Could it be clean?

If you clean people, you can’t do the business of a salt merchant!

Zhu Zhanji chuckled: "But I think, the two Huai Rivers are so big, there is always someone to do things, right? I heard that those families outside did not collect much silver. According to the account book, it seemed that they gave it to the damn Japanese pirates. No wonder, they donated money and food to southern Xinjiang last time, but there was only a little bit..."

"You are the grandson, Zhang is not talented. Recently, the clan has gained something. He is willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to the soldiers who fought against the southern Xinjiang!" Zhang Jianbai, the second navy, immediately spoke up and said that he would donate liang of silver.

Everyone had already reacted.

The words of the Crown Prince are easy to understand.

Some time ago, the salt merchants in Lianghuai donated a total of 300,000 taels of silver, far lower than the military orders made by the crown prince in the court.

Why is this happening?

Now it's cleared.

It is because the people outside have given all the money from their families to the Japanese pirates, so they have no money to donate.

The thirty-eight people in Hefeng Pavilion are now.

If you don’t take out more money, you will have collusion with the Japanese pirates, because you will also give all your money to the Japanese pirates.

Collaborate with Japanese pirates.

This is the death penalty for treason.

You can earn money again when you lose money, and you will lose everything when you lose people.

"The grass-roots people are willing to donate 300,000 taels of silver!"

"Two hundred thousand taels!"

"Thirty-five thousand taels!"

"Fifteen thousand taels!"

“…”

The salt merchants in Lianghuai who had thought it through clearly reported huge numbers one after another.

Zhu Zhanji pursed his lips and his eyes sank.

“…”

When the Hefeng Pavilion calmed down again, the salt merchants carefully observed the Taisun's expression.

Deng Yongxin, who had been prepared on the side, had already stepped forward with the account book and placed it carefully in front of Zhu Zhanji.

"The grandson, a total of 3.36 million taels of silver..."

Much exceeds the established number of 1.36 million taels.

"One,36,000 taels will be escorted to Nanjiang and delivered to Youjian."

"Two million taels are escorted to the capital."

Zhu Zhanji opened his eyes and his eyes were calm.

Three,360,000 taels of silver were divided.

Three hundred and six hundred and six hundred thousand taels.

Almost equivalent to the salt class in the Ming Dynasty.

When Ye Yingfa was killed, Cao Li decided himself, Wang Bohou died, and gunfire kept ringing everywhere in the city, under multiple shocks.

There were also two navy soldiers, Zhang Jianbai and Ding Zhiming, who agreed.

More than 30 salt merchants from Lianghuai on the scene took out all their assets and showed their greatest loyalty.

Zhu Zhanji nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced at several tables: "Master Deng, let's have tea!"

It turned out that it was in Hefeng Pavilion, and there was no tea in it from the beginning to now.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji said, and the salt merchants present finally felt a little relieved.

When the tea was not long, it was loose.

Following them were Yu Qian and Zhang Tian.

Today, Yu Qian was wearing a young army guard robe and a saber on his waist, looking very heroic.

Zhang Tian had murderous aura on his face, and his body was covered with blood, and his eyes were full of bleakness, which was intimidating.

"You reported to the Grandson, 18 salt merchants in Lianghuai who colluded with Japanese pirates. All those who resisted were executed, and the rest were imprisoned. Wan Gao, the salt censor of Lianghuai, was leading people to investigate everywhere." Zhang Tian made a sound and conveyed the current situation in the city to every salt merchant present.

Exorced.

imprison.

Search.

The words and sentences scared the salt merchants present so much that they panicked and couldn't help but shout for the blessing of heaven, and they just surrendered in time.

Otherwise, I am afraid that they will end up with a life-and-death extinction like those eighteen people.

Zhang Tian’s report is completed.

Yu Qian walked forward.

"Yangzhou Shilin Qingliu, famous scholars, are drafting articles and traveling north to the court to prove that the salt affairs in Lianghuai were corrupt and local gentry colluded with Japanese pirates."

"Go and say hello to the old gentlemen for this palace." Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and focused his eyes on the salt merchants on the scene again.

"Taisun, I don't know if Ye Yingfa and others..." After calming down, someone spoke in a low voice.

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and interrupted: "Today, please come for three things."

As he said that, he paused: "The first thing is to prove that everyone here is not the same group as Ye Yingfa and other officials and treasons, treasons and profiteers."

Seeing Taisun’s decision, everyone’s biggest threat was removed, there was a burst of breath sound at the scene.

Many people even began to speak out, condemning corrupt officials and treacherous businessmen led by Ye Yingfa.

Zhu Zhanji did not interrupt anymore, and quietly watched these people express their loyalty.

Lianghuai is a big piece of fat. Zhu Zhanji's plan did not have the idea of ​​taking over the entire Lianghuai salt business.

The salt course system is very good now.

The court and the government were in the distribution area, and the specific production and marketing were handed over to the following merchants.

The killing of Ye Yingfa and cracking down on the eighteen treason businessmen. One is to clear the salt affairs of Lianghuai, the second is to increase the tax revenue of Lianghuai, and the third is to redefine the distribution of interests.

A person cannot do anything.

Even if he is the emperor.

Or the so-called imperial crown prince.

If you want to do things, you need someone below to help and follow the orders.

The thirty-eight remaining Lianghuai salt merchants were selected by Zhu Zhanji and will participate in the next Lianghuai salt business distribution.

When everyone gradually calmed down, Zhu Zhanji's face was full of warmth.

"The second thing is the share that Lianghuai Salt Affairs has now vacant..."

The distribution of interests has always been heart-warming.

After Zhu Zhanji said this, the salt merchants at the scene seemed to have completely forgotten the previous fear and anxiety, and they all started to discuss it, and their words were all about how to maximize their interests.

How many salt merchants led by Wang Bohou and colluded with Japanese pirates in the two Huaihe Rivers?

This number, just thinking about it, can make people's blood expand.

Previously, someone had a little resentment because he was forced by the crown prince, who made a donation that was almost the same as spending all his family's wealth.

At this time, these people had no resentment.

How can the benefits that can bring about the vacant Lianghuai share of Wang Bohou and others be comparable to those of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?

Ding Zhiming and Zhang Jianbai sat together, and the two were very low-key.

They were from Huizhou. As Hui merchants, they were very clear about the changes in Huizhou this year.

Hui merchants are not like Shanxi merchants, and they value interests particularly. Hui merchants are more likely to have to go far away from their hometown because of the dilemma of Huizhou.

But when they make money, they will return to Huizhou with their wealth.

Building a luxury house is the first step, and it is understandable, after all, it is a return home in glory.

But beyond that, what they are most faithful is education!

In the family, all children with underage and ambition will conduct complete study with their support.

How many two Jinshis and famous scholars in Huizhou have produced?

Although he is not as good as Jiangxi, he has never been fewer than the top scholar in Huizhou.

It was precisely because Zhu Zhanji was attracted by this that he did not suppress Hui merchants too much.
