Chapter 279
Killing Order
Killing Order
Zhang Shuye can probably guess the cause of this series of events: Fang Juren learned the secret method of salt drying from there, which can greatly reduce the cost of salt drying. So he hooked up with Qushan Salt Field, who privately purchased cheap salt from Fang Juren, and then tacted on the accounts, turning these private salts into regular salt produced by his own salt farm, and then transferred the price difference.
Then, more people were involved. First, the local gentry participated in the acquisition of private salt. If you want to transport private salt out on the East China Sea Island, you must first obtain the tacit approval of the local gentry; and when private salt lands on the mainland, you need the coastal naval army to open and close your eyes, so the Lianshui army participated... I am afraid that Shi Yanei's father and Tongzhou naval army were not clean either.
These people were originally determined to be private salt, but unfortunately they never knew that those who dared to take the government's ban were all bold guys. When they found out that these people were suspected of bandits... Oh, or they had already discovered that the group of people were unauthorized, and they pretended not to know at that time. Now Fang Juren has been taken away from his crown and is about to be imprisoned. These people are worried that they will be dragged into the water by Fang Juren. After the situation is out of control, they simply do whatever they want...
Yes, you need to do it without stopping. Things have reached this point. The truth is revealed and it is not good for anyone - "Then don't do it without stopping," said Zhang Shuye, closing his eyes.
If an official reaches the fifth rank and the governor of a province, he is always an old fox in the officialdom. It is impossible not to know the rules of the officialdom - hello, hello everyone, hello everyone is really good.
As long as everyone's hands and feet are faster and their mouths are cleaner, it is a merit for Zhang Shuye, and it is a great merit for preventing a group of "fishermen" from forming associations and rebellion in time; for others involved in this matter, it is also a merit. On the one hand, it is a guilty, and fools know how to choose.
However, the only bad thing is that Zhang Shuye personally used the imperial guards' wing last year, and the court was very dissatisfied. He could not make mistakes in this regard this year. It would be inappropriate to dispatch the Lianshui Army. It would be better to send the landlords to dispatch it.
"Lianshui Army..." Zhang Shuye lit up: "Don't shoot the flag, and don't compete for merit afterwards."
"Understand, understand," Salt Supervisor understands it.
It is impossible to let the Lianshui Army not come forward. They are also worried that they will be blamed for being sold, so they must be supervised on the spot. What else does Zhang Shuye say just now mean to not pursue the matter later.
After thinking about it, Zhang Shuye couldn't help but feel curious and asked again: "After all you are officials of the court, why are you so unconventional in your work? You are so unconventional and do such things together with Juren Fang?"
No wonder everyone, it's really... At this point, the Salt Principal didn't want to hide it anymore. He whispered: "Jun Fang used the salt drying method..."
Qushan Salt Field used to boil salt, boiling seawater in a small pot and evaporate the water to obtain salt. This method of cooking salt consumes time and coal, and salt corrodes the iron pot, resulting in the cost of salt remaining high. Modern industrial salt drying method is the most important thing. The method obtained by Shi Yanei from his brother-in-law does not require iron pots and firewood at all. He directly uses sunlight to dry seawater into salt. The labor required is just a person to carry it on his shoulders. These two manufacturing methods span five or six hundred years of technical accumulation and innovation, and the cost difference is more than a hundred times.
Since Shi Yanei secretly opened a salt farm on a small island, Qushan Salt Farm has basically stopped cooking salt. The salt surveillance just re-purchased and ate the difference. A little leftover was exposed from the cracks of his fingers, which made the salt workers in the salt farm grateful. Therefore, since the emergence of anti-spoiled salt, the entire salt farm has become a community of interests, and the external solid blockade has been tightly blocked.
However, Shi Yanei's salt farm is not big, and this kind of smuggling activity is not bold, so the output of the entire salt farm is not large except for supplying the Shi family. The salt farm salt supervisor is always hungry and thirsty. In this case, after Fang Juren "accidentally" obtained the Shi family's salt drying method, he saw that the other party was also a juren, and the salt supervisor was moved - a hundred times profit was enough to make him take risks.
Unexpectedly, some jobs that others do are just some people born unlucky, and they always mess up when they start - who would have thought that Fang Juren acted arrogantly and angered the bosses of Haizhou City. If they don’t come forward, they hide behind the scenes and fiddled with them for a few times, Fang Juren was immediately depressed.
However, who is behind the entire incident? The Salt Prison is still confused. It looks like Shi Yanei, but Shi Yanei is not so courageous. If it was designed by the person in Haizhou City, the person in Haizhou City did not get into deep involvement in the entire incident, so it would be easy for him to pick him out. At that time, the Salt Prison who told all the secrets might be the next cup.
So, while talking hesitantly, the Salt Superintendent thought about the words. In the end, he not only concealed Shi Yanei, but also picked Shiwen cleanly.
