Chapter 159
After the Lantern Festival, all parts of the two Huai have opened offices, and the Salt Transportation Division is no exception. 【Latest chapter reading. 】
Zhou Hong took his subordinates to inspect the salt factory, sorted out the official salt trafficking process again, found that the unreasonable points were changed, and also took people to verify the salt tax, and found that it had increased a lot compared with the past, and he was very relieved. Following the withdrawal of a large number of salt merchants, the market eliminated a number of salt merchants in its unique way, and those who really stayed may not be able to sell the official salt for the high profits in the past, and the price of salt has completely fallen to the point where ordinary people can afford to consume it on a daily basis, and they will not be afraid of the price of salt.
No matter what Guān G said about Zhou Hong, but the ordinary people were grateful to the salt transportation envoy Zhou Dade, in addition to some people giving gifts to the salt transportation division, there were also people who set up a shrine for him in the Jiangnan salt field, thanking him for doing practical things for the people of Lianghuai, so that they could eat salt and could afford to eat salt.
The two Huai salt roads have affected the national salt price, although there are well salts in Shu and alkaline salt in the northwest, but they are not as high as the output of the two Huai salt fields. The salt price of Lianghuai directly affects the salt price of the whole country of Dawei, and the decline of salt price is good news for the entire people of Dawei.
Although the salt officials complained a lot about Zhou Hong, since the rotten salt affairs were completely reversed by Zhou Hong, not only the salt price was stable, but even the salt tax was increased a lot.
Promotion and fortune, promotion in the front and fortune in the back, although there are shallow-eyed salt road officials feel that Zhou Hong is blocking his financial path, but more subordinates are overjoyed, secretly thinking that under the hands of this salt transport envoy, he has made political achievements, and the next evaluation is all excellent, are you afraid that he will not be promoted?
In the applause of the two Huai salt officials, the holy decree of Zhou Hong to enter Beijing to defend himself was transmitted to the Yangzhou Salt Transportation Division, and suddenly the two Huai salt roads shook, which shocked the subordinate officials. The man who secretly hated Zhou Hong for blocking his financial path was still gloating, and handed a small message to his colleagues: "I have already said that the surname Zhou can't do it like this, this is in the way of the eyes of anyone in Beijing, and he must be locked into Beijing." I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the future, and I don't know who the saint can let be the salt transport envoy this time. ”
If Qiao Liping had not been arrested, it could still be speculated that he had been promoted to the salt transport envoy, but he was still in prison in Dali Temple, and he didn't know what the Sacred Heart was.
The colleague who heard the small words secretly ridiculed him for his short-sightedness, compared to being greedy for temporary wealth, he was able to lead his subordinates to clean up the mess of the Lianghuai Salt Road with one hand, and he could also stabilize the price of salt and make the people praise him, and Zhou Hong, who set up a shrine for him in Jiangnan, was obviously more convincing.
Lock Zhou Hong's will was transmitted to the backyard of the Yanyun Division's office, and Mrs. Zhou was struck by a scorching thunder in half a day, only to feel dizzy and almost fall. Thanks to Mrs. Qin's quick eyes, she hurriedly stopped her waist and hugged her: "Madam...... Madame ......" The maids surrounded her, and she hurriedly urged: "Go and invite Dr. Liu to come over."
Xiao Yahuan hurriedly ran to the second gate to find a guard to ask for a doctor, who knew that when she got to the second gate, the mother-in-law guarding the door was already out of order, and half of the guard was not there. The angel came to deliver the decree, Zhou Hong's guards heard the will, and they all ran to the front hall, Zhou Hao was afraid that these two stunned people would be confused, and looked at Zhou Hong who was stunned after receiving the will, and felt very sad, but he couldn't help but worry about him.
Zhou Hao sent a guard to the tent to pay the silver, stuffed it into the hands of the angel who came to deliver the message, and sat down to serve tea, asking Zhou Hong about the origin of the disaster.
Zhou Hong was only stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses and regaining his previous calm and composure.
This time, it was Tong Wenyi, a scholar in front of the saint, who was a confidant of the saint, who took Zhou Hao's dot, and sat down with Zhou Hong to drink half a cup of tea, and first made enough rituals before saying: "Lord Zhou, let's go to Beijing, the saint is still waiting to return to life." ”
Zhou Hong glanced at Zhou Hao, left two sentences each to Mrs. Zhou and Ye Zhiqing, then took off his official hat and uniform, followed Tong Wenyi into the prisoner car, and sat down cross-legged.
Zhou Hao sent someone to deliver a message to Ye Zhiqing quickly, only saying that Zhou Hong had a word, so that she didn't have to panic, just wait for him in Yangzhou.
In the Rejuvenation Hall, before the Zhou Mansion guards came, there was still a joyful and strange atmosphere.
Ye Zhiqing has always had swollen stomach recently, uncomfortable, and a little nausea from time to time. She also thought that she had eaten something wrong, and ate two bites of light porridge every day, and she was afraid that Zhou Hong would ask endless questions when she learned that she was uncomfortable, so she hid it for a few days.
I drank two mouthfuls of porridge at random this morning, and when Zhou Hong was sent away, she took Su Ming and Lai Daqing to Huichun Hall for a consultation. Not long after sitting down, a woman holding a basket came in, the woman's basket was probably filled with salted fish, and the salty smell came to her face, Ye Zhiqing covered her mouth and rushed to the back on the spot, holding the small tree in the backyard and vomiting for a long time, not only vomiting all the porridge she ate in the morning, but also almost vomiting out the bitter gall.
Su Ming and Lai Daqing were scared half to death, one went to help her, and the other followed behind.
The woman didn't expect that the salted fish in her basket would make Dr. Ye sick, and she didn't dare to look at the frightened illness, so she slipped away with the basket.
Su Ming helped Ye Zhiqing walk around the yard twice, and was afraid that she would faint, so he couldn't stop asking, "Master, do you feel dizzy?" Wait for the smell of salted fish in front of you to dissipate before going in, so as not to smoke and vomit again. This woman is really, when our Rejuvenation Hall is a bazaar, take everything into it. It seems that in the future, the tiger girl will be asked to guard the door, so as not to bring everything in. ”
He himself is a fisherman, and he is used to smelling salted fish, and he thinks it is very kind, but others may not be able to smell it, and he is not surprised.
Ye Zhiqing took the warm water handed over by Lai Daqing and rinsed her mouth, making the two apprentices a little embarrassed to serve:
