"This boy is really unexpected. No wonder he respects the Supreme Emperor so much. Ruhai, look at the methods of your great-nephew He Guang Tongchen. Does he look like the old minister of Qi Zi Jingchu?"

After learning what happened from Chen Rong's mouth, Han Bin didn't even need to hide his displeasure on his face like an old farmer, and looked at Lin Ruhai and asked.

Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "Mr. Banshan, you think so highly of him. The Gonggun princes in the court are harmonious and harmonious for the sake of official rank and wealth, and for the good of you and me as officials. Brother Qiang does this, but it is

To bring peace and wealth."

Han Bin's eyes were sharp and he said: "You are a businessman who has degenerated into a businessman. He really cares about profits and forgets his righteousness. He can collude with people like the Qi family! In order to covet gold and silver wealth, he does not care about the righteousness at all! Ru Hai, you, a disciple, accept this

not good!"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly advised: "Mr. Banseng, don't worry about it for now. When Brother Qiang comes back, you can ask him in person. Although Brother Qiang is not very old, not knowledgeable, and not very smart, at least he is still

He understands something. If he just wants to make money, he doesn't have to do this at all. If he hugs your waist, he has no chance to make a fortune?"

Han Bin said displeasedly: "I have been an upright official all my life, and my family's laws are strict. Who dares to reach out for money? If you follow me, you will naturally have no chance to make a fortune!"

Lin Ruhai heard this, but knew that it was hard to persuade him any more, and he had a new understanding of Han Bin's character.

Although the ancients said: If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, if you listen to one side, you will be dark.

However, if those in power do not act headstrongly and show their strength as a leader, it will be difficult to accomplish major things as quickly as possible, especially the implementation of the New Deal.

However, there are also times when stubborn people easily get into trouble and never look back.

No matter how much others say, it's hard to listen.

Unless he sees it with his own eyes...

Lin Ruhai put aside her thoughts of persuasion and talked to Han Bin about the Lianghuai Salt Policy. After about an hour, Butler Wang came in again and reported: "Brother is back!"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Tell him to come here first."

…

"Did you hear that your uncle-in-law would stay in Yangzhou for another six months, so you made peace with the salt thieves and took the opportunity to make profits?"

Seeing Jia Qiang's arrival, Han Bin did not hide the idea of ​​maintaining dignity at all, and asked straight to the point.

Jia Qiang looked at this old guy and frowned a little, but thinking that this person was a truly religious minister who was dedicated to serving the country and the people, she suppressed her impatience and explained: "If I have this intention, I won't

Someone would beat Qi Wannian's favorite youngest son half to death. The reason why I didn't take the opportunity to show off my face and show off my authority by relying on the name of the Governor's Yamen and Yanyuan Yamen is because I think that Japan today is just a trivial matter.

You can’t implicate other family members just because a half-year-old child hits someone, right? The Qi family may have done something illegal, but I really didn’t see it. In addition, I also told Qi Yun that the reason why the salt merchant is so rich

, after paying so much filial piety to so many people, he was still able to earn so much money because he was drinking the salt and blood of the people. Such huge profits would not last long, so he persuaded the Qi family not to resist needlessly.

"

"childish!"

Han Bin simply laughed angrily and said: "Young boy, you don't know the heights of the world, it's so ridiculous! Who do you think you are? If you tell the Qi family not to resist, they won't resist? Do you know where the Qi family comes from?

What kind of foundation do you dare to persuade others? A horse doesn't know how handsome it is, and it doesn't know how much it weighs. It's so stupid!"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang's eyes deepened and she said: "Mr. Banshee, as a junior, I respect your many years of political achievements and integrity as an official, as well as your lofty aspirations. I am willing to listen to your teachings and your criticism, but I don't

Representative, I am willing to bear your insults for nothing. You are not my elder, my husband, and my father. Why do you insult me?

You don't know what I have in my hand that can make the Qi family regress, but you don't care and don't believe it, you just teach me a lesson.

For me personally, being taught a lesson by you is not a big deal. But if you become the governor of Liangjiang and the minister of military aircraft with this kind of heart and ambition, then you will definitely not become a famous official in the history of history."

Hearing this, Han Bin also darkened his face, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Are you talking about me being stubborn and not knowing right from wrong?"

In the Zhonglin Hall, Chen Rong's forehead was dripping with sweat. He looked at Jia Qiang in shock, feeling that this boy was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

But he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was Lin Ruhai still indifferent to this situation...

Jia Qiang was noncommittal and said: "How the Banshee is doing has nothing to do with the juniors. It's just that the juniors have their own behavior. But I only want to say one thing, if I am greedy for money, why do I need to seek salt profits?"

"What a loud tone!"

After hearing this, Han Bin couldn't help but sarcastically said.

However, at this time, Lin Ruhai coughed dryly and said with a warm smile: "Mr. Banseng, Brother Qiang's words are not really a boast."

Hearing this, Han Bin looked over suspiciously and said, "Ruhai, what's the meaning of this statement? How can he, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, still have the power of Tao Zhu?"

Lin Ruhai also glanced at Jia Qiang with a faint curiosity, and then sighed: "Maybe... a genius. My disciple seems to be like Lu Ban, and he is quite talented as a craftsman. He himself improved the recipe for dyeing cloth.

