Remember in one second, wonderful novels can be read at any time, mobile phone users please visit.

Liu Bei was stationed in Ganyu, only two hundred li away from Tanxian County. Two days later, Yumei was sent to his camp.

When Liu Bei got it, he liked it very much. He showed it in the book and said, "This is what my brother gave me." At night, the jade beauty was placed in the white silk tent, and from the outside, it was like snow gathering under the moon. In the daytime, he lectures on soldiers, and at night, he sleeps together.

Xun Zhen heard about it, and said to the left and right: "My brother loves this, and all the people in the middle and upper regions of the prefecture are with it."

The prefectures and prefectures competed for delivery, in ten days, and even more than a hundred. The length was more than two feet, and the short was a tree inch. The shapes and colors were different, and the quality of jade was different, such as spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum. , but it was still the one that Xun Zhen passed on to him. This is a later story, but there is no need to mention it.

Mi Fang thanked Xun Zhen for his "enjoyment", and the next day moved into the hospital office specially vacated for him by the state government. While starting to do some preparatory work.

There are three kinds of preparatory work.

This is the first one to list all the salt-boiled sea-boilers in the coastal counties and those with more than 500 children.

Together with the Chief Salt Officer and Chief Salt Officer of the four counties in the state, including the State Bookkeeper Cao Zai and Qin Song, based on the actual situation and the situation registered in the book, according to the number of these salt rich families, they will be ranked high and low. , this is the second one.

This is the third type of writing "A" or "B", or "C" and "Ding" after Yanhao's name. "A" does not mean the richest, but when the salt factory is collected, this person is most likely to resist, "B" is second, "C" is second, until "D", "Ding" "It was Mi Fang and the salt officials who agreed that they were the least likely to rebel against the state capital.

The list was clear and marked, and Mi Fang presented the list to Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen took a closer look and saw that there were a total of seventeen people's names listed in the book. Four were from Donghai, eleven were from Langya, and two were from Guangling. There are five people, and there are four people marked with the word "D".

Of the four salt officials in Xuzhou, only one is located in Donghai and Guangling, and that is Quxian Yanguan located in Mifang's hometown, and the remaining three are all in Langya. Therefore, Langya has the most big salt officials, followed by Donghai and Guangling the least. . Of the five Yanhaos marked with the character "Jia", four were from Langya, the remaining one was from Mi Fang's hometown, and there was no one in Guangling.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "Five hard bones, four of which are in Langya. I need to send a letter to Zhongren and ask him to be more vigilant in the near future."

There are only a few Yan Hao in the area, and it is not worth being too cautious. Xun Zhen asked Xun Cheng to strengthen the guard, mainly to guard against the Taishan soldiers.

Taishan soldiers have been rampant in Langya for many years. It is conceivable that in order to protect their own interests, those salt lords along the coast will be willing to go against their will, and they will be attached to Zang Ba and Sun Guan. Now Zang Ba has been transferred out of Langya, Xun Cheng They entered Kaiyang, and drove most of the Taishan soldiers to the north and east of the county. It is expected that many of them will be resentful, but it is necessary to prevent them from mixing with Yanhao and setting off a rebellion. A little Yan Haosheng is not worth mentioning, but if the Taishan soldiers get involved, it will take some effort.

Xun Zhen asked, "Have you decided what price to buy the salt workshops of the various families?"

It is said that the salt mill is collected for the state, and it is not possible to give out a penny, but still have to take some money out.

Mi Fang replied: "Fang and the others have gone through a careful business process, and my humble opinion is that you can buy the salt stored in various salt warehouses at the market price, and buy the fields and utensils for cooking salt at one time of the market price. For children, you can also buy them at double the market price.”

The reason why Mi Zhu offered the salt workshop and asked Mi Fang to be the commander of the chief salt department was because he was afraid that he would cause disaster with his family. However, Mi Fang now wanted to follow Xun Zhen, but it was mainly because he had a desire to "attach the emperor". When working for Xun Zhen, he would inevitably try to show his loyalty. Therefore, when discussing with the salt officials at what price to buy the salt mills of various salt giants, he insisted on a low price.

The prices he reported to Xun Zhen now were all strongly advocated by him.

Honestly, these are pretty low prices.

Not to mention that if you buy salt-boiled farms, utensils and children at twice the market price, you will buy it at ten times the price, and I am afraid that no one will sell it. The salt industry is hugely profitable, and there is always a risk that it will not be sold. From the emperor to the Qianshou, everyone has to eat salt, and he cannot live without it for a day. There is only insufficient salt, and there is no salt that cannot be sold. Just imagine who Would you be stupid enough to sell this cash cow?

