Chapter 507: The overall situation of salt market
There was the poor and poor Feng family's son who had already been a errand for someone, but suddenly he changed into a long gown and came over to compete for his family property. The Feng family's sons all gave the benefit of being so popular outside, as long as they were in charge of their own family.
Apart from this, the shopkeepers and managers of Feng's industries are all benefiting themselves, and no one cares about it at this time.
It is no longer important to investigate major cases on the ground in Yangzhou. Anyway, I really have to blame you for your unlucky things like the prefect, the magistrate, the county magistrate, and the officials should still be as good as the officials. In the world, everyone is thinking about how to make a fortune in the Feng family.
The servants took the first bite that night and almost transported out three trucks of goods. They thought they could not eat and use them all for life, but who would have thought that they would be taken to prison the next day, and the goods they caught were divided into Yu Jing. As for the servants and guards of the Feng family, they were lucky enough to run fast. As long as they were not leaving at dawn, they were all in great trouble. They were all imprisoned and tortured to ask if they had collusion with this group of thieves. As for the money they had on them, they were all stolen and were swallowed openly.
Such torture cannot be said to be useless. I still found that two servants who worked in the inner hut did not come back that night. Everyone thought they had gone out to mess around. These servants who were respectful in front of the great master were really hard to deal with.
It is a coincidence that when Feng Jinde returned to Yangzhou, he found the bodies of these two missing servants in a pond west of the city.
As soon as Feng Jinde came back, the situation immediately became different. Whether in terms of seniority, status in the clan, or reputation in Yangzhou City, Feng Jinde is the most well-deserved leader of the Feng family.
He was able to suppress the situation when he came back. He first sent someone to say hello to the official. The Feng family considered the lost wealth and goods, and the Feng family would not investigate. At the same time, the Feng family also took out money and asked the official to come to the door to arrest all the servants and tribe members who took advantage of the chaos and acted indiscriminately. Then he arranged for the trusted accounting managers in the clan to inspect the industry and check the accounts, and promised not to blame them, but those people wanted to spit out the swallowed things.
Then, the female family of Mr. Feng, who was sent to a manor outside the city to rest. If you want to go back to your parents' home or remarry, you will be self-contained. You will also scare away those illegitimate children who dare to make trouble or ask for money by scaring away the official mission.
Only by using all kinds of means can the Feng family stabilize the situation, and then the Feng family members closed down and negotiated.
Feng Jinde, the elder brother of the Feng family, has a high generation and a high reputation, but he cannot suppress the Feng family's clan members at all. After all, Feng Shaoxian also has brothers and descendants. In this regard, it is closer than Feng Jinde, and there are many more statements. It is difficult to distinguish a result, let alone outsiders intervene, and it is even more entangled.
"When I came back, Master Jin said, "If you have any help, just speak up." This seemingly unintentional statement made everyone quiet.
The group of "River Thieves" who almost destroyed the Feng family now have no trace of them. No matter in the government or in the world, they can't tell the reason.
Even if you can't find out, you can't find out clearly, but everyone vaguely guessed who you are. In Jiangnan and Jiangbei, there are only Zhao Jin in Xuzhou and the Feng family who are incompatible, and they kill each other. Thinking about the majestic and evil spirit that Zhao Jin had in the grass nest, the matter in Yangzhou might also be related.
There are many people who can think of it, and no one dares to say it out loud. Kill one person, two people, or ten people, but everyone is not afraid of killing hundreds and defeating thousands. They dare to come up to destroy the family and kill bloody battles. There is no trace afterwards. Who is not afraid?
Who dares to offend such a cruel method and such a life-seeking fierce god, who dares to offend such a rashly? All the towns were subdued in Yangzhou, and even the officials and servants in the government were silent. Everyone can think that even if the official army will suppress it, maybe Zhao Jin will be punished, but who can guarantee that the lawless desperate people will come to Yangzhou again. It is not safe outside the city. Is it safe inside the city? How did Feng Shaoliang, the Feng family, die?
Think about it carefully, the Feng family and Zhao Jin turned against each other. Both sides fought in the officialdom, and then fought in the grass nest. After Zhao Jin won, he did not stop. He first killed Feng Shaoliang, the concubine son of the Feng family, and then washed the Feng family's entire family in the middle of the night. This method of action was really like thunder and thunder, without any stop until the enemy was completely defeated. Who dared to offend such a terrible force and such a cruel method?
Moreover, Yangzhou is well-informed and knows that the governor Yi Yu, the governor, was watching the Feng family because Zhao Jin also had a big backer in the capital, he was powerful and had a backstage. Who dared to offend such a person is not his own business, so why bother to talk too much? To be naughty, even if it is his own business, he will win back at this time.
Feng Jinde reported Zhao Jin's name and was quiet all over, and there was something unwilling to accept it. After understanding what to do, he stopped. Even the self-healthy shopkeepers and greedy shopkeepers were honest. In just over ten days, Feng Jinde took the Feng family in his hands, although it was already ruined.
