The saltmen attacked the soldiers guarding the salt works, killing 150 officers and soldiers, and as many as 50 of the salt workers, bookkeepers, stoves, and so on.

The Southern Tang Dynasty followed the national policy of salt and iron monopoly since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the salt farms were controlled by the imperial court.

Of course, there are also salt merchants who are directly responsible for production, but such salt farms are also controlled by the soldiers of the imperial court, all in all, in the eyes of the salt workers, the salt merchants are the imperial court, and the imperial court is the salt merchants, they are one family at all!

Don't be polite, Wang San was covered in blood, and he struggled to swing the hammer, which happened to hit the chest of a salt ding, the armor was smashed, the sternum was concave, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out, with a few dark fragments, and the internal organs were shattered!

The salt workers are forgetful of fighting, usually they work like cattle and horses, thanks to these old men, they have developed a strong physique, and now it is time for the big masters to taste their strength!

After killing all the people in one salt farm, the salt workers took a short break and immediately rushed to the second salt field.

Uprisings have always been like this, if you don't kill all the enemies, you just wait to be killed by the enemy!

This is a life-and-death war, and there is no fluke!

They rushed into the second saltworks and went straight to the shacks of the salt workers, who were so poor that they had nothing, waiting for the day.

Some people may have thought in their dreams that they would create a rebellion against the imperial court, but it was too difficult for no one to take the lead and let them take the last step.

This is the end of the world, finally, someone pierced the window paper, thousands of miles of river embankment, there was a gap, followed by a surging flood, rushing to the face.

The salt workers did not hesitate, and then carried the flat pole and followed them out.

One salt works, two salt works...... It's spreading faster than the flu.

However, in ten days, Taizhou, Rugao, and all the coastal salt fields all fell, and after the salt workers seized the salt fields, they took out the clean salt and piled it up into a hill.

Ironically, although the salt workers pick up brine, chop wood, light fires, and carry ...... every day. The salt that can be produced is the cleanest and best, all of which have the red seal of the imperial court, and the idlers cannot move it. They can only eat the inferior table salt mixed with straw sticks and sand!

Grandma's!

Now that Lao Tzu has taken the salt farm, Lao Tzu can eat as much as he wants!

Not only do you eat the best, but you also have to brush your teeth, don't rich people do that! Let Lao Tzu enjoy it too.

Someone grabbed handfuls of salt and rubbed them against their front teeth, baring their teeth and grinning, all of which were memes.

There are a lot of salt workers who are crazy, but there are many more sober people, they have nothing but salt in their hands, if the imperial army kills, what resistance?

Although people can't do without salt, they can't just eat salt!

Therefore, many salt workers took salt and went to the countryside to exchange food, livestock, vegetables, and everything that could be exchanged with the common people!

The salt workers were tormented by coins, and they didn't want any money, just things!

See no, one load of salt for one stone of grain, three loads of salt for a sheep, twenty loads of salt for a war horse...... The most primitive barter appeared around Yangzhou, the most prosperous commercial city, and it spread rapidly, and was very popular with the people.

The salt workers are suffering from the money pit, and the common people are not!

When the big money, when the top ten money, when the big 100 money!

Fuck it!

Not a penny!

The common people completely abandoned the currency, and even some people learned from the salt workers, and also summoned the young and strong, expelled the officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and ran to echo the salt workers from afar to participate in the grand event.

The people of the Southern Tang Dynasty had retreated to a few cities such as Rugao, Taizhou, and Yangzhou, and the entire countryside was occupied by salt workers and ordinary people.

Even if there was no place to fall, many gentry stood up and announced that they would form a village to protect themselves and no longer respect the will of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

How to describe the current situation, a basin of hot water was poured down, and all the snow melted, and the only remaining city was a snowball discarded by children in the snow, which stubbornly supported, but was also poured out in a mess, revealing sludge and sand......

"Surprised? This is how the monetary system collapsed. Ye Hua said lightly to Zhao Er, Li Yu, and Lu Duoxun, the third envoy.

The three of them were dumbfounded and looked serious, especially Lu Duoxun, whose fingers were deeply embedded in the palms of his hands, and he kept exerting force, letting the pain stimulate his brain.

It didn't take long for Lu Duoxun's head to be covered with cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water, he suddenly let out a long sigh, "Master Hou, not long ago, I was still thinking about taking two million taels of silver as a deposit, issuing a batch of silver coins, purchasing grain, and solving the situation of grain and peasants...... I regret it! ”

Lu Duosun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Master Hou, if I do it, will I end up with such a result?" ”

Ye Hua shrugged his shoulders, "It's hard to say, Da Zhou's foundation is very thick, it shouldn't be, it's just that I hope that Lu Xianggong's financial management in the future can be as stable as possible!" Of course, we can't rest on our laurels, we still have to work research. ”

Lu Duoxun listened carefully, "In the future, it will be indispensable to trouble Master Hou!" ”

Zhao Er smiled and said proudly: "Is it that I have another junior brother?" ”

"Shut up!"

