Chapter 318 Discussing Countermeasures
Chapter 318

Those salt merchants arrived at the island in Zhu Xinlong’s back garden, and there was Zhu Xinlong inside, and there were no servants. Those salt merchants also knew that today’s matter was very important. Some of these salt merchants were attached to King Jin, and some were attached to the family of King Jin. Without exception, they are all members of the King Jin family.

"Is it all here?" Zhu Xinlong looked at it, and asked, those salt merchants also look at me, and I look at you.

"It's all here. Last night, I just received a message from King Jin saying that Zhang Hao is going to Taiyuan soon, and you must all know about Zhang Hao's rectification of Yantie Tea, so I will No need to repeat, now it's time for us to confront Zhang Hao, if we lose, have you considered the consequences?" Zhu Xinlong sat there, looked at those people and asked,
After hearing this, those people sat there silently.

"In addition, you are not allowed to tell anyone outside what you said here today, including if you are arrested and Zhang Hao wants to interrogate you, you can't say it, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Zhu Xinlong then warned them,

They immediately said that they dare not, they are mixed in the border of Shanxi, without the support of King Jin, it would not work.

"Just don't dare, tell me, do you have any ideas?" Zhu Xinlong looked at them and asked.

"General Fuguo, you are a clan, not to mention the King of Jin. After so many generations, how can you be afraid of Zhang Hao?" A salt merchant looked at Zhu Xinlong with a bit of incomprehension and asked.

"Afraid? What is Zhang Hao? Behind Zhang Hao is the emperor, and we are afraid of the emperor. What is he, Zhang Hao, and Zhang Rong, we are not afraid!" Zhu Xinlong immediately said arrogantly, but some people who know him understand him To put it bluntly, in the court, the emperors of all dynasties trusted those princes, and they didn't trust those vassals, but you can't say it here, it's a slap in the face!
"Then since we're not afraid, we can talk to Zhang Hao, no matter what conditions he has, we just agree!" Another salt merchant spoke, and the other salt merchants nodded.

However, there were still a few people who did not nod. The members of their respective Zhang family, Wang family and Fan family were all well-known salt merchants. They have gone through many generations, and three of them have people who are officials in the court.
For example, Zhang Sijiao, who manages business in the Zhang family, his elder brother is Zhang Siwei, but with 23 years of Jinshi, he is now the head of the official household department, and Wang Chongyi, who manages business in the Wang family, his elder brother Wang Chonggu is also an official in the court.

"Let's talk about it, is there any way?" Zhu Xinlong sat there and continued to ask.

"General Fuguo, my eldest brother sent a letter saying that once Zhang Hao wants to investigate the salt industry, it is best to cooperate with the investigation. Otherwise, once he is caught, it will be troublesome. At that time, the entire family will be implicated, and the emperor treats Zhang Hao very seriously. He is very trustworthy, if we are not fully sure, it is better not to confront him!" Zhang Sijiao immediately said to Zhu Xinlong.

"Yes, my elder brother also sent a letter. It also means that we should not confront Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao is rectifying Yantie Tea. It doesn't mean that we won't be allowed to sell it in the future!" Wang Chongyi also clasped his hands and said,

They can all receive news from the capital, so they don't want to confront Zhang Hao, but if they don't, they won't be able to gain a foothold in Shanxi in the future, so they are also very helpless now and don't know what to do.

"What do you mean? What does it mean to fight against Zhang Hao? Why did the old man say that he wanted to fight against Zhang Hao? Although Zhang Hao didn't say that he wouldn't let you sell it, don't you know how you made money before? If it weren't for the help of our King Jin, you would still Can it be done so smoothly, and still be able to make it so big?" Zhu Xinlong looked at them with a little displeasure and said.

"General Fuguo, you misunderstood. We didn't mean that. Now we don't know how to rectify Zhang Hao's arrival. Now we are making preparations. Isn't it a bit targeted? If Zhang Hao knows, will it provoke him?" If you are dissatisfied, it will be counterproductive?" Zhang Sijiao asked Zhu Xinlong with his hands clasped.

"Yup!"

"That's right, what if it backfires?"

"This is not easy!".
Those people nodded when they heard it, and they didn't want to provoke Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao is really famous in the capital.

"You still have a lot of things you don't know, let me tell you? If we lose this time, don't think about the salt in the future. In addition, I don't know how many companies will survive here. Do you think Zhang Hao is a kind person? Let me tell you, if we lose in this matter, we will lose very thoroughly, and everyone will lose their lives!" Zhu Xinlong said excitedly to them.

"It's not that serious, is it?" When those people heard this, they all looked at Zhu Xinlong in astonishment.

