Huiying felt panicked. As a woman, even though she had not experienced any human affairs, she knew what Shuangxi wanted to say, but she didn't want Shuangxi to say it because she confirmed that she didn't have that feeling about Shuangxi, and she knew that she already had Li Xin in her heart.

How could she marry Shuangxi with someone else in her heart? She was unwilling to disobey her own wishes and be Shuangxi's wife. Although Shuangxi was in her eyes, she was a very good honest person.

Honest people are used to take over. There is no problem between Li Xin and her or not, so she cannot consider Shuangxi. Shuangxi is only suitable for being an older brother, and cares about herself like her brother caring about her sister. She was afraid that Shuangxi would not even be able to do anything after she confessed to her. So she stood up and screamed: "Oh, Shuangxi, I forgot, I have to take female soldiers to train, I'll go first."

As he said that, he spread his legs and ran towards the camp.

Seeing the cherished back running further and further, Li Shuangxi had the urge to rush forward and grab it, but he still endured it, and a look of pain appeared on his face, murmured: "Huiying, is what Zhang Nai said true? Have you changed your mind? That kid clearly has a wife, and he still hooked up with his wife and dominated Lanzhi. What's the point of this kind of lewd embryo?"

"ah!"

After Huiying ran away, Li Shuangxi could no longer help but hold her head and rolled on the ground!

...

For the next period of time, Huiying always avoided being alone with Shuangxi, and Shuangxi could not find a chance to confess. In this way, a month passed, and Han Wenjing suddenly collected more than 40,000 taels of silver from the salt merchant and recruited tens of thousands of salt diary assistants. On the surface, one person had a lot of silver, but in fact, the big head was urged by the generals above to take it away with the rich family. The only thing that really fell into the hands of Yanding was three or five cents of silver.

However, the Revolutionary Army did not come as expected, and it didn't matter if the salt Ding was in charge. Anyway, he was in charge of food and accommodation, and he didn't work without money. His life had never been so comfortable. On the contrary, Han Wenjing was uneasy. Not long after the Revolutionary Army captured Baoying and Xinghua, it continued to go east and easily captured Tongzhou, Taizhou, swept Taixing, Yizheng, Rugao and Haimen. The total force reached 20,000 by incorporating the Ming army and Ding Zhuang.

At this time, the whole army realized that the musket was good and did not require too much training. They stood in a queue and were proficient in the procedures of loading medicines and ammunition. The recruits could also shoot, and if they were equipped with bayonets in front, they could fight.

Of course, this is only the initial one. If you want to become an elite soldier, you still need to continue to train.

A month later, Li Xin personally brought the Forward Battalion, the Personal Guard Company and the Five Thousand Warriors to Chongming Salt Field.

The salt industry in the Ming Dynasty was already quite developed and reached the peak of modern handicrafts, especially the Lianghuai Salt Field's salt quality was the best. During its peak period, it produced nearly four million stones of refined white salt annually, and the salt tax was 600 to 7 million taels of silver. At this time, Chongming Salt Field was like an unguarded beauty in Li Xin's eyes.

The atmosphere in the salt field was extremely tense. The ambassador, deputy envoy, general urging, and wealthy families, with thousands of stoves and three or five hundred Ming soldiers, holding swords, guns, sticks, and bows and arrows, were waiting for the battle. Everyone seemed very nervous.

"Li Xin, you are the general of the court after all, and the salt industry is the foundation of the court. If you rob the salt field, the court will be unable to survive. Can you be worthy of the emperor's grace of knowing the emperor?"

The ambassador's surname is Wang and his name is Wang Bingquan. He shouted in a trembling voice from the ninth rank sesame official.

Li Xinha smiled: "What commander does? You don't need to teach you a lesson. Now I will give you a chance to put down your weapons immediately and surrender on the spot. You are a Sesame official from the ninth rank, why should you work for Chongzhen? What benefits did the Ming Dynasty give you?

I know that if you are a mung bean sesame officer like you, you are not as angry as you, and you are not as good as following me. Huang Degong can do anything to me. What else do you have to worry about? Am I not even as good as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong? You know that the grain officers in Huai'an Caocang are already serving our commander. Besides, if you don't blush, the soldiers in Huai'an are crying and making a fuss with me."

Li Xin was like a machine gun, and Wang Bingquan looked struggling. After all, what Li Xin said was the truth. Surrendering to Li Xin may not be a way out. With the thousands of stoves in his hands, how many people are willing to fight?

He couldn't help but look back. Many people showed fear and anxiety on their faces, and some people's eyes were filled with expectations.

Li Xin said leisurely again: "You may be a little worried about your future, so I will tell you that the salt industry is the foundation of the country, but the court has set up many rules and regulations for the salt industry, which restricts the development of the salt industry. The income of salt stove households is very low, and the money is divided by salt merchants and officials above. Why do the person who contributes the most can get the least money?

This is very unreasonable, so I plan to reorganize Lianghuai Salt Field into Lianghuai Salt Industry Corporation. The company has dozens of commercial investment operations, and cooperates with each other. The basis is divided equally. The Salt Industry Corporation is controlled by the state. From then on, it will abolish the salt system and release production capacity. It will produce as much as it can be produced and sold at a reasonable price. No matter who comes, it will be sold as long as it is given silver. The salt stove households and personnel at all levels of the salt farm will be transferred to company employees. Pay monthly wages and bonuses will be paid according to different levels, and a five-hour working system will be implemented. Each person will take one day off every ten days. At the end of the year, a certain amount will be withdrawn from the company's profits and the year-end bonus will be issued. All employees of the company have a share. This is just a preliminary structure, and the details need to be considered again."

"Master, then are we still salt households?"

A rough voice came from the crowd.

"Of course not!"

Li Xin smiled slightly: "As under the rule of the Revolutionary Army, all people are equal at the legal level, and there is no distinction between peasants, workers, men and merchants. You are employees of the Salt Industry Corporation and no longer household registration. Let me tell you the most direct change. Your wives and children are employees' families. You can live in the city or farm and do business freely. The only ones that have something to do with the Salt Industry Corporation are you, not them. Your children can get free reading and literacy. When you get old in the future, you can replace your work, or engage in other jobs, or even talented ones, and you can become officials. In short, they are free and do whatever they want as long as they do not violate the law."

"Master, we are willing to follow you!"

"Master, why didn't you come early?"

"Commander, nearly 10,000 people were recruited by the Korean realm. Please let them go. We will go to Yangzhou with the Commander. The custody will persuade the Commander to surrender!"

The salt diners were clamoring, and anyone knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change their destiny. Someone even cried with joy. Li Xin also looked at Wang Bingquan and said with a smile: "If you invest in me, I will let you be the general manager and run Lianghuai Salt Industry Corporation for me."

"I, Wang Bingquan...I am willing to serve the commander!"

Wang Bing knew that there was no room for retreat at this moment, not to mention that he didn't want to miss this opportunity. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed!
Chapter completed!
