Chapter 121: It's Time to Work
"We're going to figure it out!" Li Dongyang was the first to speak: "The impeachment must be stopped, and the investigation of other salt farms must also be put forward as soon as possible, and the Shouning Hou side cannot be allowed to take the lead, and the other is about the Yangzhou salt field case, let people write a letter to support strict investigation and punishment, so as not to disappoint Your Majesty, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"In this way, I am afraid that many people are dissatisfied with us, and many people are already forcing us to express their position." Xie Qian said with some resentment on the side.
"What is there to say, what have these people done, don't you know what you don't know? For so many years, the Yandao Yamen has been rotten from top to bottom, the daily needs of the imperial court are insufficient, these people are full of private pockets, how long has Liu Qi been in the position of Yangzhou transfer envoy? Five years, less than two terms, the result? Fished two million taels, what about other people's? Xie Qian's temper was a little hot, and he couldn't help but say on the side.
"No matter how much love is, if you can bear them, you will impeach us too!" After saying this, Xie Qian returned to his seat as soon as he gave up his hand.
Looking at Xie Qian, who was leaving, Li Dongnan smiled bitterly: "Gong Liu, Gong Xie's temper is like this, let him dissipate his anger!" “
Liu Jian nodded, and then said: "I also know that what Gong Xie said makes sense, when things come to this point, there is nothing we can do, I hope those people understand!" If you don't understand, we can't help it, let's go to the book and check other salt farms first! Saying that, Liu Jian shook his head and walked to his seat a little helplessly.
It's not easy to do a bachelor's degree in the cabinet!
The situation in the capital has changed abruptly, there are a lot of messy things, Yangzhou here seems to be calm, although people are being arrested everywhere these days, but basically they are almost caught, the big households in Yangzhou City have been copied more than three percent, the whole Yangzhou has been swept over, the big salt merchants have all entered, the entire Yangzhou market is depressed, and there is a feeling of rumors.
It is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to ignore such a situation, Yangzhou City cannot be chaotic, not only Yangzhou cannot be chaotic, but someone must take over the business of salt merchants.
Putting down the account book in his hand, Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "Go and find Yang Lian to the palace!" “
Zhu Houzhao naturally said this to Liu Jin, as for the account books around Zhu Houzhao, this is not the account book of any corrupt official receiving gifts, but the account books of Yangzhou in these days, and the property of each family is recorded in these account books. This time in Yangzhou, more than 14 million taels of silver money alone were copied out, and there were more than 300 shops.
The land is even more, reaching more than 13,000 acres, these people are really rich and powerful, looking a lot, but they have only copied dozens of houses.
"That's a lot of money!" Closing the account book, Zhu Houzhao stood up and shook his head helplessly, this is just a city in Yangzhou, you must know that these salt merchants in Yangzhou are all behind them, but Zhu Houzhao just cleared their property in Yangzhou, arrested the principal, and continued to pursue it backwards, Zhu Houzhao is not ready to do it.
First, it is too difficult, and secondly, this era is a family-style business mode, once the recovery is too involved, you must know that behind these people there are Jin merchants, Zhejiang merchants, and Hui merchants, once they are chased, it is easy to make trouble.
Third, the salt road can not be chaotic, it is necessary to restore order as soon as possible, once the scope is expanded, it will cause a very big panic, Yangzhou City has begun to be depressed, if it is not disposed of, it will spread to Nanzhili, spread to the entire Jiangnan. The current Jiangnan is the top priority of the imperial court, and there can be no problems, but Zhu Houzhao is still a little unwilling.
"Come back next time!" Zhu Houzhao could only comfort himself and said: "Leeks can't be cut all at once, right!" ”
When Yang Lian walked in from outside, she saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of her family was looking up at the moon, so she didn't dare to disturb, and hurriedly stood aside and waited.
Glancing at Yang Lian, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "It's not a short time to come to Yangzhou, this is the first time to see the moon in Yangzhou, it's pretty good-looking, the moonlit night of the Twenty-four Bridge, there is a chance to take a look!" Saying that, Zhu Houzhao turned around and walked inside, and said to Yang Lian: "Things are going on here in Yangzhou, and the palace is going to go to the Lianghuai Salt Farm next." “
Zhu Houzhao's second focus is naturally to be placed on Lianghuai, which needs to be sorted out, and it needs to be sorted out on a large scale.
"Yangzhou will be handed over to you, now that many big salt merchants have been arrested, the preparations you made before can be used." Zhu Houzhao continued: "Let Shou Ninghou and their stewards as soon as possible, they should all find good people, right?" ”
The nobles and relatives led by Shou Ninghou only wanted to find medium-sized salt merchants, and they had encountered a little difficulty before, but now they were very smooth, and these salt merchants were frightened. Although I don't know how the arrested salt merchants were dealt with in the end, who can stand the arrest of people and raid their homes, in such a situation, Xungui is naturally a lot happier.
"Deal with the shops, boats and transportation channels that captured those salt merchants as soon as possible, so that Yangzhou can be restored as soon as possible, and the workers on the docks will not be without food."
"These let those salt merchants take out the money to buy, and those who have no cash will write an IOU, and wait until they sell salt to make money in the future." Zhu Houzhao continued to instruct: "Let the nobles behind the salt merchants give them a guarantee, this matter must be done as soon as possible, understand?" ”
Yang Lian hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness, the slave understands!" “
Nodding, Zhu Houzhao continued: "Yangzhou this time you are too eye-catching, don't go to Dongchang after you go back, otherwise you are afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat, as the palace said, go to the Huanyi Bureau, the eighth bureau is now under the management of the palace, and the Huanyi Bureau will be handed over to you." Don't worry, the future Huanyi Bureau will be different from the current Huanyi Bureau. ”
"Yes, Your Highness!" Yang Lian continued to say that Yang Lian really didn't value this at this time.
Unlike most eunuchs, Yang Lian knows very well what the foundation of her life is, that is, the prince's favor, no matter what the prince asks him to do, where to do it, and only by doing things well can he get ahead, and now is not the time to come out by himself. Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and those grand dukes in the palace are all doing well, and they can't take their turn, what are you fighting for?
Through this incident, Yang Lian knows more about His Royal Highness the Prince, turning her hands into clouds and covering her hands into rain, His Royal Highness the Prince's calculations are so deep that they are simply moisturizing things silently, and when you find out, everything is too late.
Zhu Houzhao is very satisfied with Yang Lian, this is a person who knows how to do things in advance and retreat, these two points are very rare!
"Alright, let's do it!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and then said, "Don't let this palace down!" “
Back at the yamen of the guarding eunuch in Yangzhou, Yang Lian directly instructed: "Chen stall head, find all those in charge, it's been so many days, it's time to work!" ”