Ye Hua said angrily: "Now that the situation has reached this point, it's time for us to come forward to save the world!" ”

Yes!

Zhao Er and Lu Duoxun were shocked, staring at Ye Hua together, do they have to send troops?

When they saw the affirmative look in Ye Hua's eyes, they were all ecstatic, the steps of the Great Monday to dominate the world were about to start, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was finally not far from destruction!

They all wanted to know what Ye Hua was going to do.

Who knew that Ye Hua was not in a hurry to speak, but turned to Li Yu.

"What about you, what's the idea?"

Li Yu was stunned, and said stupidly: "Humble position, humble position is shallow learning, there is no clever plan, and please atone for your sins." ”

Ye Hua didn't want to let him go, and asked: "If you don't have a good strategy, the middle strategy is fine, if you don't say a good strategy, in short, you can't help but speak!" ”

Zhao Er also came to his senses at this time, "Yes, Li Yu, didn't you say that you want to seek revenge on Li Hongji?" God-given opportunity, the best chance for revenge, how can you not have any opinion, this is not good! ”

Li Yu was forced to ask, but he pondered for a long time, "Master Hou, if you insist on being humble, you feel that although the current situation is conducive to Da Zhou, you should not act recklessly, and you should be cautious." ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhao Er said disapprerovitly: "What kind of words is this, the top priority is to co-opt the righteous people, think that the army is on the flank, and then take Yangzhou directly, take all the land in Jiangbei, and then attack Jinling, and destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty in one battle!" Zhao Er raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "By the way, take your imperial brother prisoner and hand it over to the Great Zhou Tianzi to dispose of!" What do you think? ”

Li Yu stiffened his face and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao has a high opinion, and the lower officials are all obedient. ”

After saying that, he lowered his head deeply and said nothing.

At this time, Ye Hua stood up from his seat, walked straight to Li Yu's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Li Hongji left behind a mess in which the monetary system is easy to destroy and difficult to recover. It must be known that every change in the value of the currency means the lives of countless people. Take someone to the salt works! ”

Li Yu hesitated, "What does Master Hou mean ......"

"To find out what the salt workers are doing, to find out what they think, to find a way to restore the value of the currency...... Also, the reform of the salt administration, the life of the salt workers, and how to clear the fields...... You have been involved in all these things, and I hope you will use it for a while to come up with a perfect strategy, and ...... in the future It's going to be used in Jiangnan! ”

Li Yu's body trembled briefly and violently as if he was struck by lightning, he closed his eyes, raised his head, and for a long time before he whispered: "Obey orders." ”

After speaking, Li Yu turned around and hurried away, he didn't want people to see him crying, but he just wanted to cry!

It is true that Li Hongji has a grudge against him, but he is also the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he has royal blood on his body!

The foundation of the ancestors is a good country!

Is this coming to an end? The eldest brother did not hesitate to kill his father and brother, shouting that he wanted to chase the Central Plains, is this the end in the end? Ye Hua said that he would do it, and he has always been a person who does not make a move, and once he makes a move, he will hit with a blow! I'm afraid that it will be like the previous recovery of Youzhou, and completely destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, and my own country is really hopeless.

Li Yu staggered back to his residence, his whole body was numb, he casually packed up two clothes, rolled up the urgent official documents, and took his belongings, he left in a hurry, preparing to go to the salt field to investigate the situation according to Ye Hua's instructions.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Zhao Er head-on.

Li Yu looked a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "I've seen Lord Zhao, my subordinates, my subordinates have errands to ......."

Zhao Er suddenly smiled, "Li Yu, do you know how much I envy you!" ”

Li Yu was puzzled, he had nothing, not even a nominal country, you Zhao Kuangyi have everything, you envy me? Got the wrong medicine?

Zhao Er sighed: "I am sincere, it is because I have everything, so I can only be an unsightly embroidered messenger, and you have nothing, there are infinite possibilities!" ”

Li Yu frowned, "Subordinate, subordinate really don't understand what Lord Zhao means. ”

Zhao Er shook his head, "Okay, you'll figure it out, but the most important thing at the moment is to do a good job of what my master has explained." ”

"Brother and brother repay the debt, and the subordinates will do a good job!"

Zhao Er showed a big smile and said a sentence that made Li Yu lie down directly, "Abandon the Southern Tang Dynasty, embrace the Great Zhou, once virtuous, it is ten thousand times better than the Son of Heaven, don't let my master down!" ”
