"Aunt Sai, you come to my house, you still need to do this, don't they all know you?" Meng Yan asked strangely.

"I don't want them to know I've been here!"

"Why, it's not that they don't know about your relationship with me, and they won't go out and talk nonsense." Meng Yan Road.

"Did Master Fu look for you today?"

"Found."

"Did he ask you to cooperate with Heihu Mountain to smuggle salt and iron to Liaodong?" Sai Xiaoyu asked.

"Aunt Sai, isn't this something that the three of you discussed?"

"What was negotiated, it was discussed between Master Guo and Master Fu, they are testing your ambitions!" Sai Xiaoyu didn't have a good airway.

"There's no need to test me, is it?" Meng Yan felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back spine, he was ambitious, but it might not be the ambition they imagined.

"Ever since they told you about your background, the two of them have been worried that as you become more and more official, your ambitions will grow bigger and bigger, and eventually you will become interested in that position......"

"To be an emperor?" Meng Yan was stunned, this idea was not unprecedented, but it was all before the crossing, and now, he really didn't want to be an emperor.

How tired it is to be an emperor, not to mention that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is more and more wretched, and he has no freedom not to say it, and if he wants to meet a powerful minister, he will have to be aggrieved.

"Don't you want to, this position was supposed to be yours." Sai Xiaoyu Road.

Meng Yan was silent, this question was not easy to answer, he didn't even think about it, not to mention that he had any noble thoughts, even if he didn't. He also wouldn't be lighthearted and would want to try to do that position.

"Aunt Sai, I can't answer you about this, first, I never thought about it, and second, what will happen in the future, you and I can't control it."

"Stone, if you say you don't want to, Aunt Sai won't believe it, if you say you want to, Aunt Sai will try her best to stop you. But you say so. Aunt Sai really believes in you, because what you say is honest and in your heart, the future is indeed beyond your control. Sai Xiaoyu said.

"Aunt Sai. The smuggling of salt and iron to Liaodong. We don't do that. Others will do the same, and you don't know if you're in charge of the Public Opinion Division? ”

"Yes, I know. Smuggling salt and iron to Liaodong, the East Factory has been doing it, but the amount they do is not large, only about 50,000 catties of pig iron every year, and the illegal salt is only 5,000 leads. "Sai Xiaoyu.

"Then this time the East Factory is cooperating with Heihushan, is it planning to expand the scale of smuggling?" Meng Yan asked.

"Yes, they plan to make 200,000 catties of pig iron and 30,000 taels of salt!"

"A salt is transported to Liaodong, at least three taels of silver can be earned, a year, that is nearly 100,000 taels of silver, pig iron, 200,000 catties of pig iron is estimated to earn 10,000 taels of silver, so calculated, the profit earned by smuggling pig iron is far less than that of illegal salt!"

"Yes, there is a big shortage of salt in Liaodong, and the imperial court has used the Kaizhong method to alleviate it, but the official salt is too expensive, almost twice as much as the private salt, so there are many salt lords who take risks and sell illegal salt to Liaodong to earn high profits." Sai Xiaoyu Road.

"Then why not lower the price of salt?"

"Reducing the price of salt, it is not easy to say, the salt merchants have to get back the money they make every year, and the freight is expensive, a pound of salt is transported to Liaodong, at least twice the cost of the Guannai." Sai Xiaoyu.

"These salt barons are on the sea route, right?"

"Yes, by land, there are so many checkpoints, the cost of private salt is greater than that of official salt, and there is still profit to be made from private salt?" Sai Xiaoyu nodded.

"For smuggling at sea, there must be big ships, and there must be captains and sailors who know how to sail, which is not easy to do." Meng Yan Road.

"Stone, this matter is very risky, and Aunt Sai doesn't want you to do this." Sai Xiaoyu persuaded.

"Aunt Sai, I know, but shipbuilding is one of my long-term goals." Meng Yandao, the era of great navigation has come, if the Westerners are allowed to specialize in beauty, then he will not come for nothing?

As long as you can do it, you must do it, and you must do your best.

"What should be said, Aunt Sai has told you, you are old and have your own opinions, you don't need me to say more."

"Thank you Aunt Sai, I can also understand Uncle Guo and Uncle Fu, they are also for my good." Meng Yan said, "Aunt Sai, don't blame them"

"Okay, Aunt Sai listens to you." Sai Xiaoyu nodded, Guo Nu is Meng Yan's father-in-law after all, and Fu Xiaochen is an insider, so it is not worth it for such a trivial matter.

"Thank you, Aunt Sai!"

"Aunt Sai is gone, that girl was good just now, since she is willing, it's not bad to accept the warm bed." Sai Xiaoyu smiled and disappeared.

Meng Yan lay down, he couldn't sleep for a long time, the stall was a little big, and he couldn't take care of it.

The matter of Liaodong should probably be put off for a while.

"Son, rinse your mouth!"

"Magi, what's wrong with your eyes?" Meng Yan looked up and saw Mei Ji standing behind him with a pair of red eyes.

"No, nothing."

"Mei Ji, you are now from my Meng Mansion, what else can you not sue me?" Meng Yan asked.

"It's okay, rub it!"

"I didn't sleep all night because I rejected you last night?"

"No, it's not ......" Maggie quickly shook her hand in denial.

"You say, if you stay in Mobei, I'm afraid you will be the favorite concubine of Toktobuhua, why do you want to come to Daming?" Meng Yan let out a long sigh.

"I, I ......"

"Tokhovi doesn't dislike you, in fact, he can send someone to check it, you're still in good shape, it's fine."

