"... I don't believe you." Then where do you think Qingzhou got so much salt
"Forget it, don't think about it, let the county magistrates come to buy salt, and distribute it to them according to the previous amount. In the next season, people will go to Qingzhou one month in advance to inquire about the news. If it is the best, go to Jiangnan. It will be the time of summer harvest, and it will take a lot of energy, so there must be enough salt.”
"yes."
Jizhou and Xiangzhou going west from Qingzhou, and Zhengzhou and Huazhou going south all received the big gift cars sent by Bai Shan. After returning to Qingzhou with Yunzhou, because they didn't bring enough salt, Yanzhou divided the last three carts of salt, so when they arrived in Yunzhou, they went in empty.
The soldiers sent an official letter directly to the governor of Yunzhou, as well as a letter from Bai Shan.
The governor of Yunzhou was speechless for a while after reading it, "So I'm gone?"
The soldier comforted the governor of Yunzhou, "Yunzhou is not far from Qingzhou. If you need salt urgently, you might as well send someone to go back with me to get it."
The governor of Yunzhou thought about it for a while, but nodded in agreement, and then dispatched a team to Qingzhou to fetch salt with them. Well, they brought money and horses and horses.
After sending the person away, the master was a little worried, "Is there really so much salt in Qingzhou?"
"I'll know in ten days."
From Yunzhou to Qingzhou, it took six days to go back and forth. Four days was enough time for them to purchase salt. If they didn't come back after ten days, or if they didn't bring salt, they had to look elsewhere for salt.
"Over there in Jiangnan..."
"Hmph, let them continue to grind. By the way, let them live in the post station. Anyway, the board and lodging are all paid by the post station. If you want to increase the price, let alone the door, there are no windows." The governor of Yunzhou had a very ugly face. He sneered and said: "If they want to fight with the imperial court, they should fight. They just gamble with the lives of the people in the Central Plains and all the salt-deficient places. No wonder His Majesty can't tolerate them."
The aristocrats of the Central Plains and Guanlong are arrogant enough, right
They are more powerful, and they don't pay much attention to the royal family and the emperor, but who dares to gamble with the salt of the people in the world
It's no wonder that His Majesty took the knife against Jiangnan first, there is really no bottom line.
The governor of Yunzhou shook his sleeves angrily and turned back to the yamen, and then Yanmo began to write a note on the impeachment of the Jiangnan salt administration.
At this time, Yang Heshu was trying his best to control the production of salt by various households and government offices at all levels in the salt field. For this reason, he went to the salt field to inspect the salt field himself, and then saw the salt field that had been fried and emptied of wood.
The official who received Yang Heshu wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said, "Your Excellency also saw it. It's not because the lower officials are evading it. It's because the salt farm is old and firewood is hard to find, so the salt farm has to suspend salt cooking."
The official looked at the expressionless Yang Heshu, and said carefully: "I also ask the adults to write a few good words for me, even a clever woman can't cook without rice."
Yang Heshu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and stared at him quietly for a while, and when the sweat on the official's face became more and more profuse, he nodded slightly and said, "I know."
Yang Heshu turned around and left.
After riding the horse for a long distance, he slowed down the speed of the horse and walked slowly along the official road with the people. After a while, two horsemen chased up from behind, and he reined in the horse.
The two guards clasped their fists in salute on the horse, beat the horse forward, leaned close to Yang Heshu's ear and lowered their voices: "There is salt in the storeroom, and there is a lot of it, accounting for two-thirds of the storeroom."
Which means it's almost full.
Yang Heshu tightened his grip on the reins, and ordered in a low voice, "Let people keep an eye on the intersection. If they transfer the official salt, you must keep an eye on it. I want to see what they will do with the official salt in the future."
After returning, Yang Heshu sent an official letter to the salt farms in various places, asking them to state the current inventory of the salt farms, the number of workers in the salt farms, the daily consumption, etc...
After receiving the news, Gu Huai pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's wait and see what he wants to do."
Lu Binghua, who was making tea at the side, said indifferently: "What else can I do? I just want to force them to produce salt, but every salt factory has found a reason, from the officials to the long-term workers in charge. Even if Yang Heshu knew that there was a problem and there was no proof, he would do nothing to us."
Zhu Hongru, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head and smiled, "Brother Lu was too cruel to Mr. Yang. Speaking of which, our family still has some friendship."
The Yang family is a family from Guanlong. When they traveled south in clothes, one branch of the Yang family fell into their Wu County. Afterwards, the various families married. Some aunts and wives of the Lu family married into the Yang family, and some women from the Yang family married into the Lu family. Not to mention, one of Lu Binghua's aunts came from a side branch of the Yang family.
This is one of the reasons why Yang and Shu are both dangerous and safe here.
There are many people who want to kill him to prevent future troubles, but there are also many people who want to keep him because of family affection and other interests.
The emperor sent Yang Heshu over, but they really hit them seven inches in the head. Before they arrived, the voices of each family became confused.
Regarding the confrontation with the imperial court, there are Lu Binghua and the others who intend to fight to the end and want to firmly grasp Jiangnan; naturally there are also those who want to take a step back and live in harmony with the imperial court and the emperor.
Don't say that this is several families, it is one family, and even brothers and sisters from the same father and mother have different opinions.
Last year, the emperor took advantage of the prince's assassination and framed incident, but many people were arrested in the south of the Yangtze River. The Lu family, the Zhu family and the Gu family all suffered losses. Among them, Lu Binghua's own brother was arrested for allegedly rumoring the prince's rebellion and forging letters. , although the person did not die, he was sentenced and exiled to Liaodong.
In this life, unless the emperor pardons the world, he might not be able to come back.
For this reason, the Lu family had to separate a branch to go to Liaodong with his younger brother, and let him settle there.
Lu Binghua's face was very ugly, obviously angry.
Gu Huai then said: "Be careful. We have all seen Yang Heshu's ability. If he hadn't helped the crown prince last year and confused us, I wouldn't have suffered a disastrous defeat."
Zhu Hongru took a sip of the tea handed to him slowly, and said with a slight smile: "Yang Heshu is recognized as the number one person by the Guanlong Central Plains family, and if he fights with him, it's worth showing off if he wins a tie, so Brother Gu said nothing." Wrong, for him, we should be more careful."
Although Lu Binghua was not convinced in his heart, he didn't say it out of his mouth.
Gu Huai just assumed that he agreed, so he sent an order to delay the time.
But Yang Heshu is not without means. The officials of the saltworks complained to Gu Huai after less than two days of delay. If they were replaced, even the control of the saltworks would fall into the hands of Yang Heshu.
He is the inspector of Huainan Road and has the right to do so.
