"As long as our Qian family contributes money to let those foreign tribes make a fuss in Xiahe County, and then use their hands to get rid of Song Tianming, it will definitely be unaware of it!

If these foreign races can cooperate, we will use their hands to turn the big knot into pieces!

If you can't, you will kill someone to silence you. Our Qian family is still a hero to resist foreign enemies!

No matter what, we won’t lose money!”

Qian Sihai stared into his eyes: "Qian San, every word you say now is enough for you to die ten times, do you know?"

"As long as you can save the Qian family, as long as you can avenge the eldest son, what if you die a young man?

As long as the master is willing, he doesn’t need to take action. The young man will arrange everything and will never have anything to do with the master!”

Qian Sihai suddenly heard what he meant: "Arranging everything...that is, you have long been in contact with foreign tribes, right?"

"I have traveled with the master over the years, and I have made many people."

"Haha, Qian San, you really have......" Qian Sihai smiled helplessly.

Qian Sanchang couldn't stand up, and Qian Sihai was silent for a long time.

Qian San's words lingered in his mind like a devil's whisper and could not be gone.

Although it was full of sin, Qian Sihai could see a trace of the future of the family from it.

After a while, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and waved his hand: "You go down first, let me think about it..."

The incident of King Dingbei causing trouble in the Qian family was spread to ten, and ten to hundreds of people soon became well known.

Logically speaking, it should be the King of Dingbei who was in trouble, but after the inside story was understood by the public, all the fingers pointed at the Qian family.

If the Qian family hadn't coveted military intelligence, how could it have attracted such strong revenge from King Dingbei?

In addition, it was later reported that the title of King Dingbei was deposed and became the Marquis of Dingbei, and the people's disgust towards the Qian family reached its peak.

For a time, the Qian family became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted to beat them, and the family's business was greatly affected.

At the same time, Dingbei Hou's prestige also increased.

Soon, Song Tianming, who was far away in Xiahe County, also received a letter from Dingbei Hou.

The letter said that His Majesty felt guilty for cutting off his title and planned to make some compensation.

The Marquis of Dingbei took the opportunity to make suggestions and praised Song Tianming's contributions. His Majesty immediately issued an order to grant Song Tianming the Baron of Xiahe!

Less than two days after the letter came, the eunuch who sent the order also came to Xiahe County.

The title of Dagan is not much different from the ancient times. From big to small, they are kings, princes, and princes.

Baron is the lowest level of knight.

It’s not that Song Tianming’s contributions were not great enough, but that there are very strict regulations on the promotion of titles for those who work hard.

In addition to the most basic review, the most important principle is that one cannot leap to the title.

If there is no title, you have to start with the baron and not jump directly to a higher title.

Therefore, the titles of Dagan have always been extremely valuable, because every marquis and kings who have been awarded have countless contributions. Some are like the King of Dingbei, and every promotion of the title is due to the great merit behind it.

Of course, this is just for the nobles of different surnames, and the royal relatives have another set of legal system.

Therefore, even if Song Tianming directly cut off the head of the barbarian leader, he had to start with the baron.

The baron had a lot of power, but the only problem was that the emperor did not award him a fief.

In other words, I am just a nominal noble, and taxes will be left to the county government for jurisdiction.

However, Song Tianming was already very satisfied with this.

For him, as long as he has a title, it is enough to deal with all the problems in Xiahe County.

As for the tax, he really didn't take it seriously.

Once your business grows bigger, do you still need to care about the taxes in a mere county?

In contrast, the baron's power is more practical.

You know, with his current baron status, even the magistrate of Xiahe County must salute respectfully when he sees him!

If necessary, he can even place the county magistrate and county magistrate and directly issue orders to the people and officers and soldiers in the county!

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the local emperor of Xiahe County.

Of course, Song Tianming was not very interested in these things.

His biggest goal is to engage in production!

News that Song Tianming was named a nobleman soon spread in Xiahe County.

There are endless people visiting each day, all of whom are famous gentry and rich people in Xiahe County.

Song Tianming is the first baron named after a county in Xiahe County!

It was awarded by the emperor himself, which is of great significance to Xiahe County!

In the past, Song Tianming was hard to see these people, but now he is rushing to curry favor with him, which makes him sigh.

Fame and power are really amazing things.

Song Tianming had to deal with these people one by one. After all, he would have to cooperate with them in Xiahe County in the future.

The only ones who did not come were the shopkeepers of Qian’s shop.

The rich and gentry were also good at judging the situation. Seeing that the Qian family and Song Tianming were not in dealing with each other, they immediately changed their minds and cut off business dealings with the Qian family.

This made the Qian family's situation in Xiahe County worse.

Originally, they had already lost the hearts of Xiahe County because of Qian Bojun's incident.

People would rather buy things that are once a day, and then go to Qianjia shop to spend.

It is better to sell grain and gema to other shops at a low price than to the Qian family.

There is no way, the Qian family can only sell the goods to other counties and then purchase the required raw materials from other counties.

This undoubtedly increased the cost. Once it went back and forth, the profits of Qian's business dropped sharply by as much as 30%!

That's not all. Among the gentry who cut off business transactions, several of them are engaged in freight business.

Most of the Qian family's goods are handled by them, transported and exported!

Now without their support, the Qian family can only solve all this.

Just reorganizing the freight team, I spent a lot of money on the money, and I spent all the profits this year, and I even paid a lot of them!

Of course, the centipede worm will die without being stiff. If it is just like this, it will at most cause some losses and troubles to the Qian family. It is still a lot short of being able to truly bring down the Qian family's power in Xiahe County.

But the house was filled with rain and the day after Song Tianming became the baron, the new county magistrate took office.

This county magistrate was originally a clan of Dingbeihou and had been working in the capital. Now, under the operation of Dingbeihou, he has been transferred to Xiahe County to help Song Tianming.

As soon as he took office, he doubled the Qian family's tax!

In Daqian, there are actually laws similar to anti-monopoly, which are to restrict merchants from making money.

For example, high commercial taxes are imposed, restricting merchants' transaction volume in money houses, limiting business scale, etc.

However, when actually implementing, these laws are difficult to implement due to the backward communication and jurisdiction methods, and the collusion between officials and businessmen.

Especially for special merchant families like the Qian family, the court will secretly give more convenience, and the enforcement of laws will be more relaxed.

This is the case in Xiahe County. Because the Qian family's business would bring huge benefits to the economy of Xiahe County, the county magistrate's tax collection on them would be secretly reduced a lot.

They will even help them make fake accounts to avoid inspections from the Ministry of Revenue.

These situations have long been open secrets.

However, as soon as the new county magistrate took office, he took the initiative to kill him.

This made the Qian family's life in Xiahe County even more and more difficult and they could not hold on.

However, Song Tianming had no intention of uprooting the Qian family immediately.

The Qian family has been operating in Xiahe County for a long time and has a great influence on the local politics and economy. It can be said that you have me and I have you, and you are no longer inseparable.

A single hair moves the whole body!

For example, the Qian family's business has been in a downturn recently and has begun to fire workers on a large scale. Many people who originally worked in the Qian family have lost food.

If it falls down in a blast, it will only cause large-scale unemployment and economic collapse, causing Xiahe County to fall into great chaos.

I will also be resentful by the people of Xiahe County.

Song Tianming wanted to solve the hidden danger of the Qian family, but he did not want to follow the interests of the people of He County as a price. Regardless of their lives or death, he did not want to be criticized.

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

If possible, he would rather take over the Qian family's business completely and give their surname Song.
