There is a white porcelain pen mountain on the carved lacquer table. A small pen is gently placed on the left side of the pen mountain. The tear marks of Xiangfei bamboo are mottled on the pen pipe, and the ink is condensed on the soft sheep hair. It can be seen that it has not been moved for a long time. The ink in the Duan Inkstone on the side has dried up for a long time.
The people who came from Ren's salt farm to communicate the situation stood outside the curtain.
Jiang Xuening sits beside the case, her deep and quiet eyes fall on the two thin pages of writing paper in front of her with the dim light outside the window. Listening to the voice of the man outside, she is a little out of her mind.
"It was fine half a month ago. I was waiting for the first batch of salt to come out. I even found a buyer. But I didn't expect that this kind of thing happened at the most favorable time, and the whole salt field had been burned. Originally, most of the well salt in Shuzhong was fire well, and the salt was boiled by gas combustion. This time, it ignited the burning gas in the salt well, and the ground fire became a piece of fire. By the time his subordinates set out from central Sichuan, all the zhuotang wells built in the salt field had been burnt out
"The master of the family knows that there is a big problem. Send someone to Beijing first.
"The letter was written by the owner himself. He specially asked the little girl to tell her that his wife's finger was slightly burned. Although it was not serious, she couldn't write in person, so the owner wrote it on her behalf. She also asked the girl not to worry too much."
Compared with the letters you wrote in the past, the handwriting on the letterhead is really fluent and beautiful. You can tell from a glance that it was written by Ren Weizhi himself.
The letter gives a general account of the current situation of the saltworks.
But the extent of the fire and the loss of the salt field exceeded Jiang Xuening's expectation: in her last life, she heard that zhuotang well had been built in the first place, but improper prevention caused fire, ignited the burning gas, and triggered the ground fire. Since you Fangyin married in the past, she didn't care about Ren Weizhi and the salt market. She also said that you Fangyin should be more careful and take precautions. I thought that even if the fire could not be completely avoided, it should be prevented and the loss should be minimized. But I didn't expect, not only can't avoid, but also more serious than the last life!
Tang'er and lian'er are waiting outside.
In the evening, the courtyard was illuminated by the afterglow.
Jiang Xuening looked out of the window, raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows gently. She only asked, "it's always the most important thing to prevent the fire in the middle of Sichuan. It's not the same thing for Mr. Ren and the long-term workers who cook salt. How did it catch fire, and how did it develop into such a situation? "
The man standing outside the curtain suddenly faltered.
Jiang Xuening then saw that things didn't seem so simple, so he said: "is it a man-made disaster?"
The man raised his head, his voice filled with injustice and anger, and said, "it's a man-made disaster! Miss Jiang Er is far away in the capital. The owner and his wife didn't want you to worry too much about the saltworks, so they specially told the little ones not to talk about the saltworks. They had their own solutions. But I can't swallow a small mouthful of air pressure in my heart. You don't know. Qingyuan Bofu sent someone from the capital to take care of his wife, but when he arrived at the saltern, he was domineering. "
It turns out that more than half a month ago, an unexpected guest came to Ren's salt farm.
This man holds the waist token of Qingyuan uncle's house. He claims that he is uncle. He is worried about you Fangyin's bad marriage. He's here to see the situation. If there's something wrong with the salt market, it's good to help. After all, the rich people come out to take charge of the business. They have seen a lot of people. If there's any kind of entertainment for the government, they can send him.
But it's just a beautiful thing to say.
On the first day of his stay, he asked for good wine, good food and good room. Naturally, Shu is no more prosperous than the capital, and Ren's salt farm is in the middle of nowhere. How can he be satisfied?
So after three days, he was furious with you, and even pointed to you Fangyin's nose to scold you.
You Fangyin is such a good-natured person?
After he married in Sichuan, he was willing to treat each other with respect and raised eyebrows. He should give a lot of money to the long-term workers. He always treats people with a smile, gentle and gentle.
Who doesn't praise such a good young woman?
Up and down, everyone likes her.
He is in charge of the business in the capital because he is a young lady's family and because he is a servant in Qingyuan. Instead, he has to step on his master's head!
They are also apt to beat and scold the servants who serve and the long-term workers in the salt field.
He also goes in and out of the saltworks from time to time, and tells people what he doesn't know. That is to say, if someone stops to take a breath and drink water, he will scold him for being lazy.
In a few days, everyone in the saltworks was disgusted with him.