After hearing the prices mentioned by Mi Fang, Xun Zhen said: "Double the market price is too low, so you can buy it at three times. It is also passed down to all salt families who have no other business, if they don't want money, the prefecture can also buy it. In other words, and also, all the sons and daughters of the Yan family who have talents and names, establish the prefectures and the shogunate, or establish the county, and try them out, and those with outstanding talents will be regarded as the Lang or the Commander.”

"Lang", the official in the imperial court. "Chief", magistrate or magistrate.

If we want to take away other people's economic interests, we must compensate them in terms of political interests.

Mi Fang replied, "Yes." He said, "Ming Gong is kind and generous, I think this is a good thing, and all the salt families will be enthusiastic to offer workshops."

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "If that's the case, it would be the best. ... Zi Fang, have you chosen which county to go to first?"

The dozen or so salt giants listed on the list were distributed in the coastal counties within the three counties of Langya, Donghai, and Guangling. It was impossible for Mi Fang to visit all of these counties at the same time, but to go to one place first. He replied, "Yuyi will go to Quxian first."

Quxian was Mi Fang's hometown and the place he was most familiar with, so he could go first.

Xun Zhen said, "I see that one of the five people listed with the word 'A' is a fellow from Qing's hometown. Is Qing familiar with him?"

"Old acquaintance when I was young."

"Can you be sure to convince him to sell the salt mill?"

"Fang does her best."

"Such a person refuses to sell the salt mill, what should Qingyi do?"

"If it doesn't work out, national affairs outweigh personal feelings."

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "Estimated the distance, Yao Ban should be able to reach Tan County tomorrow. After he arrives, Qing will meet him first, and then go to Qu County. I am in the prefecture, Hou Qing. Good news."

Mi Fang fell to the ground and said, "I will live up to the Lord's responsibility!"

In the afternoon of the next day, Yao Sang went to Tan County and went to the Fuzhong to meet Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen made a point in person, told him the importance of the salt to the state government's finances, told him to be careful, and discuss with Mi Fang more in case of trouble, and said to him: "Qing is not a filthy person, you should be of the same mind with Si Yan. , Every time there is a lot of discussion, you need to make a decision. If something is difficult to resolve, the minister and Si Yan have a dispute, and if they are not as good as Zhangzhou, the minister needs to follow Si Yan’s will.”

Yao Ban agreed.

"Although you are ordered to go with the ministry, if you can't move swords, it's better not to use swords."

"Yes."

"And if there are people who are stubborn and unrepentant, they should be like cutting chaos!"

"promise!"

After instructing Yao Ban, Xun Zhen told him to report to the Siyanyuan to find Mi Fang.

Mi Fang and Yao Fan had met each other. They both had similar hometowns and both knew each other's clan names and age. Early the next morning, the two bid farewell to Xun Zhen and went to Quxian with six hundred soldiers.

There was no airtight wall, so Xun Zhen was interested in salt, and it didn't take long for it to spread in the prefecture, and soon, it spread to the county.

In Langya County, Changxi was stationed outside the city of Ju County.

When Chang Xi heard the news, he was furious.

Yin Li was a guest in his camp at the right time, and he was also shocked and angry.

Chang Xi slapped the table a few times, stood up, took out the sword from his waist, swung it in his hand, and slashed a few times in the air in front of him. Li said: "Xuan Gao has been called out of Langya, and I have been driven out of Kaiyang, and now I have received Yanzhou Ju, how can Xun Zhendong humiliate me like this one after another!"

But as Xun Zhen expected, Chang Xi and other Taishan generals were indeed close to the Yanhao in Langya County. Although they did not get involved in this business, the Yanhao in the county would send them a lot of money every year. This wealth can not only ensure their brocade clothes and jade food, but also supplement the military. It can be used to make friends with confidants, to reward warriors, to expand tribes, and to recruit desperate people. It can be said that the salt giants gave them This wealth accounts for a very small proportion of their military budget.

Now that Xunzhen is about to take possession of Yanfang Prefecture, and the salt giants along the coast are not doing well, Changxi is furious.

Yin Li also said angrily, "It's too much to deceive people!"

There is another reason for Yin Li's anger: although Changxi's resident Juxian is more northeast than Kaiyang, it is at least in the hinterland of Langya and not connected to Beihai. His resident counties, next to Beihai, are in the At the border between Langya and Beihai, the Yellow Turbans in Beihai are often invaded. The soldiers in his army are shocked every day, and sometimes even he is restless, lest the Yellow Turbans attack the camp. Thinking about the happy days in Kaiyang, look at it again. At the moment, Yin Li was not particularly dissatisfied with Xun Zhen at first, but since he arrived in the counties, his resentment increased day by day.

Chang Xi said: "I can see it clearly. Xun Zhendong is killing people with a slow knife. First, we will be separated, and then he will be sent to the county. If you want me to wait outside the country to fight the Yellow Turbans, I will kill you with a sword!"

"You're right!"

