Chapter 320

Chen Qingshui didn't believe Zhang Hao's words, but he didn't dare not listen. Zhang Hao was a celebrity around Jiajing, and he was also the commander of Jin Yiwei. If he didn't obey his orders and offended him, Zhang Hao didn't know how to take revenge on him. Besides, Zhang Hao's father is the Duke of England, who is the commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Yes, please rest assured, my lord. Since your lord said so, I will definitely listen to you. I will go to inspect the military affairs tomorrow and tell the people below that the army cannot move without orders!" Chen Qingshui immediately cupped his hands at Zhang Hao and said. method, must compromise,

And he thought, probably nothing happened. After all, Zhang Hao couldn't have rebelled. Since he didn't rebel, and he said it in front of many people, he wouldn't be afraid.

"Well, another thing is you two!" Zhang Hao looked at the chief envoy and the inspector envoy as he spoke, and they both stood up immediately and cupped their hands.

"Sit down, you two are the chief officials of Shanxi. This time I came to Shanxi because His Majesty was dissatisfied with the situation in Shanxi. Moreover, you also wrote a memorial to report the current situation of Shanxi to the emperor, so The emperor sent me here, so I came here to arrest people, no matter who I arrest, you'd better not ask questions, and don't come to intercede, with me, there is no mercy at all!" Zhang Hao said to the two of them. Said.

"Yes, my lord, don't worry, we will cooperate!" Yu Dafang clasped his hands again and said.

"My lord, if you want to arrest people, are you in the name of rectifying the salt affairs or in the name of being the commander?" Shi Li, the inspector, asked Zhang Hao, clasping his hands.

"Well, then what identity do you hope I have to arrest people?" Zhang Hao looked at Shi Li and asked.

"Returning to my lord, no matter what identity I use, I need to know. After all, this is Shanxi. If an official is arrested and I, the procurator for punishment, don't know, then it is dereliction of duty. If your lord arrests people as the commander of Jinyiwei, then I can't ask, but I still need to know the general situation.

If I am arresting people with the job of rectifying the salt affairs, then I need to know everything, including that I need to report to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs so that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs can prepare for the investigation! Shi Li cupped his hands to Zhang Hao and said,

When Zhang Hao heard this, he nodded. Zhang Hao had read Shi Li’s file. He was a clean official. This time, he might be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment to serve as a servant, and then he would be transferred to Shangshu, or directly served as the capital censor. His file , Zhang Hao can remember it very clearly.

"Well, then arrest people with the job of rectifying the salt affairs? If Jin Yiwei arrests people, I will notify you in advance!" Zhang Hao thought about it, and said with a smile to Shi Li.

Shi Li was stunned for a moment, saying that Zhang Hao was very unreasonable and a barbarian, but this time, he didn't arrest people in the name of Jin Yiwei, but he needed to let himself know and report to the Ministry of Punishment .

"Yes, my lord, don't worry my lord, no matter who you want to catch, we won't stop it, if you make a mistake, then I will definitely tell you!" Shi Li looked at Zhang Hao and cupped his hands again and said.

"Well, okay, sit down and talk!" Zhang Hao nodded and said to Shi Li, who also sat down.

"As for you, Yu Dafang, just stay in a good place. I heard that some places in Shanxi are short of salt?" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang and asked.

"Yes, there is such a situation, it is a very situation, those salt merchants said that this year's salt is tight, and the output of those salt households is low, so the price of salt is rising, but we have also released part of the official salt, and it can be stabilized. I just want to report this matter to the emperor, I heard that this happened in other places, if this is the case, then we need to prepare in advance, if there is not enough salt, it will be a big deal!" Yu Da Fang immediately cupped his hands to Zhang Hao and said,

He is still thinking about how Zhang Hao will rectify it. It is precisely because of the news that Zhang Hao is going to rectify the salt affairs that the salt shortage started. Therefore, Yu Dafang wants to inquire now, but he dare not ask.

"It's okay, it's fine if I can hold on for half a month, I don't have that much time to spend with them!" Zhang Hao said with a smile and waved his hands, and then confessed to Yu Dafang: "You call those salt merchants tomorrow, and the queue will be full." I will give you the list of the number ones, and when the time comes, you send someone to invite them here, and I want to talk to them!"

"Yes, my lord, but, my lord, behind these salt merchants is not simple, and even, people in the palace are involved!" Yu Dafang thought for a while, reminding Zhang Hao.

"No matter who it is, as long as the emperor is not involved, if the emperor has someone to take care of here, he will tell me!" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang with a smile and said,
Yu Dafang nodded quickly, expressing his understanding, then Zhang Hao continued to invite them to eat,

After eating, Zhang Hao and the others moved to the living room and sat down. Zhang Hao listened to Yu Dafang's introduction on the situation of Shanxi Yantie. There are many wealthy businessmen in Shanxi, most of whom are related to Yantie. And those businessmen, many of them They all have backgrounds in the government, even in the palace, so it is not so easy to rectify,
Zhang Hao just listened and didn't say too much,

After a while, Zhang Hao followed Yu Dafang to his residence. It was a mansion in the Shanxi government that was specially used to entertain ministers. The Jin Yiwei had already entered, and the imperial guards had also sent people in to serve as guards. Zhang Hao and Yu Da Fang chatted for a while, then let him go back.

