The action of a businessman seems to be greater than that of an official.

Not long after Zhou Zheng left Jiujiang Pavilion, he was blocked by Yang Huzhi.

Yang Huzhi brought a group of people, more than a dozen people, and the momentum was very majestic.

Zhou Zheng looked at him, his eyes were a little cold, and said, "Are you going to kill me on the street?" ”

Yang Huzhi glanced at the person beside him, with no expression on his face, and said, "Someone wants to move me and protect me." ”

Zhou Zheng sighed, looked at Yang Sishao beside him, and seemed to have a smile on his face.

Yang Sishao's face was awkward, embarrassed and afraid.

Yang Huzhi's eyes were dark, and a zombie face had no other expression except for the occasional swipe.

"Let's talk." Yang Hu said.

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "I've been waiting for you." ”

Yang Huzhi looked at Zhou Zheng and glanced at the teahouse on the left hand side.

Zhou Zheng glanced at it and walked straight up.

Yang Huzhi looked at Yang Sishao and said, "Except for you, everyone else is waiting outside." ”

These people were all brought by Yang Sishao, and his mind was hard to guess now.

Yang Sishao's lips moved, and he had to nod and say, "Okay." ”

Zhou Zheng and Yang Huzhi went upstairs and sat down by the window on the second floor.

Liu Liuzhen stood behind Zhou Zheng, and Yang Sishao stood behind Yang Huzhi, the two sides confronted each other, and the negotiations were obvious.

Yang Huzhi stretched out his hand to pour tea for Zhou Zheng, and said in an unhurried tone: "I know everything about the capital, Yang Si does not represent the Yang family, what he does, he bears it himself." ”

This means that Yang Sishao was handed over to Zhou Zheng as a bargaining chip for the two sides to negotiate.

Yang Sishao had already known this result, the corners of his mouth twitched, his expression was stiff, and he didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal.

Zhou Zheng glanced at Yang Sishao and said, "You salt merchants have attacked me three times and twice, and there is no sign of stopping, do you think that I am a very good talker?" ”

Yang Huzhi poured tea for himself, and did not have a superfluous reaction because of Zhou Zheng's questioning, and said: "The one million taels you want, we can't take it out, there is not so much cash, I will give you 1,000 acres of fertile land, ten tea estates, and 500,000 stone of private salt, and I will buy 200,000 taels of your Zhouji's goods in one go, and 200,000 taels per year in the future." ”

Liu Liuzhen listened, and silently calculated in his heart, this is about one million taels, and he was a little shocked, these people are really rich, things worth one million, they come casually, and they don't blink when they are sent out, how rich are they?

Even Yang Sishao was listening from behind, his expression changed slightly.

These are all the family assets that the Yang family has accumulated with great difficulty, and Yang Huzhi is really, so he sent it out?

This week's Zhengyun is really worth the price they have to pay?

Zhou Zheng's next words surprised Yang Sishao even more!

"Not enough." Zhou Zheng said lightly: "Before, it was one million, but now, one million can't solve this matter." ”

A million is not enough!

Yang Sishao looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, his expression was a little shocked, as if he knew this person for the first time, a million, it was already a lion's mouth, what else do you want?

Yang Huzhi was calm as usual, took a sip of tea, then shook his head, splashed it, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "You are on the cusp now, I don't know how many people want to deal with you, the power you can use in the official face is very small, and ours has no scruples, and we can attack you at any time." ”

Yang Huzhi's words, in fact, mean that the eunuch party had scruples and had been patient before, but now that he has joined Cui Chengxiu, the eunuch party and even Wei Zhongxian have reasons and excuses to make a move against Zhou Zheng, as long as it is high-sounding, it is difficult for outsiders to say anything, including the new emperor.

And Zhou Zheng fell in touch with Cui Chengxiu, causing an uproar, the government and the opposition shook, I don't know how many pairs of eyes stared at him, Zhou Zheng couldn't use some special relationships at all, such as the internal supervisor in the palace.

Now it should be the salt merchants who have the advantage!

Zhou Zheng listened to Yang Huzhi's words, smiled in his heart, and directly offered the price: "I want you to have 50 shops in Suzhou, 3,000 acres of fertile land, 5 tea mountains, and 20 tea houses, and buy 500,000 taels of goods every year, and all your properties in the capital must be given to me, and I want 1 million taels of silver, and I will receive ...... before October."

Yang Sishao's eyes widened when he heard this, and his breathing was a little short.

These are worth far more than two million taels!

This is a figure that is out of his reach, and the Yang family can get it, but it will definitely hurt the bones!

This week, I really dare to open my mouth!

Liu Liuzhen was also stunned and opened his mouth.

With so many industries, their Zhou family can't earn it in ten lifetimes!

Yang Huzhi was indifferent to Zhou Zheng's offer, sat on the chair, habitually turned sideways, tilted his head, and said, "Your confidence is that salt class lifting division?" Even if our Yang family is removed, it will not affect our salt industry, and they can't coerce us. ”

The salt law of the Ming Dynasty was changed repeatedly, the most recent of which was in the 30th year of Wanli, which is the so-called 'Gang Law'.

But the salt government has long collapsed, and the Ming court's control over the local area is also quite weak, coupled with the corruption of the government, even if the Yang family is removed from the outline and has no nest book, they can still operate the salt industry.

Therefore, the Salt Lesson Promotion Division is only a de jure jurisdiction, and even if the Yang family is really removed, the actual influence is quite limited.

Zhou Zheng naturally knew that there was no superfluous nonsense, and said: "Last time, Yang Si played tricks, I raised the price, if you don't agree this time, play tricks, next time, it won't be a price increase." ”

Yang Huzhi's eyes were dark, without any fluctuations, and he said lightly: "What other means do you have?" ”

Zhou Zheng secretly said in his heart that it is a means to destroy your Yang family!

After a while, Zhou Zheng stood up straight and said, "Since we can't talk about it, then forget it, you can take this Yang Si back, take care of it, and you want to raise it for nothing." ”

With that, he lifted his leg and left.

Yang Huzhi sat still and let Zhou Zheng leave.

As soon as Zhou Zheng walked to the staircase, he saw that Yang Huzhi's people quickly rushed up and blocked him.

Zhou Zheng's expression did not move, and said: "There were more than ten outlaws who wanted to kill me last night, you people, it's not enough to see." ”

Yang Huzhi turned his head and looked at Yang Sishao.

Yang Sishao gritted his teeth and said, "Third uncle, you can't let him go......"

"Let him go." Yang Huzhi said expressionlessly.

Yang Sishao's face struggled, and finally waved his hand, and the person at the staircase slowly got out of the way.

Zhou Zheng left directly, without any bargaining, wanting to leave and stay.

Yang Huzhi saw that Zhou Zheng really left like this, stood up, and looked at the staircase.

Yang Sishao really wanted to take the risk just now, and took Zhou Zheng directly, completely ruined, and now looking at Yang Huzhi, he said a little unwillingly: "Third uncle, this week is clearly going to eat us, we can't let him be arrogant, now his situation is to kill him, only someone will be happy, no one will look for trouble......

Yang Huzhi knew that Yang Sishao was hiding his cowardice, his expression did not move, and said: "I gave more than one million taels before, he didn't care at all, and after the offer, there was no bargaining, and he left without looking back, you say, why is this?" ”
