In the afternoon of the second day, Haiyang Office.

"When will the salt works be opened again?"

"That's right, why is it closed again?"

At this time, there were more coastal people gathered on the periphery of the salt field than before last time, everyone was muttering, looking forward to it, and some of them were not too big to see the excitement, and they were sparing no effort to spread rumors.

In the past few days, the imperial court has urgently adjusted its decrees and sent the minister of civil and military affairs to supervise it, and the local government has not been idle.

The policy of the imperial court was not unpleasant, and after half a month's work, the tone of the new salt law was basically determined at the court meeting.

As soon as this tone came out, there was immediately action in the local area.

First of all, it was open for a few days, and the salt farms that purchased salt goods at a higher price than the previous government were closed, and the news was also clear.

For example, the reason why this Haiyang salt factory was closed was because the new policy of the court arrived, and the minister of the Qin mission was sent down to take charge of the implementation of the salt law, and he did not dare to buy it again.

To put it bluntly, this is selling miserably to the coastal people.

These so-called words that can no longer continue to purchase salt goods are tantamount to saying, you see, we care about you, but the court doesn't care about your life or death at all, this is to sacrifice your net worth and life for the implementation of the new salt law.

In the past few days, there have been many salt farms with this kind of news, and more and more people have gathered in these areas.

Haiyang is the most serious of them, so serious that without the ministers of the imperial court to take care of things, the local officials dare not even say a word.

Without it, once the popular uprising is provoked, it will be implicated, and judging from the current situation, the popular uprising will be in the next few days.

There was still a commotion outside, but Li Eel in the main hall didn't mean to be scared at all, this is the situation he wants, why be afraid?

Besides, these people are not targeting him Li Eel.

On weekdays, the façade has already been done enough, and in the eyes of the people, he is the great good man in Haiyang!

They are hostile to the new salt law of the imperial court, even if they rush in, they will not lose anything if they have the salt to protect their roots, but this Haiyang Institute, even if it is completely big at that time.

"The owner is wise!"

The family and his subordinates were complimenting, and Li Eel also touched his chin and sneered: "The imperial court implements the new salt law, if it provokes a civil uprising in the local area, it will be a lot of fun!" ”

Many of the people present were local heroes, and they were also relieved when they saw the current situation.

"Yes, there is a civil uprising, which not only makes the majesty of the court lost, but even His Majesty will lose face today..., next time you want to implement something, it will not be so easy!"

"It's time to let the court know the truth that the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake!"

"The eternal truth, with his little doll in his early twenties, why should he cut off the financial route of all of us?"

Li Eel picked up the tea and took a sip, and said with a smile:

"Those people outside the door haven't eaten rice for two days, so I'll give some relief today, and then let Yan Ding tease a few words at will, and complain a few bitter words, I think, this matter will be done."

The heroes raised their tea one after another and laughed loudly:

"Then let's go back and set up a feast first, and get ready to celebrate!"

Before the tea was eaten, a salt ding hurriedly ran in, ran to the door and stumbled, "Oh no, the owner, it's not good!" ”

"Coming in, all coming in!"

Li Eel looked extremely calm, he looked over lightly, and he was still holding a tea bowl in his hand.

"What about coming in, I saved some porridge and rice."

The heroes didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and they were still smiling, but a few of them frowned, staring at the salt ding who broke in.

"No, they didn't come in!" The salt Ding panted and said hurriedly:

"It's the soldiers, it's the officers and soldiers who have broken in!"

When Li Eel heard this, he threw the tea bowl, got up and said angrily:

"What!?"

"Didn't Zheng Yikui, a thousand households in Haiyang, accept my three thousand taels of silver, doesn't he know that now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and he dares to send officers and soldiers?"

Yan Ding waved his hand again and again: "No, it's not Zheng Qianhu, it's the men and horses of Yang Zhaoji, the chief soldier of Shandong, and the leader of the troops is a young general, called Yang Yufan!" ”

"Yang Yufan..."

Li Eel silently recited a few words and slowly sat back.

The heroes were not as light as him, they were all shocked, and they got up one after another, the tea bowl was broken, and the sound of the stool being kicked down also rose one after another.

"It's Yang Zhaoji and Yang Yufan?"

"This father and son, none of them are good at getting along, Yang Zhaoji is deeply used by His Majesty today, and his prestige in the army is extremely high, and his son Yang Yufan is also a young man, and he has been in the martial arts at the age of fifteen, leading troops abroad!"

A strong man in a green robe looked at Li Eel and asked eagerly:

"Li Dongjia, this matter was mentioned by your salt farms, but you didn't say that the imperial court would directly send troops, what should I do now?"

Another Haoqiang also got up, he stood in front of Li Eel, and said loudly:

"I said at the time that all the military power was in the hands of the emperor, and if the imperial court was determined to implement the new salt law, this thing would not work at all! Now, we'll all have to finish it together! ”

"I'm not going to wait for you to die, I'm leaving..."

Li Eel looked at the chaos in the hall, glanced at the last person who spoke, and said, "Let's go?" Where to go, since the imperial court has sent troops, it must also be left behind! ”

"Do you think you'll be left alone now, tell you! The imperial court has cleaned up the salt fields in various places, and it will turn around and deal with you! ”

Enough trouble, the heroes sat down and looked at each other, some looked flustered and looked a little desperate, and some people looked uncertain, as if they were thinking about something.

"Wen Tiren is in charge of salt administration, and Yang Yufan's troops will suppress it at any time..."

"This emperor, what a decisive means!"

For these local forces, Zhu Youxiao's response method is not very clever, but it is indeed a fatal move.

Under the situation that the emperor was in charge of the court and held the military power, the local tyrants could not fight hard, so they joined one after another, wanting to rely on public opinion to force the implementation of the new salt law to be terminated.

But no one expected that the imperial court would act so quickly this time, and the emperor did not hesitate at all, and directly intervened in the local salt administration.

It's only been half a month, and before the news has spread all over Denglai and Lianghuai, the minister who took over the salt administration has already gone down to the locality, and Dongchang and the officers and soldiers are cooperating, which is basically impossible to play!

Na Haoqiang also sighed heavily, sat down and looked at Li Eel, and asked again:

"What to do, what do you say?"

After Fang Cai's shock, Li Eel gradually reacted now, and turned his head and said: "Immediately tell this news to the salt farms in various places, and take advantage of the fact that the ministers of civil and military affairs are in Dengzhou Mansion, and step up to make trouble for the troubled people!" ”

"Also, have all the official documents of the salt administration been destroyed?"

The leader of the salt ding said: "Not yet, the time is too tight, the salt goods in the salt field have piled up too much, and they have only hoarded thirty percent, what should I do now?" ”

Li Eel's eyes rolled, and his face turned fierce, "It's too late, burn, burn directly, don't want the house, don't want the salt farm, burn as much as you want!" ”

"Good! I'll go! ”

Shiotto nodded, turned and left.
