Chapter 358: The Wind Rises in Yangzhou
"Limber is coming," a young voice came from the mist, a light breeze blew away the mist, revealing the scene in the pool, several beautiful women wearing belly pockets were surrounding a sturdy young man, the young man was lying on the waterbed, the waterbed was obliquely down, the young man was lying on the bed, two beauties stretched out their slender jade hands, pinched on the back of the fine red, and two other beauties, sitting next to the man's head, one feeding wine, the other feeding fruit.

Lin Yan didn't go over, still lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, like a Qinglou girl who had just come out to meet a guest, careful and respectful. Turning a blind eye to this somewhat desolate scene.
"Is everything settled?"
"Back to the second son," Lin Zhen replied cautiously: "I have already said it, in addition, I also greeted the Cao Gang and the boat gangs, and the salt cannot be transported without the salt number agreed by the trade association." ”
"Well," the second prince smiled with satisfaction, sucked the wine that the beauty sent to his lips, and then sighed comfortably: "Lin Bo, what do you say this Lord Gu thinks, he is a good Qincha, but you can't do anything hard, these years, we Jiangnan people have been less in the imperial capital, but they are not soft persimmons, let people pinch them casually." ”
"What the second young master said is, but, second young master, after all, this Lord Gu and Lord Ju are the imperial court, if you want them to make concessions and agree to our conditions, I'm afraid that the imperial capital still has to exert some force, and if we go down like this, we will be too passive. ”
"That's right, the eldest brother said, the imperial capital has already sent someone, and they replied that the heat is not yet yet, and when the fire arrives, it is easy to speak. ”
"The old man understood. Lin Zhen bowed and was about to turn around and go out, when the second young master shouted: "Don't drive, Lin Bo, a bubble, these girls are not bad." ”
"Second Young Master, there are still a lot of things waiting for me in the store, and I really don't have time. Lin Yan didn't follow the second young master's intentions this time, replied with a little dissatisfaction, and then resolutely turned around.
The second young master raised half of his body, and looked over here, Lin Zhen's figure had disappeared into the greenery, the second young master shook his head slightly, and gently twisted it on the beauty's face, and then lay down again.
On the surface of the canal, the painting boat floats slowly on the river, the three middle-aged people in the painting boat are quietly drinking tea, there is a faint sound of the piano behind the cabin, the breeze ripples on the river, the white sails are dotted, on the dock, several boats are docking, and the porters are unloading the grain from the boat.
"Fifth Master, there is no news from the imperial capital?" The slightly chubby middle-aged man in a cotton robe finally broke his silence and began to ask.
"The news is still that, now is not the time," the middle-aged man in the middle who looked slightly lazy smiled faintly: "Brother He, this tea has to be rolled three times before it tastes, and this Yangzhou salt policy innovation has just begun, don't worry, Brother Yang, isn't your association decided, and no one will be in the nest, right?"
"Who dares!" The most well-dressed of the three replied with a disdainful expression and a little arrogance: "Fifth master, rest assured, this matter is the matter of the whole Yangzhou Salt Number, not only the matter of my Fengyi and Fusheng Lin family, but the affairs of the entire Yangzhou and Jiangnan, and even the whole world.
"This white-clothed man, Lord Gu," Brother He said with some concern: "Shilin is very famous, Fifth Master, I'm worried about what he will do." ”
"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, Brother He, don't worry, besides, it's really not good, we can also ask the prince to come forward." ”
"Lord ,...."
"The prince is also suitable to come forward now, alas, if you want to say that the salt policy is reformed, I support it, but it is best for us Jiangnan people to implement it, or, let the prince preside. ”
"The fifth master is so right, only we know the Yangzhou Salt Administration best. ”
"By the way, are there any of our people in the camp?"
"No, there are still a few in the outer courtyard, and none in the inner courtyard, this white-clothed scholar is not simple, and he will quietly clear all of our people. ”
Gu Wei didn't seem to know that his letter only slightly stirred the salt number in Yangzhou, and it quickly subsided, and the next day, he sent out another letter, this time causing a lower reaction, and the shopkeeper of the top ten salt numbers didn't even come to the salt god temple gathering, quietly.
On the third day, Gu Wei returned to the official letter and continued to send letters to all salt numbers in Yangzhou, telling them that the auction would be held in two days, and inviting all the salt numbers who received the invitation letter to be present at that time to participate in the auction. But the salt shopkeepers in Yangzhou seem to have eaten the scales and have an iron heart, and there is still no movement.
On the fourth day, Gu Wei sent another letter to the top ten salts, once again explaining the imperial court's strategy for salt industry innovation, and told the top ten salts that the imperial court had decided to lower the salt tax to seven taxes and one, hoping that they could tide over the difficulties with the imperial court.
Again, the letter did not make waves.
That is, on this day, near the wharf outside Yangzhou City, there was a salt number named Maoyuan quietly opened, the shopkeeper of this salt number was a beautiful woman, and the second shopkeeper was a chubby middle-aged man.
The opening of the salt number did not alarm the salt merchants in Yangzhou, there are many salt numbers opened every year, these salt numbers are mostly traders, that is, the purchase of salt from various salt farms, and then trafficking to other places, such salt numbers will never dare to offend the trade association, otherwise the association will not be able to buy salt anymore under an order.
