Hou Xuanyan arrived in person, and from this point of view, he had given enough face to the salt merchants.

Xiao Luoyuan consciously gave up his master's seat, Hou Xuanyan took the initiative to step forward and said, "Everyone, I know what you are doing today, and I also know that you have more or less complaints about me. When Sichuan and Sichuan were in trouble, I promised everyone to transport grain for salt. Until now, you have made a lot of money.

But salt drying and selling salt is a problem that concerns people's livelihood. It is not a whim that I plan to take it back to the court, nor does it mean to seize your financial resources. Taking the foundation of people's livelihood back to the court is the general trend in the future. The salt industry is just a coincidence. It is the first batch, definitely not the last batch. I will open the skylight to speak with you. I am imperative to collect salt. All your efforts are in vain. My father-in-law Gu's family has the most salt in his hands, and he has decided to take it out to support the court. Father-in-law, right?"

Gu Shouye frowned and nodded heavily, feeling bitter.

There were a wave of lamentations coming from the low, and Hou Xuanyan continued, "But you are all considered meritorious officials, and I will not be too cold-hearted. This way, the court does not expect to make money in the salt industry. The advance income will be distributed to everyone according to the length of your salt. My personal suggestion is three years. What do you think?"

Since this is the case, everyone naturally dare not object. The prince is quite fair, and at least he will condescend to reason with him. If he meets a domineering person, he will have no choice but to steal them directly. It is also great to have this opportunity to cling to the prince. After all, it will be a good idea to do other business in the future.

Seeing that his purpose was achieved, Hou Xuanyan greeted everyone for a while, and then stood up and left. Gu Shouye chose to stay in Heyuan and raised his glasses with his brothers and brothers to relieve their sorrows.

After returning to the mansion, Hou Xuanyan immediately began to arrange the construction of the first state-owned enterprise, which was a major event that was pioneering the world, but to his surprise, he actually arranged it as he went with the flow.

In the official society of China, it is easy for the court to interfere in the business world. There was no precedent in the past, but they just disdained to do it.

The problem of salt collection this time seems to be a lot of difficulties, but in fact it is smooth sailing.

Hou Xuanyan crossed his legs and drank tea comfortably, while pointing out: "The headquarters of this Salt Transportation Department is located in Yangzhou. Let's choose one of the right ones from this group of salt merchants and serve as the first Salt Transportation Commission."

The spiritual medicine sitting opposite him was writing quickly. He was stunned when he heard this and looked up and said, "Will you just promote me if you don't go on the official career?"

"The property management specializes in. Although the salt transportation commander has great power, as long as the rules are set, the salt transportation department will always be from the court. Tell those lost businessmen that they have the opportunity to succeed, and this thing cannot be done for too long. However, in the future, there will be more and more such yamen. Being able to do business is also a kind of talent, and you can also be an official."

Lingyao tilted his head and thought for a while, and continued to delete and modify the plan. Bei Gu showed his red lips and bit his beautiful big eyes, and his serious look was like a high school student who was reviewing.

Hou Xuanyan did nothing, but was still making trouble on the side. He reached out and lifted the spiritual medicine opposite and put it on his thigh to play with it.

"The slight steps of the waves, and the dust of the silk stockings" is also the vast history, and there are many descriptions of beautiful feet in the beautiful poems.

The discretion of the ruler is reduced by four points, and the delicate jade bamboos are wrapped in light clouds.

The six-inch skin is round and shining, and the white silk embroidered red tori is embroidered.

The embroidery of Silla is wrapped around, and the foot is like spring beauty; others do not say good, but I know it is pitiful.

The white and greasy little feet, their toes are like newly peeled lychees, crystal clear and cute. They are shining with a warm luster, and they are really as smooth as jade and as soft as satin. The flesh color on their feet is as transparent as they are. Ten toes are like ten small petals, and the pink ones are not visible at all. They only feel very beautiful when they see them, which makes people unable to bear to see them.

