Chapter 35 Cai Jing's Decision

Bao Daoyi was silent for a moment, looked at the displeased Fang Jinzhi, and explained bitterly: "The traitor Cai Jing will reopen the salt field to buy pounce soon after entering Bianjing. The abandoned salt banknotes by Yuanyou traitors were re-approved, but the people were panicked. No one knew whether the court would abandon salt banknotes again, so salt banknotes were cheaper than one ounce as ten ounces. Not to mention that the child could not agree to buy pounces of Huainan salt banknotes like waste paper, and the court would never agree!"

Fang Jinzhi was puzzled and said, "But he agreed in person?"

Bao Daoyi smiled bitterly and said, "That's because he is ready to turn against us and keep us all in Jiangning City. The group of people who just left are probably only a part of the manpower. What's more, once Jiangning prefect Xue Ang knows that we are in the city, once he knows that the Su family is related to us, in order to protect himself, Xue Ang will definitely use all the soldiers in Jiangning without hesitation."

A sigh of silence...

"well!"

"The moment the child found us, we had already lost, and our lives were hanging on the line. But the old Taoist did not understand why he did not sue the official. In theory, suing him is the most beneficial to him. Not only can he wash away his stigma, but he can also gain many benefits."

Bao Daoyi was puzzled and could not understand how Cai Yan would let them go, and he was not so arrogant that he ignored the government. If he could find it, it would already be clear that he knew their foundation. Although he had not seen the specific content on the paper with his own eyes, Bao Daoyi knew that the Hailong Gang had learned everything he wanted from the fifth lady and the saint Zhang Yinger. Without any preparation, how many people would be chopped off their heads when the government suddenly took action?

Bao Daoyi didn't know, but he knew that there would be many, many things that would make him tremble and fear.

Bao Daoyi was silent, Fang La kept silent, and Yuzhe was even more panicked and at a loss...

"The child was able to find this place alone. The old Taoist believed that he had no malice. If he could not violate the river from now on, it would be the best. As for the salt field, salt... this matter was first initiated by the Su family. If they wanted to seize the salt profit in Yancheng, they would naturally take out the money. If they could not... the Holy Church could only find another method and could only give up Huainan Salt Field."

Fearing that Fang La was hesitant, he said, "After the matter of Master Zhang, the Holy Sect suffered heavy losses. If he really forced the child to be impatient, the consequences would be unpredictable. It would not be a bad thing for the Saint to stay in Cai's Mansion. Although the relationship was cut off, the Saint was still the daughter of Master Zhang after all, and in the future..."

Bao Daoyi didn't say all his words, but the whole group understood it. They nodded one after another. Fang La looked at everyone one by one and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhengzhu died for my sect. Who dares to put the saint in danger again..."

"snort!"

Looking down at the paper in his hand, thinking that the fifth lady had asked for confessions so quickly that she almost harmed everyone, and her heart was filled with anger.

"Those who betray the Holy Church will die!"

Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed their heads, secretly hating the fifth lady's betrayal.

Fang La and others were helpless for a moment. They knew that they had been targeted by the Hailong Gang. In addition to Bao Daoyi transforming into Sun Banxian and continuing to cheat on the street, Yuzhe left Jiangning City overnight.

Cai Hua ignored where Fang La and others were hiding. In his opinion, the matter was over. He returned to the boat with fear that he would not want his own green peach. He did not respond much when he saw Gu Qinniang who was sent on the boat. She just said something briefly...

"From today, you will be the female husband of my Cai Mansion. You will be free in three years, but there are some rules that need to be kept carefully, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel and vicious!"

Lu Tao suffered a series of blows. When she saw Gu Qinniang, she was a little afraid and dodged. She always lowered her head and did not dare to take a look. Seeing this, Cai Yan didn't know what it felt, but this was reality.

Gu Qinniang changed into a maid dress and became a maid in the room like a lu Tao. Of course, he would not really use this woman as a maid. After teaching her some pinyin and punctuation marks, she became more and more sure what she thought was that this woman was too smart. She mastered the pinyin and punctuation in almost two days, and began to organize the messy books he drew and marked the pinyin of "circles".

Perhaps Gu Qinniang was too favored, Lu Tao began to study hard, and lie with him on a desk and read the words and sentences, no longer as crazy as before.

For three consecutive days, Cai Yan said little. If there was no need to leave the cabin, he would leave all the chores to Boss Su and Yao Zhongjiao to deal with. His life was quite leisurely.

"Young Master, how do you calculate this?"

Cai Hua was studying the encyclopedia of the Great Song Dynasty's martial arts strategy of "The General Essay of Wu Jing". Lu Tao delivered the small notebook to him. Looking at his black little hand that was similar to him, he handed over the wet wipes at his hand, picked up the notebook, and waited for a closer look, the door sounded softly.

"Bangbang..."

"Come in."

Cai Yan didn't raise his head or say more. He put a vertical line on the paper, calculated the simple "238+497" in a vertical line, and then silently picked up the abacus beside him, slowly tweaked it in front of her, and pointed his fingers at the "1" vertical bar in the vertical line from time to time. When he gently tapped the table, Gu Qinniang looked up inadvertently.

"Do you understand? The individual positions, ten positions, and hundreds are all in line. Those who should carry must carry."

Lu Tao nodded quickly for a while, "Yeah," and knew her little thoughts. Cai Huang didn't point it out. He repeated the calculation rules again and again. Meng Fei, who was standing beside him, started writing, dialing the abacus, clicking on the desktop, and not disturbing him when he opened his mouth.

Cai Yan returned the book to Lu Tao, got up and sat down at the narrow "living room" beside him, and pointed to the chair on one side to climb.

"General Meng, don't be too polite."

