The former secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department was old and wise, Zhang Shiche, the former secretary of the Nanjing Household Department, was transferred to the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and Yan Maoqing, the former left waiter of the Beijing Household Department, was transferred to the secretary of the Nanjing Household Department.

This series of transfers is simply dazzling, people who don't know the inside story still think that this is just a normal official transfer, but those who know the inside story understand that this is Yan Song's party and Yang Ming's party snatching the interests of Yanyin.

Sure enough, after Yan Maoqing took office, he hurriedly issued an order to all salt farms, all the original salt quotations were invalidated, and without the newly issued salt quotations, all salt factories were not allowed to issue a grain of salt.

He's just going to kill the salt merchant!

You must know that the salt guide is not immediately received after it is sent from the household department in Nanjing, and the salt guide is not directly issued to the salt merchants, but to the border generals or officials, and the salt merchants want to receive the salt to exchange for salt, they must send all the grain and grass required by the border soldiers to the designated border towns, and then confirm and sign by the relevant generals and officials.

This process is extremely long, and the money spent is not a little bit of money, and when he sends this order, the salt merchant's hard work for months or even half a year is in vain.

It was not easy to transport the grain and grass to the border town, in exchange for salt, but could not receive the salt, what should I do?

If you're "sensible", you know what to do.

It's very simple, hurry up and pay filial piety to the newly appointed Nanjing Household Secretary Yan Maoqing, the silver filial piety is enough, and people will naturally give you a new salt guide.

Yan Maoqing also thinks so, when it comes to corruption, he is an expert, otherwise Yan Song would not have sent him to preside over the household department in Nanjing.

The trick he played was the same as the trick Yan Song played at the beginning, and it was also killing three birds with one stone.

First of all, he wanted to disgust the Yangming lineage, and the salt merchants who were attached to the Yangming lineage worked hard to send the grain and grass to the border town in exchange for salt, but they couldn't get the salt, so they naturally went to find them.

Problem, it's useless to look for them, because at this time, the officials of the Yangming line can't take care of these things, and when the time comes, they will be annoyed.

Then, he wants to warn those salt merchants, let them be interesting, see clearly who is in charge now, and if you don't change the court quickly, the official will let you lose the pants you won't have to wear!

In the end, he naturally did it to make money.

He wanted to use this to show Yan Song his ability to make money, what if this year's salt introduction has been sent out, this money, the salt merchant still has to honestly give him filial piety back.

He doesn't care whether the salt merchant spent money at the beginning of the year in order to fight for the share of salt introduction, even if he spends money, it is also given to the official of Yangming or Yang Cong, that doesn't count, he has to give another official to pay filial piety!

He doesn't care whether the price of salt will rise because of this, what does it matter if the price of salt doubles, anyway, he doesn't have to spend money to eat salt, Nanjing Hubu Shangshu is in charge of all the salt farms, if you want salt, it's not simple, let people send a few cars, people have to send a few cars.

If it was under normal circumstances, if he did this, those salt merchants would indeed be in big trouble, whether or not they transported the grain and grass to the border towns, they would have to come to Nanjing to honor the newly appointed head of the household department, otherwise, the salt business would not be able to do.

It's a pity that he thinks a little too "naïve", can there be a normal situation in this salt-led business?

The salt introduction business is not a normal business in the first place, and those salt merchants have a close relationship with the officials of the Yangming lineage or Yang Cong and other controllers of the salt introduction share, for example, the salt merchants who are attached to Yang Cong are the shopkeepers and stewards of the Yang family, can they not know that Yan Maoqing is going to take office, can they plant it in the hands of others?

Just kidding, if they really planted Yan Maoqing's hands, then it would be abnormal.

As early as before the court meeting was held, Yang Cong ordered people to urgently report to all the salt merchants for 800 miles, this salt business, I am afraid that there will be no need to do it in the future, and it has been exchanged for salt introduction, so hurry up and go to the salt field to bring out all the salt, and if you have not exchanged for salt introduction, don't care about anything, hurry up and finish the matter at hand, and prepare to do other business!

Yan Maoqing got the official appointment and dismissal document before he set off from the capital to Jinling, and he was also leisurely on the road, while enjoying the filial piety of officials along the way, the capital to Jinling more than 2,000 miles, he walked for more than a month!

When he arrived in Jinling, Yang Cong and the salt merchants under the hands of the Dingguo Mansion, the Wei Mansion and other salt introduction controllers had already closed the salt introduction business and went to other businesses.

Therefore, after he gave the order, no one went to the salt factory to receive salt, and no one came to give him filial piety silver, and the original salt merchants seemed to have disappeared, and none of them were gone!

He was a bamboo basket for nothing, and he miscalculated a lot, but Yan Song was planning one after another, interlocking, leading Xia Yan to the bottomless abyss.

At the beginning, Yan Song deceived Xia Yan and snatched the position of the Nanjing Household Minister, completely to clean up the Tartars, and now that the position of the Nanjing Household Secretaries has been obtained, Xia Yan naturally can't wait to discuss with Yan Song about the plan to clean up the Tartars.

The court meeting had just ended, Yan Maoqing's appointment had just been issued, and no one had yet taken office, so Xia Yan ordered someone to summon Yan Song.

Yan Song naturally knew what was going on in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to know nothing.

After he came to Xia Yan's duty room, he still pretended to be a grandson as always, and saluted respectfully, and then asked, "Lord Shoufu, I don't know what the matter is when you recruit the lower officials?" ”

Xia Yan didn't know that this guy was taking him into the pit, he was a little excited: "Weizhong, at this time, the position of the head of the Nanjing Hubu Shangshu has changed hands, and the food and salary of the Northwest Frontier Army should be enough, it's time to organize the army to clean up the Tartars, however, this plan to clean up the Tartars has to be presided over by someone, do you think, who is more suitable to be the coach Zeng Mill or Qiu Luan?" ”

Zeng Miao, that is a pure Xia Yan party, and has nothing to do with Yan Song, because this person is just like Xia Yan, with clean sleeves, it is naturally impossible for people to be in the same stream with a big corrupt official like Yan Song.

Qiu Luan, on the contrary, this guy's greed, even Yan Song is a little embarrassed, the so-called "things gather by like, people by groups." If you want to talk about the camp, he is naturally a proper Yan Song party, and he has nothing to do with Xia Yan.

Yan Song also understood that what Xia Yan meant by saying this was to ask him, is this big plan to clean up the tartars, is it your people who will preside over it, or my people will preside over it?

If it's a big plan to be greedy for money, of course Yan Song is the one who will do it, this big plan to clean up the tartars, then I'm sorry, it's a sinkhole, you can jump down by yourself!

Yan Song pretended to be respectful, and said without hesitation: "This kind of thing, naturally Lord Shoufu is in charge, and who Lord Shoufu thinks is suitable, that is the most important thing." ”

Xia Yan didn't know that this was Yan Song's serial plan, he just thought that Yan Song really respected his decision as pretended on the surface.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then said coaxingly: "If you want to go into battle to kill the enemy, it is naturally Xianning Hou Qiuluan who is better, but this plan to clean up the tartars mainly lies in strategy, I think it is more appropriate for Zeng Mo to preside over it, what do you think?" ”

Idiot!

What do you think, what do I think?

Do you think Qiu Luan is very good at fighting?

That's a piece of shit!

Do you think Zeng Mill can clean up the tartar?

Do your spring and autumn dreams!

Yan Song sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be respectful, and said without hesitation: "Lord Shoufu is wise, and the lower officials also think that it is more appropriate for Zeng Mo to preside over it." ”
