"Guzuzhang, I heard from Aunt Lin that my auntie's food is not delicious recently and he has no appetite... Because my auntie is recovering from a serious illness, I can't eat greasy meat, so I sent someone to Tianning Temple to invite two people who can cook vegetarian food." The fasting master is back. Try it tomorrow and see how it goes."

Saying that, Jia Qiang said to Aunt Mei: "Next time, if my aunt still stays up all night like this, please ask my aunt to persuade me seriously. Not to mention Aunt Lin, from now on even I will hide behind my aunt with a thick skin and rely on him The old man is sheltered from the wind and rain. This body is better if it is not well-fed, which is great."

Aunt Mei laughed and said, "Serious persuasion? How else can I be serious in persuasion?"

Lin Ruhai waved his hands and smiled, "Okay, I'll just pay more attention in the future."

He was not afraid of death in his heart, and dying for his father's diligence is the highest reputation and virtue of a scholar-bureaucrat.

But now, Lin Ruhai didn't want to die.

Because he had already "died" once, the feeling when he was on the verge of death was not scary to death itself.

It was a feeling of dying, Lin Ruhai didn't want to try it a second time...

He has never been able to truly sacrifice his life for the country like Han Bin.

The "body" here is not only Han Bin himself, but also his flesh and blood, his relatives, and his tribe.

Perhaps Lin Ruhai herself was born as a nobleman, and the "selfishness" of nobles still remains in her blood...

Therefore, he decided not to do it desperately in the future, but to do his best.

"Brother Qiang, this matter must be fast, steady, and ruthless!"

Near the end of the conversation, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and exhorted.

Jia Qiang nodded, and said: "I will communicate with Uncle Chen about this matter a little bit more. Don't worry, Auntie, it's not difficult. It's the Qi family...can you give him three to five years?"

Lin Ruhai heard the words, frowned and thought for a while, then slowly said: "I am not sure about this matter alone, so I should send someone to Jiangning to ask Banshangong's opinion. However, there should not be much hindrance. Banshan Gong is not a bloodthirsty person, if he can carry out the New Deal in a stable manner, the Qi family... just let him go."

This is obviously not just a matter of bloodthirsty or not, but a golden pig like the Qi family that is made of gold from the beginning to the end.

But what Jia Qiang said is also reasonable. If the Qi family can raise the flag smoothly, then when other families are cleaned up, the Qi family can lead the families that have not been cleaned up, and take advantage of the situation to take over the salt farms, salt farmers and salt transportation channels of the cleaned up salt merchants.

In this way, it can be guaranteed to the greatest extent that the Lianghuai salt industry will not be in chaos, that it will not affect the people's consumption of salt, and that there will be no chaos.

Considering this, Han Bin should not kill them all.

"Brother Qiang, you are different from ordinary people, aside from other things, your second uncle Lian is still a few years older than you, but he...is the one who behaves like a serious son of a prince. You are not like the Jia family, so call me when you talk about it." Aunt Zuzhang is a distant relative outside of Wufu, and I even consider you as my disciple. Therefore, it makes sense for you to say that a family will live and die together in the future. Since you have this thought, then this I'll leave the matter to you. You go and discuss with your Uncle Chen how to do it the safest way. I really can't hold on to my bones, and if I really want to go to war, I'm afraid my bones will fall apart."

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he laughed at himself.

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "The main thing about this matter is that Uncle Chen should come forward, and I'm mainly trying to make sidelines, just light a fire by the way."

Lin Ruhai smiled, nodded and said, "That's fine."

……

At noon the next day, the sun rose three poles.

After sleeping for four hours, Jia Qiangfang got up.

Methodical exercise, washing, breakfast and lunch together, reading, writing...

After finishing it in one go, it was already afternoon.

Naturally, she couldn't sleep in the afternoon nap. After finishing the pen, she heard the message from her mother-in-law that Xue Pan had urgent matters to ask. Jia Qiang thought about it, and it should be the matter of Zhang Dehui, the head shopkeeper of Xuejiafeng, so she went to the guest room.

Sure enough, in the hall outside the guest room, Zhang Dehui and two middle-aged men with miserable faces were seen kneeling there.

Xue Pan sat down on the main seat and drank tea, because the guest room also had a boiler installed, so he was sitting in a single shirt, still restless, wanting to make a move several times.

