Wei Xizhuang was excited and nervous, nervous and frightened, looking at Zhou Zheng nervously and said, "I know I am a wise man. I asked you if I can answer?"

Although Wei Xizhuang knew the danger, it was Fenghou Bo. Not only was he soaring into the sky, but he could also extend his descendants. What a temptation this is, how many people can resist it?

Zhou Zheng stared at Wei Xizhuang with an unprecedented serious expression and said word by word: "If you don't want to die, don't accept this. Even if you beat you to death immediately, you will turn against Wei Zhongxian, and you will not accept it!"

Wei Xizhuang looked at Zhou Zheng's unprecedented solemn expression, and the corners of his mouth moved, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Zheng knew that his words could not dispel Wei Xizhuang's hope in his heart. If it were him, he would have to hesitate.

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Be patient! Be patient for a year! Since Wei Zhongxian wants to give you juniors, he doesn't care about this moment. Your foundation is unstable and you rashly take over, it's not Wei Liangqing. If the court opposes too much, some people may be sacrificed to the flag."

Wei Liangqing was the nephew of the Hou of Suning, Wei Zhongxian, who was the first title that Wei Zhongxian sought for his descendants. Now there is a saying that the annual meeting was named Suning Bo. The farmland was 8,000 hectares, and the annual salary was 19,000, and the mansion was imitated by Xinjian Bo.

Xinjian Bo, Wang Shouren, is the title of Wang Yangming.

Wei Xizhuang listened to Zhou Zheng's words, the excitement and panic in his eyes subsided and began to think.

He was a little transparent person in the court and the country, which means that some people knew that he was Wei Zhongxian's nephew and was a marginal person, without power or power.

If Qingliu objected loudly and someone offered sacrifices to the flag, who else would besides him?

A title suddenly hit the head, Wei Xizhuang was a little lost, but he was a little man, between title and life, it was important that he could calmly choose to save his life.

Wei Xizhuang took another sip of tea, suppressing the still struggling in his heart, and said, "Well, I'll listen to you, I won't answer!"

Zhou Zheng was still worried that Wei Xizhuang would not be able to withstand the temptation and reminded him again: "Only Wei Zhongxian is here, and the title and other things can be planned in the future. We will make money silently and make enough money, and we will have everything in the future."

Wei Xizhuang had already controlled this idea, and nodded as he listened to Zhou Zheng's words and said, "I understand."

He really understands that an ordinary citizen who is incompetent and famous and cannot be an official, of course he can only think about getting rich. If he had not maintained his position in front of Wei Zhongxian and kept giving money, his family would not have been missing.

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng relaxed a little. Thinking about what happened next year, he said: "I will go to Jianlu next year. You can find some time to stay in the south first. The capital will not make much money, but it will still be Nanjing."

Wei Xizhuang was still a little confused, and then he said, "Well, there are indeed many things in Nanjing. I will find an opportunity to make some money. By the way, Li Shi has gotten more money, and I want to use it."

Zhou Zheng wanted to protect the life of Wei Xizhuang, who was undergoing great changes next year. Seeing that he agreed and said nothing, he said, "How much do you want?"

"Fifty thousand, no, the more the better." Wei Xizhuang said, his tone a little anxious.

Zhou Zheng was stunned and said, "What do you want so much money to do?"

Zhou Zheng had already made some money to Wei Xizhuang. Although his shop made money, it was not 50,000 taels. Li Shi couldn't make more money in Beijing, and most of them were in Suzhou and Hangzhou and Nanjing. Shangguan Xun had already gone to Suzhou and Hangzhou, but he could not give out 50,000 taels in a short time before sending it to Beijing.

Wei Xizhuang took another sip of tea and said, "Yuan Chonghuan asked the court for 800,000 yuan in salary, but the national treasury had no money."

If Agentariat wants to use money, but the treasury cannot take it out, then he can only count on Wei Zhongxian. In order to please Agentariat, Wei Zhongxian naturally has to find a way to raise money.

Zhou Zheng nodded and thought carefully.

He couldn't afford so much money, even if he borrowed it, he couldn't borrow it. 50,000 taels, not a small amount.

In addition to following the search of the house, Wei Xizhuang could make some money and water, but also operated some shops and some land, but there was no more income and could not afford 50,000 taels.

He has no friends. Those of the Wei family are all friends and relatives, and they have different relationships and cannot expect to get money from them. Therefore, they can only find Zhou Zheng here.

Seeing Zhou Zheng pondering, he couldn't help but look anxious. If he refused to be a marquis and could not afford the money, the trouble would be great!

Zhou Zheng thought about it carefully, looked up at Wei Xizhuang and said, "I can't take it out for the time being, I'm afraid I can't take it out for a while. Also, this is not a solution for us. We must have a stable input."

"What input?" Wei Xizhuang said with wide eyes. He has been worried about this matter, and it is not enough to rely on his shops.

Zhou Zheng looked at him, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "You can start with salt."

"Salt?"

Wei Xizhuang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly and said, "Salt is not just the Ministry of Revenue, but the big figures in the cabinet are staring at it, and the internal supervisors are also in charge. We can't get involved."

The salt tax in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be in name only. Every year, it relies on the salt to sell some money. The salt course system has long collapsed and has been corroded from top to bottom, and it has been thoroughly thorough.

The salt farm, the Ministry of Revenue, the salt department of various places, and the major salt merchants, have formed a mature and stable system over the years. Not to mention Wei Xizhuang and Zhou Zheng, even the court can't move.

Of course, they would not want to act. The loss of salt tax was also an important form and means for the Ming Dynasty officials and business classes to invade national taxes.

“Not difficult.”

Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed with a strange color and said, "If you ask a few people to write a letter, you will say that the salt farms in various places are seriously corrupt and the salt tax is lost in a large number. If you walk around, take down this job, choose one of the salt farms, and knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, then someone will come to you to give you silver."

Wei Xizhuang listened to Zhou Zheng's words and thought about it carefully. After a while, he slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Those people earn so much, it's not too much for us to grab it at all. Let's take action with Shandong Yingkou!"

Zhou Zheng just wanted to do a test and see the depth of the water, but he didn't expect Wei Xizhuang to get too deep into it and was plotted against him. He hurriedly said, "You must pay attention to your sense of duty and stop when you see it is better. There are many troubles when you are greedy."

Wei Xizhuang immediately smiled and said, "In this regard, I am better than you."

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, knowing that Wei Xizhuang was talking about the storm he had caused recently, he ignored it and said, "Well, hurry up and do it. Also, find time to go to Nanjing before March next year to settle Li Shi's affairs."

Zhou Zheng said this, thinking about the way to keep Wei Xizhuang in Jiangnan and not be allowed to go back before the end of next year.

For Wei Xizhuang, this was just a small matter. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll write it down."

Zhou Zheng didn't say much when he had an idea in his mind, and said, "How are the people you trained? I want to go to Jianlu. Do you have any credible people? I'll lend me a few."

Wei Xizhuang's expression suddenly turned solemn, and she said, "Can you not go?"

The risk of going on a mission to Jianlu is not only that it may not be able to come back, but also that it is mostly a complaint and a serious hindrance in the future!

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "You must go."

Zhou Zheng also wanted to see how far Jianlu has developed, in order to know himself and his enemy and respond.
