Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 115 Salt Mine
After the game, Zhang Zongxian returned to the backyard of the yamen. At this time, Xiaoxue had prepared Yulan for Zhang Zongxian to take a bath in. Although he was tired all day, the beauty's kindness was hard to get rid of!

Seeing Zhang Zongxian coming out of the bathroom with his waist supported, Su'e secretly scolded Xiaoxue for being a vixen, shameless.He went back to his room angrily without eating.

During the meal, Zhang Zongxian thought Su'e was pregnant and didn't care about her reaction.

In the next few days, villages successively reported that they wanted to play a game to resolve the enmity between the two sides.Finally, the Zhizhou Yamen took the lead in establishing the Cuju Association.Specialized in dealing with such competitions, Zhang Zongxian also told the Cuju Association about the league format in his previous life.

And asked the Taiping to donate to build a stadium that can accommodate [-] people. In fact, it dug out a sunken square.

People from the Cuju Association will promote and improve this sport, and strive to play the first league game in Jiazhou during the Dragon Boat Festival next year.

During this period, Liang Chengyuan took the lead in completing the task, and after a day's rest, Zhang Zongxian arranged to go to Shenmu County to help Hu Zhongxing.

On this day, Yunong came to report that Eunuch Li, who had been in charge of wine in Qingjian County, came to the government office to see Zhang Zongxian.

Zhang Zongxian thought it must be about mining tax collection.

The two met and exchanged a few pleasantries. Eunuch Li did not mention the mining tax, but took out a letter and asked Zhang Zongxian to open it himself.Said it was written to Zhang Zongxian by his godfather in the palace, Zhang Zongxian's cheap uncle.

Zhang Zongxian wondered if he was illiterate?Why write to him.

Open it and have a look. It is indeed not written words, but paintings.

The first one can be seen to be a painting. Drinking in Zhichun Building, Zhang Zongxian wrote a school word on the table,

The second picture should be Zhang Zongxian writing a book.

The third one is more abstract. It seems that the emperor is holding a book and asking a Taoist priest.

The fourth picture should be Li Gonggong asking Zhang Zongxian with a book.

The fifth sheet has nothing drawn on it, just a blank sheet of paper.

Zhang Zongxian did not understand at first, so he asked Li Gonggong;
"Didn't uncle explain anything else? Only this letter?"

After Zhang Zongxian asked Eunuch Li, he remembered that there was another book, so he quickly took it out to Zhang Zongxian.Zhang Zongxian understood it instantly when he saw the title of the book "All Living Beings Should be Tribulated".

This is Uncle Cheap asking him if he wrote the book, and the emperor is looking for someone who wrote it.After figuring it out, Zhang Zongxian asked Eunuch Li again;
"Brother Li! Has anything happened in the palace recently? Is there any news coming out?"

Eunuch Li thought for a while and said:
"It's still the same in the palace, but recently the emperor seems to like to worship Emperor Zhenwu. I have been there three times in the past two months. If the courtiers didn't stop me, and the emperor was not in good health, I would have to go to Wudang Mountain to worship. .

Someone who heard the letter said that the head teacher of Wudang had already gone to the capital. "

It seems that it was right to borrow the name of the Great Emperor.According to news from the capital recently, although many people impeached Xiong Ting porridge, the emperor stayed in the court and punished a few who made a fuss.

Judging from this matter, Wanli has completely believed in the contents of the book.Now I am looking for the person mentioned in the book to help Daming in the robbery.

He drank a little too much that day, so he revealed some secrets to the cheap uncle, and he even guessed that it was "All Living Beings Ying Jie Lu" written by him.

Now I came to write to him and asked him, presumably to confirm.It is also possible that he confirmed the claim to Wanli.Or they want him to reveal some secrets, and want to seize the opportunity in the future.

Now that he has recognized this uncle, he will have to rely on him to help Zhang Zongxian in many things in the future.It's better to reveal something more, firstly, let this cheap uncle believe his words with all his heart, and secondly, the bigger this cheap uncle is, the more places he can help Zhang Zongxian in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zongxian first asked Eunuch Li to pass a message to his godfather, saying: Time is running out and just wait for school.Then he wrote Wei Zhongxian on the blank paper and put it in an envelope to seal it.

Let Eunuch Li pass it on to his godfather.

After talking about this, Zhang Zongxian brought the topic to the coal mine tax collection.

"Brother Li, how did Master Ma tell you about the mining tax collection? How did the inner court respond?"

"I'm still thinking about my younger brother. My godfather has already taken it for me. From now on, I will collect all the mine taxes in Yanshou Town."

"They're all from my own family. Of course, if something good happens, I'll be close to my family. Have the mine supervisors from other places been sent out?"

"Hey! Firstly, no one is willing to go since the person died, and secondly, it's hard for the eunuchs to make troubles all the time!"

Zhang Zongxian thought to himself that it seems that the inner court did not send mine supervisors on a large scale, and the civil officials must have objected.

"Brother! That's a good thing! No one else dares to go, my brother dares, others can't accept me, but my brother can accept me. If the emperor knows about this, my brother has a bright future!"

After hearing this, Eunuch Li thought about it for a while.Immediately beamed with joy;
"It all depends on my brother's help!"

"Where! Where! Since it's my family, and my brother supervises the mines in the entire Yanshou Town, it's not appropriate to pay 1 taels a year. It's 2 taels anyway, so that the emperor can know about it earlier! My brother It can also be promoted as soon as possible.”

"Is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate, brother! Brother, I have a few wealthy businessmen who specialize in mining to get rich. Now that brother is a mine supervisor, why don't you buy a stock and make a fortune together. The whole Yanshou Town is not just a coal mine!

I heard that there is salt down there.If you dig it out, you can sell it for money. "

"Salt? But this salt is exclusively sold by salt merchants. Can I intervene?"

Zhang Zongxian patted Eunuch Li and said disapprovingly:
"According to the law of the court, it should be able to collect 1328 million taels of silver every year, but now it's only a million taels a year, and all the money has gone there. Aren't they all fattening those salt merchants, my brother! It's better to fatten us than to fatten them up. , and brother, if you have money, you can pay more tribute to the palace and the emperor. No one can do anything to us?"

Eunuch Li thinks about those corrupt officials colluding with profiteers to empty out the salt tax. What is his greed?If you have money to be filial to the current emperor, let us also be a eunuch.

"Brother, what about the shareholding?"

"Don't worry, brother, when brother arranges it, you can just share the money, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Without his money?Waiting for money?Eunuch Li smiled even more happily.

There are indeed salt mines underground in Yanshou Town, but they are buried a little deep, but these salt mines are all salt rocks.There is no difficulty in mining. Zhang Zongxian also learned from the projects he handled in his previous life, not only in Yanshou Town, but also in Alxa, not far away, where there is a salt lake.

The salt merchants in Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers all came from Shanxi, Shaanxi after the abandonment of China and France.If it is mined in the future, it will be targeted by the other party, and the eunuch in the palace will be used as a tiger skin, which is also to make those salt merchants be wary.
