Chapter 321

Yang Caihuan wanted to stay in Zhang Hao's mansion. When Zhang Hao heard it, it made sense, but it was not necessary. After all, Yang Caihuan is a servant in the family. Moreover, he had met Yang Caihuan before, but he was not sure whether this person could be used.

Moreover, Zhang Hao probably cannot use it. If Yang Caihuan really has such ability, his mother would tell him. After all, if the servants in the family are, my mother would not know where they are, and if he is coming to Shanxi, he would also tell him. Since my mother didn't say it, it means that this person might not be able to use it.

"Well, I appreciate your kindness, go back!" Zhang Hao nodded with a smile at Yang Caihuan, waved his hand and said.

"This, the Second Young Master, the salt merchants in Shanxi, have all joined forces. I heard that they are hoarding salt. The Second Young Master, if there is a salt waste, it will be bad. The Second Young Master, I can try to convince them!" Yang Caihuan heard that he said this, but he did not agree, so he wanted to show that he was still useful to Zhang Hao.

"You go and convince them? Do you have this ability?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile as he looked at Yang Caihuan.

"The young man does not have such great ability. The young man also took advantage of the reputation of the Duke of England's mansion to talk to them and let them release salt. In this way, the second young master can finish the errands assigned to you very well!" Yang Caihuan bowed to Zhang Hao and said.

"Oh, okay, then you go and tell them in the afternoon, if anyone of them is willing to put salt out, it's okay!" Zhang Hao said to Yang Caihuan with a smile,

I thought to myself, it depends on who has such courage. If I really dare to put salt out, I would really spare him this time and give him a chance. But Zhang Hao knew in my heart that those people could not put salt out. What they needed was Zhang Hao's compromise and Jiajing's compromise.

"Thank you, the second young master. I will definitely negotiate with them. Please give me a few days!" Yang Caihuan said happily when he heard Zhang Hao agree.

As long as Zhang Hao agrees, he will have the chance to get the 150,000 taels of silver. However, before mentioning the affairs of the three families, he needs to gain Zhang Hao's trust first. If Zhang Hao does not trust him, then the money can only be watched and thought about it. Soon, Yang Caihuan went out.

"Come here!" Zhang Hao waved to a hundred households beside him and said.

"Sir!" The hundred households immediately arrived next to Zhang Hao.

"Check for about ten days, who has gone to his house and how long has he been, especially those salt merchants have been there!" Zhang Hao whispered to the hundred households.

"Yes, sir!" the hundred household immediately bowed,

Zhang Hao sat there thinking, what does Yang Caihuan mean? So proactive? The servants at home are loyal to the master and can understand it. However, when he came to work for the office, he didn't come here to play. He didn't summon him, so he actually came over. As the saying goes, he is dedicated to his work, either a traitor or a thief!

At this moment, two salt merchants were already in Zhu Xinlong's residence study.

"General of the Fuguo, do you think we want to go? I'm worried that this is the Hongmen Banquet!" One of the salt merchants looked at Zhu Xinlong and asked.

"Yes, I'm also worried. After receiving the invitation, we were so anxious!" Another salt merchant also said anxiously.

After hearing this, Zhu Xinlong thought about it for a while and said, "You must go there, but you must remember it, talk less and listen more, and see what Zhang Hao wants to do!"

"Yes, but I think Zhang Hao is not a good person. Yesterday, he brought more than 20,000 people into the city, all of whom were the Imperial Guards!"

"Yes, this person is probably here to demonstrate to the King of Jin. When will the King of Jin come back?"

...

The two of them sat there and said anxiously.

"The King of Jin needs to stabilize the emperor in the capital. If something happens in Shanxi, I will write to the King of Jin immediately. The King of Jin will be very active in the capital. Zhang Hao, there is no need for the King of Jin to take action!" Zhu Xinlong looked at the two of them with an unhappy look on his face.

When they heard this, they immediately bowed and said nervously: "Yes, yes, yes, is it a small matter of inadequate consideration, or is the King of Jin considering it carefully, then, let's go?"

"Go, listen to what Zhang Hao said? Don't express your opinion today, but remember?" Zhu Xinlong continued to explain to them.

Soon, the two of them went out and arrived at the yamen of the General Administration Office, but they could not go in yet. The General Administration Office is not so easy to see. It is time to go in. He is also busy with his official duties.

What's more, these people are businessmen, so the governor would not pay more attention to them. Although these people were what Zhang Hao wanted to see, there was no time and Zhang Hao did not come either. So these people could only wait outside. From a distance, they were very gorgeous in the carriage and the materials were also very particular.

