Fan Yongdou's arrival made the already chaotic situation even more complicated.

This has expanded from regional to national nature.

Although Fan Yongdou is very obedient and respectful to Xu Changqing, he is also very aggressive and even coerced Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing had already understood at this time that the benefits of this million tael, including the larger one, would never be the old dog alone in the purchase of the salt farm!

How dare he be such a cunning old fox who is not sure about it? He even "provoked" himself?

Even if there are members of the Qing Dynasty here, it is not surprising!

Fan Yongdou has indeed transferred some business to Haicheng in recent years and has also bought houses and land in Haicheng to please Xu Changqing, but the core interests of this old dog are still in the northern part, including the Qing Dynasty, Mongolians, Goryeo, armored people, and even the Russians and Siberians.

As long as you have money to make money, there is nothing this old dog dare not do.

From the perspective of justice, including military and personal perspectives, Xu Changqing should not agree to Fan Yongdou's acquisition, making the situation even more complicated.

But... justice is late, military can also be solved in various ways, and personal problems are even more called trouble.

Except for those foolish and unsaved rulers, who would refuse to invest in large foreign capital stocks in their own territory?

And also give yourself so many benefits at once?

It should be noted that salt fields and salt mines have certain special characteristics, and they cannot be mined in three or two years.

Including their main market, most of them are Han people. Xu Changqing and Daming will sooner or later recover these lost lands.

Taking into account various reasons, although Xu Changqing did not agree to Fan Yongdou as soon as possible, Fan Yongdou, the old dog, seemed to have already captured Xu Changqing's thoughts.

It also made the old dog quickly become the protagonist during the evening dinner, communicated with everyone frequently, and exchanged cups, looking red and proud.

This made the salt merchants who were already covered by dark clouds more vigilant.

But Fan Yongdou's foundation is too deep and black and white. They are not good at turning against Fan Yongdou for a while, so they can only ask Fan Yongdou indirectly, hoping to get more things.

But how experienced is Fan Yongdou, this old dog? There is no trace at all.

The salt merchants were so excited that they could eat his flesh and blood immediately and peel him and get cramps, but they had no choice.

In a secret room in the extremely hidden place of the dinner flower hall, Xu Changqing was savoring tea while watching the fire from the other side of the river calmly and observing the scene inside.

This is a hidden "double-sided" glass, which is the latest product of Haicheng Glass Factory. You can see the outside inside, but you can't see the inside outside.

Seeing the salt merchants anxiously waiting for him to appear, Xu Changqing gently tapped the table with his fingers, and repeatedly assessed his interests in his heart!

The reason why Xu Changqing used the Southern Shandong Chamber of Commerce instead of using Haicheng's emerging capital forces to do the Lianghuai Salt Industry is to abolish the salt industry monopoly.

Because later generations have already understood that after the experience, the salt price of daily necessities will still be high-profit industries.

If you want to truly enrich the country and strengthen the people, you must make concessions to the people, especially the most basic living supplies!

That's why Xu Changqing used the people of Lunan to take the blame, rather than Haicheng's own direct lineage.

But what Xu Changqing didn't expect was that even if the people from Shandong were added to Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi, they were really useless.

Xu Changqing almost had to go into battle with bare hands.

But Fan Yongdou's appearance also opened up a new idea for Xu Changqing!

Encourage, or even reward them, Shanxi merchants whose core business is in the North, including other merchants, to invest in the Ming Dynasty!

I believe that as long as Xu Changqing reveals business opportunities, with these smart and smart people, they don’t need to promote it, and they can smell it.

Even if you want to find any way,

Let those Qing royal families and dignitaries invest their spare money to the Ming Dynasty, even if they give them some interest in the early stage.

This will lead to the economic situation of the Qing Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty will gradually become active and give birth to more emerging bourgeoisie.

As for safety, spies, etc., it is not a problem at all.

To put it bluntly, Xu Changqing would never rashly open up the core hinterland of Jiangnan, but only opens the two Huaihe River, southern Shandong, and the Central Plains.

In the future, you only need to block the surrounding points and block their shipping routes, and then you will control their core lifeline.

You can even use their capital to repair the Grand Canal and build a few higher-level official roads to completely strangle them!

Of course, all this must be done step by step.

By then, they all entered his Xu Changqing's hub. For the sake of cost, profit, and the shareholders behind them, even if they don't want to be constrained by Xu Changqing, they will have no choice.

Once this system is formed, as long as Xu Changqing gets stuck in the pass along the Yangtze River, the core lifeline of the gentry in Jiangnan will be gradually captured by Xu Changqing.

If they want to sell their raw silk, tea, porcelain, and various commodities to the north, they have to pass Xu Changqing's level first!

