Chapter 317

Zhang Hao asked Jiajing if he could kill the clan members. After hearing this, Jiajing was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zhang Hao helplessly: "Hold on me a little bit. If you can't kill me, don't kill me. Otherwise, those clan members won't let you go. If you really can't help it, you should have sufficient evidence to kill him. Anyway, those people will be sent to the capital, and I will kill you!"

"This is too troublesome!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing depressedly and said.

"What trouble? You bastard, you can't mess with this matter, have you heard it? Otherwise, I will deal with you!" Jiajing immediately warned Zhang Hao. He knew that Zhang Hao's temper was coming, but no matter who they were, they would kill him.

"What if I can't help it?" Zhang Hao continued to ask Jiajing.

"Then I have to endure it, unless I can't help it at all!" Jiajing immediately warned Zhang Hao. He was afraid of this kid, and he had a very good ability to cause trouble.

"Okay, if you can't help but kill me!" Zhang Hao nodded immediately and said,

Jiajing was so angry that he still sighed and said to Zhang Hao: "When you go there, be careful about safety. There must be someone around you, and you are not allowed to act alone. This time you bring 20,000 imperial guards over, and the other two imperial guards over to take the Jinyiwei from the ward to completely solve the problem of salt and iron tea for me. Have you heard?"

"I understand, don't worry, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao nodded immediately and said.

"Okay, go!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao nodded, saluted Jiajing, and left the Danfang.

And Jiajing was sitting there thinking about this.

"The emperor, there is another impeachment memorial, who impeached Zhang Hao, saying that Zhang Hao arrested officials at will!" Lu Fang came over with some memorials and said to Jiajing.

"Let's go aside first and register the names of those people. Register all the ministers who impeached Zhang Hao during this period. I will settle the score with them at that time!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang.

"Yes, the emperor!" Lu Fang nodded immediately and said,

On Zhang Hao's side, after Zhang Hao left Yuxi Palace, he took the Jinyiwei of the two guards to the outside of the city. When he arrived outside the city, the 20,000 imperial guards were already waiting outside. The imperial guards were dispatched, but they carried a large amount of supplies. There were more than 2,000 carriages alone, full of things. After Zhang Hao met with the two commanders of the imperial guards, he set off immediately. Zhu Xinqian knew about it just now.

"What did you say? Zhang Hao went out and took a lot of people out? Where did you go?" Zhu Xinqian immediately stared at the person in charge and asked.

"I heard that I was going to Xuanhua! However, this time he brought another 10,000 or 20,000 imperial guards to set off. Is there any change in Xuanhua? The Tatars are going to attack Xuanhua?" The manager looked at Zhu Xinyan and asked.

"No, no, he is not going to Xuanhua, he is going to Taiyuan, he is going to Taiyuan! How can he go now? There are still many memorials to impeach him. In addition, the officials who were arrested before have not been tried yet, why did he go now?" Zhu Xinfeng immediately knew that something was wrong,

Zhang Hao is going to Taiyuan and starts to really reorganize salt and iron tea.

"This, Prince, what should I do now?" The in charge immediately asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and have a letter. Go back immediately, find my second brother, and leave it to him!" Zhu Xinqiu said to the manager, and immediately went to the study room and started writing the letter. After writing it, he handed it to the manager, and asked the manager to go immediately.

Now he felt vaguely bad. Jiajing was really going to take action against Shanxi. Now, he couldn't help but think of what Zhang Hao said to him before, hoping that he could agree to Jiajing's conditions. If he did not agree, the consequences would be bad. But he did not expect that this consequence would come so quickly. Jiajing would have to use a knife against Shanxi's salt and iron. If Jiajing really succeeded, then the loss of King Jin would be very heavy, and money would be nothing.

After Zhu Xinyu sent off the in charge, he sat in the study room and thought about this matter carefully. He didn't want to face Jiajing, but there were many people in the King of Jin. If he agreed rashly, others would not agree. There were other vassal kings. If he opened this hole, other vassal kings would blame him, which would be a problem at that time, so Zhu Xinyu was also worried now.

In the evening, Zhang Hao arrived at Xuanhua, and Yu Wanpeng also came out of the city to greet him. Now he also knew that Zhang Hao was now the commander of the Jinyiwei. Lu Bing said he would take it down. Who would not know that Zhang Hao had such great power now. Whoever saw him should respectfully call him Commander or Lu Anhou.

"Mr. Lu An, work hard all the way!" Yu Wanpeng saw Zhang Hao coming and immediately bowed his hand.

