When the boat landed on the shore, Zhang Ximiao couldn't wait to jump off the boat and hurriedly got into the carriage waiting at the dock. Huang Jinnian and Zhang Wendeng both changed into green shirts and civilian clothes, sat in the carriage, and waited for Zhang Ximiao to sit down, and couldn't wait to ask, "How are you talking?" ”

"This swineherd is too deceitful!" Zhang Ximian said angrily, "Gao Zongting is in collusion with him, and the rats are like-minded!" ”

Huang Jinnian and Zhang Wendeng saw that Zhang Ximiao was so angry, they couldn't wait to tear Lin Tie apart and swallow it, their hearts were dark, and they were secretly bitter, and the conversation collapsed?

Zhang Wendeng's face turned pale, and his chapped mouth twitched; Huang Jinnian was quite calm, and asked Zhang Ximiao in a suppressed voice: "The swineherd won't let you take a step?" ”

"Let it go, and the price of grain on the shore agrees to settle each stone of japonica rice with one tael or eight dollars of silver, but the grain settlement needs to be mortgaged by two Huai salt taxes. The matter of salt tax credit, the swineherd insisted that there was no possibility of regression...... "Zhang Ximiao took a long breath, said the conditions proposed by Lin Bin, and also looked at Huang Jinnian and Zhang Wendeng angrily, "The emperor's eyes are personally staring at the two Huai salt taxes, who dares to move lightly?" But this swineherd doesn't know what to do, and he dares to touch the mind of salt and silver! How can he have the sincerity to talk about it? ”

In addition to Huangzhuang's particle silver, Changlu and Lianghuai Yanli are the main sources of income for the internal government, and the household department can't control this piece of silver, and Zhang Xie has no right to ask - Huang Jinnian and Zhang Wendeng didn't expect Lin Jian to have anything to do with the grain and the two Huai salt and silver.

Zhang Wendeng subconsciously thought that Lin Jian simply wanted to pierce and stab things apart.

Huang Jinnian frowned and thought about it, and after a while, he said: "Or maybe Lin Jian wants to send grain directly from Chongzhou, so he wants to convert salt and silver into grain nearby, or he may take the opportunity to take the opportunity to send Zhang Yan to the army." Tang Haoxin died of hunger strike in Shandong, and Zhang Yan couldn't get out of it, so he couldn't help it...... I think that if I immediately send someone to Weiyang to see Zhang Yan, things may not have taken a turn for the better. ”

"It seems that this is the only way," Zhang Xilao swallowed his breath and said, "First send someone to Beijing for a trip, and then see if there is a need to send someone to see Zhang Yan...... "He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if the matter collapsed and Lin Jian immediately pinched the grain road to death, even if the saint decided to rebel against Chongzhou, but caused a great food shortage in Gyeonggi, the Zhang family still had the possibility of being pushed out as a scapegoat and calming the anger of the public; It is not ruled out that Lin Jian has the possibility of contacting Li Zhuo's "Qingjun side", Zhang Ximeng suddenly thought: It may not be a good thing for his father to let Li Zhuo participate in this matter.

Zhang Wendeng secretly felt a chill down his spine, thinking that Zhang Xie was the minister of power, and he could decide the fate of a county official between his hands and palms, but he pinched the neck of the little Jinghai Metropolitan Envoy and didn't dare to struggle.

****************

Gao Zongting did not stop at Jinhai.

Jizhou's military affairs are busy, Li Zhuo's health is not very good, he is not worried that these military affairs are pressed on Li Zhuo alone, the situation in the north of Jin is also changing day by day, people dare not be distracted, he knows that Jinhai will not be able to talk for a while, so he rushed to Jizhou by carriage at dusk, and it was late at night when he returned to the camp in Jizhou.

Li Zhuo hadn't rested yet, waiting for Gao Zongting to come back.

"How is Tsumi talking?"