Seeing Jia Qiang coming in, he stood up abruptly, pointed at Zhang Dehui and their two sons and cursed: "Brother Qiang, look, since my grandfather, his family has been working at my house, and now it's so strange. He did the business of eating inside and outside, and got 3 to [-] taels of silver!"

Twenty or thirty thousand?

Jia Qiang looked at Zhang Dehui, then at his two disheveled sons, and asked indifferently, "It's really only [-] to [-]?"

Zhang Dehui raised his head in astonishment when he heard the words, and argued: "Uncle Jia, for a family like us, if we can save [-] to [-] yuan, it will be a lot!"

Jia Qiang chuckled, looked down at Zhang Dehui's two sons, and said, "I will give you one last chance and allow you to report the number again. After the report, I will let the Chen family send three shopkeepers and eight accountants to Jinling After checking the accounts, the Chen family is one of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou. Apart from the salt industry, his pawn shop is the best, because his shopkeeper has good eyesight, and the accountant is also good. If you really get to that point, you should stop Blame Brother Xue and I for not showing face to Mr. Zhang, and you have spoiled the friendship of several lifetimes. When we find out something, we can only report to the officials. Don’t think that we dare not report to the officials. Ordinary rich merchants dare not report such incidents to the officials, that is because after their money enters the yamen, most of them have to be skinned off, but when our money is reported to the yamen, who dares to withhold one or two? When you think about it, it’s hard to die. Let me ask one last time, is it really only 3 or [-] taels?”

Zhang Dehui's eldest son, named Zhang Fu, heard Jia Qiang's harsh voice and threatening intentions, and he kowtowed repeatedly while stammering: "Young... I dare not lie to you, really... There really is only so much... so much silver."

Xue Pan saw that he did not seem to be fake, looked at Jia Qiang suspiciously, and wanted to ask if it was almost done.

But Jia Qiang sneered and said, "There's only so much money, so where did you spend it all these years? Did you buy a house with the greedy money? Did you buy land? Did you buy a store? Did you lend it out? "

A series of questions, like a string of arrows, made Zhang Fu pale, looked at Jia Qiang in horror, and forgot to answer for a while.

With such an appearance, not to mention Jia Qiang, even Xue Pan could see that something was wrong. He strode forward and kicked Zhang Fu over, shouting and scolding: "Rebellion! This family is all rebels, today If I forgive you again, you might as well not live!"

"Say!! How much have you been greedy for?"

Jia Qiang took advantage of the situation and asked sharply.

Zhang Dehui burst into tears, and scolded: "You bastard with a black heart, don't say it again, and don't call me dad again in the future. It hurts my innocence. You go to death, and I can't recognize you anymore."

Zhang Fu's younger brother, Zhang Gui, was less courageous. He couldn't bear the three-fold questioning, and cried, "There are a total of one hundred thousand taels, but just like the old man said, they were all bought into Zhuangzi, door shops and houses. There are also some loan sharks released..."

Jia Qiang sneered, he shouldn't have known this.

But as the saying goes, all crows in the world are as black. Just look at what the slaves of the Jia family have done, and you can imagine what the shopkeepers of the Xue family will do.

The servants of the Jia family are still under their noses, what about the Xue family?

After the death of Xue Li, the Patriarch of the Xue family, Aunt Xue took her two children to the capital and went to the capital. The business throughout the provinces can only be maintained by the shopkeeper and the staff consciously.

How is the result?

In the world of the original book, when Xue Pan had another accident and needed money, Aunt Xue found out that all the stores in the provinces had been sold out in recent years.

At that time, it would be impossible for Aunt Xue to do anything, let alone she could not think of anything else.

In this way, the Xue family, whose pearls are like earth and gold is like iron, was eaten up by a group of silverfish...

Originally, these had nothing to do with Jia Qiang, but in this life, although Xue Pan was still generous, he was very loyal to him and helped him several times when he was down and down.

This is one of them.

Second, Jia Qiang also needs Xue's stores all over the world as channels.

No matter what generation, no matter what kind of business you do for a living, opening up distribution channels is a crucial constraint on whether you can grow bigger.

Although there are already some capable allies now, it is impossible for Jia Qiang to bet all her chips on a few salt merchants. Just as Lin Ruhai warned him, none of the Qi family, Chen family, Xu family and other families are good .

Therefore, he still needs to find more channels and resources to strive for a greater right to speak.
