Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 137 Arrangement
He Kun was stunned on the spot. He never thought that Jia Qiang would smash such a big pie on his head.

The reason why the eight major salt merchants are called big salt merchants is because the eight major salt merchants occupy the largest share of the salt allocated by the Salt Transport Envoy Yamen, and the remaining small and medium-sized salt merchants only get a superficial share.

But even the small amount of money they received made the He family quite wealthy.

Of course, He Kun also understood that Jia Qiang's handing over the Huang family's salt transportation industry to his hands would definitely not be without cost.

But no matter what the price is, no one will refuse the opportunity to become one of the eight major salt merchants.

He secretly looked at the expressions of the seven major salt merchants on the left and right, and found that none of the seven silent merchants expressed any objection.

"Okay, now that this matter has been settled, the disposal of the Huang family's property is over. From now on, everyone here will cooperate sincerely and work together for the great Jiangnan Salt Industry!" Jia Qiang said quietly as she swept away the major salt merchants. said.

The seven major salt merchants present are all smart people. Why can't they understand the meaning of Jia Qiang's words? The so-called sincere cooperation means that everyone should not compete with each other, especially the newly joined He family.

"Master Jia, please rest assured that our Ma family will definitely support the He family!" Shopkeeper Ma Da was the first to express his stance.

The Ma family was frightened by Jia Qiang's methods. The previous Ma Da salt merchant was assassinated.

"Let's go too!" The other big salt merchants didn't want to miss this opportunity.

He had not used the statue of the goddess for a long time. In order to keep his identity secret after arriving in Yangzhou, it was impossible to take out such a striking weapon.

He first examined the statue of the goddess carefully and found that there was no damage at all on the surface. Although the cannonball hit the statue of the goddess, it did not leave the slightest trace on the statue.

"Several big shopkeepers, it's not me who has refuted your reputation. I'm going to see Mr. Jia right now. Please forgive me!" He Kun said with a smile and clasped his fists at the big shopkeepers.

"The Huang family's salt business will be handled by you. Four of the sales will be made every year, and the rest will be handled as normal!" Jia Qiang said lightly.

"Let's go together. It's a good time to get to know Shopkeeper He Da. We must cooperate sincerely in the future!" Shopkeeper Wang Da followed.

This backer is even stronger than Jia Qiang, and coupled with the intimidation left by Jia Qiang in Yangzhou, the He family has taken off now.

If He Kun was a big salt merchant, he would never comply with such a request.

All this happened when Jia Qiang came to Lin Ruhai's side. Combined with Jia Qiang's strong strength, the assassination of the Mada Salt Merchant was most likely caused by this imperial envoy.

The shells fired by the cannon were definitely the strongest attack the goddess statue had ever encountered.

"Master, do you have any regulations for the Huang family's salt business?" He Kun asked carefully.

Now he can be 100% sure that this goddess statue cannot be destroyed.

"From now on, the person standing behind your He family will be the current Holy Emperor, and the money handed over will also be for the Holy Emperor!" Jia Qiang clasped her fists towards the north and explained.

"Shopkeeper He Da, are you looking for a place to have a drink?" Shopkeeper Ma Da smiled and invited He Kun, who was not affected by the situation.

The rest of the big salt merchants have strong forces in Yangzhou and even in the entire Daqian, but they are equally worried.

"Master Lin has such a disciple and beloved son-in-law, who dares to touch him!" Shopkeeper Wang shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

And his strength has been greatly improved compared to before coming to Yangzhou, and it is really different from the same.

The name Emperor Jingwen alone made him full of hope for future business.

A terrifying momentum rose from his body. This was a little application of his spirit. Suddenly, the seven big salt merchants felt as if they were being targeted by tigers, and their whole bodies could not help but stiffen.

"We will also support the He family!" When the other big salt merchants saw Shopkeeper Ma's statement, they were also afraid of being targeted by Jia Qiang, so they hurriedly said.

He Kun was really surprised. With his status, he didn't know that Emperor Jingwen had no power in his hands.

It was impossible for the other big shopkeepers to stop him, and they all smiled to show their understanding.

Jia Qiang cast a 'Qi-Watching Technique' on the statue of the goddess, and a dazzling golden light rose from the statue, and this golden light shot straight into the sky.

Jia Qiang returned to Lin Mansion. He went directly into his courtyard and asked Jia Jinjiang to guard the courtyard gate.

In these golden lights, you can faintly see the shadows of countless devout believers. They pray and beg, and their faith is condensed on the statue of the goddess.