"It's still there, Lin Tie is going to pull Zhang Yan in again this time," Gao Zongting touched the kettle to be warm, poured himself a bowl of hot water and drank it, and said, "Lin Tie intends to convert salt and silver into grain payments......

"The idea of moving salt silver?" Li Zhuo thought for a while before saying, "Zhang Xie and Zhang Yan want to agree to this condition, I'm afraid they have to think of an idea to fool the emperor." ”

"Zhang Xie is also a bully, and this time he kicked it on the iron plate," Gao Zongting said, "Lin Jian plans to organize a fleet to transport grain directly from Chongzhou to the north, and it is convenient to settle the grain with salt and silver nearby, so as to save a few circles to deal with the household......

"Lin Jian is very optimistic about the situation!" Li Zhuo let out a long sigh and said, "If it is just for the convenience of settlement, pulling the salt and iron envoys in, it is likely to make the situation uncontrollable, Lin Jian will not take this risk, he fundamentally no longer trusts the household department's ability to pay!" ”

Hearing Li Zhuo say this, Gao Zongting also fell into thought, he hadn't considered this aspect before, thinking about it like this, it meant a long time, and couldn't help but ask Li Zhuo: "If we can't talk this time, how will Li Shuai deal with it?" ”

"Do you think it's my turn to rebel against Chongzhou? I'm afraid that Zhang Xie is still worried that I will clear the king's side," Li Zhuo smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Zhang Xie thinks that he has seen through everyone, but there are some people that he can't see through, Lin Tie may change, but not when Tang Haoxin's bones are not cold." Lin Jian and Zhang Xie must have one of them to back down, as for the future...... I don't have to think about the future, so let's take care of the present. ”

***************

The entire Jinhai seemed to be plunged into an indescribable silence, and Sun Fengyi, Zhou Guangnan and others were both worried and excited.

They all chose to take an extremely difficult path with Lin Lian, once the talks collapsed, they would have to flee to Chongzhou with their families, and they might not be able to stand firm in Chongzhou, but for thousands of years, how many businessmen dared to dare to make conditions with the imperial court?

Merchants are heavy on profits, and it is a matter of course to regard silver and goods as both goods, but to make transactions with the imperial court, for the settlement of the matter of the procrastination of bankrupt people abound, the best ending is also to the officials of the bayonet to be stripped of flesh and blood, today only Jiyun Society is the head of the horse, hugging into a group to coerce the imperial court to settle the grain payment and take the salt tax mortgage, which is an unprecedented thing, which makes Sun Fengyi, Zhou Guangnan and others have an irrepressible excitement when they are worried.

In order to fight for this breath, even if it is worth fleeing to Chongzhou with his family! Zhou Guangnan secretly made up his mind in his heart, he also knew that once the forces of Gu Lin's family were expelled from Jinhai, the Zhou family would not be able to keep the family business in front of them at all.

Sun Fengyi and Zhou Guangnan landed on the island, only Sun Shangwang was on the island, and said: "My lord and Mrs. went to the outlying island to see the seabirds, saying that the birds at dusk are the most magnificent, I'm afraid that they won't come back until dark, or we will rush to the outlying island?" ”

"What are we going to do?" Sun Fengyi said, "Then wait here." ”

"My lord is confident," Zhou Guangnan said with emotion, "There has been no movement in the warehouse for three days, and our hearts are hanging in our throats, do you have a plan?" ”

"Afterthought?" Sun Shangwang looked at the open sea, the sun was setting in the west, and the blue ocean was sparkling with gold, and he said after a while, "My lord didn't say that there was any way to go back, but did Zhang Xie dare to drag it to the side of Qing Jun?" No movement is the biggest movement, there is no movement in Jingying, can they expect Jinhai Cangying to swallow us in one gulp? We acted according to the plan, that tomorrow at noon there would be no response, and all the grain ships weighing more than 500 stone would leave the harbor. Tonight, everyone can secretly strengthen their vigilance......"

