Funing Hall

Before going to Yancheng County, Zhao Shiqi really planned to stay there for only one day. After explaining the situation to the Yan people, he always gave them time to react. Three days was just right.

Unexpectedly, he could not return to Chuzhou City at all the next day.

In just one night, the Yancheng Supervisor suddenly changed drastically.

The next morning, while he was sleeping, there was another knock on the bedroom door.

He woke up with a frown, and squinted his eyes to look out. Of course, the backyard of the county government office cannot be compared with his own home, let alone the palace. The curtains are very thin, and all the light from outside can see through into the bed.He stretched out his hand and was about to open the curtain, when Li Zhicheng's panicked voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. Eleven! Something is wrong! Something is wrong!"

Li Zhicheng was afraid of him, but knocked on his door like this, it must have been a big deal.

It's just that Zhao Shiqi has experienced a lot, except for Zhao Cong's matter, everything is nothing more than that in his eyes.Only the matter of Zhao Cong was a major issue. Li Zhicheng came to him, probably because of the matter of Yanji. This matter was related to Zhao Cong, so it was barely a major issue.He got up and put on his clothes quickly, and went to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Li Zhicheng knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty! It's not good! The salt people in the Yancheng prison have made trouble! They fought with the field officials! They have to rush out of the salt field. It’s hard to maintain! The transfer envoys are also rushing to Yancheng County! They must be angry when they see this, how can this be good, sir?!”

Zhao Shiqi squinted his eyes: "Did someone send someone to surround the salt field?"

Li Zhicheng choked up: "Someone just came to report outside, and the subordinate officials have not had time to send someone in the future."

"Trash!" Zhao Shiqi turned around and went in, put the knife under the pillow into his sleeve, and stuffed the letter into his front.He put on his cloak and hurried out, saying, "Within a quarter of an hour, all the guards in the Yancheng County Yamen will gather in front of the gate, and then send someone to transfer the guards from Chuzhou City."

"Yes!" Li Zhicheng hurried to make arrangements.

When Zhao Shiqi arrived at the gate of the yamen, Xiao Tang hurried over and said anxiously: "Young Lord! There are more tricks here than imagined!"

Zhao Shiqi sneered, no.In just one night, someone could instigate these salt people to riot.After rioting, how can they reform the salt register?This is to make them unable to do their jobs well, and to drive them away!

It is even more obvious that he wants to disobey the Holy Majesty.

Zhao Shiqi's sneer deepened, the local officials were no better than the Beijing officials, and they didn't know much about Zhao Cong, so they really thought that His Majesty was being fooled, and he dared to act like this for his own self-interest.He really wants to see what else they do!

After the guards assembled, they rushed to Yancheng Prison immediately.

The salt field is very big, Zhao Shiqi ordered the guards to surround it tightly, and when Zhao Shiqi wanted to go in, the inspector stopped him: "My lord! No way! There is a guy in the hands of the salt people inside!"

Zhao Shiqi glanced at him, pushed him away, and walked in directly.

There was indeed a lot of trouble inside, those honest salt people yesterday were being incited to be unreasonable now, their eyes were full of primitive anger.Shouting loudly "resolutely not to change the salt status", Zhao Shiqi picked someone and asked why.

The man was very emotional: "The change of salt registration is to drive us out of the salt field! It is to kill us!"

Zhao Shiqi finally understood how the unreasonableness Mu Fu said was how he experienced it. They were so excited when he explained it so clearly yesterday, but now they are like this.There were still people in the crowd instigating, who was pushing and shoving, and the crowd suddenly rushed towards Zhao Shiqi.Zhao Shiqi staggered without paying attention, Xiao Tang and Li Zhicheng were frightened, and rushed up to protect him.

Zhao Shiqi sneered, pushed them both away, and even pushed away the salt people in front of him with his backhand.

Someone else yelled: "He is from the official family! He doesn't know how miserable we are! They are with the officials. They don't give us the capital, but they ask us to produce so much salt every year. If we can't produce it, we will be fined! Beat us! Now we are not even allowed to stay in the saltworks! We are not even given a home! He won’t let us live! We won’t let him live!”

As soon as the words came out, many people responded, and even rushed towards him with the thing.