"Well, General Yu, thank you for your hard work during this period. Is there anything wrong here?" Zhang Hao also turned over and dismounted and asked Yu Wanpeng.

"Go back to Lu'an Marquis, nothing is wrong. The Tatars dare not kill him now, but the business here is getting better and better!" Yu Wanpeng said with a smile, and at this time, Sun Qihai also came over and bowed to Zhang Hao and said, "Mr. Lu'an, thank you all the way!"

"Well, okay, go and enter the city!" Zhang Hao said with a smile,

Then Zhang Hao was led by other officials here, and Zhang Hao returned to his place where he lived.

After dinner, Yu Wanpeng went back. He wanted to go back and stare at military affairs.

"Congratulations!" Sun Qihai and Wan Peng left, and immediately bowed to Zhang Hao and said.

"Well, what's the congratulations? What's the situation here?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"It's very good. Now there are more and more goods coming out from here, and there are also many goods coming in. Not only are there Tatars, but also goods from many countries in the west. They also come in from here. Now the tax collection is stable at about 10,000 taels every day!" Sun Qihai bowed to Zhang Hao and said.

"No, good, really good. There are millions of taels a year, which is almost 30% of the taxes in the court. If the other levels of my Ming Dynasty are the same, then these taxes will be enough to support the expenses of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the money is now flowing into my private pocket." Zhang Hao said sighing.

"Yes, but I guess I can't hold on for long!" Sun Qihai said with a wry smile.

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Hao asked at Sun Qihai incomprehensible when he heard this.

"There has been news that as long as you don't take care of this place, I will be replaced. I want to replace the people who can trust the Ministry of Revenue. I am also a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Why can't I believe it? Oh, there is no way, it's just that I want to change some people who can benefit those ministers!

I don’t know how to pay tribute. I am here and can receive more than ten taels of silver a day. At more than forty or fifty taels, I don’t have one person to take it alone. A few days ago, I sent someone back and sent some high-quality skins to several ministers of the Ministry of Revenue. However, what they want is not this!" Sun Qihai said with a wry smile.

"Are you sick? You only have a little money, and you still give gifts. You don't know how poor your family is? You also give gifts to them. The money you receive now is to buy something!

Besides, I see who dares to change. Without my consent, who dares to change people. Remember, you can take the small money and taxes. If so, no one can touch you. Just kidding! And, let me tell you the truth, you have entered the list of the emperor's key use. Your future is not something that those officials of the same age may compare. Keep your heart and don't do anything randomly!" Zhang Hao looked at Sun Qihai and reminded.

"Ah, I, I'll use it in a key way?" Sun Qihai looked at Zhang Hao in shock and asked.

"What do you think? Why did you come here? You think it's just to let you collect taxes. I tell you, in the future, you will be responsible for all the taxes related to the Ming Dynasty. You should not just think about collecting money now, but also consider how to increase the taxes of the Ming Dynasty while ensuring that my Ming merchants are not damaged.

You have to remember that we and the merchants complement each other. We serve them. When their business is good, we will have more taxes. If we torture them to death, who will pay taxes to us in the future? Those merchants will be chickens. If we kill the chickens, how can we eat eggs?" Zhang Hao said to Sun Qihai.

"Yes, sir, I remember it, thank you for your advice!" Sun Qihai said excitedly.

"Well, do your job here well. The Ministry of Revenue can't control your errands!" Zhang Hao continued to instruct Sun Qihai and said.

"Thank you sir!" Sun Qihai immediately bowed and said.

"Well, okay, go back and work hard!" Zhang Hao said to Sun Qihai. Sun Qihai immediately bowed to Zhang Hao, and then left Zhang Hao's study room.

Next was Zhang Hao's deputy general of the town's army and the generals came in to report. Zhang Hao hadn't come for a while, but they needed to come and report on the situation of the army.

They dare not neglect Zhang Hao now, knowing that Zhang Hao is powerful now, and if he is unhappy, he will be dealt with at any time. After listening for a while, Zhang Hao expressed his opinions and asked them to make rectifications, and then asked them to go back.

The next morning, Zhang Hao got up very early, went directly to the west gate, checked the business situation, and then went to the military camp. Seeing the soldiers practicing, Zhang Hao went back to his house for dinner.

After the meal, Zhang Hao led the Imperial Guards straight to Taiyuan. This time, he mainly wanted to clean up the salt and iron in Shanxi. Taiyuan is the gathering place of salt merchants, and Datong is the main production place of pig iron. There is no hurry to do iron. The key is salt. Now some places are insufficient salt. Zhang Hao needs to clean up the disobedient salt merchants as soon as possible.
