As long as any clever trick is exposed, it is worthless, Yan Maoqing thought about it for a while, and also understood Tang Yi's methods.

On the surface, Tang Yi remained silent, and even stopped selling salt, which seemed to be a compromise to stop, but in fact he left a back door. Because when the price of salt was stabilized, Tang Yi especially encouraged salt merchants and stove households to obtain a decree from the emperor to legally transport salt for sale if they paid salt tax in accordance with the rules of the imperial court.

For this reason, Tang Yi transferred a group of people from the Salt Transportation Division and Huai'an Mansion to form a temporary tax department. And when the price of salt came down, Tang Yi gave up selling, and used this time to complete the great shift and handed over the task of selling salt to small and medium-sized salt merchants.

Yan Maoqing, Wang Lutai and others all paid attention to the small and medium-sized salt merchants, and ignored the existence of the tax department, if they had heard the saying that details determine success or failure, they would not have made such a fatal mistake.

Although the tax department is small, it has an amazing power in its hands, that is, to whitewash the private salt, that is, the salt produced by the stove household can be turned into official salt as long as it pays three taels of tax silver for every introduction. Of course, because there is no edict from the imperial envoy, even if it becomes official salt, it cannot be sold.

Originally, the salt tax was paid by the salt merchants, and there would not be any stove household who had a fever and paid the tax for others.

It seems that it is just a small hole that is too late to be cleared, but with the addition of Caoyun Yamen, the situation is completely different.

The Caoyun Yamen is an independent system, they can collect grain, and neither the Salt Transportation Division nor the local Yamen can control people's heads.

In the division of labor system between Yan Maoqing and Wang Lutai and others, Yan Maoqing was responsible for banning the transportation of salt and blocking the procurement channels of small and medium-sized salt merchants. Yan Maoqing was indeed very hardworking, arrested a lot of people, and checked a lot of salt. Tired and sweaty, panting.

Now it seems that strict guarding, encirclement, chasing and interception, have become a big joke.

The soldiers marched past him with salt in their arms. He didn't know it yet!

When Cao Yunbing Ding transported the salt out, the following was simple, a large amount of legal official salt naturally flowed into the hands of small and medium-sized salt merchants, and the supply of salt on the market continued, no matter how much silver the salt merchants spent, it became useless!

"Tang Yi, Zhao Zhenji! You deceive people so much, I'm not done with you! ”

Yan Maoqing immediately asked people to prepare a sedan chair, and rushed to Qin Chaxingyuan angrily......

At this time, Tang Yi had already returned to Qinchaxingyuan. In fact, he didn't do anything when he went to Wang's house. Specific things are enough to have Wang Wenxian and the people who are in the traffic line.

He is in charge of the Wang family, which is an attitude, indicating that I stand with you, Wang Wenxian dares to rush forward, and now that the victory is decided, of course Tang Yi will come back to enjoy the fruits of victory.

As soon as he arrived at the study, there was a secret letter on his desk, which he tore open and looked at. It was precisely to grasp Yan Maoqing's news and put down the letter. Some of his subordinates came to report, saying that Yan Maoqing asked to see him!

"Hehe, what a coincidence, even if it's hospice care, let him in...... Hungry no, I'll greet you personally. Tang Yi smiled and walked out of the study. Came to the gate.

"I heard the magpie call in the morning, but I didn't expect to call Lord Yan here, what a rare guest, please come in quickly!" Tang Yi smiled so kindly, not to mention how kind, as if he had been an old friend for many years. Yan Maoqing was stunned.

He could only say a few words, and as Tang Yi entered the living room, the tea was finished, and Tang Yi smiled: "Lord Yan is here for something?" ”

"Hmm!" Yan Maoqing said with a calm face: "I have some questions, I want to ask Master Tang!" ”

"Don't dare to be, Lord Yan, don't worry, I know everything."

"Really?" Yan Maoqing asked in disbelief.

"That's nature, how dare I deceive Lord Yan." Tang Yi smiled calmly.

"Okay, I'm going to ask Lord Tang, how much salt tax has the Tax Department collected recently?" Yan Maoqing stared intently.

Tang Yi pondered slightly, as if he was calculating, and said after a while: "There are quite a few, and more than one million taels have been levied in the past few months, but Lord Yan also knows that the tax department is not manpowered, and the specific amount is still being calculated, and I don't know very well." ”

How much!

Yan Maoqing's eyes almost fell off, no wonder the salt on the market can't be bought clean!

Just more than one million tax silver, you can produce three or four hundred thousand official salt, and I don't know how many others there are!

"Lord Tang, the collection of salt tax is the business of our Salt Transportation Division, how dare you overstep the bounds?" Yan Maoqing was furious.

Tang Yi smiled, how innocent he was.

"Lord Yan, what you say is unreasonable, when did I overstep the line, the tax department is collecting salt taxes on behalf of you, you can withdraw this money at any time, and I didn't stop it."

"You, you, why didn't you say it earlier?" Yan Maoqing's words stammered, he couldn't have imagined that there were more than a million taels of silver waiting for him.

"Lord Yan, have you asked?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.

"I ......"

In a word, Yan Maoqing choked half to death. Just kidding, with the previous relationship between the two people, even if Yan Maoqing took the wrong medicine, he didn't think that Tang Yi would prepare a generous gift for him!

He can see that Tang Yi is simply playing tricks on him, but the sky and the earth are the biggest.

