Chapter 162 Reaction
The new official took office for three times. Although Yang Yanzhang issued a strict method of senile detention, because the Yuzhishi had many regulations, which was even worse than the method of senile detention. Therefore, the soldiers of the Yuzhishi army did not have much resistance to this order, but responded in unison.
In marching and fighting, it is naturally impossible to have only punishment but no reward. Therefore, after talking about the system of joint seats, Yang Yanzhang mentioned some reward measures, which greatly mobilized the morale of the Yuzhi Army.
Later, taking advantage of the period of high spirits, Yang Yanzhang trained the soldiers of the Yuzhi Army, but he found that the Yuzhi Army, who had all the physical training, was stronger than he thought.
Nearly two thousand people, each of them has strong strength, but the most terrifying thing is that they are disciplined and well-cooperated. The uniform actions of nearly two thousand warriors seem too shocking.
"With this army here, why worry about not being invincible in the world?"
The training of the Yuzhi Army made Yang Yanzhang feel excited. Now these Yuzhi Army have just entered the Jing Refining Realm. If they have improved their cultivation level more and become the essence of Jing Refining, or even the bone forging realm, he would not believe that there is any other army in the world that can block the Yuzhi Army's iron hooves.
"The position of the God of War is within reach!"
At this moment, Yang Yanzhang seemed to have seen what happened after he brought the Yuzhi army to unify the world and leave his name in history. He even imagined that historians in later generations were holding his information and arguing there whether he was the world's number one military god.
"It's over, I'm stupid again."
Looking at Yang Yanzhang who was silly, Lu Song, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but curl his lips helplessly. If he didn't know, he would have thought he was following a fool.
...
Just as Yang Yanzhang was training the Imperial Army, the news that Mo Zizai had all the merchants imprisoned finally spread.
This news caused a significant earthquake among the officials.
In the mansion of Zhao Baiyang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhao Baiyang, sat at the desk and listened to the news coming from his servants, his face was very gloomy.
"He has arrested all the more than 100 merchants in the capital, and the priest was also imprisoned by him."
"Okay, okay...it's so good!!!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Baiyang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He suddenly pushed a handful of precious pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and he immediately swept to the ground.
The businessmen in the entire capital had to give him filial piety to the Ministry of Revenue as long as they wanted to do business, so these arrested businessmen had more or less contact with him Zhao Baiyang.
And half of the money he has saved over the years comes from these businessmen.
Now Mo Zizai arrested all these people, and also arrested the priest who collected money from below. This was undoubtedly cutting off his financial path, and he could not help but be angry.
What made him most angry was that he could not do anything now and did not dare to do anything.
On weekdays, even if the emperor arrested all these merchants, he would dare to go to the Golden Palace to argue with reason and force the emperor to release these merchants in the name of righteousness.
But it doesn't work now. Now he dares not say anything, because the person arrested the person was Mo Zizai, and Mo Zizai was so unreasonable!!!
He had no doubt that he dared to plead for these businessmen, and Mo Zizai dared to chop him up, and there would be no hesitation at all.
In the eyes of that madman, he was a third-rank official, no different from the wild dogs on the roadside. He could kill him as soon as he wanted, and there was no estimate at all.
Thinking of this, Zhao Baiyang became even more angry. He was a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and was backed by the Jiangnan family. Mo Zizai was just a waste born in the imperial family, so why could he control his life at will!
"Don't be free, don't be free..."
Zhao Baiyang gritted his teeth and recited these three words. I thought that if Mo Zizai suddenly appeared in front of him, he would go up and eat his meat without hesitation.
"The head of the family, Mo Zizai did not touch all the merchants."
Seeing Zhao Baiyang's appearance, the housekeeper who was worried that he would be angry quickly spoke up and said, "He didn't move any of the people in the Caoyun side, so we still have some income to keep."
"He didn't move the canal transportation?"
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Baiyang calmed down a little, "It seems that this waste has not yet reached the home. The canal transportation is the lifeblood of the capital. If the canal merchants are arrested, then the capital will not be able to have it."
The canal merchants mentioned by Zhao Baiyang and the butler were not merchants who traded through canal transportation, but specifically those who were responsible for canal transportation. The business transactions on the canal were all transported by them.
In some periods, they were also called Cao Gang when they were connected, but the gangs formed several times later were broken up by the government. Later, these people in charge of Cao Gang transport worked independently and never formed gangs again.
Therefore, people now call them Caoshang.
Most of these canal merchants have close contact with officials, so they basically have control over all the transportation business on the canal. Many times, even the official goods are paid to them for transportation.
Therefore, they asked for a very bad price, and basically half of the profits of a ship of goods were taken away by them.
Therefore, all of them are rich and give the most filial piety to the officials.
Originally, Mo Zizai planned to arrest these people, but because these people were extremely scattered and most of them lived on the boat, they could not be summoned even if they were invited to a banquet.
In addition, there are many masters among them. If they want to deal with them, they have to use the Yulin Army. The noise is too great. Moreover, because they are really important to the canal transportation, Mo Zizai thought about it for a while and decided to let them go temporarily.
Zhao Baiyang was in a little better knowing that the canal merchants were still there. After all, the money given by the canal merchants every year was the big deal. As long as the canal merchants were there, he could still receive a lot of filial piety every year.
Just thinking about the businessmen who were arrested by Mo Zizai and the amount of filial money he had lost inexplicably in the future, Zhao Baiyang felt like a knife was cut.
"No! I'm going to discuss it with Qian Min."
Zhao Baiyang suddenly stood up, "He has so much money every year. Now something happens. He can't ignore it. He must come up with a structure for this matter."
"Otherwise, who knows whether that madman Mo Zizai will point his knife at the Caoshang tomorrow."
"this……"
The housekeeper knew a lot, so when he heard Zhao Baiyang say this, he couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Master, you won't be that right?"
"Then Mo Zi is now in the limelight, relying on the empress's favor. If he deals with him now, it will be easy to turn himself in."
"What do you know!"
Zhao Baiyang scolded, "Mo Zizai seems to have seen a meat cat now. He has tasted the fishy smell. Do you think he can stop? Maybe when will he point his knife at the Caochuan merchant? What can you do then?"
"So, we must stop his behavior, and at least we must put some pressure on him so that he cannot act recklessly."
"not to mention……"
Speaking of this, Zhao Baiyang's face was a little cold, "I don't have to stand up for this matter. Even if I anger Mo Zizai, it's Qian Min who turned in. What does it have to do with me?"
