"Jianghuai Metropolitan Governor, Wu Wang Fugong Tuo Wang Ye Junjian, since the minister left Jianghuai, he has tried his best to contact many parties, but in the end he fell short, this is the minister's fault! When the minister returns to Jianghuai in the future, he will definitely ask the prince for his guilt in person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But now, according to the investigation of the minister's internal line, Li Jiancheng, the prince of the enemy Li Tang, is rumored to have received the help of Taishang Laojun, and has successfully improved the snow salt from green salt, as well as the Taoist secret technique of using gray sugar to improve snow sugar. According to Weichen's estimation, Li Tang's strategy in the event of the incident will be mainly focused on the transaction of exchanging snow sugar for sea salt, and Weichen secretly thought that if Li Tang escorted snow sugar to Jianghuai for trading, Wan asked the prince not to block it, but only monopolize the transaction of snow sugar at a low price, and then exchange snow sugar for iron and other materials; In addition, the minister in Luoyang must find a way to contact the Lingnan barbarians, so that they will rob the money of the transaction, which greatly hurts Li Tang's vitality. In the minister's shallow opinion, please judge the prince holy. After Zuo Youxian finished writing the letter, he framed the letter and handed it to Zuo Ahsi:

"Ah Si! Give this letter to the king yourself. Remember, you must hand it over to the king yourself! ”

"Yes! The little one understands! "After receiving Zuo Youxian's secret letter, Fu Gongtuo took a closer look: 'Hmph! Damn, you enjoy it yourself in Luoyang, when I don't know! Now I finally remember to write a letter to this king, but you can carry out your plan. Thinking of this, Fu Gongtuo said kindly to Zuo Ah Si:

"Ah Si! Zuo Xiangguo's letter was received by the king, you go down to rest first, in addition, the king also prepared a lot of Jianghuai native products, and you will bring it to Zuo Xiangguo in a few days! ”

"Yes! The king is really affectionate to Lord Xiangguo, and the villain thanked the prince on behalf of Lord Xiangguo. After Zuo Ah Si left, Fu Gongtuo ordered:

"Someone! Find General Chang Da for this king. ”

Huang Wenqing took Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and Kan Ling's caravan along the Chencang Road in Guanzhong through the Qinling Mountains, and after arriving in Yizhou, along the way, the streets were full of people selling salt in their pockets, with the improvement of green salt and the Bashu salt well was controlled in the hands of the Li Tang Dynasty itself, the price of salt began to fall, and the major salt sellers began to sell salt again, but the price of salt was only a little lower than before, and many people were afraid that the price of salt would rise to the original price, so they gathered at the door of the salt shop, and they wanted to weigh a little more.

"Shopkeeper, please weigh me more!"

"I'm sorry, I don't see the brand above, each person is limited to two catties, and you can't buy more."

"Shopkeeper, for the sake of our villagers, sell me a little more!"

"I'm sorry, there are a lot of folks here. If you can't sell more, you can't sell more. Hurry up and go! Next! ”

"Ugh! Brother Zhang, you have already bought salt, why do you still want it! ”

"Hey! Who knows if the price will increase in a few days, or whether it will sell salt! What if the salt is not sold again on a certain day? Also, in the past, those salt shop owners used to add soil to the salt, but now they finally don't add soil to it, so they naturally want to buy more. ”

"Ugh! Doesn't it mean that the salt well has been taken by the government immediately! There are still new salt wells being mined! There will be new salt soon. ”

"You don't understand, now this is selling sea salt, and those salt wells are mineral salt, and sea salt tastes better." If it weren't for the fact that there were officials and soldiers from the government at the gate of Yandian to maintain this order, and if it weren't for the fact that a few days ago, Li Jiancheng sent a letter to Xu Shao to strengthen public security and arrest and kill a lot of people who made trouble under the pretext of making trouble, I am afraid that there will be chaos again, Huang Wenqing saw it in his eyes, listened to it in his heart, and felt a little depressed in his heart. "Now although the imperial court has taken control of the salt wells in Feishan, Yueshan County, and developed new salt wells, but the output is not too high, and now the people really like sea salt, only the salt transaction with Jianghuai and Qilu is successful, the price of salt will still return to the original price, and the people will not have to worry about salt at that time."

"Ru Hui, Xuan Ling, Kan Ling! Look at these salt sellers! Although, now the salt well of Feishan in Bashu Yuexian County is under control, but the new salt well has just been mined, and the output is not large, and now it is still necessary to bring in Qilu salt and Jianghuai's Wuzhong salt as soon as possible, otherwise, the price of salt will not be reduced, and the people's hearts will still be unstable after all! And Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui suddenly had an idea in their hearts. Under the arrangement of Xu Shao, the governor of Yizhou Xingtai, the group boarded the boat and came to Jiangling, and Li Ming, the chief of Jingzhou Xingtai waterway, led his subordinate officials to greet him.

