"You have misunderstood, this time we met, this official wants to do a business with you. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"

Hearing the word "transaction", many Jin merchants couldn't help but feel refreshed out of their merchant instincts.

But more Jin merchants were a little more vigilant in their expressions.

The foundation of business lies in fairness, and how can there be any business between officials and businessmen? It's just a power-for-money deal, or a euphemism for blackmail.

Thinking of the latter possibility, many Jin merchants were already secretly thinking about how to deal with it. The Jin merchants were not only deeply rooted in Shanxi, but also had many spokesmen in the center of the imperial court, and although Zhao Junchen was deeply favored, if the demands were too much, the Jin merchants might not be afraid of Zhao Junchen.

Therefore, after glancing at each other, Guo Linxiang still stood up on behalf of the Jin merchants and asked, "I don't know what kind of business the adults are talking about?" If there is a place where we can wait, as long as we can, we will not refuse. ”

Zhao Junchen could naturally hear the vigilance and expectation between Guo Linxiang's words, and he didn't explain much, but he just took out a piece of music from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Qingyan beside him, and then said: "Now that I have a financial situation in the Ming Dynasty, you must have also understood it. The official was trusted by His Majesty, served as the head of the household, and was also in charge of the internal transport warehouse, the food of the monarch, the loyalty of the monarch, for this situation, has been quite worried, but day and night after thinking hard, finally came up with a way, these days has been written into a chapter, ready to present to His Majesty, but the official is still young, inexperienced, there is always a place that is not thoughtful, thinking that you know the most about this money and silver, I took the liberty to invite you, I want you to help the official staff. ”

While speaking, under Zhao Junchen's instructions, Xu Qingyan handed over the chapter to Guo Linxiang.

Looking at the piece in his hand, Guo Linxiang knew that this was the business in Zhao Junchen's mouth. So after a polite look, I opened the piece and looked at it carefully.

Then, in just a moment, Guo Linxiang's hands holding the music began to tremble slightly, his face flushed, and he was obviously extremely excited.

Seeing Guo Linxiang's expression, the other Jin merchants were both expectant and curious, not knowing what was written in Zhao Junchen's recital, which actually made Guo Linxiang, who has always been old and serious, so out of shape.

Seeing that all the Jin merchants were looking impatient, staring closely at the music in Guo Linxiang's hand, just worried about the rules, it was not good to move and look at it together, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be polite, just move and watch together, and give some advice to the official." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, after the Jin merchants confessed to Zhao Junchen, they walked quickly to Guo Linxiang's side and checked the music in Guo Linxiang's hand together.

Then, just like Guo Linxiang, seeing the content of that recital, all the Jin merchants couldn't help but get excited, and Zhao Junchen could even clearly hear the rapid breathing of the Jin merchants.

………

Zhao Junchen's recital is about the reform of Sichuan salt affairs.

Salt is not only a necessity for the people's life, but also the most profitable commodity in this era.

Whether it is Jin merchants, or Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, in fact, they all started by selling salt, when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang founded the "open system", that is, the merchants were responsible for transporting grain to the northwest, north, northeast and other border areas, and the imperial court handed them salt as compensation, merchants only have salt introduction, in order to take salt from the salt production area, and to the designated area for sale.

Under the implementation of the "open system", the Jin merchants closest to the border gates, as well as the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants located in the salt-producing areas, rose rapidly.

That is to say, at the very beginning, whether it was Jin merchants, Hui merchants, or Zhejiang merchants, they were actually salt merchants.

However, with the weakening of the control of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the merchant group in the Ming Dynasty, the "open middle system" gradually changed, and the salt merchants also divided into different models, that is, border merchants and domestic merchants, the border merchants were mainly Jin merchants, and they could get salt quotations by paying money, and the domestic merchants were mainly Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, who were responsible for guarding the salt works and taking salt.

As a result, in order to obtain salt, the Jin merchants provided a large amount of silver to the imperial court every year, and their relationship with the imperial court became closer and closer, and gradually developed into a bureaucratic merchant group, with various merchant privileges; Because the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants had the right to guard the salt works and take salt, they gradually began to sell illicit salt as the main means of profit, and became smuggling groups.

