Farmer’s Blessed Girl

"...I don't believe it." So where did you say Qingzhou got so much salt?

"Forget it, don't think about it, let the county magistrates buy salt and divide them according to the previous amount. Next season, let someone go to Qingzhou a month earlier to inquire about the news. If there is the best, go to Jiangnan. At that time, it is the season of summer harvest, which is very labor-intensive, and there must be enough salt."

"Yes."

From Qingzhou to the west, Jizhou and Xiangzhou, and to the south, Zhengzhou, Huazhou and other places received the gift car sent by Bai Shan. The soldiers went south in Xiangzhou, and after reaching Zhengzhou, they returned eastward, passing Huazhou and Yanzhou. After returning to Qingzhou with Yunzhou, because they did not bring enough salt, Yanzhou divided the last three carts of salt, so when they arrived in Yunzhou, they went in empty.

The soldiers directly sent an official letter to the governor of Yunzhou, as well as a letter from Bai Shan.

After reading the prefect of Yunzhou, he was speechless for a while, "So I'm gone?"

The soldier comforted the governor of Yunzhou, "Yunzhou is not far from Qingzhou. If you are in urgent need of salt, you might as well send someone and me back to get it."

The Inspector of Yunzhou thought for a while, but nodded in agreement, and then dispatched a team to go to Qingzhou to fetch salt with them, um, brought money and carriages.

When the person was sent away, the master was a little worried, "Does Qingzhou really have so much salt?"

"You'll know in ten days."

From Yunzhou to Qingzhou, they went back and forth for six days. Four days were enough for them to buy salt. If they didn’t come back after ten days, or they didn’t bring salt when they returned, they would have to find salt elsewhere.

"The Jiangnan side..."

"Hmph, let them continue grinding. By the way, let them live in the inn. Anyway, the food and lodging are all provided by the inn. If you want to increase the price, let alone the door, there are no windows." The governor of Yunzhou looked very bad. He sneered: "If they want to fight with the imperial court, then they will fight. They are just taking the Central Plains and betting on the lives of all the people in the salt-deficient areas. No wonder Your Majesty can't tolerate them."

Are the aristocratic families in the Central Plains and Guanlong arrogant enough?

They are more powerful, and they don't pay much attention to the royal family and the emperor, but who dares to gamble with the salt of the people in the world?

No wonder His Majesty moved the knife against Jiangnan first, there is really no bottom line.

The governor of Yunzhou threw his sleeves angrily and turned back to the yamen, and then began to write an essay on the impeachment of Jiangnan Yanzheng.

At this time, Yang Heshu was trying his best to control the salt production of various houses and yamen at all levels in the salt field. For this reason, he took the risk to personally inspect the salt field, and then saw the fried pot and the salt field that had been emptied of wood.

The official who received Yang Heshu said while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead: "Your Excellency also saw it. It's not that the lower officials shied away. It's because the salt field is old and firewood is hard to find, so the salt field had to stop cooking salt."

The official looked at Yang Heshu, who had no expression on his face, and said thoughtfully, "I also ask your lord to write a letter and wait for a few good words for me. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice."

Yang Heshu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and stared at him silently for a long time, just as the sweat on the official's face became more and more, he nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Yang Heshu turned around and left.

After riding a long distance, he slowed down the speed of the horse and led the people on the official road slowly. After a while, two horses chased after him from behind, and he restrained the horse.

The two guards clasped their fists and saluted the horse. Before hitting the horse, they approached Yang Heshu and lowered their voices and said, "There is salt in the warehouse, and there is a lot of it. It occupies two-thirds of the warehouse."

That is to say, it is almost full.

Yang Heshu clenched the reins in his hands, and whispered: "Let people keep an eye on the intersection. If they transfer the official salt, they must keep an eye on it. The official should see what they will do with the official salt in the future."

After returning, Yang Heshu sent an official letter to various salt farms, asking them to state the current inventory of the salt farm, the number of workers in the salt farm, and the daily consumption...

When Gu Huai received the news, he pondered for a moment and then said, "Drag for a while and see what he wants to do."

Lu Binghua, who was making tea by the side, said indifferently, "What else can I do? I just want to force them to sell the salt, but every salt field has found a reason, from the officials to the long-term managers, all of them are blocked. Even if Yang Heshu knew there was a problem, and there was no evidence, he would have nothing to do with us."

Zhu Hongru, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head and smiled, "Brother Lu is too cruel to Lord Yang. Speaking of which, we still have some friendship."

The Yang family is from the Guanlong family. When the clothes went south, one of the Yang family fell into their Wu County. After that, the families got married, and the Lu family had a aunt married into the Yang family, and the Yang family also had a woman married into the Lu family. , Not to mention, one of Lu Binghua's aunts came from a side branch of the Yang family.

This is one of the reasons why Yang and Shu are both dangerous and safe here.

There are many people who want to kill him to avoid future troubles, but because of family affection and other interests, there are also many people who want to keep him.

The emperor sent Yang Heshu over, but it really hit them seven inches. Before anyone arrived, the voices of each family were confused.

As for the fight against the imperial court, there are Lu Binghua and the others who plan to carry it to the end, and want to firmly grasp Jiangnan; naturally, there are those who want to take a step back and live in harmony with the imperial court and the emperor.

Let alone several families, it is one family, and even brothers and sisters from the same father and mother have different opinions.

Last year, the emperor took advantage of the prince's assassination and frame-up, but he arrested a lot of people in Jiangnan, and the Lu family, Zhu family and Gu family suffered losses. Among them, Lu Binghua's younger brother was arrested on suspicion of rumors that the prince rebelled and forged letters. , although the person did not die, but was sentenced to exile to Liaodong.

In this life, unless the emperor pardons the world, he may never come back.

For this reason, the Lu family had to separate a branch to go to Liaodong with his younger brother and let him settle there.

Lu Binghua's face was very ugly, and he was obviously angry.

Gu Huai then said, "Be careful. We have all seen Yang Heshu's ability. If he hadn't helped the prince last year and confused us, I wouldn't have failed miserably."

Zhu Hongru took a slow sip of the tea that was handed to him, and said with a light smile, "Yang Heshu is recognized as the number one person in the Guanlong Zhongyuan family. If you fight with him, if you can draw a tie, it's worth showing off, so what Brother Gu said doesn't matter. Wrong, for him, we should still be more careful."

Although Lu Binghua was not convinced, he didn't say it.

Gu Huai just assumed that he agreed, so sending the order made people delay time.

However, Yang Heshu was not without means. The officials of the salt farms had only delayed for two days before complaining to Gu Huai one after another. If the delay could not go on, Yang Heshu would have to directly take over the salt farms. After being replaced, even the control of the salt field will fall into the hands of Yang Heshu.

He is the patrol inspector of Huainan Road and has the right to do so.
