Western merchants have been developing in Yangzhou for more than a hundred years, and Hui merchants have also been emerging for decades. Each of them must be represented.

Lin, a migrant who has only been involved in the salt industry for a few years, has been able to gain widespread support for his compliance with laws and honest management, and has been listed as one of the three major merchants. This is an incredible achievement.

But when he heard this, Lin Tailai had some doubts. Since the establishment of the guild went smoothly, why did Cui Xunyan need to come over and repeat it?

"Does Cui Shiyu have anything else to say?" Lin Tailai couldn't help but ask.

Cui Xunyan sighed deeply and spoke again: "One hundred and fifty merchants have joined the association, and the three general merchants are in charge. This model is already very good.

But now there is indeed a difficult thing to deal with. Wang Qing, a big salt merchant, has been clamoring to join the general merchants, so that the three big ones will become the four big ones.

But the Huizhou merchants are already represented by the more authoritative Zheng family, and there is no need to add another Wang family. How can this be a good thing?"

Originally, in the eyes of the Salt Patrol Censor, Wang Qing's behavior was no different from being unreasonable, and he could be taught how to behave with just one slap.

However, there may be a twist in the matter. Wang Qing's only daughter married Lin Tailai, known as the "equal wife".

Although there are rumors that it was Lin Daguan who plotted against Wang's salt industry and used various means to force Wang Qing to marry his daughter.

But in the eyes of a bureaucrat like Cui Yushi, whether Wang Qing was forced or not, the consequences actually made no difference.

Whether Wang Qing likes it or not, he is now Lin Tailai's father-in-law.

When people of this status make trouble, it's not called unreasonable trouble, it's called legitimate demands.

Beating a dog also depends on the owner. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Cui Yushi didn't know how to deal with it, so he came over and asked Lin Tailai directly.

"This is nonsense! Just refute it!" Lin Tailai said unceremoniously.

At this time, Wang Qing and Wang Wai also appeared in the Lin Mansion, and Cui Yushi said: "Please ask Bachelor Jiuyuan to tell him in person!"

Lin Tailai sighed and said to Wang Yuanwai: "Old man Wang! Can't you live in peace?

When I go to Yangzhou this time, I always hear a lot of messy news about you. Last time it was about your adopted son, and this time you are about to become the general manager."

Wang Yuanwai's emotions suddenly broke out, "Do I not want to live in peace? Since you arrived in Yangzhou, can I still live in peace?"

The old family members came over and advised me to adopt a son from the same clan; all the fellow Huizhou villagers were worried that the Wang family would be annexed by the Lin family, and while laughing at me, they all advised me to adopt a son!

Have you ever thought about sharing these huge pressures with me? But you just want to take advantage of the situation and deliberately use pressure from all sides to force me to rent all the salt to you, the Lin family!

You are a high-ranking big shot, everything in the world is just a chess game in your eyes, and ordinary people are just pawns in your eyes!

It’s understandable that you want to annex my family business! But can you consider my feelings for a moment, I’m a human being too!”

Faced with the violent outburst of emotions, Lin Tailai felt somewhat guilty and could only quibble first:

"You can't blame me for your situation. It's because you didn't give birth to a son and you have such a big family fortune, so you are causing trouble."

"Okay, okay! It turns out it's all my fault, it's all the fault of my family business." Wang Yuanwai gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will donate all my family property to the temple as temple property! I will become a monk! All my worries will go.

Once and for all!”

"Don't, it won't happen! It won't happen!" Lin Tailai quickly stood up and advised: "It's just the clan relatives who are here to make trouble for you, I'll help you deal with it! I'm the chief businessman, you can make arrangements!"

"Really? It's a deal!" Wang Yuanwai said, "Son-in-law, you don't want to see me depressed and have no choice but to become a monk, right?"

Lin Tailai: ""

Damn it! Why do you feel like you're being played?

Cui Yushi was also dumbfounded. He could build a large family business from scratch. Sure enough, there are no simple people.
