"Haha, someone's plan has failed, no one has dumped it at all. Do you know how annoying someone's face is?"

In the flower hall, Xu Changqing was drinking tea, paying attention to the front living room through the gaps in the curtains, but Zheng Chagu was proudly flirting with her.

I don’t know if it was to deliberately seduce Xu Changqing or why, today’s Zheng Chagu is extremely bright and charming as beautiful as a flower.

She wore a delicate green silk skirt inside, and a snow-white fox fur vest on the upper body without a trace of miscellaneous hair. Her hairstyle was more Western-style, slightly out of place, but it complemented each other very well. It seemed like the characters in the comics, which was really eye-catching.

Especially against the warm sunshine at noon, the attractive legs that were intentionally or unintentionally revealed in her silk skirt seemed to be wearing nothing else inside. Even Xu Changqing's eyes were attracted to her, wanting to see if she was wearing it or not...

"Oh."

Seeing Xu Changqing successfully attracted her, she couldn't help but feel even more proud, "Someone knows how good my aunt is now? Even if you are so annoying, come here to accompany you."

As she said that, she opened a delicate food box showing off, which contained several side dishes that looked pretty good but couldn't stand it.

Seeing Xu Changqing frowned slightly, Zheng Chagu was immediately dissatisfied, "Why, are you not satisfied?"

"satisfy."

"Of course I'm satisfied. Miss Zheng cooked in person today. If I don't finish it, wouldn't it be a waste of resources and would die young?"

Xu Changqing smiled and held her in her arms, touched her casually. Sure enough, just as she thought, this girl was not wearing anything...

He hurriedly said, "Girl, I have no other intentions. It's so cold this day. I'm really afraid that you will be frozen."

Zheng Chagu was trembling by Xu Changqing's casual touch. At this time, he finally came to his senses and couldn't help pinching Xu Changqing hard: "My surname is Xu, what do you mean? Isn't it good-looking for aunt?"

"It looks good, it will look better if you don't wear anything."

"Xu Changqing, I'm going to fight with you!"

...

As usual, the two of them laughed and played for a while, and began to taste the side dishes that Zheng Chagu cooked in person.

Not to mention, I have been taught by famous teachers, even though Zheng Chagu's cooking skills are not as good as professional chefs, it is really not difficult to eat. She is definitely a master at home-cooked dishes.

Especially Xu Changqing praised a small pickle with a unique flavor made of radish, celery, pepper, etc.

While eating, Zheng Chagu's pretty face became solemn and said worriedly: "Brother Xu, you, if you do this, will something happen to those people? Many times my father dare not mess with these salt merchants..."

Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "It's okay. The mountain man has his own tricks."

Zheng Chagu immediately threw it to Xu Changqing, but put a lot of mutton into Xu Changqing's bowl.

Looking at Zheng Chagu's beautiful face, Xu Changqing became more and more excited.

Zheng Chagu said this is correct.

If it weren't for the Qing army's robbery, even her father Zheng Yiguan would not dare to fight against these salt merchants.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there were two pools of water that were the most unpredictable.

One is the Southeast Maritime Businessman, and the other is the salt merchant!

The Southeast Sea Merchants were hit by the court several times and gradually weakened. Zheng Zhilong had the opportunity to grow bigger and become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.

But it is precisely because of this reason, coupled with the turbulent situation, the relationship between Southeast China's maritime businessmen in the North Korea has withered a little.

The salt merchant was not hurt!

Even though the two Huaihe River were robbed and suffered heavy losses at this time, only some of their skins were injured, and they were far from hurting the core.

This is Xu Changqing's only attack on the salt industry, and has not yet touched the more terrifying land. It can be imagined that once a more core land is used to explain, what level of resistance will be!...

After lunch with Zheng Chagu, Xu Changqing was about to continue having fun with her for a while, outside, a personal soldier suddenly came to report that Kong Yinzhi had come.

Zheng Chagu was a little unhappy, so he pinched Xu Changqing and reluctantly went to the small room next door of the "Golden House Hidden Girl".

"Mr. Marquis, things seem to be wrong. There has been a wind in Yangzhou City. We want to kill all our Lunan Chamber of Commerce..."

Kong Yinzhi was a little panicked and didn't have time to argue with Xu Changqing, so he told him something directly.

Many people in the Shandong South Chamber of Commerce have many relatives and friends in Yangzhou. After coming here, they have been asking for information in a lively manner and trying to gain more initiative. However, the news at this time is obviously not good news.

"Haha, Master, don't be impatient. I wonder what details did Master get?"

