Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 100
Yu Tanku sat in a courtyard in the Wuxing County Mansion, with a piece of paper spread out on the table in front of him, without a word on it, and the ink that had been ground in the stone inkstone seemed to be drying.However, the brush in his hand is raised and lowered, and there is no lack of hesitation in his expression.

News came from Yuhang County this morning that three officials he had sent to Yuhang as city supervisor were attacked by mobs, two were killed and one injured, and the trilogy was also dispersed by the mobs.

When he heard the news, Yu Tan was stunned. After a while, his emotions gradually eased, and soon he was furious again.

Yan Shi, the cowardly Yan Shi!

Yuhang is adjacent to Zhejiang, Qiantang to the west, and Jiaxing to the east. The waterway connects the east and the west, and the north and south are also thoroughfare. The boat market located at the Zhejiang wharf is the center of the four directions. The city supervisor here earns billions a year!It is not only an important source of finance for the county government, but also an important channel for obtaining Taiwanese capital.

The so-called Taiwanese capital refers to the money, silk, rice, grain and other taxes that the prefectures and counties export to Gyeonggi, Taiwan, and Neiyuan, which are independent of the accounts of the county government.At present, it is also an important criterion for measuring the achievements of state and county officials.

Yu Tan looked at the accounts of the Yuhang Municipal Supervisory Committee in recent years, and was shocked.Not only is the income plummeting, but the management is even more chaotic.Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed for the unwarranted embezzlement of goods and ships, causing the transit business travel in Yuhang to plummet, less than two or three out of ten in its heyday!
He is not a corrupt Confucian who doesn't care about worldly affairs. He has gone through practical work, so how can he not see the hidden truth clearly.

The largest commodity in Yuhang Zhou City is salt, which is transported westward along Zhejiang to West Zhejiang, Jiangzhou and other places, and the largest producer of sea salt is naturally the Jiaxing Yan family headed by Wucheng Yan.Usually Wu Xing did not have a prefect, and Yan Ping, as the governor of the county, naturally had to make arrangements in Zhou City to escort his family's salt transportation.

Although a consensus has been reached with the Shen family, Yu Tan also knows the tyranny of the local clans nowadays, so he didn't intend to directly confront the Yan clan of the Wucheng clan.

But if it's something else, he can still tolerate it.But wealth is the most important job of a resident official, especially for a "bicycle" like him who only has the job of a herdsman but not the title of a warlord. If he can't even control the financial power, then what power is there in office!

Therefore, after sorting out the general affairs of the county government, even though he knew that the Yan family might be offended, he quickly sent three subordinate officials to Yuhang to take over Zhoushi, and one of them was a descendant of his Yu family.

But he still didn't imagine that the Yan family would do things so relentlessly!Although the current world is not peaceful, there are so many rioters in the hearts of the Three Wus in Yuhang!And even dare to openly attack and kill the officials of the county government!

"The thief of the Yan Xiao sect, he should be punished for his evil!"

Although over sixty years old, Yu Tan still has a staunch temperament.The authority of the chief official was ignored, and one of the subordinate officials who was killed was still his valued subordinate. This time he brought Wu Xing to let him practice his duties, but he did not expect to die here!
It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

Even if Yu Tan wants to go to the imperial court and ask for the title of military superintendent, he will send out all the county soldiers!Isn't there rioters in Yuhang?Then kill the rioters!

However, when it came time to write, he hesitated in his heart.Now he has no help in the court, and he can get the position of prefect thanks to Shen Chong's recommendation.Originally, there was still some friendship with Wang, but after this, they became estranged from each other.If Mrs. Wang finds out that he is in distress at the moment, she may even add insult to injury.

If he fails to ask for military supervision, his weakness will be exposed even more, and he will have no prestige at all in office. I am afraid that not only the Yan family will intensify, but also other families will follow suit.

Getting back up again this time is already a luck. If he makes another mistake and is dismissed, Yu Tan can imagine that he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life.That was an unbearable heavy blow to him.

Another thought that immediately came to mind was to ask the Shen family for help. Although the Yan family is rebellious, the Shen family is a wealthy family in Jiangdong, how could they be afraid of this mere family of thieves!
As soon as this idea came up, Yu Tan suddenly realized that he still underestimated Shen Chong's scheming.I'm afraid Shen Chong had expected that he would face such an embarrassing situation as early as when he thought of recommending himself.

"Shen Shiju really has a unique talent, and the future talent is no longer an old man!"

After realizing this problem, Yu Tan gave a wry smile.He really stepped into the quagmire. If he wanted to stabilize Wu Xing's situation, he must rely heavily on the Shen family.Although Shen Chong also relied on the power of the Yu family to govern Kuaiji, and they seemed to cooperate with each other, but they were still different.

Shen Chong supervised the military affairs of several counties, and Kuaiji did not have a famous Wuzong. Even if the families resisted, they dare not cross the border rashly.But he was just a bicycle, and there were many Wu Zong in Wu Xing territory, so the situation he faced was much worse.Relatively speaking, it is natural to rely more on the Shen family, so more concessions must be made.

Yu Tan had already realized this problem, but he didn't expect the situation to be worse than he imagined.But even so, Shen Chong throws out this temptation, can he refuse?
After sitting for a long time, Yu Tan finally decided not to ask the Shen family for help.He has gone through the world, and he has encountered worse situations than this. He is in the dust, and he has a strategy in his heart.If you ask the Shen family for help when you encounter problems, you will really become a vassal of the Shen family, which is unacceptable to him.

