After Xu He waited for Zhang Hengyuan to leave, he went to Xu Song's secret cultivation place to inform him of the news.

However, after Zhang Hengyuan left Xu's house, he went out of the city to Baoba to check it out, and then he got on a boat and rushed back to Yangzhou.

That night, it was still the previous painting boat, and You Xiaozheng was enjoying the costumes of several famous prostitutes in Yangzhou.

One carefully placed the candied fruit in his mouth, while the other two knelt on the ground and gently knocked his legs.

You Xiao felt that he had really seen the world this time when he went south, and he had to be careful every day in the palace before, for fear of offending any nobleman and a few Da Jue above.

But out of the Forbidden City, he was like a bird that had been freed, and he felt fresh everywhere.

Especially these salt merchants in Yangzhou are really good at things.

Eunuchs can't do it?

It doesn't matter, it's better to find a few women with good looks to serve You Xiao comfortably, especially when he sleeps with a few women in his arms every night, even if he can't do anything, but that kind of psychological satisfaction still makes him feel that everything is worth it.

"If you do a good job and do a good job of the things that Your Majesty and your ancestors have explained, you can be named as the tax envoy of the Lianghuai salt industry in the future, and when the time comes, you can enjoy this kind of enjoyment several times a year!" You Xiao hummed a little song and closed his eyes comfortably.

At this moment, Ma Shun, the godson he brought this time, said softly: "Godfather, Zhang Hengyuan is here!" ”

Thinking about something, You Xiao shook his shoulders and sat up straight from the recliner: "Quick, please come in!" ”

After finishing speaking, he felt that he was a little anxious, and he didn't have the calmness of his ancestors, so he cleared his throat and said, "Let him wait first, and then let him come in later!" ”

After a while, You Xiao, who had tidied up his clothes, pinched the chests of the three women, causing the women to scream again and again, and Fang Caizhi proudly picked up the teacup and said, "Let him come in!" ”

When Zhang Hengyuan came in, the three women walked out with red faces, and saw You Xiao sitting under the middle hall drinking tea!

Zhang Hengyuan shook to the ground: "I've seen Mr. Tingyang!" ”

Mr. Tingyang is You Xiao's number, in the palace, you Xiao is also a hard reader in the inner study, and his knowledge is not worse than some scholars, of course, compared to those Jinshi and Hanlin, he is slightly weaker, but he does not have the life of a literati, but he is full of literati diseases. No, I also learned that people gave themselves a number, and naturally they didn't dare to say it in the palace, but when they arrived at the private residence, they would still be called "Mr. Tingyang" when they came to ask for advice.

You Xiao deliberately pinched himself not to be too anxious, and said lightly: "How are things going?" ”

Zhang Hengyuan was a little embarrassed, and only struggled after a long time: "I went to Hailing to find that Xu He, and I happened to meet the son of Dali Temple Qing Xie Daozhi at his house!" ”

You Xiao was overjoyed in his heart: "Is that Xie Liangcai you told me before?" ”

Zhang Hengyuan wiped his sweat and replied: "Exactly! ”

You Xiao said eagerly: "How is it?" If the two of them can help together, we will definitely be able to eat all the private salt in the salt field in Jiangbei! ”

Zhang Hengyuan was embarrassed: "Mr. Huiyu, then, that Xu He said that Xiao Shi Gong is recuperating from his illness and avoiding people, and he doesn't know where Xiao Shi Gong lives!" ”

You Xiao's face froze, and the joy just now faded instantly: "What about that Xie Liangcai?" What did he say? ”

"Xie Liangcai doesn't seem to be interested in this kind of thing!"

You Xiao heard this: "You didn't persuade you? ”

Zhang Hengyuan snorted: "The villain is familiar with that Xie Liangcai, and he also understands his personality, as long as he is unwilling, basically no one can persuade him!" Last time, the son of Shen Ge's hometown came to Yangzhou, and he also wanted to discuss this matter with him, and it is said that the two made an appointment several times, but they were all rejected by Xie Liangcai! ”

When You Xiao heard this kind of news, he immediately became angry: "As soon as you went, you met two people who had been discussed, such a good opportunity, but you came back and told me that nothing was done?" ”

Zhang Hengyuan opened his mouth to speak, but he still lowered his head and did not explain.

