Mr. Ji is under great pressure.

He received a letter from Yan Yunge, and a new task was pressed against his head like Mount Tai, making him breathless.

He must do everything possible to differentiate and win over the aristocratic families and break the monopoly of the aristocratic families.

And we must also show our sincerity to the aristocratic family.

Pingyang County really doesn’t want to challenge anyone, it’s just a pitiful little person who wants to join the aristocratic family circle.

Dear guys, please be proud!

Is it okay to give me a bite of food?

From now on, Pingyang County will be your younger brother, the front pawn, and you will be sent to you and earn money for you.

A younger brother who is so gentle and can make money can never find another one in the world except Pingyang County.

Big Boss of the Aristocratic Family, do you really have the heart to suppress and block and destroy this cute little brother?

oh!

That would be an extremely heavy loss.

Think about it, without Pingyang County, the quality of salt can be improved so much?

Have you seen snow-white salt before?

Definitely never seen it.

In the past, the salt was yellow and white, and even mixed with various impurities.

The salt as white as snow is clearly distinguished, and I never thought about it!

In the past, salt mixed with various impurities could be sold at such a high price and made large profits.

Nowadays, if you add something to the snow-white salt, the profit will increase exponentially.

Dear masters of the aristocratic family, are you sure you want to destroy this little expert in making money?

The above are all the meanings revealed in Yan Yunge's letter.

She made Mr. Ji show weakness!

To do everything possible to show weakness!

He also asked him to speak out in business, and to show the businessman's cunning and never give in.

At least show an unyielding attitude.

It makes people mistakenly believe that once the profit is given, Pingyang County will go bankrupt.

Mr. Ji stared at the letter for a long time...

He is in a dilemma!

Mrs. Yan’s requirements are extremely high.

It is not just about differentiation and win over, it is clearly about acting, and it must be realistic.

He is too difficult!

He is so old that he has been decent all his life, but he has to do this when he is old.

"I don't know how many years I can do this old bone. I'm old and old, but I'm not as sensible as young people. One set after another, how did I come up with it?"

Don't worry about how old this bone is, you have to take on it when the task comes.

Mr. Ji also had a few tricks. For a period of time, he saw his carriage shuttle back and forth in Jianzhou City.

Occasionally, I had to go to the palace to give gifts to the Empress for Mrs. Yan.

...

Ling Changzhi was in a difficult situation!

There are two plates on the table, with white and valuable things placed inside.

Inside a plate is salt in Pingyang County.

Inside the other plate is Pingyang County sugar.

The white salt and sugar make people salivate.

He stared at the two plates for a long time and sighed last, "What is Mrs. Yan going to do? Is this tempting me? As a member of the Ling family, how can I be tempted by a mere benefit?"

"The profit of millions of chunks of money a year is good at operating, and even a profit of ten millions of chunks of money is not a mere benefit."

Prince Zhong sat down at the lower head, drinking tea, and his expression was calm.

This time, he secretly returned to Jianzhou and specifically contacted Ling Changzhi to discuss business.

Mr. Ji is very good at it. He did not look for Ling Changzhi directly, but instead found Prince Zhong's concubine first.

After convinced Prince Zhong, he also handed over the important task of persuading Ling Changzhi to Prince Zhong.

At the same time, in order to barter, the first batch of grain purchased by Pingyang County from Zhongjia was already on board.

A huge fleet of ships is heading north of Shunjiang River and will arrive at the wharf outside the city of Pingyang County in a few days.

Everything is driven by interests.

When the prince-maid Zhong canceled the order for Shaofu and Fugui Villa, who would have thought that the two sides would have a day of cooperation?

It can be seen that there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests, and this is the truth!

Suitable for all industries and everyone.

Family hatred and national hatred can all be transformed into peace and cooperation driven by the land of interests.

"I forgot to remind you that the profit of 10 million guan a year is just salt, not sugar. Lord Ling should be clear that the profit of salt is less than tens of millions of guan a year just in the south. If we cooperate with Pingyang County, take over the monopoly of such high-quality salt and gradually erode the market, all the profits will be ours. Will Lord Ling really not be moved by tens of millions of guan?"

Ling Changzhi gently tapped the table, "Once the salt in Pingyang County hit the market, how can other salt mines survive? Those traditional salt fields do not have the master as smart as Yan Yunge. This matter involves the livelihoods of countless people, and I must be cautious."

"Of course we have to be cautious! So, in fact, we have not planned to eliminate those old salt fields, nor have we planned to completely occupy the market. We only need to divide the market a little bit and control the salt production in Pingyang County, and make money and not offend people. Everyone is happy."

When Prince Zhong talks about the salt business, his eyes are shining.

Ling Changzhi snorted coldly, "Are you sure you will not offend anyone if you do this?"

