Chapter 333

Zhang Hao asked Shen Lian if there was any news from the government, Shen Lian immediately said no, there was no news from the government yet.When Zhang Hao heard it, he stood there and thought about it, and said: "Add it, let the emperor send someone to notify me, and say that I have been impeached, and ask me to explain in writing!"

"Ah?" Shen Lian looked at Zhang Hao incomprehensibly, not knowing what it meant, why did the emperor want to do such a thing, besides, the emperor would listen to Zhang Hao.

"After adding it, send it back!" Zhang Hao said to Shen Lian, Shen Lian nodded, and added that sentence,
Then Zhang Hao just sat there thinking about what to do next, how to get all the members of Jin Wang's family off to participate in this game, it's not enough now, and they can't be wiped out all at once.

"My lord, my side is ready!" Shen Lian said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, send it back when it's done!" Zhang Hao waved at Shen Lian and said, while he continued to think about it, Shen Lian went out immediately,
At this time, Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng also came in from the outside and cupped their hands at Zhang Hao.

"How is it going?" Zhang Hao asked them.

"The entire Shanxi Road side has been fully rolled out today. At the same time, we have also delivered to some places in Henan. It is estimated that other places will be delivered soon. It is estimated that there will be more places to be delivered tomorrow!" Hu Zongxian cupped his hands to Zhang Hao and said.

"Okay, so much salt, even if it is supplied to the whole country, it is enough. By the way, the salt farms in Shanxi can produce 100 million salt farms a year, while the output of Hedong salt farms, Changlu salt farms, and Lianghuai salt farms is even greater. , you go to the salt field in Shanxi tomorrow and announce the rules to them,

From now on, the court will buy their salt in the future at 3 Wen per catty. At the same time, it will be tax-free, and all salt will be exempt from tax. In the past, those salt merchants had to collect taxes from those salt households, and then those salt households would pay the tax to the court. Tomorrow, I will ask the chief envoy, have those salt merchants really paid such taxes?
As for you, when you get there, you must keep those salt households safe, and tell them the policy that future salt can only be sold to the government. If you sell it to private individuals, it will be a capital offense and must not be committed! "Zhang Hao explained to Hu Zongxian.

"Understood, I'll be there early tomorrow morning!" Hu Zongxian nodded immediately.

"Zhang Juzheng, you have to follow, and you will take care of things here in Shanxi!" Zhang Hao said to Zhang Juzheng.

"Yes, my lord!" Zhang Juzheng said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Well, there are no other things, the structure must be built!" Zhang Hao continued to say to them.

"Yes, my lord!" The two of them clasped their hands together again, and soon the two of them went out. Zhang Hao was just sitting there thinking about things.
At this moment, in Zhu Xinlong's mansion, Zhu Xinlong is also waiting for the news from the capital, especially Hu Zongxian is now laying salt, he is very anxious, once the crisis of salt shortage is lifted, then they These salt merchants are in trouble, and their Jinwang family are all in trouble.

"Uncle, what should we do now? They have already spread the salt, and when there is no crisis of salt, how can we bring down Zhang Hao?" Zhu Zhenxuan looked at Zhu Xinlong very anxiously and said.

"The old man knows that now the old man is also thinking of countermeasures. The key is that Zhang Hao is too difficult to deal with. He will hit hard as soon as he comes, and he will not give us a chance to think of countermeasures!" Zhu Xinlong said very depressed at the moment,

Zhang Hao's actions were too fast, so fast that they couldn't react. Who would have thought that the day after Zhang Hao arrived, he would start to clean up those salt merchants and start selling salt now. How to deal with the salt, the court has not yet decided. In conclusion, Zhang Hao will sell it first.

"Uncle, I feel like I need to inform my father, I can't wait!" Zhu Zhenxuan looked at Zhu Xinlong and said.

"It has been notified. Your father actually knows everything. However, now we still need the support of those ministers in the capital. There are some things that cannot be announced to those ministers. If those ministers know, they will We won’t impeach Zhang Hao anymore, so now we can only hide this matter for as long as we can, as long as we can get Zhang Hao down!” Zhu Xinlong said while sitting there, touching his forehead.

"Then, if the emperor knows that Zhang Hao has done this, will he let Zhang Hao come down so quickly?" Zhu Zhenxuan said after hearing this, looking at Zhu Xinlong.

"This is what the old man is worried about. However, if the ministers know that Zhang Hao can solve the crisis of salt, who would dare to impeach Zhang Hao? It's the same with your father now. There is no other way. If we can't bring down Zhang Hao, our entire Jin Dynasty will be in trouble!" Zhu Xinlong said anxiously.

"That, that, really can't do it, find a chance?" Zhu Zhenxuan said, gesturing with his hand on his neck.

