Liu Han was not troublesome at all, and went to the hundred workshops to find himself and explain in detail the obstacles encountered by the imperial court in Yangzhou to implement the salt policy innovation. [Full text reading.]

These words were quite long, and they took a lot of time, Zhen Niang listened carefully, but she didn't interrupt with questions, but just kept adding water to him.

"In business, the risk of this business is that it may anger the Jiangnan family, but if there are important ministers of the imperial court, or the royal family, the risk will be greatly reduced, on the contrary, although we will offend the Jiangnan family in a short period of time, but in fact, we are helping the Jiangnan family, the reason is very simple, the court can not wait endlessly, the Jiangnan family's move is actually a demonstration to the imperial court, the emperor still has patience, but if this patience is exhausted, the matter of Chen Guo will happen in Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan family involved in it is bound to be hit hard, so they have figured it out, not only will they not resent us, but will be grateful to us, so, in the next thought, there will be a bit of risk in the initial stage, and in the long run, there will be little risk. ”

"What does Mr. want to be a concubine?" asked Zhen Niang at this time.

"Once the salt number is established, it will face all kinds of complicated situations, and a person is needed to preside over the overall situation, this person must not only be long-sleeved and good at dancing, but also cultivate deeply, and I and the shopkeeper Zhang hope that you can take on this great responsibility. Liu Han said solemnly.

"Why didn't Mr. himself go? With Mr.'s means, it should be more than enough to deal with those people in Jiangnan. Zhen Niang blinked her eyes, and a wave of charm came to her face.

Liu Han smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to go, but the affairs of the imperial capital are not finished, and I lack skills in the next part." ”

Zhen Niang nodded slightly, and then asked: "Some time ago, I received a letter from Sanniang, Mr. wants our Demon Gate to help, I don't know what help Mr. needs?"

Liu Han nodded slightly: "After the three families of Wang Xutian were defeated some time ago, I was very worried that they would rush to Caoyun, and then set off Poland in the court and deal with me with the power of the imperial court, and I lacked a master to escort the ship, so I hope that your family can send a few masters to escort the ship." ”

Zhen Niang pondered for a moment and asked, "Why didn't Xiao Yu ask for help from inside the door?"

"Brother Xiao has already asked for help from the door, but" Liu Han shrugged regretfully: "They haven't heard back until now, which is also an important reason why I can't go to Yangzhou." ”

"The grain in Jiangnan matures early, according to the convention, the Cao Yun will start from Jiangnan after a month to a month and a half, and it will take about ten days to half a month to Pengcheng, so at the earliest, from mid-May to the end of the month, you will have Pengcheng to take over the Cao Yun. Zhen Niang thought about it and said, Liu Han nodded slightly, agreeing with her inference.

"From Pengcheng to the imperial capital, there are nearly a thousand miles on the waterway, and on this road, there are more than a dozen desolate places for attack"

Liu Han shook his head slightly: "My judgment is not like this, if the Cao transport fleet is completely overturned, the imperial court will inevitably investigate, this is setting themselves on fire, they will not do this, they will take actions as if we were making our own mistakes, so let the imperial court punish us." ”

Zhen Niang thought about it and nodded yes, and then said, "However, if I want to go to Yangzhou, I can't help you." ”

"Thank you for bothering. Liu Han saluted slightly, and then sighed: "If Zhen Niang wants to go to Yangzhou, she will have to find another way here." After a pause, he said, "So, Zhen Niang agreed to go to Yangzhou?"

"Did the King of Yanping and the Prince of Xiao Zhao agree?" Zhen Niang did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"The two princes have basically agreed, and tomorrow I will meet with the shopkeeper of Baigongfang to discuss specific matters. ”

"What are those specific matters?" Zhen Niang immediately asked.

"Including the specific amount of silver to be produced, the amount of silver to be contributed by each family, the share of each family, how to distribute dividends in the future, and the people to be sent to the salt trumpet by each family, and what their duties and powers are, all these must be discussed. Liu Han folded his fingers and explained: "The simplest thing is that this piece of money can't be calculated according to how much silver they each produce, the king of Yanping County and the prince of Xiao Zhao, their silver may be less, but their identities are different, there will be more parts, and there are specific people who operate salt in Jiangnan, simply put, it is Zhen Niang, you may have less silver, but there are more people, so this matter is very complicated and needs to be discussed by several families." ”

Zhen Niang was not tempted, silently picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and put the teacup down, her every move was extremely elegant and generous, without a trace of fireworks, but every inch was full of women's charm.

"Mr. Liu, let me be in charge of a Qinglou, I am confident that I can do it well, but I can manage the salt number, and the slave family has never done it. Zhen Niang showed a trace of worry, and the pity in people's hearts naturally rose.

