Chapter 521: Brother-in-law's Revenge, Unexpected Gain

Shanxi coal bosses are far away for hundreds of years, and Shanxi ticket numbers have not yet stepped onto the stage of history, but today's Jin merchants have used the Ming Dynasty's salt law to embark on the road of getting rich and making a fortune. It's just that compared with the rich people in Jiangnan, the Jin merchants are much more stingy, but at the critical moment, they are also willing to spend a lot of money. But this spending is not used on themselves, but on the joints they want to open. So, the eldest son of the Marquis of Baoding endured it for two days, and finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"These people give gifts and give gifts, and this still doesn't let people go out? Last time, it was good, Wu Anhou sent troops to maintain that they didn't dare to come, but this time they directly blocked the way out with their faces salivating! ”

Meng Jun has always been a son-in-law who is so kind that he almost has no temper, but now in the face of the endless gift-giving tricks, he threw away the gentle mask early in the morning, and his temperament was very big: "Give a pig, and when you cut it open, you actually wrapped a box of gold in oiled paper; Send a box of shortbread, all filled with pearls; Send two girls...... That fucking girl turned out to be a man dressed as a woman! Third brother, can't you send someone out to warn these landlords and old money, whoever plays tricks again will get out! ”

Zhang Yue has seen a lot of the world in his life, but in the face of those gifts in the past two days, he only felt that the expression on his face had stiffened. About those Jin merchants also knew that committing crimes against the wind would cause trouble, and the gifts were all local products - in this sense, Datong mother-in-law is naturally a kind of "local products" - but these various fame halls are really unbearable, just like when he heard the four words of men disguised as women, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched twice.

"Brother-in-law, you don't know that the world has always believed that rudeness is not successful, and what I want to do now is not just to open the middle. At present, the Xuanfu has explicitly banned all caravans outside the mouth, but you should also know that the spy report obtained by the General Military Office clearly says that as soon as there is a major event in the Xuanfu, the Tartars will learn about it in a few days. It's easy for me to turn the other cheek on them, but it's troublesome for the other end. ”

Meng Jun just complained in his mouth, and when he heard Zhang Yue say this, he had to shake his head helplessly, and sat down with a sigh: "Anyway, I've figured it out, if I live with you, a famous guy, I will have to be unlucky." In the middle of the night, there were more people visiting, and during the day, someone blocked the door, and as soon as they left the General Military Mansion in the past two days, someone came up to talk, and even some colleagues mysteriously said that they wanted to introduce what good places to go...... I don't know what these people mean, but this Datong's mother-in-law is famous, but the court officials are guilty of prostitution. In ancient times, there was a woman dressed as a man and a woman to prevent heroes, but now it's good, she simply turns a man into a woman, and she is so disgusting that she can't say it! I've written back to ask your eldest sister to come over and spend the New Year with me, or I'll have to be driven crazy! ”

Just sighed with him, Zhang Yue heard such a sentence coldly, and hurriedly asked, "Is this okay?" ”

"What's wrong, Wu Anhou also sent someone back to Beijing to pick up his concubine Aunt Zhang, most of the soldiers in this Xuanfu are dependents in the local area, and it's not a big deal for us to pick up our family for the New Year!" Speaking of this, Meng Jun suddenly looked at Zhang Yue with a smile, and said thoughtfully, "But I can remind you that Wu Anhou took that concubine, although I said that it was your eldest sister, but the emperor knew, at most, he would scold me for being useless, you are different." Don't say that the emperor wants to scold your children for being heroic and short-breathed, and your father-in-law hasn't gotten rid of the big trouble, the one in your family has to let go of that one end if he takes care of it, can he come to Xuanfu with peace of mind? ”

Regarding Meng Jun's bad intentions of arousing his excitement and pouring a basin of cold water on him, Zhang Yue suddenly hated itchy, snorted angrily and went straight out of the house. At this time, Meng Jun stretched with a smile. Zhang Yue was so bad that he didn't even dare to go out except for the yamen on duty, how could he make up for it without a small revenge?

It is said that it is a long-term resentful woman...... He has become a long-standing and resentful man!

Because Xiao Wu went back, the vacated West Wing room was placed with a scribe sent by the General Military Mansion and a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, and all the gifts sent to the door were registered by the two of them together, plus there were Liansheng Lianhu brothers watching from the side, and a chain supervision mechanism was formed. And because Zheng Heng had already said that Zhang Yue didn't have to worry about other military affairs, and it was good to preside over the opening of the Central Committee wholeheartedly, so there was a lot of time to spend on these rich people.

After receiving a lot of stimulation from Meng Jun just now, when Zhang Yue stepped into the flower hall with his feet, his face naturally brought out a sense of gnashing of teeth, which made the middle-aged businessman sitting in it very vigilant. Niu Dang, who had changed into neat clothes, and Zhang Bu stood behind Zhang Yue according to Peng Shisan's teachings, and there were so many pro-soldiers.

