The middle-aged man looked at the young man with a smile, pointed at himself and said, "Who am I? I am the head of the Li family of Li from the four Shanxi merchants. Why should I get involved with them? A group of lifeless things."

"You said, who do you belong to the world's salt merchants now?" Li Zhongxing shook his chair and said to his son Li Xi beside him.

Although Li Xi was young, she was not stupid. She had been doing business with her father since she was a child and grew up in a family like Shanxi merchants. He naturally knew this. After pondering for a moment, Li Xi was stabilizing his emotions.

He knew that he had fucked a little just now, and he was not in a hurry to answer his father's question.

Li Zhongxing looked at his son and nodded with satisfaction. Although he was still a little frizzy, he was still young, which was understandable. He didn’t look like this when he was young. It would be great to be able to think.

"Dad, do you think something is wrong this time?" Li Xi looked at Li Zhongxing and asked hesitantly.

Without answering his son's question, Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "Although there are many salt farms in Daming, the one that produces the most salt is Lianghuai, so the court set up Lianghuai Salt Transportation Envoy in Yangzhou."

"The prosperity of Yangzhou today is all because of this yamen in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou has become a place of wealthy people in the world."

"Among the salt merchants in Yangzhou, people from two places have become the best, one is our Shanxi merchants and the other is their Hui merchants." Li Zhongxing said here, with a look of pride on his face.

"Lianghuai produces salt and transports salt to border towns. At this time, Hui merchants took advantage of it. They were in Lianghuai, and they could organize people to transport grain to exchange salt and then go back to change salt. Our Shanxi merchants, who are close to border towns, can grow grain to exchange salt and then exchange salt in border towns."

"So although it is said that Yangzhou salt merchants are not Yangzhou people, but Huizhou salt merchants and Shanxi merchants."

Li Xi listened very seriously. Although he had done business with his father before, this was the first time he heard his father talk about these things. Obviously, these are unknown and deep-seated things.

"When everyone started their business, they worked hard, but later they gradually got better. They didn't have to transport grain, just spend money on buying and selling."

"But you can buy it, and others can buy it too. They just pull the salt out of the salt farm and sell it to various places. There are private salt profits in the middle. The profits of salt are too great. Everyone will think about ginseng. Isn't that the nobles like this?"

"We should pay for the money, but we should probably make money or make money, but the people who lose money are the people and the court."

"But everyone comes here like this, everyone does it, what are you afraid of?" Li Zhongxing smiled mockingly: "But some people are afraid! Not every salt merchant is a fool. So what if you have more money? When people want to kill you, you can only stick out your head obediently."

"What about Shen Wansan? Isn't it that my family will be destroyed and my family will be confiscated?"

Turning to look at his son, Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "So our Li family will have a family motto, which is a family motto left by our ancestors of the Li family when they entered the industry to make salt. The seven words are "Businessmen will not stand out for wealth."

"After so many years, my father has been here, which is why our Li family is often questioned that it is the four great masters of Shanxi merchants, but what about that? It's just a false reputation. We are the four great masters of Shanxi merchants, and we are still the Li family, not the four great masters of Shanxi merchants, but we are still the Li family."

Li Xi listened quietly and subconsciously sat upright.

"When everyone has money, no one wants to end up like a sunset, so just think of a way!" Li Zhongxing said self-deprecatingly: "It's just that the Shanxi merchants and Hui merchants think differently."

"Hui Shang thought we had money, so he would use money to open the way, bribe officials, make good friends with nobles, and make money. If money doesn't work, then promise beauty and cannot buy good things, so he raised it himself, so Yangzhou's thin horses are popular all over the world."

"Later they felt that this was not safe, and the nobles and officials would turn against each other."

"So he began to sponsor scholars, marry promising young people, make famous for respected scholars, and help them build academies. In a word, consolidate their own position and let their own people in the court."

This was the first time Li Xi heard his father say these things. He looked down on those Hui merchants because of these things.

I always feel that those Hui merchants can do nothing except enjoying, playing with women, and being arty. Now after listening to my father’s statement, Li Xi finally understood that things did not seem so simple!

"Where are our Shanxi merchants? Of course we can't sit still and wait for death!" Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "But our Shanxi merchants don't learn their kindness."

"People say that our Shanxi merchants detained us, and they even asked us to detain Laoxi, but we believe in things differently from them. At that time, there were no four Shanxi merchants, and they all did the same business."

