Wang Zhaojing coughed and said: "Gonggong Cui miscalculated, half of the three-year tax in these places should be 15,000 taels per year." ”

Cui Wensheng was stunned for a moment, coughed violently a few times, and was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and asked, "What are you trying to do?" ”

Perhaps feeling that his question was too weak, and his position was a little loose, Eunuch Cui said with a stern expression: "Huai'an Mansion produces salt, and the salt tax income accounts for more than one-third of the national treasury, Qingjiangpu is the hub of Caoyun and the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for you to control these places, our family can't agree, and the imperial court can't agree."

"Haizhou salt industry, Qingjiangpu's Caoyun, we didn't control zhì, Haizhou has a local government, there is a salt administration yamen, Qingjiangpu has Huai'an prefect and Shanyang Zhixian, there are also household departments and Caoyun various yamen, now it's not running as usual, and when the canal opens, a qiē as usual, how can you say that it is controlled?" Wang Zhaojing asked indifferently.

Eunuch Cui shook his head, he was a little confused, what these young people said was very reasonable, but Cui Wensheng felt that it must not be simple, there must be traps and conspiracies that he couldn't think of, he began to regret a little, this time he came to Xuzhou for confidentiality, he didn't bring a staff member, Cui Wensheng boasted of being shrewd, thinking that it was just a negotiation with a few Xuzhou countryside sticks, who would have thought that this time the conversation was incomprehensible, if he could bring a staff member, even if he couldn't think of it, but to be able to consult each other in detail, it was better than being a person who was confused.

Thinking of Wei Zhongxian's confession in the letter, the eunuch Cui Wensheng was silent for a moment, cleared his throat and said: "Our family can't figure out your request, but our family also knows that no one in the world is willing to do a loss-making business, you must have your own plan to do this, and tell our family about this plan, otherwise even if our family agrees, we will be beaten back to the court afterwards, and not only will our family be guilty, but this appeasement will not be successful." ”

I don't know if it's the role of "half a percent of taxes in three years", Cui Wensheng's attitude has softened a lot.

Hearing his question, Wang Zhaojing hesitated, but turned his head to look at Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin smiled and said, "The court earns the money of the court, we earn our money, the court doesn't want it, we pick it up, isn't everyone happy?" ”

Although Zhao Jin's words were vague, Cui Wensheng understood after a little thought, this was similar to what he had seen and heard and what he thought on the road, Eunuch Cui breathed a sigh of relief, it was not unexpected by his own family, but he was a little disapproving, this business is a duckweed without roots, it is not a militaristic reliance at all, and if they want to make a fuss about it, these young people are still short-sighted.

Seeing that Eunuch Cui was silent, Wang Zhaojing asked tentatively, "Since this is the case, then this matter of Zhao'an is done?" ”

Cui Wensheng nodded subconsciously, although this trick was angry, it was much simpler than expected, this condition did not hurt the dignity of the imperial court, it was nothing more than the default rules of the center, of course, this center was Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong.

If you think about it, this requirement of not collecting exorbitant taxes makes it difficult for the upper and lower levels, but if it is changed to a disaster here and the tax is exempted for three years, the other party can promise a benefit of 10,000 taels per year, which is a good thing and a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Cui Wensheng nodded a lot, and his face softened, at this time, Zhao Jin, who was sitting there, opened his mouth again: "Grandpa Cui, I know that this negotiation cannot be on paper, there must be a tacit understanding up and down, Xuzhou is not going to rebel, the yamen of the four counties in Xuzhou are all there, and the same is true everywhere, however, if someone feels aggrieved and shortness of breath and wants to make trouble, it will definitely not be us who will be embarrassed and unlucky, Grandpa Cui, you have to tell it carefully."

When these words were spoken, the atmosphere that had just eased was gone, and the eunuch Cui Wensheng was in a high position, although there were several ups and downs, honor and disgrace, but his own powerful position was derived from the Great Ming, and naturally he could not tolerate such contempt from others, not to mention that there were still a few hairy boys, but when it came to this point, there was no way to tear his face, Cui Wensheng just said coldly: "Our family promised to do nothing, and we have to report to the court, and everyone in the inner court and the outer court will recognize it, long live the lord, this can be done." ”

"If it's not so troublesome, Grandpa Wei will agree." Zhao Jin said with a smile.

Cui Wensheng narrowed his eyes, but this made him a little confused, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, Gonggong Wei entered the ceremonial supervisor, Wang An was imprisoned and now I am afraid that he will not be able to live, everyone in the inner court is bowing down, naturally it is prestigious, the inner court, and the outer court does not dare to disrespect, the current matter, from beginning to end, is presided over by Gonggong Wei, so as to be all under control, but the key is, how does the young martial artist of Xuzhou know in front of him?

Don't say that he is just a Xuzhou stick, even the officialdom of Nanzhili, the core place of Nanjing, only knows the high power of Duke Wei, but no one can clearly understand that Duke Wei has reached such a point, how does he know?

