Because of this disposal method, the so-called top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou have changed more than half, and there are even people who are not in the top ten rushing in, you must know that before the appearance of Zhao Ziying, the characters and ranking of the top ten salt merchants have lasted for more than a hundred years, and no one would have thought that it would change suddenly because of Xuzhou.

Although the wealthy businessmen in Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou are under the roof of Zhao Ziying, and they have various requests for Zhao Jin in relation to making a fortune, they are still a little unconvinced in their hearts, and they always want to get back to their own field and save their poor self-esteem.

Zhao Jin went to the banquet to discuss, the wealthy businessmen naturally had to lay out the delicacies, as much as possible to put on a luxurious style, otherwise it was disrespectful to Zhao Jin, but also lost their own face, originally this Qinhuai and Yangzhou Yingying Yanyan were invited to perform at the banquet, if Zhao Jin and his partners fancy which, bring it back to Xuzhou directly, this is also a common tone of Jianghuai wealthy businessmen, but this was strictly rejected in advance, which dispelled the idea.

However, there is no female music advocating excellence, and the banquet itself is also amazing, when Zhao Jin was a guest at the Wang family, there was a dish at the banquet, which was two knuckle length shredded meat, the entrance was smooth and tender, the taste was delicious, and it tasted very much like shredded chicken, Zhao Jin casually asked, "How to make this chicken?" But I didn't expect this to be pigeon breast meat, and it is the middle of the pigeon breast, this is the most tender and fresh part, in order to make this dish, it consumes more than 100 pigeons.

Hearing this, Zhao Jin was taken aback, thinking that it was so extravagant, this matter quickly spread in Qingjiangpu, and the wealthy businessmen were all talking about it, and they all said in private, this Xuzhou Zhao Jin is so capable, he has earned so much money, and he is still ordinary in terms of enjoying the pattern, and he only knows that the rough rice such as scones and pickled vegetables and mutton can compare to the heritage of our Qingjiangpu.

You have to find face everywhere, you can't find it everywhere, it's rare to win in food and drink, and everyone feels elated.

In the next banquet, he ate the famous dish of only cutting a piece of meat on the back of the pig, only using the piece of meat under the fish's eye, and what seafood from the sea, the hump from Saibei, and even the bear's paw venison from outside the Guan, etc., Zhao Jin didn't eat how delicious it was, but he felt fresh and interesting, anyway, these merchants could afford to supply, and there was no need to let them save.

When Zhao Jin was drinking and feasting at another house, the kitchen from preparing materials to serving, a whole set of processes were guarded by the family, and every link that might do tricks and feet was closely watched, and every dish sent to Zhao Jin's table, including tea, wine and snacks, must be tasted by three people first, and then it could be sent, according to Ma Chonghao's words, if there is really a heart, the means of harming people can be said to be pervasive, and they must be strictly guarded.

After Zhao came in to Qingjiangpu, the center of Zhao Ziying's handling of government affairs also came here, and the news from all directions was still summarized by Wang Zhaojing every day, and the cronies of the local Yunshan Xing head office were also transferred to assist, since the turmoil in Jining and Qingzhou Mansion, the famous officers and troops of the three southern Hebei provinces have been deployed and recruited, and after Zhao came in to Qingjiangpu, the newly trained 3,000 officers and troops in Henan also began to be deployed.

Henan's newly organized military camp is located in Yifeng County, which is the closest county to Guide Province, just on the edge of the Yellow River, but it cannot be said that this deployment has any target, after all, Henan did not put this army of soldiers and horses in Guide Mansion, even if the soldiers and horses were placed in Guide Province, it is also a matter of course from the legal point of view.

Looking at it as a matter of course, the relevant aspects of Zhao Ziying will not take it lightly, from the general trend, this is the second child that fell against Xuzhou, but this second child did not touch the bottom line of Zhao Ziying, indicating that the court is also measured.

This year, there have been earthquakes and floods in the provinces of Daming, but generally speaking, it is quite peaceful, the Mongolian departments in the north, the Jianzhou Jurchens in the northeast have not moved, and the Tusi in the southwest have been suppressed by the officials and troops to the remote territory of Guizhou, and the victory of Mao Wenlong on Phi Island, several big victories of the southwest officials and troops, has made the three years of the Apocalypse a little better, someone has already said something "Zhongxing", but it was quickly suppressed by all parties, this word is too inappropriate.

There is also news from the Jingshi, saying that the imperial court has sent official documents to the governors, general systems, governors, general soldiers, deputy generals, and staff generals of the provinces, telling them not to slack off in training soldiers and horses, and not to relax because of the peace of this year, because the great enemies of Mongolia and Jurchen are still there, and the southwest is not completely calm, so you must not be careless.