"It doesn't matter, one reason, one reason, in my opinion, the principle of running a green building is the same as operating a salt number. Liu Han looked at Zhen Niang with admiring eyes and watched her moves.

Zhen Niang was a little surprised, and said to herself in disbelief: "Really?"

Liu Han nodded: "That's the case, I haven't been involved in Caoyun before, and I'm not doing the same now, in fact, as long as Yantian buys it and then hands it over to the salt workers to take care of, you just need to manage the quality and sales channels and control the cost." ”

"It sounds very simple," Zhen Niang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What is Xiao Yu's opinion?"

"He was more hesitant, but this salt number has nothing to do with him and Fengyulou, it is the business of my Hanhai Trading Company. Liu Han replied.

Zhen Niang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly: "Since you will make a steady profit and not lose money, why don't you agree." ”

Liu Han suddenly breathed an undisguised sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Great, tomorrow I will discuss with the shopkeeper, and this salt shopkeeper will be wronged by Zhen Niang." ”

"To tell the truth, in the past two years, the need in the door has become greater and greater, and the silver has become more and more difficult to earn, and the profit of salt is the world's premier profit, and there is no reason for the slave family to refuse such an opportunity. ”

Even when she is frank, Zhen Niang's is still full of feminine charm.

"With Sanniang at the helm, our salt number will become fifty percent. Liu Han smiled.

"Fifty percent?" Zhen Niang smiled, her eyes flowing: "The slave family thought it was eighty percent." ”

Liu Han laughed: "Fifty percent is already a lot, and if eighty percent is enough, the emperor must be pulled in." ”

"Your Majesty?!" Zhen Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "With the emperor's support, it's not ten percent, Mr. Liu is really whimsical." ”

"Whimsical?" Liu Han shook his head and said, "Do you know? The most anxious person now is not us, it is the emperor, he can't wait for someone to take over the salt fields tomorrow." ”

Zhen Niang nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup and made a gesture of tea, Liu Han responded with tea, the two of them took a sip each, and after putting down the teacup, Liu Han took the initiative to lift the teapot to add water to Zhen Niang.

"Mr. Liu can make such a big business, and his knowledge is really extraordinary, but what the slave family is curious about is how Mr. pulls the emperor in?

"Pull the emperor into shares, this matter has to be handed over to the king of Yanping County and the prince of Xiao Zhao to do, I can't do it, as for the latter, I just don't worry the most," Liu Han smiled: "The emperor can be the emperor, and his mind is naturally different from others, in addition, the emperor also has to take care of his reputation, this little money has to be robbed, then the first emperor is afraid that he will see the wrong person." ”

"Mr. is very confident," Zhen Niang said with a smile: "Mr. just recited, the slave family only memorized half of the poem, can Mr. chant it again." ”

Liu Han was a little embarrassed in his heart, and said casually: "

Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy in peach blossom nunnery. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money.

When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.

I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse. The car dust and horses are full of fun for the rich, and the wine cup is rich in flowers.

If you compare the rich with the poor, one on the flat earth and the other in the heavens. If he is poor ** chariot and horse, he has to drive me to be idle.

Others laugh at me, and I laugh at others who can't see through it. I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and there are no flowers and no wine hoeing fields. ”

When Liu Han chanted poetry, Zhen Niang's beautiful eyes always looked at him gently, Liu Han was a little puzzled in his heart, Zhen Niang sighed softly, her eyes were misty, and her voice seemed to be floating in the air.

"Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy in peach blossom nunnery. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. The Peach Blossom Fairy in the Peach Blossom Temple, who is the Peach Blossom Fairy in the Peach Blossom Temple?"

Liu Han turned his head to look at the patio, the sky gradually darkened, and there was still residual light sprinkled on the eaves, reflecting the red tiles even redder, and the green wall was also dyed with a faint layer of red.

"Xanadu, in fact, to avoid the distractions of the world, who doesn't want to find such a place? But who can find it? If there is such a place, Zhen Niang, you tell me, I will go too." ”

Zhen Niang smiled lightly, her teeth were white, and her lips were red, which made Liu Han forget her age in an instant, feeling that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, not more than thirty, and there was a hot breath in her abdomen, and she had the urge to press her under her and play with her.

The internal breath flowed, and the heat disappeared in an instant, Liu Han was secretly shocked in his heart, and looked at Zhen Niang intently, and his heart suddenly became suspicious.

"Yes," Zhen Niang sighed softly, the loneliness and helplessness was pitiful: "There is a peach blossom source, we are just the dust of the world, floating there, falling there, but we can't help ourselves." ”

Liu Han was even more surprised, and was thinking about how to trick her, but Zhen Niang had already gotten up.

