What's more, at that time, the Holy Queen has been favored by Taizong, of course, he also has to arrange people and horses to pay for the use of merit, Hu Zhongtang is the first good hand in business, arranged in the salt transportation envoy, almost transferred all the salt affairs in the world, not only to do a good job of salt in the country, but also to send the salt to Yumen Pass, as a means to control the upper tribe, with economic means to influence the military, this is a very powerful move, so the world is called the "salt god", so like the sky, naturally not easy to compete, and Hu Zhongtang is greedy, Xue Pan's grandfather can't say anything, and he also knows very well that his son is right, the emperor arranged himself in this position to fill the gap, not to divide power.

Later, Xue Pan's grandfather handed over the imperial history of the salt patrol, so it was naturally not good to meddle in the salt industry again, but fortunately, he took advantage of the time to change the faction and handed over the salt in his hand together.

So of course, there won't be a lot of silver income, but this is also Xue Pan's common sense to treat people, although there is no account book, but the Xue family is revived, relying on the silver earned when the two Huai salt industries supervised the imperial history.

Officialdom has always been either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, in the past Hu Zhongtang in Yangzhou made a career, and got to a white businessman's body, after the salt transport, and inspected the place for a party to the feudal officials, in Guangdong to handle shipping affairs, Guangzhou became the world's richest head, taxes occupy half of Tiannan, by virtue of this great achievement, Hu Zhongtang went straight to Beijing, in one fell swoop as the head of the household secretary, and then entered the government affairs Yuan, became the real prime minister, the wonder of the opportunity, although there are nobles to support the blue eyes, but it is enough to be amazed.

However, Hu Zhongtang was in charge of Yangzhou, and it was already twenty or thirty years ago, and his family's dominant posture in the past must no longer exist, after all, there is no need to say much, or to say that this person is going to tea and cool, the holy queen has returned to the political saint, and her people, of course, will gradually retire, and it is inevitable that the salt envoy wants to monopolize the salt politics and set aside the imperial history of patrolling the salt, but Lin Ruhai, a new salt minister, how much strength does he have, and he still needs to take a look and observe one or two, Xue Pan made up his mind, " We don't know the situation in Yangzhou, so we have to take a look, ask, and then make a decision. ”

If you don't understand anything, you can just ask how much salt is appropriate, this is bound to be inappropriate, Xue Pan is also by mistake, he was originally impatient, if he didn't put his interest in Lin Daiyu today, there is still time to talk about him, he couldn't help but talk about salt introduction, but Lin Ruhai is also so vague, presumably here, there is still a checkpoint to break through, if you can't find it, it will be in vain, and this errand will definitely not be done.

Thinking like this, there is a decision, Xue Pan ordered to go down, go outside these days to inquire, what is the matter, to stop here, if you can know by yourself, properly pass this difficulty, to Lin Ruhai, get a few pieces of salt to do, wouldn't it be the easiest thing? It's just Lin Ruhai's words.

Xue Pan is not very demanding, and he doesn't want to become any of the Four Great King Kongs, the Eight Heavenly Kings, and the Three Thousand Arhats, as long as he has a little bit of interest, he thinks about how much deficit Jinling Mansion can have, as long as he adds to the deficit of Jinling Mansion, and earns a little silver by the way, this is excellent.

It's a pity, this life is not perfect, or it is all satisfactory, Xue Pan is still thinking about things happily, "Li Rubang," he instructed the steward of Yangzhou, "I see that the garden is good, clean and elegant, it is a good place, you ask the person who rents the garden, if you are willing to sell, if you are willing to sell, just buy it." ”

Xue Pan is rich now, buying a garden, listening to his tone is as easy as buying vegetables in the vegetable market, it is really arrogant, Li Rubang hurriedly said yes, it is not difficult to say that this matter is not difficult, "This garden is the property of the Tang family, and they take the rental garden, which means that they have saved it for sale." ”

"With this garden," Xue Pan smiled wickedly, "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to welcome the Golden Phoenix." ”

Qi Dazhuang and Li Rubang didn't know why, they just looked at each other, not understanding why Xue Pan was laughing so much, "I'm going to live here for a while," Xue Pan commanded, "All the things in the garden have to be placed." ”

"Uncle still needs a few people to serve here, but how many girls do you want to buy?" Li Rubang said flatteringly, "I'm afraid that no one will serve me." ”

Of course, Xue Pan really wants the delicate and lovely girl to serve, in Yangzhou is far away from the emperor of the sky, but unfortunately, he shook his head with a sigh, and there was a minister who was firmly staring at him, "That's it, there is Mama Wang at home, and her old man takes care of her, there will be no problem." ”

After a while, the garden arrived, Xue Pan saw the people who have been thinking about it these days today, and his interest was very high, and before getting off the carriage, he instructed people to prepare wine and food for himself, and drank a few cups with these two stewards, talking while drinking, he never thought that he had just gotten off the carriage, only to see the long alley on the stone road in front of the garden, and he lit a purple gold dead air glass lamp without ten steps, all of which were held by this servant and stood on both sides of the long alley, winding hundreds of meters, like two jade dragons traversing the front of the garden, In the distance, another carriage made of brocade curtains glowed softly in the light and moonlight.

Xue Pan was a little inexplicable, all of a sudden, where did this come from? A person who looked like a steward, walked in front of Xue Pan in small steps, first hit a thousand, and then offered a prayer note with both hands, "Little Ma San, please say hello to Lord Xue, this is the worship post of the little lord." ”

Xue Pan took the post, but didn't open it, and pointed to the servants all over the street and the glass lamp with a soft light with a folding fan, "Is this the pomp and circumstance of your mansion welcoming guests?" But if I don't want to go, then aren't you putting up this posture in vain? ”

Ma Shan meekly replied: "This is what our lord meant, our young master said, Lord Xue is a distinguished guest, if it is not greeted with a big scene, I am afraid that not only Lord Xue will be blamed, but also greatly damage the reputation of our Ma family, which must not be allowed." ”

"The Ma family?" Xue Pan's eyebrows frowned slightly, he would put it out, and he dared to put on such a big show, in Yangzhou Mansion, there was probably only one, "But the Ma family in Huizhou?" ”

"Exactly."
