Chapter 228: The Storm in the Capital III

"Stinky boy! What's the matter with you? Could it be that this injury is serious? Looking at Wang Quangui, who was trembling like a sieve, Tian Hongyu frowned, and then wiped Wang Quangui's forehead with his hand, and the result was that the tentacles were cold.

"What's going on?" Tian Hongyu is very strange.

"Tian 。。。。。 Uncle..... I..... Fear! Wang Quangui said tremblingly.

Tian Hongyu seemed to know something, and hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk, come here, carry Young Master Wang into the carriage!" Tian Hongyu commanded.

"Yes! Master! "His men take orders.

The carriage moved slowly towards the Bandung Commercial Bank, looking at Wang Quangui who was still trembling, Tian Hongyu said: "Stinky boy, are you hiding something from Uncle Tian!" Say it! ”

"Uncle Tian! Help me! Wang Quangui cried.

"What are you doing here?" Tian Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What life?" What the hell are you hiding from me? ”

"Uncle Tian! Today, the people of the Chu Palace's Mansion have also found the Shuntian Mansion! Wang Quangui said bitterly.

"Chu Wangfu?! How? Does this matter have anything to do with the Chu Palace? Tian Hongyu had a bad feeling.

Wang Quangui nodded helplessly, and then Tian Hongyu seemed to think of what had just happened and said, "The people from Shuntianfu who just went out in a hurry are also related to this matter?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Quangui said decadently.

"What the hell is going on? You name it! Tian Hongyu frowned.

"Uncle Tian! Actually, this has nothing to do with me! After leaving the auction house that day, I left with Angkor with the factor, and we were going to take the ferry back to Hangzhou and then turn back, which was faster and safer. Wang Quangui said.

Tian Hongyu didn't speak, just nodded and agreed with his statement, and then Wang Quangui said again: "But I don't know if this Angkor is a ghost or what, he actually sent someone to block the road and rob the people of the Chu Palace, and wanted to snatch this treasure, saying that Uncle Wu likes this treasure very much, and it is bound to get it, so Angkor said that he must get this treasure no matter what!" I discouraged it at the time, I couldn't do it! But Angkor wouldn't listen! I can't help it! Angkor also said that this matter is completely certain, and no one will know about it, but who knows that the matter is still known now! ”

"What do you say! The people who robbed and killed the Chu Palace?! Tian Hongyu was taken aback, and then pointed at Wang Quangui with a trembling hand and said, "Is this serious?" ”

"It's true!" Wang Quangui said bitterly.

"Did you know at the time that they were from the Chu Palace?" Tian Hongyu asked.

"I don't know! But from all kinds of signs, it can be seen that their identities are not ordinary, but Angkor said that dead people can't speak! No one will ever know! No matter how noble their status is, it's useless! Wang Quangui said bitterly.

"Who are you sending?" Tian Hongyu said.

"I didn't send it!" Wang Quangui directly cleared up the relationship.

"That's fine! Who did that stinky boy send? Tian Hongyu said helplessly.

"The No. 1 gang in Jiangnan! Ghost Jiao! Wang Quangui said bitterly.

"Since they made a move, they would miss?" Tian Hongyu was stunned.

"I don't know much about this, we already failed when we knew!" Wang Quangui said bitterly, and then said, "Uncle Tian! What do we do now? That Lord Liu will definitely suspect us soon! ”

"At that time, you will not admit it, and the person was sent by that stinky boy, and you will think that you don't know! Do you understand? Tian Hongyu frowned.

"Boy understands!" Wang Quangui seemed to have taken a reassuring pill all of a sudden.

"Is this ghost Jiao all dispatched this time?" Tian Hongyu asked.

"Nope! There is also a three-master home! Wang Quangui said.

"That's it! I understand! Tian Hongyu said coldly, Wang Quangui seemed to see a sharp light in Tian Hongyu's eyes, and couldn't help but tremble with fright.

Then Tian Hongyu looked at Wang Quangui and said, "Do you know whether the people sent are all dead or still alive?" ”

"I don't know! None of the people we sent came back, so they must all be dead! Wang Quangui was unsure.

"That's the problem! Never mind! Let's talk about it later! You take care of your wounds, remember, if they call you for questioning, you say you don't know, understand? Tian Hongyu said solemnly.

"Yes! Uncle Tian! I understand! Wang Quangui said.

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! "Tian Hongyu entered the palace after settling Wang Quangui, and he had to pay a messenger.

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tian Hongyu said respectfully.

"Why did you enter the palace to see me at this time?" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"The silver obtained from this auction has been sorted out, this is a depository! Please take a look at it, Your Majesty! Saying that, Tian Hongyu deposited the ticket and submitted it.

