Chapter 156: back to life

Jiang Xuening slapped him, turned around and left, but how could the beaten You Yue swallow her anger? She knew that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Jiang Xuening to hit her because of a man, so she wiped away her tears and began to cry. She cried and complained about her grievances, and she kept using words to smear Jiang Xuening and Zhang Zhe—

Even though she doesn't really know anything.

Unexpectedly, the people in the Shuxiang Inn staged a big show in just a few sips of tea, and they were still officials in the capital, so they couldn't help whispering to each other for a while.

Xiao Dingfei knew quite early on that the relationship between Jiang Xuening and Zhang Zhe was unusual.

After all, when they went from prison in the capital to Tongzhou, the two rode together.

But he didn't understand the relationship.

Sometimes I feel that these two people are connected with each other, and they both have intentions for each other; sometimes I feel that they restrain and tolerate each other, as if there is a layer between them, and neither dares to be free and easy.

Listening to You Yue's hypocritical crying in the hall, she was still talking about Jiang Xuening's affair with Zhang Zhe, if it wasn't for Jiang Xuening's watery seduction, how could Yao Xi, the majestic young lady of Yao Shangshu's mansion, divorce Zhang Zhe? An urge to tear this woman's stinky mouth open.

But after thinking about it, I endured it.

He laughed inexplicably, and took the time to lift the hem of his robe, and sat down at a table in the hall, only thinking about when Jiang Xuening would come back.

It's just that I didn't expect that after sitting for a full two minutes, I became a little impatient, and I didn't wait for Jiang Xuening to come back. Instead, the sound of reining in the horse landed outside the door of Shuxiang Inn.

The man on the horse, before he even entered the inn, came in a hoarse voice that was thirsty and irritated because of the days of running around.

Exhaustion filled with ecstasy.

He actually shouted: "News from the Ren's Saltworks! The best news for Shangshang Daji—"

There was still a slightly red and swollen slap mark on You Yue's face, and she was dipping a handkerchief in water to apply it, thinking viciously in her heart that Jiang Xuening must look good when she gets power in the future, but on the other hand, she was also anxious about the news about the Ren's Salt Works Not yet.

At this moment, she heard a voice outside, and she stood up suddenly.

It was the first one who couldn't hold back and asked, "What good news?"

For a while, almost everyone in the Shuxiang Inn rushed up, and the voices of inquiries kept coming and going, and the next moment, You Yue's voice was covered, but it didn't attract too many people's attention.

That man has long been dusty.

A cotton-padded jacket was covered in dust, his face was black and yellow, his hair was disheveled, his lips were already dry and chapped, but his eyes were piercing and shining brightly, hiding the excitement that no one could hold back, and he shouted loudly : "Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet, listen to me first! Our patriarch, Mr. Ren, has worked together with his wife to solve the current crisis that the saltworks is facing! The rebuilding of the saltworks is only a matter of a month."

Everyone was extremely surprised: "There is such a skill?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and handed him a bowl of water.

The man quickly thanked him and took it over, poured a big bowl first, and then told everyone the latest situation concisely: "After the accident in the salt field, many people were injured, even the government was involved in this matter, many long-term workers The family also came to the saltworks to ask for an explanation..."

At that time, it was really "stretched".

There was a fire in the saltworks, and it was caused by someone sent by You Fangyin's mother's family. After all, it still aroused some public anger. Some young and strong long-term workers rely on their bodies to support their families, but they are more or less injured in a fire. The shortest is half a month, and the longest is half a year. The host will ask for it.

Both Ren Weizhi and You Fangyin are kind-hearted.

Almost on the day of the accident, many doctors were invited to see it, and they compensated and appeased with the little money left.

This was a great good deed, a great good deed, and the long-term workers had no objections.

But in the world, there are always more troubles, and less charcoal in the snow.

As soon as the endgame of the saltworks on this side has not been arranged, the owners and managers of other saltworks from the other side came to find them. First, they pretended to express their sympathy for Ren's saltworks, and even gave some small gifts. Ren Weizhi and You Fangyin thought they had come here with good intentions, but when the conversation changed, they salivated and begged them for the method of making the "Zhuotsujing", saying that the Ren's saltworks had collapsed anyway, since Holding such a good thing in your hand, it is better to teach others, and it is useless to keep it in their hands.