Meng Fei bowed and said, "Just just now, news came from Manager Yao, saying that rumors were rumored in Jiangning City. The salt merchants were making trouble and were unwilling to use money to buy salt. Prefect Xue asked someone to come and ask if the Cai Mansion could increase some money or silk?"

A hint of anger flashed in Cai Yan's eyes. It had been two days since the rumors spread in Jiangning City. He even thought about it with his butt, and knew that it was Xue Ang who did it himself.

After a moment of silence, he suppressed the anger in his chest. He looked at Gu Qinniang again, and said expressionlessly: "Tell Xue Ang that he can do as much money as he wants. Huainan salt bass must be exclusively owned by the Cai family!"

Meng Fei was silent for a while and hesitated, "Young Master, there are many people staring at Huainan Salt Field, and even the Xue family is involved, right?"

Seeing Cai Wei frowned, Meng Fei hurriedly shut up and stopped talking.

"It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. It is particularly jealous for one person to take it alone. However, this young master will take it alone today. Not only that, but he also has to buy all the money for salt money!"

Meng Fei looked up in shock.

"Do you think that this young master is inconsistent with the words? He just lowered his head and now he has said these brainless words again. Do you think this young master is crazy?"

Cai Huang shook his head slightly and said disdainfully: "It would be fine if Xue Ang participated in the internal struggle between my Cai brothers, but he didn't see when it was. He was just like Lao Cai, who had just returned to Bianjing. If he didn't kill a few chickens to establish his authority, how could he demonstrate his power?"

"Killing chickens to establish authority is not just about exercising outsiders, but sometimes they also use their own people to test their own hands!"

Cai Yan stood up and said, "General Meng should not worry about this matter. Then Xue Ang would give him money if he wanted money, but Huainan Salt Farm must be swallowed by the Cai family. As for what will happen after swallowing it, that is what happens later."

Meng Fei was puzzled. Now he dared not look down on the child in front of him. The attitude of Su alone was enough to show everything.

Cai Jing was angry and wanted to kill Xue Ang who was damn it. He knew that as long as he stabbed Fang La's incident, not only would the Su family be unlucky, but Xue Ang's family also wanted to be exiled for three thousand miles. Cai Jing could attack his younger brother Cai Bian, let alone Xue Ang, but he didn't want to put some things in broad daylight.

Rumors are everywhere in Jiangning City, and rumors are still spreading outward. "The childish boy is angry and kills people when he fails to tease a woman" is even more unbearable, and it becomes even more unbearable. There are three people who become tigers, and Cai Jing also wants to believe it.

In Cai Mansion in Bianjing, Cai Jing stood alone in front of the desk, with several letters placed in front of him, and picked them up one by one again...

"Bangbang..."

The knock on the door came into my ears, and Cai Jing's long eyebrows were just slightly raised.

"Come in."

Standing outside the door, Cai Chong pushed the door and walked in, holding a letter in his hand.

"Father, my fifth brother sent someone a letter."

Cai Jing looked up at the letter sent by his son Cai Chong, and frowned slightly. The letter was in his hand, hesitated for a few breaths before he opened the letter. At the first glance, he saw the handwriting of the dog crawling, but after a few glances, his expression was solemn and gloomy...

"Xue Ang is getting less and less aware of the rules..."

Cai Chong was slightly stunned and said in confusion: "Father, Master Xue is..."

Cai Jing raised his eyebrows, and Cai Chong hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing.

"A man cannot stand without trust, and a country cannot be trusted without trust, and a country cannot be in danger..."

"Your fifth brother wrote to scold him as a father, saying that he was a father and used his power and salt money to legally plunder the people's wealth. He said that this traitor, who only cared for the great Song Dynasty and did not have the people, only caused disasters for the Cai family and ignored the life and death of the Cai family..."

"Sanlang, do you think what Xiaowu said makes sense?"

Cai Chong was stunned and looked at Cai Jing with a confusion, and hesitated, "If you have no faith in words, it is also the traitor of Yuanyou. They abandoned the salt banknotes. My father reopened the salt farm to buy salt. How could he say that the country was not trustworthy? My fifth brother was young and ignorant and did not know the difficulties of national affairs. My father should not blame his fifth brother."

Cai Jing clicked the letter on the table, shook his head and sighed, "Although Xiao Wu's words were a little extreme, some of them were correct. The official took the brocade of the people, and the brocade of the money was a common silver. However, the salt banknotes are now lower than the previous value. There were too many salt banknotes, and there was not so much corresponding salt. Naturally, the salt banknotes were lower. In addition, what the Yuanyou Party did and the salt merchants did not want the people to exchange salt with salt. If we really talk about it, it would be wrong for our Song Dynasty to break the trust of the people. Xiao Wu used salt banknotes to buy Huainan Salt Fields. "

Cai Chong looked shocked. He didn't expect Cai Jing to say this, frowned and thought for a moment, and the superiors and subordinates clasped their fists and bowed.

"The national wealth is becoming increasingly rare, but the expenditure is increasing day by day. If you buy a pun, it is based on salt banknotes. Where should the money lost by the imperial treasury come from?"

Cai Jing was silent for a while. He knew that the salt banknotes could not be touched at all. As the great housekeeper of the Song Dynasty, he knew more than anyone else about the amount of taxes. After a long time of silence, he shook his head slightly and sighed: "Without your eldest brother, without Xue Ang's name as a father, the Su family would never dare to ruin Xiaowu's reputation. Xiaowu and Mei Niang were also right."

After thinking about it, he sighed softly.

"The price of each salt farm in Jiangnan has increased by 10% of the money, and this year, the Huainan salt farm will be Mei Niang."

...

"You go back to Hangzhou and then take care of the property at home."
