As a relative of Xu Guo, Xu Wencheng knows much more about this incident than others. In addition to the huge amount of more than 10 million in taxes owed, it really touched the bottom line of the empire. Banzhou Yang's is the second forbidden area touched by salt merchants.

The Banzhou Yang family's objection has sprouted, and those letters of appointment are the best evidence. Although the salt merchants did not necessarily take these letters of appointment seriously, they did not report them as soon as they received them, but continued to trade with Banshu and hid them at home, which has to make people wonder whether the loyalty of these salt merchants to the imperial court is reliable.

When Xu Guo was about to leave Beijing, he had only one sentence of advice, to break the wealth and avoid disasters. If his position does not fall, the Xu family will not really be poor and hungry. On the contrary, if you are really involved in a major case of rebellion, your position will not be guaranteed, and wealth will be a passing thing.

Xu Wencheng heard that the Seven Outline Merchants were swept away, and all of them were prisoners of the stairs, but his own family was not guilty of any crime, except that his family could not support salt, there was no change in other lives, and he was also grateful for this incense in his heart. is very cooperative with Zheng Guobao's work, whether it is the arrears of classes or the private salt trade in Banzhou, they have all been recruited by 1510. Even the letter of appointment of the Yang family, as well as the letters that contacted the Xu family in the past, were all taken out.

Zheng Guobao only glanced at it twice, and then slapped the table. "The Xu family is a family of benevolence, how can they collude with the Yang family in Banzhou to steal and sell official salt? This is clearly the Yang family's counter-plot, can this deceive me? These things, all fake, are destroyed on the spot. ”

There are two official words, so what do you say. These evidences put the other seven businessmen in prison, but Xu Wencheng was safe and sound, and even the evidence was burned. As for the matter of the salt class, Zheng Guobao also said: "Xu Yuanwai is a good person, and he will not do anything to default on the salt class." However, the stewards and servants below will inevitably have some bad consciences, engage in personal fraud, and harm the master's family. Give the tax money given by the Lord's house. Fill your pockets and deduct from them. Well, there is no need to pay a fine, as long as you pay some outstanding fees symbolically. ”

Xu Wencheng also knows that the Qincha master has the skill to make money, and he can be called an expert in financial management in the country. Since the eight merchants were imprisoned, I don't know how much they have paid for food, quilts, free beatings, free shackles, quilts, and beds. In particular, several of the family's female dependents were also arrested and sent to prison. The girl is not in prison, and the daughters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and concubines of the family are all charming beauties, and they can't be rewarded by the officials and the secretary.

To preserve chastity and face. You will have to pay a fee for accommodation. Let the ladies move to a special safe zone set up by the uncle. There are female soldiers assigned by Qin Liangyu to take care of them, people can't run away, outsiders can't enter, but it's safe. In addition to these daily charges, in the salt class, Zheng Guobao gathered dozens of old masters, day and night. Pick up the lights and fight at night, and scrutinize the accounts.

On the one hand, these old masters have been rewarded, and on the other hand, most of their family members are in the Qincha control, how dare they not work hard? The problems in the accounts of the salt merchants were found out one by one, and Zheng Guobao pursued the arrears according to the account books, refusing to relax at all. Whether you beg for mercy or curse, he is indifferent.

He was ingenious and created the theory of "late fees". For the salt tax that is in arrears and evaded, the interest shall be paid on a daily basis. The interest calculation method is also rounded up from zero. The tax owed is calculated according to the proportion of one tael of silver, which is a little more vicious than the debt of the king of Hades and the money of the seal. Rao is the seven outlines of the merchant private rich. was chased after the debt, and there was only a share of bankruptcy.

Since Qin Cha showed mercy to his subordinates, Xu Wencheng also knew the current affairs, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and took 600,000 taels of silver out to refund the salt class. And the shops opened by the Xu family in Yangzhou were originally not tax-paid. This time, he also took the initiative to pay the tax arrears of 100,000 taels of silver, and sent 50,000 taels of silver to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, which was counted as compensation.

Zheng Guobao is also generous, the salt of the Xu family, according to the number of the salt ticket corresponding to huàn, as long as you pay the tax, you can get the ticket, no need to queue, priority salt. Compared with the past, the Xu family only lost the profit of private salt, and other aspects were not damaged.

The largest smuggler of salt in the Ming Dynasty was originally a merchant of the Eight Outlines, but under Zheng Guobao's severe crackdown, there was no room for smuggling salt in recent years. Xu Wencheng strictly instructed his family to keep their heads down these days, don't go out, don't make trouble, so as not to anger Qincha, and they will end up in the end of the Seven Outline Businessmen.

With this confession, the small salt merchants in Yangzhou City were completely panicked. Even the Xu family bowed their heads, are we a hairball? This salt ticket is even recognized by the Xu family, don't we still recognize it? But when they want to buy salt tickets, I'm sorry, let's line up slowly, there are too many people to buy salt tickets, and it will be a while, but it won't be your turn.

