The best little eunuch

Chapter 134 Rise
Chapter 134 Rise
Shaking his head, Li Henian said, "I don't know. But I can be sure that he is a very capable person."

"Even you don't know?" Lin Feng asked.Anyway, Li Henian has been the prime minister for so many years, logically speaking, he should be able to know a little bit of clues.But why didn't even Li Henian know about it?

"Lord Lin, not only the old man doesn't know about the person behind the scenes, but even the Yandao yamen and Daotai don't know about it. In short, this person is very mysterious, maybe this person doesn't exist at all, and the rule of giving money has just continued That's all." Li Henian said to Lin Feng.

"How did the salt tax collected by the Yandao Yamen be transformed?" Lin Feng continued to ask.The money must have been collected, but how will the money be divided in the end, and who will divide how much?Who will divide it?
"This old man doesn't know." Li Henian said: "One of my former disciples worked as the Taoist of the Yandao Yamen for a period of time. He said that he had no way of getting a hand in the taxation of the Yandao Yamen, and it was all done by his subordinates. Yes. He is just an empty platform."

"So, the Yandao Yamen has been completely emptied?" Lin Feng asked.

Nodding his head, Li Henian continued: "Before all the officials in Yandao Yamen take office, there will be a mysterious person who will send them a large sum of money, and then tell him that he can do anything except not to take care of things."

"Aren't they afraid that the Daotai of Yandao Yamen won't listen to them?" Lin Feng asked.The Yandao Yamen has reached this point. It seems that this matter is much more complicated than he imagined.

With a smile, Li Henian said: "What if you don't listen? Daotai in Yandao Yamen can't even order a servant. Apart from receiving money on time every year, Daotai in Yandao Yamen is not necessary. "

"Then the Jiannan Salt Road Yamen is also like this?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

Shaking his head, Li Henian said: "That's not true. Jiannan Salt Road Yamen currently pays most of the salt tax. The remaining part is only intercepted by the governor's Yamen. This, the court also There is no way. Not only Jiannan, but the governor's office everywhere will withhold part of the tax. The court basically acquiesced to this."

Lin Feng also knew what Li Henian said.The imperial court now has no control over the provinces at all.Now, except for a few provinces, the others are basically in harmony with the imperial court.Some have even completely escaped the control of the court.It is estimated that if there is not enough capital, these provinces may have to establish their own countries.

Regarding these matters, the imperial court had no choice but to turn a blind eye and close one eye.Who made them stronger than the imperial court now?
"Can Li Xiang help me make an appointment with the person in charge of the Yandao Yamen? I'm not talking about Daotai." Lin Feng said.It seems that it is necessary for me to have a good talk with them.

Nodding his head, Li Henian said, "I try my best. They are usually the ones who come to me, but I seldom go to them."

"Thank you, Mr. Li Xiang." Lin Feng said.There is no way, he can't contact those people now, he can only go through Li Henian.

"Could it be that Lord Lin wants to have a showdown with them?" Li Henian looked at Lin Feng and asked.If this is the case, Lin Feng doesn't have much chance of winning.

With a wry smile, Lin Feng said: "Is a showdown useful? I just want to talk to them." Lin Feng saw if he could reach any conditions with them. How is the Yamen?Instead of this, it is better to choose to cooperate with them.

"I'm afraid it will take some time to make an appointment with them. But as long as the old man has news, he will definitely notify you." Li Henian said to Lin Feng.

"If that's the case, I'll trouble Li Xiang." Lin Feng said.Then got up and said goodbye.Judging from the news Li Henian got here today, the matter of the Yandao Yamen has become complicated and confusing.Lin Feng always felt that there was a huge hand controlling behind the scenes, but Lin Feng couldn't grasp this hand.

Going back to his mansion, Lin Feng sorted out the ins and outs of the matter carefully. Thinking about it, Lin Feng was even more surprised: This Yandao yamen is really unusual!Even, Lin Feng felt that the Yandao Yamen was most likely controlled by someone.

If the Yandao Yamen was controlled by someone, why didn't the court deal with it after so many years?Who is this person who controls the Yandao yamen?To be able to control an imperial government's yamen, this person's scheming is absolutely amazing.

Judging from the current situation, his approach is very successful.At least, the officials in the imperial court are indifferent to the affairs of the Yandao Yamen.Let the Yandao Yamen develop on its own.And the person in charge of manipulating behind the scenes can take a large amount of salt tax revenue from the Yandao Yamen every year.

"Who is controlling the Yandao yamen?" Lin Feng began to ponder.This person dared to oppose the court, and he would definitely not be an ordinary person, but who could live with such great energy?Lin Feng racked his brains and couldn't figure it out.Unless this person is the emperor, otherwise, at the beginning, it was almost impossible for him to do it.