He Kun quickly walked out of the room. After a few steps, he saw Jia Qiang walking slowly in front of him. He quickly came to Jia Qiang's side.

It wasn't until Jia Qiang's figure disappeared that the seven major salt merchants felt a lightness on their bodies.

"I will return to the capital soon. My teacher is still in Yangzhou. If anything happens to my teacher's family, I will look for the seven of you!" Jia Qiang stood up, and just when he was about to walk out of the room, he turned around and said quietly said.

He took out a pair of goddess statues in the yard. When he took out the goddess statues to fight, he discovered that there was something special about the goddess statues in his hands.

"The He family will not dare to disappoint the master's expectations!" He Kun bowed and promised.

At present, he only knows that the goddess statue cannot be destroyed. As a pair of heavy weapons, this ability makes the goddess statue the top heavy weapon.

He could see that the pair of goddess statues were extraordinary. Unfortunately, he was not an immortal and could not dig deeper into the functions of the pair of goddess statues.

In addition, he had a guess that the goddess statue was no longer a creature, so it was very likely that the goddess statue could hurt the immortal.

If you hand over 40% of the money you earn, no more than 20% of the money will actually go into He Kun's hands.

"Guys, let's talk first. I don't want to offend this person. If you want to cause anything, don't get me involved!" Shopkeeper Mada said, wiping the cold sweat on his head.

"Here we come!" Jia Qiang was not surprised by He Kun's arrival. He walked slowly just to wait for He Kun.

They all broke out in cold sweat. The feeling just now made them feel as if they were facing death.

But He Kun got this business by accident, and no matter how little he earned, it was countless times more than what he had earned before.

"Go to my teacher if you need anything after I leave!" Jia Qiang gave the last instruction, then turned and left.

You must know that the salt business seems to be able to make a lot of money, but in actual operation, just managing something requires a lot of investment, which accounts for a large proportion of this business.

"It's important to meet Mr. Jia. There are many opportunities for us to get together!" Shopkeeper Mada said quickly.

Like a lame Taoist, after exerting his ability, he can avoid harm from mortal objects.

If Jia Qiang hadn't suddenly replaced the 'Qingfeng Sword' in her hand with Shang Fang's sword, she still wouldn't have been able to hurt the lame Taoist.

Of course, with Jia Qiang's current strength, she has more ways to deal with immortals, but having one more way to deal with immortals is also a good thing.

His mind moved slightly, and he took back the pair of goddess statues into the equipment slot. He returned to the room, took out another book of secret techniques and started reading.

This was the first time he actually saw the martial arts books of Jianghu people. After looking at them for a while, he put away all the weapons books.

At least for a short time, he won't be able to use the classics on the use of weapons, because the Jianghu people's use of weapons is completely different from his.

When Jianghu people use weapons, they must use their skills to the extreme. When a sword is thrust out, several sword flowers must be shaken out to enhance the power of the sword.

For Jia Qiang, this technique is useless.

If there was any enemy approaching, even if he was holding a sword, he would just stab it out.

With his agility of over eighty years old, the speed of thrusting out a sword is so fast that not many enemies can react. If one sword fails, he will stab again. As long as he thrusts out continuously, no exquisite swordsmanship is required. Who in this world can do it? Invincible.

In fact, with his current strength, he is no longer afraid of mortals.

As long as he is not surrounded by Da Gan's army, bombarded by artillery, or encounters an immortal, he is almost invincible.

What Jia Qiang was most interested in was Qing Gong, but when he passed the Qing Gong classics, he also put away the Qing Gong classics.

The Qing Gong of the Jianghu people is indeed powerful, especially the Qinggong collected by the White Lotus Sect, but the problem is that the Qinggong requires the blessing of the inner Qi of the Jianghu people.

Jia Qiang just tried to use magic power to replace the inner energy, but found that it didn't work at all.

In other words, if he wants to learn Qing Gong, he must first learn the techniques of Jianghu people and cultivate his inner energy.

There is more advanced magic power than inner energy in his body, and he doesn't know if he can cultivate inner energy.

He no longer looked at these secret techniques, but directly took the most hidden copy of 'Maitreya Meditation Recumbent'.

He opened the 'Maitreya Zen Recumbent' and found that it was a technique to be practiced while sleeping.

It's just that this 'Maitreya Zen Sleeping' is very strange. You need to sleep in a weird posture and at the same time visualize the true body of 'Maitreya Buddha' in your mind.

The real body of Maitreya Buddha is on the first page of the book "Maitreya Buddha". When you look at it with your eyes, you have the feeling that "Maitreya Buddha" is alive.

