Lin Qingran did lay the groundwork for building the Slim West Lake. Although he was actually doing things to cultivate relatives and friends and eliminate dissidents, his methods were much more clever than those in the world.

It was precisely through morality that the standards for the gangs were set, which directly excluded many large salt merchants and recommended Cao Meng and others to take office. After completing the selection of the gangs, the gangs and salt method was also promoted in an orderly manner.

.

Nothing can be done overnight, and there are many details to be finalized, especially the issuance of salt quotas is a problem that can easily cause disputes.

If you can get more salt quotas, you will undoubtedly have the opportunity to make more money. Therefore, this issue still needs to be discussed repeatedly and finally achieve a result that can be accepted by all parties.

However, one thing is certain. Although Chen Boren obtained the quota of the Gangshang, the Shanxi merchants, who originally occupied half of the territory, have been severely damaged, and their share is only tenth.

It’s not that Lin Xuran didn’t want to kick the Shanxi merchant out directly, but that he did not have such a great hatred with the Shanxi merchant, and that the Shanxi merchant had already suffered heavy losses this time.

In contrast, the local gentry Cao Meng, Hui merchant Hu Dayong, Zhejiang merchant Xu Yunan, Weng Zirong, Hua Zijing and Jiaxing Lujia, etc., have become the central power of the Gangshang and the great winner of the Gangshen method.

.

Compared with Hui merchants, Zhejiang merchants obviously account for more quotas, but their quotas are all divided from Shanxi merchants, and the cake has become bigger, but there is no big controversy.

For the rest of August, Lin Weiran was busy with these things in Yangzhou City, pushing the salt method forward in an orderly manner.

September 1st, this is a memorable day.

Led by the United Business Group, Cao Meng, Hu Dayong, Xu Yun'an, Weng Zirong, Hua Zijing and others invested in the Yangzhou United Money Bank, and Hua Yingrong served as the chief shopkeeper of the money bank.

On the first day of its establishment, in addition to promising to issue interest-free loans to the stove owners of Lianghuai Salt Field, United Money Bank also posted an announcement on the acquisition of old salt in Yangzhou City, making a strong appearance.

"Which is singing about United Money House?"

"In the past, my ancestors had a few old quotations, but it was a pity!"

"Haha... I have two in my hand, but the price is not high!"

...

As the announcement of the acquisition of old salt was posted on the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City, many people surrounded the announcement and learned about the acquisition, but had different reactions.

The face price of a salt citation is 6 taels and 6 taels and 4 cents, while the price of the new salt citation will be 19 taels and 9 taels and 2 cents. There is undoubtedly a big difference here.

However, according to the current plan of the salt method, it takes a long time for the old salt to be consumed, especially the salt to be consumed in many ordinary people's hands is like waste money.

Since they have no background and money management, they no longer expect to use salt to attract salt to the salt farm. Now they have the opportunity to go to the United Money House to cash directly, which has led to a strong willingness to sell.

The value of the old quote cannot be measured at all. Some people have a gold note, but some people have a piece of waste paper, which depends largely on the status of the holder.

That's why after several trade-offs, the United Money Bank gave a purchase price of ten taels.

If it were put in the past, this price would have been dismissed by many big salt merchants. After all, the value of salt is far beyond the face price. However, with many big salt merchants being kicked out by Lin Weiran, and the cashing of the old quotations now has to go through the outline.

Business has caused old quotas to face a market with far oversupply.

The move of United Money Bank not only caused a response among the people of Yangzhou, but also attracted widespread attention from many vote holders, and many people were even ready to move.

The plan went smoothly. United Money Bank successively acquired a lot of old quotations, which was regarded as ensuring the supply of old quotations for future quotations and also fired the first shot in Yangzhou City.

But many times, plans always fail to keep up with changes, and all kinds of unexpected things will always occur.

Yangzhou New City is already a paradise for salt merchants. Not only did Chen Boren take root here, but he also bought luxury houses here, like Fan Qianshan and Yang Dashi, the leaders of Shanxi merchants.

With Lin Xuran's implementation of the salt law, the pattern of salt merchants in Lianghuai was reshuffled, and many Shanxi merchants appeared one after another, and some even planned to sell their houses and shops and leave Yangzhou.

"Ten taels? Throw it to him, I'll see if he can beat him!"