Li Zhicheng pulled Zhao Shiqi back to hide, and said bitterly: "My lord! These salt people are unreasonable! Let's go out first!" I want to be an official!Li Zhicheng felt very bitter.

Zhao Shiqi didn't believe this.

He threw Li Zhicheng away again, and took a step forward, just in time, a strong man with a very crazy face was about to hit him on the head with a long stick.He pulled out a short knife from his waist, without any hesitation, directly plunged into the man's belly.

After stabbing in, he pulled out the knife again.

Zhao Shiqi had killed countless people in his previous life, and he knew how to scare people with injuries, and how to keep them alive.He pierced it in a place that would not kill anyone at all, but when he pulled it out again, it was very horrifying, and the blood directly streaked across the air.

Red, very eye-catching.The smell of blood, blown by the sea breeze, immediately wafted away.

Immediately, no one dared to speak again.

The person who was pierced widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Shiqi in disbelief, but Zhao Shiqi didn't look at him, instead he took another step forward, and the Yan people who were still angry just now couldn't help but take a step back.

Behind Zhao Shiqi, the man had closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

The people are afraid of the officials, but the officials can't beat the people or kill the people openly, otherwise they will be held accountable.Everyone knows this truth, because this is a critical moment, and many people are watching, the salt people dare to make such a fuss, but the adult in front of him killed one without saying a word!

Li Zhicheng's legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and Xiao Tang was also a little stunned. In the early years, he had heard about the murder of this little man in the Hall of Precious Mercy, when he was only 11 years old.In fact, he didn't believe it, especially when he dealt with Zhao Shiqi these few days, he felt that Zhao Shiqi was very handsome. He didn't believe that Zhao Shiqi would kill someone at all.

Seeing him now, he was also a little shocked.

However, Zhao Shiqi took a few steps forward, and the salt people retreated again and again.

Zhao Shiqi laughed disdainfully, he had no intention of being an enemy of the people, and even the combined wish of his two lifetimes was the same as that of Zhao Cong, to make the people live better.But the group of people in front of them are extremely easy to be incited by others, and the only way to control violence with violence is.

In the bloody silence, Zhao Shiqi said coldly: "Since taking office, Your Majesty has been discussing with the officials several times in order to make the people of Yan people live better. After discussing for many years, he finally chose this place as the test site. Good thing. Yesterday I explained everything clearly to everyone, and you all heard clearly. Why did you behave like this in just one night?! Who is instigating the flames! I will definitely find out!"

After he finished speaking, he continued: "Your Majesty is an official family and a heavenly family. He only has the people in his heart, and all he does is for the people! On the day your Majesty was in power, he said: He wishes all the people to be safe! Such an official family, how do you treat those people?" Can you speak?!"

"..." Everyone was silent.

Zhao Shiqi stretched out his finger and pointed at the bleeding man lying on the ground behind him: "It's easy to be incited by others, do stupid things, and get stabbed with a knife, that's what you deserve! Since your majesty said to change your salt status, you have your own way out, but I haven't mentioned it yet. That's all. To make salt, you have to get the brine, test the brine, boil the brine, and expose it to the sun! You know this better than anyone else, and everything must be a gradual process. You can't even wait for a few days? You don't believe your majesty, don't you believe it? Lord of all peoples, do you believe in those nonsense words?!"

The salt people are very provocative, but they are also honest. When they heard Zhao Shiqi's words, they bowed their heads in guilt.

After Zhao Shiqi finished speaking, he remained silent for a while before saying: "You guys go to your home to discuss these few days. After three days, I will come to inform you of your majesty's remaining plans. This is also what your majesty ordered. Your majesty said that you will be given time to go to your own house to discuss. And I came here by His Majesty's order, not only to do salt work, His Majesty knows that you are having a hard time. This time we will definitely find out everything, give you an explanation, and give you better things Yancheng Supervisor."

At this time, the leaders had already thrown the guy, knelt down and cried, "My lord! The little people are so confused!"

The rest of the people threw the thing away one after another, and knelt down together, saying the same thing.

The chaotic scene just now was completely different in just a quarter of an hour.

Xiao Tang was silent.

