Chapter 324

Shanxi chief envoy Yu Dafang asked Zhang Hao how he knew those people still had salt.After hearing this, Zhang Hao laughed, and then said: "I am the commander of the Jinyiwei, and there are things I want to know but don't know? I know everything about you!"

"Ah, oh, yes, I forgot that my lord is the commander of Jin Yiwei. If this is the case, then these people should be arrested, indeed!" Yu Dafang immediately said with a smile.

"Well, anyway, you don't want to come here to beg for mercy. It's useless to beg for mercy. You should just be your chief envoy. After all, you are also a high-ranking official in Xinjiang. Don't worry about those things!" Zhang Hao continued to say to Yu Dafang. After hearing this, Dafang nodded, and then chatted idlely,

Yu Dafang wanted to ask Zhang Hao several times about what to do next, but Zhang Hao just pretended to be confused and didn't say anything.

At this moment, in Taiyuan, the homes of those salt merchants were surrounded by Jin Yiwei, and their family members were all arrested. Those servants were dismissed on the spot, but no one knew what happened.
It's just that many Jinyiwei are now pulling their promises out of the warehouse. These salts need to be registered, and they also need to be stored in the government. Now that Hu Zongxian has not come yet, Zhang Hao told him to leave later, and it is estimated that he will arrive tomorrow afternoon.

When tomorrow afternoon arrives, the salt will be handed over to him, and he will distribute it, and he will also bring the department officials who manage the salt to this side. At that time, the salt and pig iron will become a separate department to manage the court. The matter of salt and iron tea,
In the future, the soap workshop will even be brought in. Zhang Hao intends to make this the department that manages the assets of the imperial court, and directly ask the emperor to be responsible, but the money is assigned to the household department, but it is not possible now, and it is not suitable now, Daming's moth It's too much, if we get it over now, more than half of the money will probably be divided.

"Uncle, what should we do now? Some of those salt merchants' families have been arrested. It seems that they have all been arrested. What should we do now?" Jin Wang's son Zhu Zhenxuan hurriedly found Zhu Xinlong and asked. .

"What are you talking about? All the salt merchant's family members have been arrested. Who has been arrested?" Zhu Xinlong stood up anxiously when he heard this, looked at Zhu Zhenxuan and asked.

"Now I know that there are many families, but I don't know what's going on. I just know that in Taiyuan City, many imperial guards and Jinyiwei are operating. Uncle, now that my father is not here, can you do anything? "Zhu Zhenxi still looked at Zhu Xinlong and asked,
There is no way, my father is not at home, and I have never encountered such a thing. Before the Wu family was arrested, my family suffered a huge loss. Now the Wang family, Fan family and Zhang family may also be arrested, which will be troublesome. The small salt merchants here are also from the Jin Dynasty.

"Impossible, how dare Zhang Hao do something like this, isn't he afraid of those ministers impeaching him? He dares to arrest people indiscriminately, it's impossible!" Zhu Xinlong walked back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back,

At this time, the housekeeper of his house ran over anxiously, and immediately said to Zhu Xinlong: "My lord is not good, now the imperial guards are arresting people everywhere in the city, and they are all from the family of the salt merchants, and we I saw the imperial guards dragging salt out of the warehouses of those salt merchants!"

"What are you talking about, dragging the salt out? How is it possible?" Zhu Xinlong became even more anxious. If the salt was found, it would be troublesome, but Zhang Hao's investigation is not enough.

"Uncle, what should we do? Otherwise, let's write to my father and ask my father to come back?" Zhu Zhenxuan looked at Zhu Xinlong and asked.

"Can he come back? Did he dare to come back without the emperor's order?" Zhu Xinlong shouted anxiously,

He felt that he shouldn't have asked other princes before, he should have agreed to the emperor from the very beginning, and the fine was fine. But now, the people of the King Jin family lost not only 200 million taels, but more than ten times.

And those salt merchants may have to reshuffle in the future. There may be no salt merchants in Shanxi, and even if there are, it has nothing to do with their Jinwang family.

"No, I'm going to find Zhang Hao. Is Zhang Hao still serving as the Minister of Political Affairs?" Zhu Xinlong looked at the butler and asked.

"Still, there is no news that he has come out!" The butler nodded immediately.

"That's good, that's good!" Zhu Xinlong went out immediately, and Zhu Zhenxuan also followed.

"Why did you come here? You had a feud with Zhang Hao before, and Zhang Hao saw you, which made it even more troublesome. This time you are not allowed to stand out, just stay at home!" Zhu Xinlong said to Zhu Zhenxuan.

"Oh, that's fine, uncle, I'll wait for you at home!" Zhu Zhenxuan immediately nodded and said, knowing that Zhang Hao might not treat him.Zhu Xinlong quickly left the gate of the mansion and went to the Yamen,

When they arrived at the place where Chengxuan's political envoy Si Yamen was located, Zhu Xinlong sent someone to report, while Zhang Hao and Yu Dafang were still chatting.