The family members suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy losses, but these are all manifestations. As long as the salt quota is still there, as long as the relationship between the salt field and the salt road is still there, and even the shops in the salt market are still there, the Feng family will soon be able to turn over.
However, the tribesmen stopped making trouble, but the salt merchants were eyeing each other. The Feng family’s legal and illegal things in the salt industry were too valuable. There was nothing to say about the good business in the past. Now it is in decline, and everyone wants to come and have a bite.
Especially those salt merchants who open shops in the salt market and cooperate with Zhao Jin are even more anxious and jealous. If you have the face of Master Jin, we have a good relationship with Master Jin. If we decide the winner and lose, Master Jin may not be a favourite.
Fortunately, Feng Jinde was clear. When someone called him the old man, he did not forget himself, nor did he stay in Yangzhou to enjoy the glory and wealth. Instead, he hurriedly embarked on the road to Xuzhou. Who caused all this in front of him, and who gave it to him, Feng Jinde understood very well. Of course, he did not want to repeat the same mistakes.
As for the salt merchants in Yangzhou City, even those who have no connection with Xuzhou, they are now preparing to go to Xuzhou. As for those who set up places in the salt market, they are all hurrying to get on the road, and some people have just returned and have been busy continuing to set off.
When the salt merchants set off in Yangzhou, a company and bow team of Zhaoziying's personal guards, together with the cavalry and the Tartar cavalry, led by Dong Bingfeng and Ji Xiang, came from Xuzhou in batches to Pizhou. They took a short rest in Yutou Town and replenished supplies, and then took a boat to the east shore of Luoma Lake.
A simple dock and road had been built by the refugees there, and along the road to the refugee village, they met with the three companies there, one company stayed behind, and the other three companies plus cavalry and bow teams, as well as five hundred young and strong refugees, totaling 1,200. Under the leadership of Li Dajin and Pizhou, they marched eastward.
Five days later, the Zhaoziying team attacked a manor on the bank of Lianhe River in the early morning. The manor was not just farmers, but nearly a thousand bandits, but they were not prepared at all. They were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, with most of the casualties. At noon, Zhaoziying embarked on the way home with the seized cattle, horses and vehicles.
In the second half of June, hundreds of heads were received in the government offices in Haizhou and Pizhou. Many of them were desperate thieves who had been wanted by the government for a long time. The government offices in Haizhou and Pizhou received praise and contributions because of this.
At the same time, the grass-flying snake, the grass-flying snake, was completely erased, and there was no trace of the Feng family on the entire grass-flying beach. In fact, there were no grass-flying trees on the entire grass-flying beach. The martial artists in Xuzhou and Pizhou swept the crowds, and small bandits were either destroyed or fled without a trace. The places where the refugees lived were also gathered near the refugee Xinzhai.
The refugee Xinzhai is already very decent, and the surrounding wasteland has been reclaimed. Although the harvest will not be very good in the first few years, after all, with output, the input from outside can be greatly reduced. Moreover, the input from Yutou Town is not one-way, because the salt goods smuggled out from the salt farm stove owners in Haizhou are now distributed from the refugee Xinzhai and then transported and sold outside.
Many salt dealers bought food and goods directly from Yutou Town and rushed to the refugee Xinzhai to do business.
It turned out that the refugee Xinzhai asked for confidentiality and was afraid of being pulled out by various forces, but the current refugee Xinzhai did not have these concerns.
When salt merchants from all walks of life arrived in Xuzhou, everything that happened on the grass nest was settled. This time, no special review was prepared for them, but they just led the new parties to see Zhao Ziying's training.
Whether you know it or not, the elites of Zhao Ying’s servants and bloody murderous aura that has been affected by life can be felt and shocked, or more accurately, scared.
After seeing the strength, I naturally understood my attitude and position. Thinking about the fate of the Feng family, everyone was ready to be hit hard.
But when discussing with Zhao Jin, there was no similarity in the bone-kneading marrow-sucking marrow, and the share of the salt market became 30%. This was no problem. In addition, it was to open a winery selling wine in Yangzhou and Qingjiangpu. This was also very simple. The salt merchants were quite good in Jiangbei and Jiangnan. Third, Zhao Jin wanted to take down the thief farm near Haizhou. Everyone agreed that the farm was actually the warehouse of several nearby small salt fields, owned by the Feng family.
Zhao Jin wanted this place, but he thought he wanted to mix it with private salt. It had reached this point. Who could stop him? His request was already very reasonable.
Even the Feng family did not lose much flesh and blood. After Zhao Jin asked for that farm, the Feng family's private salt share in Haizhou was not on the official side, and Zhao Jin wanted 40%. This is really not too much. If the share in the official side is not on the official side, it would be a pound of profit. Even if Zhao Jin took a bite, it would be a small profit, not a non-money.
Thank you everyone
