Late autumn of the 92nd year of the Republic.

Even when standing on a hostile standpoint, Ms. Chen had to be moved by this situation.

Compared with previous years, the door seemed very deserted, and the men and women entering and leaving the courtyard were still gorgeous in their clothes, but the clothes were not glamorous, and the servants' clothes were even patched.

The original Anhui merchant was not like this. The silver was scattered like sea water, and today even the servants' wages were owed.

In the old days, the swallows in front of the Wang Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people. Although the decline of Huizhou merchants has not reached this point, it is probably not far away.

However, for Miss Chen, this is also a relief.

The maritime merchants always felt that they were superior and had a smaller temperament. Although the Huizhou merchants controlled the salt affairs of Lianghuai from the Qianjin period, it has been more than a hundred years since then, and the rise of the Shen family was a matter after the Republic, the maritime merchants only had one view of them: nouveau riche!

Just looking at these dozens of luxury mansions and courtyards, I don’t know how much money I threw in them. I just found a piece of wood and brick, which is probably enough for ordinary people to spend half a month.

Miss Chen also came to Haizhou once a few years ago, but these businessmen had no special skills except being addicted to sensuality, or they simply took a lot of money and didn't know how to spend it.

Miss Shen could only sigh afterwards: "Haizhou will not produce talents!" From then on, these salt merchants were added to the list, only seeking profits but not making reputations.

However, in this situation today, Ms. Chen felt that Liu Jingxiao was terrifying for the first time. Huizhou merchants were involved in salt affairs. The earliest ones were from the Ming Dynasty. After the Qian Jin entered the Central Plains, Lianghuai Salt Affairs changed to the shore-guided method, which completely fell into their control.

The shore system is that after the Anhui merchants purchase and induce the salt from the government, they can be transported to designated areas by leaching salt and sold in the area exclusively. The salt sales area is divided into fixed areas called leaching salt, and only certain specialists are allowed to transport salt. The salt sold in their leaching is designated to be supplied by a certain salt field, and no competition is allowed in other fields. There is a restriction on selling salt, and each stove owner in a certain leaping area can only sell salt to leaping merchants. There is no way out. The specialized merchants then arrest the stove owners for selling at the lowest price and buy it on a large scale, which makes countless poor stove owners exploited them. Because they occupy the market and no one competes with them, they can raise prices and sell them. There is a shortage of pounds and mix mud and sand, so that the people in the sales area can only eat high-quality and inferior salt.

The quotation has been passed down from generation to generation, and Anhui merchants have made great profits, but they can only indulge in pleasure. They have no other strengths in the construction of their hometown except for building a large-scale construction of the palace. In the end, the Yellow River and the Lianghuai Salt Affairs can be said to be the two largest bottomless pits.

After the Republic, both Lin Ziyin and Mu Tiehan thought that the shore-guiding method was inappropriate and there were many reforms. However, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have always been independent of the central government. Haizhou merchants spent a lot of money to go to Beijing to lobby, but in the end they were left alone.

However, after Liu Jingxiao pacified the two Huaihe Rivers, Liu Jingxiao asked the Haizhou salt merchants for a loan of 3 million yuan for military expenses, which was a prescribed rule since the previous money. They received the money smoothly every time. Then Shangguan agreed to add pounds and attract more resources to the salt merchants, and both sides benefited.

However, the Anhui businessmen's eyes were too short. Li Dingyuan issued a statement in Nanjing, and they actually took it as a helper and publicly resisted and refused to hand over.

Li Dingyuan was stationed in Haizhou for several years, and everyone ate, drank and slept with women. That was a friendship that was made by prostitution, so Li Dingyuan was very influential among salt merchants. Now Li Dingyuan was promoted to the governor of Jiangsu and was in charge of a province. If you want military pay, please agree.

Liu Jingxiao suddenly softened and personally brought his wife to Haizhou to raise funds. However, the man did not look good and was turned away. What made Liu Jingxiao even more depressed was that when he went out, he encountered a big-bellied salt merchant blinded his eyes, and took Liu Jingxiao's hand and said to him and Shen Xianqiao: "Where did the girl come from? She looks pretty handsome..."

The couple can make such jokes, but Liu Jingxiao's heartbeats are crazy. The following sentence makes his face turn cold: "How much does it cost for you two in a night?"

Liu Jingxiao was originally scheduled to return to Jinan immediately, but he stayed in Haizhou for half a month. At the same time, he transferred two infantry regiments from Shandong, and then did something that neither Lin Ziyin nor Mu Tiehan could do, and changed Lianghuai Salt Affairs to a place-to-site sales method.

Citations are no longer passed down from generation to generation. Only with money can you get the Citations and sell them to various places. Liu Jingxiao joined forces with the governors of several provinces in Jiangnan to collect the salt tax to each province. Liu Jingxiao collected and transferred the salt tax to each province on behalf of the salt farm. Moreover, Liu Jingxiao returned several of the salt injected salt for each sale. The provinces are suffering from the flood of private salt, so they are naturally willing to make money. For a time, both sides will gain great profits.

It’s a pity that the Haizhou salt merchants are no longer in glory. Miss Shen heard that they played cards with two more cards, one for Liu Jingxiao and the other for Liu Jingxiao’s wife. When you catch Liu Jingxiao, you will lose even if you have a good card. If you catch Liu Jingxiao’s wife, you can turn defeat into victory with a bad deck. It is conceivable that he hates Liu Jingxiao to the core.

Looking at this declining scene, at that moment, Miss Shen turned countless thoughts in her mind, and finally sighed: "This business is not easy to do..."

Shandong Jinan.

Xu Qiaozhi still frowned, but this could not relieve her beauty. The endless sorrow was really pity for me.

Her mind was still on the man named Lin Yihang, but her identity was Liu Jingxiao's little wife. How could such a fate be arranged not to make her frown?

Someone next to her comforted her and said, "Qiaozhi, go out and relax..."

Looking at the sisters of the same fate, Xu Qiaozhi wanted to smile, but she couldn't laugh. Now she was really confused. After hearing Wanyan Yuzhuo said that the owner of this house was about to come back.

Liu Jingxiao... When she thought of this name, her heart became even more confused. First, there was hatred, then sorrow, and finally there was endless pain and helplessness. She couldn't even sigh for a long sigh.

This man who had never met before destroyed everything beautifully and even snatched himself into this small yard. If it weren't for his younger brother, she might not be able to hold on.

The woman opposite took her hand and said, "Let's go... If you do this, Yichen will be very sad..."

Xu Qiaozhi lowered her head and asked to herself, "Yichen... Sister, do you really want to know if he is okay?"

The woman opposite also replied in the same tone: "It should be fine..."

Xu Qiaozhi secretly strengthened her belief in her heart: "Yichen... Don't worry... I'm always just your wife..."

After entering this yard, the initial bunch of beautiful figures fully demonstrated how lustful the owner was. After a long contact, she and her sisters finally felt a little relieved. At least this Liu Jingxiao had a little conscience and was not completely violent in pursuit of girls. It is said that Dr. Chen and Mu Qiongyin and Liu Jingxiao have been chasing each other for three years, and they have not yet confirmed their relationship.

But whether such good luck will fall on her... She doesn't know...