After the sun fell into Wang Dengtai Mountain, Lin Liancai and Gu Junxun took a boat back to Jinwei Island, and when they saw Sun Fengyi and Zhou Guangnan waiting here for a long time, they said apologetically: "It's rude to keep you waiting for a long time......

"Adults will go to the outlying islands to watch birds with peace of mind, and we can wait here with peace of mind." Sun Fengyi said.

"Zhang Yan is a man of forbearance," Lin Yan said, "and he will definitely be able to endure the exchange of salt tax for grain." Zhang Yan and Zhang Xie have passed this level, how to fool the emperor is their business. Once they tried to convince the emperor to agree to pay for grain with salt and silver, it was that they had no way out! I'm coming to you to talk about tomorrow......"

"Li Bingbu can sit in the north, Yannan may be able to avoid last year's catastrophe, but in terms of the situation of the government, Zhang Xiezhi and his ilk can't tolerate Li Bingbu sitting in Jizhou, but half of the people have opened their mouths to say that they are willing to move to Chongzhou, and most of the people who have not expressed their stance are also worried about tomorrow...... The Sun family and the Zhou family are iron-hearted to go to Chongzhou with adults, except for the necessary manpower, those who can go, this trip. According to the instructions of the adults, we have been secretly looking for someone to dispose of the land property in the past few days, and the news should have reached Huang Jinnian's ears. ”

"Well, these things can't be rushed, and being in a hurry is also putting some pressure on Zhang Xie and them......" Lin Jian said.

A large number of Dingkou in Hejian Mansion were killed, taken captive or died in a foreign land, and the entire Hejian Mansion lost more than 300,000 Dingkou, and countless people were exterminated, leaving a large number of borderless land.

After the destruction of the basic bureaucratic system of the entire Hejian Prefecture, the government that had been temporarily established during the war was unable to collect these borderless lands as public land, and the vast majority of the borderless lands were naturally occupied by the remaining local households.

Lin Tie has always been the mentality that others are not as cheap as cheap their own people, and after the end of the Yannan War, they vigorously supported Sun, Zhou and other local clans close to the Lin family to seize the borderless land, at that time, the entire Yannan garrison was only the Jiangdong Left Army and the remnants of the Jinzhong Army, and the Sun, Zhou and other clans also insisted on staying behind to resist, and their local prestige rose sharply, and after the war, the largest land annexation trend in the history of Hejian Province was formed.

The Zhou clan alone occupies 120,000 acres of fertile land on both sides of the Whirlpool River, of which 40,000 acres of land are allocated to Lin Tie to settle and catch the people - before the year before last, Sun and Zhou were not considered big clans in Hejian Mansion, and after the Yannan War, Sun and Zhou both became the big wealthy families of Diguang Lianmo and Tianfu County Government.

It's just that the Sun, Zhou and other clans have risen too fast and their foundation is too shallow, Sun Fengyi, Zhou Guangnan and others know very well in their hearts that once they lose the support of Lin Tie, or once Lin Tie loses power, Sun, Zhou and other clans will become a feast for Zhang Xie's tigers and wolves.

When Lin Tie came to Jinhai, Sun Fengyi, Zhou Guangnan and others were panicked, as soon as Lin Tie came to Jinhai, he immediately raised the flag to rebel, and they also followed with an iron heart - they had few choices, could it be that if they ceded half of the land to Zhang Xie and Huang Jinnian, they would let go of the other half of the land and not take it?

Lin Lian came to Jinhai, in addition to raising the foot fee to test the imperial court, persuading the Sun, Zhou and other clans to dispose of the field industry and move to Chongzhou is another main purpose.

Everything is fine in Chongzhou, but the foundation is too late and too urgent, the foundation is really not deep, and there is a serious shortage of silver. At this time, it was very difficult for Lin Jian to barely maintain his current armament, and he had no spare energy to develop others.

Once the Sun, Zhou and other clans successively disposed of the fields in Hejian Province and moved to Chongzhou, a large amount of capital will inevitably flow to Chongzhou.

When the world can't see the power of capital, Lin Jian can't see it.
