In the next two days, the salt merchants did not dare to trouble Xu Changqing again, and began to gradually accept the reality, and turned to make a big fuss about the upcoming auction share of the salt farm.

After all, they are not mortals, and at this time they have already touched some more critical information.

For example, at the dinner, Zhu Guobi explained that the situation of the salt field could be counted the day after tomorrow, but this statement must be a bit unreliable.

This means that as long as they move quickly, there is still a lot of room for manoeuvre, but they just need a little more blood.

Another example.

They have learned through various channels that the Shandong nephews of the Lunan Chamber of Commerce have really paid a lot of price in order to get this opportunity to enter the Lianghuai Salt Farm, and it is estimated that less than one million taels is about the same.

In the same way, Fan Yongdou's side is similar, and even more.

This shows that ~, not everyone who wants to participate in this feast can come in, and they must first 'buy tickets' with Xu Changqing.

But these salt merchants also understand that the biggest Haicheng gentry has not intervened so far, and there are really some strange clouds in it, Xu Changqing has left too many secret doors under this rule, and it is simply impossible to prevent it!

If they can't quickly defeat one side in a short period of time and make a gap, in case an external force 'borrows' in, then the price they have to pay is even more incalculable.

At this time, Yan Shenggong's side is obviously not very easy to do, after all, he is a descendant of a saint, and he has to save some face.

And Fan Yongdou is scheming, black and white, and has a very high status in the rivers and lakes, so it is not a good way to scold him.

The Zheng family only has half of the share, which is a suitable target, but the Zheng family's situation is a bit special.

Don't you see, when that Miss Zheng is favored, she really wants to point the finger at her~, which is similar to directly provoking Xu Changqing.

After seeing Xu Changqing's methods, the salt merchants had long been less courageous.

Over and over again, it was still the Lunan Chamber of Commerce that the Shandong nephews were easy to bully, so they became the target of the salt merchants.

But the Lunan Chamber of Commerce is not stupid.

By this time, they had already understood that Xu Changqing had done enough for them, and if they didn't succeed again, it would really not be Xu Changqing's fault.

These people also began to run around in a big way, raising cash, and preparing to fight with the two Huai salt merchants with bayonets.

……

Xu Yuan.

Although Xu Changqing didn't go out in the past two days, all this seemed to be impossible to escape his ears and eyes, and everything was under control.

And this is just Xu Changqing's first move!

Next, the garrison of the Model Army along the Lianghuai and Yangtze River, including various wharves and bayonets, as well as a series of affairs such as the 'Canal Management Committee' and the 'Daming Highway Bureau', are already in full swing.

Including the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, if you want to come, today and tomorrow, the official documents of the cabinet should come down.

In fact, Xu Changqing wanted the holy decree, after all, it was more reasonable and legal, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing still abandoned this idea.

First, Emperor Zhu Cihong of Hongzhi has not really stood on his feet, if he comes strongly, even if he doesn't say it on his face, he will definitely have resistance in his heart.

This can turn a good thing into a bad thing.

Even though Zhu Cihong is weak at this time, he is the Son of Heaven, but don't underestimate this legitimacy, there are still half of the Ming Dynasty, including the Northwest Region, many people also yearn for the imperial court, Xu Changqing also wants to give them face, it is impossible to eat alone, it is so ugly.

Second, if you really want to fix things in this way with a holy decree, it seems to be a violation of the rules.

Daming is a little collapsed in all aspects at this time, it is the time to re-create the rules, Xu Changqing, as the rule-maker among them, will definitely not be careless because of this little thing to lift a stone to hit his own feet, the pattern is too small.

The best way is for the cabinet to carry a pot, and the celebrant will assist and issue official documents, but it will not be approved!

