The order in the palace was sent to Yangzhou through Du Niao, and after Liu Han received the order, he was in a relaxed mood and accepted Lu Qiao's invitation, which was the third time.

During this period, Wei Zhen and the other criminals have clearly explained the entire case, and all the Jiangnan magistrates and gate valve families involved are all clear.

This confession was also reported to the palace, but the decision of the palace had already come out, and his judgment was not made.

The way of being an official and the way of ruling is similar in ancient and modern times at home and abroad, and the same is true in this different world.

The overall situation is important, what is the overall situation, and the stability of the court is the overall situation.

What's more, with this sharp sword, hanging in the air in Yangzhou, Yangzhou's implementation of the new tax system will be invincible.

However, Liu Han can't afford to provoke the gate valve family and the royal family, but he doesn't plan to let go of those white-gloved merchants.

Just like the big brain guessed, if these merchants are defeated, there will be a vacuum in the entire Jiangnan shopping mall, and Hanhai Trading Company will be able to take the opportunity to develop greatly.

Not only Hanhai Trading Company, but also Zhen Niang's Salt and Sanyou Salt can seize the opportunity.

Jiangnan business community will be completely reshuffled!

When they arrived at the riverside, the Lu family's private painting boat was already waiting on the shore, and an old man in cloth was waiting on the shore.

In late spring and early summer, Cao Yun is busy, on the water, the sails are longing, and the ships going south and north are endless.

"Jinyangzhou, Yinshu Prefecture, 100,000 lower Yangzhou. Liu Han stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the busy river, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Liu is both civil and military, three articles that shook the emperor's capital, and his literary fame is all over the world, but Brother Liu went to Yangzhou, but he didn't see the poems come out, and Brother Liu can intentionally leave a masterpiece today?"

Liu Han turned around, but Lu Qiao came out of the cabin, walked slowly to his side, stood side by side with him, a few men untied the cable, and the painting boat slowly left the shore.

"Poetry is a small way, not enough," Liu Han said: "Today's Shilin likes soft, extravagant, impetuous words, empty and lacking, and is far from the meaning of the sage." ”

"People say that Brother Liu is a businessman, a martial artist, most of the poems are bought, I still believed in it, but today I listened to Brother Liu's words, I believe in Brother Liu's talent. ”

Lu Qiao's posture was extremely low, Liu Han was amused in his heart, but he didn't bother him, just smiled, and the two stood side by side on the side of the boat.

"Caoyun has started again, Lord Gu should come back. Lu Qiao asked.

Liu Han didn't answer, just looked at the boat, a neat boat went north, and the painting boat floated a small song, passing by the side.

"Brother Lu, it's over," there was another voice from behind, the two of them looked back, and two more people came out of the cabin, Zhang Ying in front and Yu Wen in the back.

Zhang Xing came over with a smile and stood next to Liu Han: "Today, why bother talking about those unhappy things, Lord Liu, you say yes." ”

Liu Han smiled and shook his head slightly: "Mr. Zhang's words are wrong, you have to drink openly and happily, if you have something in your heart, you will not drink this wine happily, and if you say something, you will be in a good mood and happy, and you will drink this wine happily! ”

As soon as he spoke, Liu Han quietly used two titles, not only Zhang Xing, Lu Qiao and Yu Wen all noticed, and the two quietly exchanged glances and understood each other.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Brother Liu is right," Zhang Ying didn't care, smiled and said, "However, today's banquet, let's talk while drinking, how about it?"

"yes, drink and talk. Yu Wen also agreed, and Lu Qiao grabbed Liu Han's hand very simply, Liu Han didn't move, smiled and said: "I think so, this scenery is elegant, it's better to be like this, let's be at the bow of this boat, just enjoy this beautiful scenery, how about it?"

Zhang Ying and Yu Wen were stunned, and Lu Qiao had already applauded: "Okay!

The banquet was quickly arranged, and Liu Han chatted with Lu Qiao very casually, with the wind and snow, and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

After the four of them sat down, the wine and food came up quickly, and after three rounds of wine, Lu Qiao resumed the topic:

"In the past two years, Yangzhou has been in turmoil, first the salt tax innovation, and then the implementation of the new tax system, the new tax system is not over, and the Wei Zhen case broke out, alas, some time ago, I went to Qingzhuguan to ask for a signature, hoping that the turmoil will subside as soon as possible. ”

"I heard that the sign of Qingzhuguan is quite smart," Liu Han pretended to take over and comforted him: "Those who go to the Western Regions business road know a sentence, no matter how big the wind and sand are, there will be a time to calm down." Lu Gong, you said yes. ”

Lu Qiao couldn't tell what Liu Han meant, of course the turmoil would pass, but the question was how big was this turmoil?

Zhang Ying made a gesture, the faint sound of the piano floated out of the stern, and the waterfowl chirped on the surface of the lake, which made people feel refreshed.

"Mr. Liu's high argument, no matter how big or small the wind and sand, will eventually subside," Zhang Xing said: "Mr. Liu, the imperial court treasury is empty, and we know very well, but the new tax system has a sense of exhaustion and fishing, and if the Jiangnan is messed up, the imperial court's treasury will be full?"