Xu Changqing smiled and handed Kong Yinzhi a cigar. He lit one slowly and leaned against the soft couch.

"this……"

Kong Yinzhi was a little embarrassed.

He really can't tell Xu Changqing about this news. First of all, let's not talk about it. There are many things that attack Xu Changqing and vilify Xu Changqing. How can he say it?

He had to say: "Mr. Marquis, Lianghuai salt merchants are still very strong. You must not take it lightly. Those people, if they are forced to do anything, they can do anything..."

"oh?"

Xu Changqing picked his eyelids, but he quickly recovered as before and said with a smile: "Master, please feel at ease. Since I, Xu Changqing, have already agreed, I will definitely do my best! If I don't do the things well and do them steadily, I will not leave Yangzhou!"

...

After receiving Xu Changqing's guarantee, Kong Yinzhi left, but he was still worried and didn't know what he was thinking about.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Changqing shook his head slightly.

He was given the opportunity, but he was useless. Instead, he believed the rumors that were most likely to be deliberately made known to the salt merchants...

This made Xu Changqing wonder whether it was wrong to choose the people from Lu Nan.

However, from this we can also see how huge the influence of the salt merchant is, even Yan Sheng Gong is weak.

To a certain extent, it is somewhat similar to the real estate giants in later generations. Without a few or three, you don’t even have the capital to get started. The complexity is so, how can ordinary people imagine?

Xu Changqing was not in a hurry.

This is like picking meat. If you pick other people’s meat, can you avoid resisting?

Although there are still several Nanjing masters who have not been open to the cabinet, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, and Qian Qianyi have all done it, and the climate has stabilized.

Even if these salt merchants make trouble, the cabinet will no longer be in chaos.

In fact, this is also Xu Changqing complicating the matter.

If you are really in a hurry to lack money, just use all the salt fields in Lianghuai for military purposes. Whoever doesn’t accept it will suppress it!

But this falls into a lower level and will greatly harm the economy at this time.

Now there is no threat of military disasters, so Xu Changqing can save some of it and some of it.

"I hate it so much. Brother Xu, why not, let's go hunting and play again? I heard that there are many fun places near Yangzhou."

At this time, Zheng Chagu walked out and sat next to Xu Changqing, looking bored and hopeless.

Xu Changqing smiled: "Where is the time to hunt now? Let's wait until you finish your work. Cha Gu, if you are so bored, I have a good idea."

"What's the solution?"

Zheng Chagu's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Xu Changqing expectantly. She had already admired Xu Changqing's methods at this time.

"Hehe. Simple, you~~, please give me a few more babies. Just watch the baby take care of the baby if you have nothing to do, and you will guarantee that you will not be bored anymore. The baby is fun."

“…”

"My surname is Xu, I'm going to fight you!"

The two were about to play again, but at this time, there were unpleasant voices from the personal soldiers coming from outside, and Fan Yongdou actually came over.

Zheng Chagu was so angry that he took a bite on Xu Changqing's wrist, and this was the only way to run away.

When Xu Changqing heard Fan Yongdou come, he frowned immediately, but then he relaxed, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is the attitude that businessmen should have!

If they followed the way those of the Lunan Chamber of Commerce did, without Xu Changqing's support, they would never have encountered a hair from Lianghuai Salt Industry in their entire lives!

"Mr. Marquis, congratulations. In the Battle of Jiuxian Mountain, I was so excited that I didn't sleep well for more than ten days."

Fan Yongdou and Xu Changqing were not separated, and as soon as they came in, they chuckled and bowed.

Xu Changqing didn't politely with this old guy and joked: "Old Fan, your nose is a dog, it's too long."

"Hehe, Marquis, it's all because I can't get rid of some things in the north, otherwise I'd be here a few days ago."

Looking at the pleasing look on Fan Yongdou's old face, Xu Changqing couldn't help but sigh while smiling.

Successful people must have something to offer.

Fan Yongdou, regardless of ability or courage, is far beyond comparison.

Even some so-called elites are far from his opponents.

However, what Xu Changqing wants is this effect. If the dog is not fierce, how can he bite people?

After a while of greeting, Xu Changqing looked at Fan Yongdou and raised the main topic: "Old Fan, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Fan Yongdou had been preparing for a long time and said respectfully: "Mr. Marquis, I know you are busy, so I won't flatter you anymore, hehe. But I still have to say, Marquis, your plan is extremely exquisite! But I must remind you that those people from the Shandong Chamber of Commerce may not be able to fulfill your instructions and expectations!"

"oh?"

"How can I see it?"

Xu Changqing remained silent.
