One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Five: Nansheng, the Autumn of Troubled Times (11)

The net profit of Dow's salt business in the previous year was worth two years of military expenditure.

If the salt profits of other gentry alliances are included in the same period, it is equivalent to five years of military expenditure!

They occupy the salt business for a whole year, which is enough for Jiang Pengji to train troops for four or five years!

"It's no wonder that Dow and others are unwilling to let go of their mouths. Such profits are indeed exciting."

Xie Ze sighed softly, and sent someone to seal all the account books and the looted money and assets, and transport none of them to Maruzhou.

The lord's private treasury is really poor in front of Dow!

Xie didn't intentionally humiliate the captured prisoners, but he didn't treat them preferentially either. These people had suffered a lot along the way.

Before they fell from the horse, they were all nobles with five fingers who did not touch the spring water. A meal would cost an ordinary family a year's worth of food. Now they have to travel on foot, with only simple straw sandals or wooden clogs under their feet.

Mrs. Han didn't suffer much. For Han Yu's sake, she could ride in a carriage and eat three meals a day, two vegetarian and one meat.

Others are miserable. They only eat two meals a day, and they eat coarse steamed buns and hard pancakes. On the first day, they wear out a pair of straw sandals. On the second day, the soles of their feet are covered with dense blisters. Cracking... Mrs. Han couldn't bear her parents' suffering, so she left the food to the elders in private. Unexpectedly, they didn't appreciate it, and instead overturned the food table, splashing soup all over her...

Mrs. Han became more and more cold-hearted, and hardened her heart to ignore them anymore.

On the fifth day, the second elder took the initiative to find her, hoping that she could take care of a few young nephews.

Father Tao and Mother Tao still hated Mrs. Han in their hearts, but there was a bit of sadness on their faces, which moved Mrs. Han's heart.

"Your father and I have an old bone. If we die, we will die, but the children are still young, how can we bear this pain." Madam Tao wiped her tears, "The Tao will rely on them to revitalize in the future. There can be no losses. You were wronged by doing ridiculous things in a fit of rage earlier because of your mother’s bad intentions, but how can the whole family have overnight feuds? Your nephews must not lose anything!”

Mrs. Han wanted to refuse, but in the end she couldn't hold back the elders, so she secretly hid her nephews in the carriage.

When Xie Ze heard about this, he simply turned a blind eye and sent someone to increase Mrs. Han's diet by a few percent.

The Tao family has many big business adults,

Mrs. Han has three nephews and four nieces.

However, Mother Tao only let her three grandchildren ride in the carriage, leaving none of the granddaughters who had a fever and a cold.

Xie Ze was soft-hearted and couldn't stand it any longer, so he simply sent someone to pack up two carriages to accommodate children under the age of seven.

Before the team arrived in Xiangyang County, Maruzhou, the news that Jiang Pengji copied the property of the noble family flew everywhere like wings.

The relationship between Jiang Pengji and the gentry was not harmonious, and when this incident broke out, the two were even more tense.

Under the instigation of these conscientious people, the reputation of Jiang Pengji's tyranny and greed slowly spread among the people. For her own selfish desires, she fabricated false charges and confiscated other people's property. She copied several Dow companies today, and if she is short of money tomorrow, will she run to steal other people's property? Some people deliberately made up ballads to ridicule, even the false news spread by Dow was used by them to attack Jiang Pengji.

Encountered with such inferior methods, Wei Ci could only fight back slightly to show respect.

Make up ballads?

Isn't it ashamed to use this old-fashioned method of public opinion?

It's ridiculous to be generous!

Wei Ci was so inspired that he dug out brand new rice paper and worked hard all night to write a new book.

At the same time, he also sent a storyteller under the name of the government to refute the rumors and popularize the charges against Dow and others.

Under Wei Ci's management, his public opinion team has begun to take shape, and the navy's brainwashing skills are increasing day by day.

Whether it is the efficiency of publicity, the scope of diffusion or the audience, the dark sunspots in the dark are far inferior to Wei Ci.

"As expected of the head coach of the Eight Million Navy, Zixiao's public opinion and fighting power is really a man!"

Before those dirty and smelly rumors reached Jiang Pengji's ears, the ignited flames were extinguished by Wei Ci's water army.

[Old Driver Lianmeng]: You can't afford to be offended, Zixiao, a fan, has too much fighting power.

[Weilong Latiao]: The kind beauty is really loyal to the anchor!

[Blue drawer]: Boyfriends from other people's homes never let the baby down, the more they look at it, the more envious and jealous they are!

[I met you at the age of 21]: If the anchor makes a debut, it feels like a kind and beautiful person can tear apart all the traffic fans in the entertainment industry.

[Hanyan Ningmeng]: Well, three books in half a year, the author of Baby Chasing is half as hardworking as a kind and beautiful person, and can wake up with a smile when dreaming.

Jiang Pengji was very happy watching the barrage in the live broadcast room.

She just likes the way others praise Wei Ci to the sky.

Who said that if you are strong, you can be considered a man, and Zixiao is not bad, just leave the rest to her.

As time passed, Xie Ze safely escorted the criminal back to Xiangyang County.

Although Xu Ke made thorough preparations and emptied several warehouses, he still couldn't let go of the confiscated property.

"The greed of Dow and others is really unprecedented."

Such wealth, not to mention Dongqing, I am afraid that even the five countries in the world will not be able to find a second company that can compete with it!

Jiang Pengji flipped through the account books, her expression became more gloomy the more she looked.

Dow and the others are more greedy than she imagined!

Salt is an indispensable necessity in people's daily life, and it is consumed very quickly.

Dow and other gentry monopolized the salt, raising the price at will, and the quality of the salt was not guaranteed. It was often mixed with sand or other things, and a series of poisoning incidents occurred in some places. However, the human rights situation of Dow and others is overwhelming, and the common people have nowhere to appeal for grievances.

Jiang Pengji said, "Xiaoyu, you have worked hard these few days."

Xu Ke is the big housekeeper, and these things are all his job.

Xu Ke responded face to face, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

When he went back, he wanted his wife, Xunmei, to prepare the bedding and mats, and prepare for overtime work. He might not be able to go back in the next few days.

Xie did a good job of handing over the prisoners, and turned his head to Han Yu's mansion.

Since the reconciliation, Han Yu spent less and less time at home, and spent most of his time running around outside.

Even when he returned home, he mostly stayed in his yard, and occasionally went to the two concubines' room to sit.

Xie Ze came to visit this time, and without any accidents, he ran into Han Run who had just finished school.

"Uncle Xie has something to do with my father?"

After experiencing the shock of his mother, Han Run looked a lot more stable, and there was a bit of determination between his brows that shouldn't be there at this age.

Xie said in embarrassment, "Yes, there is, but...it's a bit embarrassing."

Han Rundao, "My father will be back in seven days at the latest. If you have something important, you might as well tell your nephew, and your nephew will convey it to you?"

Xie Ze sighed and said, "This matter has something to do with Xiao Langjun's mother."

Han Run paused, almost losing his composure.

"What happened to mother?"

Han Run devoted himself to studying, and there were not many outside sources of news. He didn't know that something happened to his grandfather's family.