"Ahh Welcome, welcome! ”

"Ahh The prince greeted him personally, what a shame! You're tired of the prince! ”

"Where, where? Several of you are honored guests of this king, and this king should wait a while. Huang Wenqing was about to say something polite, but Li Xiao, the king of Hejian County, interjected from the side:

"The person appointed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? It's also half a minister, shouldn't we, the royal family, wait here a little longer? As soon as he heard Li Xiaogong say the four words of the minister, Huang Wenqing's face changed greatly. If someone joins Li Jiancheng like this in front of Li Yuan, saying that Li Jiancheng despises the imperial family and usurps the imperial power, it is difficult to imagine what kind of results will await Li Jiancheng, but Li Xiaogong's identity is not himself, who only served as a county magistrate in the former Sui period, and is now only a small loose official in Li Tang's prince's mansion, if he really wants to argue with Li Xiaogong, Huang Wenqing does not dare. At this time, Du Ruhui took over the conversation:

"The prince is right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was appointed by His Majesty to solve the affairs of the salt famine in Guanzhong, that is, the minister of the Qincha, and I was appointed by the prince, and I can be regarded as half of the minister, the prince spoke appropriately, and I admired it." Since the rise of the Du Ruhui family in the Western Han Dynasty, it is also a family of door valves for nearly a thousand years, you must know that the name Du Cheng is because in the Western Han Dynasty, half of the people in Jingzhao were surnamed Du, and when the Western Han Dynasty became the emperor, the gate valve surnamed Du directly changed the place name of Jingzhao to Du Cheng, which shows the influence of the surname Du in this place. In the later change of dynasty, the surname Du has always been talented, and anyone in the Guanzhong Dynasty did not dare to offend the Guanzhong Du family, Du Ruhui's family in the Guanzhong Du family has a very deep heritage, and Li Xiaogong did not dare to be too presumptuous. With a black face, he didn't speak. Li Ying was overjoyed when she saw Li Xiaogong's face, but she still didn't show it on the surface:

"Oops, everyone is working for Datang, nothing, ah! Lord Huang, there are three young talents, this king has already set up a banquet in the palace for a few to catch the wind, everyone, please! ”

"Lord Wang, please!" Huang Wenqing said to the caravan guards:

"Take good care of the goods, and there must be no mistakes. After this errand is completed, I will naturally ask for a reward for you in front of His Royal Highness the Prince. The caravan guards immediately replied:

"Yes! Thank you, sir! ”

"Kan Ling! Come on too! ”

"Lord Huang, if you don't like such an occasion, I'll stay here!" Kan Ling is restrained, and the goods are really important, so Huang Wenqing is not reluctant.

"Okay!" Li Ying saw that Li Xiaogong was still black-faced, so he said to Li Xiaogong:

"Brother Xiaogong, don't you get together together!"

"Brother Lujiang invited, this king is very honored." In Li Jin's palace, Li Xiaogong asked Huang Wenqing vigorously how to operate, and Huang Wenqing knew in his heart that although he was appointed as the chief envoy this time, he had carefully considered it on the road, since Li Jiancheng's purpose this time was to take the postgraduate examination Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, he was naturally reluctant to interfere more, and Huang Wenqing also wanted to know how capable Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were. So they pretended to appreciate the food and beauties, and Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were young and were not valued by Li Xiaogong, so naturally they didn't pay attention to the two of them. After the banquet, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui wanted to catch up on the old days in the name of not seeing Song Lingwen for a long time, but Li Ying didn't suspect anything.

"Then you can have a good talk."

"Brother Ling Wen, we haven't seen each other for more than two years since we left Chang'an, and now Brother Ling Wen has become the governor of Jingzhou Xingtai. What a young man! ”

"Haha! The two virtuous brothers smiled. By the way, I have received the secret letter from His Royal Highness, and I will definitely assist in the whole process of this time, I don't know how the two virtuous brothers want to sell in Wuzhong? Now the people of Jianghuai are very disgusted with our dynasty! Fang Xuanling said:

"I've already thought about this matter with Brother Ru Xian, and I don't know that there are a few businessmen in Jiangling City who do the biggest business." Song Lingwen felt strange, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a letter saying that Fang Du and the others were going to Jianghuai and Qilu to sell salt, how could they ask the businessmen in Jiangling City." ’

"Oh! Jiangling City is the old capital of Xiaoliang, with a strong commercial atmosphere, and there are four families with the highest value, namely the Zhang family who deals in Jianghuai silk, the Heng family who deals in Qilu jewelry, the Lu family who deals in Mobei fur and the Gong family who deals in timber. These four are the largest merchants in Jiangling, and the largest family is the Zhang family, and the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiling, gave great support when Yang Guang won the throne, so Yang Guang vigorously supported the Zhang family after he won the throne. The Gong family is a local family in Jiangling, and the family background seems to be a little thinner than the Zhang family, but it also has a history of 100 years, according to intelligence investigation, the Gong family has a relationship with the barbarians in Lingnan, and a lot of wood in Lingnan and Annam is transported by the Gong family, and others can't get involved. The other two are all new to the rise, but according to the intelligence of the Qilin Secret Guard, the Heng family has a relationship with Qilu Cao Dan, when Dou Jiande rose, the head of the Heng family immediately married Cao Dan, and later Cao Dan's net worth became higher and higher, and the Heng family sent three daughters to Cao Dan in a row, and when Xiao Liang was pacified, the Heng family also helped us stabilize the people's hearts. Moreover, the head of the Qilu Heng family is also the father-in-law of Cen Wenwen, a close confidant of King Lujiang. Also, according to the insider report, the Heng family has sent money to the King of Lujiang and the King of Hejian, and the amount is quite a lot. As for the Lu family, it is investigated that it is the family of Lu Xinyuan of the Xiangguo of Mayi, and it is said that after Lu Xinyuan's death, the Lu family moved over. "But there is another point, that is, Lu Shengzhi, the current head of the Lu family, has now taken refuge in the Qilin Secret Guard, and there are some secret things that only the Lu family can do, and this matter is only known to Li Jiancheng, Xu Jingzong, Song Lingwen, and Di Renjie.