When the business strategies of the two major merchant groups diverged, their contradictions began to gradually appear, that is, the salt sales of the Jin merchants were suppressed by the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, and even if they had the salt quotations issued by the imperial court, they could not take much salt from the salt works. Although the Jin merchants avoided another way and began to develop the northwest transportation trade, the Sino-Russian border trade and the business of the silver ticket bank, the speed of making money was not much slower than that of the Hui merchants and the Zhejiang merchants, but seeing a large source of wealth in their hands, it was impossible to say that they were not unwilling.

It's just that the coastal salt field is in the hands of Zhejiang merchants and Hui merchants, and the strength of Zhejiang merchants and Hui merchants is not weaker than that of Jin merchants, so Jin merchants can't help it.

And now, Zhao Junchen's excerpt has pointed out another way for them, that is, Sichuan salt!!

According to Zhao Junchen's excerpt, now that private salt is rampant, the price of official salt is still high, and the people have bought private salt and abandoned official salt, and the government has repeatedly banned it.

The salt farms in Huizhejiang have been developed maturely, and if you want to increase the output of official salt, you can only start with Sichuan salt.

Sichuan Yanjing has always been an important place for salt production. However, today's Sichuan, but not yet the appearance of the country of abundance in the future, the mining of salt wells, not only the technology is backward, but also the investment is small, and there is the joint suppression of Huizhou merchants and Zhejiang merchants, so that Sichuan salt can only be sold to Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and western Hunan, coupled with traffic restrictions, so Sichuan salt is not valued by people in this era.

According to Zhao Junchen's plan in the fold, if you want to develop Sichuan salt, you must introduce technology and capital from other places. In the case of the shortage of money in the imperial court, the people who could provide such technology and capital in this era were none other than the Hui merchants, Zhejiang merchants and Jin merchants. Considering that the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants had already controlled the coastal salt works, then the Jin merchants were the first choice for the development of Sichuan salt wells.

………

How profitable is salt in this day and age? Even if the price of private salt is low, it has more than double the profit, and salt is a necessity of life, and the sales volume is huge, which is completely the most profitable business in this era.

Seeing the content of Zhao Junchen's fold, I thought that once the Jin Shang Group controlled the Sichuan salt, it would be able to get rid of the suppression of the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, and a large sum of money would be rolling in, how could the Jin merchants not be excited?

On the other side, seeing that the Jin merchants had already finished watching the recital, and they were all so excited that they forgot to speak, Zhao Junchen coughed lightly and asked slowly: "Everyone, in your opinion, what is the official's idea?" But what's not going to be there? ”

Zhao Junchen's words were like a drop of cold water falling into boiling oil, which woke up a group of Jin merchants and caused a huge movement.

"My lord, your idea is very good and thoughtful, I am far less knowledgeable than adults, where can I find anything that is not thoughtful?"

"The policy of the adult can really be said to benefit the country and the people, and the merit is in the future, I have often heard people say that the adult is a contemporary countryman, and now I finally believe it."

"Please also rest assured that Lord Qincha, such a plan, we and other Shanxi businessmen will definitely support it, and whoever dares to oppose it will be the collective enemy of our Jin merchants!"

The Jin merchants were no longer as reserved as they had just now, they were all excited, and their replies were also chaotic, but Zhao Junchen didn't say anything, just sat there with a smile and a smile, quietly listening to the flattery of the Jin merchants.

Seeing such a scene, as the head of the Jin merchants, Guo Linxiang, Chen Xinggong, and He Zeng glanced at each other, and coughed together, interrupting the words of the Jin merchants, and also calming them down a little.

For Zhao Junchen's recital, although Guo Linxiang, Chen Xinggong, and He Zeng were also very excited, they did not lose their minds, they all remembered that Zhao Junchen came here this time to do business, not to be a living Bodhisattva.

Although, many Jin merchants looked at Zhao Junchen at this time, as if they were looking at a living Bodhisattva.

After the Jin merchants finally quieted down, He Zeng glared at them and said in a solemn voice: "What is the system!" How can you be so noisy in front of adults? If you lose the rules, if you let people look down on you, it doesn't matter if you lose face, don't embarrass us Jin Shang. ”

Hearing He Zeng's reprimand, the Jin merchants realized that they had messed up and confessed one after another.