'Maitreya Zen Lying' is not a technique for cultivating inner energy, or even a martial arts technique. It feels more like an immortal cultivation method to Jia Qiang.

It's just that the practice of 'Maitreya Zen Recumbent' does not require immortal energy, it only requires visualizing the 'Maitreya Buddha's true body'.

Jia Qiang is going to try this 'Maitreya Meditation' when she is resting at night to see what its effect is.

He is not worried about any problems with the 'Maitreya Meditation Recumbent'. Anyway, with the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' as a foundation, he can be cured even if he fails to practice and is injured.

After checking this harvest, he came to the desk, took out the folder and started writing.

With the achievement of driving the Huang family into dust, he had completed Emperor Jingwen's instructions and even exceeded the task.

So after submitting the letter, he planned to return to Beijing.

The most critical thing is that the imperial criminals captured this time and a large amount of wealth need to be taken to the capital.

He stayed in Jiangnan for more than a year for this reason, and he didn't want anything to happen during the final escort to the capital.

The people being escorted to the capital this time were Huang Quanyi, one of the eight major salt merchants, and Prince Fudo of the White Lotus Sect. Both of them had extremely strong backgrounds and were very likely to get into trouble on the way.

Halfway through writing the excerpt, he looked up and looked outside. Jia Jinguang stopped Lin Ruhai.

As his mind moved slightly, Jia Jingang received the order and moved away.

"Teacher, why are you here!" Jia Qiang stood up and said.

"Are you planning to leave Yangzhou?" Lin Ruhai came to sit next to him and asked, glancing at the half-written note.

"The emperor's mission to Jiangnan has been completed. I want to escort the imperial prisoners and property back to Beijing!" Jia Qiang nodded and replied. He thought for a while and then said: "Teacher, please don't worry, I have already threatened those big salt merchants." , if anyone dares to do anything to you after I leave, I will kill them all!"

"I'm quite relieved about this. Your reputation in Yangzhou is at its peak now!" Lin Ruhai said with a smile.

Jia Qiang's attack on Huang Mansion was witnessed by four hundred city guards.

One person blocked an artillery shell, and the accompanying guards killed thirty White Lotus cultists with two swords, and seriously injured King Fudo. These achievements made Jia Qiang almost deified.

"When you go back, Mrs. You and Yu'er will also go back to Beijing together. Yu'er has not met her grandmother yet. I feel relieved to have you protecting me when we return to Beijing!" Lin Ruhai continued.

"Teacher, aren't you staying alone in Yangzhou?" Jia Qiang couldn't help but ask.

"I won't be able to stay long. I've already written the details of the petition. When Jiangnan salt affairs are stabilized, I will be transferred back to Beijing. Your wife and Yu'er are just taking the first step!" Lin Ruhai explained with a relaxed look.

Over the years, it can be said that he has been struggling step by step in Yangzhou, but finally he has successfully rectified the salt affairs in Jiangnan. Although he borrowed Jia Qiang's help, the achievements have been made.

The most important thing is that Jia Qiang brought back so much property and left a continuous way for Emperor Jingwen to make money. Lin Ruhai, the salt patrol envoy, could just use this contribution to return to Beijing.

Emperor Jingwen also lacked capable ministers, and capable ministers like Lin Ruhai were what he urgently needed.

"Teacher, don't worry, my wife and sister Lin will not be put in danger with me here!" Jia Qiang promised.

"By the way, Jia Yucun will also go with you, and you will take care of him. I recommended him to Jia Zheng. He taught Yu'er meritorious service in the house. This time I can repay his favor!" Lin Ruhai said again.

"Teacher, don't be close friends with this person in Jia Yucun!" Jia Qiang couldn't hold back, for fear that Lin Ruhai would trust the wrong person, so he reminded her loudly.

"Yucun is a decent person, but since you said it, it makes sense. The favor has been returned and we can treat him as ordinary friends!" Lin Ruhai nodded and said.

If Jia Qiang was really an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy, even if he was his son-in-law, Lin Ruhai would not listen to Jia Qiang's advice.

But Jia Qiang was a first-grade viscount at the age of fifteen. In just one year in Jiangnan, she turned Jiangnan upside down. Lin Ruhai attached great importance to his views.

"Teacher, just pay attention, don't worry too much!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

The reason why Jia Yucun became Jia Yucun later was because the emperor wanted this knife to deal with the Jia family.

With his current status, no matter how much Jia Yucun jumped around, he would be easily crushed to death.

The two talked about some things about Yangzhou and Beijing. Lin Ruhai wanted to explain something to Jia Qiang, and also informed Jia Qiang about the relationship between the Lin family.
