Merchants seem to have more mobility than officials.
Not long after Zhou Zheng left Jiujiang Pavilion, he was blocked by Yang Huzhi.
Yang Huzhi brought a group of people, more than a dozen people, and the momentum was very majestic.
Zhou Zheng looked at him with cold eyes, and said, "Are you trying to kill me in the street?"
Yang Huzhi glanced at the person next to him, with no expression on his face, and said, "Someone wants to move me and protect me."
Zhou Zheng said, his eyes looked at Yang Sishao next to him, with a smile on his face.
Yang Sishao looked awkward, embarrassed and fearful.
Yang Huzhi's eyes were gloomy, and a zombie face had no other expression except for the occasional harsh look.
"Let's talk." Yang Hu said.
Zhou Zheng hummed and said, "I have been waiting for you."
Yang Huzhi looked at Zhou Zheng and glanced at the tea house on the left hand side.
Zhou Zheng glanced at it and walked straight up.
Yang Huzhi looked at Yang Sishao and said, "Except for you, everyone else is waiting outside."
These people were all brought by Young Master Yang, and his mind is hard to guess now.
Yang Sishao's lips moved, and he nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhou Zheng and Yang Huzhi went upstairs and sat down by the window on the second floor.
Standing behind Zhou Zheng, Liu Liuzhe, and Yang Huzhi standing behind Yang Sishao, the two sides confronted each other, and the negotiation was obvious.
Yang Huzhi stretched out his hand to pour tea for Zhou Zheng, and said in an unhurried tone: "I know everything about the capital. Yang Si does not represent the Yang family. He does what he does."
This means that the same as last time, Yang Sishao was handed over to Zhou Zheng as a bargaining chip between the two parties.
Yang Sishao knew the result for a long time, his mouth twitched, his expression stiff, and he dared not say a word of rebuttal.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Yang Sishao, and said: "You salt merchants attacked me twice and again, and there is no sign of stopping. Do you think I am particularly good at talking?"
Yang Huzhi poured tea for him. He didn't have any unnecessary reaction because of Zhou Zheng's questioning. He said, "The one million taels you asked for, we can't get it. There is not so much cash. I will give you a thousand mu of fertile land. For a tea shop, I will give you another 500,000 stones of private salt. I will buy 200,000 taels of your Zhou Ji's goods, and then 200,000 taels every year."
Liu Liuzhe listened and calculated silently in his heart that this was about one million two or so, and he was a little surprised. These people are really rich, worth one million things, they come casually, and they don’t blink when they are sent out. How rich are they
Even if Yang Sishao listened behind, his expression changed slightly.
These are all the wealth that the Yang family has finally accumulated. Yang Huzhi is true. Did they give it away like this
Zhengyun this week, is it really worth the price they paid
Zhou Zheng's next words surprised Yang Sishao even more!
"Not enough." Zhou Zheng said lightly: "Before it was one million, now, one million can't solve this matter."
One million is not enough!
Yang Sishao looked at Zhou Zheng's expression, with a look of horror, as if he knew this person for the first time, one million, it was already a lion who had opened his mouth.
Yang Huzhi was calm as usual, drank a sip of tea, then shook his head, poured it away, and looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You are on the cusp of the storm now. I don’t know how many people want to deal with you. Little, and ours has no scruples and can shoot you at any time."
Yang Huzhi’s words actually meant that the castration party had scruples and always endured it. Now he has joined Cui Chengxiu. The castration party and even Wei Zhongxian have reasons and excuses to attack Zhou Zheng. As long as they are high-sounding, it is difficult for outsiders to say anything, including The new emperor.
However, Zhou Zhengcan fell to Cui Chengxiu, causing an uproar and shaking the ruling and opposition parties. I don't know how many eyes were staring at him. Zhou Zheng couldn't use some special relationships, such as the internal prison in the palace.
One trades and the other grows, and now it should be the salt merchants who have the advantage!
Listening to Yang Hu’s words, Zhou Zheng laughed in his heart, and directly offered the price: "I want you to have 50 shops in Suzhou, 3,000 acres of fertile land, five tea mountains, and 20 tea houses. Every year, I will buy 500,000 taels of Zhou Ji Goods, all your properties in the capital must be given to me. Also, I want to cash one million taels of silver, and I will receive it by October..."
Yang Sishao heard his eyes wide open, and his breathing was a little short.
These values are far more than two million taels!
This is a number beyond his reach, and the Yang family can figure it out, but it will definitely hurt your muscles and bones!
This week, I dare to speak loudly!
Liu Liuzhe was also stunned, with his mouth open.
With so many industries, their Zhou family won't be able to make a profit in ten lifetimes!
Yang Huzhi was indifferent to Zhou Zheng’s offer. He sat in a chair, habitually turned sideways, tilted his head, and said, "Your confidence is that the salt class lifts the company? Even if our Yang family is removed, it will not affect us. We cannot be threatened by operating the salt industry."
Daming's salt law has been changed many times, the most recent being in the 30th year of Wanli, which is the so-called'gang law'.
However, the salt administration had long collapsed, and the Ming court’s control over the localities was quite weak. In addition, the government was corrupted. Even if the Yang family was removed from the Gangben, they could still manage the salt industry. The imperial court was unable to take charge of the local government. The infiltration is completely clean, let alone care, and even more shelter.
Therefore, the Department of Salt Class Promotion is only legally governed, and even if the Yang family is really removed, the actual influence is quite limited.
Zhou Zheng naturally knew that there was no unnecessary nonsense, and said: "The last time Yang Si played tricks, I increased the price. If you don't agree this time, you will not increase the price next time."
Yang Huzhi's eyes were gloomy, without any fluctuations, and said lightly: "What do you have to do?"
Zhou Zheng secretly said in his heart that it is a means to destroy your Yang family!
For a moment, Zhou Zheng stood up straight and said: "Since we can't agree, then forget it, you can take this Yang Si back, take care of you, and you will be fat and white."
After speaking, he lifted his leg and left.
Yang Huzhi sat still and let Zhou Zheng leave.
As soon as Zhou Zheng walked to the top of the stairs, he saw the people from Yang Huzhi rushing up and blocking him.
Zhou Zheng looked still, and said, "There were more than a dozen desperadoes who wanted to kill me last night. You people are not enough to look at."
Yang Huzhi turned his head and looked at Yang Sishao.
Yang Sishao gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle San, you can't let him go..."
"Let him go." Yang Huzhi said blankly.
Yang Sishao struggled on his face, and finally waved his hand, and the person at the top of the stairs slowly moved away.
Zhou Zheng left directly, without bargaining at all, he wanted to leave and stay.
When Yang Hu saw that Zhou Zheng had really left, he stood up and looked at the stairs.
Yang Sishao really wanted to take the risk just now. He took Zhou Zheng away, and he was completely overwhelmed. Now looking at Yang Huzhi, he said unwillingly: "Uncle San, this week is making it clear that we are going to take us away. We can't let him be arrogant. Now His situation is to kill him, only some people will be happy, no one will make trouble..."
Yang Huzhi knew that Young Master Yang was disguising his timidity, and his expression remained unmoved. He said, "I gave more than one million taels before. He didn't care at all. After the price was offered, there was no bargaining. You said, why is this?" (End of this chapter)
