With the experience of the Gu family and the feedback from the Kanto region now, Yingzheng is still very confident in the matter of salt and iron.

However, he didn't expect Ran Fang to think so far ahead about the matter of salt and iron.

When Ran Fang mentioned the matter of salt and iron, he only thought that he could increase taxes, but he did not think that it would cause rebellion among other merchants.

Having been in a high position for too long, he seems to have forgotten that some people can do anything for the sake of profit.

After thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng looked at the new eunuch beside him and said, "Wei Liang, Xuan Li Si, Wang Qian, and Zhang Han have entered the palace. ”

"Whoa."

Wei Liang had just been promoted to serve Yingzheng, and his every move was a little cautious, and he bowed respectfully before turning around and leaving Zhangtai Palace.

Standing not far from Zhangtai Palace, he said loudly: "Xuan Lisi, Wang Qian, and Zhang Han have entered the palace to meet you——"

This seems to show his majesty as a close confidant of His Majesty, and it is also to tell His Majesty that he has no personal relations with these people and will not have any private dealings with them in the future.

It's a pity that Ying Zheng doesn't care about these at all, he is still in the slightest salt and iron matter.

An hour later, Li Si, Wang Qian, and Zhang Han walked into Zhangtai Palace at the same time, and saluted Yingzheng together.

"See Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng said casually: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The three of them all thought that Zhao Gao's incident had just happened, and His Majesty announced them to the palace this time, it must be for Zhao Gao's affairs, and he wanted to take the opportunity to beat them.

In other words, Zhao Gao said something again, and His Majesty invited them to come over and discuss it together.

And among these three, the closest relationship with Zhao Gao is Prime Minister Li Si.

He also has a good relationship with the Tingwei Mansion, knowing that Zhao Gao should not have a chance to say anything, is there anything else he doesn't know?

But he didn't dare to ask, after all, after Zhao Gao was arrested, he could obviously feel that His Majesty's attitude towards him was also a little intriguing.

Ying Zheng glanced at a few of them, set his eyes on Zhang Han, and asked, "How is the matter of the salt and iron monopoly going?" ”

Hearing this question, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, explaining that it was not aimed at him.

Zhang Han took a step forward and respectfully saluted Yingzheng and said: "Your Majesty, with the help of the Gu family, the salt and iron in the eastern part of the Kanto region have basically been collected by Daqin. ”

"Just wait for Your Majesty's order, the decree on the monopoly of salt and iron can be spread throughout the country, and I believe that within three months, those merchants will receive the order, and then they will be able to send someone to take over."

Ying Zheng nodded, he had always believed in Daqin's speed.

As for Zhang Han's handling of rules, he never doubted it.

It's just that at this moment, his brows furrowed slightly, because seeing Zhang Han's words so relaxed showed that he didn't see what would happen after this salt and iron monopoly at all.

Fortunately, Ran Fang reminded him in advance, otherwise when these merchants and old nobles joined forces, he would still know nothing in Xianyang City.

"So ......"

"What problems do you encounter with this salt and iron monopoly?"

The current Yingzheng has realized the problems of the ministers of the DPRK and China, including Zhang Han and Meng Yi, they can only solve the problems, and the orders he gave can be solved perfectly.

But there is one of the biggest problems with this, that is, the problem will not be found, which is a big problem for the court officials.

Therefore, this time he is willing to start with Zhang Han so that they have the ability to think independently.

But he was disappointed, and Zhang Han was surprised by Yingzheng's question.

You must know that this salt and iron monopoly was mentioned by Ran Fang, and then His Majesty personally agreed, and now he wants to think about the issue of salt and iron monopoly, doesn't this mean that His Majesty does not mean it?

Zhang Han looked at Ying Zheng's frowning brows, and the sweat on his head flowed down involuntarily.

He stood there and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... I don't know what's wrong with this method. ”

"The Gu family is very concerned about the matter of refined salt, and they are also grateful to His Majesty, how can there be any problems?"

"There is a precedent set by the Gu family, presumably the merchants of those old places have nothing to say, and the minister thinks that this matter should be done as soon as possible."

Seeing him so proud and arrogant, Ying Zheng's expression was a little ugly.

This time, Ying Zheng did not continue to talk to him, but set his eyes on Li Si.

He still believed in Li Si very much, so he asked again: "What does the prime minister think?" ”

Li Si knows Yingzheng the best, and when he asks this, he knows that he is not satisfied with Zhang Han's answer, and the biggest possibility is what Ran Fang said.

Moreover, His Majesty also invited Wang Jian over, which shows that it may involve war.

After thinking for a moment, he respectfully saluted Yingzheng and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be cautious. ”

"The monopoly of salt and iron is very important, and it is not something that can be done overnight.

"If we directly discuss with businessmen from all over the world, it is inevitable that some people will have the intention of rebellion, how to deal with it at that time?"

From the beginning of the salt and iron monopoly, Li Si didn't agree with this matter, but this time his words were somewhat the same as what Ran Fang said.

Ying Zheng nodded approvingly, it had to be the prime minister who was in line with his heart.

However, he still didn't talk about the punctuality, and Ying Zheng said after a while: "The prime minister's words are reasonable, but they are just some businessmen, and it is difficult to achieve any big things." ”

"The widow is just worried, behind these merchants, can there be old nobles, if they take the opportunity to provoke a dispute against Daqin, how to deal with it?"

"But the monopoly of salt and iron is imperative, and if it can't be implemented in time, then the merchants in Kanto will definitely be indignant."

"How do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Li Si and the others looked at each other, and no one expected His Majesty to ask such a question.

In other words, none of them thought that there would be someone behind this businessman.

After all, behind the Gu family, there is only one unsuccessful Ran Fang and the current Majesty, which is a good thing for them.

But if there are people behind other businessmen, it is not a thing to be thankful.

Li Si looked at Yingzheng in the high position and found that there was not the slightest worry on his face, and he even felt a little relaxed.

He understood that there should be a solution now, and this time His Majesty announced them to talk about the final solution.

"The ministers are stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng was a little disappointed, but the matter still had to be resolved, so he said Ran Fang's words.

"Since the unification of Great Qin, there have always been some old nobles who have tried to subvert the government of Great Qin, and since they have been given a chance this time, it is natural to have a good test to see what bad intentions there are?"

"This time, we must find all these people, let them know the strength of Great Qin, and it can't be shaken by a few rabble!"

"Wang Jian and Zhang Han, the two of you must not give them a chance to breathe!"

"Send a message to Wang Ben, you must stick to Huiji County!"

It was still Ran Fang who said that the army of Chu was strong, and Yingzheng listened to it, as long as Wang Ben defended the old Chu land, he believed that the rest of the troops in the court would not be defeated by those people.

Seeing that Yingzheng had already decided, the three of them did not dare to raise any more objections.

The three of them said in unison: "Wow! ”

"I will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
