Jiangnan has always been the richest place in the world.

All the governors who came to Jiangnan were the regular candidates for the imperial court.

There are only a handful of people among the governors of Jiangnan who have not been in the position of deputy prime minister or prime minister.

In the past few years since Liu Renhuai, the current governor of Jiangnan, has vigorously built hydraulic power, actively reclaimed wasteland and distributed it to the people, greatly increased the punishment for businessmen's tax evasion, and tried his best to maintain prices in various parts of Jiangnan and suppress all kinds of illegal acts. In the ears of every Jiangnan person, it is well-known.

Unlike the gratitude of the people, salt merchants like Cai Xinfeng and others were very afraid of Liu Renhuai.

Because Liu Renhuai didn't like their tricks at all, every time he came to Yangzhou, he would beat them up and ordered them to pay for the public affairs expenditure in Jiangnan without any sympathy.

If it were someone else, they could still spend money through relationships and get the Jiangnan Governor to be transferred away.

But Liu Renhuai is different. He is a good-for-nothing disciple of the emperor and the prime minister whom the emperor attaches most importance to and cultivates.

Thirty years ago, Emperor Jinghe specially offered a favor. As a result, Liu Renhuai, who was only fifteen years old, passed the hurdles and defeated the generals all the way, and was finally appointed as the top scholar.

From then on, Liu Renhuai was regarded as his true disciple and focused on training.

Liu Renhuai worked in the Hanlin Academy, Dali Temple, and six ministries for ten years, and then began to work as a county magistrate, prefect, frontier general, governor, governor, and governor until now the current governor of Jiangnan.

From this resume, we can also know that Liu Renhuai is the future prime minister and no one can stop him.

Who dares to say bad things about the emperor like this? Who is not afraid of Liu Renhuai wearing his shoes in the future?

Not to mention the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, even the Minister of Revenue, you have to be respectful to Liu Renhuai when you see Liu Renhuai!

When he heard that it was Liu Renhuai, Cai Xinfeng immediately realized that his backer was useless and might immediately distance himself from him.

"Sir, I found it!"

I don’t know how long it took, but Cai Xinfeng heard someone shouting like this.

He looked up and saw two officials carrying a bunch of books.

Although Cai Xinfeng has a good collection of account books, these officials have very experienced search methods, and they found it in a short while.

This is also Cai Xinfeng was careless and did not have a better way to hide the account book.

But who knew that the Censor would suddenly attack so unscrupulously?

Just as Cai Xinfeng's heart sank, Park Jingmao next to him smiled and said, "Okay, the physical evidence has been found. Boss Cai, just come with us!"

“No, no…”

Cai Xinfeng was so scared that he shook his hand repeatedly, but the soldiers next to him didn't care about so much, so he just raised him and walked out.

"No, sir... I'm wronged... sir..."

Boss Cai's shrill cry echoed throughout the Cai Mansion, making his wives, concubines, descendants, and the servants of the Cai Mansion, unable to help but tremble all over.

Is this day... going to change?

...

Although Yangzhou City has the largest number of wealthy people in the world, the city is actually not big.

Park Jingmao went out with great momentum and rushed to the Cai Mansion and captured Cai Xinfeng. Many ordinary people could see clearly.

Before Park Jingmao could return to the Censorate Office, all salt merchants of all sizes in Yangzhou City received the news.

For a moment, countless people looked gloomy and were in panic all day long.

Two quarters of an hour later, the other four of the five major salt merchants were all concentrated in Jia Ziming's mansion study.

"Not! Not so! How can this be so? It's so unconventional!" Yuchi Hong sighed constantly, and could no longer see the firmness of yesterday.

Long Yi, who was proudly claiming that he spent 500,000 yuan to build a garden yesterday, had a pale face.

Both of them were good, and Jiang Yuan, a second-generation salt, was even more unbearable. He moved his mouth but couldn't speak. The beads of sweat fell one after another, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling, like a prisoner who was about to go to the execution ground.

If Jia Ziming had not participated, he would definitely be afraid.

But now, he was constantly despising and mocking these younger generations who didn't know how to be rich on earth.

How can you do things without awe?

If I hadn't been quick to know the situation, wouldn't it be the same as them?

He thought about it and decided to scare the three of them again, "Oh, I've just found someone to investigate. It is said that Lord Bai was angry with us last night and sent a pigeon to the Governor's Office of Jiangnan overnight.

Lord Liu was also busy with disaster relief. Seeing that we were so resistant, he was furious and immediately ordered the inspector to investigate with the carrier pigeon... Lao Cai also spoke a little too much last night and was the first to be arrested."

"ah?"

Yuchi Hong swallowed: "First? We will be arrested too?"

