Thinking about it, understanding is understanding, but Feng Ziying also knows that she has to do it according to her own intentions, and some people are destined to act as a background cloth for history.

Sometimes you take the wrong first step and you never have a chance to turn back, even if you want to, but reality can't give you such a chance.

When Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Fu arrived in Yangzhou, they were baptized by Feng Ziying's cold and indifferent words before they had time to wake up in excitement and joy.

Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng were still silent, but Wu Fu couldn't help it.

He is a native of Nanzhili, although with his identity, he has not been able to contact these for the time being, but he still has a sense of crisis that hurts his skin.

"Ziying, why are you doing this?"

Wu Fu's face turned slightly pale, a young man who was less than twenty years old, just felt that he had entered the state, he was poured cold by a basin of cold water, and his gaze at Feng Ziying became a little incredulous.

"Yes." Feng Ziying did not evade, he could understand Wu Fu and even Lian Guo's panic, shock and incomprehension, and even some inexplicable fear.

If it were him, he would encounter this kind of thing as soon as he came, and he would be equally unacceptable.

"Because the court needs it, we don't have so much time to entangle with them again."

Feng Zi's tone has hardly changed, he needs to let his group of classmates quickly recover from panic, confusion and shock, at this time, there is no need for good words and persuasion, it is right for them to quickly accept the reality.

"But why?" Wu Fu couldn't help but be a little angry.

He found that Feng Ziying had changed too quickly, and almost in just one year, she had transformed into a ruthless and unscrupulous "bureaucrat" who only sought the end and the means.

Is this still the Feng Ziying who discussed the current affairs of the scriptures with himself in the academy and pointed out the country to promote words?

"Luyou, there must be a reason, and it is very sufficient, in fact, you are from Yangzhou, I remember that you are Xinghua, you should know very well how these salt merchants made a fortune, the monopoly privileges granted by the imperial court, no matter how ruthless they are, if they can unscrupulously win over the officials who buy the salt envoys and salt farms, it is not difficult to become rich, well, in the same way, it is not difficult for the government and the dragon forbidden lieutenant to find out about their deeds,......"

Feng Ziying's understatement made it even more difficult for Wu Fu to accept, and he couldn't help but ask: "Ziying, I understand what you mean, these salt merchants have problems,......

"Yes." Feng Ziying nodded.

"Then why are you targeting these guys?" Wu Fu was angry.

"Because of the attitude." Feng Ziying's anger turned cold, "How did they make a fortune in their own family, don't they know in their hearts?" In the past, the imperial court asked them to donate and lose, and they didn't have any complaints, but now it's the turn of the imperial court to need them to buy Kaihai bonds, so they will push back and go, yin and yang, and take care of him, Luyou, it's not that I didn't give them the opportunity to personally convene and preach, and then let people communicate with them individually, so that they can do their ,......."

"The attitude has turned positive, and I can understand that the people who support the imperial court, after all, are still the majority, which shows that they still have a loyal and patriotic heart, then this kind of salt merchant, of course, we must support and support, and for the kind of people with ill intentions and bad intentions, they themselves are not clean, and they have to sneer at others, if they are not punished, how can they serve the public? Where is the majesty of the imperial court? ”

Feng Ziying spread her hands, "Before you came, I gave them ten days, and there are always some people who think very highly of themselves and are not ashamed, and they feel that they have connections and backgrounds behind them, and even which officials in the court and the central government are looking for them, then I want to see who has such great ability and courage to fight against the great politics of the imperial court!" ”

"Besides, Brother Junyu, Mengzhang, Ke Xuan, Luyou, let's make it clear that this sea opening bond is a debt borrowed by the imperial court with sea tax as collateral, and it also makes an exception to allow the merchant who buys the bond to send personnel to the city to supervise the sea tax collection account. These salt merchants would rather hide the silver cellar in their own underground silver cellar and get moldy than lend it to the imperial court for emergencies, is this loyal and patriotic? The imperial court still has to pay them interest! ”

Feng Ziying's words were reasonable and reasonable, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, which also made Lian Guoshi and others speechless, and even Wu Fu sighed gloomily.

He is a native of Yangzhou, and his family conditions are not too bad, so he naturally understands the minds of merchants, nothing is reliable or untrustworthy, only silver and land are the most real.

If they want to lend the silver to the court, they will only think that the court is going to rob and extort, and it is not like donating at least an official body, it is almost the same as robbing Ming.

Even Lian Guoshi and Wu Fu are now gradually recognizing the imperial court's subscription model of open sea bonds, but they are still skeptical.

Nominally, it is collateralized by the sea tax, but how much can the sea tax be collected by the city, and can the recovered ones be used as redemption bonds? This is not up to the imperial court.

As for what oversight agreement to say, then just listen to it.

But you have to admit that at least the court has enough in the general righteousness, and you salt merchants will not be willing to give in, that is, you have bad intentions and disregard the grace of the monarch, and the imperial court wants to clean you up and stand on the general righteousness.