In addition, the horses they pulled the carriage all looked very good, obviously they were expensive horse breeds, and these salt merchants were very rich.

It was almost a quarter of an hour before, and Zhang Hao rode his horse to the yamen of the governor and the corps. He also saw so many carriages. Zhang Hao was wearing the marquis's official uniform.

When those people saw it, they knew it was Zhang Hao, so they knelt down and didn't dare to look up. Zhang Hao sat on the horse and looked at them, then dismounted and entered the yamen. Yu Dafang was also standing at the door waiting for Zhang Hao to come over.

"Sir, those businessmen have arrived. Do you want them to come in?" Yu Dafang saw Zhang Hao coming and asked immediately.

"Then let them come in!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Yes, sir!" Yu Dafang turned around and said to an official beside him: "Let them come in and take them to the wing room where the marquis is located!"

"Yes, sir!" The official turned around and went out, while Yu Dafang took Zhang Hao to the wing room where the negotiation was held.

"Sir, please come here. We will chat with them next door later. Come and have a tea!" Yu Dafang took Zhang Hao to a small room next to the talk room.

"Well, you can sit there too. Shanxi has not performed very well in the past two years! Although there are many wealthy businessmen in Shanxi, there are more poor people. There have been several rebellions last year, and there are people fleeing to the capital!" Zhang Hao sat there, looking at Yu Dafang and asked.

"Yes, what lord criticizes is that Shanxi's businessmen are rich, but our government has no money!" Yu Dafang immediately said to Zhang Hao's poor voice when he heard this.

"No money? How is it possible? I think this yamen is well built!" Zhang Hao said with a smile when he heard this.

"That was my job in the process of repairing, and some of them were donated money by merchants. There is no way. Adults, there are many wealthy businessmen in Shanxi, but that is all their money, not our government's money.

On the contrary, we can't collect taxes. People have already done it. According to the law, they have avoided it. We have no choice. In this area of ​​Shanxi, the people are poor and the government is poor. But hey, I won't say anything. Some things are not allowed to be said by the officials!" Yu Dafang said to Zhang Hao with a wry smile.

"Is there anything that cannot be said? Didn't you transfer it to me last year? You're scared?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile as he looked at Yu Dafang.

"Ha, sir, are joking!" Yu Dafang said with a wry smile.

"Well, if you are poor in the government and poor in the people, you have no choice?" Zhang Hao continued to ask with a smile.

"I dare not have any solution, I can't afford to offend you!" Yu Dafang shook his head again and said, then made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Hao: "Sir, please have tea!"

"Yeah, have tea!" Zhang Hao nodded.

"Sir, before going to see them, the official wanted to say something!" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao and said in a low voice.

"Well, you said!" Zhang Hao nodded.

"Sir, Taiyuan is very poor. Thanks to the emperor's love for the people, this year's tax exemption has given us some hope. The lower-ranking official is the Shanxi governor, hoping that the people in Shanxi will have a stable life. Whether it is ordinary people or rich businessmen, stability is very important. Sir, please consider the situation in our Shanxi when arresting people!" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao and said very carefully.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he just looked at him.

"Of course, sir, if they violate national laws, there is no problem, but don't expand it!" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao and continued to bite the bullet.

"Are you worried that I will catch all the wealthy businessmen in Shanxi?" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang with a smile and asked.

"Sir, yes, I am the governor. I am the chief person in charge in all the situations in Shanxi. I am on behalf of the emperor to comfort the people. I cannot ignore these things. More than half of the wealthy businessmen in Shanxi are salt merchants, and 20 to 30% are related to pig iron. Sir, please be proud of yourself and don't investigate so tightly!" Yu Dafang continued to bow to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao heard it and nodded with a smile, without saying a word.

"Sir, since I took office, I have been trembling, but the people still rebel. The commander and the censors and the censors often discuss how to solve such a problem? Alas!" Yu Dafang sighed.

"Have you found a solution?" Zhang Hao looked at him with a smile and asked.

"No, if it weren't for the emperor's tax exemption, and the Ministry of Revenue has allocated the annual expenditure in Shanxi this year in advance, it would probably be even more troublesome!" Yu Dafang said with a wry smile.

"So you can't solve it. The emperor asked me to come!" Zhang Hao stared at Yu Dafang and said calmly.

When Yu Dafang heard this, he was stunned and looked at Zhang Hao.

"Shanxi cannot get messy. The 20,000 imperial guards can guarantee that if they cannot get messy, I will catch those illegal merchants and the people will not get messy!" Zhang Hao said with a smile and looked at Yu Dafang.
