"Shopkeeper Chen, this is really a good idea, but Shopkeeper Chen didn't tell me that the imperial harbor is opened for you. If you use the imperial hull, you should make a lot of profits in the end, right?" Zhu Song asked leaning against the back of the chair. .

Manager Chen is not vague or crying poor: "Your Highness, merchants are pursuing profits. This is naturally, and we will naturally increase a considerable income, but this is also a good thing, which means that when the salt tax is coming next year, you can collect more many."

Zhu Song felt a clear mind. The merchant never talked about losing money. He used the imperial harbor and the imperial hull. In turn, he only said that he would take out five million taels for the first time. Isn’t this nonsense? If it is salt in the future All the exports were placed in the hands of these salt merchants. They were already rich enough to rival the country. If they continued like this, wouldn’t they have to cover the sky with one hand?

"With the port of the imperial court, you have to use the imperial court ships, and you have to beware of the Japanese pirates on the sea to rob. My Ming Dynasty also has to send soldiers to protect you. You have only given five million taels?"

Shen Zhengcong laughed: "Your Highness... the salt tax on two Zhejiang and Huaihe River has been paid before, and it has been handed over to the court. Of course, it is different now than in the past, but ours is indeed I've handed over it."

"The accounts and books of Caomin can be handed over to the palace to review. This mountain wind passes twice. Even Jiangnan, which has always been rich, cannot withstand such troubles. Please be kind to your highness!"

Zhu Song likes to bargain with these merchants the most.

"The state established the Salt Transportation Department in order to control the salt that is very important and is essential for every household. The court did obtain a large amount of income through the salt tax, but in this way, the court also came forward to suppress the price of salt. ”

"If there was no control by the court and the Salt Transportation Department, then I'm afraid the price of salt has already increased rapidly. Not to mention twenty cents, I'm afraid it would be impossible to stop it if it was two hundred cents, right?"

"Since ancient times, I have been paying for suspicion and never having any guilt. You said that you paid salt tax on Jianwen Chao. I can choose to believe you, but don't forget that the Jianwen Chao in the past will no longer exist. This year is the 35th year of Hongwu!"

"From the emperor to the officials of the Jianwen Dynasty, most of them were the residences of the country. You don't know how to know people. If you give those worms to fill them, let the real court, the court that really does things for the people, endure hunger, do you have the heart to bear it?"

"Even if you want to sell salt through sea, you only have to pay salt to the court, and you never make any money. You still want to take advantage of such a large share of money. Isn't this a joke?"

Shen Zheng never expected that Zhu Song was so cruel that he didn't keep a mouthful of soup for himself.

But it would be fine if you don’t keep it for yourself. Anyway, just this year, how to save your two pig teammates is the most important thing now. If they go into the water, then you don’t have to think about it and it will be over.

"Your Highness, if you do this, then I will prepare the salt as soon as possible. I'll ask the court to make the price of these salts clear for me at the normal price?"

Zhu Song nodded: "This is OK. The court will not cut off your life. Please prepare the salt for me. I will ensure that you have nothing to do. In the future, you will be the first salt merchant in Hangzhou, but you will be with me. I still hope that you can treat your wife well. If I ask me to find out that you have the right to deal with sex next time, I am afraid that I will not be able to tolerate you!"

Shen Zheng kowtowed and thanked him: "Please rest assured by your highness! Caomin remembers His Highness's teachings! But Your Highness, Caomin has one more thing."

Zhu Song glanced at Shen Zhengcong.

"You have since entered this door and have given me so many surprises. I didn't expect you to be a father-in-law who came out of the palace. I didn't expect you to go out to sell salt through the sea. Such a good idea.

The king didn't expect that you would give me any surprises in the future. You wouldn't be pleading for Zhou Tong and Wu Qian, right?"

Shen Zheng never dared to look at Zhu Song and had to say, "Your Highness, although Cao Min didn't know why Lord Zhou and Lord Wu's family were arrested by the Jinyiwei, Cao Min knew that although Lord Zhou and Lord Wu were at office, although there were some mistakes, there were also

Great contribution, during the civil strife of the country, they stabilized Zhejiang, did not displace the people of Zhejiang, and did not cause major problems in Zhejiang's tax revenue!"

"Please give the two masters a chance to see if they have some contributions."

Zhu Song sat back and looked at Shen Zhengcong who was kneeling on the ground with his legs crossed.

"I really don't understand. What does the matter between the court and local officials have to do with you, a businessman? Did you use the same method as Wu Qian and Zhou Tong... Oh! I understand,

You are worried that all your connections in Zhejiang will be cleared, so you have to start over again. I just said that you should treat your wife well, so you..."

Zhu Song stopped talking about this, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

"The problem now is not just about the salt tax collection. I have found something else. Moreover, I have written a memorial to report it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict to let me investigate in Zhejiang with drastic measures!"

"The information and evidence that I have now are enough to throw them into the death row. As for you, I really don't want you to have anything to do with the rags they did."

"Shopkeeper Shen, go back. We'll decide on the salt tax. If you pay for the salt, I'll pay for it. This time I'll bring you back 350,000 taels of silver notes. You can go to the ticket number to redeem it. Can you repay it?

Come out and find me. Since I have been brought to the balcony, don’t take it away. Leave it for me.”

"Your Highness..."

Shen Zhengcong wanted to say something, but was frightened by Zhu Song's sharp eyes.

"Old Cao, take the silver ticket to see the guests!"

Lao Cao took out 350,000 taels of silver notes from the house and handed them over to Shen Zhengcong.

Shen Zheng took the silver notes of 350,000 taels, handed the post to Lao Cao, and then left in a dilemma.

Lao Cao couldn't wait to open the post on the balcony.

"Oh... I'm on the balcony post. This is the original work of Li Taibai. Oh my god, this... this is too precious!"

Zhu Song laughed: "This Li Taibai is not famous for his words, but is famous for his poetry, but people never thought that this poetic immortal was written so well, with thick and solemnity, with a wide range of manners and a strong spirit! I have no attainments in calligraphy, but

I really like Li Taibai's balcony sticker!”

"But Lao Cao, this balcony sticker is a good thing. The person who sends this good thing is not necessarily a good thing. He is actually a eunuch. I really couldn't imagine that if this is the case, maybe he might be in the palace.
