Chapter 526: Hui Shang panicked
There is something wrong with that. Even if there is collusion between the two sides, it is impossible to be on call.
Looking at Xu Xianchun, Han Qi's face did not change. He now knew that he was being targeted, but he didn't believe that Xu Xian innocently dared to do anything to him.
Han Qi raised his head and said, "What do you want to do?" Arrest me? Or arrest the entire Han family. ”
Han Qi looked at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile: "If you have any requirements, it's just to talk about conditions." ”
This kind of thing is not unprecedented, and Han Qi can be said to be familiar with it.
These people do things every day, sometimes just to prove their abilities. So now Xu Xianchun came to him to talk about the conditions, and it was not too surprising.
Xu Xianchun glanced at Han Qi and shook his head directly, not going to say anything to this Han Qi in front of him, because there was really nothing to say, and the thoughts of the two sides were not on the same channel at all.
People are still so high, how can they color themselves? It is necessary to completely knock them down and let them understand their own situation, otherwise these people will not let go of their lofty posture.
"Arrest someone." Xu Xianchun glanced at Han Qi, shook his head, turned around and walked outside.
Xu Xianchun is going to go outside to keep an eye on it, Jinyiwei has already started to arrest people, everyone in the Han family will be arrested, and the store will also be seized.
In such a situation, they have time to waste here. Originally, I just wanted to come over to meet Han Qi, but now I have no interest in it.
Behind Xu Xianchun, Jinyi Wei swarmed in and directly took down Han Qi.
Han Qi was stunned, he never thought that Xu Xianchun would dare to arrest himself here.
Han Qi raised his head directly and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the two brocade guards next to him had already made a move.
When the Jinyi guards arrested people, there were a lot of things that they shouted indiscriminately, and they were already very familiar with this kind of thing, and if they didn't want you to shout, you wouldn't be able to shout.
One of the brocade guards reached out and punched Han Qi directly in the stomach. This punch can be said to be swift and powerful, almost knocking Han Qi in the back.
Han Qi directly bent over, panting heavily, his eyes almost bulging out.
And after that, the person next to him pinched Han Qi's chin directly, and the means were very fast and powerful.
At this moment, Han Qi's jaw dropped.
In this case, it was impossible for Han Qi to speak, and it was even more impossible to shout, so he could only be dragged out by the two brocade guards.
The rest of the room didn't dare to move.
When Huang Changzong saw this scene, he shook his head directly, turned around and walked outside.
Huang Changzong came here to take a look this time, firstly, to see if there was anything he could help with, or if he needed anything, he could communicate with Jinyiwei; The second is to see this scene.
Of course, this is not what Huang Changzong himself wants to see, but the emperor wants him to see it.
Soon Huang Changzong will take over the salt business, and the benefits in this can be imagined. Let yourself see what will happen to them, it is probably also a deterrent.
Huang Changzong was indeed scared enough. It is estimated that when entering the Jinyi Guard Yamen, these people will be even more miserable.
Glancing at Chen Zhenglin next to him, Huang Changzong scratched his head.
At this time, Chen Zhenglin naturally didn't have to pretend, and he was also escorted out.
It was not Jinyiwei who arrested Chen Zhenglin, but the people from the General Administration. These people also move very quickly.
It's just that Chen Zhenglin is much more cooperative than Han Qi, and he didn't mean to speak at all, so he was escorted out directly.
Chen Zhenglin knows his own situation better.
Chen Zhenglin has already thought about it in the past few days and is mentally prepared. So when he was arrested today, he didn't resist at all, and followed the people from the General Administration Department and left.
At the same time, the entire city of Yangzhou became a pot of porridge.
First the city defense was taken over, and then countless soldiers appeared in various places, these people were strong, well-equipped, and sharp-eyed, and they knew at a glance that they were not soldiers from Yangzhou City.
These soldiers were very fast and soon occupied all corners of the city. Since entering Yangzhou City, they have been preparing for it.
In this regard, after several years of training, Qi Yuanfu is already a person who can stand alone.
After Qi Yuanfu entered the city, he checked the drawings and arrangements, such as where to arrange people in the city, how to pass messages to each other, which position needed to be garrisoned, and which location needed to be contacted.
Everything was ready, and two days ago, these people had stepped on the points separately, and as long as Yangzhou was out, these people would be able to enter the venue immediately and quickly occupy the place they wanted to occupy in advance.
And the fact is just like what Qi Yuanfu did, Yangzhou City was completely taken over, the city gate was also blocked, and soldiers wearing armor could be seen everywhere on the street.