"But everyone is afraid! The more money you have, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more

"Everyone is thinking about someone in the court. People say that someone in the court is easy to be an official, and we are also interested in business. In addition, those who are businessmen are looked down upon for the rest of their lives. If they want to be the best, they are still studying."

"So everyone asked sir to study for the children in the family."

"Why are the four great masters of Shanxi merchants now the four great masters of Shanxi merchants? It's not because of good business, but because the people in the family are doing well. It was not easy to rank first, but since Zhang Siwei entered the cabinet, the Zhang family has been the first."

"Now that he has become the chief minister of the cabinet again, the Zhang family is even more arrogant."

"The second-ranked Wang family, the governor of the Three-Border, Wang Chonggu, is worse than the current county magnitude. He is the governor of the Three-Border, and he is in charge of this acre of three-part land. Will the Wang family's business be smaller? However, Wang Chonggu has retired and has only been slightly inferior to the Zhang family in the past two years."

"The third one is the Fan family. Among our four families, although the Fan family has no major officials in the court, among the local officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi, the Fan family has the most children and is strong."

After glanced at his son, Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "When I say this, do you think the name of the four Shanxi merchants in our Li family is a bit vague? It really looks like what people say is joining the four Shanxi merchants in the world?"

Looking at his son's appearance, Li Zhongxing smiled: "Our Li family motto, businessmen are not good at making a fortune, what's wrong with the last one?"

"This time, the private salt case of Hejianfu seems to be just a private salt case, but there are still many smart people. Look at the Hui merchants who were scared and ran to the capital happily and called us too."

"What's the use? I'm so anxious now that I'm worried, what have you done long ago?"

Li Xi pondered for a moment, turned to look at his father and asked, "Dad, then what will the court do this time?"

"You ask me, who will I ask?" Li Zhongxing said angrily: "Even the Zhang family doesn't know, how can we know? Look at the Zhang family, it's not a big deal at all. Those Hui merchants are willing to make trouble, so let them make trouble."

"It's better to wait and see if you're going to change!" Li Zhongxing said to Li Xi: "Have you found the way you have asked you to find these days?"

"Dad, I've found it. The child has already known Zhang Xun. I've been familiar with him these days. The money has been given almost the same. He has agreed to recommend Zhang Jing to the child." Li Xi nodded and said.

Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "That's good. Don't mess around with those Hui merchants. Let's do our own way."

"I understand!" Li Xi nodded and said respectfully: "I will definitely not let my father down."

Although the incident of the Ola people caused a lot of storms, what the court is most looking forward to is the matter about the Qian family in Hejian, which involves too many people. The key is that the direction of this matter will involve a lot of people.

The same is true for the cabinet. Everyone is waiting for the emperor to approve the matter, but what is unexpected is that Zhu Yijun called the nobles to enter the palace.

From Duke to Marquis, and then to Bo, Zhu Yijun called all these people into the palace, as well as other royal relatives, Wuqing Bo Li Wei, and Queen Wang's father, Yongnian Bo Wang Wei. This person is also very fierce now. Who doesn't know that the emperor favors Queen Wang very much?

The nobles didn't think so at first, but after entering the palace, everyone found that it was different because the emperor asked them to come to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

I originally thought it was not that formal, but now it seems that it is very formal.

British Duke Zhang Rong stood in front, but held his shoulders and closed his eyes to rest, as if he was asleep. Beside him, Duke Ding Guo Xu Wenbi was also looking at him with a look of keeping others away, and the meaning was very obvious. Don’t come to me.

Although it is a bit inexplicable, everyone knows that something is going to happen.

At this time, everyone saw the Queen of Xining walked in from behind, and many of them were just looking at each other. Everyone knew about Queen of Xining. Now that he appeared here, it would definitely not be a good sign.

"The emperor is here!" As Zhang Jing shouted, Zhu Yijun turned out from behind the huge screen.

The nobles quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Long live my emperor, my emperor!"

"You are so kind!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I have never talked to you since I took office. Today, I will take advantage of everyone's leisure to talk to you. Everyone doesn't have to be restrained. Those present are either the nobles of the Ming Dynasty or the nobles of the Ming Dynasty. There is nothing that cannot be said."

"I didn't expect that everyone's life would be hard until this private salt case."

When everyone heard Zhu Yijun filed a private salt case, they were shocked. Obviously, the emperor's subordinates probably weren't good things.
