At this time, there was no one else, and Xue Pan also honestly explained, "This time the salt is more collected, but the cash is not much, the more is the silver ticket, those small salt merchants, are all borrowed from the Xue family's ticket number to vote, otherwise relying on their own cash, it is not able to fight these big salt merchants, so I provided a lot of silver tickets to them, these days, counting, the cash silver to escort to the capital, is not too much." In this verse, I will ask Shibo to punish him. ”

"Public and private, I won't blame you," Lin Ruhai shook his head, it was already late at night at this time, the bright moon outside the window was like a hook, the shadows of the trees were waving, the night wind was gusting, and occasionally there was a sobbing sound behind them, and the three of them were talking secretly here, "If you hadn't given them the opportunity like this, they wouldn't have been able to take down more than 10,000 pieces of silver." ”

"The big salt merchant is indeed a tumor of Lianghuai!" Lin Ruhai slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the crescent moon covered by dark clouds, "This time, if it weren't for the first fight and then the elimination, and they were caught off guard, they would never be willing to hand over the salt in their hands, even if they spent money to buy it back, it would not be successful, the salt introduction faction in the past, except for Hu Ge Lao and a group of people, the rest were thunder and rain, the small salt merchants would definitely die, the big salt merchants were getting bigger and bigger, and they were more and more confident and the court shouted!" ”

He turned his face, his face was gloomy, he must have thought of yesterday's scene, Hou Jing relied on the power behind him was not fake, but he dared to threaten Lin Ruhai, relying on the more than 7,000 pieces of salt in his hand, and his status as the first salt merchant in Lianghuai, "The reassignment of salt is a rule set by the imperial court, not that someone from me Lin came here to make trouble, there were five tombstones in the previous dynasty, and I am not without vigilance, if the chaos is pushed back like this, I don't have half a word, this court has ordered it, It is really shocking that he dares to come here to do some conspiracy and trickery. ”

"The imperial court is still the imperial court," Xue Pan took a sip of tea and said, he could understand why these people were like this, of course, Xue Pan was also a profitable figure among these officials and businessmen, "The businessman is not the original businessman, and no one wants to take out the good things that make money in their hands." ”

Xue Pan took out a seal from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Ruhai. "This is the list of salt merchants who came to make trouble with Hou Jingyang Belen yesterday, I have already assigned their salt quotations in the Hundred Flowers Hall, it is not easy to change them at will, but I can't let them be so wishful, these people, I am ready to let them get these salt quotations half a year later."

Half a year later, this is another painful thing to cut meat, late half a year to sell two Huai salt, this step is slow, step by step, the future business will not be as good as those salt merchants who are resolute and quick to attack, Xue Pan's method can not be said to be insidious, he does not put your punishment on the bright side, but stabs you with a knife that is intriguing.

Lin Ruhai's eyebrows jumped, he stood in front of the windowsill with his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a long time, Xue Pan and Jia Yucun did not make a sound, the cold moon shone on Lin Ruhai's haggard face, he sighed after a while, and waved his hand, "That's it, since they have already obtained the salt lead, they will follow the rules and send it out together in a few days." ”

"I didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about it, Madame's body is indeed not getting better, but people always have a kind of luck, people still think that she can stay with her for a longer time," he slowly turned around and sat down, "Actually, how can I not understand, Madame is not better." It's just that it's so fast, it's a little uncomfortable. ”

Is it a little uncomfortable, is it uncomfortable in the bones, Xue Pan looked at Lin Ruhai's appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart, "Shibo let go of these villains?" ”

"Let it go, let it go," Lin Ruhai closed his eyes, "The horizontal and vertical matter has been done, and the lady has passed away, instead of happening to these small shrimps and fish, it is better to think about what to do next." ”

On the second day, Lin Ruhai also sent the fold out, Xue Pan saw that the Lin family's funeral was done properly, and there was no accident, at this time he began to be busy with his own affairs, every family that came to the Xue family to borrow silver before, must be careful and careful to urge the payment of the silver, of course, this process is not difficult, after all, Xue Pan is still holding the 50,000 or so pieces of salt in his hand, no one dares not to repay Xue Pan's silver, otherwise, Xue Pan does not need to do anything to collect debts, and directly sell the salt again. Now this salt is a rare object, and when you come to your senses, everyone is willing to throw down the silver to do it.

Therefore, it is just a little trivial, when to take, when to deliver, what mortgage to take, and how much interest must be carefully agreed, so it has been a whole day, when Xue Pan returned to Lin Mansion in the evening, Jia Yucun came to report: "The excerpt of the salt transport envoy has been sent to Beijing." ”

"So fast?" Xue Pan raised his eyebrows, "It's still three days." ”

"The salt transport envoy has the right to fold six hundred miles," Jia Yucun said, "riding a horse during the day and taking a boat at night, without delaying the time at all, his fold has entered Beijing, and I don't know what waves will be set off here at that time." ”

"Let's just watch the show," Xue Pan stepped into the courtyard of the meeting and said to Jia Yucun, "Next, this wicked person is not what we did, some people are afraid that they can't think of it, and some people are already preparing to stab their allies in the back, right?" ”

"What do you mean, do you still want to watch?"

"Look at it first, and we'll see later, if there are reservoir dogs, I'll take a dozen of them with me."

Jia Yucun said goodbye, Xue Pan arrived in the meeting hall, just sat down, a group of stewards and servants talked back and forth, asking for money, things and people, fortunately Xue Pan has already experienced a white matter, everything knows what the rules are, in addition Xue Pan beat Yang Belun in front of Mrs. Jia's spirit, this time, no one in the Lin family did not respect Xue Pan, and no one dared to play tricks in front of Xue Pan, so he did a lot of things smoothly.

The people who talked back and forth for a while all retreated, Zhen'er came over with tea and asked Xue Pan to drink, Xue Pan yawned, "I don't drink tea at night, I've been very tired recently, if I drink tea at night, I can't sleep well, what soup can I drink." ”

"There is white fungus soup boiled in the silver hanger, do you want a bowl of uncle?"

Xue Pan nodded, "Then drink a bowl." ”

Zhen'er went out with the curtain to pour white fungus soup, but someone came in again, Xue Pan looked up and saw that it was Daiyu's nurse Mama Wang, Xue Pan stood up and asked Mama Wang to sit down, "Why is Mama here?" Miss Lin can sleep? ”

"Where can the girl sleep these days? Last night was in front of the spirit until the third watch before returning to the room, this morning I got up again and knelt in front of the spirit, and at night I said that I would like to go back to the room, but I refused to go to bed. ”
