Since the grain was being collected in the border town, it has become directly recruiting silver to exchange salt in salt production areas. The Sichuan-Shaanxi merchants, which were once very popular in the Huai River due to their geographical advantages, suddenly fell apart... Sichuan merchants have changed to specialize in well salt, while Shaanxi merchants withdrew from Yangzhou. On the contrary, Hui merchants' status among many salt merchants has risen sharply. Although Shanxi merchants are rich in wealth and Jiangyou merchants are quite capable, they still cannot suppress Hui merchants from gradually leading the salt industry.

There was Wang Xuanyi in front of the salt merchant in Xin'an and Mr. Cheng later. Wang Xuanyi was only a farmer in his early years, but Mr. Cheng once passed the imperial examination. These two outstanding figures with different backgrounds but different paths have not been known to have covered up many equally outstanding people in the Jiangyou Merchant Gang. Therefore, Wang Xuanyi's grandson Wang Daomin has now turned against Mr. Cheng, the salt priest of Hui merchants, who are now. The Shanxi merchants and the Jiangyou Merchant Gang are naturally happy to see it, and even support them strongly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the consultation ten days later. As for the location, it was not located elsewhere, but the famous Xin'an Guild Hall in Yangzhou City. Although the time was set at Si time, after Chen time, there were constantly carriages coming, blocking the originally wide long street in front of the Xin'an Guild Hall. All the horses pulling the carriage were excellent breeds from the north, and whether it was the coachman or the servants who followed the carriage, they were all selected from the best, so that they would not be embarrassed in front of others.

After getting off the bus, some of the merchants greeted familiar people, and some entered by themselves, but most people would ask the servants waiting in the Xin'an Guild Hall one thing, that is, Mr. Cheng's whereabouts. When he heard that Mr. Cheng had arrived early in the morning, he did not come with other Hui merchants, but brought his two sons and nephews. The Shanxi merchants and Jiangyou merchants breathed a sigh of relief, while the Hui merchants hurriedly went to visit.

Mr. Cheng naturally refused all Hui merchants, but he did not agree with their complaints, suggestions, or reminders. He looked unfathomable. He had been operating the salt industry in Yangzhou for many years. He had a high prestige and powerful means. When he showed off his calm expression, he naturally made a big profit with him last year and came early today and was very happy until Wang Daomin arrived with seven or eight people.

The seven or eight new people were strangers, but when Wang Daomin revealed their true identities as if he was careless, it immediately caused an uproar. It turned out that these were all salt merchants in Huaibei.

It is necessary to know that the two Huaihe salts are carried out in Huainan and the four Huaibei. The so-called orders are the calculation units for the official inspection every year when the official checks the salt. The so-called orders refer to the salt merchants who must transport them to Huai'an and Yangzhou after buying salt in the corresponding salt field. First, they will list the order in the inspection department, and then send them to the salt inspector to the approval of the total number. Before the final check, these salts must be placed in a fixed stack. Therefore, the salt merchants in Huaibei and Huainan are generally bounded by the north and south. The well water does not violate the river water, but this time several Huaibei salt merchants actually came to Huainan. If there is no intention, who dares to believe it.

Wang Daomin was so energetic that he said without hesitation: "Huaibei and Huainan have always been in charge of their own affairs, but since they are both a salt inspector, they have strong strength. Today, everyone is discussing plans at the Xin'an Guild Hall. These people came from Huaian, which is a good opportunity for everyone to eliminate the barriers. I think everyone knows that since Hengzhou in Huguang, Yongzhou changed to Haibei Salt, Ganzhou in Jiangxi, Nan'an, and Ji'an changed to Guangdong Salt, the share of Huaiyan, which we are proud of has been eroded and occupied in various places. At this time, it is better to go to the outside world than to fight in the internal struggle."

"It sounds better than singing." Cheng Naixuan, who happened to follow his father out of the resting room, looked very angry. Seeing that Mr. Cheng was silent, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Dad, this guy is not enough to attract Shanxi merchants and Jiangyou merchants. He has attracted those salt merchants in Huai'an. Why don't you expose his face?"

Mr. Cheng glanced at his only son and saw that Cheng Naixuan stopped talking. He said lightly: "The salt merchants in Huai'an are just like those of Yangzhou, and they are also Shanxi merchants, Jiangyou and our Xin'an are in harmony. Even if the Shanxi merchants and Jiangyou merchants who jumped out of Wang Daomin's instigation were unhappy, they did not plan to fight with me by relying on these Huaibei salt merchants to charge forward and fight with me. You should learn from Fulin. He did something very big and did not speak out, but also found out a very important news."

Seeing Wang Fulin standing on the right side of Mr. Cheng, he was smiling and blinking at himself, Cheng Naixuan couldn't help but feel hatred. This guy only said to his father, but he was so secretive about him. Not only that, his father also helped Wang Fulin get in with the identity of a child of the Cheng family. He was as gentle as the spring breeze, but he was very picky about his son.

God is really unfair. When the old-fashioned guy who looked like a wood became so thief

Wang Daomin took advantage of the killer move that he had just taken out today and attracted many attentions. Therefore, even though he had long discovered that Mr. Cheng appeared with two nephews, he deliberately regarded it as if he had not seen it. Until the person was almost in front of him, he just seemed to have just discovered it and went forward with a smile.

"Brother Cheng, don't mind I'll bring a few uninvited guests to the event today. If it can make Huaibei and Huainan merge into one, it will be a good talk."