Mei Ji's pink face flushed with shame.

"What am I telling you to do here, as long as you remember, one day in the Meng Mansion, no one will dare to bully you." Meng Yan Road.

"Skywalker ......"

"Here, my lord, morning, you have something to order."

"Have you got breakfast?"

"It's been a long time ago, the sister-in-law of the Zhang family made gnocchi soup." Lin Tianxing agreed.

"Eat, go to the Yamen!"

"Good morning, adult!"

"Morning!"

"My lord, the room has been cleaned and the tea is boiling." A diligent servant is diligent and diligent.

"Thank you!"

"My lord, this is Jiao Hong's confession. There are a lot of them, sort out some of them, and show them to the adults first. Cai Jin walked in.

"Mr. Cai, how is the register of the Hejian Guild Hall, are there any new clues?" Meng Yan asked.

"Not yet, but the business of this Hejian Hall is quite good, and the people who come and go are the big people in Beijing, the masters who spend a lot of money."

"We don't care about these, all the records and people related to the case will be transcribed first." Meng Yan commanded.

"Whoa."

"My lord, the Jinyi Wei Public Opinion Division Baihu Qufeng begs to see!"

"Let him in!"

"Under the mark, see Meng Deputy Qianhu!" Qu Feng is a thin and capable man. After coming in. He bowed to Meng Yan.

"Master Qu is exempt, please sit, come, serve tea!"

"Thank you, Lord Meng!"

"Lord Meng. Black Tiger Mountain sent someone to spread the word. You want to see us. Qu Feng directly explained the future meaning.

"Oh. Do you want to see the official by name? ”

"That's not, they want to see Master Fu, how can Lord Fu see them lightly?" Qu Feng Dao.

"Hmm. We don't just want to see them, let's hang them for three days before we talk about it. Meng Yan smiled.

Qu Feng smiled: "What Lord Meng said is slightly the same as what Master Fu is a hero sees!" ”

"It's the first time Master Qu has come to me, right?"

"Yes, Lord Meng is here to perform his duties, in an orderly manner, and the busy scene is completely different from those yamen in the capital!" Qu Feng felt it and said.

"Master Qu praised it falsely, please!"

South City, Hongyun Inn.

"Sanniang, did you say that the person surnamed Fu from Jinyi Weibeiya can see us?" A young woman in a red jacket and a ponytail skirt is clinging to a woman in her thirties.

But seeing that this woman has a bewitching figure, the bridge of her nose is high, and her dark eyes inadvertently reveal a trace of evil light.

The girl had a healthy complexion, and a wild beauty exuded from her body.

These are two big beauties, one big and one small.

"Tiger girl, this is not outside the gate, when we get here, we have to follow the rules of others, we are here to save people, not to make trouble." The person who spoke was the fourth child of Black Tiger Mountain, a young man and a third mother.

In fact, she is just surnamed Hu, with a single name and a cloud character, but she is the third in the family, so everyone simply calls her Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang.

"I know, Qiu Lao Wu is really useless, he actually let Jinyiwei arrest him, isn't he usually coaxed?" Tiger Girl said with a disdainful expression.

"Tiger girl, this is the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, the master is like a cloud, we are the dominant outside the pass, but when we get to the pass, we can't be arrogant." Hu Yun warned that she was also chased and killed in the Guan, so she fled outside the Guan.

It's been ten years, and she's back, the capital hasn't changed much, but people are things and people.

"Sanniang, you are also from Guannei?"

"Yes, I'm from Henan!" Hu Yun's feelings were a little low, and he was forced to go away and join Black Tiger Mountain, which was all a last resort.

Back then, she was chased and killed, fled to the outside of the gate, and was rescued by the boss of Black Tiger Mountain, Black Tiger, and joined Black Tiger Mountain after her injury, and sat on the fourth place in Black Tiger Mountain.

"Sanniang, why don't we go to your hometown after we save Qiu Lao Wu?"

"My hometown has long been empty, what are you going to do?"

"Sanniang!"

"Come in!"

"The messenger has returned, would you like to see him?" The person who came in was the Wu Yougen who Meng Yan deliberately let go that day.

"No need, what do you say?" Hu Sanniang asked in a deep voice.

"The words have been handed over, but it's hard to say if people are willing to see us." Wu Yougen is colorful.

"I already knew that people are officials, we are bandits, and it would be good if we didn't send someone to arrest us." Hu Sanniang said.

"Sanniang, it's not a way to just wait, why don't we contact the people from Dongchang again?"

"No, if it weren't for Dongchang this time, how could the fifth child be in prison?" Hu Sanniang immediately vetoed.

"But the fifth master is doing things for them, but the brother put his life into it, not to mention, the fifth master was also arrested, and there is a token of the fortune ticket number, that is the most important thing."

"Stupid, the fifth child had a chance to retreat, why did he stab that Meng Yan?" Hu Sanniang scolded.

"The fifth master wants to avenge the dead brothers, and there is ......"

"And it's greedy for the bounty offered by the East Factory, right?" Hu Sanniang sneered, "I failed once, I didn't accept the lesson, and I actually sent it to the door, if this Meng Yan is easy to deal with, why didn't Dongchang take action by himself, and was used as a gun by others!" ”

"Yes, Sanniang said yes, but please save the fifth master and Ma Kui!" Wu Yougen knelt down.

"Get up, I'm here for the fifth child's business, as long as the fifth child can come out, a Ma Kui is nothing." Hu Sanniang said.

"Xie Sanniang!" (To be continued......)