Maoyuan's shopkeeper did not come forward on the opening day, and the second shopkeeper came forward, a chubby middle-aged man, anyone who saw this middle-aged man would think that he was a businessman, and he would smile when he met people, and greet people when he saw them.
The trade association received a letter from Maoyuan on the same day, but the wealthy salt shopkeepers of the trade association did not take the salt number seriously, only two or three families sent people to give gifts, and the others did not bother to pay attention.
On the last day, Gu Wei was still writing a letter, this time the scope of the sending was wider, in addition to the top ten salts, but also to Lu Yuzhang in Yangzhou and Huainan Wangfu, before, he had not had any contact with Huainan Wangfu, Huainan Wangfu has always remained silent on the matter of salt reform, and the subordinate officials of the palace have expressed their support on official occasions, but in private, there are different sayings circulating.
In the evening, Gu Wei Qingyi hat, take a child to walk along the street at will, Yangzhou is different from other places, there is no curfew at night in Yangzhou, citizens can play on the street all night, Yangzhou's business is developed, most of the goods from the south to the north are in transit, and people who have been busy for a day walk into the various fireworks willow alleys at night.
Gu Wei Shi Ran walked across the street, sometimes stopped by the roadside stall, picked up the things on the stall to see, and chatted with the stall owner, the sky was getting dark, there were not many people on the street, and there were bursts of silk and bamboo sounds from the green building next to it.
Gu Wei quickly walked into an alley, the alley was paved with bluestone, and in the dim sky, it seemed very quiet, Gu Wei Shi Ran walked in, and the little boy followed him.
There was a small door in the middle of the alley that suddenly opened, and a pretty girl came out again, and when she saw Gu Wei, she first saluted Gu Wei, Gu Wei smiled at her, the pretty girl took a step back, and Gu Wei walked into the small door gently.
The two did not say a word, and, apparently, they were familiar.
Gu Wei looked at it while walking, the yard was very elegant, but it was a little messy, obviously the owner had just moved here. He didn't meet anyone else, and apparently, the master had already ordered it, and the road was all vacant.
Walking into a moon gate, the pretty girl stopped, and the little boy who had been following Gu Wei also stopped.
Gu Wei walked into the courtyard, there was a light in the small building, a Miaoman figure stood under the plum tree in front of the building, the light shone on her side face, Gu Wei took two steps when she saw this, and the woman looked at him and was overjoyed.
Gu Wei stepped forward, didn't say anything, gently took the woman into his arms, the woman hugged him tightly, stuck to his arms, for a while, before looking up at him, Gu Wei lowered her head and choked her lips, and the woman warmly catered to him.
After a while, the two separated, Gu Wei still held her thin waist and sighed softly: "I have worked hard for you this time." ”
"What are you doing here, it's not for you, the enemy. The woman is like a little girl, and there is a slight coquettishness in her tone.
Gu Wei is still holding her waist, her waist is as soft as more than ten years ago, her skin is still as delicate as more than ten years ago, and the towering **** is still so firm.
"I'm afraid I'm going to be here for a few years. ”
"Hmm. The woman replied in a low voice, her eyes still looking at him stupidly.
Gu Wei let go of her, grabbed her waist with one hand, hugged her and walked into the house, the two walked very slowly, Gu Wei said as he walked: "This time the matter is very troublesome, tomorrow's pat horse should be no problem, the problem is how to transport the salt out of Yangzhou after buying, in addition, Lu Yuzhang, I'm afraid he won't be reconciled, both official and business, and even use **** to suppress you, Zhen Niang, I'm really sorry, I implicated you." ”
Zhen Niang leaned on his shoulder, her figure was relatively tall, but standing next to Gu Wei looked more petite, only to his shoulder.
"Haven't you all come over like this all these years," Zhen Niang's tone was slightly resentful, Gu Wei stopped and turned to look at her, Zhen Niang also looked up at him.
Gu Wei stroked her face, under the light, she could see more clearly, this face was very familiar, her skin was white and tender, just like when he first saw her more than ten years ago, the only thing that remained unchanged was that her charm was a little more mature, but this not only did not weaken her beauty, but also added a few different plumpness.
"I'm old. ”
"I don't see it, it's the same as before. Gu Wei stroked her face carefully, unconcealing the desire in her eyes.
"You're going to lie. The woman smiled, like a peony in full bloom, which made Gu Wei stunned, he immediately took action, picked the woman up horizontally, and rushed into the inner room quickly, and after a while, a palpitating gasp sounded in the room.
...........
...........
After the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, the woman clung to Gu Wei's body, the afterglow of satisfaction was still the same, Bai Shengsheng's fingers drew circles on Gu Wei's body, the quilt was messy, most of the woman's naked back was exposed, and there was a thin layer of redness on her skin.
The two of them snuggled up like this, and they didn't speak for a long time, and the room was warm again.
After a long time, Gu Wei broke the silence.
"I'm still not at ease, although your Demon Gate is strong, but it is divided, Zhen Niang, Lu Yuzhang, and Huainan Wangfu, the strength is strong, you are in the land of tigers and wolves, there is a good one, how can it be good?"
Zhen Niang pursed her mouth like a little girl, reached out to cover his mouth, and said in a greasy voice: "Don't speak." ”
Gu Wei closed her mouth very obediently, and hugged Zhen Niang tighter with her arms. (To be continued.) )
