Thirty percent dry stocks! Shen Heming's lips trembled, and he could barely speak.

This is no longer a lion's mouth, but he wants to swallow his business in one bite! It's a robbery!

"Pingnanhou is trying to drive us to a dead end." After pondering for a long time, Shen Heming said with difficulty.

"No one forced you, even if you give up thirty percent of the profits, you are still quite profitable, and the Governor's Mansion has this income every year, which can be used to support the army, with a strong army to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, to defend the safety of Yangzhou, and you can do business peacefully.

In this way, it is the best of both worlds with the country and the private world, so why not do it? Shan Minglei said with a smile.

"We have already paid the nest capital to the imperial court, which is equivalent to buying the monopoly right of salt in various places with silver, and now Pingnanhou wants to intervene in our business on behalf of the Jiangbei Governor's Mansion, which is not in accordance with the rules!"

Shen Heming's face was very ugly, what to talk about the best of both worlds, it was clear that Chen Yue, the Marquis of Pingnan, had a crush on the salt merchants to make money, and blackmailed the silver!

"Of course, it is not in accordance with the rules for the Governor's Mansion to come forward to occupy shares, but you can rest assured that it is also a business name, not the Governor's Palace." Shan Minglei said with a smile.

"I'll have to go back and talk to the others before I decide." Shen Heming stood up and said, but anyone could see the rejection in his words.

"It's okay, such a big thing has to be thought through." Shan Minglei agreed.

sent Shen Heming away, and Shan Minglei came to the back hall.

"How?" Chen Yue asked.

"He said that he would go back and think about it, and he probably wouldn't agree." Shan Minglei shook his head.

"Hehe, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. The silver of white flowers is moving, who wants to give the silver to others easily? Chen Yue said with a smile.

"These people don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, and there will be times for them to cry in the future!" Shan Minglei sneered.

"These people are all great rats of the country, if they are honest and obedient, I don't mind giving them a way to live." Chen Yue shook his head and said.

"I'm afraid that they won't be willing to spend money in vain, and they have to make up for it." Shan Minglei said.

"Then I can't blame me. Hurry up and prepare, give them another three days, and start launching in three days! Chen Yue commanded lightly.

"Yes, Master Hou!" Shan Minglei agreed respectfully.

......

"This surnamed Chen wants to do three percent of the shares! Why didn't he go and grab it! Hearing Shen Heming talk about the conditions of the Governor's Palace, Lin Xiaotian jumped up angrily.

"He's just robbing!" Said silently and lightly.

"No, absolutely not. gave him thirty percent of the dry shares, plus the dots for the local officials in the court, how much money can we earn from selling salt through our hard work? Lin Xiaotian said angrily.

"I'm afraid that as soon as this case is opened, other officials will also reach out to do shares, and our business will be eaten alive by these greedy people. Then they will send people to meddle in our business, will these two Huaiyan Dao still have a foothold for us? Shen Mo shook his head.

"Then according to the two virtuous brothers, how should we deal with it?" Jiang Heming asked.

"him, drive the surname Chen out of Yangzhou, and let him know whose world this Yangzhou city is!" Lin Xiaotian shook his fist and said angrily.

"Well, Brother Lin is right, since we can't make concessions, although our relationship with Ping Nanhou is not life-and-death, but it can't coexist in Yangzhou." Silence also said,

"But it's not good to be right with the Governor's Palace, the Marquis of Pingnan has the power of the army, and there are tens of thousands of his troops inside and outside Yangzhou City, we are just a businessman, and the real sword and gun are not his opponents."

"Of course we are not opponents with real knives and real guns, but Brother Shen should not forget, we are the natives of Yangzhou City, and the 800,000 people in Yangzhou City are not dependent on us to make a living.

It's not that I'm boasting, the three of us join forces to stomp our feet, and this Yangzhou City will tremble.

Chen Yue is just an outsider who has just arrived, and he doesn't even know how deep this salt water is, so he wants to do something to us, and he doesn't weigh his own weight.

I admit that if he leads troops to fight, we are not his opponents when we are tied together, but if he plays others, he Chen Yue is still very tender! ”

Lin Xiaotian said gloomily.

"Don't go too far, Pingnanhou is in charge of the army, and it won't be good if he gets in a hurry." Seeing that both of them were agitated, Jiang Heming was relieved. As long as the three of them are willing to work together, there will be nothing unfair in Yangzhou.

"In this way, let's put pressure on Pingnanhou through the upper echelons of the imperial court first, and I will also go to the Salt Transport Envoy to find Lord Liang, and strive to make the Salt Transport Envoy stand on our side."

......

That night, Jiang Heming invited Liang Huanping, the salt transport envoy, to a banquet and told him about Pingnanhou's request for Sancheng dry shares.

"Lord Liang, I have promised to donate 500,000 taels of silver to help the army on behalf of the salt merchants, but the Lion of Pingnanhou opened his mouth widely, and I have to wait for thirty percent of the dry shares of the business, so the business cannot be done in this way. My lord, you are the salt transport envoy, the highest official of the two Huai salt administrations, and you must be the master for us. Jiang Heming complained to Liang Huanping.

Liang Huanping suddenly smiled bitterly, although he was a high-ranking official from the third grade and was in charge of the two Huai salt administrations, but in front of Chen Yue, a super-grade marquis with heavy troops, his weight was still too light.

"This official will try his best to persuade the Marquis of Pingnan and explain this matter to the imperial court." Liang Huanping assured, "But hasn't Ping Nanhou done anything yet?" Even if the official wants to intervene, there is no way to talk about it. ”

"Guanping Nanhou's past actions, it is impossible to lie, he will definitely make a move, maybe tomorrow. I just want to ask the adults to promise that if something really happens, they will stand by us. ”

Shen Heming looked at Liang Huanping with blazing eyes, if he was the most familiar with Huai Salt, as long as he didn't fall to Chen Yue's side, Chen Yue couldn't hold the handle of the salt merchants at all.

Although Liang Huanping and the officials of the Salt Transport Envoy Department were well fed on weekdays, in the face of such a strong enemy as Pingnanhou, Shen Heming did not dare to guarantee what choice they would make when the time came. Therefore, he must listen to Liang Huanping's personal promise.

Do I still have a choice? Hearing Shen Heming's question, Liang Huanping suddenly showed a wry smile. He fell too deep into the salt politics, and he was already covered in mud, and he couldn't shake it off even if he wanted to. Even if he turns to Chen Yue now, when he is held accountable in the future, he will not be able to escape the involvement of the two top officials of the Huai Salt Transport!

"Brother Shen, we are already grasshoppers on a rope, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about Lord Shifan, the Salt Governor, he has the right to hear about things."

Liang Huanping sighed and reminded.