Zhuo Tsutsui's technology is an important reason for Ren Weizhi to be able to re-support the Ren's Salt Works. How can he give it away at such a critical moment?

He barely turned his face and asked someone to see him off.

I thought that if this group of people failed once, they would just give up. After all, people have a face and skin, and they shouldn't be forced to push each other. Unexpectedly, this part of the saltworks in the Sichuan area had long seen that Ren Weizhi was not pleasing to the eye, and made up his mind to take advantage of the fire to loot. If Zhuo Tsutsui's skills were not successful, he secretly united with the salt merchants who bought it, and even gathered a gang of gangsters to warn all the long-term workers who worked, so that people would not dare to work for Ren's Salt Works.

In this way, Ren's Saltworks was isolated.

At this time, how could Ren Weizhi and You Fangyin fail to see it? These people will never give up easily.

Although everyone had heard the good news from this man before, that the reconstruction of the Ren's Saltworks had started, they still couldn't help feeling tense when they heard this.

Someone yelled: "This is too **** shameless!"

Someone laughed: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. It is nothing unusual! From ancient times to the present, is it still rare?"

Someone anxiously asked: "What happened later? How did this work out?"

Xiao Er brought out two plates of side dishes that had just been made in the kitchen and a few steamed buns, and put them on the table.

The man came all the way from Sichuan, he was either hurrying or sleeping on the road, he ate little, and he was dizzy before he spoke a few words. Seeing Xiao Erduan's things coming up, he quickly thanked him.

He ate two mouthfuls of steamed buns first, then poured down another mouthful of hot soup before continuing.

It can be said that by this time, the Ren's Salt Field was at the end of its rope, and there were pressures everywhere.

Ren Weizhi almost wanted to give up.

But their lady from the capital, who had just married in the middle of Shu, looked gentle and gentle, but when faced with this matter, she was extremely resolute and refused to give in half a step. I don't know what trick she used to invite the magistrate to the saltworks, saying that she would invite him to be a witness. Then, invitations were widely distributed, inviting the owners of salt fields in central Shu, especially Ziliujing, who mainly exploit well salt, to the banquet.

Although the well salt produced in Zigong in the middle of Shu is not comparable to the sea salt produced in the coast in terms of quantity, there are more than a hundred large and small salt farms.

Once the banquet is set up, good wine and good food are served.

The magistrate sat in the middle, and the rest of the saltworks owners sat beside him.

After drinking for three rounds, no one spoke first.

Until the biggest salt merchant in the room asked very directly: "Boss Ren said that he would invite us to discuss and share the matter of Zhuo Tsutsui. Now that we have eaten the food and drunk the wine, why not get straight to the point and talk about the business." "

Ren Wei and You Fangyin looked at each other before getting up.

All the bystanders looked at him and his wife, but they asked the housekeeper to bring in a thick stack of rice paper that had already been written and stamped, and it was the owner of the salt farm present who handed out a piece of rice paper.

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

When he looked down at what was written on the paper, he frowned even more, looked at each other in blank dismay, and even asked with a sneer, "What does Boss Ren mean?!"

Now even Xiao Dingfei became curious: "What was written on that paper?"

The man stuffed another dish with chopsticks into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, grinning a little rustic.

Everyone surrounded him, and they were all anxious—

Obviously, it was what was written on this paper that turned things around!

It's actually not that complicated.

Simple even.

It is nothing more than two points. First, Ren’s Salt Farm is willing to share Zhuo Tsutsui’s manufacturing skills with others; second, the sharing is conditional. Anyone who uses Zhuo Tsutsui’s salt farm must use half of its profits as dividends within the next five years. Pay to Ren's Saltworks; thirdly, anyone who can accept the above two items can sign a contract on the spot, and the magistrate will testify, and it will take effect immediately.

It didn’t take long for the owners of the salt farms present to read all of them. Although half of them are not many, there are hundreds of people present!

Absurd and whimsical!

