In this confrontation with salt, it was originally the main force of the salt merchant family, but it suddenly became a mad dog under the command of the Ming Marquis Mansion, and the sudden change of position stunned countless people.

And the force of a mad dog is very strong.

Dong Guo Feng returned to Qianwei, he mobilized the strength of the entire Dongguo family, cooperated with Qianwei Taishou and six gates, took down some private salt sales channels, and also dug out a lot of private salt wells.

At the same time, the salt inventory of the Dongguo family was also handed over to Jingping Commercial Bank for sale through the channel of Jingping Salt Shop.

The market was originally short of salt, but now it is starting to be replenished.

Prices are starting to come down as well.

In less than ten days, it fell from 17,000 yuan a stone to 9,000 yuan a stone, falling below the lowest price in history.

The salt merchant clan began to mess up.

They relied on salt to rely on.

But now the salt has become a bit rotten, and the salt in their hands seems to be insignificant, but the whole family is waiting for dinner, and if this continues, sooner or later the family will collapse.

The most important thing is that even if they have salt in their hands, there is no way to release it now.

This is tantamount to them holding their salt and waiting to die.

It's a matter of life and death, they can't take care of anything anymore, at this time, unconditionally surrendering to the Minghou Mansion is their only way out, as for some of the most stubborn salt merchants, they don't need the Minghou Mansion to do it, the Dongguo family has already begun to do it.

At this time, the Minghou Mansion struck while the iron was hot and directly launched a new salt policy, first dismissing all the salt officials in various places, and the affairs of salt were unified under the dispatch of the Salt Affairs Department, and then began to register all salt wells and salt workers.

This is equivalent to putting the development of salt under the eyes of the Minghou Mansion, and the transparent development of salt wells allows the Minghou Mansion to ensure the production of salt.

Then there is the establishment of a salt introduction system.

The Salt Affairs Department announced that salt imports are required for salt trafficking and trading in Yizhou, and only merchants who hold salt imports are allowed to transport salt and sell salt.

This is not only a guarantee of the collection of salt taxes.

What's more important is to put all the power of salt in the Salt Affairs Department and under the Ming Marquis Mansion.

…………

Under a series of systems, the salt merchant group that used to control the entire Yizhou salt has collapsed, and the salt rights have been completely recovered by the Minghou Mansion.

This is one thing that makes Mu Jing happy.

He was a little surprised by how smoothly this happened.

He immediately began to reflect on himself, and also began to realize one thing, not everything, need to reach the point of a fish to the point of breaking the net, although it is not a win-win situation, but the interests are negotiable.

For the governance of Yizhou, he cannot limit the old rules and regulations.

He wanted to be brave enough to reform.

The establishment of the Salt Affairs Department and the change of the rules for making and selling salt are all tentative aspects of his future administration in Yizhou, and at present, this effect is particularly good.

Yizhou is open to the change of new rules.

As long as he realizes this, he is very determined to reform the governance of Yizhou.

With this success.

Let Mu Jing's confidence be greatly increased.

Next, Mu Jing is going to dispatch the management system of the county government.

The Minghou Mansion is in charge of Yizhou, and the first-level administration is naturally the Minghou Mansion, and then the second-level administrative system is the county government, and the third-level administrative system is the county government, and the county government is the core.

To govern a county, pay more attention to people's livelihood.

But Mu Jing didn't say anything about this to anyone, he needed to prepare first, and then thunder action, before that, he was not ready to confide in any thoughts, even for Hu Zhao and Liu Jin, he was tight-lipped.

It's not that they don't trust the two, but Hu Zhao and Liu Jin, they are both related to local governance, and their thoughts are still limited to this era, and they can't keep up with their own rhythm, and they can easily become opposed.

At this time, Mu Jing told himself that he had to be dictatorial, otherwise he would not be able to change the fundamentals.

……………………

Time passed imperceptibly, and it entered August of the seventh year of Chuping.