"May I take the money now?" Yan Maoqing couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course you can, that's from your salt transportation department, and this official is the god of wealth who passes by, and he can take it away at any time." Tang Yi spread his hands, looking like you are pleased.

Yan Maoqing suddenly became excited, if he could really withdraw more than one million taels of silver, this time he would hand over the big head to Jiajing, and in a year, he had collected more than five million taels of salt tax for Jiajing, which was equivalent to half of the time when he became an ancestor, and he was worth the income of the listed company.

In this way, he is an expert in accumulating wealth on a par with Tang Yi, and Jiajing's most relied on courtier. There is a holy family and the protection of a godfather.

Yan Maoqing felt that a glittering road appeared in front of him, and a bright future was waiting for him. Yan Maoqing rubbed his hands excitedly, but he hesitated. Tang Yi is too abnormal, there can't be any traps in this, right?

"Lord Tang, did you really let me take the silver away?" Yan Maoqing will be skeptical.

Tang Yi smiled, "Lord Yan, don't think so badly of this official, how can I harm you if you are a minister in the same hall?" Don't worry, if you don't go now, I'm afraid it will be too late in a while. ”

"Late? What do you mean? Yan Maoqing was puzzled.

"Hehe, it's too late - you can't get the money!" Tang Yi showed his white teeth.

Before the words fell, suddenly the door was pushed open, and Huo Jiangong, dressed in a red flying fish suit, rushed in from the outside, and the fierce god possessed a similar body, and arrived in front of Yan Maoqing.

"You, what are you doing?" Yan Maoqing's voice changed.

"Hehe, don't do anything, arrest you into Beijing!"

Huo Jiangong waved his hand, and the Jinyi guard who followed behind pounced, directly pressed Yan Maoqing down, went to Wusha, took off the official clothes, as if killing a pig, tied it up, and escorted it out directly. Yan Maoqing's screams were endless.

Huo Jiangong didn't leave in a hurry, and approached Tang Yi, "Engong, I heard that Yan Maoqing has offended you, do you want to punish him well?" ”

"He's a prisoner, if something goes wrong, you can't explain it, right?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Jinyiwei has his own means to do things, and we haven't done it before." Huo Jiangong is full of confidence.

Tang Yi hesitated for a moment, and said indifferently: "It's all a dead person, you just remember to delay a little time on the road." ”

"Understood!"

……

Look at yourself with great joy and sorrow, and look at friends with great ups and downs. Yan Maoqing has a lot of fox friends and dog friends, but when he was arrested, they all showed their original forms, and none of them dared to speak for Yan Maoqing.

On the contrary, a large number of impeachments of Yan Maoqing flew to Jiajing's desk.

Nothing else, Lu Bing took the men and horses to raid Yan Maoqing's mansion in Beijing, and copied out 800,000 taels of gold and silver, plus other property, at a discount of more than 2 million taels.

"The court has no money, I have no money! But the Ming Dynasty is not out of money, and the money is greedy for these rats! Thieves, thieves, shameless, shameless! ”

Especially when Jiajing saw that more than 500,000 of the cash was obtained by Yan Maoqing after taking over the Salt Transportation Division, he went even more crazy. directly ordered that Jinyi Wei be sent to raid the hometown of Yan Maoqing in Fengcheng, and the whole family was used as an army in Liaodong.

Another general was lost, and Yan Shifan went crazy.

Although from beginning to end, Tang Yi didn't make any big moves, let alone write a book for impeachment, Yan Shifan knew that it was this guy who manipulated everything behind his back and forced Yan Maoqing to a dead end step by step.

I really can't wait to arrest Tang Yi, I can't survive or die. However, through previous battles, Yan Shifan clearly knew Tang Yi's weight, Yan Maoqing was damaged, and no one in the Yan Party, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, could surpass Tang Yi in terms of the ability to accumulate wealth.

Unless this kid rebels, Jiajing is absolutely reluctant to dispose of him.

Since you can't kill him, then press him to the ground and never think about turning over! Yan Shifan was ruthless, and he could no longer keep Tang Yi to make trouble, and let him ruin his own good deeds.

Immediately ordered the minions to write to Tang Yi to take over the position of Prime Minister Salt Transport Division.

threw out all the salt profits, but it was really enough.

It's just that no matter how fast they move, they are not as fast as Tang Yi, and on the day Yan Maoqing was arrested in Beijing, Tang Yi also made a note, saying that he had a serious leg disease and could not walk, and asked the imperial court to send someone immediately to clean up the mess.

As a responsible official, Tang Yi wrote his experience in the past few months into a book of 10,000 words and sent it to Jiajing.

Looking at the music, different from the usual chic handwriting, you can clearly see a lot of miswriting, Jiajing seems to see that under the light, Tang Yi endured severe pain, rushed to write the scene of the song, and his heart was moved.

"No wonder there hasn't been much wind and rain, dare to love that this kid is sick, and I thought he had changed sex!" Jiajing scolded with a smile: "Send an edict to the cabinet, let them elect a suitable person, the court can't always call a person." ”

……

Just when Jiajing was moved by Tang Yi's loyalty, Tang Yi's line was filled with a group of warblers and swallows, and there were twenty fat and thin, top beauties who could be blinded!

Tang Yi grabbed his hair painfully and scolded in a low voice: "Lao Tzu is not Huang Shiren, he really used his daughter to pay off his debts!" (To be continued.) )