"Catched!?"

Jiang Yuan next to him was so scared that he suddenly stood up, waved his hands like crazy and said, "No! No! I can't be caught! Dad... save me, Dad!"

Even though Long Yi was afraid and upset, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this.

Jiang Yuan’s father has been dead for more than ten years. How can he save him?

This stern idiot can actually be ranked fifth in the salt merchant? God has no eyes!

He didn't think about how much better he could be than Jiang Yuan?

In fact, if you say a thousand things, you can't blame these big salt merchants for being timid.

When you face a powerful person who can be completely unreasonable, just turn over the table, and confiscate you to exterminate your family and destroy your family, you will be the same.

After all, those who are indifferent to life and death and are not greedy for wealth are only a few of the few, let alone these big salt merchants who are used to enjoying wealth and glory.

Jia Ziming couldn't help frowning as he heard Jiang Yuan's hysterical screams:

"Xiao Jiang, shut up and sit down!"

Jia Ziming is not very angry on weekdays, but when he becomes so stern, Jiang Yuan suddenly becomes stunned and comes back to his senses.

Immediately, I felt exhausted and collapsed on the chair, looking like I had only my body left.

"Okay, you don't have to be too nervous." Jia Ziming said, "If Lord Liu wants to take us in one fell swoop, can we still sit here?"

"What do they mean?" Yuchi Hong asked.

"Are you just dealing with Lao Cai and raiding his home?" Long Yi asked with no conscience.

Even Jiang Yuan, who seemed to have lost his soul, looked at Jia Ziming with anticipation.

"Of course not."

Jia Ziming first denied everyone's dream, "This is just the beginning. No matter what Lao Cai's fate is, if we think we will rest assured, then at the latest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Park Jingmao will definitely appear in front of you with someone!"

Yuchi Hong nodded, "Old Jia, what should we do?"

"It's very simple."

Jia Ziming said, "Isn't it just 12 million taels? We paid for the salt ingot, which is enough."

"This is 12 million taels of silver!" Yuchi Hong screamed, "How much is our property? Where is enough?"

"You know whether you are enough or not." Jia Ziming said mercilessly, "If you want to die by yourself, do it early. Anyway, I am afraid of death, and I am afraid that my family will become beggars! I will immediately prepare the silver to buy my share."

Yuchi Hong's face turned red and white, and he wanted to speak a few words, but he remembered that Cai Xinfeng was dragged out of the mansion like a dog this morning, and all his courage disappeared.

Liu Renhuai personally took action. Unless your backstage is the emperor, even the three chiefs and deputy prime ministers would not forcefully order him to stop.

The first emperor's disciple is not the majesty that comes out!

Seeing that Yuchi Hong had softened, Long Yi could only say embarrassedly: "Can you still ask other people to buy salt and get it sold? Just let them make some money this year and two years, can we still get back to its original state in the future?"

"Long Yi, I originally thought that although you like to enjoy yourself, you still know the right way. I didn't expect you to be a fool!" Jia Ziming said bluntly: "Don't you know that it's easy to invite God to send him to God? If they also have a strong background and the contribution of active disaster relief this time, do you think our backstage will definitely be able to eat and live with them?

I dare not say anything else, as long as Liu Renhuai is in Jiangnan for one day... No, as long as Liu Renhuai is still an official, he will not allow anyone to destroy his role model to promote! Can your backstage be tougher than Liu Renhuai, do we still have to worry about it now?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Jia, you are right. I'm confused, confused!"

Long Yi was scolded so much that he could only apologize with a smile.

Because after his reason was restored, he also knew that what Jia Ziming said was reasonable.

Although the salt industry can make people get rich, the pond is so big that if others eat too much, they will eat less by themselves. This is very obvious.

If you come to a few more crossing river dragons, it is a question whether you can withstand it.

Even if you hold on, will it still be a loss?

"Xiao Jiang, what do you think?" Jia Ziming's sharp eyes turned to the last one.

Jiang Yuan was not very brave at first, but today he was scared one after another and had no courage.

Hearing this, he could only agree: "Everything is heard from Mr. Jia, we must all unite and overcome difficulties together!"

"good!"

Jia Ziming slapped the table and scared everyone: "We should work together so that we won't be afraid of others... Let's do this. I have been in the salt industry for almost fifty years, and my family is considered a little money.

I recognize the salt intake of three million taels of silver. Yuchi you two million taels, Long Yi and Xiao Jiang each have one.5 million taels, and the remaining four million taels will be claimed by the salt merchants below. If anyone doesn’t want to, we will drive him out of this business within a year!"

Yuchi Hong, Long Yi and Jiang Yuan looked at each other.

All three of them could see the distress in their eyes.