News from the front kept coming back.

Large-scale flooding in Jiangdong and Jingzhou led to changes in the war in Jiujiang.

Jiangdong's foreign campaign this year is not only Jiujiang, but also Jiaozhou, because of the disaster in the territory, not only the attack on Jiujiang is not smooth, but even the campaign against Jiaozhou is also somewhat stranded.

The conquest of the Central Plains was not based on plunder, and the way of fighting to support the war rarely existed, and once there was a problem in the backyard, the front line would immediately collapse.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang's continuous Northern Expedition and continuous failure in history, losing the support of the rear, no matter how strong the troops are, it is difficult to move an inch.

In early August, Sun Jian had no choice but to withdraw from Jiujiang.

Then there is Liu Biao, Liu Biao's Jingzhou, especially this section of Jiangxia, is also flooded, at least hundreds of thousands of people are affected, Liu Biao has no choice but to end the attack on Runan and make every effort to stabilize the territory.

With the withdrawal of the two princes, this battle changed.

The pressure on Yuan Shu's southern front was all relaxed, and his troops began to move from west to north.

Yuan Shu's forces were not weak.

Back then, he was also the strongest prince in the world, although he lost half a cup of Yuzhou and even Nanyang, and his strength was greatly reduced, but even if it was a bad ship, there were still three nails.

Yuan Shu also has Runan in his hands, Runan is a county side by side with Nanyang, in terms of population, it can be regarded as second only to Nanyang, the second in the world, and the Yuan family has been in business for many years, and its prestige is flourishing, and he ordered conscription in one breath, and even could make the whole people soldiers.

This time, Yuan Shu looked crazy, he not only poured his soldiers and horses out of the nest, but also began to recruit young people to the battlefield, and invested more than 100,000 troops in the small Runan, which was terrifying.

In addition, in the northern part of Jiujiang, he also invested in the elite and was fighting with Cao Jun non-stop.

The more tough he became, the more it aroused the fighting spirit of the princes from all walks of life, and now although Jiangdong and Jingzhou have withdrawn from the battlefield, there are still Cao Army, Mu Army, Guanzhong Army, and tripartite troops on the battlefield.

Cao's army attacked from the north to the south.

The Guanzhong Army and the Mu Army were both attacking Runan.

Throughout August, the sun in the sky was like fire, and the flood on the ground was raging, but Runan and Jiujiang were in a mess......

………………

Zhaoming Pavilion.

Mu Jing cocked Erlang's legs, half-held resting, he was in a good mood recently, and the system of salt making licenses, salt sales licenses, and salt introduction was promoted very smoothly.

"Lord!"

Tan Zong walked in from the outside.

"Sit!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "Is there any news?" ”

"The morning before yesterday, Huangfu Song's Guanzhong army broke through Runan, but yesterday night, the Guanzhong army was in Shouchun City!"

"So fast?" Mu Jing raised his head, and his eyes flashed with a flash of surprise: "Is your news true?" “

"The news has been verified, there is no doubt about it!"

"Tell me about the process!"

"Originally, when Huangfu Song's Guanzhong army broke through Runan, it suffered a loss, and there were more than 10,000 Yuan troops on his left flank, but Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang suddenly made a move, swept away Huang Fu Song's left flank, so that Huang Fu Song had no worries at all, even so, he should rest for a few days, and then continue to march to Jiujiang, but no one thought that Huang Fu Song would take a dangerous situation, not only did not rest, but also did not push layer by layer, directly marched urgently, took the trail, gave up the attack on the city, and directly marched to Shouchun, A rapid march of one day and one night, at least 600 miles! ”

"It's too ruthless!"

Mu Jing gasped: "It's not just that the line of soldiers is dangerous, the fact is that the physical strength is overdrawn, with the weakest but powerful momentum, the first soldier is in Shouchun City, this Huangfu Song, it's really a little unexpected!" ”
