"There is also the specific situation in Beichu, and we still need to understand it well."

King Jin also spoke.

Up to now, they still don't know what's going wrong in Northern Chu.

So much so that this time it was a little passive.

In this regard, Emperor Hongwen was also quite helpless, because he had already arranged many people to investigate, but he still didn't get anything too useful.

Not only did he fail to investigate, King Jin and Lu Yaoyao also arranged for people to go there, and the results were similar.

Lu Yaoyao and King Jin stayed in the Dragon Head Hall for a while longer, seeing that the palace gate was about to be locked, they left.

After leaving the palace, King Jin asked people to stop the carriage, raised the curtain and looked outside.

"Yaoyao, do you want to go back to the villa? This king will see you off?"

"No, there will be a curfew soon, I can go back by myself."

Hearing this, King Jin nodded and continued, "Then I will let Yan Yi accompany him. He is at the villa today. Please help arrange it."

"it is good."

Soon the carriages of the two separated, and Yan Yi rode a horse and followed Lu Yaoyao's carriage towards the outside of the city.

When they arrived at the villa, Lu Yaoyao asked Qiushuang to arrange a place for Yan Yi to rest.

She went back to her yard, and Qiushuang had arranged for people to burn the kang in the room early.

"I'm a little hungry, Qiu Yu, go and see if there is anything to eat in the back kitchen."

Every time I attend a banquet, I basically can't eat anything, especially in this winter, the dishes served are almost all cold.

Qiu Yu backed away in response, she had just left for a while when Qiu Shuang, who had arranged for Yan Yi, came back.

"Miss, there is news from Gu Jian. It is estimated that he will return to the capital in three or four days."

"Gu Jian?"

Lu Yaoyao was startled for a moment, and then remembered her arrangement a few days ago.

Because of King Jin's going north, she asked Gu Jian to lead people to support him later. After the north was stabilized, Gu Jian was arranged to go to the seat of the Han family.

A few days ago, she asked Qiushuang to send a message to Gu Jian that the Han family's affairs could be dealt with.

Originally, her biggest enemy was the Gao family, Gao Yanming. Although the Han family was Gao Yanming's backstage, they didn't have much contact with each other. Although they were unhappy, it was not a deep hatred.

But because of the matter of Xuehuayan, the Han family conspired to make other countries choose her as a marriage partner, which made her very angry.

It also made her completely murderous towards the Han family.

Later, the Han family was greatly weakened due to the fact that Zhen Guogong was in power, and they should have lived an honest life. They never thought that the Han family was still secretly trying to target her.

These are the news that Gu Jian sent back.

Almost all members of the Han family believed that their family's downfall was all because of Lu Yaoyao's snowflake salt, so everyone hated her to the bone.

No, in the past few months, although the Han family's voice has become quieter on the surface, or even almost silent, they have done a lot of things secretly.

They dare not target Lu Yaoyao anymore, after all, the current Lu Yaoyao is not something they can afford to provoke.

But they dared to do something to the Lu family. No, in the past period of time, the Lu family's business in various places has more or less been in trouble.

For fear of causing Lu Yaoyao's notice, these disturbances were not too big, but they were enough to cause headaches for the local people in charge of the Lu family, so that the business suffered some losses.

Moreover, the Han family also has Snowflake Salt. Originally, their plan was to open up foreign markets, but that was the case at the beginning. Now, they are also secretly competing with the Lu family, or to be precise, with the court’s Snowflake Salt.

This is also a direct impact on the Lu family. After all, Emperor Hongwen handed over the sales of Snowflake Salt to the Lu family.

According to the original agreement between Lu Yaoyao and Emperor Hongwen, the Lu family will help sell Snowflake Salt for free, and all proceeds will be handed over to the imperial court.

Although it is to help, but through the channel of the court, the Lu family can also carry some of their own things, so that they can start at a high level, which is faster than they can open up places step by step by themselves.

However, in the past few months, the Han family has been selling snowflake salt from various parts of the Lu family, so the sales of snowflake salt in many places are not very good.

If things don't sell well, the court's income will decrease.

This is a big piece of fat, and many people in the court are staring at it, but because of Lu Yaoyao's shock, these people dare not blatantly snatch it.

But if there are repeated sales problems and the court's revenue declines, this is tantamount to giving these people an excuse.

If the Lu family can't do it well, then let someone else do it.

Don't look at the products of Chengyuan Villa have been sold in various parts of Dongzhou now, but their own foundation is not very stable, and most of them still rely on the channels of the imperial court.

If there is no sale of this snowflake salt, the business of the Lu family will be greatly affected.

First of all, there is no mature transportation channel. In the past, they could transport their own things and the snowflake salt from the Ministry of Industry to various places.

In this way, the imperial court can be used to frighten Xiaoxiao everywhere, so that their goods can be safe and sound.

Without this consignment right, it would be impossible for their goods to use the imperial court's transportation channels.

Let’s not talk about the small bandits everywhere. When they leave the capital, they will go through a lot of checkpoints. All the officials, big and small, need to take care of them. Hold down their goods.

In this way, the price will be greatly increased.

For the goods of Chengyuan Villa, Lu Yaoyao has always paid a price that is relatively close to the people. If there is no consignment right, the cost will be greatly increased.

If it is at the original price, although it is not a loss, it is not far from being busy.

Her strength is strong, everyone in the capital gives face, but outside the capital, there will always be some people who don't give face.

After all, money touches people's hearts, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is impossible for Lu Yaoyao to handle everything himself.

"How do you say, the Han family is going to die?"

"Well, it is estimated that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there will be news."

Lu Yaoyao nodded.

And the next day, a memorial was quickly sent to the capital from outside.

The memorial lists the things that the Han family did secretly in the past period of time.

Not to mention Snowflake Salt, because the salt mine has shrunk dramatically, and the Han family had to make up for the loss from other places.

This does not put the focus on iron. In the past period of time, because of Lu Yaoyao, Dongzhou's iron production has greatly increased.

The amount of iron sent to various places has also increased a lot, and the Han family secretly united with some officials from various places to enrich their own pockets.

Steal the iron transported by the imperial court to various places, and then smuggle it to the southern border, and sell it in the northern Chu.

In just a few months, nearly one million catties of pig iron had already flowed into Southern Xinjiang and Northern Chu.

The memorial was sent to Emperor Hongwen's desk. After reading it, Emperor Hongwen was furious, and immediately ordered Tianziwei to monitor all the members of the Han family in the capital.

At the same time, King Jin was summoned and asked him to take people to Hedong in person.