Almost at the same time after reading it, someone wanted to throw away the contract, but when they turned their heads and looked at the expressions of the people around them, after thinking about it, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

The owners of the big salt farms are stingy about their own profits, holding huge wealth, and occupying the newly opened salt wells with sufficient brine. But most of the present are owners of small salt farms. Their own operations are already struggling, and the market has been squeezed out by large salt farms. Their annual income is very little, but they can barely meet their income and expenditure. Most of the salt wells they occupy have been exhausted.

The so-called "exploitation of well salt" does not mean that the brine well does not produce brine, but that the existing mining method cannot extract the brine deeper in the formation, so it has become an "abandoned well".

However, the "Zhuotsujing" researched by Ren Weizhi can penetrate deep into the earth!

The original abandoned well can also produce brine again, just like the Ren's Saltworks he owns, how can he not make those small saltworks that have reached the end of the road jealous and moved? It's only half of the profit, but it can replace the abandoned well with a new one, turning nothing into something!

You Yue's eyes sparkled when he heard it.

Xiao Dingfei was even more taken aback, he didn't expect that there was such a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.

Most of the inns are merchants, how can they fail to recognize the benefits?

Immediately, someone praised: "It's really a way of saving lives from a desperate situation! Those big salt farm owners may not be willing to give half of the profits, but for small salt farm owners, it is a cost-free business. Give it to the Ren’s Salt Farm again, if you don’t sign it, you don’t sign it! In this way, the owners of the big salt farm will inevitably fall into a passive position. If Zhuo Tsutsui’s method of collecting brine from the small mouth is pushed out, the abandoned salt farm will be able to flourish again, and the price will definitely be lower , the production of salt is enough to occupy the market of the big saltworks and pose a threat to them! If they sign the contract, Boss Ren will not only be able to successfully survive the crisis, but also bring a steady stream of dividends to the Ren's Saltworks, which is equivalent to the entire Sichuan. He will share 50% of the salt farm's profits for the next five years! If the owners of the big salt farms don't sign, they will be besieged by the small salt farms in the future, and it's not uncommon to fall under the siege. The situation of winning without losing is absolutely, absolutely !"

When the man heard him praise his master, he laughed happily, hiccupped and said, "This is not over yet! Our lady looked at them with a bad face, so she added a sentence beside me, saying that the village has no In this store, only half of the profit is paid for the signing on the spot, but you have to wait until three months later to sign the contract, and you will get 10% of the profit. Oh, you didn't see that scene, there were six or seventy days in the evening People signed it. Boss Ren simply put aside the matter of our saltworks, and started to supervise the construction of Zhuotong wells in major saltworks, and now there is a lot of excitement in central Sichuan!"

Everyone was full of praise, saying that the boss Ren and his wife are both powerful people.

Who would have thought that Ren's Saltworks would be revitalized abruptly?

Originally, I thought that the salt farm was hopeless, and the price of silver stocks had already fallen to the bottom, but if this is the case, I'm afraid it will skyrocket tomorrow!

At that moment, someone's face suddenly became strange, and he whispered: "Then, the 10,000 silver shares that Boss Lu sold a few days ago, isn't it..."

"It's a loss, it's a big loss!"

"I threw out four hundred coins a share. Who would have thought that the good news would be spread today..."

Xiao Dingfei didn't know anything about the business world, but he still heard the name "Lu Xian" often. When he heard people say that this person had lost a lot this time, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

But there was a person next to him who really laughed out loud.

You Yue's descriptions these days have been a lot haggard, but at this moment, her face is radiant, and the joy in her heart has already shown on the outside, and she laughed loudly, saying "yes" three times: "I knew it, I I knew it would definitely rise! Hahaha, hahahaha..."

Everyone was terrified.

However, she couldn't care less about other people's gazes. Thinking of the pressure she had endured when she confronted her parents these days and refused to sell the silver stocks no matter what, she felt a kind of revenge-like joy in her whole body, and she couldn't wait to go I want to go back to the mansion, take out the certificates of my bank shares, and show her short-sighted parents, brothers and sisters to see—

Who is the smartest and most correct one!

This time, Ren's Salt Farm not only saved the situation, but even fought a beautiful turnaround!

If the plan goes well, it will definitely become the number one salt farm in central Sichuan!