"Zhu Xinlong is here? This? I guess he didn't come to see the officials!" Yu Dafang said and looked at Zhang Hao.

"Then let him in, it's time to get in touch!" Zhang Hao said with a smile after hearing this.

"Yes!" The servant went out immediately, and after a while, Zhu Xinlong came in from the outside, saw Zhang Hao sitting in the upper seat, and immediately came over with a smile.

"I've seen General Fuguo!" Zhang Hao stood up first, he had no choice, he was a clan, and his status was higher, but in terms of power, he couldn't compare to him, and in terms of receiving the trust of the emperor, he was not as good as himself.There are too many people in the clan, and many of them have titles, but most of these titles are only used to receive salaries, and others are useless, but they can still dominate in the local area.

"Are you Zhang Hao, the son of British Duke Zhang Rong?" Zhu Xinlong stood there, looking at Zhang Hao with a smile and asked.

"Yes, my father also mentioned you to me!" Zhang Hao nodded.

"What a talent!" Zhu Xinlong praised with a smile.

"General Fuguo, are you making fun of me on purpose? In the capital, everyone doesn't know that Zhang Hao is a reckless man, nicknamed Zhang Manzi. Don't call me a good-looking talent in the future, it's just scolding me!" Zhang Hao still smiled Said.

"How is it possible, people in the capital don't understand!" Zhu Xinlong still said with a smile, and he didn't think Zhang Hao was a reckless man in his heart, but judging from his style of handling things today, he looked a bit like him.

"Please sit down!" Zhang Hao stopped talking nonsense with him, made a gesture of please, and sat on the main seat himself.

"Well, you have just arrived in Taiyuan, and our King Jin is not in Taiyuan, so as the younger brother of King Jin, I still have to come and visit. How about going to my house for dinner at night? Anyway, I am a member of the King Jin family. It's also good to entertain!" Zhu Xinlong asked Zhang Hao.

"I don't have time during this period. Many people were arrested today. These people still need to be interrogated!" Zhang Hao said with a smile and waved his hands.

"A lot of people have been arrested, who are they? I heard outside that the family members of those salt merchants were all arrested. Could it be that those salt merchants were also arrested, Zhang Hao, I am much older than you, and you Dad is about the same age, so it is okay for you to be your uncle?" Zhu Xinlong looked at Zhang Hao while talking.

"Well, of course!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"I listened to my uncle's advice. Those salt merchants can't be arrested. Once they are caught, what will happen to the lack of salt? This has already happened now. If the salt merchants disappear, how will the salt in Ming Dynasty be circulated in the future? "Zhu Xinlong stared at Zhang Hao and said, in fact, he was warning Zhang Hao.

"Uncle, I was joking. No one else can do a profitable business. Who doesn't know that salt merchants are very profitable. Without them, can this industry disappear? Don't worry, it's okay!" Zhang Hao said indifferently.

"This!" Zhu Xinlong was about to speak just when he found that Yu Dafang was also here.

"You guys are chatting, I'll go out and have a look first! Marquis Lu An, if you have any orders, please send someone to inform me!" Yu Dafang was not stupid, knowing that it might be inconvenient for him to be here, so he stood up and faced Zhu Xinlong Said.

"Okay!" Zhang Hao nodded, while Zhu Xinlong stood up and solemnly returned the gift to Zhu Xinlong.

After Yu Dafang left, Zhu Xinlong went to sit next to Zhang Hao.

"Zhang Hao, you can't arrest those people. Your father and my brother have always had a good relationship. If you do this, won't you be a trap for others?" Zhu Xinlong looked at Zhang Hao in a low voice and said.

"Other people's trap, whose?" Zhang Hao pretended to be confused, knowing what Zhu Xinlong meant.

"What do you think? Our King Jin has always abided by the laws of Ming Dynasty here, but we dare not do anything out of line. Now that you have come here and arrested so many salt merchants, I'm afraid it's not good! If it spread, you thought it was our Jin Dynasty. Wang failed to manage those people well!" Zhu Xinlong continued talking to Zhang Hao.

"Uncle, you are joking. This matter has nothing to do with the King of Jin. If management is also a matter of the chief envoy, how much does it have to do with the King of Jin?" Zhang Hao continued to pretend to be confused.

"Nephew, you listen to your uncle on this matter, or you write a letter and go back to ask your father, let your father go and talk to the King of Jin, how about it?" Zhu Xinlong saw that Zhang Hao didn't like oil and salt, Immediately carried out Zhang Hao's father.

"My father? This matter has nothing to do with my father. This is my errand. Besides, my father can't control me? No, uncle, what do you mean by coming here today? Pleading for those businessmen? This is not okay, they committed crimes. It's my Ming's law, and my arrest is in line with the procedure!" Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Xinlong solemnly and said.

"Hey, Zhang Hao, in terms of the relationship between our family and yours, how about doing it this time? Let those salt merchants go!" Zhu Xinlong cupped his hands at Zhang Hao again.

"What about the shortage of salt?" Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Xinlong unceremoniously and asked.
