"Please also rest assured, Lord Qincha, this plan, we and other Shaanxi Qin merchants will definitely support it, and whoever dares to oppose it will be the mortal enemy of our Qin merchants who will never die!"

"Yes, yes, this matter, I'll wait for Qin Shang to make it..."

The Qin businessmen were no longer as cautious as before, their emotions were excited, and their replies were also chaotic...

He Shen sat there with a smile, quietly listening to the flattery of the Qin merchants, and the meaning was obvious.

Seeing such a scene, as the head of the group of Qin merchants, Luo Dayou coughed and interrupted the words of the group of Qin merchants.

Although Luo Dayou was also very excited about Heshen's big plan, he did not lose his mind...

He still remembered that He Shen came here this time to do business, not to be a living bodhisattva and give them benefits for nothing.

“……………”

Although, at this time, many Qin merchants looked at He Shen with their eyes, as if they were looking at a living Bodhisattva.

After the Qin merchants quieted down, Luo Dayou, the head of the Qin Chamber of Commerce, glared at them and said in a solemn voice.

"What kind of system are you waiting for, how can you be so noisy in front of Lord Qincha?"

"If you lose the rules, if you are underestimated, it doesn't matter if you lose face, don't embarrass all of us Qin merchants."

Hearing Luo Dayou's reprimand on the surface, the Qin merchants realized that they were in a mess and lost their minds under the temptation of Dali, and they couldn't help but confess one after another.

After integrating the opinions of the Qin merchants, Luo Dayou bowed to He Shen and said, "My lord, this plan of yours is very good for us and other Qin merchants..."

"Cast a peach and hug Li, I waited for Qin Shang to receive such a great benefit from the adult, if I don't repay the adult, I will not be happy in my heart..."

"If you have any needs, just mention them to us, as long as you can do it, we have no reason to refuse."

Hearing Luo Dayou's words, all the Qin merchants nodded in agreement.

If there is a gain in business, there will be a loss, and Qin businessmen have always been deeply aware of this.

They want to get Tibetan mineral salt with the help of Shen, and the control of this mountain of gold and people must be given corresponding rewards...

Otherwise, this matter is easy to change.

Seeing that the Qin businessmen were nervous, suffering from gains and losses, He Shen smiled slightly and said slowly: "The plans of this official are all for the emperor, for the court, and for the country, without a trace of selfishness..."

Hearing He Shen's high-sounding words, Luo Dayou rolled his eyes and said with a look of despair.

"Your Excellency is too worried, how dare we look down on your heart for the country and the people? The loyalty and patriotism of adults are not only in our eyes, but even the people of the world are also in their eyes. ”

Luo Dayou obviously opened his eyes and said nonsense, but he attracted the response of a group of Qin businessmen...

Seeing that He Shen's face had been very calm, Luo Dayou knew that he had to make a real promise to be...

Thinking of this, Luo Dayou's eyes rolled, and then he said: "I have received such a great favor from the adult, if I don't repay it, if I let others say that I won't repay Qin Shang's kindness in the future..."

"It has affected the reputation of Qin Shang accumulated for thousands of years, and we are sinners through the ages, so please be considerate."

Seeing that, the more the topic was talked, the more explicit it it became, and He Shen also chose a showdown...

"Originally, the development of mineral salt in Tibet should not be a problem with the cooperation of all of you, but now there are some troubles.

Hearing He Shen say this, the Qin merchants who regarded Tibetan mineral salt as their own bag couldn't help but feel nervous...

Luo Dayou hurriedly asked, "My lord, what are your concerns?" Why don't you tell us, and with our concerted efforts, there will always be a way to solve it. ”

After He Shen threw out the big cake of Tibetan mineral salt, the Qin merchants thought very clearly.

They will definitely fight for the development and control of Tibet's mineral salt, but they will definitely attract resistance from Huizhou merchants, Zhejiang merchants, and Jiangsu merchants...

There are even Jin merchants, mountain merchants, traveling merchants, Guangzhou merchants, Jiangyou merchants, traveling merchants, Ningbo merchants and other merchants competing for...

Under the confrontation of several forces, Heshen's attitude is very important.

He doesn't belong to any party, but he is quite favored in front of Emperor Qianlong, and his words carry a lot of weight, in this case, his attitude is very important...

Although He Shen took the initiative to propose, if he repented and even turned to support other merchants, the Qin merchants would have no choice but to watch a financial road cut off...,

And this is also the reason why He Shen dared to reveal the plan for the development of Tibet's mineral salt to the Qin merchants before the Qin merchants expressed their attitude.

Therefore, for the Qin merchants, at this time, they must not let He Shen waver.

Even if he was really shaken, Qin Shang had to do everything possible to dispel He Shen's swaying concerns for his own interests.

