Yao Yungui said: "The big landowners of Longdu Mansion now hate Sun Zhaoyuan so much that they grit their teeth, if they cultivate grain next season, secretly contact these big households, and no longer grow grain, the court will not be able to collect grain and grass taxes, and then they can start to play to the court. ”

Du Qiang said with a smile: "Lord Yao is really clever, these big landowners, I heard that they want to rectify Sun Zhaoyuan, they will fully cooperate, at that time, the big landowners do not hire people to do long-term labor, the people have no way to live, and the court can't collect taxes, Longdu Mansion will inevitably be in chaos, how can Sun Zhaoyuan clean it up?" If you join him like this, even if the emperor wants to help him, he can't help. ”

Yao Yungui said: "This second strategy is the matter of the road and bridge in Weifu, Wu Jing, you go back to Weifu, find a local road and bridge household, pick dozens of places with many passers-by, build some dangerous bridges and dangerous roads, and wait for the land of Longdu Mansion to abandon the farming incident, then secretly find the masters of the rivers and lakes, and at the same time let these dozens of roads and bridges all be destroyed, the more people who die, the better, then, we have a Samson Zhaoyuan's truth, that is, the project audit is improper, resulting in the collapse of the project, resulting in the death of the people. ”

Wu Jing also smiled: "Lord Yao, rest assured, these big road and bridge households have a clear understanding of the terrain of Luwei Mansion, and when the time comes, it will be easy for the bridge to collapse and the landslide to bury the road." The death of hundreds of people is a well-known scandal throughout the country, and if Sun Zhaoyuan is involved by virtue of this scandal, I am afraid that he will not be able to wash it clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River. I'll handle it when I go back, and I'll do it steadily. ”

Yao Yungui said: "This third strategy, I'm afraid I have to sacrifice myself to drag Sun Zhaoyuan off the horse." ”

Jiang Chao was shocked and asked, "What strategy?" Do you want to pull Master Yao into the water? ”

Yao Yungui said: "Before, I gave a part of the restaurant inn business under my name to Sun Zhaoyuan, wanting to have a good relationship with him, but I didn't want to, Sun Zhaoyuan made my money, but he still wanted to cut off my financial route. These restaurants and inns are the silver that Jiang Yuanyun usually respects me, and no matter whether the business is good or bad, they have a stable income. After the strategy of Longdu Mansion and Luwei Mansion took effect, he played him for corruption and accepted bribes, so that Sun Zhaoyuan would not die and be crippled. ”

Jiang Chao said: "If this is the case, you must obtain Jiang Yuanyun's confession before you can actually accept bribes, and Lord Yao also has a shareholder, if Sun Zhaoyuan is found to have accepted bribes, then Lord Yao will also be dismissed." This strategy, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 yourself, I am afraid that it is not good not to use it. ”

Yao Yungui said: "Jiang Yuanyun's side, I will talk about it." Now, it is the place of life and death for us, if we can't defeat Sun Zhaoyuan, I'm afraid that we people will not have a good life, Jiang Yuanyun, admit this crime, eat a few years in prison, and come out, still glorious and rich, this account is also cost-effective. And a few months ago, I transferred all the shares, and Jiang Yuanyun's confession when he arrived did not affect me, and I was safe and sound. ”

Jiang Chao, Jiang Sheng and the others said: "Lord Yao is really worried about these brothers in Yunxi Prefecture, please accept my wait." Then he bowed solemnly on the ground.

At this point, several people made a plan and acted according to the plan.

Sun Zhaoyuan is also laying out here, and he wants to return all the products of Jinhe and Yuhe to the national treasury.

Sun Zhaoyuan summoned Ma Rushan, Tan Jiaxing, Jin Fei, and Jiang Fugui to his governor's compound, ate and drank, and after a few people finished eating, Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Now I have been in Yunxi Prefecture for almost a year, although the Holy God has entrusted me to complete the small half and increase the tax of Yunxi Prefecture by a few percent, but the most important Jinhe Yuhe in this state, I still don't know how to start rectifying. A few brothers, if there is any good way, let's talk about it. ”

The few people who came looked at each other and were speechless for a while. Sun Zhaoyuan saw that several people didn't speak, so he named Tan Jiaxing and said: "Lord Tan, these people here now are the most familiar with this Yunxi Prefecture, what is the best way to do this?" ”

Tan Jiaxing scratched his head and said: "This matter is quite difficult to do, Yao Yungui's all methods are not easy to verify, except for directly sealing the Song Junshan cave that refines gold and jade, there seems to be no other way, but if this cave is sealed, it will inevitably set off a big case, if this is the case, Yunxi Prefecture will be in chaos, and it is contrary to the meaning of the saint not to tear face with the officials of Yunxi Prefecture, so I really can't think of any way." ”

Jin Fei said: "If you really catch those craftsmen in the cave, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out who is behind it." Those craftsmen only know how to do things, who is organizing behind them, who is the owner of the money, and how to traffick. Even if it is checked, the evidence is not correct. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I also thought about going to check the cave, but I expected that there were people working inside, even if they were caught, the confession would not be complete, and they would tear their faces with these people in Yunxi Prefecture." It always feels inappropriate. ”

Jin Fei said suddenly: "If you really can't think of a way, can you auction all the proceeds of Jinhe Yuhe in the future, and the one with the highest price will get it?" In this way, the huge rich and the rich all over the country come to sign up, the imperial court only collects the cash, and the annual output of Jinhe and Yuhe is also a fixed number, and the huge rich and the rich see that it is profitable, and they will raise the price, so we don't have to go through all the trouble to think of ways to prevent private digging and theft, naturally those huge rich and giant will find their own way, and Yao Yungui and them will fight, and we can stay out of the matter. ”