Starting from Jiajingye, the system of the cabinet and the celebrant has been very mature. To put it simply, there is something to be reported to the cabinet first, and after the cabinet elders deliberate, report it to the celebrant eunuch, and after the chief eunuch of the celebrant eunuch reads it, screen it, and then report it to the Son of Heaven, and after the Son of Heaven sees it, he makes a decision, and the chief eunuchs of the celebrant will approve the red for the Son of Heaven, and then send it back to the cabinet, and then the cabinet will announce the official implementation of the world and form legal effect.

At this time, the cabinet issued a document, and the celebrant handed it over, but he didn't approve it, which is to follow this unspoken rule!

At this time, although Nanjing's imperial history, officials, and Qingliu were not harmed, they were still in a very active state, but the imperial court showed weakness, they were already poor and couldn't open the pot, and their wives and children were about to go hungry, so how could they not get along with this amount of silver, which must be extremely amazing?

Surely I won't come out and stir up trouble at such a time.

In other words, Xu Changqing's plan at this time almost completely connected the entire ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone stood in the same boat.

Even if there are really some eye-opening ones, there is no need for Xu Changqing to do it at all, and someone will help Xu Changqing clean things up.

Xu Changqing sent the latest information from Nanjing while drinking tea, and just this morning, a Hanlin Academy editor, a Dali Temple of Langzhong, has been assigned to Guizhou.

However, although the general trend is extremely smooth, there is one thing that makes Xu Changqing a headache and even a little uncomfortable......

Maybe it was because the things on the pagoda that night were a little too much, and Zheng Chagu's girl left quietly the next morning, leaving only a letter saying that she had returned to Anping, and she disappeared.

The letter was left early in the morning, but Zheng Sen, who was a tough man, was blind and didn't know what he was busy with, until he found out in the evening, Xu Changqing then sent someone to look for it, but he couldn't find it.

Aunt Zheng Cha's girl is quite decisive!

Xu Changqing didn't have to worry about Zheng Chagu's safety.

When she left, she also brought two mothers-in-law, three maids, and more than a dozen Zheng family guards, and Zheng Chagu was talented and intelligent, and she was backed by herself and the Zheng family, two big trees, ordinary people would definitely not be able to handle her.

Even if someone really dares to attack her, then, let alone Da Ming, the world is so big that there will be no place for him, not to mention the Ten Clans, I'm afraid it will be about the same.

Who would dare to take such a risk?

"Hey, what the fuck ......"

"I, am I too confident......

The flower hall is still the same, the scenery is exquisite and pleasant, but the familiar Yiren is long gone, but there is still her sweet breath in the air, and she happens to be smiling and flirting with herself......

Xu Changqing sighed deeply, a little decadent.

Now that I think about it, I am actually quite sorry for Aunt Zheng in this matter......

With Zheng Chagu's background, cultivation, and own quality, no matter who she marries, she will definitely be a proper wife, even if it is a heavenly family.

But at this time, I ......

Xu Changqing can only sigh that the meeting between the two is a bit untimely......

Sometimes, in life, the order of appearance is really too important......

In the process of getting along with the two of them these days, although Zheng Chagu has been laughing at herself and pitying herself, isn't it protecting herself?

If Xu Changqing only teased her with words, it would not be a big problem, but at this time, the matter has ......

"I have to find a good opportunity to talk to this girl......"

Xu Changqing rubbed Yin Tang with a headache, and was about to write a letter to the eldest brother of the first official to chat, when outside, suddenly there was a report from the pro-soldiers, Shi Kefa came over.

"Oh, please."

Xu Changqing's spirit suddenly perked up.

Shi Kefa's coming over means that the official documents of the cabinet should be about the same, and it must have brought more news from the Son of Heaven and Nanjing.

Xu Changqing also quickly let go of his children's affection and concentrated his energy on business.

After all, only he, Xu Changqing, has this towering plane tree, can he accommodate those delicate and sweet golden phoenixes!

"Master Hou, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your demeanor is better than before."

