Chapter 39 The Yuan family arrives in Yangzhou and the recruitment begins (please read and recommend)
  In the next day or two, Mo Lan did not appear in front of Xu Wenhui again.
  Except for the old lady who told Xu Wenhui, everyone else in the Sheng family seemed to have nothing happened, and they were as enthusiastic and courteous as ever!

Xu Wenhui looked at the old lady's face and didn't care anymore.

quickly,

The Yuan family finally arrived in Yangzhou, and the day for the expedition has arrived!

Because I got the hint from Xu Wenhui in advance,
  The Sheng family was somewhat prepared for the situation when the Yuan family uncle and his wife did not come.
  Although I feel uncomfortable, since the Yuan family has arrived in Yangzhou,

If the commotion continues, the Sheng family will also be embarrassed.

So the Sheng family could only hold their noses and admit it.

Agree with the Yuan family to unload the bride price from the ship! Of course, Mrs. Wang Ruofu inevitably caused another scene! But there is nothing we can do!
  Of course, it’s not like the Sheng family didn’t fight back.
  Since the Yuan family uncle and his wife did not come, Mrs. Sheng Hong Wang did not go to the pier in person to receive the betrothal gift.

I just sent my eldest son Sheng Changbai over, which can be regarded as a reciprocal reception!

Xu Wenhui did not follow Sheng Changbai to the dock to join in the fun.
  But stay in Sheng Mansion,

Today, the number two man in Yangzhou, Tong Xuan, marries his daughter.

The major salt merchants in Yangzhou also attended in person.

Xu Wenhui happened to take this opportunity to meet them.
  After all, it would be inappropriate for Xu Wenhui’s status to entertain these salt merchants, but it wouldn’t be okay if he didn’t show up for something as big as soap.
  This opportunity is perfect for the Sheng family!

Xu Qingshan has been dealing with these salt merchants in recent days and is considered familiar with them.

Looking around, I could tell who was coming, and they were about to introduce them to Xu Wenhui.
  Suddenly, he felt that one family didn't seem to be here. Xu Qingshan suddenly realized it after thinking for a moment. He approached Xu Wenhui and whispered,
  "Except for the Bai family who did not come because of the death of Mr. Bai, all the other major salt merchants in Yangzhou were attended by their family members or heirs in person!

But it is also strange that the subordinates did not see other representatives of the Bai family. Could it be that they did not participate in the ceremony of accepting the Tongpan family? "

"It doesn't matter, one or two less people will not harm the overall situation!"

Xu Wenhui nodded slightly. That old man Bai was none other than Gu Tingye's grandfather. He would not be able to come if he was dead. Besides, the Bai family was busy fighting for property and guarding against Gu Tingye. They had no time to participate in any war. Etiquette is also normal!
  After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Xu Wenhui asked slightly curiously:

"Have you found out which salt merchant and whose family's power is now?"

"On the surface, the villains all know that in order to get involved in the soap business, they all reported themselves to the family, but secretly there is some relationship, the villain is not sure!" Xu Qingshan hesitated, unsure. replied!
  Xu Wenhui didn't take it seriously when he heard this. It would be strange if Xu Qingshan could find out so easily. It was just business anyway, and Xu Wenhui didn't want to interfere with other things.
  "Give me a brief introduction!"

"Yes! Young master, please look at the third table on the left. The first person sitting at the third table is Yang Wanli. He is the head of the Yang family. The Yang family has eight salt houses and is currently the largest salt merchant. It is said that the Yang family was originally the kingdom of Lingguo in the early years. The servants of the government gradually became involved in the salt trade after renouncing their citizenship..."

"The second person is Guo Xianyi. The Guo family has six salt farms. It is said that he has good relations with the steward of the Liang family, the Minister of Household Affairs..." "That person is Tao Guandong... His family is related to Yongchang Bofu, the previous head of the family. My daughter was originally married to a concubine of the former Yongchang Bo..."

