After transmigrating into cannon fodder, he had sex with the villain

The emperor was very happy when he heard it. Looking at the courtiers who were upright and upright, the emperor sneered: "Pry the roots of my great Zhou Dynasty? But I started a salt merchant, why didn't I know it was so serious? Could it be that the life of this salt merchant is more important than mine? Why not change the surname of the Great Zhou Dynasty to Jin."

"Your Majesty!" In an instant, there were a lot of people kneeling down below. This matter was too serious, but those guys said it was too serious, as if their Great Zhou Dynasty was supported by salt merchants. Because of the interests of some people, they joined forces to get Gu Zhao and Gu Mu down.

"I don't dare." The leading official shouted hurriedly.

"Don't dare? I think you are very daring. I just fed up the appetite of these salt merchants. One by one, they regard themselves as local emperors, and even extend their hands into the court!"

"I have long heard how rich the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are. They can sprinkle gold leaves into the sea. Where did they get so much gold and silver? It was given by the imperial court policy. The imperial court can give it to them, and it can also take it back!"

"Your Majesty, there will be a salt shortage!"

"I don't know, people in the world rely on these salt merchants for their salt. Before these salt merchants, would people in the world have no salt to eat?"

"Your Majesty, you can draw it slowly."

"Then watch the salt merchant climb on the heads of the courtiers, and then drag them into the water one by one, and find a way to kill those who can't be dragged into the water? Just like Liu Shilian who refused to join forces seven years ago?"

Who dares to continue these words?Someone looked up at Mr. Yao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, but found that Mr. Yao kept his eyes down from the beginning to the end, and seemed indifferent to their quarrel. They couldn't help being startled. Is there really no way to stop it?

There are also courtiers who are sincerely worried: "Your Majesty, the price of salt in the south of the Yangtze River is fluctuating greatly. If it continues like this, something will happen sooner or later."

At this time Yao Shoufu moved, turned his hand and took out a booklet, holding it in both hands: "Your Majesty, I just received a booklet from Lord Li, the magistrate of Yaocheng."

"Read!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yao Shoufu coughed lightly, then opened the notebook and began to read. Although he was not young, his voice clearly reached the ears of every minister.

The ministers were puzzled at first, what are you doing reading Mr. Li's book at this time, and some people looked at Li Changgeng, the anger on Li Changgeng's face has not yet subsided, yes, just now, several ministers went towards his nephew, what is wrong with him? The face is strange, the magistrate of Yaocheng is also Gu Zhao's second uncle, what is the purpose of reading his notes at this time?

A hint of doubt also flashed across Li Changgeng's face. He was not very clear about the affairs of Yao Cheng and Jiangnan. If the matter is not handled well, in order to silence the ministers, Gu Zhao and the others might be attacked.

But listening, not only Li Changgeng, but other ministers also showed shock. After Li Changgeng was shocked, he breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Gu Mu dared to make such a big disturbance in Jiangnan. It turned out that he had confidence. Jiangnan wants to mobilize more than one salt merchant, that is to shake the foundation of all salt merchants.

Li Changgeng immediately looked at the other ministers, and sure enough, he saw the shock and anger on the faces of many people. Obviously, these people had interests with the salt merchants. Gu Zhao and Gu Mu took them It's all screwed up.

After the scriptures were read, discussions started buzzing in the hall.

"Sea salt drying method? What is that? It's not always boiled salt."

"As far as the yield of sun-dried sea salt in Yaocheng is concerned, which one is better than boiling salt?"

Some ministers who have been concerned about the salt industry and studied by the Ministry of Industry twitched their mouths when they heard such a question, and Mr. Ge, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, this method of sun-drying salt produces more salt than boiling salt." The method is more than several times, how about the quality of the salt?"

"Master Ge, the veteran has personally seen it, and the quality is only above that."

"Haha, don't worry, the old man." Ge Shangshu stroked his beard and retreated. Hearing this, he understood that not only the output is large, but the quality is high, and the cost is obviously much lower than the method of boiling salt. The matter was nothing at all, because Li Changshuo's notes had already stated how much salt he had transported to the south of the Yangtze River. With all this salt, why would he be afraid that the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River would make trouble?

The emperor looked coldly at the ministers who had shouted the loudest before: "I don't know what else do you want to say?"

This... These ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. This incident was not what they expected at all, and the entire salt merchant was about to die, so what should they do?

And looking at this situation, His Majesty clearly knew about it a long time ago, perhaps all of this was ordered by His Majesty.

The emperor sneered again: "You have nothing to say, I have something to say, I said before that I have grown the appetite of these salt merchants, and regarded myself as the emperor of the local land, not only doing whatever I want in the local area, but also reaching into the court, It's really courageous to point fingers at the affairs of the court!"

