Just when the Seventh Ministry of Shatu and the entire Ganzhou were gradually causing trouble because of the case of the governor Ries and the "assassination", Yan Liqiang, who was the person involved in the entire incident, quietly got out of the matter and returned to the manufacturing bureau.

Of course, before that, Yan Liqiang also established close relations with the new county magistrate of Pingxi County, Wang Jianbei and the new governor of Pingxi County, Liu Yucheng.

Wang Jianbei and Liu Yucheng are both hardcores from Riestong's subordinates, and Yan Liqiang will cooperate with Riestong to get involved in the salt industry. Wang Jianbei and Liu Yucheng naturally knew about it. Not only did they know, but they were also one of the promoters of the plan. When Riestong became Yan Liqiang's "Uncle Lei" who had both become Yan Liqiang's "Uncle Lei", the relationship between the two and Yan Liqiang almost did not require Yan Liqiang to make friends deliberately, and it quickly heated up, and both sides suddenly became firm allies.

Being involved in the salt industry can be considered as sharing the spoils together, while the assassination of Shatu people can be considered as carrying guns together and digging pits for Shatu people. The relationship between the four major irons in life has already occupied two irons, so it is difficult to think about the relationship between the two sides.

Before leaving Pingxi City, when Wang Jianbei was feeling a headache about the problem of too many people gathering in the Shatu people gathering in the Shatu people gathering in Pingxi City, Yan Liqiang "called hot iron strikes" proposed a plan to gradually solve the problem of too many people in Pingxi City by using non-violent methods, which surprised Wang Jianbei.

Yan Liqiang proposed the core principle of solving the problem of excessive Shatu people in Pingxi City, which is to significantly increase the cost of Shatu people living in Pingxi City while reducing the ability of Shatu people to make money in Pingxi City.

Shatu people are doing various businesses in Pingxi City, such as medicinal materials, fur, wood, jewelry, and even restaurants. Shatu people are sold to various merchants in Pingxi City. The basic daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil and salt in Pingxi City are also purchased in Pingxi City. To solve the problem of too many Shatu people in Pingxi City, as long as the county magistrate gathers the merchants, businesses and business groups that do business with Shatu people, and let the merchants, businesses and business groups form a price alliance for Shatu people.

In the future, when those people bought the sales materials brought by Shatu people, everyone could only buy them at half price or one-third of the price. The lower the price, the better. When Shatu people wanted to buy daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt in the city, the price sold to Shatu people continued to increase. Both sides made efforts at the same time, on the one hand, the money they made was less and less, and on the other hand, the cost of eating, drinking, defecation and urination in Pingxi City became higher and higher. Many Shatu people who gathered in Pingxi City could only be forced to leave Pingxi City. In this way, the number of Shatu people living in Pingxi City decreased, and the safety hazards of Pingxi City in the future could be eliminated.

Stimulated by huge profits, the merchants in Pingxi City were naturally willing to cooperate and cut Shatu people's flesh together. What Wang Jianbei had to do was to establish a supervision and punishment mechanism. As long as anyone in Pingxi City dared to privately destroy this tacit understanding and Shatu people's business, he would pay a heavy price.

This method is neither violence, but only violence as a backing, nor the government comes forward. It only allows the government to hide behind it, and will not let the court catch the handle. At the same time, it can also benefit a group of obedient businessmen in the city. It can be said that they can kill more than one shot. Wang Jianbei was surprised that Yan Liqiang was young and could come up with such a way. If he could not kill the soldiers, he would gradually solve the problem of Shatu people who could make all the county magistrates suffer from a soft knife. The method proposed by Yan Liqiang can actually be implemented in Pingxi City, but other counties in Ganzhou can actually be handled accordingly.

Of course, for Yan Liqiang, this method does not contain much technical content. He just asked the merchants in Pingxi City to form a small cartel targeting the Shatu people.

Cartels are a form of monopoly, referring to a monopoly alliance formed by companies that produce similar goods or provide similar services in order to obtain high profits, and reach agreements in one or several aspects such as dividing markets, regulating commodity output, and determining commodity prices. Cartels are something that Yan Liqiang was in the world where his previous life was, but in this world, some local guilds and chambers of commerce in various states and counties also have the prototype of cartel organization.

Since the Shatu people dared to do such a rebellious act as "assassination of the governor", let the Shatu people in Ganzhou taste the cartels and experience the pain of being exploited by capital and profiteers.

Cartels alone are not Yan Liqiang's style. When leaving Pingxi City, after a "long talk" between Yan Liqiang and Riestong, Riestong had decided to make people come together after returning to Ganzhou City this time. It is foreseeable that in the coming soon, the dark history of Shatu people in various parts of Ganzhou will be constantly exposed. Once the public opinion atmosphere created in the future is formed, it will be enough to make Shatu people unable to move forward in Ganzhou, and make it a joke that is deeply hated. When it was released, there was no such thing as newspapers. Even if the public was not allowed to report negative news about Shatu people, no matter how awesome Lin Qingtian was, he could not clamp down the mouths of the world...

If these methods against the Shatu people were not available in normal times, the Shatu people's "assassination of the governor" this time can become an opportunity for Ganzhou to counterattack the Shatu people. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the destruction of the Shatu people on Ganzhou to a minimum when the Han Empire encountered great changes four years later.

Through this incident, I saw Yan Liqiang's ability and wisdom. Whether it was Riestong, Wang Jianbei and others, they all looked at Yan Liqiang with admiration. They finally knew why Yan Liqiang had made his reputation in the Imperial Capital in just a short time.

…………

Yan Liqiang waved his sleeves and returned to the manufacturing bureau of Huanglong County without taking away a cloud. Yan Liqiang, who returned to the manufacturing bureau, was not idle, but began to complete the final sorting and transformation of the manufacturing process of the four-wheeled carriage.

The manufacturing of four-wheeled carriages involves many processes and technologies. From the very beginning, Yan Liqiang has been involved in every manufacturing link and process and has already known its manufacturing process. On this basis, Yan Liqiang decomposed and sorted out the entire manufacturing process of four-wheeled carriages in the manufacturing bureau, and silently completed the transformation of the first artificial assembly line for the production of four-wheeled carriages in this era.

Not only that, Yan Liqiang also forced a new set of weights and measures that he proposed and refined within the Manufacturing Bureau...
