Domineering Daming

Although he is dead and there is not much left in the Zhe Party, but after all, less than seven years have passed, and if he wants to buy his house in the capital, he must have money.

Wei Guanghui is now a noble elder with a rich family background, but if he wants to give away Shen Yiguan's former residence, he is probably not qualified.

Seeing that Fu Changzong didn't speak, Wei Guanghui thought he was hesitating, took a step closer, and said in a low voice almost side by side: "Master Fu, if you can open the banned saltworks as soon as possible, there will be a generous gift for you."

Fu Changzong fully understood that this old Wei Ge should have been entrusted to be a lobbyist.

He thought about what Zhu Xu had said before, and he hesitated a little and said: "Old Wei Ge, the emperor has given full power to Xin Wang to deal with this matter, and he has been to Xin Wang's mansion before he was dismissed. The meaning of the prince is that there must be a result. Unban."

Wei Guanghui's expression moved slightly, he looked forward with his hands behind his back, and said to himself: "There is a result..."

After a long time, a sinister smile appeared on his old face, and he said, "There should be a result."

Wei Guanghui turned his head to look at Fu Changzong, and said with a reserved smile: "Master Fu, that mansion is yours. In addition, you can send someone to Shengyuan Inn, just as the Ministry said, there will be 2 taels of silver bills for you .There are things in the future, and I hope Master Fu can continue to help."

Fu Changzong was stunned for a while before he understood Wei Guanghui's meaning, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

First, he didn't promise Wei Guanghui anything. Second, the 2 taels made him feel too stingy. Not to mention that he is now the "de facto" Minister of the Household Department, but a year ago, Zhu Xu The silver that passed through his hands was worth millions and taels.

But after finding out Wei Guanghui's intentions, Fu Changzong also calmed down. Looking at Wei Guanghui's confident and smiling old face, he also pretended to ponder for a while, and stretched out five fingers.

Wei Guanghui frowned, and said, "5 taels? Mr. Fu, you can't be greedy. 2 taels, but you can't earn it even after 20 years as an official."

Fu Changzong shook his head and said: "Wei Ge is wrong, what the lower official said is 50 taels!"

Wei Guanghui's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a gloomy voice, "Master Fu is joking with the Ministry, or do you really want to talk like a lion?"

Fu Changzong raised his head slightly, and said confidently: "Don't Mr. Wei Ge know that I also have a salt field, and the annual income is several 10 taels. Those people don't know how much more than me, 50, a little Not much. If Mr. Wei Ge agrees, I can persuade the emperor to go to court as soon as possible, and I can also make a promise."

Wei Guanghui's face became more and more gloomy. He only received 5 taels. Listening to Fu Changzong's words, and thinking about the salt fields in Fu Changzong's mouth, I'm afraid there is something inside the Yan government that he doesn't understand!

Don't be fooled!

"Let me think about it."

Wei Guanghui looked ugly, waved his hands, and strode away from Fu's residence.

Chapter 199

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

A faint flame danced in Shengyuan Inn, making the room look extraordinarily eerie.

"What are you talking about, he wants 200 million taels!" A middle-aged man suddenly stood up from the table and shouted with eyes wide open.

He was tall and fat, and his shadow was extraordinarily huge, making him look extraordinarily oppressive in this room.

Standing opposite him was a white-faced young man, bowed, with cold sweat on his head, and said: "Yes, Mr. Wei Ge went to Fu's residence and heard about the private distribution of the salt farm."

The light shone on the side face of the middle-aged man, and the cloudy and sunny changes, very gloomy.

It took him a while to sit back, and said in a cold tone, "Is there any definite news that the salt field has been banned?"

The white-faced young man was a cabinet secretary, looked up at the middle-aged man, and said cautiously: "Old Wei Ge said that as long as he has 200 million taels, he can convince the emperor to open the ban on saltworks as soon as possible."

The middle-aged man sneered coldly, and said: "He really thinks I'm a fool, don't pay attention to him, I'll go to Gu Bingqian's place in person tomorrow. Now I can take care of Xin Wang and Yang Lian's side, as long as I can convince Gu Bingqian again With Fu Changzong, everything is up to that little emperor!"

The white-faced young man didn't dare to speak and lowered his head.

