Chapter 283

After hearing what Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng said, Zhang Hao was also sitting there annoyed, so he looked at them and asked, "Who is in charge of this matter now?"

"It's Li Qiu, the Minister of the Cabinet and the Left Minister of Personnel!" Hu Zongxian said to Zhang Hao.

"Go to their uncle, let me play with it? Ah, let them go down to investigate, and they still find connections to stuff them in?" Zhang Hao sat there and cursed, and all three of them looked at Zhang Hao.

"You two must serve as the leader of the investigation team!" Zhang Hao pointed at Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng and said.

"This, sir, probably not. One is that our level is not enough, and the other is that if we go down to investigate, we will probably not know if we are killed. If the level is not enough, they really dare to kill people!" Hu Zongxian looked at Zhang Hao worriedly and said helplessly.

"Just try it!" Zhang Hao said with a sneer, then asked to the two of them, "Or, you can go with me to investigate the matter of salt iron tea, how about it?"

"Salt and Iron Tea?" The two of them looked at Zhang Hao in surprise. Is the emperor going to start investigating this?

"That's right, I'll give you power or not. Just go and clean up those people. Salt and iron tea must be collected. You two can be responsible for this. How about it?" Zhang Hao asked as they looked at them.

"This, our post has been arranged by the inspection team now. Now that we are transferred, can we do it?" Hu Zongxian looked at Zhang Hao hesitantly and said.

"Depending on your own meaning, what can you do to mobilize? Who do you want to fool with such an inspection team? What can you find out?" Zhang Hao sneered and said.

"That's right, but it's not good. Of course, sir, we want to follow you, at least follow you safely. If we want to come out, we still need your help!" Hu Zongxian immediately said to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Ju nodded beside him.

"That's fine. If you don't go to that inspection team, what's the point!" Zhang Hao waved his hand and went to investigate below, probably to find the scapegoat. By then, no one of the real corrupt officials would be able to catch them.

Zhang Hao sat here and had tea with them for about half an hour. Zhang Hao asked them to go back. After thinking about it, he went to the cabinet. When he arrived at the cabinet, Yan Song and the others were stunned when they saw Zhang Hao coming, and they were confused, "What's the matter in the cabinet that offended this ghost man?" Why did they come to the cabinet?

"Harle Lu An, what wind has blown you?" Lu Ben said as he came out from behind the desk and said enthusiastically to Zhang Hao.

"It's okay, I just came here and wanted to come and see the three adults!" Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Come on, please sit down, please sit down!" Yan Song also said enthusiastically, and Xu Jie also came out from behind the desk.

"But is something?" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Yes, I'm worried. The emperor gave me an errand. What should you do if you say I should do?" Zhang Hao said to them three.

"Order? What errand?" The three of them looked at each other and felt bad. It was not a good thing to let Zhang Hao do errands.

"Salt and iron tea!" Zhang Hao said three words, and Lu Ben also poured tea for Zhang Hao.

"What?" The three of them looked at Zhang Hao in shock.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Zhang Hao asked at the three of them in discomfort.

"No, Lu Anhou, salt and iron tea, you are talking about it in general, how about it specific?" Yan Song said, and sat down and looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"This time, the Wu family in Shanxi smuggled salt and pig iron, which made the emperor very dissatisfied and prepared to thoroughly investigate the salt and iron tea matters throughout the Ming Dynasty, so the salt and iron tea set up a separate regulatory department,

Of course, the money will be given to the Ministry of Revenue in the future, but it will be calculated independently. At the same time, the regulations will be issued, so it cannot be as chaotic as before. This time, the Wu family reminded the emperor that the emperor was going to focus on this matter personally and let me do it?

What do you think I should do? I can kill people, but I can't do it, so come and listen to the words of the parents. If you agree, then everything is easy to say. I will start to rectify from top to bottom. If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. I will start to kill from top to bottom!" Zhang Hao held the teacup handed over by Lu Ben and asked at them.

"This!" When the three of them heard this, they were depressed. Isn't this here to warn them? If they agree, then there will not be so many people. If they disagree, then they don't know how many people will die.

"This, Mr. Lu An, you are also a minister of the court now. I won't say what I mean for now. Don't get me wrong. I have no objection. However, this matter doesn't work in terms of rules!" Yan Song said to Zhang Hao very cautiously. He didn't dare to say that he didn't agree, so he said that it didn't make sense according to rules.

