Jia Min's Counterattack

Liu Jinbao looked at the stupidity of his grandson, pointed his forehead with his fingers and said, "Don't be stupid! Before the conclusion of this matter, you must not make it public! Even the people in the family, don't tell them yet. !"

"Hehe! Grandson knows, so don't worry about grandpa! When you leave the door of grandfather's study, grandson will just pretend that you don't understand anything!" Liu Guanjie looked at Liu Jinbao with a smirk and said.

"Hmm! Even if you're scheming!" Liu Jinbao stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

After the promulgation of the new policy, Lin Ruhai asked people to distribute salt according to [-]% of the amount reported at the end of last year. Although it was different from what the salt merchants expected, but fortunately this was only for three months, and the next salt Salt will be distributed reasonably according to the amount of salt produced in the first three months.So the salt merchants didn't have any objections, and happily left the salt government office with the salt they got.

The amount of salt that Fang's family got was nearly half less than the amount of salt they produced, which was the least among all salt merchants, because the extra salt was smuggled through salt channels.Now that Lin Ruhai is a salt transport envoy, Zhen Yingjia doesn't care about them anymore, so much extra salt really caused the Fang family father and son a headache.

"Father! So much salt is stored in the warehouse, and the daily loss alone is quite a lot! What's more, there will be a large amount of newly produced salt in three months. If the salt is distributed like this, I'm afraid Every month, half of our salt needs to be piled up in the warehouse! After a year, the warehouse may not be able to hold it!"

"I don't know! It's just because I didn't think carefully when I reported the quantity, and I only thought it was Zhen Yingjia who was in charge of the salt administration. Now it's making us miserable! How about the other companies?"

"Their numbers in previous years were not very large, and the combined amount of several companies is not as large as ours, so the impact on them is not great. It is estimated that after the distribution of Yanyin next time, the number of Yanyin will be comparable to that of salt producers. The number is almost the same!"

"So, we are the only ones who have encountered such a problem?" Mrs. Fang looked at Mrs. Fang and asked.

Grandpa Fang nodded, lowered his head and remained silent.

Old Master Fang sighed and said, "I didn't want to do this, but now it seems that I have to..."

"Did father have any good plans?"

"A good strategy! It's not a good strategy, it's a last resort! Now we are forced by Mr. Lin to sell one of our salt farms!"

Master Fang looked at his father in shock and said, "Here! Father, how did you get to this situation? We can go and ask Mr. Lin!"

Mrs. Fang shook his head feebly and said, "You haven't understood yet! Mr. Lin's move is to break our dominance among the salt merchants. If not, I'm going to go to jail with my old bones." You lied about the amount of salt produced, but you will spend ten years in prison, I’m afraid you’re going to die in prison!”

"This...is there no other way?" Mr. Fang also knew the pros and cons, but he was unwilling to share his big pie with others.

"Master Lin's steps are all scheming, and people can't make mistakes at all! We have to eat this dumb thing, and we have to eat it if we don't eat it!"

The father and son of the Fang family sat opposite each other. After a long silence, Elder Fang asked, "Then which salt farm do father think we are going to sell?"

Old Mr. Fang closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "We have three saltworks in total, let's sell the biggest one!"

"Father, think twice! That saltworks is our most profitable saltworks!" Master Fang whispered.

Old Master Fang opened his eyes to look at his eldest son and said, "That's why we sell him! It's because it's the biggest and most valuable, and the asking price must not be low. Just imagine who else is there besides the Liu family in Yangzhou today? Can you eat it?"

"Is father trying to push the Liu family up?"

"I'm afraid they won't accept the offer! That's fine, let the salt field be left there, and maybe we can force Mr. Lin to make an exception and give us more salt!"

"Father's scheming is not inferior to Master Lin's! This will not only offend him on the surface, but also take the opportunity to take him into the army! Good strategy!"

"He used Yang Mou to plot against me, so I will use Yang Mou to pay him back! But it just seems that we are a bit petty!" Old Master Fang said proudly.

"He's Tanhualang, Marquis Wenyuan, and the imperial historian of Lantai Temple. We're nothing but marketers, so it's hard to not fall behind!" Elder Fang laughed.

The Fang family's father seemed to have seen their victory, and he smiled and raised his tea bowl to celebrate in advance with tea instead of wine.

Within two days, news spread that the Fang family was going to sell the largest salt farm, which attracted many salt merchants to the Fang family to inquire, but none of them were willing to buy it.

Liu Jinbao also got the news that Fang's family was going to sell the salt farm. He rolled his eyes and sneered and said, "This old fox Fang really overestimates his capabilities!"

Liu Jinbao's eldest son, Mr. Liu, asked his father, "Father thinks there is something tricky about it?"

"I'm not a roundworm in Fang's old fox's stomach. How do I know what he thinks! Anyway, our Liu family will not touch their Fang's things!"

"Actually, we can take this opportunity to take over the biggest saltworks for ourselves! Why isn't father tempted?"

"I've told you a long time ago that we don't agree with each other when we disagree! We are not from the same way as the Fang family, so it's better to have less involvement with them! He probably wants to fight against Mr. Lin, just wait and see , there are times when he feels uncomfortable!"

"If it is true what father said, then we must not act at this time, so as not to ruin Master Lin's good deeds!" Master Liu Er said.

"Second brother is right! The most important thing our family lacks now is money. If Guanjie can succeed, who cares about it!" Master Liu San said with a smile.

Liu Jinbao glared at Master Liu San, who shrank and lowered his head!

"Father! Although the third brother's words are not pleasant, they are also true. Our family's goal is to get rid of this business status. If Guanjie can win Master Lin's favor, he will be honored to be under Master Lin's family. The family honors the ancestors, isn't that little money nothing?" said Elder Liu.

Liu Jinbao looked at the three sons of his own family, not to mention how promising they are, but the three brothers live in harmony and respect, and have never blushed for so many years. of! "