"My lord, everyone has dispersed and is collecting information. This morning, King Jin's younger brother Zhu Xinlong called those salt merchants for a meeting. Find out the specifics!" Shen Lian saw Zhang Hao alone, and immediately came to report.

"Can't find out?" Zhang Hao looked at Shen Lian and asked.

"It still takes time. They held a meeting on the small island of Zhu Xinlong's mansion. There were no servants, and the salt merchants did not dare to leak it. They could only collect the leaked information first, and then summarize and analyze a general idea. !" Shen Lian cupped his hands to Zhang Hao and said.

"Do you know the list of participants?" Zhang Hao asked.

"I know, this is the list!" Shen Lian gave the list to Zhang Hao, who took it over and looked at it carefully.Basically a big salt merchant in Shanxi.

"Well. These are the only people. This time, let's take them and keep an eye on them!" Zhang Hao said to Shen Lian.

"Yes, my lord!" Shen Lian cupped his hands and said, but he didn't know in his heart how far Zhang Hao wanted to investigate and rectify. If he just cleaned them up, there would still be new salt merchants popping up in the future. Continuing to do it would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but he didn't dare to ask!

And at Zhu Xinlong's mansion, Zhu Xinlong was very worried, what does Zhang Hao mean by bringing so many troops?What is the emperor worried about?Worried about the rebellion of the people of the King Jin family, if this is the case, then the people of the King Jin family are indeed in trouble, and the people of the King Jin family have never thought about such a thing.

"When will the eldest brother come back?" Zhu Xinlong said anxiously, since the eldest brother is not here, there are many things that he cannot make decisions by himself.
He still hopes that Zhu Xinfan can come back, but now Zhu Xinfan can't come back in the capital, and he has nothing to do. If Zhang Hao really cleans up those salt merchants when he comes this time, it will be a big loss for the Jinwang family. But it's too big, and it can't be measured in millions of taels.

Early the next morning, after Zhang Hao got up, he practiced martial arts for a while, and then had breakfast, but the chief envoy Yu Dafang had already sent someone out to invite those people to the yamen to discuss matters. start when
After the salt merchants received the invitation, they were all in a hurry, and some of them had already gone to Zhu Xinlong's residence,

But at this moment, just after Zhang Hao had finished his breakfast, someone came to inform him, "My lord, the outsider claims to be the shopkeeper of your family in Shanxi, and his name is Yang Caihuan!"

"Yang Caihuan, I've heard of it, what's the matter?" Zhang Hao heard this name, he had indeed heard of it, but he couldn't remember it, so he asked his servants.

"My lord, he didn't say anything, he just said he came to see you!" the Jin Yiwei said to Zhang Hao again, clasping his hands.

"Then let him come in!" Zhang Hao thought about it, and since there was nothing else to do, let him come in and talk!Soon, Yang Caihuan came in. Zhang Hao saw that he really knew each other. He was a servant of the family, and seemed to be somewhat related.

"I've seen the Second Young Master!" Yang Caihuan came to the living room, knelt down and saluted Zhang Hao.

"Well, you are Yang Caihuan. I did meet you at home. What are you doing here in Shanxi?" Zhang Hao looked at Yang Caihuan and asked in confusion.

"Back to the second young master, I am the shopkeeper in charge of Shanxi's affairs, and the family also has business in Taiyuan. I am in charge of the business here!" Yang Caihuan immediately explained to Zhang Hao.

"Oh, okay, I see, work hard!" Zhang Hao nodded and said, he doesn't care about the family affairs, it's his mother who manages them.

"Yes, Second Young Master, Second Young Master, do you have any orders when you come this time?" Yang Caihuan looked at Zhang Hao and asked in a low voice.

"Get up and talk first. I don't have any orders. I'm on an errand. As for you, just continue to take care of the affairs here. I don't care about the family affairs!" Zhang Hao said to Yang Caihuan, waving his hands.

"Thank you, Second Young Master!" Yang Caihuan stood up, and then he didn't know how to talk to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao obviously didn't want to talk to himself.

"Anything else?" Seeing him standing there, Zhang Hao asked without speaking or leaving.

"Second Young Master, I heard that you came here to rectify the salt affairs. I wonder if I need your help?" Yang Caihuan asked carefully again.

"No need!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said, this is a business trip, why do you find someone from your family?

"Second young master, the young one has been in Shanxi for many years and knows some things about Shanxi. The young one wants to stay with the second young master in case the second young master asks questions!" Yang Caihuan immediately recommended himself, hoping to let Zhang Hao see his loyalty so that stay by yourself.