, which shocked all the eight major officials in the capital. The Wang family of Hengsheng and the Zhao family of Dongsheng spent a lot of money, thirty thousand taels of silver a family, to buy his prescription. I heard that you have other prescriptions? "

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "It's 30,000 taels of one color, and I have several other colors... Let alone the cloth, this is something related to the national economy and people's livelihood. I will not deliberately make a profit on the cloth. Even if one day my home is built

The fabrics produced by my own dyeing workshop must be of the lowest price among the same quality. The matter I discussed with Qi Yun and Xu Zhen today has another name, which is ice making. Banshangong, I have already discussed the saltpeter from the former Song Dynasty.

The ancient method of making ice has been perfected again. Even in the hot summer, ice can be taken from the flat ground. Ban Monkey, please tell me, I, Jia Qiang, want money, but also need to make peace with the Qi family, and covet the charity of his family.

Ten thousand taels of silver? His Qi family just gave me a silver mountain, how much can he have? You really underestimate me."

Han Bin frowned, looked at Jia Qiang carefully a few times, and then turned to look at Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai chuckled and said: "Mr. Ban, if I hadn't known that Brother Qiang was capable of this, how could I have easily let him follow the path he likes? Fortunately, although he can make money, he is not luxurious by nature, and his character is still good.

Not bad. He wants to open more bookstores and needs a lot of money. He doesn't want to take advantage of me, a half-dead person, so I will let him do it. I also want to see what step he can take. If he really can

If he does what he says and devotes his whole life to helping the sons of poor people to study in rural society, what's the harm if he doesn't become an official?"

Han Bin looked at Jia Qiang with a gloomy expression. Although he still had many doubts in his mind, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

If Jia Qiang is really indifferent to power, it doesn't make sense.

There were almost no white men among the people he made friends with.

It makes no sense to say that he is greedy for wealth and honor...

As for greed for money...it still doesn't make sense.

For a moment, Han Bin just felt like a mess, so he simply ignored it for the time being. He looked at Jia Qiang and said: "Okay, then I will also keep an eye on you to see what the hell you are up to!" He was about to dismiss the trouble casually.

Jia Qiang, who had a headache, went down, but suddenly remembered something and said, "How are you going to persuade the Qi family not to resist the new salt tax policy?"

Jia Qiang said: "It's nothing more than an exchange of interests... The salt industry is related to the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people in the world. It is really inappropriate to sit on it and drink salt and blood. I also advise him not to have any resentment. As for what?

To make up for the losses incurred by the Qi family due to the Salt Revolution, I only told Qi Yun that I had a business that could be cooperated with me. Ice making and opening an ice room were just one of them, and there were other bigger businesses. As for

I don't care whether he believes it or not. The life and death of the Qi family is not important to me at all. But I think they will eventually believe it when the ice room is opened."

Now even Lin Ruhai became interested and asked: "Brother Qiang, what are you going to do about the ice room?"

Jia Qiang thought for a while, but didn't hide anything, and said: "This matter is between me, Xu Zhen of the Xu family, and Qi Yun of the Qi family to discuss the joint operation of the three families. I am only responsible for mixing the saltpeter, and the Xu family is in charge.

The ice cellar makes ice, while the Qi family is responsible for selling ice in the ice cellar. In the Jiangnan provinces, a piece of ice five feet square costs fifteen taels of silver. I will lower the price so that even ordinary people can afford it.

A bowl of sweet ice can satisfy the craving of your children, and this will be a new way to make money. After this line is rolled out in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Jinling, and Zhenjiang, the annual income may not be less than selling salt."

"You are responsible for equipping the saltpeter? How much profit do you share?"

Han Bin and Lin Ruhai looked at each other and asked.

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Because I have to study every day, so I am only responsible for preparing the secret ingredients. The recipe is mine, so I hold 50% of the shares."

Han Bin frowned and said, "You just want to do one thing, or just make saltpeter, and you want 50% of the profit? Are they willing?"

Jia Qiang explained: "How much silver it is worth and how many shares it holds are not actually about how much power it is..."

Han Bin frowned and said: "That's ridiculous! Could it be that the one who puts in more effort can only get less profit?"

Jia Qiang said: "There is irreplaceability here. Relatively speaking, whoever is more irreplaceable has a higher value, that is to say, who is more valuable. Banshangong, this is the so-called fairness

.The economic way is different from the way of herdsmen. The Qi family and the Xu family are both families involved in economic livelihood, so I just said it and they agreed and were even satisfied. If I really rely on the power of the Yanyuan Yamen,

Even if they borrow the official authority of Banshangong, even if they open the mouth to 70%, they will only admit it."

After Han Bin was silent for a while, he asked: "Since you are determined to be a merchant and are so good at it, what books do you still study and what kind of fame do you want to take?"

Jia Qiang said truthfully: "There are three reasons for studying to study for merit and fame. First, the younger generation believes that to live, one must study and understand. Of course, the purpose of the younger generation's study is not that simple. There is a second reason.

Even if you don’t want to see an official, you have to kneel down. Even though the Supreme Emperor promised me to be idle all my life, except for the Lord, Lord, Prince, Prince, Prince, Prince, Prince, Master, and the rest, I don’t have to kneel down. But... it is inevitable that some rebellious ministers will appear, ignoring the Supreme Emperor’s will, and imposing official power.

Therefore, if you have a good reputation, you can travel easily. Thirdly, the younger generation will still get married in the future. If you have a serious fame, the Yue family will not look down on it..."

"Go, go, go! You are so full of calculations about your children's love that you have wasted the talent God gave you! Go and rest! Go and have a rest!"

Jia Qiang secretly speculated that the word "go and rest" at the end of the sentence didn't mean to let him go and rest, but it probably meant to let him go and play...
