But Zheng Yuanwai was at his wits end at this time. His backer, Xu Guoyuan, was in the capital and could not solve the current problem!
Not getting the results he wanted from Governor Yang, Zheng Zhiyan returned to Lin Tailai.
Lin Daguan's smile was still so warm, and he said gently: "Now the conditions have changed again. These 7,000 dens are to be leased to me permanently. My people will collect the salt in the salt field, and then hand it over to the Caojun brothers."
Carried.”
The condition just now was that the Zheng family would collect the salt at the salt farm and hand it over to the Cao Army for transportation. The Zheng family would not have to take care of it afterwards.
Now the revised condition is that the Zheng family does not even need to take care of the salt collection, which means that the Zheng family has completely lost control of the 7,000-year-old family.
Zheng Zhiyan was going crazy, "You just said that the conditions will not change again!"
Official Lin said calmly: "If you didn't turn around and go to the governor just now and agree on the spot, the conditions would not change.
Now that you have gone to see the governor, the conditions have been changed accordingly."
This was completely unreasonable, and Zheng almost wanted to turn around and go find Governor Yang again.
Seeing that Zheng was still unwilling to agree readily, Lin Tailai asked again: "Do you still want to go to the governor?"
Zheng Yuanwai felt that his situation was too difficult and he was really in a dilemma.
"Promise him!" In a daze, Officer Zheng seemed to hear Governor Yang calling from behind.
If he didn't agree, he might even offend the governor to death. Zheng Yuanwai felt hopeless and said, "That's all? Will it never change again?"
Lin Tailai nodded, "If you agree now, you won't change again!"
In the end, Zheng Yuanwai succumbed to reality, lowered his head and said, "Then I agree!"
Official Lin immediately turned his head and shouted in the other direction: "Gao Changjiang! Prepare the contract! In quadruplicate!"
Then he said to Zheng Yuanwai: "There is no proof for what you say, but the contract is for proof!"
Taking advantage of the free time to prepare the contract, Lin Daguan walked up to the thousands of "mutinous Cao troops" and said excitedly:
"Brothers of the Cao Army! I have brought you a livelihood that will last at least several generations!"
"Ziguan Gaoyi!" Those Cao soldiers were even more excited than Lin Daguan's people, and even changed their title to "Ziguan". Originally, only members of the Lin clan called Lin Tailai this way.
"From now on, the 7,000 yuan of salt shipped from Yangzhou to Suzhou City will be completely transported by you!"
"It's a good idea to sit down and be righteous!"
"According to my personal estimation, each of the Caojun brothers present here can make a profit of ten taels per year!"
"It's a good idea to sit down and be righteous!"
The interaction at the scene was very lively. Every time Lin Daguan said something, the mutinous Cao Army cheered loudly and resounded through the sky.
Ten taels of silver is really not that small, it is basically close to the annual income of an ordinary migrant worker in Suzhou.
Official Lin was very satisfied. These Cao troops were indeed very united. If they could be used to their own advantage, they would have great potential in the future.
This phenomenon of Cao army grouping seems to be an inconspicuous situation in this era, not worth mentioning, but its influence on later generations lasted for hundreds of years.
In another time and space, after the Qing Dynasty, the Cao army based on the garrison system was naturally gone, but the indispensable water transportation still relied on these people.
So these people became the Cao Gang, and then evolved into the more famous Qing Gang.
At this time, Gao Changjiang rushed over and reminded hurriedly: "Sit down! Did you forget something?"
Official Lin asked, "What did you forget?"
Gao Changjiang replied: "How come you forgot the oiran Bai Ji when you were negotiating with Zheng Salt Merchant?
Didn't you come to Yangzhou City just for Bai Ji? Who doesn't know your deep love for Bai Ji?
You can definitely put forward this condition and ask Zheng Yanshang to hand over Bai Ji!"
Lin Tailai immediately changed his face and scolded: "That's ridiculous! Am I, Lin Tailai, someone who is desperate for women?
Besides, the reason why I negotiated with Zheng Zhiyan was to seek benefits for Caojun brothers, how could I cause trouble because of my own affairs?"
"It's high justice to sit in the palace! It's high justice to sit in the palace!" The mutinous Cajun army didn't know what to say, so they could only raise their arms and chant together enthusiastically.
In the background, I saw a book friend named Zhao Laoyao rewarded 15,000 book coins. What is this? Isn’t Qidian’s Qidian coins? The book coins are from QQ?
