5.8 Support Yangzhou and backyard daily life

A few days later, in the living room of the Duke's Mansion in Jinling Town, Wei Xu came here immediately after he came back without even caring about arranging his home.

"Unexpectedly, you really persuaded him to come back. Although we have been very dissatisfied with his betrayal for so many years, we all admit that Lin Ruhai is indeed Wang Zuozhi's talent." Niu Jixun said in surprise.

"Actually, the fundamental reason why I was able to persuade him this time is not because of the hype I said, nor how generous our conditions are, but because he can't bear it anymore.

It was only later that I found out that before Lin Ruhai's only son was killed, he had actually received a warning that one of his concubines had been poisoned to death.

At that time, he asked the palace for a secret report, hoping to send out the brocade army to protect him, but Yongzheng directly refused, and even arranged many spies at the Lin family.

Afterwards, when his only son was killed, Yongzheng still did nothing, but urged him to pay more money, and only verbally promised that he would send Jinyi soldiers to protect the Lin family.

In ten years, no matter how loyal the courtier is, facing the pain of almost family ruin, he may have to use up his only loyalty. However, Lin Ruhai had no choice before, and could only go one way to the dark.

Now, he is not really back. It is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to stand on two boats, and his conditions really cannot be lowered. If we disagree, then we are out of our minds. " Wei Xu said with a smile.

"Haha, I heard that he handed over his only daughter to you? Well, now that he has the opportunity to join Yangzhou, I think the elder brother will not let you be busy." Niu Jixun laughed.

"Uncle Niu, you'd better hurry up, Yangzhou is already facing tremendous pressure, once the internal integration of the salt merchants is completed, they will definitely attack the Lin family, my little manpower is almost meaningless.

Don't forget, the contribution of the eight major salt merchants is no less than 200 million vehicles each year, and this is not counted by themselves. "Wei Xu is also doing his best to sponsor Lin Ruhai.

"Don't worry, the support from the capital may be too late, but it doesn't matter, we are not without manpower in Yangzhou, two small salt merchants are actually our people, plus other people in Yangzhou, it is enough.

I am now writing letters to these two families in the name of my eldest brother, asking them to help Lin Ruhai at all costs, and to survive at least a month first; after one month, the capital can hand over all the manpower assigned by Yangzhou.

Needless to say, no one is willing to give up this opportunity, and the family is really too small. I will arrange manpower and try my best to find another place, but that will not be until next year. "Niu Jixun is also very active.

"Naturally, no matter which one of the Eight Great Salt Merchants is, it's not enough to wash away their sins, so killing them will naturally not be a burden.

It's just that now that the Cheng family has just been destroyed, it's too eye-catching to clean up another family. Although we are not afraid of trouble, we don't want to cause trouble for ourselves. It's just a year or two at night, and we can afford to wait.

At that time, I will find a way to connect the salt roads I currently have, and then arrange it in Jinling. It is impossible to eat the salt goods in the entire Jiangnan, and it is still very easy to ensure that the business around Jinling is still very easy.

The only problem is the Zhen family. Uncle Niu may have to work hard by then. "Wei Xu narrated his plan to the best of his ability.

In fact, what he said was all the truth, but he deliberately left out a part, that is, most of these so-called "salt roads" were built for the distribution of goods in his own salt field.

When it comes time to hand over the money, it will be calculated according to the market price; the actual income is the income from selling the salt in the salt field and then deducting the cost.

Although Wei Xu is able to travel through the heavens, there are ways to supplement his income, but it is random after all, and there is no 100% guarantee. In the world of "Red Mansions", he still needs to have a solid foundation, so that he can talk to the outside world.

"The Zhen family, hum!" Niu Jixun has not been dissatisfied with the Zhen family for a day or two, "We have only been silent for more than ten years, and let them succeed, I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth.

It's just that the palace raised wild dogs in the south of the Yangtze River. I really think I'm some kind of bullshit "the first in the south of the Yangtze River". Don't worry, I will arrange it over there. "

"Uncle Niu, don't be careless. The salt market in the Jiangnan area centered on Jinling is not difficult to generate more than 500 million taels of income every year, but now it is divided by dozens of companies.

The center of Jiangnan is Jinling, but the current center of salt goods is actually Yangzhou. It is these people who have the final say on the world's salt roads. If we want to dig out a piece of meat, we need more than time and energy.Fundamentally speaking, my layout in Yangzhou is just to get involved there and get enough salt, and then I can say that I can control the salt roads around Jinling. "Wei Xu is deliberately biased.