Maybe it was Xu Changqing's previous suggestion that made Shi Kefa find a new direction in life, this guy came over this time and was obviously much more energetic than before, quite energetic, full of energy, and even joked about Xu Changqing.

Just looking at Shi Kefa's attitude, Xu Changqing understood that the matter must have been settled, and he hurriedly smiled: "Elder Ge, you are a stumbling elbow." Come on, come on, please sit down, come on, serve tea. ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Shi Kefa simply told Xu Changqing about Nanjing's attitude towards this matter, which was almost the first smooth since the founding of the dynasty!

Whether it is the household department, the criminal department, the ritual department, the official department, or the celebrant supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, including the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, they are all green lights.

These people are really poor and afraid......

According to the statistics of several major departments of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Households, the total value of the Lianghuai Salt Farm is at least more than 10 million!

It was worth a few years ago, and it's bound to be even higher now!

Although Xu Changqing didn't say that he wanted this money, even if they gave away the share to Xu Changqing, they would definitely make a lot of money.

Not to mention, Xu Changqing is using the auction method this time, ten million taels is just a basic value, and the actual transaction value is probably at least doubled!

Such a huge and simply terrible income almost solved all the urgent needs of Daming at this time!

Including Shi Kefa, there is also money to really train the army, how can you not be happy?

Xu Changqing nodded with a smile after hearing this: "Elder Ge, this matter is still for you to worry about." ”

Shi Kefa laughed, as if he enjoyed Xu Changqing's compliment very much, he ran errands in person, and he really contributed a lot.

Of course, the merits are not to mention.

As long as this matter is done, his Shi Cabinet Department will be in the entire Ming officialdom, and the people's reputation will definitely go to a higher level!

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first capable minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Someone is not convinced?

That's fine!

You go and open up 20 million taels of silver to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court!

"Master Hou, what's going on here, I'm not confused. Hou Ye, a certain person actually can't say beautiful words, but Hou Ye's kindness is remembered in his heart! ”

Shi Kefa was not stupid, and his eyes were blazing and he said to Xu Changqing.

The two smiled and drank a few sips of tea, Shi Kefa slapped his head, and said hurriedly: "Look at this brain, I almost forgot about the important thing!" Command, the Marquis of Haicheng receives the order! ”

Xu Changqing suddenly frowned slightly.

In this state, although Shi Kefa is only a summoner, according to the rules, Xu Changqing has to kneel on the ground and respectfully kneel and bow to Shi Kefa, who represents the Son of Heaven.

Seeing Xu Changqing frowning, Shi Kefaden also came to his senses, and hurriedly added: "Master Hou, the Holy Lord is specially gracious, you don't have to kneel down to accept the order." ”

Xu Changqing's face was soothed, and he stood up slowly and methodically, and hugged his fists in the direction of Nanjing.

Shi Kefa also read Zhu Cihong's dictate aloud with relief.

It's just that......

Zhu Cihong seems to be much more sensible than Shi Kefa, almost a red fruit patting Xu Changqing's sycophants, treating Xu Changqing as an elder.

When Shi Kefa finished reading the oracle, his old face was also a little red, damn it, the Son of Heaven is doing this, and he is still holding it, it's really stupid......

Fortunately, Xu Changqing didn't mind, otherwise, he would really be difficult to explain.

After going through the process, the two sat down, and Shi Kefa also bluntly euphemistically said to Xu Changqing, just now he was too impulsive and inconsiderate, please Xu Changqing Qinghan.

Xu Changqing smiled and said that it was okay, but his face began to be solemn: "Elder Ge, although the matter is settled now, Elder Ge must understand one thing!" In this matter, I, Xu Changqing, will not participate in the implementation! The measurement and statistical work of the salt field is about to come out. At that time, I still have to bother the elder to keep an eye on it personally! ”

Shi Kefa nodded heavily, his resolute face was full of solemnity, "Master Hou, don't worry, during this time, a certain will be nailed to this Yangzhou!" If you don't deal with things, you will never go home! ”