On the other side, Chen Xinggong bowed to Zhao Junchen and said, "Your Excellency's plan is excellent, and it is a great opportunity for us and other Jin merchants. Although we know very well that the original intention of the adults is only to serve the country, but we and the Jin merchants have received such benefits, if they do not repay the adults, they will not be happy in their hearts, so if you have any needs, please mention it to us, we have no reason to refuse. ”

Hearing Chen Xinggong's words, all the Jin merchants nodded yes.

In the business field, there is a loss before there is gain, and the Jin businessmen have always been deeply aware of this. Once they obtained the control of Sichuan Yanjing with the help of Zhao Junchen, then no matter what kind of reward they gave to Zhao Junchen, it would be worth it in the eyes of the Jin merchants.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the Jin merchants, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and said slowly: "The plans of this official are all for the emperor and the court, how can I ask you for a return because of this?" When you say this, you are looking down on your own officials. ”

Guo Linxiang looked resolute and said: "The adults are too worried, how dare we look down on the hearts of the adults for the country?" The loyalty and patriotism of adults are not only in our eyes, but even the people of the world are also in their eyes. ”

It was obviously a nonsense with his eyes open, but it attracted the response of a group of Jin merchants, and Guo Linxiang continued: "It's just that we have received such a great favor from the adults, if we don't repay, if we let others know in the future, and say that we and the Jin merchants don't repay the favor, then I can't argue, and I ask the adults to be more considerate." ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head with a smile and said: "The reform of Sichuan salt is still only the opinion of the official, not to mention that it has not been presented to His Majesty, even if it is presented to His Majesty, can His Majesty agree, or two, in this case, where does the official have favor for you?" ”

Guo Linxiang said with a smile: "My lord is humble, I know the importance of your position in your majesty's heart, my lord's mentions, where will your majesty not approve?" What's more, we and other Jin merchants also have some friends in the court, and they will definitely support the adults when the time comes. ”

Zhao Junchen sighed and said: "Even so, after this official came to Lu'an Mansion to inspect on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he had concerns about this matter. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, all the Jin merchants couldn't help but feel nervous, and Chen Xinggong hurriedly asked, "My lord, what are your concerns?" Why don't you tell us and others, and with the concerted efforts, there will always be a way to solve it. ”

After Zhao Junchen threw out the excerpt of the Sichuan salt restructuring, a group of Jin merchants thought very clearly, they will definitely fight for the control of Sichuan salt, and they will definitely attract the resistance of Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, under the confrontation between the two forces, Zhao Junchen's attitude is very important, he does not belong to any party, but he is quite favored in front of Emperor Deqing, and his words are very weighty, and his attitude determines the victory or defeat of this struggle.

Although the restructuring of Sichuan salt affairs was proposed by Zhao Junchen, if he repented and even turned to support the Huizhou and Zhejiang merchants, the Jin merchants had no choice but to watch a financial road cut off.

And this is also the reason why Zhao Junchen dared to reveal the plan for the restructuring of Sichuan salt affairs to the Jin merchants.

Therefore, for the Jin merchants, at this time, Zhao Junchen must not have any concerns, even if they have concerns, the Jin merchants must try their best to dispel Zhao Junchen's concerns.

On the other side, seeing that the Jin merchants expressed their position like this, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Everyone also knows that now the locust plague is not only rampant in Lu'an Mansion, but also begins to spread to the whole territory of Shanxi. There will inevitably be delays. In this case, it is better to hand over the matter of Sichuan salt affairs to other businessmen......"

Seeing that the Jin merchants were nervous, they wanted to speak, but Zhao Junchen continued: "It's a pity that this official has the intention to lead the people of Shanxi to exterminate locusts, but he has been questioned by many people in the government and people......."

Having said this, where do the Jin merchants still don't understand the truth, Guo Linxiang got up first and said: "My lord, you kill the locusts, it is for the good deeds of my Shanxi people, but unfortunately some people are pedantic, superstitious about the locust god, and they are against the adults, we also know these things, and we have been worried about this, but please rest assured, we people still have people to listen, and we will do our best to help the adults. ”

He Zeng nodded and agreed: "Even if there is resistance, adults don't have to worry, we will handle it for adults, and I will never worry about you!" ”

A group of Jin merchants also followed.