Cao Huachun took it, and then carefully handed it to Chongzhen, who glanced at it and said, "You can rest assured!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tian Hongyu said respectfully.

"That's right! You've come just in time! I've heard that it's very lively outside the palace right now! There are still people who dare to kill people at the gate of Shuntianfu! This is simply ignoring the king! I have to punish him for the Nine Clans! Chongzhen said coldly.

"Your Majesty! I believe that Lord Liu will definitely find out, and those who dare to offend Tianyan will definitely not let him have a good time! Tian Hongyu was also indignant.

"That's it! I heard that the last three treasures that participated in the auction seem to have been robbed, is this true? Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty! This Weichen is not, but the treasures that Weichen's two nephews took were indeed snatched away! Now Lord Liu is in full pursuit! Tian Hongyu said.

"That's it! I see! Come on! If there's nothing to do, you can go back! It seems that this capital is going to make a fuss! I'd love to take a look! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty take care of the dragon's body, Weichen retires!" After speaking, Tian Hongyu saluted respectfully, and then withdrew.

After Tian Hongyu retreated, Chongzhen said: "Cao Huachun, do you know my current salt politics in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Cao Huachun was stunned, why did His Majesty the Emperor ask this? I should have asked those courtiers about this, but after thinking about it, I said, "Your Majesty! Now our Ming Dynasty uses Yuan Shizhen's "Ten Discussions on the Salt Law" to implement the outline law. ”

"What is the main purpose of this outline?" Chongzhen was stunned.

Cao Huachun replied: "Your Majesty, the content of this program is to compile the salt merchants who hold a large amount of salt quotations into ten guidelines, and every year the government will exchange 200,000 pieces of old salt quotations from the salt merchants of one of them, and at the same time, collect a total of 1.8 million new salt quotations from the salt merchants of the remaining nine outlines. In the future, only those who are named in the compendium can buy new quotes according to the number of old quotes in the compendium, and can they go to the designated area to operate the salt business, and they can also be hereditary, and those who are not named in the compendium can no longer operate the salt industry. ”

Hear this! Chongzhen couldn't help but curse in his heart: "! ”

"How much salt does an ordinary person's home need in a year?" Chongzhen continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty! A commoner is about one or two or a half dollars of silver for a year, and a person needs about fifty catties of salt a year to maintain the normal needs of the body. The usual price of salt is uncertain, fifty catties of salt, when it is expensive, it takes more than five dollars of silver, and when it is cheap, it costs less than four dollars. Salt money accounts for more than half of the income of ordinary people! The remainder is used to buy food. After a year, there is basically no money to buy other items! Of course! If food prices are still rising, it's really hard to say! Cao Huachun smiled bitterly, and then?? said with a smile: "But recently, the people's lives have improved a lot, and many people praise Your Majesty!" ”

"That's it! There's still a long way to go! Chongzhen shook his head.

"Your Majesty! The prince asks to see! "There is humanity outside.

"Oh?! Call him in. Chongzhen commanded.

Soon, Wang Chengen came in and saluted respectfully: "The old slave knocks to see Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Let's get flat!" Chongzhen smiled and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen said.

"What? How are things progressing now? Chongzhen asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is going according to plan!" Wang Chengen said, and then said: "The palace of the king of Chu has received the news, and now the king of Chu is furious and has already sent someone to Beijing to investigate, and at the same time, the king of Chu has also written to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court will make decisions for him!" ”

"Good! I see! Well done! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty," Wang Chengen said happily.

"That's right! Since you are here, I will also ask by the way, do you have statistics on the price of salt in the Lianghuai area? Chongzhen asked.

"Back to Your Majesty! Yes! The old slave will bring it to His Majesty in a moment! Wang Chengen said.

"No need! You've probably read the report, right? Chongzhen asked.

Wang Chengen nodded, and then Chongzhen said: "In addition to official salt on the market now, there should also be private salt, right?" ”

"That's for sure? Do you still need to ask? Wang Chengen thought to himself, but still nodded.

Chongzhen continued to ask: "Then what is the approximate price ratio of this private salt and official salt?" ”

Wang Chengen thought for a while and said, "Back to Your Majesty!" The ratio of the price of private salt to official salt is about 1:2 to 1:4. The proportion of large differences in quality is less, and the difference in quality is larger. ”

Chongzhen nodded, and then said, "The imperial court didn't collect taxes on these private salts, right?" ”

Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun nodded at the same time, at this time they knew what His Majesty the Emperor was going to say, it was nothing more than going around to the silver again。。。。。。