"If I'm not mistaken, last time the Luo clan in Pingyao County had already eaten 3,000 yuan at the price of one stone and one bucket, so why fight with others this time? Moreover, after looking at the previous price, I am afraid that the participating merchants will raise the price by a large margin this time, and the Luo family will be able to make a lot of money in these three thousand salt leads, don't be too greedy. ”

"What the adults said is that Xiaomin is not greedy, he just wants to try his luck again, isn't the Fang family of Lu'an Mansion also ready to join the competition again?" The middle-aged businessman Luo Qian owed a smile on his face, and when he saw Zhang Yue frowning slightly when he heard the words Fang family, he suddenly had some numbers, and threw out a fierce medicine again, "Xiaomin knows that the Fang clan has been helpful to adults in the past, but the Fang clan is really nothing in the huge Shanxi. The small people who can do it can also do it, even if the small people can't, there are still a few merchants in Pingyao County who are willing to work for adults. ”

"I'm just going to open it now, nothing else." Zhang Yue directly waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said casually, "Whether it is the Fang clan or other Jin merchants, they all have the same charter system, and I will not be partial." Besides, Jin merchants are famous for their wealth all over the world, and I know that your way of doing business is not only this one, you don't need to drill my road, and you don't need to blindly grasp others to say things. There are many Jin merchants who have made a fortune, can't they live without salt? ”

This set of rhetoric Zhang Yue has used seven or eight perfunctory Jin merchants to visit in the past two days, those are all first-class human spirits, and there are very few words that can be used, so he didn't have much hope, but he hoped that with the clues that the crown couldn't help but recruit when he was tortured, he would take advantage of the fact that those merchants were relaxed to check through the Jinyi Guard. However, to his surprise, this middle-aged man's face stiffened when he heard this, and then he showed a look of panic.

"My lord's words really make the small people embarrassed, and the small people and their families are all used to do this salt business, which is not as good as those wealthy businessmen who have big deals outside the mouth!" After Luo Qian finished speaking, his face turned red, "The ancestor of the small people has been operating this salt business since the Hongwu period, and there are hundreds of hectares of fertile land near Xuanfu. If it weren't for the fact that the Tartars often disturbed the border, there would have been a surplus every year, so what the small people hated the most were those dog Tartars, and the ones who hated the most were those guys who secretly delivered goods outside the mouth! ”

Zhang Yue didn't care if this person was resentful because the Mongols had ruined the harvest of the fields, or because he was dissatisfied because he was jealous of the huge profits of foreign trade, he only knew that even if Fang Qing had given a detailed list of merchants who had business dealings outside the mouth, such a person who had been sent to the door must not be let go easily. As soon as his mind turned, he straightened his face.

"One of the charges against the crown being cut in half is to go to the private market, is there still a private market among the people?"

Luo Qian was envious and jealous of those rich peers on weekdays, but at this moment, seeing that Zhang Yue had a calm face, he was obviously moved, and a wave of evil fire suddenly came out of his heart, so he simply lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down, and swore with a heartfelt curse: "If the little one has half a lie, the discipline heaven will not be able to die with five thunders!" In addition, the Qin family of Lu'an Prefecture, the Li family of Pingyao County, the Lu family, the Gao family, the Wu family, and several other families have more or less shipped out of things, including tea bricks of unknown origin. ”

"So many?" Zhang Yue heard that there was even something that was not on Fang Qing's list, and he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and then scolded angrily, but finally showed a hesitant expression, "Ignoring the laws of the imperial court is indeed hateful, but now is the moment before the emperor's northern expedition, and the ......overall situation cannot be messed up for the time being."

"But the Wang family of Taiyuan Mansion not only sent tea bricks out of the mouth privately, but also colluded with the Tartars!"

After shouting such a sentence in his voice, Luo Qian knew that there was no way back at this time, so he could only continue to walk along this dangerous path. After all, the anger he had suppressed in his heart had been held back for too long, and now he couldn't block an exit. Secretly gritted his teeth, he turned his heart sideways, and simply tore away all the words.

"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the Tartars withdrew from the Central Plains, the Wang family of Taiyuan Mansion followed them into the desert. Later, the Han people who followed the Tartar Emperor came back one by one, but the one from the Wang family did not come back, and I heard that the official was still not small, and even married the noble daughter of the Tartar. Later, there was news that he was dead, but no one knew whether it was true or not. Not to mention anything else, every time the Tartar Taishi's mission comes back from the pilgrimage to Beijing, it will loot along the way, but the biggest loss of their royal family is that a village was burned, but the loss of each of our families is as little as thousands of guan, and as much as tens of thousands! ”

Luo Qian had already let go, and Zhang Yue had already thrown away his pretentious mask at this moment. It was an unexpected reward, but it was extremely exciting. Being a high-ranking official in the Yuan Dynasty and then retreating from the desert is not a reason to punish crimes and suspicions, and his cousin Zhang Yu, the prince of Rongguo, also has the same embarrassing past, but the last one is very suspicious.

"What other evidence is there? What I want is not possible, perhaps, empirical! ”

originally thought that Zhang Yue was just suspicious, but hearing such a serious tone, Luo Qian only felt that the fire in his heart burned even more, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said word by word: "Xiaomin still knows one thing, now there is a Tartar in the inn chartered by the Wang family!" ”