But in this matter, we will eventually find a scapegoat in the officialdom. Who should we look for? Zhang Shuye has made a decision: "No wonder the gentry in Donghai County is coming to the capital city to leave. So many foreign fishermen have settled their hometowns. Donghai County has failed to monitor and even let the remnants of the sects get in. I will impeach Donghai County tomorrow, everyone..."
The salt supervisor immediately stood up and bowed his head to his ears: "The lower official is attached to the office, and the lower official is attached to the office."
"Yes," Uncle Zhang greeted majesticly: "It's late at night, I'll send Erchen Soup to rinse your mouth."
When welcoming guests, the soup was sent. When the soup was delivered, the salt supervisor immediately stood up and bowed: "Goodbye by the official."
The gentry who came to report the news was restricted to the government office. Zhang Shuye didn't say anything, but the secretary of the army winked and turned around and walked into the back hall.
At the same time, Cui Zhuang and Cui Yuannei Shi Chuan were asking Mu Shun: "How much power does our family absolutely have in the group training?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of my heart: "Don't worry, what Mu Shun learned from Mr. Hai is not just the Clipper driving skills, but the guy originally planned to train him to be the principal of the Captain Training Academy."
Shi Tuan was stunned for a moment and immediately understood where the voice came from. Thinking of a guy hiding in his yard, Shi Tuan's heart relaxed a little, and only heard Mu Shun bow and answer: "There are 150 people in the group training, 67 of whom are from tenants, and the remaining 83 people are from our workshop. If you choose a group training, one principle is to not have the eldest son, so the 150 people are the youngest sons in the family.
The 83 people from our workshop are fifteen or sixteen years old. They are the age of being a god who hates ghosts and is worried. Naughty and troubles can cause disasters. Many of their families have sisters, sisters-in-laws, or brothers who enter our workshop. The family thinks that the child cannot be watched, so they are sent to the group training to prevent them from making trouble every day.
There are 67 tenants, 50 from the Cui family. One is from our family, and six are from major families and wealthy families in the village. Children with close ties cannot endure hardships and cannot stay in the group training. After all, the people who are left behind are all remote branches of various ethnic groups and are from poor backgrounds, and our family can completely control them."
Shi Chuan nodded: "I know you have learned sea combat skills and have participated in many firefighting with real swords and guns, but the battle on the road is different from the sea. How do you train these people?"
Mu Shun grinned and replied modestly: "Dalang, this is indeed not the little old man's strength. The little old man is good at managing accounts, managing and operating boats to see the wind... This..."
Shi Chuan cut off Mu Shun's words and continued to ask: "How many roads are there in our village to the outside world?"
Mu Shun replied without hesitation: "Four lines - two are in front of the village, two are behind the village; in front of the village: one road from the center of the village directly leads to the east gate of Haizhou Prefecture, and the other road is newly built. After our workshop is completed, trucks transporting goods are constantly coming. Some people in the village complained that our vehicle broke the road in the village. The old man simply built a road from the front of the workshop, leading to the official road not far from the entrance of the village. This road is built with cement, and after it is repaired, it will be better than the original road in the village. Now everyone is following our road, and the shops on the original route in the village are moved to our roadside.
There are also newly built two roads in the back of the village. One is the Rose Garden eastward and the road leads directly to Baihu Mountain. This road is covered with gravel and fine sand. Because the lime production has not kept up, it has not hardened yet. The other road leads to Zhengzhuang, Ding Village. Our family does not often walk this road, so we have never taken care of it, so the road conditions are naturally not good..."
"Are there many strangers coming and going in the village these two days?" Shi asked in a hurry.
Mu Shun turned his head and looked at him. A Shi tribe next to him nodded: "Manager Mu was too busy and didn't pay attention. I paid attention. When he was in the dark, he had 10 or 20 people. I wanted to go over and question him, but the Fang family immediately took him over. When I saw someone in the village, I didn't care."
This is the Shi tribe who was originally planning to enter the workshop as a manager. At that time, there were seven Shi tribes who were preparing to enter the workshop together. Seeing that two of them were strong, Shi Chuan assigned them to the group training. These days, scholars do not like to exercise very much. Those who came from the scholarly family with well-proportioned figures and slightly developed muscles are basically the scum of the scholarly family. They love playing better than reading. They just happen to be able to enter the group training and play as their profession.
What the ancients called playing basically meant physical exercise.
Shi Chuan immediately asked his family members: "Since you have noticed these people, what's special about them?"
The tribe members thought for a while and replied: "This group of people seemed to be thugs. There is such a group of people in the city who rely on fighting with others to make a living. The group looks like they have obvious scars on their bodies. Their faces and arms, and they look at people. They seem to be very fierce and do not take human lives seriously..."
"That's right - Juren Fang is summoning people, but these people are by no means the only ones. He has just been released from prison and the news has just been passed on, so his people are still coming.
From tomorrow, Butler Mu will come forward and convene all groups to inspect four roads in and out, investigate people entering, etc. If there is any resistance, kill directly - remember, it is killing, not arresting."
The commander of the tenant, Yu Moumou, sneered: "Kill the officials... without the orders of the government, we will not be punished by the death penalty even if we break into a village."