Mr. Cheng saw the noise around him stopped for a moment. Whether it was the Shanxi merchants, Jiangyou merchants, or most of the Hui merchants on his side, everyone was waiting for their answers. He said slowly: "Oranges grow in the south of Huai, and oranges grow in the north of Huai, and citrus grow in the north of Huai, and I think we are merchants, but this simplest truth should still be understood."

Most salt merchants in the past are paying attention to the education of their children. Because they are not from Yangzhou, only a few people can get their children to send their children to Yangzhou imperial examinations. Most of them have to send their parents back to their hometowns to take the exam. Therefore, the salt merchant team itself is a group with a high level of education. Therefore, almost no one can understand the profound meaning of these two sentences quoted by Mr. Cheng. Now, Wang Daomin, who wanted to use this to make a move, suddenly looked dark.

"You must know that Lianghuai Salt Industry is divided into Huainan and Huainan. This is not decided by the various merchants. But by the court, Brother Wang led everyone from Huainan here. He also said that he wanted to connect Lianghuai Salt Industry into one piece. Unknown Salt Inspection Censor nodded. If there was no connection in private, it would be harmful to the salt industry. I am afraid that everyone present will not be able to afford to be guilty of this kind of hat. What do you think?"

Mr. Cheng only said a few words and tried to eliminate and beat him. The Huaibei salt merchants whom Wang Daomin had high hopes were immediately assigned to everyone's opposition. For a moment, the atmosphere in the field immediately showed a strange stalemate. Several Huaibei salt merchants knew something was wrong and were about to try to break the deadlock, but Wang Daomin suddenly asked: "Brother Cheng thinks that my kindness is not good today, but I brought the wrong person, which is so domineering. Although we have children and nephews, no one brought it, you brought two children and nephews of the Cheng family. Could this be the privilege of salt priests?"

Although he was sensible and mean, Wang Fulin stood beside Mr. Cheng and found that the man didn't even blink his eyelids, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Of course, he could understand Mr. Cheng's calmness at this moment. If he couldn't win other questions, he just grabbed this little braid and chased him hard. Wang Daomin's number of sections was too low. No wonder the Wang family of Songmingshan has been declining in recent years in Lianghuai Salt Industry.

Wang Fulin was determined to fight back, but now he is Mr. Cheng's escort, so he doesn't need to show his combat power, nor can he be alarmed. Therefore, he is like the younger generations who are usually behind elders, looking at his nose and looking at his heart, looking at his honest young man. And his expression fell into Cheng Naixuan's eyes, and Master Cheng was so despised.

That is, these guys who don’t know people will be fooled, otherwise if Wang Fulin has full firepower, his father will not have to.

However, Mr. Cheng's response was not as sharp as before. Instead, he smiled and said, "Although today is a major discussion, no one said that he could only come alone, and no one could accompany him. If Brother Wang is dissatisfied, he can send someone back to bring your son. Everyone has the heart to love his son, and no one will have any objections."

After these words, there was no such thing as the sacrificial spirit of the salt priest, which was like a father who loved his son. For a moment, a kind laugh suddenly came from all around him. Although Wang Daomin was so angry that he knew that if he really took the eldest son and second son of his family according to Mr. Cheng's words, he would definitely be fooled. He was holding his breath and could only glance at Mr. Cheng coldly, snorted and entered the venue with the seven or eight Huaibei salt merchants he brought.

Although the people were brought in, all the other merchants present knew it at this moment. Not to mention anything else, with Mr. Cheng's words just now, at least these seven or eight Huaibei merchants would never play any role.

For a moment, those who entered the venue were left to talk to Mr. Cheng. When it was finally time for Si and all the people who received the invitation came, Mr. Cheng instructed to close the gate of the Xin'an Guild Hall to prevent uninvited guests from coming to disrupt the situation. When he followed Mr. Cheng to the conference hall that could accommodate 100 people, Cheng Naixuan couldn't help but ask: "Dad, this Xin'an Guild Hall is so vulgar. I heard that the rooms inside were even more luxuriously furnished and expensive. I even lived in the Salt Censor. This consultation was also decided here. Could it be that the owner and Wang Daomin and others had collusions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Naixuan saw Wang Fulin looking at him sideways. And what Wang Fulin said next made him almost unable to stare out his eyes.

"This Xin'an Guild Hall is your father's house. Several other salt merchants who have been with him have paid and worked hard to ask someone to arrange the purchase. In the final analysis, your father accounts for 60% of the shares."

"I don't know, how did you know?" Cheng Naixuan was so depressed that he was extremely depressed. Is this my father's son or I am my father's son?

"When I came to Yangzhou, Mr. Lu of Xinchang once mentioned this place specifically and asked me if I wanted to move in. Why didn't I ask if I didn't ask about it like Chengfu in Yangzhou. This place is also an industry that others regard as a price to pay for your father. If you think it's vulgar, just spend money to modify it yourself."

Seeing that Cheng Naixuan was speechless by Wang Fulin again, Master Cheng couldn't help but smile and then said, "Fulin, act in the situation later. In order to avoid Wang Daomin's early detection, I will call you Shuangmu like Naixuan. I think your reputation is not small among Hui merchants, no one will know this nickname."

Wang Fulin nodded immediately: "Okay, I will listen to Uncle Cheng. I wish us a victory this time."

"Then sing a big show."

Cheng Naixuan was even more depressed. What did they do? When he followed in with a confused look on his face, he saw Wang Fulin smiling and said to himself: "Today your father is the protagonist, we are just helping to set up the stage to perform. If you want to be the protagonist, you should be a supporting role first, work hard, boy."