At this point, the disgust in the voice of the people who came to report the situation reached the extreme: "that day, an old long-term worker in the salt factory was boiling salt with air. He didn't pay attention to blocking his way. After drinking, he didn't listen to other people's explanation. He just grabbed the old long-term worker and wanted to fight him. Others saw that he had been unhappy for a long time and came up to persuade him to fight. Did not expect him to attack more severe, picked up the side of the bamboo pole with others to fight. After a dozen, the bamboo pipe was broken. Zhuotang well is made of bamboo, and the ground is full of fire. Many brothers were injured in order to save people. The old bastard was scared out of the room just after the accident and stepped on others as a back cushion! "
Did Qingyuan mansion send people to Sichuan?Jiang Xuening was really surprised and frowned.
Heart read a move, but it is a moment to want to understand the reason, the face also gradually sink down.
At first, you Fangyin married to the middle of Shu, but Bofu didn't care.
However, as the price of Ren's salt market's silver stocks goes up, you Yue has a lot of silver stocks in her hand, and Bo's house is a hollowed out one. Naturally, everyone will be interested in the salt market. In the name of taking care of you Fangyin, he sent someone to watch, intervene and nibble at you Fangyin.
It's just that it's impossible to do anything good with such a bad mind.
The fire in the saltworks was expected.
Even if it's a fluke this time, it may not be able to escape in the future!
A snake swallows an elephant.
You Yue was so shocked that she looked as if the sky had collapsed. I can't imagine that she was caught in a trap, right?
Jiang Xuening has a deeper aversion to the family.
She tapped on the table and asked, "how are the others?"
That humanitarian: "Huijiang two girls, because of the open terrain of the salt field, see the plane quickly, but no one lost her life. It's just that some long-term workers boil salt all their lives, and they are reluctant to see the snow flake salt destroyed in the fire. They fight their lives to save some. Some of them are injured, but they are not very serious. Now we should all invite a doctor for treatment. The young woman has even taken out her own money for medicine. Except for the salt field, it's OK. "
Jiang Xuening nodded: "that's good."
Before you Fangyin married Ren Weizhi and went to Shu, she had already explained how to deal with the accident, which you Fangyin and Ren Weizhi would both adopt.
Then the next thing is very simple for her.
Jiang Xuening raised her eyes to look out of the curtain and said, "Mr. Ren sent you just in time. I'm short of personal work here."
*
the news of the accident in Ren's saltern is like a fire, which burns through the paper wrapped outside in the blink of an eye.
Shuxiang inn is almost fried.
The number of customers in the shop is increasing instead of decreasing. Everyone wants to know how Ren's salt shop would end up with such a big shop.
In Qingyuan's mansion, you Yue is so scorched that her lips are blistered. She looks out the door from time to time.
Uncle Qingyuan was sitting behind the desk in his study. Looking at her like this, he was very angry. He was kind to you Yue a few days ago, but now he has changed his face. His voice is sharp and stern: "I have said that none of these businessmen is reliable, but you have to show your patience and spend money to buy some silver shares of laoshizi! Well, the salt field is burning! How much money is wasted! Now that the news has just come out, the price of silver stocks has not fallen too much. Sell them all quickly! How much of the original silver can be recovered! "
You Yue is on fire originally, a listen to this words face all twisted a few minutes.
Her rare failure to follow the past.
When his eyes turned back, he looked at his father, but he sneered bitterly: "my father is really standing with no back pain now! How much did you ask me earlier? Now that something has happened, he has come to rebuke me as if he had been a prophet! "
Uncle Qingyuan is a coward, but he is always the one who holds the shelf most fiercely in his family. How can he hear her sharp irony?
A fire came out of my heart.
He raised his case to teach the rebellious girl a lesson. He pointed to her nose and scolded her: "it's wrong, it's wrong! The house keeps you and provides for you! What do you mean your private money is not given to you by the government? "
Mrs. Bo didn't know anything about business either. She only knew that if something happened in the salt market, the price of silver stocks would fall, and the business in her daughter's hand would be lost. Although she is also worried, you Yue is her own daughter after all.
See Qingyuan uncle attack will make up, she will raise sleeve wipe tears, crying to pull forward.