"Why does Gu Mu want to touch the salt merchants? They deserve to die. They have committed a heinous crime, but you all plead for them one by one. Are you with them?"

"His Majesty……"

"Shut up, I don't want to listen to you now," the emperor yelled and interrupted them, "Why does Gu Mu want to run that salt merchant surnamed Jin? I'm here to tell you now, come and read the things Gu Mu sent up." One thought."

"Old minister, come." Yao Shoufu took the initiative to take over the job, and the emperor nodded and handed over the things to him.

It was not the first time for Yao Shoufu to look at this thing, but once he saw it, it was shocking. Gu Mu had a good temper for not beheading the salt merchant directly, and he couldn't help being irritable after seeing it.

What Yao Shoufu was thinking about was the situation of the salt workers in the private salt farms that Gu Mu and Mr. Tong had asked them to count. Where did they come from, why did they become illegal salt workers, and how many salt workers there are now? People died from sickness, whipping, or exhaustion.

Many ministers' necks were strangled, and they couldn't make a sound. No wonder Gu Mu dared to arrest the salt merchant surnamed Jin in Jiangnan, and confiscated his home. It turned out to be the entire private salt factory surnamed Jin. The paper was copied, and this private salt market is even bigger than the official salt market.

After Yao Shoufu finished reading, he sighed, then stepped aside and did not speak.

The emperor had something to say: "What else do you have to say now? You are pleading for such a thing? Let me and the people of Dazhou be blackmailed by such a thing?"

No one dared to speak anymore, and whoever dared to say a word for the salt merchant surnamed Jin would probably be dragged out by the emperor to be chopped down in the next moment.

Listen to the content in the brochure, a local ruffian, just because he liked the sister of Xiucai and wanted to take it back by force, the woman was forced to hang herself to death. They were secretly transferred to the private salt farm, and the civil servants present all sighed. At this moment, they can personally feel His Majesty's mood. Who can bear to ask a scoundrel to climb on top of their scholars and do whatever they want?

After retiring from the imperial court, the emperor and cabinet ministers were still busy, and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs also called in. Now that the law of drying salt in seawater has been made public, how to collect salt tax and how the policy of the salt industry should be adjusted.

And those who desperately wanted to pull Gu Zhao and Gu Mu down did not have a good face and a good mood after retreating from the court. They never expected that there would be a sea salt drying method, which is not only more convenient but also the output seems to be particularly large. Thinking of this New things appeared one after another in the capital, such as cement, glass products, soap and Eucommia gum in front of them, it was hard for them not to think about Gu Zhao, did this guy come up with it again?Was it laid out a long time ago?Otherwise, why is it so coincidental that the prefect of Yaocheng is Gu Zhao's second uncle Li Changshuo?If someone else went to Yaocheng, it would be impossible to cooperate with Gu Zhao so closely.

The ones who were hit the hardest were King Ning and Yan Xiangjin. Jiangnan and the salt merchants were almost their wallets, but now they were directly cut off by these two bastards, Gu Zhao and Gu Mu, and they were against them everywhere. Yan Xiangjin was so angry Vomiting blood, when he takes over, the first ones to deal with are these two bastards, no matter what skills they have.

As for the salt workers in the private salt field, they are nothing more than a few untouchables. When he comes to power, the whole world will belong to him, Yan Xiangjin.

This court meeting is over, Gu Zhao and Gu Mu, two people who are far away from the capital and live in the south of the Yangtze River, once again caused an uproar in the capital. Everyone who knew what they did in the south of the Yangtze River was surprised, but for the middle and lower class people, they clapped their hands Applause.

"I heard no. The price of salt in the south of the Yangtze River has risen a wave and then dropped rapidly. The price of salt is now cheap."

"How cheap is it? No matter how cheap it is, I don't think it will be much cheaper."

"Hey, you don't know this, do you? I heard from a businessman who just came from Jiangnan that the official salt over there now only sells for fifteen yuan a catty. Isn't that cheap enough?"

"Really? Could it be mixed with stones? When will such cheap salt come to our capital?"

"I heard that there was a quarrel in the palace over this matter, and later I heard that a new method of salt production was used there. The salt produced by that method is large and good, so the price will drop. This method remains the same, and we will all be able to eat this cheap salt in the future.”

"That's really great. The more such good things are, the better."

Rich families don't care about the price of salt, even if they can afford a tael of silver a catty of salt, what they care about is nothing more than Gu Zhao and Gu Mu's big moves in the south of the Yangtze River, which amazes people.

"They offended half of the court this time, right? How many of the remaining half of the court will have a good impression of them?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Look at those young people who have just entered the officialdom and those who are preparing to enter the officialdom. Now they worship these two very much." Many people regard Gu Zhao and Gu Mu as representatives who are not afraid of power .

"Even if offended, Gu Zhao has his own skills, even if he does not become an official and goes into business, he can still make a lot of money."
