The accounts of the Yanzheng Yamen can only be said to have no accounts.

After flipping through the account books of many past years, Li Yunze said that what kind of stuff this horse is riding.

The books are a mess.

The dates are confusing, the characters are confusing, and even the numbers are confusing.

It's like there is a page in which it is recorded that in a certain year and a certain month, a certain amount of salt was delivered to a salt merchant.

How much is it, and how much does the salt merchant spend on it?

I didn't remember a single thing.

There is also a certain amount of salt from the salt field in a certain year and a certain month.

Which salt farm, how much salt is produced, and to whom?

I didn't remember a single thing.

This kind of account book, Li Yunze directly shook his hand and smashed it on the chubby belly of Zhang Yang, the imperial historian of the salt patrol.

Li Yunze, who was sitting in the chair, sneered, "That's how you patrol the salt imperial history?" ”

No one thought that Zhang Yang would dare to talk back at this time.

"Long live, the minister is from a Jinshi!"

Looking at Zhang Yang with a righteous face, Li Yunze was a little stunned, "What? ”

Zhang Yang said indignantly, "The minister is from a Jinshi, but he has to do some lowly things all day long to usher in and send to, and keep accounts and count." Surrender or disobedience! ”

Now Li Yunze finally understood, and the way he looked at Zhang Yang was completely looking at a sand sculpture.

"Whew~~~"

Li Yunze raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Tell me directly, are you greedy for ink?" To tell the truth, there are brocade guards outside, and I advise you to rat tail juice. ”

"Over the years, the ministers have encroached on more than 47,000 taels in total."

Zhang Yang is really good, he actually said such things without guilt in front of the emperor.

"It is not easy to live in Yangzhou. A casual banquet here will cost hundreds of taels of silver. If the minister does not invade the class, there is no way to maintain decency. The imperial court gave too little money. ”

Looking at Li Yunze, who was silent for a moment with a natural face of publicity, he casually said perfunctorily, "For the sake of your honesty, I will leave you a whole corpse." ”

His eyes motioned to Luo Yangxing, who was standing aside, "Hang him on the flagpole!" ”

When Xu Hongji and the others hurried over, they looked up and saw the Salt Patrol Imperial History hanging on the flagpole.

The faces of the crowd are called wonderful.

This is the history of the salt patrol!

Don't look at it as just a seven-grade official, but the salt affairs of the two Huai are under his control, and he is absolutely inferior and powerful.

But how long has it been since people hung the flagpole?

A row of brightly armored soldiers stopped the crowd, "Do not trespass without a will!" ”

Lingbi Hou Tang Guozuo stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Bold! We are the nobles of the court! ”

In response, there was a series of knife draws.

Tang Guozuo, who was accustomed to being a powerful man in the south of the Yangtze River, trembled with anger, "It's the opposite, you want to rebel!" ”

"Who wants to rebel?"

Li Yunze, who was holding a horsewhip, strode out, his eyes swept over everyone in front of him, and finally landed on Tang Guozuo, who was standing at the front.

"Which one is you?"

"Hooray." Tang Guozuo hurriedly saluted: "The minister is Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo." ”

"Oh." Li Yunze nodded: "I have heard of you." ”

Tang Guozuo was overjoyed, the new emperor actually knew that he was about to soar?

The smile on his face hadn't fully bloomed yet, and Li Yunze followed up with a sentence, "In Wei Wei's list." ”

Tang Guozuo'(°ー°〃)'

"You paid Wei Zhongxian to repair the ancestral hall, right, and you also got the crown prince and the crown prince because of this?"

Tang Guozuo, who was sweating profusely, trembled, "Minister, minister..."

After a minister, I didn't know what to say for a long time.

He did this, and he couldn't quibble in front of the emperor.

"I am traveling south this time to clean up the remnants of Wei's rebellion." Li Yunze's eyes playfully said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence, I met you here." ”

Wei Rebellion is a basket, anyone can put it in.

Even if the nine thousand years old died, he was still taken out by Li Yunze over and over again.

No way, it's so easy to use.

Hearing that Li Yunze's tone was wrong, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Long live, the minister dares to guarantee..."

'Smack! ’

A loud horsewhip interrupted Xu Hongji's words.

Li Yunze's gaze turned to him, "I allowed you to speak?" Or do you look down on me? ”

Xu Hongji smiled helplessly, he already understood that the emperor was going to use them as a raft to establish his authority.

But there was no way, he could only kneel down and salute, "Minister, don't dare." Minister, guilty. ”

The nobles seem to be powerful, but in essence, they are all dependent on the emperor like the eunuchs.

The emperor wants to repair you, even remove you.

What can you do? Rebellion?

Others don't know, but Xu Hongji is very clear.

The three battalions of the Longxiang Army and the 9,000 army were at the emperor's side at this time.

The other two battalions of 6,000 soldiers and horses were led by Cao Bianjiao, who had exterminated the King of Gannan Liukou, and was stationed outside Yingtianfu City at this time!

Your Majesty, guard against them in advance.

Ying Tianfu has a larger number of soldiers and horses, but the combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning.

Back then, dozens of would-be robbers were able to kill all the way to Yingtianfu City, which was simply a loss of face.