While crying, he said: "uncle, Yueer is going to choose a princess. I can't beat her! Anyway, it's your own daughter. Isn't the price of silver stocks still falling to the end? We advised her to sell silver shares earlier, that is to say
Then he turned to persuade you Yue: "don't make any trouble at this point. If people in the capital see jokes, where will my uncle's face go? If you like his royal highness Linzi, it's not good to let him know. Daughter, step back and let it go. At this time, it's still profitable to sell. "
Where will you listen?
She felt that her parents were stupid: "sell to earn? At this time, the news has spread. Do you think those in the capital are all good people? When something goes wrong in the salt field, who will buy this kind of silver stock that is doomed to fail to get money back? If you are willing to sell, I'm afraid no one will buy! In that case, why not gamble? There's an accident in the salt field. Isn't Ren and Xiaojian hoof still alive? If you have some money in your hand, you may not be able to make a comeback! "
She glared at her eyes, bent on her own way, and even showed some terrible anger.
Everyone was shocked.
After Mrs. Bo was stunned, she cried even more heartbroken. Mr. Bo was burned with anger and lost his sense. She picked up the cane nearby and rushed to you Yue, cursing: "rebellious girl, rebellious girl!"You Yue saw that Qingyuan uncle's attack was so ferocious that she was afraid.
However, she refused to accept the failure she had done. She held her head up in her throat, straightened her back, and said, "the profit is mine, and the loss is mine. What does it have to do with you? When it's time to sell, I'll sell it! "
She swung her sleeve and walked out of the room.
After a while, she heard the sound of broken bottles and cans in the back study, but instead of stopping, she went straight back to her room. It was not until she entered the door and closed it, and there was no one else, that she began to shudder and shiver, and the color of her face disappeared, showing a kind of pale.
"How, how..."
You Yue covers her face, and her body slides down gradually. Finally, she is in a hurry behind her.
The next period of time was a painful ordeal.
It is clear that there is not much time left for Linzi king to choose his concubine. However, she does not think about the silver shares of Ren's salt factory and tosses about. Originally, these days, it is hard to keep a Yurun face, the naked eye visible haggard down, under the eyes accumulated a layer of black, even with the best powder is hard to cover. The whole person even became a little out of his mind. He would stand up and ask if there was any news from the salt field.
But the news of Shuxiang Inn has never changed.
That is to say, the fire in the saltern is serious and almost clean, but both Ren Weizhi and you Fangyin are OK and will start to rebuild the saltern.
How convincing is this news alone?
There are so many people doing business in the world that they can't get up when they fall down.
Most people are not optimistic.
On the day of the news of the fire in the salt field, some people wanted to sell their silver stocks. However, the news spread so widely that everyone knew that something had happened, and few of them were willing to pay for it.
So although silver stocks are listed, no one is willing to buy them.
The price fell day by day.
At first, it was 1600 Wen, then 1500 Wen, 1400 Wen.
On the fourth day, there was a direct drop of 500 Wen!
Because on this day, the owner of youhuangguan, who holds the most silver stocks in the capital, did not bear the stimulation of the salt market accident. After thinking about it carefully, he probably threw 10000 shares out in order to seek stability, trying to stop loss for himself.
*
when the news came to Jiang Xuening, she was sitting in front of the chessboard to make music. Black and white Erzi had already spread half a chessboard, but she looked up strangely.
It took a long time to laugh.
There was a touch of cunning in her dark eyes. She gently touched her jaw with the chess piece and said, "how calm was this unscrupulous merchant when she took advantage of the fire to buy my silver shares at a low price! I didn't expect that... "
The person standing outside is Liu Yang, who came to the saltworks to report the news some time ago. He has been in the capital for several days, but he can't understand the thoughts of Jiang er.
He hesitated and asked, "do you want to take this opportunity to buy?"
Jiang Xuening put the pieces back on the chessboard, picked an eyebrow to look at him, and said, "what's the panic? At present, it's still a high price of 900 Wen. It's not too late to wait for it to fall for another two days. "
What's more
She looked at the chessboard and thought: for the first time in this situation, even LV Xian couldn't be stable. Why did you Yue, such a fool, not move at all?
Is he still a gambler?
Xiao has been spending money like water recently.
It's about time.
Jiang Xuening calculates the situation of Qingyuan Bofu, and suddenly has a plan in mind. He says to Liu Yang: "the people of Qingyuan Bofu haven't seen you, have they?"
LV Xian: he was flustered and felt that something was wrong.
In fact, I'm thinking about whether to build a new reader group for myself and find a group of enthusiastic readers to urge me to code (. How can this state be finished this year?
