When Zhang Tang heard this, he showed a contemptuous smile in his eyes, but his face still showed no expression, and suddenly he became serious: "Do you rely on those nerds? Forget it! If there are these unreasonable idiots, don't do anything.

You must understand that no matter what the doctors say, it has nothing to do with you. If you don’t care, just let the case be handled. What can they do to you?

Oh, for His Majesty’s new policy to be successful forever, what’s the harm of killing a few more people? There has never been any bloodless reform in history, and Shang Yang also ended up being dismembered."

"If those scholars insist on stopping them, what should we do?"

This question,

It's very stupid for Zhang Tang...

Zhang Tang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to them, don't argue, just pretend they don't exist, let's be the cows who play the piano against the cows."

...

Unconsciously, the time sequence had entered August of the fourth year of Yuanshuo (125 BC).

Sang Hongyang kept receiving reports from Xu Yan and others from counties and states, saying that since the implementation of currency reform, there has been a rebound in various places and is becoming increasingly fierce. It has even found that those who steal, make, and mint coins have caused millions of people, and hundreds of thousands of people have died over the years.

Although Sang Hongyang has a lot of experience, he has always been a serious person and will not make decisions too early. He has also served in the local area and has drawn some conclusions through long-term analysis.

In his opinion, those who minted coins must be the family of kings and princes. Ordinary counties have no choice but to convict them.

Anyone who smuggles salt must be a powerful man. He cannot do it without having a thousand gold coins, which will harm one side and the people of the world.

Now that so many suspects have been found all at once, it is terrible. Will there be unjust cases?

Could it be that these princes and powerful, bold and reckless, were going to take the imperial edict of His Majesty to carry out the wind of annexation and devouring?

Sang Hongyang's brows frowned. If this is the case, if you think about it carefully, wouldn't that go against His Majesty's original intention of implementing the new policy?

Alas, it's really rampant!

In the following days, Xu Yan and Chu Da sent another letter saying that the three censors held the imperial court talismans and arrived at the county and forced confessions and tempted them, as if they were violent to fight against violence. Although they were willing to remind them many times, it was a pity that the censors did not listen at all.

When the Hanoi prefect heard that the imperial envoy of the court was about to arrive, he committed suicide by hanging his beam under the pressure of all parties.

The county magistrate of Huguan County, Shangdang County, was afraid of the imperial envoy, and even went to a dead end. He simply tied his whole family with a rope and threw himself into the Yellow River.

But to count it, no one can tell whether these people committed suicide fearlessly, or were not able to make a false charge and were unable to turn the world back.

Gouzhu Mountain above Yanmen was originally a large steel production department for the imperial court to build weapons. What did the Censors do? In order to make contributions, they insisted that the workshop owners admitted that they had smelted iron without permission, but they were forced to jump off the furnace.

Seeing that this situation was frequent, Chu Da was afraid that an out of control would cause an uncontrollable situation and would endanger his wife and children, so he begged Sang Hongyang to let him return to Kyoto.

These two situations are intertwined, making Sang Hongyang feel that this matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed.

He hurriedly brought the documents and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Zhuang Qingzhai.

After hearing this, Zhuang Qingzhai Zhai felt very strange and frowned and said, "Yesterday, I heard the censor report to His Majesty that all counties and states are following the will and are investigating and punishing the case vigorously.

It was also said that several censors had done a good job in handling cases and confiscated a large number of private money-type models.

In just two months, the salt and iron official joint ventures swept the whole world like a hurricane.”

It's really a deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates...

Sang Hongyang's eyes turned pale and he said anxiously: "Think about it carefully, there are so many kings in the world, and those who can mint coins are only Huainan, Hengshan and other vassal states.

As for the suspects who smuggled salt without authorization, these tens of thousands of people are not a small number!"

After Sang Hongyang said this, Zhuang Qingzhai also noticed the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but suggest: "This... the matter came so suddenly. Lord Sang Hong... should he inform the censor first?"

Sang Hongyang listened,

So he was a little chilled,

He hurriedly said: "The Prime Minister is not unclear about the character of the Censor. He has always figured out the intentions of the emperor to report things and hoped that he would report these to His Majesty. I'm afraid..."

Before the following words were finished, Zhuang Qingzhai had already guessed the meaning.

"Okay! Then I'll just report to you directly."

...

Another rising sun rises,

During the morning court, as soon as the ministers stood still, Zhang Tang couldn't wait to be the first to leave the list and report to Liu Che.

"According to the report of the Censor who rushed to various places to investigate the case, some of the Hedong prefects did not comply with the law and said that the official business was inconvenient, which was even more harmful to the benefits of industry and commerce. They have been arrested and tried by the Tingwei Office.

This Kuaiji Prefect made great contributions to rectifying private salt. Thousands of people were detained and imprisoned, and even the prison could not accommodate them. Later, the prison searched and punished prisoners who were boiling salt in the official camp, which saved the court's expenses..."

Zhang Tang talked with relish, and Liu Che nodded frequently and believed it a little.

He immediately added an order: "The old saying goes: whipping should not be slacked at home, and punishment should not be abolished from the country. Anyone who violates the new policy should be punished with the law."

After Zhang Tang retreated, Liu Che asked loudly again: "Is the Grand Minister... here?"

Sang Hongyang hurriedly stepped out of the line to agree.

"Can you report something to me?"

Sang Hongyang hesitated for a moment and decided to report what he knew to Emperor Ming.

The reason why he did this was not only because of his duties, but also because he was honest and honest, and never had any handle on Zhang Tang's hands.

"I have something to report. What Lord Zhang said just now is slightly different from the facts."

"oh?"

As soon as he said that, he attracted Liu Che's attention, "What's the difference? Tell me about it!"

Sang Hongyang said: "I have received a message. According to documents sent by Taichang Doctor Chu Da, Xu Yan and others, many powerful counties and states used the edict of His Majesty, called it the official-private joint venture, but in fact it was annexed.

The tens of thousands of people investigated and punished by the court without permission, many of them were people hired by those private salt giants. If this continues, the court's virtue will be abolished."

These situations made Liu Che sound a little unhappy. He held back his temper and asked, "Is there any?"

Sang Hongyang continued: "According to Chu Da's report, the county and state also feel inconvenient to use new coins."

"Why is it inconvenient?"

"Reported by all counties and states, the kings and princes present the Cang Bi, with a discount of several thousand yuan, while a white deer skin coin is worth 400,000 yuan, which is a bit of an inverted cart."

"What else?"

"this……"

Just as Sang Hongyang was hesitating, Zhuang Qingzhai spoke. After he listed the situation of the Censor who forced the county magistrate to death in various places, he said with concern: "I am worried that civil strife will lead to this, so please be sure to observe clearly."
