After the next dynasty.

Hu Weiyong received a report from the house slave before he went home, saying that Li Shanchang's house slave had handed them a post, and Master Li was going to invite him to a banquet in Yipinju.

Hu Weiyong was surprised.

He didn't know why Li Shanchang wanted to entertain him.

You still have to live in Yipinju, so expensive?

Just now in the court, there was no contradiction between the two of them!

Hu Weiyong is the left minister.

Although he is arrogant, he still maintains a little respect for Li Shanchang.

None of them.

Hu Weiyong was able to enter the power center of the Ming Dynasty thanks to Li Shanchang's several recommendations.

People in front of and behind.

He always referred to Li Shanchang as "Li Gong".

People sent people to invite him in a good voice.

How could Hu Weiyong not go?

Waited for a private room.

Li Shanchang had already ordered a large table full of food waiting for him.

Hu Weiyong sat down, but he didn't move his chopsticks, but asked curiously: "I don't know what Gong Li came to me for this time?"

Li Shanchang didn't answer, but said with a smile: "Your family should also have a salt farm in Chongming, but you don't know how much you earned last month?"

Hu Weiyong groaned.

Again, there was no answer.

How can you easily tell others about your family's income?

If you encounter a pink eye, I don't know what else will happen!

Li Shanchang picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish and said: "Then I'll say it first, the Li family got more than 3,000 yuan of silver last month, and Hu Xiang's family has more salt farms, so they must get more profits!"

He said a few words without a head.

Hu Weiyong really didn't understand what Li Shanchang wanted to do.

"So what?" Hu Weiyong said: "If there is anything Li Gong can do, just say it, I will definitely help if I can!"

"Not for me, but for yourself. Li Shanchang said: "I value the little profit of the salt factory very much, and I don't want to lose it, so all the factors that hinder us from making a fortune must be removed!"

Li Shanchang suddenly had a lot of silver in his hands and lived an extremely prosperous life.

Not only Princess Lin'an, but also their father and son's lives are also extravagant.

He didn't want to lose it all!

"What does Gong Li mean is that someone wants to move our interests, is it the emperor or the crown prince?" Hu Weiyong pondered and asked, "Or is it that kid Ye Cheng gave the prince some bad idea and wanted to take back the power of the salt farm owner?"

Li Shanchang shook his head and said slowly: "No, it is King Zhou that we should be wary of!"

King Zhou!

Hu Weiyong's pupils constricted.

The fifth son of the emperor, Zhu Hu, was originally named King Wu, and his fief was in Xuzhou.

This year, he was renamed King of Zhou.

Count the ages.

In two or three years, we will be in vassal.

If you go to Suzhou, it will be troublesome.

Chongming was under the rule of Suzhou.

And there are too many interests.

How could King Zhou not attack Chongming and rectify the salt works.

Present.

The feudal lords had great power.

It's a generational guard.

If the king of Zhou has a heart.

Those salt farms in Chongming will be taken away sooner or later.

Even.

With Lao Zhu's support, there is no need for the next generation at all, and within a few years, those salt farms will fall into the hands of King Zhou.

Although King Zhou seems to be obsessed with medical skills and is not interested in other fame and fortune.

But Li Shanchang didn't dare to bet.

Pinning one's own interests on the character of King Zhou is not Li Shanchang's style.

It is better to take advantage of the fact that King Zhou is not in the domain to completely solve the matter.

Hu Weiyong also frowned.

It's a real nuisance.

He invested so much manpower and material resources to run the salt farm, train soldiers, and rob the island, is it just to make a wedding dress for the king of Zhou, and let the king of Zhou pick peaches when the time is ripe?

Absolutely not!

Hu Weiyong began to think of a way.

Soon.

His eyes lit up, and he said: "There are so many territories in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not necessary to divide the King of Zhou in Suzhou, can't you change places? Isn't he the King of Zhou, just seal him in Luoyang or Kaifeng Mansion!"

Historically.

There are many dynasties related to "Zhou".

However, the most eye-catching should be the East and West Weeks and the "Great Zhou" established by Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty.

The capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty is in Qin, and the king of Qin has been divided there and has been a vassal domain, so naturally it cannot be changed.

The capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was in Luoyi, that is, Luoyang.

Wu Zetian also moved the capital to Luoyang.

The best way to do this was to persuade the emperor to let the king of Zhou go to Luoyang to become a vassal.

If not, you can choose another place in Yuzhou.

For example, Kaifeng Mansion.

Soon Hu Weiyong had an idea and discussed with Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang said: "This matter is still a little troublesome, the emperor taboos others to interfere in his family affairs, if this matter is mentioned by us, I am afraid that His Majesty will be suspicious, and it will be even more difficult to handle at that time!"

"Let's not mention it, let others mention it, the matter of Suzhou still needs to be solved by the people of Suzhou!" Hu Weiyong lowered his voice and said: "Don't hide it from Gong Li, I have also developed a little power in Suzhou, and it is still easy to find a few pawns and let them come out!"

Li Shanchang nodded and laughed.

Hu Weiyong also smiled.

The two began to eat, not mentioning what had been discussed.

A few days later.

Suddenly, someone beat the drums outside the noon gate.

The imperial history on duty didn't dare to be too lazy, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask what was going on.

The person who came said that his name was Chen Han, a native of Suzhou.

The reason why I came to beat the drum was to come and petition His Majesty the Emperor and listen to the public opinion of Suzhou.

Goshi misunderstood.

I thought he was coming to sing praises to Lao Zhu.

After all, the development of Suzhou is good now.

It is understandable that some people want to take advantage of this to slap the sycophants and tie up Lao Zhu.

Yushi took Chen Han to Fengtian Hall to explain the reason and left.

When Chen Han saw Lao Zhu, his legs were weak in fright, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Lao Zhu asked him why he sounded the Dengwen drum and asked him to stand up and reply.

Chen Han stood up.

When you speak, you are no longer cowardly, but sonorous and powerful!

"Three years ago, the former prefect Chen Ning used strong means to collect taxes in Suzhou, causing the people's resentment to boil, and the people fled in a big way, His Majesty removed him, exempted the local people from paying taxes for one year and forced labor for three years, and the current Lord Zhao Junzhao took over the prefect's position!"

"Lord Zhao innovated the tax system, lightly paid off the meager endowment, and governed Suzhou into a happy land!".

"The people of Suzhou are inexplicably grateful, I heard that King Wu has been renamed King of Zhou, and the people of Suzhou are brave, please ask Your Majesty to change the fiefdom of King Zhou again!".

Chen Han suddenly straightened up and said, "The people of Suzhou are used to being under the rule of Lord Zhao, and they don't want to be governed by others anymore, so please let Your Majesty do it!"