Thinking of this, the blood in Xu Changqing's chest and abdomen also became a little boiling.

A real man has to do big things!

Even though this road is difficult, as long as you do it well, you will achieve success for the future and benefit the country and the people!

At the same time, it can also allow him, Xu Changqing to have more supporters and bind more people's interests to his, Xu Changqing's ship.

At that time, these capital forces will thrive. Even if Xu Changqing does not make any efforts, they will take the initiative to seek overseas markets.

Just as we were about to go to the banquet to meet these salt merchants, we started the first step when a personal soldier suddenly reported to him outside, and Zheng Sen asked for a meeting.

"Um?"

Xu Changqing immediately frowned slightly.

What's the situation?

Could it be that the Zheng family also wants to add to the share of this pie and join Xu Changqing's "Da Ming Special Zone Plan"?

But the Zheng family must give face. Even if it is not for Zheng Zhilong, it has to give face to Zheng Chagu...

Soon, Xu Changqing met Zheng Sen in the flower hall.

Zheng Chagu, who had obviously been carefully dressed up and wanted to attend the dinner with Xu Changqing, rushed over quickly, as bright and beautiful as the queen.

Zheng Sen's face was a little embarrassed. After a long time of confusion, he didn't say anything. Zheng Chagu said annoyedly: "Brother, you are a real man, how kind of mother-in-law is?"

"Forehead……"

Zheng Sen's face turned red when he was criticized, but he came over Qingming. He hurriedly said, "Marty, that's it. My father, my father just replied to the student. My father is also very interested in the matter of Lianghuai Salt Farm and wants to cooperate with you. Of course, my father will never lose money. Moreover, my Zheng family members will be given to the name of Cha Gu..."

"this……"

Zheng Chagu didn't expect her father to make such arrangements. Her beautiful eyes couldn't stop showing hope and looked at Xu Changqing with a bright light, as if she had fallen into the mortal world.

"Brother Yiguan's plan..."

Xu Changqing couldn't help but curse in her heart, "You are so good at playing, and Xu Changqing has no reason to refuse this."

It’s for him to give his baby daughter and future granddaughter. You Xu Changqing doesn’t give him any face, it’s unreasonable.

Seeing that Zheng Chagu's beautiful eyes had begun to turn from expectation to threat, and his little hand was about to pinch his waist, Xu Changqing quickly coughed a few times and said, "Brother Damu, this matter is a bit difficult, hiss, but since Brother Damu opened his mouth, Changqing must do his best. Brother Damu, wait a moment, and I will definitely give Brother Damu a accurate news tonight."

After Xu Changqing and Zheng Chagu left, Zheng Sen came back to his senses with a little cuteness.

He suddenly sent

Now, he underestimated his girl...

Just a few days ago? Even the great hero like Xu Changqing was... already eaten by his sister?

...

"Marty."

"Marty..."

As Xu Changqing, wearing a black robe, walked into the hall with her arm under Zheng Chagu, who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, the originally noisy hall quickly began to quiet down, and everyone's eyes were looking at this side.

Especially when I saw Zheng Chagu, many people showed strange looks on their faces.

A confidant was beside Fan Yongdou, and a confidant quickly explained: "Master, this girl is the beautiful daughter of Fujian General Zheng Zhilong. It is said that the Marquis of Haicheng despises her very much..."

Fan Yongdou nodded slowly, but couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Compared with the charming Zheng Chagu, his niece Fan Ziyu is a little behind. At this point, this is probably not a backward thing, but...

"Why is this stinky girl so unsatisfactory? If I hadn't had a suitable daughter, how could I give you this good thing?! Let's see how I deal with you when I go back!"

Fan Yongdou felt ruthless, but at this moment there was no way, so he could only endure it first.

"Mr. Marquis, everyone is a little excited and it's a little difficult to deal with..."

As soon as Xu Changqing came out, Zhu Guobi, the Funing Hou who hosted tonight's dinner, came quickly to greet him and whispered to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing nodded in a organized manner and signaled that Zhu Guobi was at ease.

Zhu Guobi immediately understood and hurriedly retreated to the side respectfully.

With Xu Changqing coming out to take charge in person, his pressure seemed to have dropped sharply. Next, if you implement it in detail, it will definitely be much easier.

"Everyone, everyone."

Xu Changqing hugged Zheng Chagu's slender waist, walked to the venue in a scheming manner, took a glass of wine handed over by the maid, and glanced at everyone with a smile.

Seeing Xu Changqing about to speak, everyone's ears were like rabbits, and they knew that it was time to decide their fate.

Although Zheng Chagu was used to big scenes, at this time, this Westernized dinner party, and she was almost treated like Xu Changqing's wife, was still so nervous.
