Liu Han has only been to two blessed lands, the Qingxu Sect and the current Dongfu.

The aura in these two places is very sufficient, and the aura in that courtyard is only one-fifth at most compared to these two.

Yu Zhenzi arrived two days later than estimated, and in these two days, Liu Han went out once and asked Liu Huo to give Niu Fu an order to go to Changtang to reconnoitre, but Liu Han didn't fully believe the man in white, and asked Gu Heng to continue to release news and narrow down the scope of the escaped concubine to Hudong.

He didn't care about the Yantian auction, he just handed over his part of the silver to Gu Heng and handed it all over to Gu Heng to operate.

Yu Qingzi was very satisfied with this blessed land, and then praised Liu Han, and passed him a magic weapon, this magic weapon is a wooden hairpin, this wooden hairpin looks very ordinary, black and swarthy, and ordinary wooden hairpins are no different, but in fact, they are made of thousand-year-old kiln wood, which is obtained by Yu Qingzi when he traveled the world in his early years, in a senior military solution, and after hundreds of years of nourishment, now full of spiritual power.

It was not clear what the name of this wooden hairpin was, but Yu Qingzi gave it a name, called the Flying Skylark Hairpin.

The whole hairpin is carved into a lark, the hairpin body is slightly curved, the hairpin head is carved into a lark, the hairpin tail is thin, just like the tail feathers of a bird.

Yu Qingzi taught Liu Han how to use it, and asked him to think carefully about how to exert the power of this hairpin.

"To fully exert the power of this hairpin, your cultivation must reach the tenth level or above. Yu Qingzi looked at Liu Han's mood was very complicated, on the one hand, Liu Han's genius in cultivation, I hope that he can stay in the sect to cultivate, maybe in a few decades, there will be another master in the sect who has crossed that threshold;

But the environment here is still a little worse than that of the sect, and Yu Qingzi decided that this cave house will be temporarily lived in by Chunyangzi and Qingling.

"Master, I'm already in the process of buying this place, and after I buy it, we'll rebuild it. Liu Han hurriedly explained.

Yu Qingzi did not explain, Chunyangzi will take over the head of the Qingxu Sect in the future, so naturally he can't live here, and he must return to the sect to garrison.

After Yu Qingzi arrived, Chun Yangzi left with Qing Ling the next day, Yu Qingzi still didn't let Liu Han leave, he brought Liu Han a few bottles of Chalcedony Pill, this kind of pill is more advanced than the previous pill, according to the standards of the secular world, this is already the pill on the nine grades.

The Chalcedony Pill is extremely precious, and the two main medicine materials cannot be found outside the Qingxu Sect at all, only within the sect.

Yu Qingzi arranged a qi gathering array for Liu Han, and let Liu Han cultivate in the array, and the cultivation speed in this qi gathering array was forty percent faster than that of the ordinary, and after Liu Han practiced for a day, he felt that the true yuan was a little stronger again.

"You have to break through to the seventh floor in a month. "Yu Qingzi checked Liu Han's cultivation, and he was still quite satisfied, Liu Han already had six layers when he left the Qingxu Sect, and after this year, his six layers have been consummated, but the yang energy is too strong, which is related to the fact that he inhales too much fire attribute aura in the fire crystal.

But this is still not a problem, Yu Qingzi specially prepared a medicinal soup for him, this medicinal soup is made of dozens of precious herbs, these herbs are all yin attribute herbs, and the medicinal soup made is called Twelve Soul Soup, this medicine name makes Liu Han very puzzled.

Liu Han continued to cultivate in the cave, and Yu Qingzi rearranged the formation of the entire cave, and the defense and hiding of the cave became more tight.

Outside the cave, Yangzhou city is still very lively, the auction hosted by the Qin Cha Xingying was postponed for two days, and began to be carried out, the auction was carried out very fiercely, it can be called the most intense auction of Yangzhou salt industry, not only the merchants who tried to enter the salt industry from all over the country formed their own groups, the local merchants and Jianghu gangs in Yangzhou also hoped to intervene, the Cao Gang and Huaiyang Association participated, and the Yangzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce invested a huge amount of money.

Tax exemption for three years, and no new salt numbers will be approved for ten years, which has aroused everyone's appetite.

After Gu Heng heard that the new salt number would not be approved for another ten years, he felt that 50,000 taels of silver was still not safe, so he looked around for someone again, and finally found a grain merchant named Ma Yue, and scraped together another 30,000 taels of silver to join the competition with 80,000 taels of silver.

Gu Wei did it very smartly, he divided the 1,500 mu of salt pans into 10 acres, and a total of 150 shares were auctioned.

After more than ten rounds of fighting, Gu Heng finally auctioned ten acres for 70,000 taels of silver.

After the auction, Gu Wei and Ju Yi took stock of the auction proceeds, and received a total of nine million taels of silver, which made Ju Yi jump out of bed happily.

"Nine million!" Ju Yi rubbed his hands excitedly in simple underwear, with these nine million taels of silver, how could he give an account to the imperial court.

"Brother Zhongren, you have made a great contribution to the imperial court!" said with a blushing face.