Liu Han laughed in his heart, this is the true portrayal of the dust in the past twenty years, and now he has a blue sarong, and he has seen three people some time ago, and the three of them didn't look at him at all, but now he is a gentleman, respectful and intimate.

He shook his head with a smile on his face: "Zhang Gong's words are wrong, Jiangnan has been in chaos, with the princes here, Jiangnan can't be chaotic." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and said in an accentuated tone: "The new tax system is a national policy set by the emperor himself, not only to be implemented in Jiangnan, but also to the world. ”

Starting from Lu Qiao, the two sides have been trying to fight, Zhang Xing has messed up Jiangnan, and secretly threatens not to support the imperial court, but Liu Han doesn't take it seriously at all, Jiangnan is part of the Great Jin Dynasty, you are in Jiangnan, your net worth and life are in Jiangnan.

Liu Han felt that these three people were a little unworthy of their name, these families were so boring, beating around the bush, saying something that seemed to be hidden, but was actually very pale and boring.

"Mr. Liu is right," Yu Wen nodded in agreement: "I am quite concerned about Wei Zhen's case, the transfer made the yamen almost swept away, but fortunately, Lord Sheng and Lord Ju worked together, so it did not affect Cao Yun." ”

Liu Han glanced at Yu Wen, Yu Wen didn't say much, but he gave people a real feeling, and he had a slight impression of this person.

But Liu Han didn't reply, just smiled at him and raised his glass to toast.

"Wei Zhen's case, I heard that it was an adult on trial, I don't know how the trial went?" Lu Qiao finally opened his mouth and asked directly.

"Alas. Liu Han sighed first: "This case is shocking, Tian Ningwei is bold, more than ten years, stealing and selling the treasury, the amount involved is as high as tens of millions of taels, and there are many criminals involved, to be honest, the more I am tried, the more frightened I become." ”

Liu Han couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke, and the three of them heard that their faces changed slightly, and they all heard the meaning.

Liu Han's eyes wandered back and forth on the three of them, laughing in his heart, and he was wondering whether to put some more pressure, Zhang Xing had already pretended to sigh: "Yes, this case shook the world, I heard that the imperial court has copied the Tian family, leaving only part of the clan property, alas, there is one less thousand-year-old family in this world." ”

"Feng Shui takes turns, thousand-year-old families, hehe, this thousand-year-old family, could there be these families?" Liu Han deliberately asked rhetorically.

This question is very tricky, the three of them were speechless, half a sound, Zhang Xing laughed dryly: "Hehe, what Mr. Liu said is very true, the so-called thousand-year-old family is just a rumor in the world, it seems to be very heavy, but it is not so serious." ”

Lu Qiao and Yu Wen didn't speak, and Liu Han nodded: "Think about it, since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, how many thousand years of families have been annihilated, but has the world collapsed? Is it chaotic? No, how many families are gone, is the world chaotic? Still not." ”

Liu Han sighed deeply: "The Western Regions Business Road, once you walk over, it is a huge profit, I have seen many people, full of pride, I feel that my cultivation is very high, those thieves on the business road, a knife past, it will disappear, but in the end, it has become a pile of white bones on the business road, in this world, no one is invincible, and there is no one who is missing." ”

These words were too naked, it was simply a direct slap in the face, Lu Qiao's face changed suddenly, staring directly at Liu Han, Zhang Xing's brows were twisted, only Yu Wen looked calm, and nodded with a smile.

During the banquet, there was silence, and the painting boat sailed quietly on the river, with lush greenery on both sides of the river, and the scenery was very beautiful.

The faint sound of the piano has never stopped, Liu Han heard that he had changed a few tunes, and now he is playing "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", the performer fully understands this piece, and the sound of the piano has far-reaching meaning.

Lu Qiao was a little annoyed, he wanted to warn Liu Han first, but he didn't think that Liu Han wouldn't eat this at all, and warned them in turn, but he didn't know what to do now, so he had to give Yu Wen a look and ask him to come out and turn around.

Yu Wenxian smiled: "Mr. Liu's words are not good, but it is the truth, my Yu family has been careful and trembling for thousands of years, so that they can maintain the ancestry, which is hard for outsiders to know." ”

Liu Han seemed to nod sympathetically: "Gong Yu said it well, to paraphrase a folk saying, I only saw others eating meat, but I didn't see others suffering." ”

"That's too right," Zhang Ying also echoed: "The family looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact, most of them are walking on thin ice, let's just say that this Wei Zhen case, I checked it at home, and a few of my children have had dealings with Wei Zhen, and I also asked Mr. Liu to show mercy when he arrived." ”

Finally got down to business, Liu Hanxin said, it's still this Zhang Xing stupid, those two guys are in the clouds and fog, and they are going around the bend with you.

"Is Zhang Gong talking about Zhang Di and Zhang Qiong?" Liu Han shook his head as he said: "The Zhang family is not just these two people involved, their amount is still relatively small, only seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. ”

Zhang Ying's face changed, Zhang Di and Zhang Qiong are not side children in the Zhang family, but direct children, not to mention, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

Lu Qiao and Yu Wen couldn't help but sweat, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes.

This bastard sold them all, and he said hello in advance, the nobles of the court and the central government will protect the Wei family and his children and grandchildren, but this guy still sold them all!

Is Wei Zhen too weak, or is this gentle-looking guy in front of him too powerful?