Yang Dashi hopes that good news will be heard in the capital. Fan Qianshan has gone north and has been staying at home these days to observe the situation. After learning that the United Money House has acquired the old turf, he immediately decided to throw out the salt turf in his hand and convert it into cash.

.

Due to the long-term accumulation of salt administration in the Ming Dynasty, the "super-exploitation" of salt induction has become a "fine tradition" of previous dynasties, and the accumulation induction has actually reached an astonishing number.

Even people with deep backgrounds like Yang Dashi actually hold a lot of old inspirations, which he bought from those without backgrounds at a low price.

It’s not that he didn’t want to replace all the old leads in his hands with salt, but that both Huaihei were transferred and sold to him for face, and it was impossible for him to give all the salt in Yangzhou all year round.

That's right, Yang Dashi has a strong relationship with Yang Bo. Like many salt merchants with backgrounds, he will stock up on many old attractions in his hands and plan to exchange them at the salt farm in batches year by year.

Now facing the acquisition of United Money Bank, especially in the current uncertain situation, he also chose to throw some salt to United Money Bank, choosing cash as king.

In just two days, nearly 10,000 pieces of salt were sold.

United Money Bank did not seem to have expected the market to be so fierce. When the door opened on the third day, it reduced the purchase price of salt from ten taels to eight taels, a full 20%.

"You dare to acquire it? Keep selling!"

Yang Dashi originally thought that United Money Bank was only purchasing part of the salt market to meet the needs of the Gangshang next year, but seeing that United Money Bank was only purchasing at a lower price, he immediately issued an order.

He has been engaged in the salt business for so long that he deeply knows that salt is not worth much at all, and what is really valuable is the invisible background and sales network.

However, no matter how capable Lin Qingran is, it is impossible to consume so many old attractions at once. His move was like spending money to buy a pile of waste paper, turning the money he had finally collected from Cao Meng and others into waste.

Paper.

As the United Money Bank's repurchase volume exceeded the amount required by Gangshang in three years, he saw a huge opportunity, an opportunity to cause the new salt merchant forces formed by Lin Junran to fall apart.

You know, the joint money shops were all invested in real money, but they found that Lin Qingran's big-breasted and brainless concubine bought a pile of waste paper and would definitely hold a grudge against Lin Qingran.

In just one day and a half, nearly 10,000 pieces of salt were sold.

Faced with the crazy market, United Money Bank showed obvious fatigue, and once again lowered the acquisition price of Yan Yin to six taels, directly falling below the face price of Yan Yin.

"Haha... It's such an idiot. I'll teach you a good lesson!"

Yang Dashi watched the United Money Bank continue to buy, but he endured the ecstasy in his heart. Not only did he smash the last piece of salt in his hand to the United Money Bank, but he also smashed all the old rushes on his hand to the United Money Bank.

United Money House.

The United Money House opened less than a week, but the result was that the loan was not included in the stove owners. The purchase of salt intake alone had consumed 300,000 taels.

Faced with this situation beyond expectations, Hua Yingrong also had to raise funds and transferred 200,000 taels from the Hangzhou United Money House.

Fortunately, the United Business Group has a strong credit, and the Zhejiang businessmen's Xu Yunan, Weng Zirong and others have accumulated a lot of money in Yangzhou, and finally quickly completed the allocation in other places through the allocation of two places.

However, this money transfer operation is not a secret in the salt business circle in Yangzhou. Everyone knows that the Yangzhou United Money Bank has run out of funds and has to transfer 200,000 taels from Hangzhou for emergency response.

It is just puzzling that Yangzhou United Money Bank seems to be in a quarrel with the acquisition of old salt yin, but it continues to open its doors to acquire old salt yin in the market.

"Haha... overestimating one's own ability, this is seeking death!"

Yang Dashi saw that Lin Shiran was so strong, but he joined forces with all the people who could contact him and continued to smash the old salt in his hand to the United Money Bank, trying to completely collapse through this action, and even let the United Money Bank go.

There was a burst of internal treasury.

"The price of six taels is too low, I won't sell it!"

Chen Boren has accumulated a lot of old quotes, but he has now become a sect merchant, but he will inevitably use them in the future. However, he directly rejected Yang Dashi's request.

