Jia Fei's face that could play a tough guy was still cold. He raised his head and said, "My whole family is the only one, go there!"

Zhu Zhanji was furious and shouted: "Use torture!"

Fang Xing chuckled and said, "I like this guy the most. Jia Quan is here too. Xiao Jia, I will leave this person to you. Some confessions are something that people are willing to say. You can try the torture method of the Jinyiwei and bring two apprentices by the way."

"Xiaodao, Fang Wu, you can go with Jia Quan."

Jia Fei was taken away and slipped inside. Fang Xing looked at the prisoners kneeling on the ground and said 'kindly': "Who knows who the official Jia Fei colluded with? Tell me, you can make a mistake."

Zhu Zhanji felt it was not reliable: "These people are all bandits, and they have lives on their hands, so it's better to wait for torture."

"Do you think they are tough guys who would rather die than surrender?"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "It's just bullying people with ferocity. A truly fierce person will not be a thug."

Zhu Zhanji was half-believing and half-doubting.

"Since I don't want to say it, then wait."

Fang Xing was a little impatient and said to Lin Qun'an: "Leave some brothers to guard the prisoners, and the others will return to the camp, and the food will be better for the evening."

Lin Qun'an kept a hundred houses and led his team to leave after more than 30 prisoners.

"Let's go back, too."

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji were about to get on the horse, and some of the captives shouted: "Sir, the young one is willing to say, the young one is willing to say!"

Fang Xing held the big white horse and frowned and said, "Who?"

The captive was about to give an explanation, but a man next to him shouted: "The youngest is Fan Weichang's family, Your Highness, the youngest has given an explanation. Fan Weichang ordered the youngest to come and inform Jia Fei..."

"Who is Fan Weichang?" Fang Xing was not very familiar with the officials in the court.

Zhu Zhanji said with anger: "It is the left assistant censor."

Damn it! He is actually the left assistant censor?

"Your Majesty is about to be angry, and Lord Liu is probably going to be scolded again."

...

Zhu Di was very angry after receiving the news and immediately called Liu Guan to scold him. If Zhu Di had not been more accurate than before, Liu Guan would have been bleeding today.

"A nest of snakes and rats! Is this my censor?"

"Get back! Clean it up for me. If there is such a thing next time, I will kill your whole family!"

Liu Guan almost ran away with his head in his arms. He had to be glad that he had just taken over the Inspection Institute, so Zhu Di made a fuss, otherwise he would have to issue an edict today at least.

Back at the Inspection Court, Liu Guan took down the censor who impeached Fang Xing that day without hesitation.

"Sir, I'm wronged!"

"I'm sorry!"

Liu Guan touched his chin that was smashed by the paperweight, and thought with lingering fear that Zhu Di's hand trembled, otherwise the cliff would have come to his nose.

"Take it down!"

Liu Guan stared at the remaining censors fiercely and said, "Who are you colluding with the outside world? Tell me, I will be gentle!"

All the censors looked at Liu Guan calmly. As for whether there was a ghost in their hearts, Liu Guan didn't know.

So he could only say angrily: "If you don't say it at this time, you will be punished severely after being found out by me!"

...

Fang Xing entered the palace, and he came to ask for the order.

"Your Majesty, most of the soldiers of the Baoshan Guard come from the north, and some of them have become children before, but in recent years, they have been separated from the north and the south. Can you take their family back to reunite?"

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were actually life-long professions. If you die, your children and grandchildren will all be in the army.

In fact, the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War could do this, but Fang Xing thought it would be better to order Mao here from Zhu Di.

Zhu Di still had anger on his face. He stared at Fang Xing and said, "Why can those houses be built in a short period of time?"

So you know everything!

Fang Xing did not hide it: "Your Majesty, that is the cement that has just been developed, used to bond the frame and bricks of the entire house. With this thing, you no longer have to log wood to build a house, and you can go to the brick house directly."

There are also brick houses in the imperial city, so Zhu Di asked: "May last long?"

Fang Xing said guiltily: "It should be no problem for seventy or eighty years."

I remember that those brick houses seemed to be useless after decades, and they could make a hole with one punch.

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "It's too short."

Fang Xing said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, what if it is used to build a road? Think about it, if the road leveled with cement is not afraid of rain or snow, and it can withstand heavy pressure so that the road will not be rutted."

Zhu Di said in surprise: "Don't you want to use this thing to make money?"

Say! Lao Zhu, you underestimate me!

Fang Xing said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, if you don't bring money in your life or die, it's enough for me."

Zhu Di nodded, and his anger finally disappeared, "Since that's the case, you can hand over the manufacturing method to the Ministry of Works. As for the credit, I will remember it in my heart."

Cement is not something that can be played by private people, so Fang Xing readily agreed.

A touch of fatigue suddenly appeared on Zhu Di's face, but it soon disappeared. He said lightly: "Jubaoshan Guard must be prepared soon, you go."

Fang Xing naturally bowed and said with a leave. Zhu Di looked at his back and disappeared outside the hall gate, and suddenly asked, "Can I believe him?"

The eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty naturally has a certainty in his heart, and the old slave dare not speak nonsense."

...

Zhu Di is about to prepare for the official camp!

"After getting this excuse, Your Majesty can make salt official on the grounds that it is illegal for salt merchants to run the salt. This is an act that benefits the country and the people."

Although Xie Jin was just a civilian, his vision was still based on the temple. "After the official camp, Your Majesty will give you an adaptable period, and the price of salt during this period should be cheaper."

Fang Xing wrote the memorial and said, "Mr. Jie, I am going to recommend the price of dead salt. In this way, even if the officials below want to do anything, they can only mix other things into the salt to make profits. However... this method is easy to treat. Salt is particles, and those buyers can naturally distinguish the difference between salt and debris. At that time, the report is recommended. If the report is true, a number of property will be rewarded."

Xie Jin nodded and said, "Salt and iron are the country's financial and taxation basis. If someone dares to make trouble on this, it is inevitable that the house will be searched."

Fang Xing put the pen down and let the ink marks on the memorial dry.

The weather was already cold, Fang Xing rubbed his hands, and when he thought of Zhu Di's hint, he couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty probably agreed, but he was worried that the Lianghuai Salt Chamber of Commerce would cause trouble, so he would probably lead me to Yangzhou Prefecture to take charge to deter salt merchants of all sizes."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Then you are going to Yangzhou Prefecture three times, why didn't you think about bringing a few beauties back?"

Fang Xing said habitually: "I have a strong wife at home, so I dare not!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xie Jin couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Fang Xing laughed, just smiled. He suddenly said, "Your Majesty is decisive in his work. I guess this matter will be revealed tomorrow. But that noble man... should also show up!"

But before the next day, before dark, Jia Quan brought a message.

"Prince Chengguo volunteered to go to Yangzhou Prefecture to shock the salt merchants..."