Although the officers and troops of Fengyang, the governor of Fengyang, and the soldiers and horses of the deputy general of Wolf Mountain are equal to surrounding Qingjiangpu on three sides, they are also practicing non-stop at this time, but the actions of the officers and soldiers have not affected the festive atmosphere of Qingjiangpu at all. When the time comes, it will be paid according to the wins and losses, and as for the rich and decent, they will go to the competition to watch the competition, and they will eat, drink and have fun there.

It's just that this atmosphere has nothing to do with Zhao Jin and them, they still go to various houses to have banquets every day, tirelessly finalize various business details, and even take time to go to the place where the Yanhe River and the Yellow River meet, and the requests of Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou businessmen began to be a lot more urgent, and there were many games in the first few days of the competition, but the more it went to the end, the fewer the games, and it was not good to really show up in the last few games, so what was the meaning of calming people's hearts.

On this matter, Zhao Jin is very conformist, on the twentieth day of the lunar month, the martial arts conference decided a total of sixty-four strong players, the martial artists in it, or invited by each family, or they have their own background strength, or they are already famous figures, there is no one weak, every duel is worth looking forward to, for many people, this competition will not start until this time, the lottery money has begun to skyrocket, the whole Qingjiangpu is more and more festive, Zhao Jin is going to participate in the opening of the top 32 competition, In the future, we will try to come to every show as much as possible.

At this time, there are more and more officials and gentry and wealthy people who come to watch, and it is said that there are also bigwigs with titles in Nanjing City, of course, it is a micro-service trip, and the tickets and seats in the martial arts arena have become very rare and precious, at this time, even if Zhao Jin's safety is important, he can't bring too many guards into the venue, otherwise it will be too difficult for local businessmen to do.

Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce was quite cautious to propose the construction of the building, I thought that I would be reprimanded by Zhao Jin's cronies, but I didn't expect everyone to be very cooperative, since it is to calm people's hearts, then we can't make the atmosphere too tense, and follow the entry of the armor family to compress to thirty, naturally it is not possible to ride a horse, in the martial arts field and other similar places to the city, there is no need to worry about any danger, however, this martial arts field must be carefully inspected inside and outside in advance, and there must be a family patrol outside, these are all things that must be done.

After the sixty-four players were decided, the competition was suspended for a day, and Yunshan Xing sent people to clean the "cornucopia" martial arts arena inside and out, and the patrol Ding carefully inspected this side, and then blocked it, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, so he waited until Zhao came in the next day.

Just like when Zhao came in to Qingjiangpu, the rich and noble people who were qualified to enter the martial arts arena to watch the battle came here early to wait, but the martial artists who participated in the competition were resting and preparing, and those who just bought tickets to come in to watch the competition did not have a few people coming, and they didn't need to talk about these etiquettes, everyone who came here early went to the neighborhood to have an early breakfast, or directly in the area around the martial arts hall to have fun until the morning, and now they are recovering their spirits, and they just go in when the competition starts.

Zhao Jin and his partners did not have the habit of getting up late, counting that the time was about the same, they came here together, and the same as the one who promised the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Jin was accompanied by a few partners, and he took a company of horseback riders, thirty people to escort him in, and the others were outside with the patrolmen to check the people entering to prevent any danger.

When they were about to enter the venue, several leading figures of the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce stepped forward and whispered a few words, this martial arts conference has reached this stage, and it is not only those rich idlers and gentlemen who come to see it, but also the female relatives of the noble families in Nanjing and Jiangnan, and the direction of Jiangnan is the first to open up the atmosphere, but this style is too shocking, and even Zhao Jin was taken aback.

Speaking of the reason is very simple, in addition to those martial artists who came to participate in the competition, and the generals of the wealthy families, there are also children from noble families, and even scholars and scholars, these are either family martial arts, or calligraphy and swords, and people are handsome, naturally they are talked about by the ladies of various families, and as long as these characters are not from a poor family, often the family affairs have already been decided, although they do not meet before marriage, it is always an excellent thing to see the demeanor of their own Langjun on such an occasion, and this martial arts conference is coaxing everywhere in Nanzhili, The whole family can come and see a few shows, and they can rush back before the year.

It just so happens that there is a box for the rich in this "cornucopia" martial arts arena, which is suitable for these female dependents, so as not to suffer from wind and frost, and lest they show their heads.

Of course, when the ladies and daughters came in a carriage, it was naturally inconvenient for them to be inspected by Zhao Ziying's family inspectors, so it was necessary to let Zhao Jin be accommodating.