"Even if Gonggong Wei nods, this matter may not be able to be done, you don't know how much trouble you have caused, Caoyun was cut off by you, it is almost October now, and when the river is closed, there is not enough food for the winter in the capital, no matter how vague it is, it will shake the government and the opposition, and then it will inevitably get to the bottom of it, but I am afraid that by that time, the court will have to fight if it doesn't want to fight, and such a major event will always have to be explained by the head." Eunuch Cui said slowly, although what he explained was the truth, but he also didn't want Zhao Jin to be too proud.

But after saying these words, Cui Wensheng didn't see any caution or disappointment on the faces of Zhao Jin and the people around him, Zhao Jin just nodded, and then said: "Grandpa Cui is right, but it's almost winter, the autumn is high and the horses are fat, and the border towns have also reached the season of strict defense, the Jurchens and Mongolia must be strictly guarded, and the Liaozhen side is the most important, even if the imperial court wants to fight, I don't know where to draw troops and horses?" Or transfer the border army to the Beijing camp, then the Tartars don't have to be guarded? ”

"Taking advantage of the danger of others, not knowing the righteousness at all, it is really shameless" Eunuch Cui scolded angrily, but he was shocked in his heart, he originally saw that Zhao Jin was such an outstanding character, thinking that it was common for young heroes to be far from the same age, but this analysis of the general trend of the world made Cui Wensheng doubt again, who was behind Zhao Ziying's back, that Wang Youshan? Jingshi's letter said that he was also an ordinary person, so who could it be?

was reprimanded by Cui Wensheng like this, Zhao Jin, Chen Huang, Ji Xiang and Liu Yong all did not change their faces, and Ji Xiang even had a sneering sneer on his face, but Wang Zhaojing had a trace of embarrassment on his face, and he couldn't help but bow his head, and then hurriedly raised his head again, because he was a little anxious, and he didn't even notice that Chen Huang glanced over.

"It's not about taking advantage of people's danger, if we want to take advantage of people's danger and the country's wealth is in trouble, this time we won't accept appeasement at all, just continue to fight." Zhao Jin said it very normally

Eunuch Cui was so angry by Zhao Jin's words that he laughed out loud again, his voice was unconsciously sharp, and he only said there: "Young people don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth if they win two games, there are two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, from the long live Lord to the people below, everyone has backbone, the change of the civil fort back then, the rise of the little prince, I answered into the Kou, the southeast is in trouble, this country and the society have survived again and again, how dare you be so big with this little movement, Zhao Jin, we see that you and others are also talents, maybe they went astray for a while, and did such a wrong thing, It is better to take advantage of this Zhao'an to enter the right path, serve the official family, and glorify the ancestors. ”

Unconsciously, Cui Wensheng has begun to persuade and recruit, Da Ming has always been appeased by the thieves who can't surrender, not to mention that Cui Wensheng really thinks that the other party is talented.

Zhao Jin smiled, but he was not excited, he just said to himself: "Gonggong Cui may not know, it will take at least ten days for the news from Sichuan to be transmitted to Jingshi Kuaima, but it will not take ten days to get to Jiangnan, the reason is also very simple, Sichuan salt is far cheaper than Huai salt, and the salt merchants in Yangzhou have sent people to keep an eye on Sichuan, and as soon as the salt from Sichuan and Guangzhou flows into Huguang, they will use a fast boat to transmit a message to Yangzhou, or use the local government, or go to the imperial court to carry out activities."

"So what?" Cui Wensheng was impatient when he heard it, and he didn't know why he was talking about such a meaningless thing.

"So the news from Sichuan, this side will know very quickly, the news I just learned the day before yesterday, the Sichuan luxury family pulled the flag and rebelled, killed the governor and the general soldier in Chongqing, and was attacking the prefecture and county, saying that it was going to besiege Chengdu, such a big chaos, the imperial court must move troops to encircle and suppress, and it is not possible to mobilize the border troops of Shaanxi and Shanxi, right?" Zhao Jin asked.

Hearing this, Cui Wensheng was stunned at first, then his face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's really a wolf's ambition, I don't know how to serve the country, but I took advantage of the fire to rob, this luxury family really deserves to be cut by a thousand knives."

"In the end, Grandpa Cui is a character who has been the master of ceremonies and supervisors, he has been in the center for a long time, and he knows the affairs of the world, when the news came, I didn't know who the luxury family was." Cui Wensheng's immovable rebuke made Wang Zhaojing very embarrassed and annoyed, and couldn't help but sneer.

But at this time, Cui Wensheng was not as confident as Fang Cai, he stood for a while, but sat down by himself, and everyone could see that his feelings were very low

"Yongning's luxury family is in chaos, I'm afraid that Shui'an's family is also unstable," Eunuch Cui said to himself.

After Zhao Jin heard this, he looked at Wang Zhaojing, Wang Zhaojing also shook his head, the name of Yongning luxury family was still known from Yangzhou a few days ago, and he didn't hear anything about the Shuixian family at that time.

Talking to himself, Cui Wensheng slapped the table heavily, and said with hatred and indignation: "These local officials are favored by the country, but they are all wolf ambitions, once something happens in the Ming Dynasty, no one wants to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but they are all thinking about biting the flesh on the Daming rivers and mountains, and they should really kill them all."
