Seeing as you are so sincere, forget it. Today is different from the past, so I don't bother to argue with you.
"Third uncle, we are all from our own family, so we won't talk about the two families." Liu Mo said, "In this way, I will take half of the four hundred thousand taels. You can take back the remaining half."
In exchange, I will give you all the salt production sites in Dinghai County for five years. Within these five years, you will sell all the new salt produced in Dinghai County yourself. However, I will not give you the new method of making salt, but I will arrange for someone to make salt for you.
Third uncle, I wonder what you think? "
"What about me?" Lin Yu interrupted.
Liu Mo kept smiling and said: "Uncle, come one by one, don't be in a hurry!"
Lin Xian touched his nose and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he asked: "What about the logistics?"
"Third uncle, you can handle it on your own, but don't worry, I will deal with the official gangsters!"
Lin Xian rolled his eyes, "Hahaha, niece and son-in-law, my third uncle would like to thank you!"
"Uncle, it's your turn." Liu Mo turned his head, "Same as the third uncle, I will charge you two hundred thousand taels of silver and give it to you in Daining County for the same period of five years. How about it?"
"That's great!" Lin Yu smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Liu Mo nodded with satisfaction, "Uncle, third uncle. Let's start with our ugly talk. Yan Daozi is a serious matter, and many pairs of eyes are staring at our Lin family. If anything goes wrong, the whole family will be executed!"
You two must not seek a temporary advantage, sell illicit salt, pass off inferior goods as good ones, or maliciously hoard goods to raise prices. If I find you two doing these things, don't blame your niece-in-law for being unkind. "
"It's natural. My uncle will never cause trouble to your niece-in-law no matter what!" the two of them vowed.
After the explanation was completed, Liu Mo handed over the tokens he had prepared to represent the official salt merchants to them.
"Where is my father-in-law? Why didn't you come to Rongcheng?"
"The second brother received a letter from Shiqi a few days ago and is heading to the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Having just circled Daining County and Dinghai County, Lin Yuan couldn't wait to circle other counties.
Not bad, not bad, very positive!
It is often said on earth that business should not be done for the sake of family, but for family purposes. This is pure nonsense.
Instead of using my close relatives, I want to find some high-end talents I don’t know at all? Make a fortune and run away?
As long as Lin Yuan is not an imbecile, he can be cultivated slowly. Why? It’s stable and definitely works hard enough!
The business was concluded happily, and the 400,000 taels were deposited into Liu Mo's private treasury without any surprise.
Is this considered corruption? of course not.
The goal of the Daxia court was to promote new salt and control salt roads.
Liu Mo is now the censor of the Salt Transportation Department. If he stamps his seal on the three brothers of the Lin family, he can be promoted to become an official salt merchant. The salt produced and sold will also be official salt.
When the people are rich, the country will be strong, and the people will no longer suffer from illicit wealth. Only when they have money can they become rich.
To put it ten thousand steps back, even if Liu Mo is really greedy, as long as he can achieve results, the Emperor of Daxia will turn a blind eye.
Don’t be afraid of corrupt officials, just be afraid of being corrupt and not doing anything!
After sending away the Lin Yu brothers, Liu Mo began his next plan.
First of all, the new salt production in the three counties would definitely not be enough to supply the entire Great Xia. Therefore, he immediately wrote down the auction information and publicly auctioned the operating rights of the salt factory.
The low price starts from 100,000 taels of silver, with no upper limit, and lasts for three years.
The salt making factory opens blind boxes throughout the entire process, whichever one is opened counts! (Mainly because I’m not sure where Lin Yuan’s land will be enclosed)
Second, using the power given by the court, the Salt Transportation Department of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province was set up in Rongcheng, and all official affairs related to salt transportation were reported to Rongcheng for processing. Doing so will, firstly, establish authority, and secondly, it will also boost the local economy of Rongcheng (mainly food, drink and accommodation, everyone knows it)
Third, Chen Zhiyuan's remaining mansion was forcibly expropriated and renovated as a place to entertain various prefectures and counties who came to Rongcheng for official business.
Fourth, and the biggest action, all official salt merchants must register in Rongcheng within one month, pay a deposit, and exchange for a new token.
Violators will be disqualified as official salt merchants, and the salt they sell will be regarded as private salt. It was a mess before, so let’s get some cool stuff and reinvent it!
As for the members of the Salt Gang, Liu Mo ordered them to disband where they were.
Future livelihood? Very simple. According to the outsourcing system of the earth, a "firm" is established to accept all, and then the government signs an outsourcing agreement with the "firm". The person is not part of the imperial establishment, but is controlled by the imperial court.
Salaries are reported to the Ministry of Accounts by the Salt and Transportation Department, and funds are allocated for disbursement.
Outsourcing company owner? Hehe, that must be the person designated by Liu Mo!
Before you know it, time flies by and it’s almost the Ghost Festival.
Looking back, I was still single at this time last year. It was during the Mid-Autumn Festival that I met Lin Shiqi for the first time, went on a date, and used this body to drive a car to fight landlords for the first time.
I had a baby this year, four wives, and a fiancée. God is still not kind to me!
But it is a pity that this time, Liu Mo did not have time to return to Jianglin to spend the festival with the old lady.
The implementation of the new salt project cannot be delayed because official duties are too busy.
In addition to Liu Mo, Lin Yuan was encircling the territory outside.
Lin Xian and Lin Yu were busy opening factories.
Lin Shiqi is more than four months pregnant, which is the most important month, and she is not allowed to travel and travel.
This year, most of the people accompanying the old lady are Lin Yi and Lin Zhe.
From now on, Rongcheng will be my home. Let’s make arrangements for the first Mid-Autumn Festival at my home.
Lin Shiqi took the initiative to take on all the preparations for the festival, including the male lead and the female lead.
In addition to the official duties of the Salt Transportation Company, Liu Mo also had a particularly troublesome matter to deal with.
What's the matter? A sinful debt caused by pretending to be thirteen.
Didn't Liu Mo memorize a Qingping tune in Jiang Lin last year to seduce girls? He even composed a song called "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", pretending to be thirteen, and won the first place in one fell swoop!
So here’s the question, there is also a poetry club in Rongcheng. What would happen if there were poems? If Liu Mo just memorizes one more song, won't it be over?
Today is different from the past!
At this time last year, Liu Mo was a scholar from a poor family that no one knew about, but this year he is a Superstar who is famous all over the country. With the blessing of the leader, the Censor of the Salt Transport Department and other auras, he has lost his qualifications as a "contestant" and has become a popular choice among the judges.
He Ruda has such a strong relationship with him, so why should he serve as a judge?
decline? I don’t give He Ru a lot of face.
Judge...I judge your sister.
This really proves the saying, if you come out to fool around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
I have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Shiqi invited Su Xiaowan to celebrate the festival together. The unmarried concubine was also part of the same family.
Liu Mo had dinner with his beautiful daughters-in-law, and then left the house, leaving Lin Shiqi to admire the moon and chat with others.
Hey, it’s not that I don’t want to spend time with my family, it’s that there are thousands of people urging me to pretend to be thirteen!
With a long sigh, he got on the carriage and headed to the Rongcheng Poetry Club, pretending to be thirteen!
