Zhang Wen went to see the people in the household department, but he had a closed door, and the people said that Yang Luo was not there, and only accepted Zhang Wen's salt change strategy. Zhang Wen paced a few steps at the door, and he couldn't find Wang Huazhen like this, because the people of the Zhejiang Party still thought that Zhang Wen had turned his face with the people of Donglin, and went directly to Wang Huazhen, exposing his camp.

Once he knew that Zhang Wen was still breathing out of the same nostril as Donglin, maybe the chair he was lifting was not yet hot, and he would become the target of attack again.

Zhang Wenbai ran away, and returned to the Yamen of the Salt Class with some doubts, Chen Anshang walked into the signing room with a piece of paper, put it on the public case, and said: "My lord, the official newspaper of the middle and nano has been prepared. ”

"Oh." Zhang Wen opened the seal box and put his hand on the seal, he always felt that something was wrong, and retracted his hand again, "Don't worry, wait for the reply above, once the official report is made, the businessman who has a nest will definitely buy salt and wait for the price of salt to rise, so be cautious." ”

"Yes, that's what my lord said." Chen An realized that since there were people from above, the promotion department could not bear any responsibility by himself, so it was better to wait for the instructions from above. Chen Anshang also knew that it was almost impossible for this salt reform to succeed.

Zhang Wen always felt that something was wrong, maybe it was because he didn't see anyone when he went to Yang Luo, which made him have an intuition. Since Yang Luo is entrusted by the Zhejiang Party, it is office time at this time, where did he go?

At this time, in the division of the household, Yang Luo was lying in the wooden collapse of the back hall and groaned without a sound, only to see that he was a black-faced man with a beard, wearing a cyan official robe, and the household department was the fifth grade, only one level older than Zhang Wen, but he was a person from the center, representing the household department.

Yang Luo gritted his teeth, screaming and panting, his head was already full of needles, and a Lang Zhong was standing in front of the collapse, carefully touching the right sleeve with his left hand, holding a needle in his right hand and gently inserting it into Yang Luo's head, slowly pinching and rotating.

On the bench next to him sat a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body, with big ears and good facial features, it was Wang Huazhen, he looked at Yang Luo suspiciously, and said, "Lord Yang, are you better?" ”

Yang Luo stopped calling, closed his eyes and lay down, and did not answer. Wang Huazhen owed, glanced at Yang Luo's black face, the face was too dark, and he couldn't see his face at all, Wang Huazhen turned his head to look at Lang Zhong again, Lang Zhong said: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, Lord Yang has a sudden headache during the day, it is Naiyang, hyperactivity of liver yang, liver fire and liver wind, after the old man's acupuncture, he only needs to use medicine to recuperate, and he can be cured in half a month." ”

At this time, Yang Luo opened his eyes and struggled to sit up, Lang Zhong hurriedly helped the handle, and said, "Lord Yang should pay attention to rest, don't bother." ”

Yang Luo's head was full of needles, and his black head was like a hedgehog, he sighed and said: "I also want to worry, but now not only the ministry and Zhongcheng care about the affairs here, but the entire household department is pointing to us to do things well, can I worry?" ”

He said it to Wang Huazhen next to him, which means that the governor, governor, and household department are all members of our Zhejiang Party, so you should save your heart and kowtow and admit defeat.

Wang Huazhen's face changed: "It is impossible to change the Hongwu Law!" Don't say it's Lord Yang, even if the first assistant comes, there is no way! ”

Yang Luo looked at Lang Zhong and said, "Can the needle be taken?" Diverting the topic, he said in his heart: What else will you Wang Huazhen do except Niu Bang and talk big? actually moved the first assistant from Tetsuya out and humiliated it, and the first assistant provoked you by recruiting you? The Donglin Party is cheap.

"Sitting, sir, don't move." Lang Zhong heard that the tone of their conversation was not good, and he had already judged that most of this Lord Yang was pretending to be in pain, so he wanted to pull out the needle quickly, so as to leave the place as soon as possible.

Yang Luo looked at the door again and asked the soap at the door, "What did you come in to report just now?" ”

Soap Li bowed down and said: "Back to the adult, the salt class lifted the division to lift the master Zhang just asked to see the adult, and the little ones saw that the adult was unwell, so they found an excuse that the adult was not in the division." ”

"Oh, what's the matter with him?"

Soap Li walked up and presented the dossier in his hand to Yang Luo, "Lord Zhang is here to send Fang Luo." ”

At this time, Lang Zhong had already taken the needle, received the box, put the box in the medicine box, and arched his hand: "Say goodbye first." Yang Luo shouted to see off the guest, and then picked up the strategy on the case, Wang Huazhen stretched his neck to look, Yang Luo snapped and closed it again, "The official is still a little tired, take a rest first, this book, the official will read it for a while, and then discuss it with Lord Wang." ”

Wang Huazhen's expression was ugly, and she stood up, but Yang Luo was a Shangguan, and Wang Huazhen didn't dare to do anything, she clenched her fists with both hands, didn't even bend her waist, and said straightly: "The lower official still has official business to deal with, so I will leave." ”

Yang Luo sat still and didn't move, completely ignoring Wang Huazhen, and only shouted to the door: "Changshun, come in and press my temples." ”

After Wang Huazhen left, the person called Changshun walked in, stood respectfully behind Yang Luo, and massaged his temples and scalp with the thumbs of both hands. Changshun was dressed in gray cloth, his head was tied to form a bun on the top of his head, and his head was gray but he did not wear a hat.