"It's the best." Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded, but frowned again, and said: "However, the concerns of this official are not only that, now because of the locusts, the people of Lu'an Mansion are also not harvested, and the imperial court has the heart to help, but the heart is more than enough and the strength is insufficient...... Hey, the chaos since ancient times has all originated from the homeless people......"

Before Zhao Junchen's words fell, Chen Xinggong had already gotten up and said: "Please rest assured, we still have a little surplus food in our hands, and now the locust plague in Lu'an Mansion is the time for us to give back to the people, and we will never let any people in Lu'an Mansion starve to death." ”

Guo Linxiang thought about it more carefully, and then said: "What's more, once the matter of Sichuan salt affairs is handed over to us and other Jin merchants in the future, Sichuan will also need a lot of manpower, and it is just right to be selected from the victims of Lu'an Mansion, so it is even more unlikely that Lu'an Mansion will have chaos." ”

Zhao Junchen smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Since this is the case, then the official has nothing to worry about, as soon as the official returns to the capital, he will present the chapter to His Majesty, but Sichuan salt affairs involve all aspects, and there will inevitably be opposition at that time, and you must also contact the officials close to you, the provincial official is weak and cannot succeed." ”

"This is inevitable, or adults can rest assured."

After hearing Zhao Junchen's promise, all the Jin merchants were overjoyed and responded in unison.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Junchen added: "However, then again, the reason why this official proposed the reform of Sichuan salt affairs is to increase some revenue for the imperial court, so in the future, when you mine salt wells in Sichuan, you must first ensure the tax revenue of the imperial court, otherwise you will inevitably attract tongue in the future." ”

Guo Linxiang promised: "Of course, we know that you are now in charge of the household department and in charge of the world's money and food, so you will definitely not be embarrassed." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, the official has nothing to say, by the way, in the past few days, the old squires from all over Lu'an Mansion have gathered at the prefect's yamen, and the official is preparing to meet with them to discuss the locust plague, are you interested in going with the official?" ”

The Jin merchants glanced at each other, knowing that Zhao Junchen wanted to use them to subdue those old squires, and now they were asking Zhao Junchen, so there was no reason not to agree, so they nodded yes one after another.

………

On the way to the prefect's yamen, Zhao Junchen sat in a sedan chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, Xu Qingyan followed the sedan chair on foot, and a group of Jin merchants also sat in a sedan chair and followed behind.

It didn't take long for Zhao Junchen to hear Xu Qingyan complaining outside the sedan chair: "Young master, how profitable is the sale of salt, why did you hand it over to those Shanxi businessmen for no reason?" ”

Obviously, Xu Qingyan has endured such complaints for a long time, for Xu Qingyan, how can there be a reason to give a profitable business to others?

Zhao Junchen shook his head and smiled: "You, you have calculated too carefully, if Sichuan well salt wants to be truly developed, it needs a lot of silver, sufficient mining technology, and even rich connections, we are not well prepared, not to mention that the Sichuan Tiangao Emperor is far away, and we don't have time to take care of it, in this case, it is better to hand it over to those Shanxi merchants." ”

Xu Qingyan said with obvious pain in his voice: "But it's too cheap for them." ”

Zhao Junchen said: "We have to take a long-term view, we have gained a lot this time, and even can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone, not only the disaster relief in Lu'an Mansion will no longer have resistance, we can also earn a good reputation because of this, more importantly, I now have the heart to recruit a group of friends and allies in the center of the court and in the local network, those businessmen have money and food in their hands, and they help with disaster relief, officials from top to bottom of Lu'an Mansion, in addition to disaster relief, can get a lot of benefits, and will attribute these benefits to our heads, and wait for the end of the locust plague, Please take the credit, they will be in the same boat as us in the future. And after making friends with these Jin merchants, those officials in the court who are good friends with the Jin merchants will also become our allies, so that we will not be weak in the court in the future. ”

Xu Qingyan said: "However, if you do this, won't you offend those Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants?" ”

Zhao Junchen said indifferently: "If you make friends with one group of people, you will inevitably offend another group of people, it depends on how you choose, not to mention, I have my own means to reconcile with them in the future." ”

Xu Qingyan naturally believed in Zhao Junchen's words, and only felt that after Zhao Junchen was hit by a stone, it seemed that his methods were more spicy and slick.

