After a while, Bai Heng looked inside his study and waited for a visitor.
This gray-haired old man came in quietly from the side door and did not disturb anyone.
When he took off his light cloak, it was Jia Ziming, the number one salt merchant.
Jia Ziming has been working in the salt industry since he was a teenager. He got his first salt quotation in his twenties. After thirty years of hard work, he finally became the number one salt merchant in Yangzhou.
He did not succeed through crooked ways, but he did it step by step and made officials, kitchen households, water merchants, etc. like him, so he succeeded.
The biggest characteristic of such a person is that he is steady and down-to-earth, and after gaining so much, he is the person who is most afraid of losing everything.
Therefore, he quietly turned around and came to visit Bai Hengwang.
When Jia Ziming sat down again, Bai Hengwang's tone was different from before. He said sincerely: "Mr. Jia, this time you help me get through the difficulties, you are also helping you get through the difficulties! Even if those guys don't Be sensible, you can¡¯t get involved with them, otherwise, disaster will come, and who can escape it?¡±
Jia Ziming frowned, "Is the attitude from above so tough?"
"Unexpectedly tough." Bai Hengwang nodded, "Do you know who was there when the emperor told me about this?"
"who?"
"Miao Yanmiao, the Yin of the Imperial Palace, is too high."
"he!?"
Before Jia Ziming showed horror, Bai Hengwang said: "I guess if I don't do it right this time, then Miao Yan will definitely come with the imperial edict to carry out a major cleansing of Yangzhou Salt Industry! His methods, Jia You should know too."
Jia Ziming really took a breath of air.
Miao Yan was famous all over the world for burning to death more than a hundred people, including the younger brother of the crown prince's favorite concubine.
They would even dare to kill the younger brother of the crown prince¡¯s favorite concubine, let alone anyone else.
Once he comes and the emperor is in urgent need of money, his cruel methods may be beyond imagination.
Jia Ziming worked hard all his life to make himself rich and full of children and grandchildren, but he didn't want it all to come to nothing in the blink of an eye.
He is already sixty-three years old this year. He will definitely not be able to bear the loss of everything as he approaches old age.
"Twelve million taels of silver are indeed difficult to come by in a short while." After thinking about it, Jia Ziming no longer had any reservations: "If it is divided into two or three times, there is no problem.
I will offer 3 million, Cai Xinfeng and Yu Chihong will each offer 2 million, Long Yi and Jiang Yuan will each offer 1.5 million, and the remaining salt merchants will offer 2 million. Mr. Bai, please show your cards according to this amount.
At the beginning, as long as they each put out three to five hundred thousand taels, when they all made the first payment, the second and third payments would become a matter of course. "
"good!"
Bai Hengwang smiled happily, "I knew you were still reliable, Mr. Jia. Don't worry, when we can talk about it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will definitely put in a few nice words for you in the memorial."
Our Holy Lord has always been kind and kind. If he hadn't encountered such a big difficulty, he would have been very gentle.
You have responded positively to his call this time. He will remember you in the future and you will be able to accumulate blessings for his descendants! "
Bai Hengwang's last words directly hit the x point in Jia Ziming's heart.
He is already rich enough.
If you can leave some affection for your descendants in front of the emperor, it¡¯s a good deal!
"Master Bai, do you think this will be effective?" Jia Ziming said tremblingly.
Bai Hengwang originally said it casually, but when he saw his appearance, he started to think wrongly.
"Well, it must be effective." Bai Hengwang said slowly, "But if you can donate something alone at this time, I can guarantee that the emperor will definitely reward you."
"I'lloffer one hundred thousand taels of silver. Master Bai, what do you think you can get?" Jia Ziming quickly reported the amount.
"One hundred thousand taels?" Bai Hengwang smiled, "You are the number one salt merchant in the world! Are you sure you are not humiliating His Majesty if you give me one hundred thousand taels?"
"How much should it be?" Jia Ziming asked.
Bai Hengwang said directly: "One million taels! As long as you can donate one million taels to this disaster relief, I guarantee that I can get you a personally nominated plaque from the emperor.
When the time comes, it will be hung at the door of your meeting hall. Who do you think won¡¯t give you?Without even looking at him, he sat down at the desk and started writing the document. After a while, he stamped it with his own seal and said, "Dongyue, take the document to the Inspector and ask them to fly pigeons to deliver it to Yangzhou. Send someone immediately to the salt merchant Cai Xinfeng¡¯s house to handle the case!¡±
"yes!"
Dai Weihua, another close aide next to him, took the documents and went out.
It is 600 miles from Yangzhou to Hangzhou. Even if it takes 800 miles to rush, it will not be as fast as a carrier pigeon.
A homing pigeon can basically fly 600 miles in less than two hours.
Jiangnan has learned from Guangdong. In recent years, there have been endless methods of using carrier pigeons to convey messages, even among the officials.
But in order to avoid problems along the way, officials generally use three homing pigeons and release them at different times, so that they can basically be guaranteed to be delivered to the other party.
Seeing the document being sent out, Gong Caibo became even more anxious: "Mr. Ling"
Liu Renhuai shook his hand at him, "Ziyun, you have been with me for more than ten years, don't you still understand my thoughts? As long as it is good for the emperor, the court, and the people of the world, I am willing to do it.
What does it mean to just offend someone? Offending those salt merchants is enough to make me worry? If they really don't know each other this time, shouldn't I be as brave as Miao Taisheng Guoyi? "
Gong Caibo took a breath of air.
"If Liu Renhuai went on a killing spree in Jiangnan, he would not only offend a few salt merchants, but also make the entire Jiangnan be in panic and panic, which would be very detrimental to his governance.
But Gong Caibo¡¯s mouth moved, but he still didn¡¯t say anything to persuade him.
He knew his benefactor¡¯s character, gentle on the outside, but extremely determined on the inside, and he would do whatever he decided to do without any regrets.
As his staff, all Gong Caibo can do at this time is to help him implement the plan better. This is Gong Caibo's way of existence.
Thinking of this, Gong Caibo bowed, "Mr. Ling, I'll go find the people below and ask them to spread the news By the way, let people know that there are still 12 million people in their Yanzheng Yamen. Two pieces of salt can be sold at any time."
"Go!"
Liu Renhuai smiled.
How else to say that literati have become despicable and have no bottom line?
Originally, the emperor meant that the salt quotation of 12 million taels of silver was digested internally by the salt merchants. Now that Gong Caibo has spoken out, he is obviously throwing out a big piece of fat for everyone to fight for.
??Although salt merchants are the richest people in the world, there are many people in this world who are desperate for their lives.
No matter how good the salt merchants are, how can they dare to do anything when they encounter a life-threatening fanatic?
Aren¡¯t you afraid that the house would catch on fire late at night and no one would be able to escape?
