Jia Min's Counterattack

After Lin Ruhai arranged Jia Lian's affairs, he hurried back to Yangzhou. After the new year, he would start to be busy again. Now that Lin Ruhai had a new plan, he had to complete it step by step according to the plan.

After discussing with Lin Ruhai, Jia Min decided to quietly sell off the dowry and properties under his name, exchange them for gold and silver, and ask Lin Lang to help Jia Min buy some land or mines in Luzon or Malay.Although it is not easy to do these things without the eyes of everyone, Jia Min has already made up his mind and sold his property to Dong Fang bit by bit.

Dong Fang's business is getting bigger and bigger now. After he bought the largest salt farm in Fang's family last year, he also bought a salt well in Shudi.This salt well produces more salt than the salt field bought from the Fang family. Now Dong Fang has gained a firm foothold among the salt merchants, and he has the intention of competing with the Fang family and the Liu family.

However, this is also the result of Lin Ruhai's backing, otherwise Dong Fang, a businessman without any foundation, would not be able to compare with those senior big salt merchants.It's just that outsiders only know that there is a strong backer behind Dong Fang, but they still can't know the origin of this backer.Even the Liu family, who was also on Lin Ruhai's side, didn't know where this Dong Fang came from.

With Dong Fang and Liu's two major salt merchants contributing their efforts, Lin Ruhai quickly took full control of the entire salt administration. Even if the Fang family came out to disrupt the situation from time to time, it would not be able to change the overall situation.In addition, the Fang family colluded with Zhen Yingjia last year and participated in the assassination of Lin Ruhai. Although Lin Ruhai had no evidence on the surface, he couldn't do anything to them, but he did make people do a lot of small tricks in private. It's not that big.The most serious one was when Lin Ruhai asked people to take advantage of the once-in-a-hundred-year snowstorm to destroy the two saltworks of Fang's family.Afterwards, the Fang family also suspected that someone had tampered with it, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find any clues, and finally they had to admit that they were unlucky.

However, the two salt farms of Fang’s family suffered from “natural disasters” after they reported their expected salt production in the coming year. Once the two salt farms were destroyed, it would take some time to rebuild them, which would definitely affect their salt production this year. up.The Fang family will face a huge punishment if they fail to hand over so much salt at that time, and it is very likely that the Fang family will never recover from a setback!

Mrs. Fang fell ill because of the two saltworks incidents, and the family affairs were all handed over to Mrs. Fang.Mr. Fang found several salt merchants, and wanted them to help tide over this difficulty, but he never expected that those small salt merchants who used to bow down to their Fang family were all arrogant now. Speaking ambiguous words really made Mr. Fang experience the coldness of the world.Master Fang didn't want to see the ugly faces of those people, so he tried to seek help from the Liu family and Dong Fang. He felt that it was nothing more than paying a little more.

The Liu family simply rejected the Fang family. The reason is that the Liu family's current salt farm has been gradually sold off. They want to change their family. They always wear the hat of a salt merchant, which will affect Liu Guanjie's official reputation in the future. .Now that people intend to gradually withdraw from the ranks of salt merchants, the salt output from their own salt farms will not be too much more than the reported amount, and it would be good to be able to keep the same.

The Liu family couldn't get through here, so the Fang family went to find Dong Fang. Dong Fang was very generous, saying that he would look at it at the end of the year. If he had enough extra salt in his hands, he would definitely distribute it to the Fang family. .When Master Fang heard this, he was very grateful to Dong Fang, but he didn't know that Dong Fang dug a big hole for him, and at the end of the year, the Fang family jumped into this big hole and couldn't get out again!

Dong Fang is a very shrewd businessman, knowing that the Lin family is his only reliance, not to mention that Lin Ruhai is also his savior, he is willing to do things for Lin Ruhai.Of course, the Lin family won't let him suffer. The cotton and salt field business in the northwest can only be done by Jia Min and Lin Ruhai.Although without these benefits, Dong Fang would still work for Lin Ruhai, but he is a businessman after all, and a businessman values ​​profits. Without those benefits, Dong Fang would not be so dedicated!

Lin Ruhai used Dong Fang because of his shrewdness and transparency. As long as such a person does not let him suffer, he will not betray you. From the current point of view, Dong Fang is a more useful person than the Liu family. chess pieces.Although the Liu family has also helped Lin Ruhai a lot, Lin Ruhai still dare not let them know about some things, because the Liu family has been a salt merchant for several generations, and has been able to secure the position of several major salt merchants in Yangzhou. Without a backing, Lin Ruhai would never believe it!Lin Ruhai even suspected that the people behind the Liu family were from the royal family.

Days passed by in a flash, and on February [-]th, Jia Min had just returned from offering incense at Daming Temple when he received a letter from the capital.

"Ms. Wang gave birth to a son two days ago, on the day of the Huachao Festival! The letter also said that the little son had a piece of jade in his mouth when he was born, but it killed him!" Qi Lan Said while eating the pastry.

After reading the contents of the letter, Jia Min said with a smile: "The Wang family is in a good position now, did some people say that the son she gave birth to is a fairy?"

Jia Min has been busy dealing with the Lin family's property and her own dowry these days, leaving the matter of Jia Baoyu's birth out of the blue. Counting the days, wasn't Jia Baoyu born on the Huachao Festival in the last life?But this "fairy boy" who is expected by everyone is actually just an idiot who only likes to hang out with women!

Qi Lan heard the sarcasm in Jia Min's tone, and looked at her with some puzzlement. Although Mrs. Wang is not a good person, Mrs. Wang's son is also Jia Min's nephew. According to Jia Min's past temperament, he is Don't bring hatred to innocent children.

How could Qi Lan know that this son of Wang's had failed Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's only daughter in the previous life, causing her to die tragically in the blooming season.If it weren't for this, Jia Min wouldn't have held grudges against Jia Baoyu, so much so that he brought out all the emotions from his previous life.

Seeing the puzzlement and inquiry in Qi Lan's eyes, Jia Min lowered her eyes and said with a slight smile, "Ms. Wang will definitely use her son to return to Rongguo Mansion. You should send someone to keep an eye on her. Don't let her do it." Do something that hurts the Rongguo Mansion."

With a flash in Qi Lan's eyes, he understood that Jia Min was instinctively disliked because of Wang's calculations, so he stopped looking into it and saluted respectfully: "Yes! The subordinates will arrange good people!"