"You're crazy. If Zhang Hao dies, all of us in the Jin family will die, you know? He is an imperial envoy, or Lu Anhou, the son of the British Duke Zhang Rong! You are not allowed to mess around!" Zhu Xinlong heard, Shocked, he immediately stared at Zhu Xinlong and warned him.

"But, Uncle, if Zhang Hao doesn't fall, will our Jin Dynasty still have a good life? I can't figure out why the emperor is staring at us in Shanxi!" Zhu Xinlong said angrily.

"Why do you say that if you didn't threaten Zhang Hao at the beginning, such a thing would have happened? The emperor saw that the Wu family had our support and was so courageous, so he did it. What do you think? Zhang Hao will be fine. To deal with our King Jin? If there is no emperor's order, why would he dare to do this? Who gave him the courage?" Zhu Xinlong looked at Zhu Zhenxuan very angrily and shouted.

"Yes, but, it's such a small matter, so big, is it worth it? The emperor just doesn't like the people of our Jin Dynasty!" Zhu Zhenxuan immediately said angrily to Zhu Xinlong.

"Okay, don't make any more trouble. What we need now is to find a way to get the court to overthrow Zhang Hao. Now that two cabinet ministers have taken action, it is impossible for the emperor to ignore it!" Zhu Xinlong looked helplessly at Zhu Zhen Xie said.

"But what if we don't succeed?" Zhu Zhenxuan looked at Zhu Xinlong and asked.

"I don't know, I can only pray now. There is no way out in this matter. If we fail, the consequences will be very serious!" Zhu Xinlong still leaned there helplessly and said,

At this moment, those salt merchants also lived in the restaurant. They found that they could not go out, they could not leave Taiyuan City, they moved around in the city casually, and they were followed by Jin Yiwei when they went out. Checked, now, they are under house arrest here.

"Is there any news from King Jin?" A salt merchant looked at Zhang Sijiao and asked.

"I don't know, there is no news. My elder brother sent a letter saying that many ministers are now impeaching Zhang Hao, but I don't know if it has any effect. Now everyone hopes that the emperor can severely punish Zhang Hao, but the emperor trusts Zhang Hao very much, so this matter is still a matter of fact." We need to wait!" Zhang Sijiao looked at them and said.

"It's the same with me, now we just need to see the effect of the impeachment!" Fan Tianming also looked at them and said helplessly.

"Wait, if we don't succeed, we probably will be beheaded, but I don't accept it, and we didn't do anything wrong, right? Why should we kill our heads? Isn't it because we didn't sell the salt? Just beheaded?" Wang Chongyi Looking at them, they also asked.

"That's right, we didn't do anything, why kill the head and ransack the house?" Zhang Sijiao also thought of this, and immediately looked at them and asked.

"That's right, we hid table salt, but it's not that we won't sell it, we're just taking inventory, right, we're going to sell it in a few days!" Wang Chongyi looked at them and asked, and they nodded again and again,
But Fan Tianming said: "You guys forgot, when Zhang Hao came to us the first day, we told him that there is no salt now, and we even wrote a written statement!"

"This!" These people were immediately dumbfounded, they almost forgot about this, and now they have something in Zhang Hao's hands.

"How can I get those papers back? It doesn't matter how much money I have, but if it's not possible, how about we talk to Zhang Hao? Let's give him money and ask him to give us the papers?" Wang Chongyi looked at them and asked.

"Impossible, Zhang Hao wouldn't do such a thing. Zhang Hao can make money, and his ability to make money is much better than ours, but even so, he can't rob the house, can he? Can't the whole family be beheaded?" Zhang Sijiao then looked at them and asked. up.

"Well, it's hard to say. Salt is related to the court. We controlled the salt and didn't sell it. Hey, we really shouldn't have listened to King Jin and the others. If we continued to sell salt, Zhang Hao would at most take back the salt and give it back to him. It is impossible for him to steal our money, I feel that we made a mistake in this move, we provoked Zhang Hao, and instead gave Zhang Hao a chance!" Fan Tianming sat there and said with a sigh,
The few of them heard this and nodded, feeling a little regretful in their hearts. They should not have listened to King Jin and the others, and wanted to fight against the court. Now the king of Jin can’t fight against the court. How can businessmen like themselves fight? It's better to cooperate with Zhang Hao from the beginning. In this case, their family business can at least be maintained!

"What should we do now?" Wang Chongyi looked at them and asked, but no one could think of a way.
The next day, Zhang Hao went to the iron mine. Zhang Hao wanted to know how the iron production in Shanxi was?As well as how to sell iron in the future, these all need to be inspected on the spot.

The iron side is managed by the Ministry of Industry, and there are supervisors here. However, the court needs to pay for the iron every year. However, [-]% of Daming’s iron comes from Shanxi, so Zhang Hao needs it. Take a good look and see how to rectify the iron.