I can't imagine that the price of the silver shares of Ren's Saltworks in the past could soar to a high price of 1,500 to 600 yuan. Now that the news comes back, how many people want to buy silver shares, and how many times will the price of silver shares be doubled?

That's all white money!

The carriage was originally outside the inn, You Yue scolded the coachman directly, and rushed into the uncle's mansion excitedly.

When passing the veranda, he saw the young man he saw when he left the mansion again.

Maybe someone who came to visit his father somewhere?

When she left the house, she was thinking about the silver stocks, and when she returned home, she was full of ecstasy and wanted to show off to her family, so the two times she saw this person, she didn't ask a few more questions like usual, but ran straight to the person she was with. The courtyard where my sister lives.

But she didn't expect that just after entering the Moon Cave Gate, she saw uncles and wives sitting in her room, frowning as if they were talking.

You Yue thought in her heart that they were waiting for her here.

At the moment when her arrogance returned to her body, she gave a somewhat arrogant laugh and said loudly: "I told you about it, the silver stock of Ren's Salt Works—"

When her words came out, a servant came out of her room with a hammer and bumped into her who came in from the outside. She was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and hurried away, as if she had just done something shameful like.

An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in You Yue's heart.

Her voice stopped abruptly, she walked in from the outside, and immediately saw the situation inside the house—

Before leaving, the box she used to lock the certificates and deeds of silver shares was placed on the table in the middle.

But the originally solid brass lock was knocked crooked by something!

The box was opened wide outwards, and there was nothing inside!

At that moment, You Yue's whole body seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt in the sunny sky. She stopped for a moment, rushed over to pick up the box, and looked through it for a while but couldn't find the certificates of her several silver shares: "Silver Shares, certificates, contracts! Where are my things? Where did my things go? What did you all do?!!"

All reason was gone, and her eyes were red.

Uncle Qingyuan knew that she was going to have a nervous breakdown when she came back. These days, she was already tired of her ignorant appearance, so he snorted coldly: "It's rare that Xiao's side sent someone to deliver things to us today. Well, I don't think you are going to choose some Linzi princess. If you can become the prince concubine of the Duke's mansion, it is not bad. The family is very good. I happened to talk about the Ren's saltworks during the chat, so it must not be the prince's subordinate Apart from anything else, I took out the bank notes, and was willing to spend three hundred and thirty cents a share to buy your Laoshizi's silver shares! Your mother and I made the decision and sold it for you! I see you ah…"

"People from the Xiao family? Three hundred and thirty wen, three hundred and thirty wen!" You Yue's heart was bleeding, she couldn't believe what she heard, her eyes turned red almost immediately, she was actually crazy General picked up the empty box and hit his parents, "Who told you to sell it? Why do you dispose of my things?! Do you know, do you know how much the stock price of Ren's Saltworks is worth? Where's the certificate? Where's the contract?! I don't care if he is Xiao Shi or not, you all want it back!!"

Both Uncle Qingyuan and Mrs. Uncle were stunned.

There was still a page of paper and two thin banknotes on the corner of the table.

When You Yue went crazy, she saw it, and immediately snatched it in her hand as if grabbing a life-saving straw. When she opened it, she saw that the contract was clearly written in black and white, and the price was 1,320 taels. Bought all of her four thousand silver shares.

And the place where the inscription is signed is impressively—

Xiao Dingfeiyin!

Uncle Qingyuan and Mrs. Uncle had no idea what was going on outside, they could only vaguely hear that the salt farm had come back to life, and they kept asking.

You Yue's mind was blank.

She held the contract, trembled, and then trembled again, and all the details of the past few days came to mind, and they all came together as a line: "It's not Xiao Dingfei, it's not Xiao Dingfei! It's her, she is plotting against me! is her-"

The sound came out of the throat, as if it contained blood, he gritted his teeth, hating the poison!

Holding the page, she finally couldn't bear the excitement of great joy turning into great sorrow, hope ignited and then instantly extinguished, her eyes darkened, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Where did the people around you expect this situation?

Unable to help for a while, she saw her head knocked on the threshold, she passed out and lost consciousness, but her fingers were still holding on to the paper contract.

