"Do you know how much the price of salt in Yangzhou City is?" Song Che looked at Jiang Yuntian and Liao Heng.

Jiang Yuntian shrugged his shoulders, "I eat 100 family meals, and I never care about firewood, rice, oil, and salt. ”

Song Che said with a smile: "This is wrong at first, you have to start a family in the future, and it is better to learn some firewood, rice, oil and salt." ”

Jiang Yuntian said: "It's not a secret, my biggest wish in my life is to be a door-to-door son-in-law like Brother Song and eat a bite of soft rice." ”

Jiang Daxia, ambitious!

"It's about 300 wen a catty." Liao Heng said.

Song Che frowned, "So low? ”

"It's still low?" Liao Heng shook his head, "No wonder you are a son-in-law who eats soft rice, you are not a good family and don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive." If the price of salt exceeds 100 Wen, it is already the price**. ”

Song Che shook his head, "You didn't know that the price of salt in Suzhou a month ago had risen to more than five hundred wen, and you couldn't even buy it with money." ”

Liao Heng sighed: "How do ordinary people live? ”

"The biggest problem is not here," Song Che paused, and then said:

"The reason why the price of salt in Suzhou City has risen is because of the troubles along the coast of Xiuzhou. But in terms of severity, it is far less than Huainan;

And it is precisely Huainan that is more seriously affected, but the price of salt is lower than that of Suzhou, which is not serious, don't you think it is strange? ”

He asked Liao Heng again: "Is there a situation where the supply exceeds the demand in Yangzhou City?" ”

Liao Heng pursed his lips, "It's a little expensive, but the salt is very sufficient." ”

Song Che said: "This shows that someone is controlling the price of salt, and it is precisely the Yang family who runs the salt farm. ”

Why can the Yang family ensure a continuous supply of salt?

Because they have a lot to do with the pirates.

Liao Heng said: "In fact, the Yang family's business is not limited to the sea, before piracy was rampant, the Yang family went north to Goryeo, east to Dongying, south to Nanyang, and the surrounding small countries Fanbang, all of which had their business. ”

Stuffing money into bandits and pirates to ensure the smooth flow of their own goods is a common method used by merchants.

"You have been analyzing for a long time, so how should we defeat the Yang family?"

Jiang Daxia is more realistic.

Song Che shook his head and spit out only one word: "Difficult." ”

A smart businessman, who is engaged in a gray industry, will always hide himself well, and it is difficult to uproot the deep-rooted tree of the Yang family based on speculation alone and without substantial evidence.

"It's one thing whether it's difficult or not, and it's another thing whether it's okay or not," Liao Heng looked at Song Che with trust: "You will return to Yangzhou again, which means that you have a perfect plan." ”

Song Che smiled: "In your minds, am I really so coarse? ”

Liao Heng squinted his eyes: "You pee on wet shoes." ”

"Not only does he wet his shoes, but he also likes to sell guanzi," Jiang Yuntian raised the sword in his hand, "Like me, whether I speak or do things, I am clean and neat, and if I can cut off my head with one sword, I will never stab the second sword." ”

Song Che laughed and compared three fingers:

"To kill the Yang family, you need three punches-

First punch, power.

The second punch, money.

The third punch, force. ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the side of the bed, and dragged a box from under the bed, opening it to a glittering gold ingot.

Liao Heng smiled while drinking: "It seems that your private money at home is also hidden under the bed." ”

Song Che pointed to the box full of gold and instructed Liao Heng: "There are 1,000 taels of gold in this box, you can bring it back to the state capital later, take 500 taels and give it to the newly appointed pacification envoy, and the remaining 500 taels will be used to deal with other officials in the Zhou Mansion." ”

Bribery is the most direct way to gain power.

Liao Heng said: "The new one is called Li Zhi, the same person in Beijing who signed the Privy Council, led the Huainan pacification envoy, and is Gao Chen's confidant, you don't have to send him money, he will also be on our side, not to mention that when he first arrived in the state capital, the boxes sent by the Yang family were much larger than yours." He didn't want either. ”

"No, it's not that he doesn't want it, but he doesn't dare to ask for it. Because the gold given by the Yang family is a blatant bribe, while I am a gift between friends, the nature is completely different. ”

The so-called taking others has short hands and eating others with a soft mouth.

Money, it has to be in place!

right, in order to be in place!

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing in Yangzhou this month?" Song Che suddenly asked Jiang Yuntian.

"Me?"

Jiang Yuntian thought for a while, his face was solemn, and finally complained to Liao Heng: "Speaking of which, I don't know what I'm doing, I obviously came to kill the Japanese and defend the country, but I seem to have become this guy's subordinate, and I am called by him all day long." ”

He asked Liao Heng again: "Do you think it's natural for everyone to be called by you?"

Liao Heng rolled his eyes: "Eating, drinking flower wine, shopping in the goulan, even the straw paper used to wipe the buttocks, you are embarrassed to say!" ”

Jiang Yunangel rubbed his nose vigorously: "These are not things that a big husband should do, I should immediately go to fight the Japanese invaders." ”

"Well said!" Song Che clapped his hands and applauded: "Why don't Brother Liao satisfy Brother Jiang and arrange a military general for him in Yangzhou City." ”

"You and I have three heads and six arms!"

Liao Heng said: "I am a small master book, the military general is the official of the imperial court, no matter how high his martial arts are, he has to report to the capital, reward his merits, and be naturalized in order to be sealed." ”

"Then find him an official position that doesn't need to be reported, and the power is not low," Song Che and Liao Heng poured a glass of wine, handed it to his lips and smiled: "There must be, right?" ”

"Of course, there is." Liao Heng snatched the wine glass, "With Brother Jiang's force, he is a 'regimental training leader', responsible for teaching the army guns and sticks, although there is no national salary, but there is a state government to pay wages." ”

Jiangnan's gang of old soldiers, it's really time to find a master to train and train.

Jiang Yuntian asked excitedly, "How many people do you care?" ”

Liao Heng said: "There are 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Yangzhou, you should be in charge of 5,000 people, but you are only responsible for their guns and sticks, and you have no power to command the transfer." ”

Jiang Yuntian pinched his chin and was happy to himself: "That's not bad, if I let the master and his old man know, I will manage 5,000 people when I just came out of the mountain, and I will definitely be happy to live for a few more years." ”

"Are you sure about this?" Song Che asked Liao Heng to confirm.

Liao Heng said: "Such a large box of gold is sent to the state capital, and it can be bought even if it is bought." ”

"Good!" Song Che looked for Jiang Yuntian again and instructed: "Brother Jiang, when you become the head of the regimental training coach, you must help me keep an eye on the army, and select one hundred and twenty people with superb riding and archery skills, I will be of great use!" ”

Jiang Yuntian patted his chest and signaled that it was no problem.

"The fist of power is held by the state capital behind Brother Liao; The fist of force is held by Brother Jiang's army; The fist of money is held by me personally; With three punches, the Yang family will be stoned to death in Yangzhou City - this scheme, I will call it the 'Jinfu Plan'! ”

"Why do you call it Project Jinfu?"

"Because of boxing."

"Brother Song is always so amazing."

"This is a very good plan, drink three cups!"

The three of them raised their glasses and drank together.

"By the way, what has Yang Song been doing this month?" Song Che asked suddenly.

"He is busy dealing with three things," Liao Heng said: "First, his father's funeral, second, his father's illegitimate son, and third, his father's name as president." ”

President of Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce?

Song Che's eyes lit up.

"Deliberate Punch !!"
