Cao Bang looked at Huang Changzong, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

Of course he understood what Huang Changzong meant, Chen Hong had already realized that something was wrong as soon as he came out, and now when he heard Huang Changzong's explanation, he understood.

Obviously, the emperor can't say such things, he can only let his subordinates.

I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect there to be such waves. But it doesn't matter if you spend some money, it's not a big deal to take out the money in the house, and you will give it if you give it.

Huang Changzong, who was standing on the side, watched Cao Bang's expression change constantly, and thought that he was reluctant.

Huang Changzong hurriedly persuaded him bitterly: "Brother Cao, don't be reluctant, those are just some things outside the body." As long as you keep a useful body, you don't have to worry about gathering money back one day. Didn't Li Bai say everything? I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. As long as we leave it useful, money is not a trivial matter? Don't take it to heart, we will have more opportunities to make money in the future. ”

"Brother Huang Xian doesn't need to persuade me." Cao Bang nodded with a smile and said, "I still understand this truth." This is already a very good result, and it is the best result to be able to leave these things behind. If it's the same as the Han family, then there's nothing. ”

"I also like money, but I also know that it can't always be in my hands. When I got back, I counted it and handed over the money. I also hope that Brother Huang Xian will have a lot of kind words in front of His Majesty. ”

When Huang Changzong heard this, he finally relieved himself, nodded and said, "This is no problem." But you still have to find someone to cooperate in this matter, I am not suitable, and I need to avoid suspicion. When I went back, I discussed with Gonggong Chen to see if I could ask them to send someone to cooperate with you in the inventory, and said that you didn't have enough manpower and needed help. ”

Cao Bang also understood that this was to let the imperial court supervise him, and he couldn't leave any handles. You can only ask for help from others, not ask others to supervise.

Cao Bang nodded and said with a smile: "Of course this is no problem. ”

"Okay, so be it." Huang Changzong said.

At the same time, inside the Reiharu-in Temple.

Zhu Youxiao moved his body for a moment, these days he stayed in Lichun Courtyard is indeed nephrite warm fragrance, and it is also a rare leisure time.

But Zhu Youxiao knew that it was time to move his body. At this time, if you continue to stay, I'm afraid it will be time for the outside to make trouble again.

Glancing at Chen Hong who came from outside, Zhu Youxiao said, "Get ready, leave Yangzhou today." Come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

Of course, this time I went out quietly, and when I came back, it was impossible to come back quietly, that is, the emperor came in person, the greeting that should be greeted, the panic that should be feared, and the confession that should be confessed.

When Zhu Youxiao was about to leave Yangzhou, the news in Yangzhou City had already spread.

First the Han family was arrested, and then the Ye family was arrested, which can be said to have completely shocked the entire Yangzhou City.

The middle and lower classes may not feel obvious, but they are already panicking. The topmost ones are now too scared to do it. Everyone was frantically searching for news, wanting to know what was going on.

Especially as the incident gradually became clear, the Yangzhou prefect was arrested, and Chen Zhenglin, the Yangzhou transfer envoy, was also arrested, and in the next few days, more than 40 administrators of all sizes in Yangzhou were arrested, and even the people of the Royal Academy were arrested.

Xu Guangqi, a cabinet scholar sent by the imperial court, was in charge, Chen Sihai, the secretary of general affairs, was arresting people everywhere, and Jinyiwei was also arresting people, and the people of Yangzhou City were panicking.

However, at this time, it is not without a move to stabilize people's hearts.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to Yangzhou in a big way, and began to recruit workers in Yangzhou City, raising the wages that were originally paid to the Han family and the Ye family, and giving unprecedented recruitment conditions.

What to eat official rice, what iron rice bowl and the like are also very noisy, in short, in Yangzhou City, there is a situation of ice and fire.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs also buys goods in Yangzhou on a large scale, and the price is also very high.

You know, the current Ministry of Internal Affairs is a behemoth that circulates throughout the country. With such logistics, it is more convenient and faster for them to do business, and all kinds of goods are lacking. Whether it is sold to North Korea or to the northwest, the profit is very, very large.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao didn't let the Internal Affairs Office march in a big way, but now he can.

In front of the capital of these internal affairs offices, the businessmen in Jiangnan were crushed without the slightest hesitation.

In addition to the collusion between officials and businessmen, except for those salt sellers, the business environment in Jiangnan can be said to be very poor. The monopoly effect caused by the salt merchants was very strong, and the small merchants everywhere could not do business at all; Even if it is a business, it is also a subsidiary of the salt merchant, and as long as the business of other industries makes money, the salt merchant will also intervene.