Lingyao leaned against the back of the chair and pointed back. The front half of the feet were suspended in the air. Two straight legs were crossed on Hou Xuanyan's legs, which made it easier for him to pinch them. When the hem of the skirt was fluttering, he could vaguely see that the pink inside the skirt was shining, and the bare legs were curved smoothly and moving.

Hou Xuanyan slowly enjoyed the intoxicating fragrance of a girl, and his fingers slowly moved upward, like a master who played the strings of a piano. The nasal sound of the elixir is soft, the red face is light and sweaty, just like a ripe red pomegranate. The girl looks beautiful, and everyone has different preferences from different places, but no matter where she goes or whoever she asks to judge, she will be said to be a natural beauty.

The spiritual medicine bit his lips and was hot all over. He twisted his lower body discomfortably, sucked his breath and said, "Master, will you let someone do anything?"

"Let's let's let's let's do yours, I do mine. We have different divisions of labor, but we have to cooperate with each other."

----

The next day, Hou Xuanyan invited gentry and celebrities on the shore of Shrimp West Lake in Yangzhou. Shrimp West Lake is characterized by "shrimp". The lake surface is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, with lush trees on both sides of the shore. The gardens and buildings are simple and colorful, with a very southern characteristic. On a full moon night, each of the fifteen bridge holes contains a moon.

On the bright moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, where does the jade man teach the flute to play...the scenery here is about the scenery.

Hou Xuanyan treated her to a banquet, how much face it was. Even people near Yangzhou were sharpening their heads and wanted to come to the banquet. Local salt merchants even attended the banquet one after another and came to the banquet.

Hou Xuanyan conveyed the fruits of his labor and spiritual medicine, briefly introduced the Salt Transportation Department, and then said that he would choose a capable person to take charge of the new Salt Transportation Department from among the people present.

This was like a drop of water entering the oil pan, causing an instant explosion. Everyone held their breath and wanted to know how he chose.

Hou Xuanyan held the plan and said, "It's easy and difficult to be an official. There are many officials here who should know what I mean. This salt transport envoy is in charge of the responsibility of drying salt, selling salt, and transporting salt in the entire Lianghuai River. It has a long way to go. It is not a virtuous and capable person, but cannot be competent. There are many masters of old salt merchants who are familiar with the craftsmanship and methods. I decided to choose from it. Now everyone can silently write down the candidates in your heart and then leave them to me to count them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands with a magic medicine made by a scholar. The factory guards entered one after another, and everyone had a pen and ink in his hands, and handed it to the people present.

Some of them looked around, some were worried, some were writing, and some were looking around... After half a stick of incense, their lips were red and their teeth were white, and their handsome young men clapped their hands, and their men took back the paper.

At this crowded banquet, the fans sang promises while counting the votes on the spot. Someone who was present had seen the fragrance of democracy. He was dizzy for a moment and listened to the fans sang loudly.

"Xiao Luoyuan."

"Lu Bin."

"Xiao Luoyuan."

"Huang Weiqing."

.....

After the final votes came out, Xiao Luoyuan was elected as the first salt transport envoy with a great advantage. He became the later Lianghuai Salt Manufacturing Factory and the first salt transport envoy of the Salt Transportation Department.

Hou Xuanyan raised his wine glass, celebrated him, and then explained to everyone. What is the newly established Salt Transport Department and how the officials in charge are promoted, without having to go through official careers and directly elected from the business community, which made people's eyes shine.

Everyone was even more happy to hear that they had the opportunity to take office. With the sermons, it was a quiet change in private capital. No one noticed that the smile on Hou Xuanyan's face was profound.

Hou Xuanyan looked at the crowd on the table and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little relieved.

This is the beginning, the beginning of the imperial court's economic regulation, and this long road will definitely not be as smooth as it is today. However, if you want to continue to lead the way and take this slowly self-confidence nation to restore its previous attitude of being ahead of its predecessor.

The spiritual medicine beside him heard his sigh, tilted his head and whispered in concern: "Master, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just think of some deep and tiring things, but after doing it, it will still be very happy."

After brushing it, the face of the spiritual medicine blushed like blood...

"This dead person..."