However, if it belongs to the emperor, there is absolutely no need to do this?For a moment, Lin Feng felt that his brain was not enough!

Li Henian's speed was pretty good. He replied to Lin Feng's letter in just three days. See you at Hongbinlou tonight.

At night, Lin Feng simply cleaned up and went out.What happened today is very important to him, because it will affect his future development, and it is closely related to his taxes in Jiangnan.

When Lin Feng arrived at Hongbin Building.I found that the Hongbin Building, which had a lot of customers in the past, is actually empty at the door. Could it be that it has closed down today?
As soon as he walked to the door, when Lin Feng was about to go in, a shop waiter came up to greet him and asked, "May I ask if the person here is Lin Feng, Lord Lin?"

"It was me. I was invited." Lin Feng said.

"Master Lin, please, the guest who invited you has arrived." The waiter said, and led Lin Feng upstairs directly.

After knocking on the door of a private room, the waiter invited Lin Feng in.After entering, Lin Feng only saw a fat man sitting there.His body is chubby, like a Maitreya Buddha.

Seeing Lin Feng coming in, the man stood up, looked at Lin Feng with a smile, and said, "I've met Lord Lin. Thank you Lord Lin for coming here."

"I don't know what this... what is this gentleman called?" Lin Feng really didn't know this ancient way of speaking, after thinking about it, he replaced it with Mr.

"Master Lin, just call the little Jiang Qi." Jiang Qi, who looks like a Maitreya Buddha, said: "Master Lin, please sit down first. If there is anything, we can talk slowly."

Arching his hands at Jiang Qi, Lin Feng walked to the table and sat down, and Jiang Qi also took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Lin Feng.A lot of dishes had already been placed on the table, but Lin Feng didn't come here for the food today.

After sitting down, Lin Feng said: "Perhaps Li Xiang also told Mr. Jiang why I want to see you?"

Still with the same smiling face, Jiang Qi said: "Master Li Xiang has said something, but I still hope to listen to Lord Lin to talk about it carefully. After all, this matter is not a small matter for him."

"Then let me open the skylight and tell the truth. No matter who you are, why do you want to control the Yandao Yamen. Starting today, the Yandao Yamen must be handed over to the Governor's Office, and you can no longer interfere." Lin Feng and his tough Said the tone.Of course, the reason why he said this was to make the other party fearful and feel that he had a hole card.

Looking at Lin Feng with a smile, Jiang Qi said: "Master Lin said so, how can we talk about it? We have not controlled the Yandao Yamen for a day or two. We can't take it back if Lord Lin says it will be taken back."

"Then Mr. Jiang means that he refuses to call out the Yandao yamen?" Lin Feng asked.

Smiling slightly, Jiang Qi said: "Maybe Lord Lin hasn't figured out a problem yet. The Yandao Yamen has always been in our hands, and it is impossible for anyone to interfere. Including you, Lord Lin."

"Perhaps Mr. Jiang doesn't know that I still have troops in Jiangnan?" Lin Feng asked.He is also considered a semi-threat.In any case, his tone must be tough, otherwise, how can the two parties negotiate on an equal footing when the other party has the upper hand?
With that smile still on his face, Jiang Qi said, "Master Lin, is this a threat?"

Nodding his head, Lin Feng said, "That's right."

"That's probably going to disappoint Lord Lin." Jiang Qi said: "It's not like no official threatened us like this before, but he didn't succeed in the end. What I can tell Lord Lin is that the previous official who threatened us The status is no lower than Lord Lin, and they are still after the founding fathers, but now they have completely lost their shadow in the court."

"Mr. Jiang, are you threatening me?" Lin Feng was not an idiot, so he naturally seemed to understand what Jiang Qi said.

Smiling and nodding, Jiang Qi said, "This is a threat, but when necessary, we can make it a reality."

"I'm afraid Mr. Jiang doesn't know, what I fear the most is threats." Lin Feng said: "I'm alone, I'm really not afraid to fight you to the death!"

"Mr. Lin, don't be angry. If you have something to say, then Ruan Ling'er, who is far away in Jinling, will be sad." Although Jiang Qi still had that smile on his face, there was a clear expression in his words. With killing intent.

With a "slap" on the table, Lin Feng said, "How dare you investigate me!"

"Mr. Lin was joking. Didn't Mr. Lin also send someone to investigate us?" Jiang Qi said, took out a roster from his arms, handed it to Lin Feng, and said, "You guys really don't know how to do things. , We dare to investigate with such great fanfare. Lord Lin should teach them how to investigate people."