Although he couldn't understand the actions of the United Money Bank, his old acquisition price was not low, and he was never an impulsive businessman, so he was unwilling to make this loss-making deal.

"President Chen, it's okay if you don't sell it. Then you can lend me salt first, right?" Yang Dashi looked at Chen Boren's stubbornness, but he held back his anger and said with a condition.

As long as he gets Chen Boren's old instinct and continues to smash it, the United Money Bank will definitely not be able to fight, and all the real money and silver will be replaced with a pile of waste paper. At that time, Cao Meng and others will definitely not hold on to Lin Qingran's stinky feet anymore, and

It is to find Lin Weiran to liquidate, and even the salt method ends.

Although Chen Boren was very unwilling to do so, he had to take into account his friendship with Yang Dashi and had to sell Yang Bo some face, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed to the plan.

The two sides quickly made a note of borrowing salt citations and handed over the salt citations on the spot for delivery.

After Yang Dashi got Chen Boren's salt seldom, he hurriedly sent someone to sell the salt seldom to United Money House in batches, waiting for the good news that United Money House was unable to acquire the salt seldom.

The matter was as he expected. With Chen Boren's old batch of salt being smashed to the United Money House, the silver coins of the United Money House were already exhausted again and closed the door one hour earlier that day.

The 500,000 taels of silver raised by the joint money house were replaced with old quotations, which confused the outside world, and even Cao Meng and others could no longer sit still.

As night fell, the lights were bright in the main hall of Lin Mansion.

The noise from the outside world seemed to be unable to spread here. The two maids gently lowered the bead curtain and quietly retreated. However, they did not leave directly, but were waiting outside the door.

Lin Weiran had already gotten into bed and was leaning against the bed and watching a strange novel.

As printing costs decrease, more and more weird novels appear on the market, many of which are wonderful stories that have not been seen in later generations. This is the novel that Lin Fu left behind today. He took it to pass the time, but did not want the story.

It's quite exciting, and he even picked it up again and continued to watch it.

Hua Yingrong had just finished handling the accounts of the United Money House. At this moment, she sat in front of the dressing table and took off the beautiful bead slit on her head. She lost a little elegance and luxury, but added some of the charm of a mature woman.

The clothes on her body were already thin, but she showed her noble figure. She looked dignified and virtuous and sat in front of the bronze mirror, like a beautiful scenery.

She carefully put the bead slit back into the jewelry box and asked naturally: "My husband, do you think we should transfer silver directly from Guangdong?"

With the current strength of the United Merchant Group, the mining of special gold mines has quietly begun, and the financial resources of the United Merchant Group have already reached a terrifying level.

It is only because the capital of the United Business Group is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, and the situation in Yangzhou has just opened up, so the deposit in the hands seems to be scarce, and even gives people the illusion that the United Business Group is overestimating its abilities.

"How long will it take to transfer silver from Guangdong?" Lin Weiran's eyes remained on the book and asked in a plain manner.

Hua Yingrong thought for a while and gave the answer: "If you walk on the sea, you will be quicker, but it may take two months!"

"Then there is no need to be such a trouble. Just solve it directly here in Yangzhou!" Lin Qingran knew very well that it was troublesome and unsafe to mobilize escorts in this era, especially the current sea routes are not necessarily very safe, but he shook his head gently.

Hua Yingrong turned her head happily, and asked with her eyes shining brightly, "Mr., do you have a solution?"

You know, Yang Dashi and other Shanxi merchants are already fighting with them, and they still don’t know how many old quotations they have. And if they want to continue to buy back salt quotations, they are facing the dilemma of funds.

Even though Cao Meng and others were willing to believe them, Cao Meng could not bring out all his assets. He even came over today and tried to persuade her to stop purchasing Yan Yin.

Now, it is probably difficult to second the funds from Cao Meng and others.

"Since you want to build a money shop, you can't just think about how much money you have, but you must find a way to borrow a chicken to lay eggs!" Lin Weiran looked up and saw Hua Yingrong's smile looked very beautiful, and his mood also changed.

Reply well.

"My husband, how do you borrow a chicken to lay eggs?" Hua Yingrong thought carefully and asked extremely seriously.

Lin Weiran put down the book, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, reached out and patted the bed next to him, "Madam, come to the bed first, my husband will tell you the story tonight!"