"Why doesn't it work? This money is still from the Ministry of Revenue, it's just a separate calculation!" Zhang Hao looked at Yan Song and asked back.

"This, what should the people in the Ministry of Revenue who supervises salt and iron tea now do?" Xu Jie also looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I'll review it. If it's a good official, keep it and continue to manage this matter. If it's a corrupt official, well, depending on the situation, if I feel good, I'll give it to the Ministry of Justice!" Zhang Hao looked at the three of them and asked. The three of them exchanged their eyes and sighed in their hearts. Zhang Hao was about to start attacking Yan Tiecha again.

"I'm talking about you three, what's going on? What's going on with the inspection team? You've done this? Ah, now everyone is stuffing people inside, and then I'll get some scapegoats to fool His Majesty?

You don’t know if your Majesty is yourselves? If you are a cabinet minister like this, you will not be afraid that history will judge you at that time. Also, you are already the most powerful ministers, so you cannot do some good things for the people and for the Ming Dynasty. Do you know how many corrupt officials are there? Just let them continue to spread, so how can this be done?" Zhang Hao looked at the three of them and continued to ask.

"No, mainly because we don't have so many people to mobilize now. You killed so many ministers before, so we have to consider drawing people now, but we didn't put people in. I don't believe you ask your father-in-law!" Yan Song immediately denied.

"Ask my father-in-law, he is like you!" Zhang Hao said contemptuously. Xu Jie was so depressed. Why was he the same as Yan Song? He was not greedy for so much, unlike Yan Song, who was thinking about all the money.

"Well, Lu Anhou, I am still a little worried about the salt and iron tea. After all, it involves the whole country. If it is not done well, the people will not eat salt. If there is no salt, the people will have breakfast!" Lu Ben sat there, touching his beard, and looking at Zhang Hao and said.

"No salt?" Zhang Hao asked looking at Lu Ben.

"No? Zhang Hao, you have to know that if you start to act, those salt merchants will stock up on salt. Then the people will not eat salt. The iron is nothing, but there will be chaos in those iron shops. This year's new tea has not started yet, and there will be chaos in the time being. Lu Anhou, please persuade the emperor, you can't be too hasty!" Yan Song also persuaded Zhang Hao.

"Oh, this way, if they are affected, they will start to fight back, right?" Zhang Hao looked at the three of them and asked. They were not easy to say, but they were worried that once Zhang Hao really went to manage the matter of salt iron tea, local officials would not know how many people would be unlucky.

Many officials rely on here to make money. Although they cannot handle the salt and iron tea, those merchants will give them gifts, allowing them to open the door to convenience. Therefore, now they can only let Zhang Hao know that if something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility?

"Zhang Hao, you really have to be cautious in this matter and persuade the emperor!" Xu Jie said to Zhang Hao. He was named by his name, after all, Zhang Hao was his son-in-law.

"Tsk, I'm still afraid of this? By the way, let Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian come out of the inspection team. Such an inspection team is just a fool. What's the point?" Zhang Hao said and stood up.

"This, Mr. Lu An, you should be more careful!" Lu Ben and the others also stood up and persuaded Zhang Hao.

"I don't want to do it either. I told the emperor that I have enough things to do now. The emperor said that if I don't go, I will let me go to Shaolin Temple to become a monk. Just kidding. I'm still so young and haven't enjoyed the prosperity of black tea. I'll be a monk?" Zhang Hao stared at the three of them and said.

"Ah? This!" When the three of them heard this, they knew that Zhang Hao had to go.

"I'll give you five days. You can go and persuade the emperor. It's best to convince the emperor!" Zhang Hao left and left, leaving the three of them looking at each other.

"Hey, there will be no good things when your son-in-law comes back. If he doesn't come back, how quiet and peaceful it is?" Lu Ben said depressedly at Xu Jie.

"What's the solution? The emperor asked him to do it!" Xu Jie was speechless, actually agreeing with what Lu Ben said in his heart.

"We still have to find a way to dissuade this matter. The key is that now that the emperor has money and he has money, he can control the affairs of the entire court. All things need to be done according to the emperor's wishes. Even if there is a chaos, the emperor will not be afraid. After all, it will not affect the normal operation of the court. This matter still needs to be written by the ministers below to clarify the interests of it!" Yan Song looked at the two of them and said.

"Is it useful?" Xu Jie looked at Yan Song and said helplessly.