Li Zhicheng really admired him so much that he couldn't get out of the salt field today, so he had to be beaten up by these fierce salt people!The salt people work all day, they are strong and black, and they look scary!There were few guards present, and the guards of Chuzhou City were still coming. He was so frightened to death that he almost knelt down along with him.

Fortunately, this little man turned the situation around quickly!

The salt people who were so fierce just now started to cry!

Hearing what Xiao Langjun said, he also wanted to cry!

At this time, Zhao Shiqi called the two guards behind him, pointed to the salt people on the ground and said: "Call a doctor to treat him, he didn't hurt the root, just bleed, he can't die, but teach him a lesson, buy it with stupid Lesson, not too much."

Having said that, what else is unclear to everyone?

The salt people knelt even more willingly.

Zhao Shiqi has no interest in this kind of worship. He won a battle in his previous life and faced the enemy's tens of thousands of corpses, that would be a joy.

He had to rush back to Chuzhou to deliver a letter to Zhao Cong.

What should be said has been said, he turned and left.

He was straightforward, and none of the others came back to their senses!

He had almost walked out of the salt field when Xiao Tang rushed up from behind and called him: "Young Lord!"

Zhao Shiqi didn't stop walking, he just said: "I have to go back to Chuzhou City, Lord Xiao, please do it yourself."

"Xiao Langjun! Xiao is puzzled, His Majesty has not given such orders! Besides, how do you know how to make sea salt? Don't be afraid of your jokes. I once went to Hezhong for a generation. Understand the specific method. How does Mr. Xiaolang know how to make this sea salt?" Xiao Tang was extremely impressed and curious.Zhao Shiqi is only 16 years old, why does he know so much.

The first thing Zhao Shiqi did after he ascended the throne in his previous life was to change the salt system. Before he ascended the throne, he had to exchange salt for supplies due to the constant war and shortage of border supplies.He personally went to the salt field to negotiate with the salt people, saw the salt people making salt with his own eyes, and he even knew how to test the brine.

He even took care of the transportation of salt, but how did he say these things?

It is precisely because he has made so many efforts in his previous life but was unable to achieve it, that he will be like this now.Not only for supporting Zhao Cong, but also for his unfulfilled ideal.

How would he tell Xiao Tang?

He walked to the gate of the salt field, found his horse, turned on his back, and smiled at Xiao Tang: "Lord Xiao, I spend a lot of time with Your Majesty in private, and I am his nephew, Your Majesty always guides me generously. Your Majesty's Expo Qunshu knows everything, so naturally I can too."

That makes sense.

Xiao Tang once again sighed with emotion: "I have been studying for nearly [-] years in vain. If your majesty can take the imperial examination, who else will be the number one scholar? All the number one scholars in the world will be ashamed?"

"How could Your Majesty take the imperial examination?"

"I was confused." Xiao Tang smiled shyly.

However, Zhao Shiqi really liked Xiao Tang very much. Xiao Tang is a person who has or has nothing.It is the real "knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing".And he can always discover the advantages of others, and he can always ask for advice with an open mind.Although such a person does not have great talent, after many years, he will eventually achieve great achievements.

He really wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Tang, but he had to go to Chuzhou.

If he didn't reply, he would not be able to deliver the letter today, and Zhao Cong would be one day late to receive it, so he would be worried.

He held the rein in his hand: "Master Xiao, the transfer envoy and others are coming, and there are still many things to deal with, I will take a step first, and you come too, at least rest in Chuzhou for a few days." Yang Yuan took Zhou Li's money , and also split up with the transfer envoy Lin Bai, this Lin Bai also has something to dig.It's just that Lin Bai is Du Yu's protégé, which is very interesting.

Who is really innocent, and who wants to fish in it.

He also had to go back to Chuzhou to send a message to Mu Fu. The two officials who were locked up could just be used. He didn't know what Mu Fu and the others found from Yang Yuan's house.And when he came, he had already brought Zhou Li's account books.He needs to settle these matters quickly so that he can return to Tokyo City earlier.

After thinking about it, he didn't say much, turned around and rode away.

Xiao Tang thought it was funny, Zhao Shiqi, who was so impatient when he came here, now knows to rest!

He turned around and walked into the salt field again. Mr. Xiao Lang was in the front line, so he had to close the field.