Now it's different, the Ministry of Internal Affairs only buys, and does not interfere in operations. After the fall of the salt merchants, the business environment in Jiangnan presented a very cheerful scene, and everyone felt that they could make a fortune.

At this time, Yangzhou City got another news that the emperor was coming to Yangzhou.

All of a sudden, the whole city of Yangzhou was surging, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

On the day Zhu Youxiao came to Yangzhou, Yangzhou City was opened, but it was still only possible to enter and not exit.

As for the supply of goods in Yangzhou City, there is naturally no problem. The Ministry of Internal Affairs mobilized ships and vehicles to send a large number of supplies in, and it was naturally no problem to supply Yangzhou City, as long as no one hoarded Juqi, it would be able to last for a long time.

Does anyone dare to hoard Juqi at this time?

The answer is no.

The fall of the Han family and the Ye family heralded the elimination of the entire upper echelons of Yangzhou. The big businessmen are no longer good, and no one dares to do such a thing as hoarding. Small and medium-sized businessmen are busy approaching the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wanting to get a piece of the pie from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' big orders.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was still acquiring the government, felt that the speed was too slow and wanted to change the customization.

All of a sudden, the shopping malls in Yangzhou City can be said to be surging.

After Zhu Youxiao entered Yangzhou City, he directly lived in the yamen of Yangzhou Prefect.

Others are scattered throughout the city of Yangzhou.

All of a sudden, the entire Yangzhou City became cautious.

The splashes on the street are gone, and the chaotic people are gone, and even the shouts of the Qinglou are much lower, and the casino has lost its original hustle and bustle. Even many casinos have chosen to close down, for fear that someone will find their heads.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about this at all.

After the emperor arrived in Yangzhou City, Jinyiwei and Tongzheng Si became more bold and began to arrest people.

In addition to Yangzhou City, the tentacles of Jinyiwei and Tongzheng Si have stretched out and begun to arrest people in the surrounding area.

And the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect also issued a notice and began to accept people's complaints, no matter who they sued or who they complained. After the interrogation of the charges, all punishments were severe, and there was no leniency.

If the property is encroached upon, it will be returned and compensated, regardless of who it is.

Zhu Youxiao made such a big deal in Yangzhou City, and Yangzhou City, which was originally panicked, calmed down a little under such a policy.

At the same time, all kinds of people who had been ambushed a long time ago also appeared at this time.

All kinds of things in the arrested families such as the Han family and the Ye family have been turned over, how they did evil, how they are the most evil, one by one, all of them have been listed.

This is what Zhu Youxiao used to buy people's hearts, to put it bluntly, now that he is in Yangzhou City, no one dares to make trouble. But once he leaves, maybe someone will make a rumor about him and say some nonsense.

This will affect the hearts of the people of Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao waited so long before he started, in order not only to sabotage, but also to maintain and build as much as possible.

Now that these salt merchants in Yangzhou City have been arrested, it is necessary to re-establish confidence in Yangzhou City.

If they lose trust in the imperial court, if they feel that the imperial court is arresting people for money, it will make the businessmen lose confidence and feel that the social environment is uneasy and the environment in Yangzhou is very poor, which is not good.

Zhu Youxiao is a person who talks about martial virtues, and he has long arranged for people to jump out at this time and trumpet that this is political correctness, and if anyone spreads rumors again, it will be plotting against him, telling right and wrong, and directly arresting people.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in Yangzhou City rose sharply.

For the people at the bottom, Zhu Youxiao's method is very simple, through the internal affairs government, recruit workers on a large scale, increase their wages, and let them have work and money. The emperor is here, and you are living better. Those people are bullying you and exploiting you all day long, but the emperor will not.

For the middle-level merchants, the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought the goods in their hands on a large scale, raising the purchase price, and giving them the money to do more and expand production.

For the businessmen at the top level, except for those who fiddle with salt, Zhu Youxiao's strategy is to strictly investigate and deal with them, convict them of any crimes, punish those who should be punished, and punish those who should be punished.

Then it is to contact and cooperate, support them, and give the same benefits. The purpose is to tell them that it's okay to do business obediently, but if they do it, they can die.

The atmosphere in Yangzhou City suddenly improved, and Zhu Youxiao also sang praises to him.

Those who were trampled on, needless to say, were naturally trampled into the mud.

Those officials who were arrested were the same, and all kinds of unjust, false and wrongful cases were turned over.

How to collude with salt merchants and how to oppress the people, all of them have been written.

After a few days of publicity, the emperor approved the beheading.

On the day of beheading, Yangzhou City can be said to be crowded with people, gathering a lot of people.

Zhu Youxiao was on the city gate of Yangzhou, looking at the bustling crowd below, with no expression on his face.

On the other side of the city wall, there are many people from the Chamber of Commerce in Yangzhou City.
