He looked at them and slowly spoke, "What is the matter with the prefect's coming here today, it is better to get straight to the point." ”

"I want to ask Boss Zheng to reopen the salt store and sell official salt." Heng Xinyuan said.

"Reopen the salt shop?" Zheng Yuan smiled bitterly, "What the prefect said is light, where does the salt come from?" How to settle this Pingxi Hou Mansion? I've done my best, adults can look at my house, all the antiques and jade that can be sold have been sold, and now I only have a broken body, and I really don't want to go through this troubled water again. ”

"Boss Zheng, I have detained Li Qin, the history of salt transportation, and returned the salt warehouse to the government, you don't have to worry about this, today I wanted the four major salt stores to reopen their warehouses to sell salt, but no one was willing ......to come," Heng Xinyuan smiled.

"Heh, they, they have already been in cahoots with Xue Ruijin, and they are all complicit, they must have received Xue Ruijin's instructions a long time ago, and they are not allowed to cooperate with the government, Lord Heng, you still don't bother with them." Zheng Yuan took a sip of hot tea and breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was full of helpless wry smiles.

"That's why I came to find Boss Zheng, because the people of the entire Liangzhou City know that you are an upright businessman, and if you set an example, I think it will definitely give Pingxi Hou Mansion a heavy blow."

Heng Xinyuan's words were sonorous and powerful, so that the fire that had been extinguished in Zheng Yuan's heart was rekindled, he got up and walked around the house a few times, and suddenly stopped and looked at Heng Xinyuan, "Lord Heng, do you really want to bring down the Pingxi Hou Mansion?" ”

"Seriously, and the official has already begun to take action."

But Zheng Yuan still couldn't believe it, "Do you know that the power and status of this Pingxi Hou Mansion in Liangzhou and even the entire Liangyuan, you are just a newly appointed prefect, what ability and ability do you have to convince me?" ”

"Boss Zheng, I think, since my husband is willing to come to see you alone today, it is enough to show his determination and resourcefulness, right?" Wan Bingyu helped on the side, and a good-looking smile bloomed, "Besides, Boss Zheng, isn't this the thing that makes you depressed all day long?" Isn't that how your illness came about? Since you all have this intention, why not give it a try? ”

These words hit Zheng Yuan's heart directly, he laughed twice, and readily agreed, "Okay!" Just Mrs. Chong's words, I, Zheng Yuan, am willing to unite with adults today and do my best for the people of Liangzhou! ”

Heng Xinyuan stood up and bowed deeply, "This official has thanked Boss Zheng for the people of Liangzhou in advance." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem! My lord...... Adults don't have to be polite...... Zheng Yuan was short of breath for a while, his face was flushed, and he had to sit on a chair to breathe.

Wan Bingyu hurriedly poured a pill and handed it to him, "Boss Zheng, take it quickly, it will feel a lot better." ”

Zheng Yuan took the pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and calmed down his mind, but after a while, he really felt much better, and even his consciousness was refreshed, and he said in surprise, "Madam, what kind of medicine is this?" Why is this magical? I've been looking for famous doctors for the past six months, but I haven't cured ......."

"This, Boss Zheng don't ask more, anyway, it's a good medicine for you!" Wan Bingyu laughed proudly.

In the afternoon, in the midst of a burst of firecrackers, Zheng's salt store reopened, and a large number of official salt was transported from the salt warehouse to the salt store, which was guarded by the government government.

And Heng Xinyuan and Zheng Yuan stood outside the gate of the salt store, waiting for the villagers who came to buy salt, but after waiting for half an hour, no one came.

He was a little puzzled, turned to Zheng Yuan and asked, "Boss Zheng, why didn't anyone come?" ”

"They were all frightened by Pingxihou, and they thought that we were going to join forces to do something." Zheng Yuan said calmly, "If you want to change this status quo, it won't happen overnight, so Lord Heng has to show sincerity." ”

Heng Xinyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, raised a smile, called Xu Liang, and instructed him, "Xu Liang, you immediately bring five or six people and knock on the door from door to door, and say that the government will sell official salt at a low price in Zheng's Salt Store today, and ask them to come quickly." After a pause, he added, "It doesn't matter if they don't have any money at home, they can pay on credit." ”

"Okay, good, let's take people with you!" Xu Liang received the order and hurriedly took the five officials to walk through the streets and alleys.

At first, the villagers were so frightened that they didn't dare to open the door when they saw that it was someone from the government, but later they heard them shouting enthusiastically, "Go buy salt, the government has sold official salt in Zheng's Bank!" Cheaper than cheap salt! His heart began to move, and he walked out with a cloth bag in twos and threes.

Not long after, there was a long queue in front of the Zheng's salt store, and the villagers were beaming with joy on their faces, and they all praised that Liangzhou City finally came to a blue sky lord, and he no longer only knew the huge greed and evil of looting the people.

The people who bought the salt seemed to be running home excitedly, Heng Xinyuan looked at such a scene, and couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy, but fortunately, tonight, the people of Liangzhou City could eat a meal with flavor.

In the crowd, Heng Xin saw a woman standing at the corner of the street, not too tall, not dressed like a poor family, looking around this side, he was a little curious, and he was afraid of any chaos, so he walked over to ask the reason.

"What are you doing here, girl? Are you here to buy salt? ”

"I ...... I'm not ......" The woman suddenly panicked, and lowered her head and looked around sneakily, as if she was avoiding someone, and finally asked, "Are you the newly appointed Liangzhou Governor Heng Xinyuan?" ”

"It's me, what's the matter with you?" Heng Xinyuan maintained a kind smile.

The woman's nervous face finally showed a little smile, her eyes lit up, and she pulled him and said, "You are Master Heng, I am Pingxi ......"

Before the words fell, there was a loud and noisy sound in the distance, Heng Xinyuan turned his head and saw that it was Xue Ruijin who had brought someone to smash the field, with a fierce momentum and full of anger.

What made him even more strange was that the woman who had something to say to him just now suddenly ran away as if she had seen the devil.

Caring about it so much, Heng Xinyuan hurriedly returned to the front of the Yanhang Gate, which was already surrounded by Xue Ruijin's family, they were all five big and three thick, carrying wooden sticks in their hands, fierce and vicious, and the villagers who were driven to the side by them trembled and dispersed.

"Marquis Xue, what are you going to do here?" Heng Xinyuan stood in front of him and asked.

"Hehe, what am I going to do, Master Heng, did I warn you a long time ago, don't do it against me, why don't you listen?"

Xue Ruijin looked arrogant, put the wooden stick in his hand against his chest, and warned viciously, "Since you are not interested, then I will not be polite to you, don't you want to sell salt here?" I'll see how you sell it, come on, smash it for me! ”

As soon as the words fell, the dozen or so family members picked up the wooden sticks in their hands and smashed them on the salt bags and salt baskets on the table, and for a while, all the snow-white salt was sprinkled on the ground, and from a distance, it looked like it had just snowed, and the air was still filled with the smell of saltiness, they shouted and laughed uncontrollably.
