Wu Minzhi winked at the salt merchant near the door. The salt merchant immediately got up and caught up in the footsteps of the same name: "Mr. Qi stays, if you have something to say, we have always shared weal and woe with the salt merchants. It is also a critical moment for the court to verify the salt tax, so you must not make any noise in it

Contradictions come! "

The same name turned around and glanced at the salt merchants in the hall: "I wanted to sell a good one to save your lives, but I didn't expect that you would still play with me when the disaster came. Anyway, I was not the one who was flustered in the end, everyone. Just do it for yourself."

"Mr. Qi is not anxious, if you have something to say, come in and sit down quickly." A few salt merchants stood up, and they invited the same name back to the room.

The same name picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and placed the tea cup heavily on the table: "Now, Chief Wu understands what I'm talking about?"

Wu Minzhi looked at the same name, and finally could only gritted his teeth and nodded: "I want to come to Mr. Qi to say that we secretly bid up the salt price, which caused the recent salt price increase, right?"

The same name hummed and slapped the table: "Wu Minzhi, what I'm talking about is not that you secretly bid up the salt price, but that you acted boldly and secretly planned with the government to replace salt with sand to make up for your salt tax. 'S deficit!"

Wu Minzhi's heart jumped: "Mr. Qi, don't talk nonsense, this is the crime of ransacking the family!"

"Since you don't repent, I don't have to say it," the same name looked at the other salt merchants, "you will be buried with this good leader!"

"Mr. Qi, don't worry," some salt merchants couldn't help but said directly to Wu Minzhi, "Leader Wu, Mr. Qi can inform us in advance that he wants to be with us and wants to save our lives. Don't be confused at this time."

Qingming turned his head and looked at Wu Minzhi with a smile, his eyes full of mockery.

Wu Minzhi sighed and bowed to the famous works: "Please forgive me, Mr. Qi, the matter is really involved. I was so flustered for a while that there was no way. I don't know where the husband got the news?" "Someone I wrote a secret letter about your secret exchange of mud and sand for salt, and sent it to Master Li, and the other party claimed to be able to produce full evidence." Qi Ming shook his head, "This time, Master Li was ordered to inspect Jiangnan Salt. Tax, I thought it would be good to sell, but I also let you read one

Remember the kindness of the Li family and the eldest prince, who ever thought you were bold enough to cause such a big disaster. "Mr. Qi, it is true that if there is a way, we are unwilling to do this. It is because the deficit in the salt tax is too large, and it has to be a last resort. I hope that the deficit can be offset in the name of buying salt this time. Who can? Thinking that something serious happened, I also asked Mr. Qi to give us some advice on how we should do it

Can Master Li raise his hand? "The same name sighed: "This matter is now not just how Master Li sees it, it seems that there are other people staring behind it, especially when writing a letter to Master Li to debunk the identity of the people who traded sand for salt. I don’t have the slightest clue to prevent Mr. Li from getting involved.

It is difficult to get out. There is only one clear way for you now, and that is to make up for the shortfall in salt tax with silver as soon as possible. "

Wu Minzhi frowned: "But Mr. Qi should also know that the sinking of the official salt ship has been spread, and now it can be said that everyone knows. At this time, I will take out silver to make up for the shortfall. Doesn’t it mean we have ghosts in our hearts?"

"I have told you the way. As for whether you can walk, it depends on your own meaning. I have already brought it. If you want to come, you should have something to discuss. I will not leave you too much. If you want to discuss it Now, you can come to Chunfeng Garden directly to find me."

A salt merchant was anxious, and was about to say something again, when he saw Wu Minzhi's eyes cast over him, he immediately stopped talking, and walked out with him.

Walking out of Chunfengyuan, Wu Minzhi motioned to a guard to observe in the dark, and then returned to his house with the salt merchants.

The atmosphere in the hall was exceptionally solemn. After a while, everyone spoke up:

"Leader Wu, how should we deal with it now?"

"Who might believe in the identity of the same name?"

"Yes, the road he pointed out to us is clearly unworkable right now, but he said it is a clear road. How should we go?" Wu Minzhi raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "I checked carefully. The seal on the post, the seal of Governor Liangjiang above is indeed true, and I have already sent people to investigate the identity of the same name. I can vaguely find out that he is related to the Grand Prince's Mansion. In other words, he is very likely to be Lord Li. Worship in advance

I came to Yangzhou City. "

"If this is the case, then we have to listen to him. After all, Governor Li of Liangjiang came to check the salt tax this time." Make up for the shortfall, and there will be no future incidents." The salt merchants of them have tens of millions of taels, and it’s no problem for each of them to take out a few millions taels, but it was too distressed before. Plus, the first few

When I checked the salt tax in the year, I was all safe and sound. I felt a little bit of negligence in my heart. If I didn't think about it for a moment, it caused a big mistake.

"Now we want to fill the shortfall, but we have already announced the sinking of the ship. We will fill it at this time. Don't we slap ourselves in the face?"

"Leader Wu, how do you think we should do it?"

Wu Minzhi's eyes are dark: "If you think about it, you will understand."

"The words of the same name?" Everyone looked at each other, and someone involuntarily repeated the words of the same name, "...There is only one clear road, and that is to make up for the missing salt tax with silver as soon as possible... There is only one clear road... Ming Road..."

Someone couldn’t hold back and suddenly realized: “There is only one open road, but there can be many hidden ones! Now we can’t make up for the shortfall with the open, which means that this road has been blocked, so the rest can only be Secretly figure out a way, Chief Wu, is my guess correct?"

"Yes." Wu Minzhi nodded and approved, "The identity of the same name is very likely to be true. Now what we should discuss is how to satisfy him so that Master Li can raise his hand."

The salt merchants couldn't help being silent, thinking secretly in their hearts. In fact, they know how many things are in their minds, and this is also the practice of checking salt taxes. Every time an imperial envoy is sent down, they must be given a couple of filial piety, but how much should be appropriate?

"Leader Wu, what do you think we should do?"

"Yeah, please show from Chief Wu. You are now the leader of the salt merchant. You have always had more ideas than us. We listen to you now."

"Leader Wu, please make an idea." Wu Minzhi motioned to everyone to calm down: "In fact, you should also understand that Lord Li belongs to the line of the Great Prince. Over the past two years, the Great Prince has repeatedly sent people to recruit us, but now, The situation in Kyoto is unclear. If we rashly seek refuge in other people’s pockets, we have yet to express our attitude. But now the form is different. The open road is not clear, but there are still one or two secret roads, and we need to take them together. Idea."