It's just that the unprofitable temperament still makes Xu Qingyan a little uncomfortable with what Zhao Junchen has done these days, and said softly: "But in the final analysis, everything we earned this time is nothing, and we haven't gained any actual benefits, so we are busy working in vain." ”

Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "Don't just stare at the silver, sometimes, some virtual things are much more useful than real things, not to mention, this trip to Lu'an Mansion, we may not be able to get practical benefits." ”

Xu Qingyan hurriedly asked, "How to fish?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled: "You'll know in a while." ”

……

In fact, the reason why Zhao Junchen planned to hand over Sichuan Yanjing to Jinshang for development was not only for disaster relief and disaster relief, but also for the establishment of a relationship with Jinshang Group, there were deeper considerations.

For the businessmen of this era, whether it is Jin merchants or Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, Zhao Junchen has both a good impression and a very dislike.

The favor is because the businessmen of this era have active thinking and long-term vision, and consciously began to cultivate their own spokesmen in the imperial court, and even praised their spokesmen as the first assistant of the cabinet, such as Zhang Juzheng, such as Zhang Siwei. In Zhao Junchen's view, this is not a manifestation of the awakening of bourgeois ideology, and if it were not for the short time left for them, the Ming Dynasty may not have been able to evolve from a feudal dynasty to a more advanced social system.

But compared to the good feelings, in fact, Zhao Junchen doesn't like them more.

Zhao Junchen knew that the Ming Dynasty was in some ways brought down by these merchants. They smuggled and evaded taxes, so that the Ming Dynasty could not spend money for a long time; Their interference in the policies of the imperial court even made Emperor Chongzhen sigh that "being an official is like a business"; Moreover, under the influence of these merchants, the internal friction in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was extremely strict, and above the court, officials fought with officials, emperors and officials, and most of them stood behind major merchant groups.

The most important thing is that these merchant groups never seem to have a sense of national consciousness in their eyes, not to mention the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, the reason why the Ming Dynasty Japanese and pirates were repeatedly banned was because of the support behind the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, many anti-Japanese heroes, under the operation of the Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, were imprisoned on trumped-up charges, and many patriotic court officials who were still loyal to the monarch even had to commit suicide in protest, such as the famous anti-Japanese heroes - Zhu Kun, the governor of Zhejiang.

When the Ming Dynasty cut off the mutual market with the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Jianzhou Jurchens lacked iron and grain, and would have been dragged down by the Ming Dynasty.

And the reason why Zhao Junchen handed over Sichuan Yanjing to the Jin merchants was also because he wanted to divert their attention.

If the attention of the Jin merchants is directed to Sichuan Salt, maybe they will not be able to look down on the profits from smuggling with the Jianzhou Jurchens, after all, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is not good now, and the current Khan of the Jianzhou Jurchens still loves Xinjueluo. Xuan Ye, this kind of precautionary thing, if Zhao Junchen has the opportunity, he still has to do it.

"Merchants of this era, Jin merchants started because of privileges, and Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants made profits because of smuggling, they are not serious businessmen, and after making profits, they never thought about capital accumulation, but built houses and bought land, which was used to squander ...... It's a shame that in later generations, there are still people who regard them as representatives of merchants in the Ming and Qing dynasties......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but shake his head.

Unconsciously, Zhao Junchen already had the idea of transforming the businessman of this era in his heart.

Just as Zhao Junchen was thinking secretly, Xu Qingyan reported: "Young master, then Guo Linxiang asks to see." ”

Zhao Junchen had already guessed Guo Linxiang's purpose, and said casually: "Well, let him come." ”

It didn't take long for Guo Linxiang to come to Zhao Junchen's sedan chair quickly, and followed the sedan chair step by step.

