Yu Tan sat in a courtyard in the Wuxing County Mansion, with a piece of paper spread out on the table in front of him, without a word, and the ink that had already been ground in the stone inkstone had a hidden tendency to dry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, the brush in his hand lifted and fell, and there was no lack of hesitation in his expression.

This morning, news came from Yuhang County that three subordinate officials he had sent to Yuhang to serve as city supervisors had been attacked by the rioters, killing two and wounding one, and the tribe had also been dispersed by the rioters.

When he heard the news, Yu Tan's whole person was stunned, and it took a while before his emotions gradually eased, and he was furious again.

Yan's, the dog's daring Yan's!

Yuhang is adjacent to Zhejiang, west of Qiantang, east of Jiaxing, waterways connect east and west, north and south are also thoroughfares, located in Zhejiang wharf of the boat market is the center of the Quartet turnover, the city supervisor is here, the annual income of hundreds of millions! It is not only an important financial source for the county government, but also an important channel for obtaining Taiwan capital.

The so-called Taiwanese capital refers to the money, silk, rice, and grain taxes that the state and county send to Gyeonggi, Taiwan, and Naewon, which are independent of the accounts of the county government. Nowadays, it is also an important criterion for measuring the performance of state and county officials.

Yu Tan looked at the accounts of the Yuhang City Supervisor in recent years, and it was simply shocking. Not only has revenue plummeted, but management has become a mess. Hundreds of lawsuits have accumulated for the unjustified seizure of goods and ships, causing the transit business travel in Yuhang to plummet, less than 23/10 in its heyday!

He is not a corrupt Confucian who does not care about the world, and he has been in real affairs, how can he not see the hidden secret.

The largest commodity in Yuhangzhou City is salt, which is transported to western Zhejiang, Jiangzhou and other places along the west of Zhejiang, and the largest producer of these sea salt is naturally the Jiaxing Yan family headed by Wucheng Yan. In the past, Wu Xing did not guard too much, and Yan Ping, as the county magistrate, naturally made arrangements in Zhoushi to escort his own salt transportation.

Although he had reached a consensus with the Shen family, Yu Tan also knew the strength of the local clans at the moment, and he did not intend to directly confront the Yan clan of the Wucheng clan.

But if it was something else, he could tolerate it. However, wealth is the most important thing in the first term of office, especially for a "bicycle" like him who only has the responsibility of a herdsman but does not have the title of overseer, if he can't even grasp the financial power, then what power does he have in office!

Therefore, after sorting out the affairs of the county government, even though he knew that it might anger the Yan family, he quickly sent three subordinate officials to Yuhang to take over Zhou City, one of whom was still a child of his Yu family.

But he still didn't imagine that the Yan clan would do things so sparingly! Although the world is not quiet, but Yuhang Sanwu is in the heart, how can there be so many chaotic people! And he even dared to openly attack and kill the subordinate officials of the county government!

"The thief of the Salt Owl Sect should be punished for his evil!"

Although he is over 60 years old, Yu Tan's temperament is still strong. The authority of the chief official was ignored, and one of the subordinate officials who was killed was still a servant he valued a lot, and this time he brought Wu Xing to let him experience everything, but he didn't expect to die here!

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

Even if Yu Tan wants to go to the imperial court, ask for the title of military governor, and send all the county soldiers! Isn't there a riot in Yuhang? Then kill the rebels!

However, when it came time to put pen to paper, he hesitated in his heart. Now he has no power in the court, and he can get the position of Taishou thanks to Shen Chong's recommendation. Originally, there was still some friendship with the Wang family, but after that, they became estranged from each other. If Wang learns that he is in dire straits, he may have to fall into the ground.

If he fails to ask for military supervision, he will be more exposed to his weakness, and he will have no prestige in office, and then I am afraid that not only the Yan family will become even worse, but I am afraid that other families will also follow suit.

It is already a difficult luck to get back up this time, and if something goes wrong again and is deposed, Yu Tan can imagine that he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life. It was a heavy blow to him.

Another thought that immediately came to mind was to ask the Shen family for help, although the Yan family was rebellious, but the Shen family was the head of the Jiangdong family, how could they be afraid of this district thief family!

As soon as this thought came to mind, Yu Tan suddenly realized that he still underestimated Shen Chong's scheming. I'm afraid that as early as when he wanted to recommend himself, Shen Chong had already expected that he would face such an embarrassing situation.

"Shen Shiju is talented, and his later show is no longer old!"

After realizing this problem, Yu Tan smiled bitterly. He really stepped into the quagmire, and if he wanted to stabilize the situation in Wuxing, he would inevitably rely on the Shen family. Although Shen Chong's governance of the Huiji also depends on the momentum of the Yu family, they seem to cooperate with each other, but they are still different.

Shen Chong supervised the military of several counties, and there was no famous martial arts sect, even if the families resisted, they did not dare to cross the line rashly. And he is just a bicycle, and there are many martial arts sects in Wuxing, and the situation he faces is much worse. Relatively speaking, it is natural to rely more on the Shen family, so more concessions must be made.

Yu Tan had already realized this problem, but he didn't expect the situation to be worse than he imagined. But even so, Shen Chong threw out this temptation, could he refuse?

After sitting for a long time, Yu Tan finally decided not to ask the Shen family for help. He has gone through the world, and he has encountered worse situations than this, and he has a strategy in his heart. If he asks the Shen family for help in case of trouble, he will really become a vassal of the Shen family, which he can't accept.