"Brother Junyu, the official sent a letter asking the younger brother to return to Beijing, mainly because of the Dongfan reclamation, and the affairs here are just laid out, so I'm afraid you have to worry more." Feng Ziying glanced at Wu Fu, who had a gloomy face, "This matter should be dominated by the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, Lu You will not come forward for the time being, Brother Jun Yu will preside, and Mengzhang and Ke Xuan will assist ,......."

After saying that, Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng were both excited and nervous and a little worried, even though the oldest in the middle was nearly thirty years old, but they had never really been in substantive contact with these affairs, and they were all at a loss.

"Ziying, Brother Fool has never been in contact with such things before with Mengzhang and Kexuan, and it is the first time to deal with Long Forbidden Lieutenant, to be honest, Brother Fool has no bottom in his heart, is this matter a second thought,......

Lian Guoshi glanced at Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng, who were inferior to himself, but in the end he didn't dare to take over the job.

I know that this kind of thing can best train people, which can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the problem is that this matter is too big and too heavy, and I really don't dare to accept it casually.

If you accidentally make a mess, it's a trivial matter to ruin your reputation, and if you make a mess and ask someone to clean up the mess, it's troublesome.

"Brother Jun Yu, don't worry too much, don't worry too much, the younger brother will not return to Beijing immediately, at least he must supervise this matter and move first, it is better for the junior brother to carry this notoriety,......" Feng Ziying can understand the worries of practicing state affairs, "The preparations on the side of the Long Forbidden Captain are almost ready, the Gao family, the Tan family, and the Gui family, they have to go down in one go, and when the general situation is settled, it is not too late for the younger brother to set off to return to Beijing, and the follow-up will be done by Brother Junyu and the others." ”

Lian Guoshi's body shook slightly, and he quickly shook his head: "Ziying, you misunderstood, the foolish brother is not afraid of taking responsibility and infamy, but he is really worried that he has no experience in this kind ,......of thing, and he will do it poorly, which will damage his reputation, if Ziying does not give up, the foolish brother wants to follow Ziying, so it is better to get familiar with it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Ziying, since we are here with a mission from the imperial court, and the official has also explicitly asked us to cooperate with you in handling affairs, how can we be willing to be left behind? As for offending people or reviling names, which official can avoid it? I remember you also said that not being envied is a mediocrity, and not being scolded is a mediocre official,......"

Fan Jingwen also answered unceremoniously, although He Fengsheng and Wu Fu were a little hesitant, but in the end they also attached to Lian Guoshi and Fan Jingwen's point of view, saying that they would never abolish the public for personal reasons, let alone be afraid of people's words.

"Oh?" Feng Ziying took a deep look at Lian Guoshi, and then at the other three.

He was a little moved by the attitude of practicing state affairs so clearly, but it was also expected, because after being in contact with state affairs for so many years, although this person has a calm personality and does not like to be in the limelight, he can still hold on to such major matters.

Fan Jingwen is a dry person, strong and impatient, and this is aimed at Jiangnan salt merchants, although there are also Shanxi merchants, but these Shanxi salt merchants are actually a member of the Jiangnan salt merchants, so there will not be too many taboos, and they were just worried that they would have no basis for the law.

He Fengsheng is a native of Huguang, and it is not easy to say such things, Wu Fu is a native of Yangzhou, such an inextricable relationship, even if he can't contact it now, I'm afraid he will climb up in the future, so Feng Ziying originally wanted to exclude it, but the attitude of the people is so firm, he really can't refuse.

"Brother Junyu, Mengzhang, Kexuan, Luyou, first say that it will not be chaotic, this kind of thing will inevitably offend many people, and even if we return to the dynasty in the future, we are afraid that we will suffer all kinds of attacks and impeachments, and there are many people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who have something to do with these people, you have to think clearly, the little brother is a dead pig anyway, he is not afraid of boiling water, this matter is handed over to me, and the emperor and the cabinet are also staring at the little brother, there is no way to retreat, you don't need to get involved,......"

"Ziying, needless to say, since the foolish brothers took the initiative to come to Jiangnan, they are mentally prepared, although the foolish brothers feel that some of your practices are still debatable, but since you have decided, then act is ,......" Lian Guoshi waved his hand to stop Feng Ziying's admonition.

"Okay, that's the case, the younger brother won't say much, these three families are going to move at the same time, Su Qianhu will come over to discuss in the afternoon, Brother Junyu and I are staring at the Gao family, Mengzhang is staring at the Tan family, Ke Xuan is staring at the Gui family, tonight, I will also contact the Yangzhou Mansion,......" Feng Ziying glanced at Wu Fu again, "As for Lu You's side, my idea is to wait until the later stage of disposal, and Ke Xuan and Lu You will coordinate with the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate that intervened later, well, it is estimated that the Nanjing Criminal Department will also intervene ,......"

How many people were shocked, so fast?

"In addition, I have to grieve Brother Junyu, from this time on, everyone in this courtyard, including me, is not allowed to enter or leave, nor is it allowed to contact the outside world, until after tonight, ,......"

At this time, Feng Ziying's familiar face seemed to suddenly become extremely unfamiliar in the eyes of Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen and others.