The Long Xiang army around Li Yunze is all real and has no empty salary, and the salary is high and the training is strict, and the combat effectiveness is far from what the Jiangnan waste material Ming army can deal with.

Not to mention that these nobles in Ying Tianfu don't have the courage to rebel, even if they have the guts, they can't do it.

Seeing that Xu Hongji was soft, Li Yunze's gaze turned to Tang Guozuo again.

"Tang and the heroes of the world, how can there be such a waste descendant as you. Since you like to befriend Wei Zhongxian so much, then go to Wei Zhongxian's hometown to guard his tomb. As for the title of Marquis of Lingbi, for the sake of Tang He's face, he will be able to inherit it among the virtuous people in the family. ”

Tang Guozuo collapsed directly to the ground.

His mind was in turmoil.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

When I finally came back to my senses, I realized that my title was gone!

But what can be done?

Do you want to jump up on the spot and punch the emperor with a full punch?

No kidding, even if you are not afraid of being cut by a thousand knives, you are afraid that the title passed down from your ancestors will be removed. I am afraid that the plaques of the ancestors of the past generations will be smashed into pieces by the brocade guards. When they were afraid of going to the execution ground, the nine clans were all around them and gritted their teeth and sang 'Thank you!' Because of you, the nine clans are buried together! ’

In the end, Tang Guozuo, who had aged a lot in an instant, trembled and made a big salute.

"Minister, thank you."

Li Yunze turned around and went back to the Yanzheng Yamen, and everyone outside watched silently, watching the rickety Tang Guozuo leave step by step.

At this moment, the people who have been rampant in Jiangnan all the year round finally felt what it means to be afraid!

This is the emperor, one word can determine life and death, and one word can determine rise and fall!

After the crowd dispersed, many big salt merchants in Yangzhou City gathered together and negotiated nervously.

"What should I do now, the emperor has made it clear that he is here for the salt business!"

"The relationship between the DPRK and China, the relationship between the nobles, and the relationship between the relatives of the emperor and the country. After spending so much money on weekdays, it's time to contribute! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, where is there a big man in the court who can speak in front of the emperor now."

"You've all seen it before. A marquis, the emperor was crushed to death with a word. ”

"The royal relatives may be of some use, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near."

"Why don't we go on strike?"

The heated quarrel suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on the salt merchant who proposed to strike the market.

The man waved his hand repeatedly, "That's what I said." ”

"That's a good idea." The person who spoke was Jiang Chun, the real boss of the entire Lianghuai salt industry.

Whether it is official salt or private salt, Jiang Chun is the one who does the biggest.

Pick up the tea bowl and gently rub the tea leaves with the lid. Jiang Chun said slowly, "But not now. ”

"This is a lose-lose trick, even if the emperor is forced to back down temporarily, but it is also to offend the emperor to death. Do you want to have a good one in the future? ”

Jiang Chun's eyes were sharp, "This emperor is different from the previous ones. ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Yanzheng Yamen, "He came to Yangzhou on a horse and with an army!" ”

Jiang Chun accentuated his tone.

"This is an immediate emperor!"

The emperor immediately is completely different from the emperor who stays in the Forbidden City all day.

And Li Yunze is still so young, if he really offends to death, he will definitely not end well.

Xungui can easily be crushed to death, let alone a group of salt merchants.

Many salt merchants said in unison, "Please also ask Jiang Ye to have an idea." ”

"First of all, the big guy is going to be ready to bleed." Jiang Chun drank the tea slowly, "When the emperor wants to talk about salt affairs, we will give as much as he wants." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly exploded.

The agitated salt merchants gossiped and quarreled fiercely.

It wasn't until Jiang Chun put the tea bowl on the table that the salt merchants gradually quieted down.

"What time do you think it is?"

Jiang Chun's face was a little hideous, "The emperor's knife is already on our necks!" At this time, you are still thinking about good things, is it really a good person to talk to be an emperor? ”

"Do you know how many people the emperor killed along the way south? The banknotes on the Grand Canal have all been wiped out! ”

"Jiang Xingtou." A salt merchant said, "We all know what you said, but we can't give as much as the emperor wants." Let's not talk about whether you can take it out, even if you can take it out, what will you do every year after then? ”

Jiang Chun sneered, "The emperor has entered Yangzhou City with a knife, and you are still pretending to be stupid." ”

"According to the regulations on salt affairs, you can pay as much as you want. If it's too much, then cry poor. In short, it is necessary to try to send the emperor away first. Da Ming is so big, he can't keep staring at our Yangzhou, right? ”

"As long as the emperor is gone, if he pays money or something in the future, there will naturally be room for negotiation. We've got a solution! ”

"Of course, if the emperor really forces us to death, then the net will be broken and the market will be boycotted!"

Taking a breath, Jiang Chun picked up the tea bowl again.

"Besides, as long as you are a human being, you must have preferences, even if it is an emperor."

"The Emperor liked to be a carpenter. Now this Your Majesty, I see that he is young and strong, so let's first pick a group of beauties to give him. ”

A salt merchant retorted, "The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, can he still lack beauties?" ”

"Confused!"

"The beauties in the palace pay attention to a dignified and courteous manner, let's send the emperor a style that he has never seen."

Jiang Chun narrowed his eyes, "Young Mu Ai, of course you want to pick something different." In our Jiangnan, the most important thing is a different beauty. ”
