Chapter 349

Yu Dafang went to prepare for the luncheon, and King Dai also stood up and sent Yu Dafang away.

"Please sit down. I think King Dai would not say it was as simple as passing by. If there is anything, just say it!" Zhang Hao asked King Dai Zhu Yansa to sit down and asked with a smile.

"Don't get me wrong. I really didn't come for the sake of King Jin. King Jin violated the national law. If I really want to ask for love, I will write a memorial to go to the capital and ask the emperor to forgive me, instead of coming to find you!" Zhu Yansai immediately said with a wry smile at Zhang Hao.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he thought about it carefully and nodded. This is the truth, but Zhang Hao still looked at Zhu Yansai with a smile.

"That's right. This time I just want to inquire about whom I will deal with next, am I?" Zhu Yansai looked at Zhang Hao and then asked.

"Ah? Haha, I'm joking, King Dai!" Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then waved his hand with a smile. He had never thought about dealing with King Dai.

"The King of Jin is in Taiyuan, I am in Datong. The King of Jin controls salt, and I can make some pig iron. The emperor knew it before. You are the imperial envoy to rectify salt and iron tea. After the salt is rectified, it is time to get iron?" Zhu Yansai said with a wry smile at Zhang Hao.

"No, you misunderstood. I've seen the iron side. It's too hard and the yield is too low. I'm completely dissatisfied with meeting the needs of our Ming Dynasty. So the pig iron you control is completely out of my eyes. I'm just thinking about how to increase the output of my Ming Dynasty iron!" Zhang Hao said to Zhu Yansai,

Zhu Yansai couldn't believe it, just staring at Zhang Hao.

"Don't you believe it?" Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Yansai and asked.

"No, no, it's just a little surprised. The emperor asked you to clean up the salt and iron tea, this, ha!" Zhu Yansai waved his hand to Zhang Hao and said, "I really don't believe it."

"I'm telling the truth. The iron production is too low. No matter how you rectify it, it's just so much. Why bother? It's not salt. The salt production is OK, and the profit is also very considerable.

As for pig iron, the court still needs to pay money every year. Of course, I also know that you have got some money through pig iron, but it is far less than salt.

However, I also know that the salt merchants controlled by King Jin also hold 20% of the shares, but you don’t care about the matter, just share the money, so I don’t plan to expand the scope of investigation. This time, I said, I won’t investigate you!" Zhang Hao said with a smile as he looked at King Dai.

"Thank you, Lu Anhou, yes, I have 20% of the shares, but it's all the year-end, so I'll just come and pay dividends. I don't care about other things. Lu Anhou was able to tell me truthfully, which surprised me.

Now, I believe Lu Anhou. What do you need me to do when you rectify iron? Just say, of course, I won’t do that pig iron anymore. Don’t worry, we can’t make money. The reason I did it before was that we didn’t do it, and there would be others to do it. It’s better for me to do it, right?” Zhu Yansai looked at Zhang Hao and said very low-key, and very straightforward.

"Thank you for the support of King Dai, don't worry, I can't continue to investigate his vassal kings. King Jin is really treason this time, do you know the Wu family?" Zhang Hao asked King Dai.

"Of course I know, what's wrong?" King Dai looked at Zhang Hao incomprehensible and asked.

"The Wu family smuggled pig iron to the Tatars in Xuanhua. Do you think it was a collaboration with the enemy? Last year, the Tatar soldiers surrounded Beijing City. This was the biggest shame of our Ming Dynasty. The emperor was furious. Now, the King of Jin has done such a thing and has done so many similar things before. In other words, the King of Jin is responsible for being able to kill the Tatars below Beijing City!" Zhang Hao explained to the King of Dai, and he needed to explain it clearly to them.

Otherwise, those princes united to deal with themselves, and they would be troublesome. There was no need to establish so many enemies. If they really messed with themselves, they would definitely kill them. However, they were doing things for the emperor, so there was no need to offend so many princes.

Besides, I don’t know what the consequences of King Jin’s affairs are. If I rashly offend so many princes, it would be bad. If King Jin has nothing to do at that time, then I will be no one inside and outside. So Zhang Hao also wants to keep a move and pass on the spread of the emperor through the Dai King why the emperor dealt with King Jin like this so as not to doubt those princes.

"Oh, there is something like this?" It was the first time that Dai Wang heard about it and was surprised.

"I found out myself. The emperor was very angry and ordered me to come here to investigate. But as soon as I took over the imperial envoy, the King of Jin ordered the salt merchants to cause trouble. You said, the emperor could let him go easily, why isn't this against the emperor?" Zhang Hao looked at King Dai and asked.

