Glancing up at Shou Ninghou, seeing the grievances on his face, Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled, and then said: "The mouth is on others, how do people say that it is other people's business, let's do it ourselves with a clear conscience." Saying that, Zhu Houzhao put the last piece of meatloaf into his mouth, and then took the silk handkerchief handed by Gu Da and wiped his mouth.

"Yangzhou and Lianghuai Salt Farms are going well, and you have to hurry up with other salt farms!" Zhu Houzhao picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm tea before speaking.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care at all about Zhang Heling's criticism, even if there was no Yangzhou and Lianghuai, wouldn't Zhang Heling be criticized? That's impossible, you have taken so many benefits, how can people not hate you, how can they not criticize you, not to mention others, just the benefits of the two Huai salt farms are you who have received it!

"I'm afraid we won't be able to interfere with other salt farms!" Zhang Heling listened to Zhu Houzhao's words, and said with some hesitation: "Now the people who are investigating the other salt farms are all people from the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, so we can't say anything." I sent people over, not to mention trying to meddle in the salt merchant's business, maybe they will be arrested directly. “

Glancing at Zhang Heling, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Don't we have a salt and iron division?" finally got Qi You to that position, not to let him occupy the seat and not do things. ”

Zhang Heling was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What are you going to do?" “

"Let him have a script, the content is the reform of the salt administration, the imperial court issues a license to sell salt, all salt merchants with the permission of the salt administration can engage in the sale of salt, others are not allowed, the sale of illegal salt without a license is all treated as private salt, this matter Ma Shan will do it, and then you can send people to other salt farms to receive people."

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhang Heling patted his head and hurriedly said: "I have forgotten all the things that have made a mess these days, and such an important thing." “

"Tell Qi You that if this matter is done, the Salt and Iron Division will be the real Salt and Iron Division, and when Tong Zhong retires in a few years, the position of the head of the household department can be contested." Zhu Houzhao added, of course, this is painting a big cake, Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything to death, just said that he could fight, for Qi You, this is enough.

"Salt merchants spend money to buy licenses from the imperial court, don't forget this, this money is for the state treasury."

Zhang Heling patted his chest and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, I know about this matter, and I will let Qi You come to the house at night to discuss when I go back." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "In addition to this matter, there is another matter, but I have to ask first, what is the relationship between Shen Lu of the General Administration Department and you?" This time he has to be reused, and if he is not useful, then he will have to be replaced. ”

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's serious face, Zhang Heling was stunned in his heart, he didn't know why his prince's nephew transferred the topic to Shen Lu of the General Administration, although he didn't understand, but Zhang Heling still hurriedly said: "Available, Shen Lu is a person who dares to gamble, is very decisive, and is not afraid of offending people, if His Royal Highness has anything to do, just give orders." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded lightly, Zhang Heling's answer was not beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectations, Shen Lu was obviously not a person who was willing to be mediocre.

Although the political envoy is ranked in Jiuqing, his status is far behind, Shen Lu saw that he had no hope of promotion, so he decisively took refuge in Zhang Heling, which was a very decisive decision. You must know that you must first be shameless when you take refuge in Zhang Heling, and the reputation of taking refuge in your relatives is not good, not to mention that Zhang Heling's reputation is already very stinky, and secondly, you must be determined to die.

If he takes refuge in Zhang Heling, it means that he has broken with the mainstream civil and official group, and ordinary people do not have the courage and determination.

From this point of view, Shen Lu's ambition is not small, he has a great desire for power, he wants power, and he dares to gamble for power, such a person is exactly what Zhu Houzhao needs.

"That's okay, since he can be trusted, then this thing can be done!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and then said: "I have a document here for you to give to Shen Lu, and he will know what to do!" Saying that, Zhu Houzhao handed a document to Shou Ninghou, not that Zhu Houzhao didn't want Zhang Heling to pass on the word, but that Zhu Houzhao was afraid that Zhang Heling would relay it crookedly.

On such an important matter, Zhu Houzhao still didn't dare to believe Zhang Heling, so he simply wrote an essay.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to hand over the documents he wrote himself to Zhang Heling, and then let him hand them over to Shen Lu, the prince's handwriting is too meaningful, and if people know that this matter was planned by the prince, it will be a big trouble. After Zhu Houzhao finished writing, he asked Gu Dayong next to him to copy another copy, so this is Gu Dayong's handwriting.

Once the matter broke out, it was Zhang Heling who colluded with Gu Dayong, yes, that's right, these ideas were all from him.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will do it well!" Zhang Heling nodded, and then picked up the paperwork cautiously and cautiously.

After sending Zhang Heling away, Zhu Houzhao stood up and said to Gu Dayong, who was waiting by his side: "Go to Kunning Palace!" “

After everything was arranged, Zhu Houzhao felt hidden, all he had to do now was to go to Kunning Palace to accompany his mother more, and he didn't care about other things. Now what Zhu Houzhao has to do is to watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and the clouds outside the sky are rolling.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Heling got into the carriage directly, and then instructed the entourage beside him: "Send someone to invite Lord Qi Youqi of the Salt and Iron Division, let him go to the house at night, and send someone to invite Lord Shen, the Secretary of the General Administration, and let him go to the mansion at night!" ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" The entourage hurriedly and respectfully agreed, and recently his own marquis has been greatly shaken, and his subordinates have become more afraid and respectful of him.

Zhu Houzhao lived his life leisurely in the palace, but the trend of the foreign dynasty became more and more intense, and the court set off a tide of rebellion, everyone commanded and attacked Mu Bin, the brocade guard, and Mu Bin was a turtle with a shrunken head, and he didn't come out at home all day.

Cabinet, duty room.

Li Dongyang held a question book with a gloomy face, and then said: "Liu Gong, Xie Gong, take a look at this question book!" “

Liu Jian and Xie Qian were both stunned, you must know that among the three people, Xie Qian has the worst temper, and Li Dongyang has the best temper. Liu Jian stretched out his hand to take the question book handed over by Li Dongyang, quickly flipped through it, and then his face became gloomy.

"One ring after another, it's unpredictable!" Liu Jian handed the fold to Xie Qian and said slowly.