Wherever Xu Qingshan pointed, Xu Wenhui nodded slightly.
  The salt merchants were also paying attention to Xu Wenhui's movements, so they naturally responded enthusiastically!
  After listening to Xu Qingshan’s introduction,

Xu Wenhui sighed a little in his heart. It was thanks to Gu Tingye's mother Bai that he realized the wealth of the salt merchants.
  Back then, the Gu family married the daughter of a salt merchant in order to repay Da Nei's shortfall, and received several shiploads of dowry. Not only did they repay the shortfall of hundreds of thousands taels,

As a result, the Gu family became a well-known wealthy family. With such great wealth,
  Naturally, other nobles were also greatly inspired. They either used collateral concubines to marry salt merchants, or sent their confidants to set up salt farms.
  Nowadays, more than half of the salt merchants have connections with nobles!
  Of course, not all nobles are involved in the salt merchant business. Some are not strong enough, and some are concerned about dignity.
  Unfortunately, the Xu family was one of them. It happened to be the time when Xu Wenhui's grandfather passed away and his father inherited the title.

After the filial piety, when you want to participate again, it is already too late!

Fortunately, with the soap business invented by Xu Wenhui, Xu Wenhui will no longer be short of money!

Looking at Xu Wenhui and the salt merchants nodding,
  Fu Quan, the magistrate of Yangzhou at the same table, quietly approached Sheng Hong and whispered:

"Brother Sheng, you are unreasonable. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had this kind of relationship? It's only now that you are about to be promoted that you have revealed yourself. Could it be that you look down on me and are afraid that I won't be able to use your relationship?"

Generally speaking, the relationship between Zhizhou and Tongpan is rarely harmonious. After all, the purpose of Tongpan is to weaken the power of Zhizhou and to supervise the duties of Zhizhou, so Tongpan is also called Jianzhou!

But Yangzhou is different,

Fu Quan, the magistrate of Yangzhou, is already quite old. After this term, he will have to live in his old age. His desire for power is not strong.

In addition, Sheng Hong was in his prime, had a promising future, and was good at being a good person.
  Therefore, the relationship between the two is rare and harmonious.
  When Sheng Hong saw Fu Quan move his mouth towards Xu Wenhui, he naturally understood what Fu Quan meant and quickly shouted that he was wronged.

"Oh my god, you have really wronged me. You still don't know who I am! In fact, this matter is really difficult to explain. Today is inconvenient. I will discuss it with you in detail tomorrow!"

Sheng Hong shook his head as he spoke, as if he had something to hide, but in fact he was very proud. Not everyone has such a strong relationship!
  "I see!"

Fu Quan did not continue to ask Sheng Hong. Instead, he suddenly seemed to think of something and asked casually:

"Brother Sheng, I heard that the young prince of the Xu family seems to want to sell some soap formula? What do you think about this matter?"

"This...what do you think, Mr. Ming?"

Sheng Hong did not respond clearly, but asked Fu Quan cautiously, wanting to see what Fu Quan had in mind.
  Naturally, the fact that Xu Wenhui sent Xu Qingshan to contact the salt merchants could not be hidden from the two parents in Yangzhou.
  Sheng Hong also knew,
  It's just that Xu Wenhui didn't tell the Sheng family about the soap, and Sheng Hong just pretended not to see it. Besides, even with the strength of the Sheng family, they couldn't get involved in such a big matter! So Sheng Hong didn't even tell his family, so as to avoid unnecessary complications!
  Seeing that Sheng Hong didn't respond, Fu Quan secretly scolded Sheng Hong for being slippery. However, he wanted to have a hand in this matter, and Sheng Hong would have to deal with it. After thinking about it, he said tactfully:

"Brother Sheng, as far as I know, your Sheng family's big house seems to have a lot of property, right? Don't you have any ideas? You know, these soaps are in short supply these days!"