"Why hasn't my elder brother come back yet? You are all under my elder brother's protection. If something happens to you, my elder brother will follow suit. How can you make so much money without our Jinwang family protecting you?" Money?" Zhu Xinlong continued to talk to them,

They heard it, and hesitated again. Now they don't know what to do, and no one knows what Zhang Hao is doing here?It is said to rectify the salt affairs, but it did not say how to organize it?What if everyone is okay?
"Let me tell you something, no matter who it is, as long as it is a human being, he has weaknesses, right? Doesn't Zhang Hao have any weaknesses? We can give him women, and we can give him money! How much you need, just set a price, and there will always be a solution Yes!" One of the salt merchants looked at everyone and said, and those people also nodded.

But Zhang Sijiao sneered immediately, and then said: "You gave him a woman, do you know who his wife is? Xu Jie, the elder of the court, and, once Lu Ben comes down, he may also serve as the first assistant minister Yes, we give a woman to his son-in-law? Also, the best soap and soap that sells now, but the business that Zhang Hao has created, will he be short of money? "

"This? Can't it?" When those people heard it, they were dumbfounded, and no one thought that there was such a thing.

"Okay, these are useless. Let's talk about how everyone can fight against Zhang Hao. There is only one way to fight. Let Chaotang put pressure on Zhang Hao. That's all right. If Chaotang didn't put pressure on Zhang Hao, Then it is impossible for Zhang Hao to go back, I told you not to sell salt, did you not sell it?" Zhu Xinlong looked at them and asked.

"No, not only the ones from our side have not been sold, but the ones from Jiangsu and Hebei have not been sold either. Everyone has discussed it now. Let's see the changes in the court, but now some places are short of salt. , if we don’t sell it, what will the officials in those places do with the memorial?” One of the salt merchants looked at Zhu Xinlong and asked.

"That's Zhang Hao's matter. Impeachment will not come to your head. Don't worry, everyone. This is how this matter will be handled. The emperor must call Zhang Hao to go back. Zhang Hao can't rectify the salt matter, and everything will continue as usual!" Zhu Xinlong looked at them and said.

"Is this possible? How sure are you?" Zhang Sijiao didn't want to confront Zhang Hao. Not only did he not want to confront Zhang Hao, but the Wang family and the Fan family also didn't want to confront Zhang Hao. It was too dangerous. Once Zhang Hao started killing people, his people My family can't stand it.

"Do it if you are not sure. Do you want to be controlled by Zhang Hao at will?" Zhu Xinlong looked at Zhang Sijiao very dissatisfied and asked.

"Yes, but I know someone. He is Zhang Hao's cousin, his father and Zhang Rong's cousin, and now he is doing something on behalf of the British government. Can we ask him for help?" Zhang Sijiao asked stand up.

"Does Zhang Hao know him?" Zhu Xinlong said with a sneer, they have been separated for several generations, and Zhang Hao doesn't even know if he is a cousin or not.

"You should know him. I heard that he needs to go to the British mansion to report on the business every year. He is responsible for the business of the British mansion in Shanxi!" Zhang Sijiao said.

"Hey, this is okay, we can try it!" Wang Chongyi also nodded immediately and said, in fact, he also knew it, but he didn't say it, but he wanted to go this way, get through the representative of the British government, and ask him to replace him. What conditions are needed for people like myself to speak, just let Zhang Hao speak!

"Then go and try it. It would be best if you can succeed, but you still need to be prepared for confrontation. Don't worry, if the people have no salt, the ministers in the court will not sit idly by and will give the emperor Stressful, the emperor will call Zhang Hao back at that time!" Zhu Xinlong sat there and said to those people,
Those people also sighed and nodded. Now they have no choice but to mention the people on King Jin's side. Otherwise, how will they survive in Shanxi in the future?Then they continued to chat about countermeasures, how to put pressure on Zhang Hao and Chaotang, if they can withstand Zhang Hao's pressure,
During this period, members of the Zhang family, Wang family, and Fan family rarely spoke, except that they occasionally said that they didn't want to confront Zhang Hao. Confronting Zhang Hao is confronting the emperor. If they confront the emperor, even if they don't die this time, He will definitely die next time. How can the emperor be a person who easily admits defeat and be suppressed by King Jin?

After coming out of Zhu Xinlong's mansion, the three of them glanced at each other, among them, Wang Chongyi of the Wang family asked, "How about I visit Yang Caihuan? See if he can help, if he can talk about our situation in front of Zhang Hao Good words, we won’t offend too much when the time comes, maybe Zhang Hao let go of his hand and let us pass!”

"Should I bring some presents?" Zhang Sijiao listened, thought about it, and said. ,

ps: During the holidays in the past two days, many friends are back, and there are a lot of entertainment, so the update may be less, sorry!