This made people panic, and many people simply closed the door and shrank into their homes. This scene makes people a little unclear, so they all think that Yangzhou City is going to make trouble again.
At the same time, arrests were carried out.
Jin Yiwei began to raid the Han family, from the fields to the shops, and all the people in the family were arrested.
At the same time, the General Administration Department also began to arrest people, but they arrested officials.
Xu Guangqi and others also appeared, and they cooperated with Zhu Youxiao very tacitly, and soon took over the administrative work of Yangzhou City.
With Xu Guangqi and them, they can ensure that the entire Yangzhou City runs smoothly and there will be no problems.
All of a sudden, the entire Yangzhou City entered a very fast rhythm, which made people a little incomprehensible.
But there are also smart people.
At this time, there were many people gathered in the Huizhou Hall.
In the past two years, business has developed greatly, and a lot of guild halls have been built in various places, which are basically funded by local businessmen, and then invited local businessmen to do things together, making something similar to a local merchant gang.
With the funds and strength, they will build such guilds all over the country, and major cities will have their guilds.
In addition to providing convenience for merchants, guilds will also provide convenience for scholars; Responsible for contacting locals in other places, everyone huddles together to warm each other, and even many officials will be co-opted by them; Doing business with each other can also communicate with each other.
If in a guild hall, you do business and pit your fellow villagers, then your reputation will really be stinky, and no one will do business with you anymore.
If you want to do business in another country, people will also contact the guild where your hometown is located to get your news. Without the guarantee of your hometown's guild association, your business can be said to be difficult to do.
In such a situation, the importance of guilds and merchant gangs is reflected.
Huizhou Hall is one of the best halls in the Ming Dynasty; The Huizhou business gang is also a very, very high-ranking business gang in the Ming Dynasty. There are people who are stronger than them, but there are not many.
Originally, the Jin merchants had a thick foundation, but a few years ago in Zhangjiakou folded more than half, and Yangzhou has been severely suppressed by Hui merchants in recent years, so the current momentum is much less than before.
With the salt business, the Huizhou merchant gang became even more powerful.
In addition to the local Huizhou people, there are some other people who do the salt business, such as the Ye family in Shanyang.
The Ye family in Shanyang was not very successful in the years of its rise, but its strength was very strong.
The reason is also very simple, Shanyang's Ye family ancestor has a household book.
Originally, the head of the household was not a big official, after all, in this world, how many cabinet scholars are there? If every big official's family wants to do such a big business, there is not so much business for them in this world.
But the Ye family is different, they are from Shanyang, that is, Huai'an, which was later the residence of the Caoyun Governor Yamen, which shows how important Shanyang's geographical location is.
The ancestor of the Ye family was Ye Heng, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was also when Ye Qi was in the Hubu Shangshu that he successfully persuaded Emperor Hongzhi to change the imperial court's grain opening to silver opening.
As a result, the Hui merchants took advantage of the geography in the two Huai. It rose in an instant; And the Ye family also took advantage of the situation to become bigger in Huai'an and became a very famous salt merchant.
Of course, the Ye family is still worse than the Han family. However, the Ye family also has its own advantages, and they are in Huai'an, the nest of the governor of Caoyun, where they are operating in depth. Although officials always change, the Ye family does not change.
The reforms Ye Qi made back then seemed to be for the imperial court, but in fact, all the salt merchants at that time contributed to it, and some people even bribed Zhang Heling, the elder brother of Empress Zhang at that time.
At that time, Nayin Kaizhong had become the fundamental interest of all salt merchants, and everyone was promoting this matter, and it was indeed done.
Ye Qi presided over the reform, and his status is now very high, and his reputation in officialdom is very good.
After all, when you get benefits, you always have to publicize them, and even Emperor Hongzhi at that time was a benevolent monarch who was diligent and loved the people.
It's just that in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, Emperor Hongzhi is not as good as Emperor Jiajing. As far as Emperor Hongzhi's reform of the salt administration is concerned, it is directly a big pit, and he has not climbed out until now.
At this time, in the Huizhou Hall, Ye Chi of the Ye family was sitting here, boredly playing with his fingers, as if there was something particularly interesting on his fingers.
This made the people around them frown dissatisfiedly.
However, everyone can't afford to offend Ye Chi, people are holding Caoyun, if this makes you some trouble, you won't have a place to cry.
In such a situation, everyone can only let it go. What's more, this time I found Ye Chi over, and I thought of borrowing his strength.
On the main seat, Cao Bang, the head of the Cao family, sat there expressionlessly, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone's faces.
At this time, Cao Bang was very worried, and even very scared.
Like many salt merchants, he was terrified.
