Then, he hurriedly turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
However, his face was still heavy.
So many people suddenly surrounded the entrance of the government office and named Xueli Salt Shop for causing harm to them.
There must be some forces behind this matter.
No need to think about it, they are all from those aristocratic families!
Today, this is just the beginning!
I don’t know where your Majesty got the secret recipe for making salt, and he was able to cook such flawless snow salt. However, only a few stones of snow salt are sold every day, and even the powerful and aristocratic families cannot supply enough.
, why sell it at such a low price? Doesn’t this anger those aristocratic families for no reason?
How unwise!
Zheng Yunde smiled bitterly to himself, sat on the chair, and began to write the memorial.
Then he called the Yamen servant and sent it to Shangshu Province.
"Come here, prepare the car, I am going to Yongzhou Mansion!"
Zheng Yunde ordered to the left and right.
Chang'an belongs to Yongzhou Prefecture, and Yongzhou Mu is the direct superior of all county magistrates around Chang'an, including Wannian County and Chang'an County.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, a government servant walked down quickly.
"Sir, Lord Mingfu!"
At this time, Dianshi, who had just left not long ago, ran over with an anxious look on his face.
"Those people are here again?"
Seeing this, Zheng Yunde's face panicked.
"Sir, don't panic, those people have all gone back!"
Dianshi replied quickly.
"What happened?"
Zheng Yunde breathed a sigh of relief and asked slowly.
"Sir, I heard that not only the county government office in Wannian County was besieged by a group of people. Even Chang'an County and the Xueli Salt Shop were also besieged by a group of people.
!”
Dianshi said with a happy face.
As long as one of their county offices in Wannian County is not besieged by the people, it would be a good thing.
At least, even if someone laughs at them, there is still someone to accompany them.
However, what surprised Dianshi was that his Mingfu master looked even more anxious after hearing this.
"What happened to the Xueliyan Store? Are there any injured?"
"Back to my lord, I heard that the people were very impatient and almost demolished the Xueli Salt Shop. However, at the critical moment, the nearby Wuhou and the bad guys arrived in time, and there was a quarrel. The people
They just retreated!"
"It's good that there are no injured!"
Zheng Yunde breathed a sigh of relief slowly.
Dian Shi was surprised and a little confused.
Isn't the Xueli Salt Shop the shop in my family's home?
"Please tell me quickly, let all the government officials look after the Xueli Salt Shop when they have nothing to do, and don't let the common people destroy the Xueli Salt Shop on impulse!"
"Please don't worry, sir. I will send out all the government officials right now!"
Dianshi nodded and responded with a clear look on his face.
Immediately, he walked out quickly.
As expected, the Lord of the Ming Dynasty has great supernatural powers and deep foundation. At the beginning of the year, the King of Jin slaughtered so many Japanese people at the door and sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, which offended His Highness the King of Jin. So far, nothing has happened.
Unexpectedly, within two months this time, my Mingfu master would cause something as big as the Xueliyanyan Shop!
As long as you hold on to the thigh of your Mingfu master, you will definitely be promoted and your future will be bright!
Thinking about it, Dianshi is very motivated.
Little did Zheng Yunde know that his worries were misunderstood by the imaginative classics.
He hurriedly walked out of the Yamen, got on the carriage that had been prepared, and walked to Yongzhou Mansion.
Previously, the Mu Nai of Yongzhou was Li Shimin, King of Qin, who is also the current Emperor Li Er.
Now, Yongzhou Prefecture does not have a state pastor, and all government affairs are handled by the chief minister.
at the same time.
In the Liangyi Hall, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other important officials hurriedly bowed their hands to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the people in the city gathered at the yamen gates of Chang'an County and Wannian County because they could not afford bitter salt because of a snow grain of salt shop!"
After the salute, Wei Zheng said with a straight face.
"There were even a group of people who went to surround Xueli Salt Shop. If Wuhou hadn't arrived nearby, the shopkeeper of Xueli Salt Shop and the waiters would have been almost torn to death by the angry people!"
"Your Majesty, I have also heard about this!"
On the side, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others also quickly raised their hands and said.
"How did the people know that it was because of the opening of Xueli Salt Shop that they could not afford bitter salt?"
Li Shimin's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Also, you must have all tasted the snow salt from the Snow Salt Shop. Such good refined salt only costs ten cents per pound. Why are the people so dissatisfied?"
"Your Majesty, the salt merchant must be instigating this matter!"
Du Ruhui said with certainty on his face.
"Those salt merchants are just mere merchants. How dare they dare to instigate the people to block the county government gate and Xueli Salt Shop?"
Li Shimin sneered, "This matter must be caused by those aristocratic families who are dissatisfied with the low price of the Snow Salt Store, and want to force the Snow Salt Store to increase the price of the Snow Salt, or stop selling the Snow Salt!"
"this……"
After hearing this, Wei Zheng looked stunned, thought for a moment, then bowed to Li Shimin and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, the common people cannot live without salt. We must put the common people first in everything!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Wei Zheng strangely: "These words are not in line with Wei Qing's principles. Is Wei Qing entrusted by someone to wait for the lobbyist to come?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't understand your Majesty's intentions!"
Wei Zheng looked puzzled.
"If I compromise with those aristocratic families on this matter, then every time I harm the interests of those aristocratic families, I will have to compromise? Even if it is to ignore the people's livelihood?"
Li Shimin had a calm expression on his face, obviously suppressing a lot of anger.
"Furthermore, in Chang'an City, Wei Qing should know what kind of serious crime he is in instigating people to block the gate of the county government office. Those aristocratic families are slapping me in the face for this matter. For such a violation of the law, Wei Qing's will will be
Will I compromise with those salt merchants?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just learned that the people did not have salt to eat, so I was anxious and thought poorly of it!"
Wei Zheng was heartbroken and quickly bowed his hands in salute.
"Um!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin just nodded indifferently and looked at Changsun Wuji who was standing aside.
"Can you find out which family is causing trouble this time?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There was no news about this matter in advance, and we only just learned about it!"
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling said with shame on their faces.
Before that, Li Shimin had already told them to keep an eye on the salt merchants.
However, those salt merchants have always been honest, but those aristocratic families directly bypassed the salt merchants and directly did things behind their backs!
Moreover, they all received reports. When the people surrounded the gate of the county government, the salt merchants who learned the news were all shocked.
Later, some salt merchants looked frightened again.
Obviously, these salt merchants were also tricked by the masters of the aristocratic families behind them!
"Your Majesty, I don't know how to deal with this matter? According to the situation in the city, many people have no salt at home!"
Wei Zheng said.
"Li Wei, do you know how many snow salts there are in the snow salt shops in Chang'an City?"
After hearing this, Li Shimin turned to Li Wei and asked.
"Your Majesty, there are now three thousand stones of snow grains and salt accumulated in Chang'an City!"
Li Wei quickly raised his hands and replied.
"Three thousand stones!"
After hearing this, Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face became overjoyed.
A trace of satisfaction also flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and then he continued to ask:
