributing to it, Lin Ruhai quickly completely controlled the entire salt policy, even if the Fang family came out from time to time to stir up the situation, it couldn't change the overall situation. In addition, last year, the Fang family colluded with Zhen Yingjia and participated in the assassination of Lin Ruhai, although Lin Ruhai had no evidence on the surface, and he couldn't do anything to them, but he did make a lot of small moves in private, and the other party's business was not a big blow. The most serious one was when Lin Ruhai made use of a once-in-a-century snowstorm to destroy the Fang family's two salt farms. The Fang family also suspected that someone had done something after the fact, but after checking for a long time, they didn't find any clues, and in the end they had to admit that they were unlucky.

However, the "natural disaster" suffered by the Fangjia two salt farms was after they reported the expected salt production for the coming year, and once the two salt farms were destroyed, it would take some time to rebuild them, so it would definitely affect their salt production this year. When the time comes, they won't be able to hand over so much salt, and the punishment that the Fang family will face will also be huge, which is likely to make the Fang family collapse from now on!

Old Lady Fang had fallen ill with anger because of the matter of the two salt farms, and the affairs of the family were handed over to Master Fang to deal with. Master Fang found several salt merchants and wanted them to help them get through this difficulty, but he never expected that those small salt merchants who had groveled to their Fang family in the past now looked arrogant and said ambiguous words, which really made Master Fang experience the heat and coldness of the world. Master Fang didn't want to see the ugly faces of those people, so he tried to ask for help from the Liu family and Dong Fang, he felt that it was nothing more than to pay a little more price, as long as he could survive this hurdle, there would always be a time to make up for it in the future.

The Liu family simply rejected the Fang family, the reason is that the Liu family's current salt farm has gradually been taken off, and people want to change their courts, always wearing the hat of a salt merchant, which will affect Liu Guanjie's official reputation in the future. Since people intend to gradually withdraw from the ranks of salt merchants, then the amount of salt produced by their own salt farms will not be too much, and it would be good to be able to keep it flat.

The Liu family couldn't get through here, so the Fang family went to Dong Fang, Dong Fang was very generous, saying that he would see it at the end of the year, and if there was enough excess salt in his hands, he would definitely give it to the Fang family. When Master Fang heard this, he was grateful to Dong Fang, but he didn't know that Dong Fang had dug a big pit for him, and when the end of the year, the Fang family jumped into this big pit and couldn't climb out again!

Dong Fang is a very shrewd businessman, knowing that the Lin family is his only support, not to mention that Lin Ruhai is still his savior, and he is willing to do things for Lin Ruhai. Of course, the Lin family will not let him suffer, the business of cotton and salt farms in the northwest can only be done by relying on Jia Min and Lin Ruhai. Although without these benefits, Dong Fang would also do things for Lin Ruhai, but after all, he is a businessman, businessmen are profit-oriented, without those benefits, Dong Fang would not be so dedicated!

Lin Ruhai used Dong Fang precisely because of his shrewdness and transparency, as long as such a person does not let him suffer, he will not betray you, as far as it seems at present, Dong Fang is a better chess piece than the Liu family. Although the Liu family has also helped Lin Ruhai a lot, there are some things that Lin Ruhai still doesn't dare to let them know, just because the Liu family has been a salt merchant for several generations, and can always sit firmly in the position of several major salt merchants in Yangzhou. Lin Ruhai even suspected that the person behind the Liu family was a royal person.

The days flashed by, and on February 15, Jia Min had just returned from the incense in Daming Temple when he received a message from the capital.

"The Wang family gave birth to a son two days ago, and he was born on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival! The letter also said that the little boy was born with a piece of jade in his mouth, but he died strangely! Qi Lan said while eating pastries.

After reading the contents of the letter, Jia Min smiled and said: "Now the Wang family is beautiful, did someone say that the son she gave birth to was a god descending from the earth?" ”

Jia Min has been busy dealing with the Lin family's property and his dowry these days, and has thrown the matter of Jia Baoyu's birth out of the clouds. However, this "fairy child", who has high hopes from everyone, is actually just an idiot who only likes to mix in the pile of women!

Qi Lan heard the ridicule in Jia Min's tone, and looked at her with some puzzlement, although the Wang family is not a good one, but the son of the Wang family is also Jia Min's own nephew, according to Jia Min's previous temperament, he will not implicate hatred on innocent children.

How could Qi Lan know that the son born by the Wang family failed Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's only daughter in the previous life, and let her die tragically in the flower season. If it weren't for this, Jia Min would not have held a grudge against Jia Baoyu, so that he brought out the emotions of the previous life.

Jia Min saw the incomprehension and exploration in Qi Lan's eyes, she lowered her eyes, and said with a slight smile: "The Wang family will definitely use this son he gave birth to to to go back to Rongguo Mansion, you send someone to keep an eye on her, don't let her do anything to hurt Rongguo Mansion." ”

Qi Lan's eyes flashed, and he understood that Jia Min instinctively disliked it because of Wang's calculations, so he didn't go into it anymore, and saluted respectfully: "Yes!" The subordinates will arrange good people!