"Didn't you say that drying salt technology can reduce the cost by [-]%?" Niu Jizong was taken aback for a moment.

"It's those two barbarians who overestimated it. It's not that they made a mistake, but the cost they mentioned refers to the western red-haired people's side. The cost on our side is actually low enough.

According to calculations at the time of shipment from the salt farm, the cost of salt production has not dropped much, but the output has more than tripled. This is mainly because fewer people are needed, and the same people can do more work.

However, Uncle Niu must be no stranger to the size of the Xue family's original salt farm. With that little output, let alone the entire market around Jinling, it is not enough for my own salt roads. "Wei Xu continued to be biased.

"That's true. Those kitchen households only need firewood and strength to produce salt, and we charge the price for collecting salt, so it's really not a cost." Probably due to historical limitations, Niu Jizong didn't doubt it.

"It's not that there is no progress. At least the quality of the salt products obtained from drying salt has improved a lot. Even if you sell private salt, the shipment is much faster than before." Wei Xu smiled and gave some sweetness.

"That's right." During this period of time, Niu Jizong naturally heard rumors that Xue's salt was of higher quality. "Okay, I will arrange what you said as soon as possible. The matter in Yangzhou is the top priority during this period."

"Thank you, Uncle Niu!" Wei Xu knew that he had successfully fooled him.

That night, the living room in the inner courtyard of Jinling Wei Mansion.

"Master, this is the main recent news. There is nothing meaningful, but the four-bedroom master of the Xue family is quite interesting." Saeko Busujima smiled sweetly and handed over a few pages of materials.

"He is also from the palace? No, no, he was just stunned by the bones thrown out of the palace." Wei Xu casually found out that the fourth house of the Xue family was in contact with the Zhen family.

"That's true. Our staff discovered that the Zhen family has been dishonest since they failed to take action against the master last time. The fact that the Xue family's subordinates threatened Mrs. Xue was actually the work of the Zhen family.

This time they contacted the fourth house of the Xue family. In fact, they did not invest much, and their purpose was not to really hope to take down the Xue family, but to make trouble for us and slow down our salt road. "Saeko Busujima expressed her own analysis.

"Cao Yunqi has done a good job during this time. He has eaten up nearly [-]% of the entire salt road around Jinling. The Zhen family can't sit still." Wei Xu laughed loudly, "Xuezi, how did you solve the manpower problem? ?”

"It's nothing more than spending some money and buying a lot of beggars." Saeko Busujima just said as before, then pursed her lips and stopped, but with a smile in her eyes, she kept hinting to Wei Xu's left.

"Okay, we don't have a headache about the little things about the Xue family. Send someone to inform Mrs. Xue, she is more suitable than us to deal with it." Wei Xu then turned his head and looked to the side.

"Brother Xu—" The long voice full of resentment and dissatisfaction was naturally Shi Xiangyun, and at this time she and Lin Daiyu were staring at each other, disliked each other.

"Pfft—what's the mess with you two." Wei Xu stepped forward, one by one, and his brains collapsed, "Yun girl, aren't you in charge of the internal guard at home, how are you doing these days?"

It's just that after he finished speaking, he found that Lin Daiyu's beautiful eyes had begun to reflect light, and there were faint tears flashing, reminding him that this girl is notoriously thoughtful.

"There are only five sisters in total, and they can't beat me together. What can I say?" Shi Xiangyun curled his lips, and half of the ten female disciples were taken away by Wei Xu. There is really nothing to say.

"Counting sister Shizuka, are these my sisters? Brother Xu, don't worry, I will get along well with them." Lin Daiyu said in a soft voice, and Ju Chuan Shizuka returned to the pharmacy as soon as she arrived in Jinling.

It’s just that when she spoke, her eyes were filled with tears, her face was full of resentment, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with it. The most important thing is what the hell is your “concubine body”? I didn’t see these two words, Shi Xiangyun’s eyes almost turned into Got a knife?
From Yangzhou to Jinling, the two of them got along pretty well along the way, but Wei Xu simply regarded her as a little sister and didn't think much about it at all. As for the so-called "marriage contract", that was a matter for the future.

It's just that the current situation is obviously not that simple!
