The three big words "Salt Fadao" on the plaque of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Office in the city are shining under the scorching sun. Several people are talking in private in the inner flower hall.

"According to Eunuch Liu's intention, he should first take back some of the salt entries. The emperor approved his memorial and reorganize the salt entries." Yan Ming said worriedly.

Jasven's eyes froze: "How to do it?"

Chen Sanguan looked at the account book: "The original one entries were replaced by today's one ticket, and it remained unchanged for more than 100 kilograms per month, but in the past, I could only buy a salt entries for only 100 taels. I will operate it for a long time, but now I need one thousand taels."

Jaswen thought: "This is definitely not Liu Zhiyuan's idea. Jia Cong is a traitor and loyal person. He must be planning behind the scenes."

As one of the think tanks of Jiangzuo League, Jaswen once made Jia Cong suffer a great loss and almost knocked him off the cliff. Now he insists on it as soon as he comes.

Yan Ming frowned and said, "You mean that this news is not good for us and Prince Zhongshun? But Eunuch Liu used different ways to collect money. He had to accept it anyway. It would be better for everyone to look good on the face, and the emperor could reply... In this way, we have to submit memorials to criticize him?"

Jaswen raised his hands behind his back and paced back and forth, and made a decision: "No, this Jia Cong has an extraordinary life experience. After coming from the Duke's Mansion, I thought about it hard but couldn't defeat him. At this time, he had no major problems. Prince Zhongshun could not tell the emperor that the enemy was secret and I was open to him. Direct attacks were taboos."

"What should we do?" Yan Ming thought: "There are often problems with river management. Where is Liu Dongsheng's job in the Censorate, he cannot interfere with it."

"As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. Jia Cong is even more famous today. As soon as the inspector of Jiangsu arrived, Thunder handled the Wuzhou. When I passed by Qingjiangpu, many people were chanting. He also raised money to manage the river. The most powerful person is that Liu Bei threw his children, bought people's hearts, and was deeply scheming, so he should not be underestimated."

After hearing what Jaswen said, everyone's premonition was not good, but he suddenly changed his mind: "As for accepting bribes, it is not a crime. Everyone is the same. It will be bad if they reveal their scars. However, asking for bribes can become an additional condition at that time. Let's not touch him now and live in harmony. If you want to collect the cash, let him collect it..."

"But..." Chen Sanguan said distressedly: "After converting this salt ticket, we..."

"Isn't there any private salt?" Jaswen waved his hand and pressed: "Prince Chen, I know that you are rich businessmen in Huizhou, hardworking and frugal, and will also study. Otherwise, the wealth of Huizhou people will not be the best in the world. The salt merchants, who are involved in countless officials, even princes, will attack each other and put their hats down, and Liu Zhiyuan will not be panicked? What should he do at that time? Shift the responsibility and shirking responsibility. As long as we add a little bit of fire, they will turn against each other. The salt law will still be our world."

"Looking at the long term, what is this point in front of you compared to the harvest of decades? The bigger the trouble, the better."

Jaswen was determined. Thinking of the deaths of Jiang Huajiao, Luo Min, Xu Youzhen and others, he felt a chill and dared not underestimate Jia Cong.

However, Yan Ming and others became awe of him. Jaswen is not only a master of eight-legged essays, but also a smart and skillful person who enters the officialdom. In the future, he will definitely be the candidate for joining the cabinet. As expected, Zhejiang East is full of talents.

...

"When I go back to my godfather, if I continue, the silver notes from Lianghuai can be sold for 300,000 taels."

In another imperial envoy, a fat eunuch reported to him with the account book.

"This 300,000 is not enough..." Liu Zhiyuan was a little dissatisfied, and then smiled: "This method is really good. The emperor listened to our family. When our family got the Lianghuai salt tickets, he said the price was as much as possible!"

"Godfather, I'm afraid that the court officials of the Ministry of Revenue will talk nonsense..." Another thin eunuch was carefully feeding the rock sugar soup sold from Guangdong.

"They dare not see who our family is..." Liu Zhiyuan touched the official seal with his left hand, his eyes were hot. The emperor's trust, power, and money rolled in, made him feel extremely happy and reluctant: "This is just a part of the salt tract. Our family doesn't have that much time to spend, so it's faster..."

...

In the southeast of Gaoyou Lake, the northeast of Shaobo Lake, Cheluo Town, which is bordered by the Grand Canal of the North and South, gathers all the carriages. Since the Gaoyou flood, Cheluo Town quickly established a river defense yamen, set up a river channel judge, procurator, inspection department, go north to Gaoyou, south to Jiangdu, and west to Xinghua artificial canal, which is a prosperous city.

In the alley of the magistrate's yamen, Wu San Ge handed Jia Cong a few books to Jia Cong. Jia Cong got out of the sedan chair and closed it casually, put it in his sleeve, and went to the yamen. The gatehouse stood solemnly to welcome him, but Jia Cong was too lazy to go and see it.

He went straight into the lobby and sat in the Grand Master's chair. Gu Tongzhi smiled and came out straight to the point: "Gu Tongzhi, you are safe, it's hard to manage the river and money."

"Yes, yes, I have always performed my duties conscientiously. The court orders have been urging Gaoyou River every day. What are the instructions? "Gu Tongzhi was also sweating all over his body. As soon as he received the report of increasing the responsibility system, he restrained a lot. He was a fifth-rank official, but he had to laugh at Jia Cong and a seventh-rank official, and who told him that he was in charge of the current situation?

"Of course there are instructions." Jia Cong took out the account book from his sleeve, which read five big words "Cheluo Town River Defense Camp": "Do you know this? It took me a lot of effort to see it."

"Sir..." Gu Tongzhi shivered all over: "What do you want? If you give me a low position, you will never refuse!"

When the patrol arrived, the eight palaces trembled and the Taoist platforms were all stepped down. How could Gu Tongzhi not be afraid?

"Don't worry, I don't want much." Jia Cong stretched out his hand, touched the beam of the black hat on Gu Tongzhi's head, and sighed: "I have studied hard for ten years, and I have been in and out of the imperial court countless times. I have been defeated in all my culture and promoted to the common people. I just want such a hat. However, this hat is not necessarily stable. Sometimes, it falls off without realizing it. Unfortunately, it is a pity that I am the same as Gu Tongzhi. The emperor's destiny is above the top and the public's opinion is below. Today I don't want ten thousand taels of gold, nor do I want a beautiful wife and concubine. I just want your black hat. How about borrowing me from March?"

"This...this..." Gu Tongzhi stammered down: "How can the imperial court order officials to borrow words?"

"Do you disagree?" Jia Cong pinched the account book, his eyes cold: "You have been suspended for three months. If you don't do this, I will really participate."

If Jia Cong acts as soon as he impeaches, the local official who is impeached must be suspended. This is the terrible thing about the censor. When he sees Jia Cong's fierce and evil eyes again, Gu Tongzhi has to take off his official hat and robe in depression and respect.

"Jia Yun, you will take over this Tongzhi official service for three months and will fully handle the river defense of Gaoyou and Jiangdu." Jia Cong left no room for nothing: "Tongzhi Yin is handed over!"

Jia Yun stayed there and took a while to answer and receive the order.

Jia Congli sat up, Gu Tongzhi dispersed his head, rolled and crawled to his legs and feet: "Sir, I am humble, I will definitely save my life..."

"Do your business well!" Jia Cong said lightly, kicked Gu Tongzhi away, and then brushed his sleeves out. Sun Fu and others were stunned for a few seconds. From then on, none of them dared to play tricks in front of Jia Cong.
