Sun Yong's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Sun, be careful of his words."

Qian Zhongyong glanced at Zhu Xu who had been looking at the stage, and sneered: "It's okay, it's just a little brat, let's talk about ours."

Qian Zhongyong's voice was not loud or small, and Zhu Xu and Cao Bianjiao beside him could hear it clearly.

Cao Bianjiao looked cold and was about to move forward. Zhu Xu looked at the stage and waved his hand with a constant expression.

Cao Bianjiao looked at the few people coldly. A guard not far away came over to him and whispered in his ear: "General, he is from the East Factory."

Cao Bianjiao nodded, the emperor left the palace, and Cao Huachun knew that it was normal to send someone to protect him.

After Qian Zhongyong finished speaking, Li Hanshan looked at Zhu Xu, and saw that he stared at the stage without any reaction, he leaned closer and whispered: "I heard that this eldest son Fu is amazing. I am afraid that once the salt ban is opened, most of the salt will fall into his hands."

Qian Zhongyong hurriedly followed and said, "I have inquired about it. The court has sacked the salt class. The salt produced in the salt farm will be transported directly to several chambers of commerce and ordered several chambers of commerce to transport it to various places. If someone takes over it in various places, he can get the salt after paying a certain amount of silver. If not, he will directly hand it over to the local government..."

Sun Yongzheng's eyes wandered around the two of them, and the anxiety in his eyes slowly faded, and he seemed very calm.

Li Hanshan and Qian Zhongyong looked at each other, and Li Hanshan looked at Sun Yong and said, "Brother Sun, I heard that you have some personal relationships with the shopkeeper Fan from Shanyou?"

The chamber of commerce established by Fan Jinxiong and Shanxi merchants is currently under the control of Fu Tao and is an important part of the salt administration reform. With the power of several major chambers of commerce, it has developed extremely rapidly.

Sun Yongzheng saw through the intentions of the two, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "No, the last time the shopkeeper Fan came to Beijing, I discussed the matter of private salt with me."

Qian Zhongyong continued, "I heard that this shopkeeper Fan has a good relationship with Master Fu. Mr. Fu's several chambers of commerce, private salt and canal transportation have given him a lot of benefits. Brother Sun, can you introduce it to us?"

Sun Yongzheng's expression remained unchanged, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. If he really had a great friendship with Fan Jinxiong, how could he stay in the capital for several months to clear his relationship?

However, the two of them in front of him had great help to his business. They pondered and said, "The salt ban is about to be opened. Manager Fan is probably coming to the capital soon. I can go and test it."

"Okay!" Li Hanshan was overjoyed and said, "If we can join forces with Manager Fan, we will decide the tea price this year! The imperial court collects tea tax for only 60,000 taels a year. As long as I join forces with Manager Fan, I can earn three million taels more! I can earn back without private salt!"

Zhu Xu looked at the sluts on the stage, but his mind was not on it. He listened to the three of them talking and frowned unconsciously.

He had never paid attention to the tea tax, but he did not expect that the profit would be so much!

Zhu Xu had nuts stuffed in his mouth and thought to himself.

After Li Hanshan finished speaking, he looked at Sun Yongzheng who was still calm and said with a smile, "I will visit Lord Han of the Tea Class Department later. As long as I clear the transportation departments in various places, it will be a good harvest year as in previous years!"

Qian Zhongyong smiled more when he heard Li Hanshan's words. He had a closer relationship with Li Hanshan. As long as Li Hanshan's business was good, his naturally would be better.

"Customer, I have bought you the wine and food you want."

Paotang ran up with a brocade box in his hand.

Li Hanjin was in a good mood and must throw the money over and said, "Okay, these are rewards for you."

"Xie Ke, please use it slowly!" The doorway packed up quickly. Seeing Zhu Xu's table, he hurriedly ran over and looked at it and said, "Young Master, do you want to click something?"

Zhu Xu was about to refuse, but Li Hanshan on the other side waved his hand in a very generous manner and said, "Give that young man a copy, and settle it on my account."

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Xu with a arrogant and polite look on his face.

Cao Bianjiao frowned and looked cold.

Zhu Xu knew what Li Hanshan meant, but he didn't want him to talk too much. He threw away the shell in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, and smiled at the paotang, "No need, I am happy today. I have invited everyone here today."

After saying that, he walked around the chair and downstairs.

The hall was overjoyed and followed Zhu Xu and said, "Young Master is generous, I thank you for the guests here."

Qian Zhongyong looked at Zhu Xu passing by, and couldn't help but hesitate: "This child is a bit difficult. Will we disclose our conversation?"

Li Hanshan was not afraid at all and said, "It's just a child, nothing more than the favored young man in the family. What's the terrible thing about it!"

Sun Yong was thinking about what he said just now, and there was nothing important, so he no longer worried.

Zhu Xu left the teahouse, looked at both sides, and said to Cao Bianjiao: "The show is not good, where are we going next?"

Cao Bianjiao stood behind Zhu Xu like a benchmark, but it seemed as if he had not heard Zhu Xu's words.

Zhu Xu was helpless, looked at it, and said, "Forget it, let's have a walk."

Zhu Xu walked slowly along Zhuque Street, thinking while walking.

His understanding of the Ming Dynasty was still too much to show that he could not see many things, such as tea tax, which could not be seen from the memorandum, and the ministers would not tell him.

After walking to a bridge, Zhu Xu stopped and looked at the clear and slowly flowing river water. The breeze came, and his heart was less irritated.

There were still a few lanterns by the river, and Zhu Xu couldn't help but think of that poem.

‘The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has stood on its head.’

He once asked Qian Qianyi, but he was not satisfied with every answer, and always felt that there was a certain meaning hidden.

"emperor."

Suddenly, an eunuch appeared behind him and bowed and shouted softly.

Zhu Xu was stunned and turned to look over. It was Feng Zhu. His expression moved slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

Feng Zhu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Han Yu has entered Beijing."

Zhu Xu stood there motionless, his expression did not change. In fact, he didn't know what expression to use to express his current mood.

After a long time, he turned his head and continued to look at the river surface, sighing: "The border general said he would leave as soon as he left, and the resigned cabinet master said he would come to Beijing as soon as he went to Beijing. This capital is indeed a good place, and it is very convenient to enter and exit."

Feng Zhu is an old man around Zhu Xu. In addition, he is in charge of Dongchang and knows Zhu Xu's thoughts, so he reports as soon as possible. He listened to his words, and did not move, as if he had not heard it.

Han Yu's entry into Beijing may be another pressure from the Donglin Party, forcing Zhu Xu to elect a cabinet, and he would not allow him to continue to drag it on.

Zhu Xu thought for a long time, shook his head and sighed, "It seems that he has to be added. He will be ordered to elect the cabinet three days later to add the cabinet's auxiliary ministers and order to draft a list and recommend it to the court."

"Abide by the order." Feng Zhu agreed and left in a hurry.

Han Yu entered Beijing, which made Zhu Xu feel even worse. He glanced at the river water for a few times and turned around and said, "Go back to the palace."