After a while, Yang Luo stepped back left and right, pointed to the notebook on the case, and said, "Read." ”

"Yes." Chang picked up the notebook and read it in a low voice, then carefully put the notebook on the desk and stood aside. Yang Luo closed his eyes and thought about it, and said, "There is one less plan for this, you can talk about it." ”

Changshun glanced back at the door, and said in his heart that Yang Luo and his brother Yang Hao have a virtue, they have no sense of confidentiality at all, and they don't care where they are, they can say things if they want to.

But Changshun didn't dare to disobey the master's will, and lowered his voice as much as possible: "Yes." The villain thinks that there is one less additional salt citation. Once the official report of the salt reform continues, the merchants will definitely buy a large amount of salt within the time limit and hoard the salt odd goods to live in. Even if the salt division wants not to give a deadline, it can't be, because it also takes a buffer time to transport rice to the northeast. In this way, raising 500,000 taels of military spending in a short period of time is like taking something in the pocket, relieving the worries of the cabinet and the emperor. ”

Yang Luo opened his eyes and smiled, "You are getting better and better." Then he said coldly, "The people of the Donglin Party, colluding with Jiangnan businessmen to make profits, but they are often blackmailing the emperor, this time they jumped into the pit by themselves, no wonder others, hum, strange goods can live, I think it is opportunistic, who instructed these salt merchants?" ”

"The villain has a sentence that he doesn't know whether to say or not." Changshun said after seeing Yang Luo's approval, "If we ask Zhang Wen to add Yin Yanyin, will Zhang Wen see Miduan, or will he let the people of Donglin know?" ”

Yang Luo smiled: "What if you know?" This is a matter of the Ministry of Household Drafting Cabinet through the palace's approval, will they disobey the order? Besides, the Donglin Party in Zhejiang, who can get involved in this matter, is not a worry; A Zuo Guangdou, but he has already gone to the field to inspect the people's livelihood. Zhang asked? Didn't you see him pee his pants in fright at the noon gate last year? Donglin's people were even so angry that they wanted to assassinate him directly, didn't they quarrel about this in Jingshi last year? ”

"The owner is takami." Changshun lifted the pen, "The villain will approve this plan on behalf of the owner?" ”

"Slow!" Yang Luo opened his eyes, pondered for a moment and said, "The reason why the emperor will approve this matter is because he can take the silver back...... If the people of the Donglin Party scold at that time, won't the emperor also scold him? Your Majesty is right, then we are wrong, understand? So you can't give them a handle. ”

Changshun put down his pen and said: "Yes, there is an official document is evidence, so it can only be dictated." ”

Yang Luo nodded, and said: "I think you can do this matter, I don't worry about you doing things." ”

"Yes. Xie Dongjia carries love. "Long by the way. Yang Luo gave the letter of seal, Changshun was about to go out, Yang Luo stopped him again, and said: "Take the plan that Zhang Wen brought up, bring it to Wang Huazhen, and let him think about it for himself." ”

Changshun received his order and took a car to the Salt Section Lifting Division.

Zhang Wen heard the soap report, so he went from the signing room to the back hall to receive the visitor. Soap Li asked again: "My lord, is the door open to the front door?" ”

"It's not Yang Luo who came in person, what kind of instrument door did he open?"

Zhang Wen sat on the public seat in the middle of the back hall, Huang Renzhi and Chen Anshang stood on one side, and after a while, Changshun was taken to the hall by Soap Li. Changshun took out Yang Luo's seal letter and handed it to Soap Li, and Zhang Wen saw it without doubt.

Changshun took back the seal letter and walked over slowly, but saw Zhang Wen sitting there motionless, immediately frowned, and said, "In Xia Changshun, I have seen Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Wen nodded without a sigh, and did not return the courtesy, and said, "Let's make a long story short, I don't know what instructions Lord Yang has?" ”

Changshun is unhappy, and he doesn't even invite him to sit? He deliberately looked back under his buttocks, meaning why there was no seat?

Zhang Wen pretended not to understand.

Changshun glanced at Zhang Wen, smiled, and said: "Lord Zhang is really fast-talking, okay, I'll say it directly, Lord Yang has already read your plan, and it is quite thoughtful, especially the arrest of smuggled salt dealers and contacting the Yamen of the Nickel Division to prevent salt goods from other provinces, Lord Yang appreciates it very much." Just ......"

Chen Anshang listened intently, maybe in his eyes, the people from Beijing were superior.

Changshun glanced at Chen Anshang, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and continued: "It's just ...... One is missing. ”

Zhang Wen thought about it and felt that there was no omission, so he couldn't help asking, "Which one?" ”

"Add Salt Citation."

"Add Salt Citation?" Zhang Wen savored this sentence, and after a while, he said, "The salt quotation is printed according to the amount of salt mined or dried in the salt field, how can it be increased or decreased at will?" Salt merchants bought salt and couldn't mention salt, so what was the reputation of the government? ”

"Your Excellency, this is also false!" Chang Shun said, "The salt farm produces salt every month, and if you can't mention salt this month, you can mention it next month, why not?" ”

Zhang Wen was stunned, and said in his heart: Merchants buy a large amount of salt and hoard, and when the deadline for changing to "open medium and nano" arrives, there will be no place to buy salt, and businessmen will take the opportunity to raise prices to make huge profits. At that time, the salt could not be sold, but it still could not be sold, resulting in salt diversion and blockage; Merchants hoarded large quantities of salt, raising prices. I can't buy new salt, and the price will naturally rise, what can I do?