"If you agree, you and I will now send our relatives to Yangdu to see Sun Guan, and then to Yinping to see Xuan Gao! And Wu Dun and Sun Kang, also send people to see them."

"Meet the four of them? You want to?"

Chang Xi said fiercely: "There are dozens of salt giants along the coast of Xuzhou. If Xun Zhendong wants to go to the middle of Yanzhou, it will definitely stir up the salt change! I can take the opportunity to take back Langya!"

Although Yin Li was angry, when he heard Chang Xi's words, he was shocked, and hesitantly said: "Zhendong's army is strong, in the past when we were not divided, Xuan Gao thought that we couldn't fight a battle, but now Xuan Gao is in Yinping, away from the army. Hundreds of miles away from Langya, I and others are stationed in several counties, and we rashly raise troops, fearing that we will be defeated by Zhendong one by one, and it will be too late to regret it!”

Chang Xi looked down on Yin Li's courage, looked at him with contempt, and said, "Even though we have been divided and Xuan Gao is stationed in Yin Ping, don't forget that Yin Ping is next to Pengcheng! Yesterday I received a report that Xun Zhendong Ask Xue Pengcheng for 200,000 stone grains and ask him to send it to the state capital!"

"200,000 stone? Can Xue Pengcheng give it away?"

"He didn't want to send it. Gan Ning, the commander of Pengcheng, took Xun Zhendong's order, brought dozens of soldiers, broke into his dormitory, and asked him when he would send the food, so he was about to force him with a sword! I have no choice but to respond, and now the food is almost reaching the state capital."

Yin Li sighed and said, "Xue Pengcheng's current situation is similar to mine!" He thought to himself, "If I did not sit and watch with Xue Pengcheng, and work together with Tao Gong to control the east of Xunzhen, ... maybe Victory or defeat is not yet known." It was too late to regret.

"Isn't that true? That's why I said that Xuan Gao is now Yin Ping! If you can move Xue Pengcheng, Yanhao along the coast will join forces to contain Xun's army in the three counties. In the west of the prefecture, attacking Tanxian County directly, raising the flag of Tao Gong together, calling on the heroes of the prefecture to fight together, even if Xuzhou still cannot be captured, it is always possible to retreat to Baolangya.”

Chang Xi's remarks were inspiring, and Yin Li couldn't help but feel a little excited, but the last sentence "Even if you can't capture Xuzhou, you can always retreat to Bao Langya", revealed that Chang Xi was still lacking in confidence. .

He is also self-aware. He used to shout for the capture of Xuzhou, but now the troops from Mount Tai have been dispersed by Xun Zhen, and Xun Cheng has settled in Langya again. I just want to be able to recapture Langya to occupy it separately.

Yin Li thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chang Xi was right. As long as Yanhao rebelled and Pengcheng sent troops, it was really possible to retake Langya.

He said: "Xuan Gao said earlier: Yuan Benchu ​​declared Zhou Ang as the prefect of Yuzhou, and he would definitely fight against Sun Yuzhou, and Zhendong would definitely help Yuzhou. If he really wants to do it, I can wait and wait for Xun When Zhendong dispatched troops to help Sun Wentai~www.wuxiamtl.com~ let's fight with Yan Hao from both sides!"

Chang Xi agreed and said, "Just do it!"

Yin Li added: "It's just that Xun Zhendong has sent Mi Fang to Quxian County, and the matter of Juyan has already spread. Now I'm afraid that Yanhao will not be able to bear it and will cause chaos now."

"Isn't it easy to do? You and I can send people to see the Yan Hao in Langya first, and make a close bond with them, tell them to stay calm, and wait until the day when Xun Zhendong dispatches troops, and then we will do things together!"

"Good! Good! In this way, not only can I join forces with Yanhao, but Xun Zhendong will also worry about Yanhao's troubles, so now should be the time when he is most alert, but if Yanhao shows no resistance The meaning of salt, as I expected, he will definitely relax, which is also beneficial to us."

"Qing Yan is very true! ... Xun Zhendong pretended to send me some things every three or five places. Although you and I are not rude, but we can follow suit! Not only reminded Yanhao, but now they must not resist salt. Moreover, you and I can also send people to the prefecture from time to time to greet Xun Zhendong and give him some gifts to show his obedience, which will definitely make him more relaxed!"

"Yes, yes. When sending people to the prefecture, I also stopped by to meet Tao Gong."

Chang Xi was arrogant and arrogant, remembering that whenever he expressed dissatisfaction with Xun Zhen, he would always be stopped by Zang Ba, so he used his sword to say, "How can my husband be despised! It will be painful to take back Langya in the future. At the banquet, I want to ask Xuan Gao, but are you still afraid of Xun Zhendong?"

The two agreed that they should send their cronies to meet Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and Sun Kang separately, and tell them what they think.