You Xiao was angry alone for a long time, only then did he realize that his tone was quite unkind just now, he looked at Zhang Hengyuan, barely suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "Hengyuan has run hard, it is the Sprinkle family who attaches too much importance to this matter, and his tone is eager, Hengyuan forgive me!" ”

He also has no choice, if he wants to complete the mission on his body, he must find the cooperation of the head snake, if his identity appears rashly, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the civil official group, and if too many people know about it, as soon as the bullet is on, then although he You Xiao is under the emperor's order, the situation will also be passive.

And Zhang Hengyuan's Zhang family is the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou City, both sides have common interests, it is obvious that it is better for the Zhang family to help run around this matter, annoying the Zhang family, he not only enjoys the fun of the man who hugs the left and right in Yangzhou, but also smashes the errand office!

Zhang Hengyuan smiled awkwardly, knowing that the other party would change his attitude only if he was begging him to do something, but he didn't ask for others.

He forcibly held back the unhappiness in his heart, and said respectfully: "What are these words, sir, to be able to do things for Mr., that is the blessing of our Zhang family, Zu Ying did not do things well, which disappointed Mr." ”

The atmosphere eased again, and You Xiao groaned: "Hengyuan, since the Xu family and the Xie family are unwilling to help, we might as well find other local clans to cooperate, the Sprinkle family still doesn't believe it, without him the Xu family and the Xie family, this matter can't be done?" ”

Zhang Hengyuan hesitated for a moment and explained: "Sir, we can really only find this Xu Xie family to cooperate, especially the Xu family!" If they don't nod their heads, this thing is very difficult to do! ”

"Oh?" You Xiao wondered, "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Hengyuan said: "The two generations of the Xu family are officials, and the reputation of the township is right, starting from the generation of Xu Song's father Xu Fan, Hailing to the east to the sea, there have always been poor households who have donated land!" ”

"Therefore, the Xu family has mastered a large area of land in Hailing, Rugao, Tongzhou and other places, many of these places are reed fields, and as far as I know, seventy percent of the reeds in the Huaibei salt field are supplied by the Xu family."

You Xiao frowned and said: "He has a lot of fields and a lot of land, but the imperial court salt field is always not his, right?" I collect private salt, what does it matter to the Xu family? ”

Zhang Hengyuan smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "The key is that Mr. wants to buy private salt from those wealthy stove households at a very low price, and those stove households should sell to private salt dealers instead of selling to their father-in-law, wouldn't that make more money?" ”

You Xiao suddenly realized at this time: "What you mean is that if you want to receive the cheapest private salt, you have to operate it through the influence of the Xu family, because the Xu family controls the source of reeds from those stove households. ”

Zhang Hengyuan nodded: "That's right, from the Changlu Salt Farm to the Lianghuai Salt Farm, we use reeds to dry salt, if the Xu family breaks the reeds one day, even if there are many people in the Lianghuai Salt Farm, they can't make salt!" ”

You Xiao secretly scolded the Xu family [big dog] in his heart, but said on his face: "Since Xu He can't deliver the words, then find someone who can deliver the words, or as long as you find out where Xu Song lives in seclusion, the Sprinkle family will come to meet him in person, I don't believe it, an official who is registered in the country, doesn't even obey the emperor's orders?" ”

Zhang Hengyuan thought for a while: "When I used to drink with Zhou Tianxiong, the former governor of Yangzhou, it seemed that there was also a Xu family who was compatible, I want to think about what the name of that person is......"

After a while, Zhang Hengyuan slapped his thigh: "I remember, that person's name is Xu Luan, and he is the second son of Xu Dai, the second master of the Xu family!" ”

You Xiao was overjoyed and said, "Then you hurry up and find him......"

Halfway through his words, he waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'll meet him in person!" ”