"I don't keep any male guests here, sir, please please, Zhen Niang won't send Mr. ”

The surprise in Liu Han's heart was even stronger, he didn't leave any male guests, and at this time he asked him to go back, the city gate was closed, and he had to rush to the manor in the west of the city tonight.

The woman in white reappeared and led him out of the manor, Liu Han whistled, and the panther jumped out of the flowers, chewing while running with a big mouth.

"Such a good flower, you foolishness. Liu Han slapped it on the head, and the panther grinned, and shook its tail in a daze.

Liu Han got on the horse, shook the reins, the black panther spread its feet, and a gust of wind blew through the peach forest, and pieces of petals fluttered behind him.

In the manor, in a small building, Zhen Niang stood in front of the window, looking at the fluttering petals, and there was an indescribable solemnity between her eyebrows.

A masked man walked up to her silently from behind, also looking at the raised petals, this masked man was actually a man, and it was the shopkeeper of Baigongfang who was going to meet Liu Han tomorrow.

After a long time, the masked man sighed lightly: "Why did you let him go, didn't you say it's okay." ”

"He was not deceived by me, and if he did, it could not be fruitless, and it would have alerted him. Zhen Niang replied, there was an indescribable loss in her expression, she was silent, and sighed: "Actually, Sanniang and Qingqing have slept with him, and it will be clear if you ask them, but you can't trust them." ”

"Sanniang has fallen in love with him," the masked man said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you want to deal with him, you must not let them know." ”

"Aren't you dealing with him?" said Zhen Niang

"I didn't deal with him, I just wanted to confirm whether he was the person I thought he was. ”

"Who the hell is he? What are you thinking?"

The masked man didn't answer, just quietly looked at the direction of Liu Han's departure, the petals had fallen, the sky became a little gloomy, and the willow forest in the distance made a soft sound, in this quiet manor, the evening spread far away.

"You masters and apprentices, you all like this, mysterious and secretive!" Zhen Niang sighed.

The masked man still did not speak, like a statue, standing motionless, the wind blowing from the river, stirring his clothes, but unable to lift a corner of his scarf.

"Let's find another way," Zhen Niang said, "Do you really want me to go to Yangzhou?"

The masked man hummed: "If Liu Han wants to go, it will naturally be the best, but unfortunately, he really can't get out of the imperial capital, and the third child of the Wang family is not a person who easily admits defeat." ”

"Will the Wang family really attack Caoyun? will this anger the palace?"

"Wang Laosan won't be so stupid," the masked man said coldly, with some disdain in his tone: "This Liu Han is really a character, he expects the enemy to be the first, and he is ahead of everything, I estimate that Wang Laosan may be difficult to please this time." ”

"Well, I think so, this time the old ancestor of the Wang family may have miscalculated, and he lost his wife and soldiers. There was a kind of schadenfreude in Zhen Niang's tone.

"This old thing can't be underestimated, back then, how powerful the king of Shaoyang County was, didn't he also fold under the calculation of this old thing," the masked man said: "Don't look at him nesting in the Bohai Sea, his ears and eyes can be all over the government and the opposition, there is the feeling of overthrowing Shaoyang back then, the world's gate valves feel that they owe him the Wang family, the power behind them cannot be underestimated, Liu Han is afraid that he will fold in this battle if he doesn't pay attention to it." ”

"Oh, is it?" Zhen Niang thought about it slightly, shook her head and said: "Not necessarily, almost ten years have passed, and the love of Shaoyang's case is almost the same, besides, those gate valve families are all shrunken turtles, and there are very few who dare to stand up and charge into battle, besides, the power behind this Liu Han should not be underestimated, Xiao Zhao, the king of Yanping County, I heard that he was recommended by Xue Yu to enter the forbidden army." ”

The masked man snorted softly: "Whether it is the prince of Yanping County, Xiao Zhao, or Xue Yu, it is not enough to rely on, but I am worried about the internal guard." ”

"Internal guard?" Zhen Niang was very surprised, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the masked man.

The masked man's mood did not show any fluctuations.

"Yes, Neiwei, Liu Han has the cultivation of a top-grade grandmaster, he is not a person like Shaoyang, but an outlaw who walks the trade road of the Western Regions, and he will never be caught with his hands tied, even if the Wang family brings him down, most of his strength will be lost, I am afraid that he will have to be subdued for ten years, and the Wang family is in decline. ”

The things in the world are complicated, the same grievances and grievances between the families, the Wang family has been convinced for ten years, if it is convinced for another ten years, there is no family in the world that can be convinced for twenty years, the Wang family is bound to be surpassed by other families, and the first gate valve in Jizhou may not be able to keep it.
