"We're going to open a salt farm!"

"Isn't the government shutting down the salt works equivalent to cutting off our way of life?"

"Dongchang is too domineering, close the salt farm, so how can we continue, do you have to die in front of you for our family!"

Walking up to the wall, the two fanzi's eyes widened.

Seeing Fanzi's shocked expression, Li Eel's face, which was still full of honesty, instantly showed a worrying evil smile.

Outside the wall, at least hundreds of people from various coastal places gathered, and in the past, the sale of illicit salt had always been done in secret, but with the implementation of the new salt law by the imperial court, it was explicitly prohibited, and now it has been completely brought to the fore.

When the only means of survival is threatened, even ordinary people will rise up and fight desperately to defend it.

As a result, they are easily lured and used by some people with ulterior motives.

"What should I do?"

"How do I know, this, these Diao people, really can't be reversed, the court will give them a good mission so that they don't do it, and they have to do this kind of trafficking!"

At first, the two fans suspected that it was Li Eel who stirred up public resentment, but now it seems that these people did it spontaneously, because their grievances against themselves are visible!

"Open a salt farm!"

"Repeal the New Salt Law!"

Looking at the coastal people who were constantly approaching the wall, the two fans invariably thought of an incident that happened in Suzhou in the first year of the Apocalypse.

At that time, the imperial court increased tariffs and set up a supervision department to manage it, but it was in the Suzhou Supervision Department and General Administration that people died, and Wei Zhongxian's own nephew died tragically at the Suzhou wharf.

Although it was later found out that this was the maritime leader Li Dan who was a hindrance and spread rumors, this incident still makes the fans linger.

Once these people go crazy, don't say that their two horsemen are this Haiyang salt farm, and they will all be smashed and destroyed!

Thinking of these *** people taking a few steps back, their eyes showed timidity.

"How about it, two factory masters, the little one is not wrong, right?" Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Eel stood up with a smile and said:

"At this time, it is still not advisable to persecute too urgently, if you provoke these coastal people, they can do anything."

"My Haiyang salt farm, but three hundred salt guards, if it really makes trouble, the villain's own safety cannot be saved, and the two factory masters are even more..."

Li Eel wanted to speak and stopped, and the two fans could naturally hear the meaning of the words.

What he meant was that these coastal people could rebel at any time, and once they rushed into the salt works, all of them would have to follow suit!

"Three hundred salt dings, the amount is really less...", a fan said, hearing the increasingly loud cries outside, he took a few steps back, and arched his hand:

"In that case, we won't stay longer!"

In addition, he also left a sentence and left in a hurry.

"Slow down!" Li Eel watched the fans get on the horse and run away, and a sneer appeared on his face again, looking left and right, and said:

"Fanzi wants to check Lao Tzu's salt account, how can it be so easy!"

"Tell me to go down and open a salt farm!"

"During this time, all the salt farms under the name of my Li family have to sell salt at half of the official price, and tell them to spread the word to the outside world, the more widely this news spreads, the more it will not be able to do this new salt law!"

"Also, tell the people who collect salt goods below to hurry up, and the people in the East Factory are not miscellaneous fish and rotten shrimp! If you get it for a while, you can't get it for a lifetime! ”

The leader of the salt ding said with a flattering smile: "The owner is really wise, in this way, the poor people who sell salt everywhere will get the favor of the owner, and even if the court has a decree, they will be the first to take the knife for us." ”

Li Yi smiled coldly, noncommittal.

......

Penglai City, where the Yamen of the Governor of Denglai is located.

At the entrance of the General Administration of the Jiaodong Supervision Division, four Fanzi Zhengda Malaysian Golden Dao stood guard, but the street in front of them was empty.

The flow of people outside the superintendent was much sparser than in the past, and since the news of the new salt law implemented by the imperial court came, Fanzi's reputation became even more stinky.

As soon as the superintendents appeared on the street, they would be pointed at from afar, and although the people did not dare to insult them in person, they were also annoying.

This was originally the benevolent government of the imperial court to summarize the salt law, but why did it become the situation it is today?

As for the fans, they really can't say it.

Obviously, he has done good deeds, and his words and deeds are standing up for the people, but this investigation of local tyrants and corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen is a great good move to promote the reform of the salt law, but it has been collectively resisted by all forces.

This is not over, and now even the people are sneering at them, and they can't wait to attack them in groups, this situation is really unexpected.

However, the only consolation of the superintendent was that there was a unanimous opinion within the imperial court.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse reaffirmed his attitude at the previous court meeting that the salt law must be reformed, and the chaotic situation in the coastal state capitals must also be brought under control.

With the blessing of the imperial power, the fans felt at ease.

The two fanzi, who rushed back from Haiyang, broke into the General Office of the Superintendent in a hurry, and soon after, there was an angry shout in the main hall.

"Bang!"

Gan Huan, the governor of Jiaodong, slapped the case and said:

"It's too presumptuous, selling illicit salt is an illegal act of disrupting the government, and they are already very aware of the people's feelings in the past, and now they are coercing them to open a salt field again, where is the law of the court!"

Gan Huan, Jinyi Weibei Town, Fusi Qianhu, Dongchang stall head, because of his outstanding arrest in Beijing, recommended by Wei Zhongxian, he was appointed as the governor of Jiaodong at the end of the second year of the Apocalypse.

According to the usual practice, many of the fans of the East Factory are from the North and South Towns Fu Division, and when they are in the East Factory, they often also have the official body of Jinyi Wei, but they no longer take care of the affairs of the department.

At this time, a hundred households said:

"Could it be Li Eel's trick, the matter in Suzhou Li Dan provoked public opinion, so that Wei Liangqing died at the dock, and now it is still vivid, and it must be guarded against!"

The other hundred households also nodded in agreement and said:

"That's right, these heroes have been based in Jiaodong for many years, and their power is deep-rooted and intertwined, and now they are twisted into a rope to fight against the salt law!"

"Once there is such a big chaos as a rebellion, the superintendent will be implicated!"

Gan Wan nodded, and said with a gloomy face:

"What you say is reasonable, you can't be too hasty in dealing with the coastal people, you need to send secret agents to the coastal areas to find out the truth!"

"Order the local superintendents to open the Haiyang Salt Farm, Fushan Salt Farm, Yu'er Town Salt Farm, and Ningjin Salt Farm as places for coastal people to sell salt."

"Immediately report this news to the factory and ask him to get an idea, it seems that the implementation of this salt law is not small!"

That night, a Ti rode out of Penglai and arrived in Beijing.

......

The resistance to the implementation of the new salt law was also something Wei Zhongxian did not expect.

Not only in Jiaodong, but also in the coastal areas of Lianghuai and Fujian, there are also the Zheng family and many maritime forces, and the situation is more complicated, and even Dongchang is not capable of doing it.

Three days later, Wei Zhongxian looked at the secret report from the General Administration of the Supervision Department of various places that had just been sent, and his face full of old folds became more and more gloomy.

Fu Yingxing, the head of the big stall, hung his head and waited aside, it was rare to see the factory company have such an emotion, and he didn't dare to say anything at will.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian got up, and because it was still a little cold in the current Jingshi, he put on a black coat and walked out of the mansion with a secret report.

Looking at the direction, I went to the palace.