Gu Wei was very calm and reminded: "My lord, are we not going to report to the imperial court." ”

"Okay, good! Report to the court immediately. Ju Yi was about to sit down, and then stopped: "Zhongren, the writing of the scholar in white is famous all over the world, and you still write it." ”

"Let's write it from an adult. Gu Wei said a few words, suddenly coughed a few times, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"I've had a little cold, it's fine. Gu Wei said, sighing: "I've tired you for this time." ”

After speaking, Ju Yi sat down and picked up the pen and quickly wrote the note, and Gu Wei left his name behind him.

"There is a problem, in the next three years, there will be no silver in Yangzhou's salt tax. ”

The sentence was slightly stunned, he thought that this problem had been solved, but he didn't think about it, Gu Wei mentioned it again.

Looking at the puzzled expression, Gu Wei explained: "This nine million is actually the salt tax for the next three years, so calculated, three million per year, I don't know if the emperor will be satisfied." ”

"Hasn't the emperor already agreed!" Ju Yu was very puzzled, and asked puzzledly, exempt from salt tax for three years, without the emperor's consent, the two of them would never dare.

"The emperor agreed, but," Gu Wei hesitated, his throat itched, he couldn't hold back anymore, coughed violently a few times, and hurriedly poured him a glass of water, Gu Wei drank a few sips of water and felt better.

"Although the emperor agreed, the problem is that, in my opinion, the emperor will definitely turn inward after solving the problem outside the world, and now what is the problem of our great promotion of the world? I think it is a financial problem, and at that time, today's events will be remembered, so, my lord, if we want to maintain it for a long time, we will have to spend some effort. ”

After Gu Wei finished speaking, he hurriedly drank a few more sips of water, poured himself another glass of water, took out a pill and took it, and his face was slightly better.

Ju Yu was stunned and thought for a long time before he hesitated and asked, "Brother Zhongren, what do you say you should do?"

"Two hands, on the one hand, impeach Sheng Huai and arrest some of these corrupt officials; on the other hand, rectify Yangzhou's iron, silk, cotton, grain and other taxes. ”

Gu Wei said and took out two copies of the note and put it in front of the sentence, and opened the note with hesitation, the first note was to impeach Sheng Huai, and the main charges were three, first, accepting bribes, second, expanding the position of the field without permission, third, conniving at his family to run rampant in Yangzhou, and fourth, obstructing the reform of Yangzhou's salt tax.

Evidence was attached to each count, and every piece of evidence was enough for Sheng Huai to be arrested and brought to Beijing.

"Zhongren," the sentence read the cold sweat of the vest, once this book is delivered, Yangzhou officialdom is bound to shake, and if it is serious, it can even cause changes in the court.

Ju Yi pondered in his heart: "This Sheng Huai has been serving as the assassin in Yangzhou for eight years, and the relationship with the Taishi is also very good, the court only gave him two million taels of silver, if he collects it all, it will also make a contribution to the court, impeach him at this time, Zhongren, think about it again." ”

Gu Wei seemed to expect him to say this, so he smiled and said lightly: "It's okay, with our nine million, the imperial court should be able to slow down, at least the war outside the fortress is enough, after this time, the imperial court should be able to breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Let's do it after the fighting outside Cyprus has subsided. The sentence still refuses to be named.

"My lord," Gu Wei patiently persuaded: "When the war outside Cyprus subsides, I estimate that the imperial court will make a big move, and at that time, the credit may not necessarily be ours." ”

Ju Yi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Gu Wei vigilantly, Gu Wei looked calm, and asked cautiously: "Zhongren, is there any news from the Taishi?" ”

Gu Wei shook his head, sighed and said: "I know, you may think that Sheng Huai and I are both Taishi's people, but in fact, alas, in the past two years, Taishi's behavior has been a little excessive, and people like Sheng Huai are also in the bag." ”

As he spoke, Gu Wei couldn't help shaking his head, regretting his disappointment and not hiding it.

Ju Yu's heart moved, and he couldn't help but guess, could it be that this Gu Wei wanted to get off the boat of Pan Lian, so he tentatively said: "Zhongren, I'm afraid that Taishi Pan also has something unspeakable. ”

Gu Wei shook his head and didn't answer, seeing this, he immediately took it back and picked up the notebook: "Don't want this book for the time being, Zhongren, for the sake of political leaders, I heard that this time when you return to the dynasty, you are going to enter the Shangshutai, you must be cautious at this time." ”

This sentence is really for Gu Wei's sake, during this time in Yangzhou, his connection with the imperial capital has not been broken, and the news of the imperial capital will soon be transmitted here.

Some time ago, it suddenly came out that the emperor planned to adjust Shangshutai and let Pengzhu Gu Wei and Yanping County King enter Shangshutai, these three people were responsible for the implementation of the emperor's new policy.

"It doesn't matter. Gu Wei shook his head and said: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has to refresh the politics and rectify the court situation. ”

With a wry smile, the old man said that the old man had done his best, if you kid wanted to break in, you kid would go there, and what could you end up with.

Seeing this, Gu Wei sighed softly, put away this book, and without saying a word, he picked up the second book, which was to rectify the taxes of Yangzhou silk satin and cotton.

Ju Yu looked at it very carefully, and occasionally closed his eyes, as if he was thinking in his heart, but in fact, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is really a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

This silk cloth and grain, as well as ironware, are so easy to straighten!!

This is to poke a hole in Yangzhou!!