The middle-aged man sat on the chair, glanced at the lights not far away, and said, "Have you found out about the situation of Master Ye's recovery?"

The white-faced young man said: "I have inquired about it at the Supervisor of Rituals, but there is no news yet."

The middle-aged man let out a cold snort, with a cold light in his eyes, and said: "I want to see what this little emperor is going to play, go, let the wind out, and say that if the salt ban is lifted, there will be an income of 300 million taels. My lords, it's not that I'm so talkative!"

"Yes!" The young man agreed, and quickly retreated from the room.He always felt that shopkeeper Shen was too sinister and scheming, and the young man was unwilling to stay with him for a moment.

The middle-aged man waited for the young man to go out, closed the door, listened to the chug of the oil lamp in his ear, and said to himself: "The imperial court may not want tens of millions of silver a year, but we must..."

For the matter of the salt administration, almost no one in the government and the opposition was idle.

In less than ten days, except for the high-ranking and powerful cabinet, the six ministers, the minister was lobbied, and even the six departments, the thirteen censors, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate...everything that can be said, everyone has been lobbied. Stepped over the threshold.

Not long after, rumors spread in the capital.It is said that the emperor intends to increase the internal funds and embezzles the treasury silver into the palace, resulting in the emptiness of the treasury and the failure to pay the clan salary.

"You have heard that the new emperor is greedy for money. When the first emperor was still alive, he was going around for money..."

"Isn't it? The Minister of the Household Department is the uncle of the new emperor. Isn't this money the left hand and the right hand? Who knows?"

"Didn't you say before that you're going to release 500 million yuan? In fact, it didn't come out at all, it just went around and entered the palace again!"

"Da Ming is really coming to an end, the little emperor is too confused..."

Such news spread wildly throughout the capital, but with the arrival of King Qin's younger brother, the eldest son of King Jin, and the second son of King Lu hand in hand, the matter reached a climax.

Inside Wenzhao Pavilion.

Zhu Cunshu, younger brother of King Qin, Zhu Shenxuan, son of King Jin, and Zhu Yipai, son of King Lu, lined up side by side, bowed and said: "My minister Zhu Cunshu (Zhu Shenxuan, Zhu Yipai) pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Xu sat on the soft bed, glanced at the three of them, raised his hand with a smile and said, "Let's all get flat, the whole family doesn't have to see each other."

The three of them didn't relax at all, they just got up a little bit, bowing down to listen to the hadith.

Zhu Xu looked at the three of them, smiled indifferently and said, "Have you met Uncle Ping Wang?"

The three raised their heads slightly, and looked at each other calmly, Zhu Shenxuan in the middle looked unmoved, raised his hand and said: "If you go back to the emperor, I have seen it."

Zhu Xu stood up and said in a harmless manner: "Well, I know the purpose of your visit. I have appointed the king of Xin, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Households will hurry up to raise money. It won't be long before the clan's salary will be paid out in full."

Zhu Shenxuan was in his early thirties, with yellow skin, regular facial features, slightly lowered head, but straight waist, with a capable and mature appearance.

He raised his head to look at Zhu Xu, and said: "Back to the emperor, the ministers didn't come here for the money, the emperor's new policy, and we came to Beijing to send congratulations."

Zhu Xu blinked, and said: "Well, I know, since I'm here, I'll stay in the capital for a few more days, and meet the emperor's wife later."

Zhu Shenxuan said: "Follow the order."

From the beginning to the end, Zhu Xu was very enthusiastic, and said like a family member, "Well, is there anything else?"

The two quietly glanced at Zhu Shenxuan who was in the middle again, Zhu Shenxuan showed hesitation, and said: "Your Majesty, my father knows that the imperial treasury is empty, so he wants to take the initiative to reduce the salary, and I hope the Emperor will approve it."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, and immediately said with unchanged expression: "Well, I know, I will let King Xin deal with it."

Zhu Shenxuan's eyes moved slightly, looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, there are more and more people in disorder recently, and Taiyuan is not stable. My father wants to increase the guards of the palace by three hundred, and I hope the emperor will allow it."

Zhu Xu said: "Well, I know, and I will issue an order to King Xin to act."

A smile flashed in Zhu Shenxuan's eyes, he raised his hand and bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