After making up his mind, Yu Tan wrote several letters in succession, most of which had to be sent to Kuaiji to explain to his family and several familiar families, so that they could better cooperate with Shen Chong .This is to prevent accidents in the future, so that it is convenient to ask Shen Chong for help.

At the same time, he also asked the family to gather some troops from the tribe and send them to Wu Xing, also for his own safety.The ruthless methods of Yan's sect thieves made him realize that he was extremely insecure, and these violent actions against Wuzong could not be measured by common sense.

The last letter was sent to the Lu family in Wujun.

It is not a secret in Wuzhong that Yan's mad dog belongs to the family.As the same noble family in Wuzhong, the Lu family naturally communicated better than the Yan clan's thieves.If the Lu family doesn't restrain the Yan family and let them restrain themselves, Yu Tan doesn't mind betting on his own reputation, but he will also make the Lu family feel uneasy!
After finishing all this, Yu Tan didn't give up, but spread out another piece of paper, and wrote with a brush: "The former Guanzi was neat..."

When Guan Zhong governed the Qi State, Yu Tan didn't know whether he let the common people make salt for their business.But it doesn't matter, no one in this world can make it clear.His family's scriptures have been passed down from generation to generation, and his collection of books is the best in Wuzhong. Who can refute it!

Although Yu Tan intends to vigorously promote the method of drying salt, he also knows that it is not easy for the common people to accept this novel technique, and he will encounter resistance from the old salt family.Therefore, it was originally planned that after the county's government affairs were on track, it would communicate with those old Yan families in Wu Xing, and then promote it.

Those old salt producers are proficient in experience, labor, salt fields, and even sales. Although they have to face the competition from the new salt industry, they have their own advantages. If they are prepared, they can smoothly transition to the new salt drying method. .

However, the actions of the Yan family broke his bottom line, so he decided not to show mercy, and use this new law to gather the manpower of the county to completely defeat the Yan family!
After drying the ink, Yu Tan knew that once this "On Salt" was made public, there would be no room for negotiation with Yan.But he didn't care, but carefully thought about how to expand the effect.

Because of the relationship with Xiang Yi years ago, Yu Tan paid special attention to Shen Zhezi's deeds.He also read the "Fu on Yuban" written by this young man in Wujun Yaji.In addition to appreciating the literary talents of young people, I also admire the means of creating a family business with a piece of Fu.

After pondering for a while, Yu Tan decided to follow suit, and after gathering the sages, he announced the current people to the public.

But before that, he had to ventilate to Wu Xing's other Yan family first, so as to avoid pushing these people to the Yan family's side.

Therefore, after putting away his masterpiece, Yu Tan ordered his servants: "Go and ask Shen Bie to come to my place."

--------------

On a winter afternoon, in a building in the Yan Mansion, Yan music is played, and there is a woman's melodious chants, mixed with rough panting, the sound is like an old cow plowing the field.

At this moment, Yan Anlue's exasperated voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Brother, something is wrong..."

Yan Ping's face darkened, his bloated body rolled down on the bed, he grabbed a cloak to wrap his body, and then let Yan An in.

Seeing the beautiful scene in the room, Yan An's heart twitched, and immediately remembered the business, and said in a hurried voice: "There was a life in Yuhang..."

Hearing Yan An's narration, Yan Ping's face suddenly changed: "How can it be so serious? I didn't tell you to just throw people out of Zhoushi!"

"I do not know either……"

Yan An said with a bitter face, planning is one thing, and accidents always happen when it is implemented.If the city supervisors of the county government were too persistent, it would be no surprise to kill a few people with the temperament of their own children.

"That's a little difficult."

Yan Ping murmured that he originally planned to join forces with Yu Tan to eradicate the Shen family first, so he made many concessions to Yu Tan. Recently, he seldom even went to the county mansion, and didn't want to confront Yu Tan directly.But I didn't expect that Yu Tan would get worse and want to take back Yuhangzhou City from his hands. This is simply unbearable!
Yuhang Zhoushi is the Yan family's largest salt road sales volume, and I don't know how much profit it has brought to the family in the past few years.As a result, as soon as Yu Tanfu took office, he wanted to take the Yan family's biggest source of wealth. If he had to give in even this, how could the Yan family still have a foothold in Wu Xing in the future!
Although he was short-tempered, Yan Ping still had some reservations, because he learned from the Lu family that Yu Tan's appointment as the prefect of Wu Xing seemed to have a lot to do with the Shen family.This made him smell a hint of conspiracy, so he didn't let people kill the killer, but he didn't expect an accident.

"Brother, I always feel that the Lu family is deceiving my family. The Yu and Shen families are hostile to each other, and Wuzhong knows it all. Shen Shiju is by no means a stupid person. How could he be willing to hand over the land of Wu Xing to Yu Tan? Besides, Yu Tan was taken over by the Shen family at the beginning of the year. Zhuzi was so embarrassed by his confrontation that he even resigned from office and returned to his hometown, how can such enmity be resolved!"

Hearing Yan An's words, Yan Ping also agreed quite a bit, and said bitterly: "I have long suspected in my heart that the Lu family's false words deceived me, but they used this to confuse the current situation, to highlight their family's ability, and to ask my family for help. Ask for more wealth! Hmph, in the final analysis, his family is no longer as powerful as it used to be, without my family's help, how can it remain noble!"

"That's it, you go to invite Zhu Gong to see the Shen family's heart. And visit the other families. If Yu Tan still doesn't know how to restrain himself, let him know my family's real tricks!"