“……………”

Here, seeing Qin Shang's statement like this, He Shen nodded with satisfaction and said.

"After thinking about it, you also know that now the locust plague is not only rampant in Taiyuan Province, but also has begun to spread to the entire territory of Shaanxi Province, once it is uncontrollable, it will inevitably bring large-scale chaos..."

"Shaanxi is your fundamental place, is your foundation, once there is chaos here, where can you devote your mind to the development of Tibetan mineral salt..."

"If you think about it, it will inevitably be delayed."

In that case, it is better to hand over the development of Tibet's mineral salt to other businessmen......"

Seeing that the faces of the Qin businessmen were nervous, they wanted to speak and stopped...

He Shen didn't give them a chance to speak, and then said: "It's a pity that this official has the intention to lead the people of Taiyuan to exterminate locusts, but he has been questioned by many people......

Having said that, where are the shrewd Qin businessmen who don't understand...

Luo Dayou immediately took the lead and got up and said: "My lord, you are killing locusts, it is for the sake of my Taiyuan, and even the entire Shaanxi people's good deeds..."

"It's hateful, some people are superstitious and pedantic, and believe in the locust god's words, but they are against your lordship..."

"We also know the inside story of these things..."

"Please rest assured, our people still listen,...

"From this day forward, we will do our best to assist the adults in the culling of locusts, and there will be no more resistance."

The group of Qin merchants nodded, and echoed with their mouths...

“…………”

"So, naturally, it's the best."

Hearing this, He Shen smiled and nodded, then frowned again and said, "However, the official's concerns are not only that. ”

"Now because of the ravages of locusts, the people of Taiyuan Mansion have not had rice in the pot for many days..."

"The imperial court has the heart to help, but the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, although there is a lot of relief food and grass distributed, but the victims are more, once there is chaos because of this......"

"Hey, my official position, when the time comes, I won't be able to sit steadily..."

Before He Shen's words fell, Luo Dayou's side had already gotten up again and said, "Please rest assured, my lordship, there is still a little surplus grain in the business house we are waiting for..."

"Now that there is a locust plague in Taiyuan Mansion, it is the time for us to give back to the people, and we will never let the people of Taiyuan make a civil revolt because of famine."

Luo Dayou obviously thought about it very carefully, and said endlessly.

"What's more, once the development of Tibetan mineral salt officially starts in the future, it will inevitably require a lot of manpower, which can be selected from the people of Taiyuan Prefecture..."

In this way, with food and wages, the people of Taiyuan Mansion will have a way to live. ”

Hearing this, He Shen smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

On the way to the prefect's yamen, He Shen sat in a sedan chair with his eyes closed, while He Er rode a horse and stayed next to the sedan chair...

After He Shen left, the Qin merchants also got on the sedan chair and left here...

“…………”

As a result, it didn't take long for He Shen to hear He Er, complaining outside the sedan chair: "Master, how profitable is the sale of salt, why did you hand it over to those Shaanxi Qin merchants for no reason?" ”

Obviously, Kazuji has been enduring this matter for a long time...

For the money-greedy Heer, how can there be a stupid thing to give a money-making business to others for nothing!

When He Shen heard this, he shook his head and smiled, and said, "You, you... It's been calculated too carefully..."

"If Tibet's mineral salt wants to be developed and transported, it requires a large number of cattle, horses, a lot of silver, and even rich connections.

"What's more, the emperor of Tibet is far away, and there are a lot of broken things, and we don't have time, since this is the case, it is better to hand it over to those Shaanxi Qin merchants."

On the second side, he replied painfully: "However, this is also too cheap for them." ”

He Shen sighed lightly and said, "We have to take a long-term view, we have gained a lot this time, and it can even be regarded as a multiplicity..."

"Not only can we take the opportunity to recruit a group of friends who have money and food, but we can also use this time as a meritorious official to be promoted to a higher level..."

“…………”

Day 2!

When He Shen came to the prefect's yamen with a group of officials and Qin merchants, the elders and squires who were waiting in the prefect's yamen saw this, and they chose to be very sensible...

Not only them, but the old goddess Pan brought the more famous gods, witches, monks, and Taoist priests in Taiyuan Mansion to the yamen almost at the same time, waiting to meet with He Shen.

Regarding the rumors that He Shen intends to preside over the culling of locusts in Taiyuan Mansion, these gods, witches, monks, and Taoist priests have naturally heard of it.

Whether from the point of view of their hearts or their vital interests, they are not in favor of culling locusts.

Because to do so would be detrimental to their interests and to the very foundations of their religious beliefs...

“…………”

However, these gods, witches, monks, and Taoist priests thought that the clan elders, squires and others were their supporters, but they did not expect that after probing the mouth, they found that the clan elders and squires in Taiyuan Mansion all supported the culling of locusts.
