Fusu was sitting on the seat.

His mind had completely calmed down.

It's just that I'm still puzzled.

He picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, held the tea bowl in the palm of his hand, and said: "What Mr. Ji said earlier gave me some clues, but it has not been completely sorted out for the time being, Mr. Ji, can you explain one or two more details." ”

Ji Heng put down the tea bowl, found a comfortable position, and lay down like this.

He spoke: "I have already talked about this shipwreck before, and it should be regarded as three incidents. ”

"And in your point of view, there are actually two things."

"If you look a little broader, this kind of thing is really about dealing with problems and solving problems."

"It's just that the ordinary are all in one place."

"The world can think so briefly, but the government can't be so general."

"A shipwreck is a shipwreck."

"Salt iron to salt iron."

"The two are really two different things."

"What I told you before is only for the case."

"The most important thing in the handling of cases is not to follow other people's ideas, but to take the initiative to jump out of the routine, look at these things with a bolder and broader vision, and then deal with the case and seek some clues that are ordinary and difficult to detect."

"You are the eldest son, and you have never served as a prison guard, so you are not familiar with this set."

"You can't be familiar with it, but Meng Yi, who is a court lieutenant, is not aware of this, which may be a problem."

Fusu's face was slightly different.

He understood the alto of Ji Heng's words.

Meng Yi because of his family background, from the beginning, he was the official of the first emperor, and then he was a little old enough, so he directly entered the Tingwei Mansion to serve, it is true that Meng Yi's talent is enough, but he lacks the relevant grassroots experience, and also lacks the corresponding functional literacy, so the chief officer leads the Tingwei Mansion, which will seem a little vain.

It's just that this situation is very common in the DPRK and China.

Ji Heng ignored Fusu's expression and continued: "The third case I mentioned earlier. ”

"It's actually the end."

"It's not difficult to deal with cases."

"The hard part is to find clues, and the hard part is to find evidence."

"Once a breakthrough is sought, it is easy to find other evidence, and then directly characterize this case."

"The key difficulty in dealing with it is in the merchants."

"When a businessman has been planning for a long time, it will not be easy to pry open the businessman's mouth, and the first thing is not to investigate, but to judge whether the businessman is guilty or not."

"I'll let you judge whether Shang Jia is guilty or not."

"That's it."

"Your answer is, 'There is guilt.'"

"If the merchant didn't participate, it would have been an accident."

"That's the end of the case."

"If the businessman is really involved, then it is necessary to further analyze and judge the businessman's behavior, and what the businessman wants."

"Money? Get you back? ”

"If so, what is it?"

"And how was the revenge planned?"

"In my personal opinion, the businessmen do have a desire for revenge, but such a grandiose revenge is not possible, there are so many participants, the businessmen are a group of fierce insiders, they will secretly watch out for other businessmen from time to time, and join forces to target the government, which is basically unrealistic."

"It's unlikely that anyone would be so bold."

"So the chances of making money are higher."

Fusu nodded.

He agreed.

The businessmen are greedy for money, but they dare not confront the government.

If it is really discovered by the government that it is intended to retaliate, it is not a question of money, but a question of whether or not you can survive.

Ji Heng took a sip of tea and continued: "Seeking money, what kind of wealth is being made, and how to design it, this is all you have to consider, only by thinking comprehensively and comprehensively consolidating this matter can you have a clear understanding of this case." ”

"That's the only way."

"Only then can you not calculate for others."

Fusu took a deep breath.

He was impressed by Ji Heng's insight and calmness.

If it weren't for Ji Heng to completely sort out this matter, he probably wouldn't have thought of it so profound.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Salt and iron are good in themselves. ”

Come to think of this.

Fusu's eyes lit up, and said: "If this is the case, the merchant may have secretly transported these salt and iron away, and the sinking is only an empty ship, or only a small amount of salt and iron, if this is the case, the government should severely crack down on smuggling and selling, and strictly investigate along the road, or you can follow the vine to find all these salt and iron." ”

Fusu's expression was quite excited.

If these salt and iron can be found, wouldn't the salt and iron gap in Guanzhong be solved immediately?

Ji Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Smuggling and selling, it is indeed possible, but in my opinion, this possibility is not too great, what the government can predict, and the businessmen can also guess, this time the salt and iron can be quietly transported away, most of them are connected with local officials, and it is difficult to find out things." ”

"Even if the government has the intention to investigate, how long can it be strictly guarded?"

"Ten days, half a month, more?"

"Can the government afford to spend this energy, and can the people in Guanzhong afford it?"

"If I were a businessman, I would be very quiet during this time, and I wouldn't do anything, and when this limelight passes, whether I sell it privately in Guanzhong or transport it to Kanto for sale, it is very profitable, why take risks on the cusp of this kind of storm?"

Fusu looked dumbfounded.

He also knew he was whimsical.

