"The salt merchants are all giving gifts to this little Lord Xue, what kind of gifts do our families want to give?"

"What kind of gift to give, whether it is in line with your heart or not, it is not too important," Liu Bingde shook his head, "What I want is the most valuable thing, the Tang family sent a garden, presumably this adult, what he likes is the garden, when it comes to the garden, the entire Yangzhou City, there is no best Pingshantang in our family, go back and find out the title deed, all the ones in the Shugang area are given to Lord Xue."

"Master, the production in this area is excellent," the housekeeper was a little reluctant, "Counting up, the scenery of Pingshan Hall, even the old man has been watching it from time to time, how can he be willing to take it out?" ”

"I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf," Liu Bingde shook his head, "If you don't impress others with good things, others won't do their best to help you, our so-called first salt merchant, and there are not so many salt introductions that can be taken out to be reassigned, I now think that our family's salt introduction can be less, so as not to weaken the foundation of our family too much, this is enough, I'm worried now, hey, some people," Liu Bingde looked at the scenery outside the window worriedly, "It's like a shark, smelling blood, It's going to come up and kill them all. ”

Liu Bingde seems to be a little worried, but the housekeeper disagrees, "It's just some Shanxi Yankees, don't worry, here in Yangzhou, it's the world of Anhui people, these people are not familiar with the place, and they can't do a good job in the salt industry." ”

"What Anhui people," Liu Bingde said indifferently, "Our Liu family is not from Anhui, doesn't it also occupy a corner of Yangzhou City?" Counting on those who are the best at fighting in the nest to defend against foreign enemies? Pure dreaming. ”

The local salt merchants have left one after another, and only a group of Shanxi people are still waiting here, which is very thick-skinned, because Xue Pan sent off the guests with tea, which means that today's reception has ended, but Qiao Zhiyue still stayed behind, and when everyone dispersed, he lifted his robes and knelt down to say goodbye, "The little one asks Lord Xue to say goodbye." ”

"What is this for," Xue Pan asked Qiao Zhiyue to get up, "I'm an adult, I'm just bluffing people, I can't be serious, I don't take it seriously, why do you all take me seriously?" ”

Jia Yucun got up and helped Qiao Zhiyue up, although Xue Pan was polite, but Qiao Zhiyue and the Jin merchants behind him all kowtowed three heads, and stood in front of Xue Pan with his hands down, "On reason, this is the first time to meet adults, we shouldn't say anything, it's just that we people are not here for ourselves." ”

"Oh?" Xue Pan naturally knew that these people could not come by themselves, just kidding, when can businessmen exist independently of politics? If these people don't rely on it, how dare they come to Yangzhou City to cause trouble? As soon as he came, he had to take the richest salt merchants as a felling, if he didn't rely on it, it would really be an old birthday star hanging, and he would have a long life. "Who is that for?" Xue Pan asked, Qiao Zhiyue glanced at Jia Yucun on the side, "Mr. Yucun is the person I trust the most, thinking that these people you brought should also be the most credible people, if there is anything, please say it directly." ”

Xue Pan said amiably, Qiao Zhiyue would not take advantage of this, "This time a few of us came, we wanted to lead the salt, one is naturally for our own family's business, and the other is to flatter business." ”

Xue Pan didn't know what business he was going to do, so he glanced at Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun smiled, "Shopkeeper Qiao, what you want to do is the business of the Whale Sea, right?" ”

"Mr. is extremely clever," Qiao Zhiyue nodded and said, "Whale Sea Li Ge Lao wants a large sum of silver to run a shipping administration, resist the Rakshasa devils, think about it, in addition to the ticket number of our Shanxi people and the business name of Tianjin, we can only think of a way out here in Yangzhou and raise silver." ”

Li Ge Lao is the former presiding over the Oriental War, supervising the Beiyang Whale Sea and the Yellow Sea War, pacifying Fusang, and exterminating the great heroes of Dongyi, Li Zhangtong, there was a great hero in the past, and Li Ge Lao went hand in hand, but which one was not very lucky, was attacked and killed by Fusang ninjas on the front line, the Holy Queen was very sad, and was posthumously crowned the king, but no matter how this posthumous mourning, in the end it is not as good as the merits of the people, and the people who are alive are more powerful, Li Ge Lao was already the president of the Wende Academy of Zhengyipin, and the military department is still in charge of Liaoning, Ningguta, Heilongjiang, Yanjing, Shandong five provinces armament, can be described as monstrous authority, military merits, but in the officialdom but very tactful, except for a few emperors in front of the master did not appreciate Li Ge Lao, officialdom no one does not make good friends, the dynasty system, civil officials and important personnel command the army, and when the war is over, they will immediately hand over the tiger charm, the army belongs to the central jurisdiction, and there is no danger of separating the town.

According to his great merits, he should have entered the pilgrimage as a minister, but he didn't know how, but repeatedly shirked, the above table said, the East has not yet been pacified, the Rakshasa people in the north are eyeing the tiger, it is not good not to defend, but they are willing to continue to be an official in Yanjing, the holy queen attaches great importance to it, so he also approved his excerpt, and has long been appointed to the position of governor of the political affairs hall, and gave the trump card order arrow, let it control the military affairs of several provinces in the northeast, and enter the prime minister, and the end is the king of the northeast, and he says one or two in the north, and he is majestic.

Such a big man had to be cautious, Xue Pan hurriedly stood up, "If Li Ge Lao has anything to say, please come and tell me directly, I have someone who dares to be disrespectful - don't say anything else, just look at this great achievement of defeating Fusang, forcing Emperor Fusang to bow down, and fighting for the country, I really admire it very much." ”

Although Jia Yucun was also a low-level official in the past, he was a member of the officialdom in the end, and he was an official in the Daimyo's Mansion, which was the northern capital and was under the jurisdiction of Yanjing Province, so he knew the ability and style of this Li Ge Lao, but he was a little puzzled, "If you want to run a ship administration, why do you need Li Ge Lao to raise money by himself?" It must be known that these two foreign naval divisions were set up by the Ministry of War with a lot of money, and although they need to be added over the years, they do not need so much silver...... Here," Jia Yucun secretly reminded Xue Pan, as a strategist, it is his duty to remind the owner of everything that may happen, "I'm afraid there are other reasons." ”

"Mr. Yucun is extremely clever, there is nothing to say about the matter here, and many Hanlin Zhan affairs in the court are deeply aware that since this victory over Fusang and the pacification of the East China Sea, there is naturally no need to continue to smash it with silver, and the two oceans naval division will be handled again, and there are already many people who are discussing to reduce the allocation of the military department by half."