When Sun Zhaoyuan heard this, he smiled and said: "This method is also a unique way, if there is really a businessman who comes to take over this Jinhe Yuhe, I really dare to report to the saint, and I am afraid that the strong dragon will not be able to suppress the head snake, these huge rich giants, seeing that Yao Yungui and others control this Jinhe Yuhe, knowing this momentum, how dare they come?" If he comes, he will not be killed by Yao Yungui and others at the boundary of Yunxi Prefecture. ”

Ma Rushan suddenly said at this time: "Lord Sun, although ordinary businessmen must not dare to come, but when I was in Jiangzhou, I heard that the richest man in Jiangzhou, Sonazza, is a person with hands and eyes, and in the Jiangzhou territory, everyone wants to give him a few points, it turns out that this person is the son of the current queen mother's sister, so ordinary officials and eunuchs dare not provoke." This person is also a person who likes to make money, in Jiangzhou, set up many industries, in order to make money, I heard that he also privately sold salt to the hanging island and the king of Nayong. If this person fell in love with the Jinhe and Yuhe business, we hit it off, he paid money to the imperial court to rent this land of gold and jade, and took care of it, even Yao Yungui couldn't help him. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "If he really has this ability, it is the right way to let the Queen Mother be his backstage and fight with Yao Yungui for the mining of the Jinhe and Yuhe." It is expected that this person is very wealthy, even if he pays a huge rent to the imperial court, he wants to earn more money than all his properties in Jiangzhou, and he will definitely agree. Master Ma, then I will bother you to go to Jiangzhou in person, discuss such important matters with him, and be sure to let him come to Yunxi Prefecture to make a living by digging this gold and jade. ”

Jiang Fugui thought about it, felt that something seemed inappropriate, and muttered in his mouth: "This Jinhe Yuhe belongs to the imperial court, how can we have the right to transfer it to others?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Don't worry, if you can really negotiate with Sonazha, then I will play the Holy Lord, make a special decree, and issue an edict to sell all the future rights and interests of Jinhe Yuhe to Sonazha." ”

A few people thought for a while, and felt that this was the only way to deal with it at this time, so they decided on the plan.

Ma Rushan got up and rushed to Jiangzhou to see this Sonazza.

Sonaza is the son of the Queen Mother's sister. The Empress Dowager is well aware of the righteousness and knows that if her relatives are in power in the imperial court, they may harm the society. And Sonaza this son, strong by nature, since he was a child, he did something to make his parents scratch his head, only the court officials and nobles, the children of the prince's concubine, were bullied and scolded by Sonazza, if he was allowed to continue in Beijing, he was afraid that he would cause a big mess, so he sent their family to Jiangzhou, and issued a decree that his descendants were not allowed to enter politics and enter the government, and they were not allowed to step into the capital half a step again, from now on they were only allowed to do business, and it was expected to cut off their road to the king's family, far away from the capital, trapped in the state capital, even if they caused trouble, it was only in local trouble, It will not lose the hearts of the ministers of the court, and it will not harm the society. But although the queen mother sent them to the state capital, after all, they are a family of blood, and they usually give many privileges and conveniences, so that the road of doing business in Sonazha is smooth all the way, and they have accumulated millions of taels of family funds, and their lives are comfortable.

Sonaza wanted to continue to run a business in Jiangzhou, but he didn't want Ma Rushan to come to the door that day to discuss the matter of Jinhe and Yuhe.

When Sonaza heard this, he immediately became excited, and said, "Then Governor Sun Zhaoyuan can really lease the Jinhe and Yuhe to me, and I will find someone to dig it?" ”

Ma Rushan said: "This matter is a top secret matter. If the official has this mind, as long as he goes to Yunxi Prefecture to talk to Lord Sun in detail, and when Lord Sun goes to the court, he can sign and draw the pledge and issue the document. ”

Sonaza turned to the fox and said suspiciously: "That golden river and jade river, famous all over the world, how can the imperial court not eat this fat meat and throw it to the people, isn't there a big secret in it?" ”

Ma Rushan naturally told the truth, and said: "Although the Jinhe and Yuhe belong to the imperial court, but the local dragon of Yunxi Prefecture is entrenched, and the Jinhe and Yuhe are privately dug and stolen in private, and the imperial court can only get a little gold and jade. Don't dare to turn the stubborn illness around. ”

Sonaza muttered in his mouth: "Yunxi Prefecture, Yunxi Prefecture, Yunxi Prefecture......" suddenly remembered something, and said: "Yunxi Prefecture is not the state capital where Yao Yungui was the political envoy?" ”

Ma Rushan said: "Exactly, could it be that Wang Guanren and Master Yao were old acquaintances before?" ”

Sonaza said: "How can it be an old acquaintance, then Yao Yungui heard that in Yunxi Prefecture, it will be windy and rainy, and he has long been famous." Two years ago, there were still people who wanted to go to Yunxi Prefecture with me, walk down his doorway, and see if there was any good business to intervene, but my friend went to Yunxi Prefecture to investigate, but when he came back, he said that this person would only distribute the business to the local people in Yunxi Prefecture, and the rest of the people in the state capital, if they want to take root here, I am afraid that it will be difficult, so I dispelled this idea. When you tell me about it today, I remember this past. ”