"Hey, King Jin is confused. How could he do such a confused thing? If he went to the emperor to apologize from the beginning, the emperor would not be so angry and would not end up like this!" King Dai said anxiously at this moment.

"I have advised King Jin. If you don't believe it, you can ask King Jin. I said that the emperor punished you, so you will continue. Anyway, the throne will not be cut off, and it will only cost 2 million taels. Do you think King Jin is less than this money? It's not bad at all, why don't you agree? Now you have seen it too, are you in trouble? They have all been investigated!" Zhang Hao smiled and spread his hands and said.

When King Dai heard this, he looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and asked, "There is such a thing?"

"You can ask King Jin. This time I go back to the capital, I will ask him too. I reminded him like this at the beginning, but he didn't understand. What can I do?" Zhang Hao said with a wry smile.

"If this is the case, you really can't blame you. However, I want to know more about King Jin!" King Dai sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and said, while Zhang Hao was looking at King Dai.

"I can help you, and I hope the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful!" Dai Wang said seriously as he looked at Zhang Hao,

When Zhang Hao heard this, he nodded, stood up, went to his study, picked up the confessions of several salt merchants, and then came out and handed them over to the Dai King.

"You can take a look at it yourself. It's not unfair to arrest him!" Zhang Hao said to King Dai,

The King Dai nodded and looked at the confessions carefully. It was shocking to see people from the King of Jin, who were so arrogant, was not known to King Dai before. Although he had heard of some, he did not expect that he would be so crazy.

"Hey, God can live if he commits evil, but he can't live if he commits evil!" The King of Dai sighed and put down his confession.

"The emperor has no choice. The court is already like this, and they are still so greedy. How do you think the emperor will choose?" Zhang Hao said to King Dai,

King Dai nodded, then bowed to Zhang Hao and said, "I know this. I don't know what piece of iron is. What can I do for you?"

"Iron, what can you do?" Zhang Hao looked at King Dai and asked, and King Dai nodded seriously.

"You don't need to do anything now. I looked at it. Those workers are too hard. If possible, you should be kind to them. Although you are managing a small part, you should be kind to that part.

But I would like to remind you that if I really want to rectify pig iron, your pig iron will be profitable and have no profit at all. So, if you don’t have much profit in this area, I will give up at that time. It’s not necessary now. Oh, I don’t want to care about such things. I am a military general, and the emperor is too. Let me care about such things!" Zhang Hao said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" Dai Wang said immediately with a smile.

Then the two of them talked about King Jin for a while, and Yu Dafang came over to invite them to the banquet. Zhang Hao and King Dai went there together, and the three of them sat there for dinner.

"Mr. Lu An, when you have time, you will come to Datong. At that time, I will live at my husband's house. Although my Dai Wang Mansion is not big, it is still good. With so many generations of construction, it still has a bit of Jiangnan!" Dai Wang said with a smile to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, there must be a chance. I don't know if the emperor will tell me not to care about those things. If I were to care about those things, I would definitely come here!" Zhang Hao nodded with a smile.

After lunch, King Dai did not rest and directly wanted to go back to Datong, where Yu Dafang and Zhang Hao were delivering it.

"The person who came was not kind. I guess he was asking King Jin?" Yu Dafang stood there and looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Yes, but this time he came with kindness, and I responded with kindness. If he dares to lie to me, don't blame me for being rude!" Zhang Hao stood there, smiled and said,

This time, the Dai Wang put his posture very low. He respects himself, so he will definitely respect him.

"That's good, but the benefits you have made this move are too great. You need to think clearly about this matter!" Yu Dafang reminded Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao nodded!

That night, King Dai returned to Datong. When he arrived at home, his son Zhu Naixuan rushed over immediately and even brought an imperial edict!

"Dad, the emperor has an imperial edict, asking you to go back to Beijing, saying it is a Qingming Festival to worship ancestors!" Zhu Naixuan said and gave the imperial edict to Zhu Yansai to look at it.

"Oh!" Zhu Yansai immediately stood up, took the imperial edict respectfully, and looked at it carefully.

"Dad, I'm worried that it's the Hongmen Banquet!" Zhu Naixuan reminded Zhu Yansai.

"What nonsense? What do you know about Hongmen Banquet?" Zhu Yansai immediately scolded Zhu Naixuan and said.

"Dad, it's not obvious. I just got rid of King Jin, so I summoned the kings back to Beijing, and used the name of worshiping ancestors. Isn't it just a warning to everyone? If anyone dares to disobey the emperor's will in the future, King Jin will end!" Zhu Naixuan looked at Zhu Yansai and said.

"Did the emperor do something wrong? Well? What are you talking nonsense here? Who dares not go this time?" Zhu Yansai stared at Zhu Naihyun and said.
