Looking at this recital, Zhu Youzhu sighed a little helplessly, of course he saw the meaning of this recital, this was the means of the civil officials, or the idea of several scholars in the cabinet. Obviously, Shou Ninghou's side made several cabinet scholars feel nervous, but what should they do? It's a difficult thing to decide.

If you don't agree with this recital, then you will strictly inspect the other salt works and put all the salt works under the name of Xun Xun and Xun Qi.

In this way, it will cause division, which is not conducive to unity, Zhu Youzhu pondered for a while, picked up the pen and criticized the red on the fold, which can be regarded as agreeing with the idea of the cabinet. After a while, Zhu Youzhu put down the red pen and sighed lightly, not knowing if he was doing it right or not, and what his son would think, but this was indeed conducive to eliminating disputes between the court.

Once this recital continues, the controversy over the Lianghuai Salt Works can be put to rest, and there will be no resistance in the court.

There were many disputes in the court, but as long as the opinions of the cabinet and the opinions of the emperor were unified, it was useless for others to have any opinions.

Yangzhou.

Zhu Hou glanced at the neatly packed Qincha convoy behind him, and said expressionlessly: "Let's go!" ”

The matter in Yangzhou has come to an end for Zhu Houzhao, what should be caught, what should be copied, as for the rest of the question of how to judge, Zhu Houzhao is not ready to interfere, this problem is handed over to the bigwigs of the court to have a headache! Starting from the calculation of the salt policy, after such a long time, it is just to take a Yangzhou and two Huai salt farms.

Zhu Houzhao also knew that there were actually people behind this, such as the bigwigs of the Jin merchants, such as the bigwigs of the Zhejiang merchants, and the bigwigs of the Hui merchants, but Zhu Houzhao was not ready to chase them.

From beginning to end, Zhu Houzhao did not forget his original intention, to get back the salt farm, to get back the profits of the salt administration, once he began to pursue these people, he put the cart before the horse. With the matter of Yangzhou, it is enough, what Zhu Houzhao has to do now is to go to the Lianghuai Salt Farm, and then return to Beijing, it is estimated that the capital has also come to an end, after all, the capital has not sent any news to himself so far, it should be the father who has done it.

The prince left Yangzhou, and the affairs of Yangzhou were handed over to Yang Lian to finish, and in the face of Yang Lian again, Yangzhou did not dare to underestimate this little Yang father-in-law.

Now Yang Lian's status in Yangzhou is not to say that it is not much worse than stopping children's night crying, and the name of the gelding dog has long been on the head.

Lianghuai Salt Field, also known as Northern Jiangsu Salt Field. It is mainly found along the Yellow Sea coast north of the Gaoguan River in Jiangsu. Because it is in the north and south of the mouth of the Huai River, it is called the two Huai salt fields. Among them, the one north of the Huai River is called the Huaibei Salt Field, and the one south of the Huai River is called the Huainan Salt Field. When it comes to the Lianghuai Salt Farm, there is a place that cannot be bypassed, and this place is Yancheng.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng led the salt people to revolt and established the Great Zhou regime, which lasted for 14 years.

Zhu Yuanzhang "Hongwu dispersed" also known as "red scarf dispersed", Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Hangzhou and other places more than 4,000 landless farmers moved to Jiangbei, part of the settlement in Yancheng, although Yancheng is only a county governance, but the prosperity here is far beyond the general state capital, the reason is also very simple, just because of one word, that is, salt, a word that runs through the lifeblood of the empire.

Naturally, the affairs of Yangzhou cannot be hidden, although Yancheng has not been involved in anything, but many people here have begun to tremble.

When the prince's Qincha guards set foot in Yancheng, there was a strange atmosphere in the entire Yancheng, and the magistrate of Yancheng was even more frightened and fell ill directly. After Zhu Houzhao came to Yancheng, the magistrate couldn't even take over the car, and he was lying on the bed and dying for a short time, this doesn't need to be checked, this Yancheng county magistrate is definitely not clean, don't think about it.

After arranging the accommodation, Zhu Houzhao brought Mu Bin here, Mu Bin did a good job in Yangzhou, and Zhu Houzhao naturally wanted to take him with him.

Mu Bin also has a hard time and can't say it, things in Yangzhou have to be done, and Yancheng is the same, anyway, he has to do it anyway, Mu Bin simply let it go, anyway, at this time, why make both ends unpleased? The errand was done beautifully, the prince rejoiced, His Majesty rejoiced, and as for the rest, it was out of control, who cared if they died.

"See Your Highness!" Mu Bin walked into the house, bowed and saluted, for his Royal Highness the Prince, Mu Bin still couldn't figure out the depth.

In fact, since the prince went out of Beijing to Yangzhou, it seems that he has not done anything, he seems to have just come and walked, everything seems to have been arranged, just arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou transfer envoy Liu Qi knelt, and the bamboo tube poured beans to betray Yangzhou up and down, and all the black pots were carried up, and then it was himself.

From beginning to end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't do anything, and after a few days in Yangzhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell ill, but Mu Bin still didn't dare to underestimate His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Mu Qing is here? Sit! Zhu Houzhao greeted Mu Bin with a smile, and after Mu Bin sat down, Zhu Houzhao said: "A few days ago, I asked Mu Qing to check the situation in Yancheng, how is the investigation?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Jinyiwei has secretly carried out the touch and row, the salt field has also been touched, the entire Lianghuai salt field from top to bottom is rotten, the salt field ambassador, the storehouse, and the small officials, all profit from it, the illegal salt is overflowing, and the stove households are deducting the sale of private salt, and the minister thinks that he wants to change the appearance of the Lianghuai salt field, unless the salt field is completely cleaned from top to bottom."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, these things don't need to be checked, and Zhu Houzhao didn't come here for this.

The ambassadors and treasury officials of the Lianghuai Salt Farm, officials of this level, let alone let Zhu Houzhao personally take care of it, they can't see Zhu Houzhao if they want to.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Mu Bin, and then asked, "Who has the most power?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, Huai'an Ye Family!" Mu Bin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "We also checked the Ye family in Yangzhou, copied their garden, and arrested their people, but the roots of the Ye family are in Huai'an, in the salt field. Among the salt farms, nearly half of the salt farm ambassadors are from the Ye family. ”

"Who is guilty the most?" Zhu Houzhao asked again.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Huaibei T-shaped salt farm, the salt field ambassador Ye Li, he is a distant relative of the Ye family, relying on the power of the Ye family to run rampant and domineering, bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil, he is the person who has done the most evil in this generation." Mu Bin knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted someone to stand up, so he pushed Ye Li out without hesitation.

Glancing at Mu Bin, Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart, not to mention the rest, Mu Bin is really good at doing things, he can do whatever you want for you. Nodding, Zhu Houzhao said: "Then tomorrow I will go to the Huaibei T-shaped salt field, and the palace will meet the first villain in the two Huai for a while." ”
