The Sun family of salt merchants, under the rule of Yangzhou Mansion, is the first wealthy family in Jiangdu.

Unlike the other five salt merchants, the Sun family did not rely on the Jinling Zhen family, but worshiped under the door of Sun Shenxing, a weaver in Hangzhou.

After all, both families have the surname Sun, maybe they were still one family five hundred years ago. In order to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, Sun Bolin, the former head of the Sun family, knelt at Sun Shenxing's feet with 100,000 taels of silver as a son and nephew, and only then did he obtain the qualification of a salt merchant.

Don't underestimate the five-grade Hangzhou weaving, Sun Shenxing to put it bluntly, is the secret agent of the emperor Liu Ji'an in Jiangnan, the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the officials at all levels in Jiangnan, all give three points of face.

Since the Zhaowu period, the Sun family has developed from an obscure small businessman to one of the six major salt merchants in Jiangnan, the deputy head of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the first wealthy family in Jiangdu.

In recent years, the Sun family has relied on the profits of salt merchants to develop rapidly, and at the same time, it has also sent countless gold and silver to the Sun family of Hangzhou Weaving Mansion.

Sun Shenxing even used the gold and silver sent by the Sun family to make up for the deficit of hundreds of thousands of taels owed by his family in the household department, which shows that the profits of the salt merchants are amazingly large!

The carriage creaked forward, and Jia Cong, who was originally sleepy, widened his eyes after listening to what Jia Lian said.

"The Sun family is so rich? That's at least tens of millions of taels of silver! ”

After getting confirmation from Jia Lian, the little fat man immediately thought of what Lord Yuezhang told him yesterday: The six major salt merchants controlled the price of salt, hoarded Juqi, and harmed tens of millions of people. People don't eat salt, and they are weak. What do the people want? It's not the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but a mouthful of salt!

"What Second Brother Bao said is really right, the court is really full of national thieves and beetles! These people eat the flesh of the common people, drink the blood of the common people, and eat one by one with fat brains and intestines. In just a few years, the Sun family has tens of millions of family assets, and they also support Hangzhou weaving ...... Damn it! Damn it! ”

"The national thief?"

Jia Lian stretched out his hand and patted Jia Cong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "There are many national thieves, can you kill them all?" ”

"Why can't you kill them all? If he has a knife in his hand, he will definitely kill all the thieves in the world! ”

Jia Cong touched the imperial goose knife on his waist, and his immature face was full of solemnity, which made Jia Lian wonder.

He didn't say any more disappointing words, after all, his younger brother was still young, and there were some things that Jia Lian himself thought was almost impossible, so it was better to leave a piece of pure land in his heart for this young brother.

……

Jiangdu County is close to the canal and is the second largest county in Yangzhou Prefecture.

The wealthy families in the county are not much less than those in Yangzhou City, and Jia Cong, who was still indignant, was attracted by the dazzling gadgets on the stalls of the shops in Jiangdu City at this time.

"Second brother, that mud doll is so interesting, that little fat man is only wearing a red belly pocket......"

"Huh? It turned out to be a grinding and drinking, so let people buy it. It's a bit like when you were a child, one summer, you were crawling around with only a red belly wearing a five-blessing red belly, and you almost fell into the fish pond to ......"

"Huh? How come I don't remember? ”

"You're only a year old, how can you remember? At that time, your grandmother didn't care, and I fished you out of the muddy water! ”

"It's still ...... second brother who loves me"

"Alas, I just can't see my brother being bullied by his subordinates......"

For a while, the brothers fell into memories, and in the past few years, both of them have had grievances, unwillingness, and confusion.

In the future, there may be a small dispute between them, but the past experience has made the two understand a truth, brothers are brothers, and brothers work together to break gold!

……

Sigh!

Creak, the carriage stopped, and Jia Lian, who got out of the carriage, lifted the little fat man off the carriage and stood in front of the gate of the Sun family.

"Heh, the salt merchant is really extravagant, and the stone lions at this gate are about to catch up with our family!"

Sun Kewang is a smart person, and smart people don't do stupid things in the open.

Although he hated the calculations of the Jia and Lin families, he still complimented Jia Lian and the others who came to find trouble with him.

Since being welcomed into the Sun family, Jia Lian has never said a word, just coldly looking at the elegant but luxurious front hall of the Sun family.

On the contrary, it was Jia Cong, after sitting down, he clamored to snatch the four girls of the Sun family home and be a concubine for his second brother.

Sun Kewang suppressed the anger in his heart, and bowed down to Jia Lian to beg for mercy: "Second Master Lian, the villain is telling the truth, the villain really doesn't know about Yang Ruyi." The little girl was also deceived by the Yang family, which almost caused a big disaster. You have a lot of adults, so let's bypass the little girl. But if the Sun family can do it, just say it, the villain will do his best to do it! ”

Jia Lian blew the tea foam in the tea cup in his hand and sneered: "Huh? Who do you think you are? Is this saying, is the master bullying your Sun family? ”

"The villain doesn't dare."

"Oh? Don't dare? That's what you think in your heart? ”

Sun Kewang hurriedly bowed down and begged: "The villain really didn't think so, everything is the fault of the little girl, the Sun family is willing to accept the punishment, beg the second master Lian for the sake of the villain who only has such a concubine, spare the little girl once!" ”

Harming people's reputations, the Jia and Lin families will kill their grandsons, and those officials in the court will not make decisions for their own families. The Lin family did not take action in person, but only forced their family to take the initiative to accept punishment in the name of Jia Lian's concubine, which was already considered merciful.

Sun Kewang also knew what Lin Ruhai needed most now, but he didn't dare to be this budding bird. The Sun family, one of the six major salt merchants, did not have much strength at all among these big clans in Jiangnan.

If you are not careful, the Sun family will be abandoned by the Hangzhou Manufacturing Mansion, and will be eaten and wiped clean by other families, and there will be no bones left.

The only way now is to ask for forgiveness from the Jia and Lin families, in exchange for the life of the old woman......

That's right, in Sun Kewang's opinion, his daughter went to Rongguo Mansion and would never see the sun the next day. In the prince's mansion, the death of a concubine is like the death of an ant, and there will be no waves at all.

Bang!

Sun Kewang, who leaned over and bowed for a long time, heard the sound and looked, only to see that Jia Lian was still leisurely admiring the ornaments in the front hall, but Jia Cong put the Yanling knife on his waist against the ground and stared at his eyes.

"Sun Kewang, do you know how much money Yang Siqi used to buy his life?"

The machine spring clicked, and the blade of the Yanling knife popped out, and the cold light was intimidating, Sun Kewang's eyes shrank slightly, and his hairs stood up.

He hurriedly lowered his head to hide his fear and unwillingness, gritted his teeth and replied: "The villain doesn't know, please ask Third Master Cong to solve your doubts." ”

"One and a half million taels of silver, buy himself and the Yang family's life!"

As soon as Jia Cong's words fell, he saw Sun Kewang immediately kneeling on the ground: "The villain is also willing to give 1.5 million taels to ask the second master and the third master Cong to forgive the little girl's sins!" ”

At this time, Jia Lian smiled slightly and said coldly: "Not enough!" ”

"Huh? Second Master Lian, this is the maximum amount that the villain can raise now! ”

Sun Kewang didn't tell a lie, the salt merchant's luxury is indeed true, but there will not be too much silver, and almost all the silver money is smashed into the salt lead.

But Jia Lian didn't come to give charity today, his purpose was to take advantage of this rare opportunity to do his best to weaken the Sun family and clear the way for Lin Ruhai's next plan.
