Zhu Bai began to think that it was the salt movement. But the salt movement operator did not know.

Yangzhou Mansion Yin will not be so stupid and let the Japanese invaders come in and kill their own people.

This person may be the one who set fire and put incense out of it.

But why did he help the Wakos?

He can help so many widows run a road, and his status must not be low.

It's not worth the risk for that little bit of money.

Who did he miss?

He has already checked all the people he came into contact with.

Wrong wrong.

That person might just be helping the Wako with the way.

There is no need for contact in the back.

Well, be sure to check it again.

-----

Two days later, Zhu Bai returned to the palace.

Lao Zhu took him to the study and talked to him alone for nearly half an hour.

This made everyone nervous, including Queen Ma, Liu Bowen, Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong.

In fact, Lao Zhu was listening to Zhu Bai talk about the detailed process of the transfer of salt envoys in the capital this time, so as not to miss Zhu Bai because of the length of the excerpt.

Zhu Bai talked about dry mouth, and old Zhu lowered his eyes and listened without saying a word.

Waiting for Zhu Bai to stop, Lao Zhu pulled his beard: "It's gone?" ”

Zhu Bai: "Aang." ”

No, I've worked hard to tell the story?

Lao Zhu said: "Wonderful. It's really clear, a pot of ends. It's a pity that there is no evidence left, and the light kills. ”

This is also true.

All the witnesses are dead, including Xiang'er.

Zhu Bai choked up, smacked his lips and diverted the topic: "Father, do you say that Xiang'er is the daughter of the earth security slave." ”

Old Zhu smiled gloomily: "He is still locked up in Yingtian Prison." We'll tell him tomorrow and see how it reacts. By the way, let's see if he's really obedient. ”

Zhu Bai said: "Now Yangzhou Salt Transport and Red Mansion need to be put in order. What does the father plan to do with it? ”

After returning to Yingtian, the principal and deputy transfer envoys of the Yangzhou Salt Envoy Division, were scolded by Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu said that they were blind and deaf, and they had been blinded by their subordinates for so long and didn't even notice it.

Then Lao Zhu directly demoted the principal and deputy transfer envoys to a remote small county in the southwest to be a county official.

From the third grade directly to the seventh grade, it is really a bit ruthless.

But it's good to be able to save your life.

After all, they couldn't prove that they weren't connected to the Wokos.

Therefore, the Yangzhou Salt Transit Department has now become a completely empty yamen.

Recently, it has been managed by the head of the Yangzhou Official Dental Bureau.

Although in fact it is already controlled by the official tooth bureau, Lao Zhu does not nod, it is not right.

This will take advantage of Zhu Biao's absence to talk about it.

Lao Zhu squinted at Zhu Bai: "It's okay with the Red Mansion, don't think about interfering in the matter of salt luck." ”

It was because the Huaiyan salt tax was very important to the Ming Dynasty, so the Huaiyan salt tax was less, so he asked Zhu Bai to investigate, how could it be managed by the Guanya Bureau.

Zhu Bai sighed lightly: "If my father appoints someone else, how can I be sure that it will be better than before?" ”

That's the problem.

But since I know that the current management is not good, it is obvious that I can no longer use it.

Otherwise, the current one thinks that Lao Zhu has no one else but to use him, and he will become more and more unscrupulous or a vegetarian meal.

Lao Zhu said: "What do you want?" ”

Zhu Bai said: "Either so, you draw a line for your sons according to the data of the past years, and stipulate how much tax the official tooth bureau will collect every year, and the amount and price of official salt." If it is not a special circumstance, such as natural and man-made disasters, the ministers will pay this amount to the state treasury in the future. If the retainers overcharge, even if it is the income of the official tooth bureau, it will be made up for by the official tooth bureau. The imperial court guaranteed harvest during drought and flood. The official tooth bureau can also be profitable. Everyone was happy. ”

Lao Zhu: "Let us think about it." ”

Zhu Bai continued: "The transportation network and post stations of the Guanya Bureau are all over the world, and it is actually the most convenient and safest for the Guanya Bureau to transport the official salt. If the father agrees to the conditions of the son, the son can still ensure the safety of the private business in the future. ”

Lao Zhu frowned: "Tell me, how do you want to guarantee it." ”

Zhu Bai said: "Private merchants with complete water itinerary maps and road guides are allowed to follow the convoy of the Guanya Bureau, and they can stay at the 'Lifting Inn' in the post station. ”

It is absolutely safe to follow the convoy of the official tooth bureau. At night, no one dared to loot at the "Lifting Inn".

Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and thought: Let's just say it. This bastard spent a lot of money to build the "Lifting Inn" just to make money once every three years, so he was waiting here?

Salt merchants are not just running all over the world, and there are many of them, and they are very rich......

As long as they eat, drink, and serve them well, they will definitely be willing to spend money to buy peace and convenience.

But if you don't give Zhu Bai this rebel, to whom?

Whoever is sent down will not be greedy, and will not unite with outsiders to deceive us.

Even if Zhu Bai was greedy, he was able to get things done in the end, and the money he earned finally returned to the court and armaments.

In fact, it is also a left hand to a right hand.

Lao Zhu said: "The Red Mansion can't be given to you, you are still young." Yanyun, let's think of an explanation for you, after all, these ministers have no way to pick thorns. ”

The key is not to let Zhu Biao feel guilty.

Zhu Bai came out of the imperial study, saw the second tiger standing by the door, stopped, and waved at the second tiger.

Erhu was so frightened that he hurriedly returned the salute: "Your Highness has tormented Weichen." Something is commanded. ”

The main thing is that this "little Hades" is not good.

Zhu Bai said: "My lord, I want to check the official transfer in Yangzhou City in the past month. The guards and the government offices must be checked. ”

Erhu knew that something big had happened in Yangzhou, and Zhu Baicha must have a reason for this, so he hurriedly said: "Obey the order, Weichen will tell His Highness immediately after checking it." ”

As soon as Zhu Bai left, Erhu reported the matter to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "He's playing a traitor." Because I wasn't completely sure, I didn't tell us. You go check it out. Check it out and tell us. ”

This transfer is very easy to investigate, the transfer of the guard office went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Military Department to investigate, and the government office went to the Ministry of Officials to investigate.

Finally, it was found that half a month ago, Lin Xian, the commander of Yangzhou Wei, was transferred to Mingzhou Wei as a commander.

Mingzhou was later Ningbo, just by the sea.

Zhu Bai heard what Erhu said, and secretly gritted his teeth: the traitor is him. No wonder the pirates were able to enter and leave the city gates at will. He is making a good hand of golden cicadas out of their shells.

Now I can't find a reason to do him.

Zhu Bai asked Zhang Yu: "What is the origin of this Lin Xian?" ”

Zhang Yu said: "I was Chen Youliang's subordinate before, and he was good at water warfare. For all these years, he has been serving as the commander of the coastal guard post. In the past, he exterminated the Japanese and made some contributions. ”

Zhu Bai: "What is his relationship with Hu Weiyong?" ”

Zhang Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "The lower officials don't know." ”

In today's situation, anyone is likely to give up their principles and join Hu Weiyong.

It is also possible that it is just to preserve strength, and to be false and wronged.

There is no investigation now, and he can't speculate.

Because that would probably kill a colleague.

Erhu also reported the news to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu sneered: "Okay." Let's talk about how Hu Weiyong got on the line with the Japanese Kou. It turned out to be through Lin Xian. ”

Erhu asked, "Do you want to transfer Lin Xian away?" ”