Prince Zhong laughed, "Did Lord Ling forget that we still have white sugar, real white sugar. Whoever has profits is damaged, will share the money from the white sugar. In any case, it can always block the world's mouths. I don't believe it. You are willing to eat brown sugar and yellow sugar every day. You really want to block the things that are so good in sugar. Are you crazy?"

Ling Changzhi sneered, "Of course I am not crazy. You only see the profits in front of you. Why don't you think about how many years later, Pingyang County relies on the salt and sugar trade to earn a lot of money and support a large number of troops. At that time, it will be extremely powerful and difficult to curb. She will erode the interests of all the aristocratic families in the world step by step. At that time, you and I will be sinners."

Prince Zhong laughed, "Mr. Ling, don't exaggerate! How do you know that Mrs. Yan doesn't want to join us? Why are you sure that she wants to fight against us? It's not good for her to fight against the world's aristocratic families. Why don't you join us and become one of us? From now on, everyone will make money together, and everyone will share the benefits together."

Ling Changzhi pointed at him, his heart ached a little, and he was very angry.

"So, even if you become an official, you are only suitable for managing the Shaofu and cannot enter the court. If you are politically keen, you are not as good as Princess Chengyang."

Prince Zhong was also a little angry.

He was not happy that anyone would compare him with Princess Chengyang.

He said solemnly: "I know what you are worried about by Lord Ling is nothing more than Mrs. Yan is just showing weakness for a while. Once the army is strong, it will show its fangs and bite us all. For hundreds of years, some families have even been passed down for thousands of years. What a long time.

We are still following the rules of the past few hundred years ago. Don’t you realize it’s time to change and adapt to this era more? You like to follow the rules of the old antiques hundreds of years ago, and I don’t want to.

If you are unhappy to cooperate with Pingyang County, then the prince consort will find someone to cooperate with. I believe there are many families who are moved, such as the Cui family and the Xu family. These seem to be in-laws of your Ling family. In addition, Mr. Ji has entered the palace several times, and if nothing unexpected happens, the palace will definitely get a piece of the pie. Who made the emperor short of money!"

No matter how much money the Ministry of Revenue has, it cannot withstand the erosion of various expenses.

Being the emperor must also find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Yan Yunge took the initiative to deliver money-making transactions to his door, but the emperor really had no reason to refuse.

Even if you pretend to be reserved, it will be really delicious after three or five times!

Everyone is "very fragrant", so Ling Changzhi is worried, this is doing against the trend.

Ling Changzhi was furious and pointed at Prince Zhong, "You guys are indeed not going to get up early without profit. They are in front of each other and behind the back. At first, they say they want to attack Pingyang County so that Pingyang County will not survive this winter. It has only been a few days now, and they have started to change their words. They are still saying that they want Pingyang County to be one of us. They are all farts!"

Prince Zhong asked with interest: "How do you put this fart? Please tell me clearly by Lord Ling."

Ling Changzhi took a sip of tea and said loudly: "Seeing the big ones from the small, when you look at Yan Yunge's previous style of acting in Fugui Villa, you will know that she has great ambitions. She runs literacy classes and teaches for free. No matter her age or background, as long as she is willing to study, she can go to the literacy class to read and read. Two hundred words, five hundred words, eight hundred words, one after another, and then, do you know what she has done?"

"What's up?"

Ling Changzhi smiled coldly, his eyes were cold, he was vigilant, and he was worried.

He said: "She set up a literacy class and then conducts cultural assessments! As long as it is a business under her name, whether it is a friend or a manager, all cultural assessments must be conducted. Moreover, this set of assessment methods has been promoted to the guard camp, military camp, and yamen.

In other words, if you go to Pingyang County, you will walk into a restaurant that cooperates with the North and South Commercial Banks, and call an inconspicuous waiter, and you will know at least two hundred words. Sooner or later, she will reopen the imperial examination.

You heard it right. Pingyang County took the lead in holding the imperial examination, and then forced the imperial examination to hold the imperial examination. I don’t need to say the dangers of the imperial examination, the prince-consort should be clear about it! Whether it is salt or sugar, it is a small path.

The real harm is that she makes high profits through salt and sugar, and then advances the imperial examination plan step by step. When the poor students in the world pour into Pingyang County, guess what will happen?"

Prince Zhong was a little confused.

He is definitely a top-notch businessman.

Speaking of political keenness, he is indeed inferior to those of Ling Changzhi.

Ling Changzhi smiled coldly and told him, "So many scholars flocked to Pingyang County and had no place to settle down. What should I do? Grab the territory! Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use troops for a while. You won't naively think that Yan Yunge will be satisfied with a small Pingyang County!

If you look at the surrounding counties, it will fall into her hands within three to five years. My official also miscalculated. When she asked me for a blank document, she didn't expect that her ambition was so great. If she had known this, she would not have agreed to her no matter what she said."

That's all.

Faced with the temptation of the map, Ling Changzhi couldn't control it.

If he did it again, he would still choose to exchange blank documents for maps.