Ji Heng said: "In addition to the profits of salt and iron itself, there is also the idea of persecuting the government, the heavy losses of the merchants, the new ships and their own losses, etc., are all a lot of expenses, they can completely coerce the government and give them tax reductions." ”

Fusu was thoughtful.

He gradually understood.

This is probably the real intention of the merchants.

The transportation of salt and iron was a large expense, and the government could not afford it, so the transportation cost could only be paid by the merchants themselves, but most of these merchants' ships were destroyed, and the construction of ships was also extremely time-consuming.

Fusu's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "I will never let these businessmen succeed." ”

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu, shook his head, and chuckled: "The will of the people is hard to disobey, if you don't target the businessmen and let the situation develop, you won't be able to back down when the time comes." ”

Fusu's face sank.

He looked at Ji Heng with a different color in his eyes.

"This is the idea given by Mr., to put on a posture to investigate, to make a look of not finding out something, vowing not to stop, this is actually taking advantage of the momentum of the government to put pressure on the businessmen, forcing these businessmen to retreat."

Ji Heng nodded with a smile and said, "This is the game of interests." ”

"Doing things step by step is not good for the imperial court, so you need to make the businessmen make mistakes in a panic."

"If you want businessmen to make mistakes, you can only put pressure step by step."

Fusu thought for a while and said curiously: "If this matter is handed over to Mr. to deal with, what will Mr. do?" ”

Ji Heng frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "This kind of thinking is meaningless, people can't stay calm at all times, after making a decision, timely correction is the key." ”

"Sir, do you think businessmen will be fooled?" Fusu asked.

He was still a little worried.

Ji Heng moved his body, let himself lie flat on the recliner, and said with a relaxed expression: "Yes." ”

"Why?" Fusu Road.

"Because they're businessmen." Ji Heng said calmly.

Fusu frowned.

He was a little incomprehensible.

Ji Heng didn't have the idea of saying much, he closed his eyes directly and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Fusu smiled bitterly and didn't ask any more.

Instead, he sat quietly indoors, quietly sipping tea.

It's just that the mind has flown outside.

Meanwhile.

Wei Sheng had already passed Fusu's order to the Shaofu of the Tingwei Mansion.

Hearing Wei Sheng's order, Meng Yi was immediately stunned, his eyes full of disbelief and puzzlement.

The eldest son had just given the order before, why did he change his mind temporarily in less than half an hour? And this idea is too absurd to change and completely ignore people's livelihood.

This is similar to the eldest son he knows.

The same is true for Duch.

The two of them went to Fusu together.

It's just that Wei Sheng didn't tell Fusu's whereabouts, but just told the two of them to carry it out, and said that the eldest son had his own arrangements.

Meng Yi and Du He glanced at each other, and there was a deep sadness in their eyes.

What Fusu did was just nonsense.

If this is spread, won't it make a lot of noise, and how will it end then?

Meng Yi's eyes were solemn, and he said excitedly: "Du Shaofu, what do you think of the eldest son's orders?" This move is simply ridiculous, if it spreads, won't it make the Qin people chill? I do not think this should be done in any way, and I suggest that I report it to Your Majesty immediately. ”

"Let Your Majesty decide."

Du He stroked his beard, his eyes were heavy, and he said suspiciously: "Meng Tingwei, don't you think that the temporary change of the eldest son's hexagram is a little abnormal?" ”

"The eldest son is kind-hearted, will he really care about the lives of the people?"

"Again."

"The eldest son changed his mind too quickly."

"The eunuch also said that this was solemnly ordered by the eldest son, which shows that the eldest son was not impulsive, but after a certain amount of thought, but what kind of thoughts the eldest son has, but we don't know."

Meng Yi frowned and said in a condensed voice: "No matter what the eldest son thinks, there will be a shortage of salt and iron in Guanzhong, but it is inevitable. ”

"How can we do nothing about it?"

Du He pondered for a while, still shook his head, and said: "I don't think this matter is that simple, the eldest son's move seems to be deliberately ignoring the people's livelihood, and he almost uses all his mind to pressure Shang Jia, the eldest son may want to seek flaws from Shang Jia." ”

"This time the shipwreck in Huaixian County, Shang Jia is very suspicious."

"The possibility of self-theft cannot be ruled out."

"If you can take the opportunity to ask some information, you may be able to 'recover' those sunken salt and iron."

Meng Yi's eyes moved slightly.

He said softly: "Du Shaofu thinks that the eldest son did it on purpose? ”

"Just want to put pressure on the merchants?"

Duch nodded.

He looked around and said in a low voice: "In the past six months, the eldest son has changed greatly, and he has become much calmer and calmer than the impulsive and arbitrary in the past. ”

"And sometimes inaction is just an act."

"I think you should obey the orders of the eldest son."

"Strictly investigate the merchants!"

"Maybe the eldest son will give us an unexpected result."

Meng Yi glanced at Du He a few times, and after pondering for a while, he had to nod.

"I hope so."
