On one ship, the leading merchant could no longer speak, and leaned back to the side in fear, facing the faces of several slender men and sailors around him.

Now almost everyone can understand why Wang Zheng is in charge of a salt business, in addition to the Shandong Salt Gang, there is also a salt control bureau.

It's not an extra move, these two go to two extremes, Fan Ruohai, the leader of the Shandong Salt Gang, started by selling smuggled salt, and almost all the leaders are salt dealers from all over the world, not so ruthless.

But the Anti-Salt Administration is different, their predecessor was the Dengzhou Inspection Department.

Now the inspection department of the imperial court has become an empty shell, and the matter of setting up cards to investigate is completely on the shoulders of the salt department of the security department, and they are not at all gentle.

Most of the local descendants of the Shandong Army have to be recruited from the Anti-Salt Bureau, and they are salt rods who lick blood with a knife head, because they do not have the concern of official status, and in order to win the opportunity to enter the Shandong Army, they will not blink their eyes at all when they kill people.

The repeated concessions of the Shandong Salt Gang, coupled with the vigorous and resolute actions of the Anti-Salt Bureau, will be at ease in any situation.

Use these merchants to shout and scold, attract most of the ships and merchants on the dock to gather, and then make a heavy hand for a while, and for the sake of effect, specifically find those who rely on themselves.

This kind of behavior is obviously not afraid of your revenge, whether it is the goods of Zhou Yanru, the old man of the court, or the ships of the ministers and relatives of Nanzhili, almost all of them are detained.

As for the goods on the ship, naturally they didn't want to ask for it back, and all of them went into Wang Zheng's purse.

......

That night, the clerks of the salt gang inspection offices and the leaders of the salt control bureau gathered in the department and reported to Fan Ruohai, who was sitting in the lobby, one by one.

Fan Ruohai attaches great importance to this matter, Wang Zheng led the soldiers into Xuzhou, and handed over such a big thing to himself, that is, trust.

Speaking of which, he had already done it last time, and if he didn't do it clearly this time, Fan Ruohai was afraid that he wouldn't have the face to stand in the military conference hall in Licheng.

When the time comes, what qualifications do you have to mix on the salt road, just give way as soon as possible.

Fan Ruohai and Chang You, the head of the Salt Enforcement Bureau, were ventilated and prepared very well in advance.

It was only at this time that Fan Ruohai suddenly understood Wang Zheng's good intentions to let the Salt Control Bureau cooperate with his actions, that is, he was afraid that he would make the mistake of last time, and he would not be able to do it if he was soft-hearted.

So he was also ruthless, this Cao Yun collection of money is a big deal, and the noise of the day must not be less.

In order to cooperate with this incident, the Shandong army even mobilized Li Qingshan and several other regular barracks in the vicinity, forming a deterrent and ready to dispatch at any time to quell the chaos.

Fan Ruohai has been on the salt road for a long time, and he knows the value of all kinds of goods in the market very well.

Soon after the scriveners finished the inspection, Fan Ruohai breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Thanks to the cooperation of the Salt Control Bureau, this day's action has gained a lot."

Changyou, the head of the Salt Enforcement Bureau, was very surprised, Fan Ruohai's hand movement just now seemed to be flying, and he couldn't see the movement clearly, but the Salt Gang Clerk's Office was used to it, and his face didn't change much.

The leader of the Shandong Salt Gang is now the largest official-faced salt dealer in the entire Ming Dynasty, if he doesn't even have this ability, how can he climb up under the strong Shandong army.

There was a shopkeeper from Jining Commercial Bank standing in the hall, but he was stunned when he heard the amount of silver from Fan Ruo's poster, the other party not only calculated the account quickly, but the price was also very fair.

However, he was still a little puzzled, took the silver ticket from the butler's hand, and said:

"This goods, silk, coarse porcelain, spices... There are a total of eight ships, and the Jining Commercial Bank can sell 46,000 taels of silver, but there are also three ships of saltpeter and gunpowder, why didn't Steward Fan make a price? ”

Hearing this, Fan Ruohai smiled and said:

"This saltpeter and gunpowder are the Zheng family's alone, and the person who was detained said no, but when he asked him carefully, he couldn't say anything, and there must be something strange about this matter." Speaking of this, Fan Ruohai picked up the account and flipped through it, and continued:

"Zheng's family, has always been a friend of our Shandong army, saltpeter and gunpowder are purchased every year, this is a serious business, but this time if you detain this batch of goods of unknown origin without authorization, if it is really Zheng's goods, it will become my Hou Ye's breach of the contract."

"I can't afford to pay for this."

Shopkeeper Hao nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant, handed over the silver ticket, and asked intentionally or unintentionally:

"Then according to Steward Fan's meaning, this batch of goods will be returned to the Zheng family?"

Hearing his words, Fan Ruohai didn't rush to answer, pushed the silver ticket back, and said:

"Shopkeeper Hao, we don't collect cash tickets, and we also trouble you to go back and withdraw cash, after all, in this world, nothing is as good as holding heavy silver in your hands, and you want to come at ease."

The little guy in Jining Commercial Bank couldn't hear the hidden meaning of Fan Ruohai's words, and only felt that the other party intended to make things difficult, and he was about to scold him immediately, but he was pulled down by the shopkeeper Hao.

He retrieved the silver ticket, arched his hand towards Fan Ruohai, and said:

"It's Hao who doesn't know the general situation, this shouldn't have been asked, but it takes some effort to convert the silver ticket into cash, and it will be delivered tomorrow, what does Fan Guan think?"

This time, Fan Ruohai did not hesitate at all, personally walked down and put the voucher for picking up the goods in the hands of the shopkeeper Hao, and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, all of them are old customers, how can you not believe that Hao's shopkeeper, the goods Jining Commercial Bank will take them away, this is the master, and I still do it in the future."

Shopkeeper Hao didn't say much, just said a few words, and took the small servants of the trading house out to pick up the goods, and when he left, Changyou, the big boss of the Anti-Salt Bureau, finally couldn't stand.

"Lao Fan, how can you make sense to deliver the goods without paying?"

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." Fan Ruohai stood in front of the door with his hands in his hands, and when he heard Chang You's eager words, he said calmly:

"Do you know why Master Hou asked the two of us to handle the matter of Cao Yun Li Jin together?"

Changyou snorted and said:

"It's not simple, I'm afraid that one alone will swallow the gold."

Fan Ruohai laughed a few times, smiled slightly, and said:

"You, you were once a war sentinel, this business and integration of things is still too tender, Hou Ye's move is a real god."

Today's Shandong army is once comparable, even Wang Zheng no longer has too many scruples, and this time the decision to collect Caoyun Li Jin is a signal that he has begun to change his attitude.

Since they dare to hand over the goods to Jining Commercial Bank out of thin air, they naturally have the means to make them pay the silver obediently.

The strength of the Shandong Salt Gang and the Anti-Salt Bureau itself may be insignificant, but the person standing behind him, the entire Ming Dynasty will be afraid of him!

The Shandong Army, also known as the Mingwei Army, has reached the point where many people tremble when they hear the name.

At this time, we should not be so stingy in doing things, and we should show the courage of a strong army.