After having a plan in his heart, Yu Tan wrote several letters one after another, most of which had to be sent to Huiji, to explain to his family and several familiar families, so that they could better cooperate with Shen Chong. This is to prevent future accidents and facilitate Shen Chong's help.

At the same time, he also asked his family to gather some more soldiers from the Qu family and send them to Wuxing, also for his own safety. The ruthless methods of the Yan Clan's thieves made him realize that he was extremely insecure, and these rebellious martial arts sects could not be measured by common sense at all.

The last letter was sent to the Lu family of Wu County.

It is not a secret who is under the mad dog of the Yan family, in Wuzhong. is also a member of the Wu Sergeant clan, and the Lu family is naturally better at communicating with the Yan clan thieves. If the Lu family doesn't restrain the Yan family to restrain it, Yu Tan doesn't mind gambling on his own fame, and he will also make the Lu family restless!

After doing this, Yu Tan did not stop, but spread out another piece of paper and wrote: "The former Guan Zi ruled the ......"

When Guan Zhong governed the Qi State, whether he let the common people dry salt for a business, Yu Tan is not clear. But it doesn't matter, and no one in this world can say for sure. His family has passed down the scriptures, and the collection of books is the best in Wuzhong, and the pen is written, who can refute it!

Although Yu Tan intended to vigorously promote the method of drying salt, he also knew that it would not be easy for the small people to accept this novel technique, and he would encounter resistance from the old salt family. Therefore, it was originally planned that after the county's government affairs were put on track, they would communicate with the old salt families in Wuxing, and then promote it.

Those old salt masters are skilled in experience, labor, salt pans and even sales, although they have to face the new competition of salt families, but they already have advantages, and if they are prepared, they can also smoothly transition to the new salt drying method.

However, the Yan family's behavior broke his bottom line, and he decided to show no mercy and use this new salt method to gather the manpower of the county and completely defeat the Yan family!

After drying the ink, Yu Tan knew that once this "Treatise on Salt" was made public, there would be no room for change between him and the Yan family. But he didn't care, but thought carefully about how to amplify the effect.

Because of the relationship between the township discussion a few years ago, Yu Tan paid special attention to Shen Zhezi's deeds. This young man wrote "Jade Plate Fu" in Wu Jun Yaji, and he also read it. In addition to appreciating the juvenile literary talents, he is also very impressed by the means of creating a family business.

After a little muttering, Yu Tan decided to follow this example, Bi Qunxian, and announced the people of the time in public.

However, before that, he had to ventilate to the other Yan families in Wuxing first, so as to avoid pushing these people to the side of the Yan family.

Therefore, after putting away his masterpiece, Yu Tan instructed his servants: "Go and ask Shen Bei to come to me." ”

——————————————

On a winter afternoon, in a building in Yanfu, Yan Le was curling, and there was a woman's gentle moaning, mixed with rough gasping, like an old cow plowing the field.

At this moment, Yan An's slightly angry voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Big brother, something is wrong......

Yan Ping's face sank, his bloated body rolled down on the bed, grabbed a coat and wrapped his body, and then let Yan An enter the door.

Seeing the beautiful picture in the room, Yan Anxin swayed, and even remembered what was going on, and said in a hurried voice: "There is a ...... of death in Yuhang."

Hearing Yan An's story, Yan Ping's face changed suddenly: "How can it be so serious?" I'm not telling you to just blast people out of the city! ”

"I don't know ...... either"

Yan An said with a bitter face, planning is one thing, and there are always accidents when it is implemented. If the city supervisors of the county government are too insistent, with the temperament of their own children, what is the surprise of killing a few people.

"It's a bit of a dilemma."

Yan Ping groaned, he originally planned to contact Yutan to eradicate the Shen family first, so there was no shortage of concessions to Yutan, and he rarely even went to the county government recently, and he didn't want to face a conflict with Yutan. But he didn't expect this Yutan to become even worse, and he actually wanted to snatch back Yuhangzhou City from his hands, which was simply unbearable!

Yuhangzhou City is the Yan family's largest salt road sales, and I don't know how much profit it has brought to its own family in the past few years. As a result, as soon as this Yu Tanfu took office, he wanted to take the Yan family's biggest financial route, if he had to give in even this, how could the Yan family still have a foothold in Wuxing in the future!

Although he was anxious, Yan Ping also had reservations, because he learned from the Lu Mansion that Yu Tan was appointed as Wu Xing's Taishou, which seemed to have something to do with the Shen family. This made him smell a hint of conspiracy, so he didn't let people hurt the killer, but he didn't expect an accident.

"Big brother, I always feel that the Lu Mansion is deceiving my family. The Yu and Shen families are at odds with each other, and Wu Zhong knows it. Shen Shiju is by no means a stupid person, how can he be willing to hand over the Wuxing countryside to Yutan? Moreover, at the beginning of the year, Yu Tan was embarrassed by the Shen family's erection, and even resigned and returned to his hometown, how could such a grudge be resolved! ”

Hearing Yan An's words, Yan Ping also agreed, and said hatefully: "I have long had doubts in my heart, Lu Fu deceived me with false words, but it was just to confuse the current situation, to highlight his family's ability, and ask my family for more goods!" Hmph, in the final analysis, his family is no longer what it used to be, if there is no help from my family, how can he maintain his nobility! ”

"In this way, you go and invite Zhu Gong again to explore the Shen family's heart. There are other families who have also visited it, and if Yutan still doesn't know how to converge, let him know the true means of my family! ”