Zhao Junchen lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and asked with a smile: "What is the matter with Boss Guo looking for this official?" ”

Guo Linxiang replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, I discussed with others just now, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, and in order to increase the mining of Sichuan salt, we decided to establish a salt store in the form of financing, called Kyushu Salt Company. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said, "Kyushu Salt Shop, a good name, is not small." ”

Guo Linxiang said with a smile: "That's not because of your care, in order to repay the adult, after I discussed it, I decided to give half of the dry shares of Kyushu Salt Bank to the adult, and please don't shirk it." ”

Zhao Junchen hesitated: "Half Cheng? Too much, right? ”

It's not that Zhao Junchen shirked, there are indeed a lot of Bancheng dry shares, after all, it is not an ordinary salt shop, but a group of Jin businessmen working together, and will control the salt production of the entire Sichuan in the future.

Guo Linxiang shook his head and said: "It's only half a percent, where is it, it's what you deserve." ”

As he spoke, Guo Linxiang took out a roll of silver tickets from his sleeve, handed it to Xu Qingyan on the side under the gaze of Zhao Junchen, and said: "This is also a small intention of Shanxi businessmen such as me, and please accept it with a smile." ”

Saying that, without waiting for Zhao Junchen to speak, Guo Linxiang bowed and left.

Xu Qingyan glanced at the silver ticket in his hand, flicked it lightly with his hand, and then said in an excited and affirmative tone: "Young master, it's another hundred thousand taels of silver!" ”

Zhao Junchen closed the curtain and sat in the sedan chair, not looking too excited, but said softly: "What did I say just now, how can we not be good this time......

"Young Master Wise!!"

………

When Zhao Junchen came to the prefect's yamen with a group of Jin merchants, a group of old squires had been waiting for a long time.

Not only them, but the more famous witches and monks in Lu'an Mansion, under the leadership of Zhang Daoquan, came to the Yamen almost at the same time, waiting to meet Zhao Junchen.

As for the rumors that Zhao Junchen intended to preside over the culling of locusts in Lu'an Mansion, these old squires had heard of it, and in their hearts, they did not approve of it, not only because they were afraid of the revenge of the locust god, but also because it would harm their interests, after all, after the locust plague, the victims would be displaced, and their land would be expanded.

However, I thought that Zhang Daoquan and others were their supporters, but I didn't expect that after probing the news, I found that all the people of all sects in Lu'an Mansion actually supported Zhao Junchen's measures to kill locusts, including the host of the Locust Temple!!

The old squires intended to find familiar officials to dredge, but they were told that as early as a few days ago, all the officials of Lu'an Mansion who dared to oppose the extermination of locusts were dismissed from their posts!!

At this time, the old squires already felt that the general trend was difficult to disobey.

When Zhao Junchen summoned them, they saw a group of Jin merchants who looked respectful to Zhao Junchen, and the old squires were desperate to find that their last backers were unreliable.

On the other side, after seeing these old squires in the hall of the prefect's yamen, Zhao Junchen was not polite, but asked directly: "This official wants to exterminate the locusts, who of you is against it?" ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Liu Changan, who had been waiting for a long time, took the lead and said: "The act of the adults is dedicated to the country and the people, and there is no harm in all benefits, and the lower officials absolutely agree!" ”

When the words fell, all the officials responded to the peace.

Zhang Daoquan also said on behalf of a group of religious figures: "It is a good deed for adults to kill locusts, which can save countless people, and we and other people of the five religions resolutely support adults!" ”

After Zhang Daoquan finished speaking, a group of monks, Taoists, witches, and gods also claimed to be.

Guo Linxiang also said: "The adult's move is really the blessing of my Shanxi, and I wait for the people of Shanxi to benefit, where is the reason to disapprove?" ”

A group of Jin merchants also responded to the peace.

Then, Zhao Junchen turned his gaze to those squires and elders.

The squires and elders looked at each other, only feeling that they were embattled and the general trend was difficult to disobey, and in the end, no one dared to say anything against it, and it was also the case that Lin Lin fell.

If Zhao Junchen used a strategy of inducement in order to obtain the support of the Jin merchants, then for these squires and elders, he used the method of coercion.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhao Junchen laughed, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "In this case, from tomorrow, the government will take the lead, and the Lu'an Mansion will work together to extinguish the locust plague!" Tomorrow's sacrifice to the sky, this official will personally preside! The official knows that some of you are worried about the revenge of the locust god, and the official will pray to the gods of heaven and earth tomorrow, if the heavens want to punish him, the official is willing to bear it on his shoulders and never pass the buck to others!! ”
