Volume 1 Chapter 144 Zhang Hengyuan came to the door

Zhang Hengyuan's sigh was obviously from the heart, but Xu He knew that the relationship between them had not yet reached the place where they had come to visit, and the so-called Three Treasures Hall had nothing to do, and the other party could not have come for the [academic seminar] today.

"I don't know if Brother Zhang is ...... this time" and a few others sat down, Xu He asked.

Zhang Hengyuan pondered the wording, glanced at Xie Liangcai, the son of Siqing beside him, and said with a smile after a while: "Case Chief Xu, this time I am here to send you money for my brother!" ”

When he spoke, his eyebrows fluttered, and his expression was exaggerated, as if he would really take out a lot of silver and give it to Xu He in the next second.

Xu Hexin said, is this the sage's [clever words].

He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhang said that he was joking, how can he send silver to the door!" ”

Zhang Hengyuan snorted, then looked around and said in a low voice: "Don't lie for my brother, I really have a rich thing to give to my virtuous brother." ”

Seeing that Xu He and Xie Liangcai didn't speak after listening, Zhang Hengyuan was a little embarrassed, so he could only continue: "That's the case, a big man came from the north in the past two days, and he wanted to meet Xiao Shigong in private, but it was inappropriate to come to the door rashly, so the other party asked me to report to Brother Xu Xian and make an appointment to meet the two sides." ”

Speaking of this, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Brother Xu Xian, don't worry, although it is just a report, but for my brother I have a thank you gift, if you can help in front of Xiao Shigong again, I guarantee that my brother will have a great wealth for you!" ”

When Xu He and Xie Liangcai heard that [there was a big man from the north], they couldn't help but look at each other, and after exchanging glances, they each withdrew their gazes, still smiling silently.

Up to now, it has always been Zhang Hengyuan's often one-man show, and when he saw that Xu He and Xie Liangcai never expressed their position, he finally couldn't hold his breath.

"Brother Xu Xian, if you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Defu. I, Zhang Hengyuan, speak and do things in Yangzhou, and I have always been true to my word! ”

Xie Liangcai smiled at this time: "Xiaohe, this Brother Zhang Zuyin and Zhang, he has a great family in Yangzhou City, and since he has promised you benefits, he will not repay the debt." ”

After speaking, he looked at Xu He gloatingly.

Xu He ignored him, turned his head and asked Zhang Hengyuan: "May I ask Brother Zhang, who is this big man you are talking about?" Can you say that? ”

Zhang Hengyuan hesitated for a moment, and said as if he had made up his mind: "It's a eunuch in the palace, named You Xiao!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Xu Xie and the others worriedly.

A serious scholar is generally reluctant to have anything to do with eunuchs, and he is afraid that the other party will categorically refuse to cooperate after hearing about You Xiao's identity.

Who knew that Xu He and Xie Liangcai exchanged glances and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the close attendant of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Zhang Hengyuan couldn't see anything in Xu He's eyes, so he said happily: "This eunuch You is ordered to leave the palace to help His Majesty inspect the salt affairs of the two Huai, and he will ...... in the future."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty intends to return the salt tax to the inner treasury, and this eunuch You is the one who stands in the front, if I help him in this matter, he promises me to wait for more profits in the future salt introduction for those of us who have helped!" ”

"So as long as Brother Xu Xian helps me introduce Xiao Shi Gong and say two good words, I, Zhang Hengyuan, am willing to give you Brother Xu Xian a profit of 1,000 every year! And as long as my Zhang family is still doing salt, this promise will never change. ”

1,000 citations, one introduction of salt during the period from David to Zheng is equivalent to 200 catties, and a pound of salt is sold to Huguang and Jiangxi for about one and a half cents.

In other words, as long as Xu He moves his mouth, he will have an annual income of three hundred taels of silver, and this is still a long-term meal ticket.

Three hundred taels, three hundred taels a year, even if Xu He doesn't do anything, he can live very comfortably in this era.

What's more, the cooperation plan he set with Qian Yu before was to sell white sugar at the same time, find a way to get salt, use salt and sugar to open in exchange for food, and make a lot of money by reselling it.

However, not all money is available in this world.

The first and second assistants of the previous cabinet have arrived.

Uncle Xu Song has already avoided these people.

Nowadays, even the emperor is concerned about the salt tax.

But obviously, if it was just a salt tax, Eunuch You would not have asked a Zhishi official to help.

Before Zhang Hengyuan could say the specific requirements, Xu He guessed that our majesty not only wanted to collect the country's taxes into private accounts, but even like the first assistant, the second assistant, and their interest groups, he also targeted the opportunity to distribute indiscriminately after burning the roots, and maybe even the other party was still thinking about the matter of private salt.

Thinking of this, Xu He said with a smile: "A few days ago, I went to the uncle to say hello, at that time the uncle's condition was repeated, the doctor said, if you can't recuperate, the condition will become more and more serious, so after I left, I heard that the uncle went to recuperate, as for where to go, in case someone came to visit, the people at home did not tell!" ”

Wang Hengyuan was disappointed when he heard this: "This ......, did Xiao Shigong explain to Taiqiu Gong, where can I find him?" ”

Xu He shook his head: "I don't know about this matter!" ”

Wang Hengyuan said: "Then is it convenient to ask Brother Xu Xian to help me make an appointment with Taiqiu Gong?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Xie Liangcai on the side smiled: "Brother Wang may not know, in the Xu family, Xiaohe is quite valued by Xiaoshi Gong, but he is ...... with Taiqiu Gong."

The words were not finished, but Wang Hengyuan already knew the meaning of the words, in the big family, there are too many such things, and the people in the clan are very united outside, but the internal struggle is actually very fierce.

Seeing that this road was also blocked, Wang Hengyuan could only find another way, but today Xie Liangcai was also there, which was indeed an unexpected joy.

Although the Xie family is still a little shallow compared with the two generations of high-ranking officials of the Xu family, the Xie family's reputation in Nanzhili is also very great, especially when I heard that Yiling Xie and Rugao Xie are going to join forces recently, what is Rugao? It is also the place where the salt place is located, and if the Xie family is done, they can also use their influence to get some private salt.

"Brother Xie Xian, I don't know ...... you"

Who knew that before Wang Hengyuan finished speaking, Xie Liangcai gave up his hand and said apologetically: "Brother Hengyuan, you know me, don't look for me for these things, I have a headache when I hear these things!" But next time I'm going to drink with the Qingqi people, you must take me with you. ”

Wang Hengyuan slandered Xie Liangcai in his heart that he was really a hungry ghost, but he still smiled embarrassedly on his face: "The two of you must help think of a way, of course, you have to warm nephrite, hug left and right, I will definitely arrange it for my brother next time!" ”

After the three of them laughed, Wang Hengyuan said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left, Xie Liang said, "Hehe! I thought I was hiding from you, but I didn't expect you to be a good thing! ”

Xu He pointed to his nose and said helplessly: "Big brother, you can't say such things if you talk about decency!" ”

Xie Liangcai smiled and said shamelessly: "I live in my aunt's house, it's right, what's more, I have to help my aunt watch you, so that you don't have to vent your yuan yang at a young age, and you will regret it too late in the future!" ”

"Five uh-huh!" Xu He scolded.

"What do you mean?"

"Get out!"