Luckily, Liu Yang did not disgrace his fate, and completed all the tasks Jiang Xuening had given him. He came out of the uncle's mansion in Qingyuan without any danger. He happened to bump into Xiao Dingfei on the way, so he quickly took out a seal, contract, and certificate from his bosom, and handed them to him.

Xiao Dingfei only knew that she was using his name to do things, but he didn't know what it was.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized, touched his chin and laughed: "So, I really don't know what kind of hatred, what kind of resentment. Well, this woman can't be provoked, can't be provoked!"

He waved his hand and told Liu Yang to go first, and then went to find Jiang Xuening.

It's just that I don't know where he is right now.

After coming out of the Shuxiang Inn, he followed the direction she was going to look for, but he didn't see anyone all the way, until he walked to a street pavilion sheltered from the rain, and finally saw a figure sitting quietly.

There were few pedestrians outside, Jiang Xuening was sitting alone on the steps under the pavilion, her eyes were sluggishly looking ahead, as if she was watching, but Xiao Dingfei felt that she was not looking at anything.

The expression on his face seemed to be in a big dream.

He walked over and called out, and she just raised her head as if waking up from a dream, looked at him, she was no different from usual, and only asked: "Have you got it?"

Xiao Dingfei handed over those things to her, but his eyes were a little more scrutinizing, he felt that her appearance just now was absolutely unusual, and thought that she was chasing Zhang Zhe out, he couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, a little worried.

He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Xuening blinked, just thinking, why did she forget to ask Zhang Zhe who that girl was? But the words have already been explained clearly, and if she asks more questions, it seems that she can't let go and is stalking.

"I'm fine."

She answered Xiao Dingfei like this, and buried her head to count those contracts and certificates.

Standing in front of her, Xiao Dingfei could clearly see tears falling drop after drop, which wet the contracts, but her voice remained calm: "Wait for the stock price to rise in two days, then sell it again. The money is not bad."

"What did you say?!"

In Xie Wei's mansion, Lu Xian splashed hot tea on his leg with a shaking hand, causing him to jump up immediately, even his voice became distorted, but he only grabbed the little boy in front of him, Ask in disbelief.

"Ren's Saltworks brought back to life?!"

When the boy heard the news, he knew that his shopkeeper's stock would blow up. After all, he sold 10,000 shares at a low price not long ago, but the price rose back within two days. It was as exciting as jumping off a cliff!

Even though Lu Xian is an old fox who has been in the market for a long time, this moment is still unacceptable.

He sat down dejectedly, almost dumbfounded: "How is it possible, how is it possible..."

That's 10,000 shares!

Ten thousand shares!

Lu Xian felt that even cutting himself off would not hurt so much. He hugged his head and walked up and down in the Qinqin hall: "Where is such a coincidence in the world? Someone must be planning behind it! Impossible What a coincidence! Xie Ju’an, Xie Ju’an! This is a lot of money! You quickly send someone, just a sword book, no, a knife and a piano are also fine! Help me look deeper, I must have a **** look, which turtle **** Xiongxin Leopard is ashamed of his grandma and even dares to swallow my money! Check, I want to check!!"

Xie Wei had already found a suitable piano board from the Youhuang Pavilion, and started to play the piano again. Hearing Lu Xian's furious voice at this moment, he only folded the snow-white sleeve that had slipped off and put it back on his arm. Without the slightest smoke and fire, he said: "Have you heard about Jianshu? Help Lu Zhaoyin check it out."

Sword Book: "..."

He still remembers his husband saying "Lv Zhaoyin knows a lot about business matters, I need you to intervene" when he learned that the second girl Ning was moving the bank shares not long ago, and now he looked up at Xie Wei's indifferent face , and then looked at Lu Xian who was almost gnashing his steel teeth and was so angry that he was so angry that he silently ranked this Boss Lu one place behind.

Xie Wei didn't listen to his answer, turned his eyes to look at him, and said lightly: "Check, you know?"

Cold sweat broke out on Jianshu's forehead in an instant, and he knew it, bowed and said: "Yes, this subordinate will go and investigate."

As long as I find one more bird, I will lose!