These clerks and clerks are all Zheng Guobao's own people, and those salt merchants can't hand over the silver, and all the acquaintances in the past can't make a difference, so they are left to be in a hurry. I want to find a way to find the Yan Gang and the Cao Gang, but the people of the two gangs are now thinking about infighting. Each is running its own territory, and at the same time coveting other people's territory, wanting to get a few more iron tickets in the joint meeting, and wanting to sit more firmly on the throne of the deputy gang leader, as for helping the salt merchants? Forget it. If we don't know how to offend Uncle Guo, we don't want to die. Now the two gangs are the characters in Uncle Guo's pocket, let him handle it, who would dare to come out and compete with him?

Yangzhou salt merchants, who were rich in the world in the past, were beaten to the mud pond from the top of the nine heavens, and they hated Zheng Guobao to the core, but there was no way. I had no choice but to make two more cards when playing the leaf cards. One Zheng Guobao, one Shen Niangzi. Catch Zheng Guobao people, no matter how good the cards are, to lose all the chips, catch Shen Niangzi people will win, if Zheng Guobao and Shen Niangzi at the same time by a person caught in the hand, then the game will end immediately, the so-called curtain scattered.

Today's Yangzhou is a little more lively than in the past. Dongting merchants and Zhejiang merchants all came to Yangzhou to pan for gold. It is the people in the rivers and lakes of the two Zhejiang martial arts, and they all heard the wind and came to Yangzhou to choose a bargain. In Zheng Guobao's room, Luo Zhengfang, the old master of "Lian Qingfeng", Master Yikong of Tiantai Mountain, and more than a dozen leading figures in the martial arts of Liangzhejiang were all present. These people have only one purpose, to ask for salt tickets.

"Uncle Guo, we are old friends. The dog is in Shaanxi to help you speculate on river set stocks, and the old man is strongly supportive. No matter how tight the funds of refining Qingfeng are, as long as it is the matter of Uncle Guo, it is a big deal. There is no second word about spending money. Look at it, this time this salt ticket, you have to give us preferential treatment. ”

"Uncle Guo, the last time Meizhuang set up a banquet, the poor monk participated. You see, it's not easy for us to become monks, and our Tiantai Temple is not as good as Shaolin, and we don't have so many monks. But historically, we have contributed. When the Japanese invaders were in trouble, our Tiantai Temple sent monks and soldiers to fight against the Japanese and paid huge sacrifices, but the imperial court did not give a penny of compensation. For the sake of this, do the policies have to be tilted towards us? ”

"Uncle Guo, I'm Haisha Gang Pan Roar, little Pan. You have seen me, in Hengshan, we also fought the traitor Liu Ruguo together. We, the Haisha Gang, were not far from your side at that time, and protected your safety throughout the process. Look at it, we are in the salt business, if you don't give us this salt ticket, how can I explain it to the gang when I go back? ”

These people gossiped and expressed their loyalty, and the master of Tiantai Mountain was the most happy, and patted his thigh, "Uncle Guo, just say a number, how much rebate is required, we Tiantai Temple, we will never discount it." ”

"Rebates? Master, this kickback makes Uncle Guo look down. We Lian Qingfeng said that as long as we can take down the salt ticket, the old man will make an exception to create a three-mouth rainbow sword for you, to ensure that the materials are better than all the previous rainbow sword, it is the best of the best, and it is the best of the best. Sending a woman is definitely face-saving. ”

"Woman! To the woman! You just need to give us the salt ticket to the Haisha Gang, Xiao Pan and I will splash my life, the famous heroine of Liangzhejiang, you can order it casually, whoever you order, I will get whoever you want, even if you have a husband. ”

Zheng Guobao waved his hand to stop, and then said: "These two Huai salts, if you want to do them, it's not impossible." It's just that you have limited financial resources and can't eat much, and in the end you just want to sell smuggled salt. The private salt of Lianghuai can't be banned, but this private salt can only be made by me. As long as you agree to one condition for me, I will give you a note, and the private salt of these two Huai will be covered by you in the future. ”

"Conditions? What conditions? Uncle Guo, if you say a word, we will never discount it at all. "I heard that I can wrap two Huai private salt, these martial arts heroes are all in the spirit, as long as they can wrap the two Huai private salt, it is to break the house, Shi Shi killed his brother, there is nothing that can't be done. As for the heroines, that's not to mention the matter, with the salt ticket, are you afraid that those heroines will not unbutton?

"This condition is also simple, that is, you will keep an eye on the sales of Lianghuai salt for me. On the Banshu side, one or two are not allowed to be sold. If anyone breaks this rule, not only will he not be able to get the salt, but I will invite him to sit in the prison. Can you do this? ”
