Chapter 191: The Experience of King Xin
Zhu Youjian looked at the background of the two, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers have been unable to do their wholeheartedly. They are all treacherous ministers in power and there is nothing they can do."
Wang Chengen didn't say anything, he believed that Zhu Youjian had his own plans and sensibility in his heart.
Zhu Youjian was not interested in taking it anymore, so he said to him after dealing with a few bites: "Let's go, go back to the palace, and have a careful examination. Tomorrow will be the emperor's throne ceremony, so you must not make any mistakes."
Wang Chengen took out a few pieces of silver from his arms and followed Zhu Youjian.
"Please, please, Lord Wang and Lord Li are already waiting."
When Zhu Youjian went downstairs, the waiter brought a group of fat middle-aged people with big ears and crowded upstairs.
"Go aside and don't get in the way!"
One of the middle-aged men, with a big belly and a greasy face, reached out to pull his hand towards Zhu Youxiao.
Wang Chengen reached out and grabbed his hand, lifted his hand, showing a cold warning look on his face.
The middle-aged man was furious and tried hard to pull his hand back, shouting angrily, "Bastard, do you know who I am? Let me go, let go!"
Zhu Youjian looked ugly, but he didn't care about such a person and walked straight down.
Wang Chengen pushed his hand and glanced at the middle-aged man with a blank expression, following Zhu Youjian.
"Bah," the fat middle-aged man spitted at the backs of the two men and sneered: "When I start this business, no matter what you are from, you will look good! Come on, follow them and see where they live!"
"Forget it," one of the people who seemed steady, looked low-key but more luxurious, had a smaller belly, and said calmly: "Today, the most important thing is to pay a visit to Lord Wang, Lord Li, don't cause too much trouble."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, stared at Zhu Youjian and the others who were about to disappear, and said in anger, "Okay, I'll stay in the capital for a while anyway, and I'll see where they can escape!"
After a group of people finished speaking, the waiter led them to the second floor with a smile on his face and took them to the private room of the two of them just now.
Zhu Youjian and Wang Chengen walked not far away, and sighed to the sky: "Has the collusion between officials and businessmen reached such a blatant level?"
Wang Chengen was silent. He knew that Zhu Youjian rarely left the palace and did not know much about things outside the palace. Seeing this scene today would probably cause a lot of shock in his heart.
In the private room, the cups were quickly exchanged and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
"Mr. Wang, how much fine salt can the Shandong Transportation Department bring out this year?"
"Yes, the new emperor ascended the throne and the Ministry of Revenue has also replaced him. Will it affect the salt transportation?"
"We have spent a lot of money this year. If we pay less salt, we will lose a lot of money."
A group of people quickly turned the conversation to the point, which was what they cared about the most.
Lord Wang, whose name is Wang Jinyun, is from Shandong Transportation Department. He smiled slightly and said calmly and confidently: "So what about the new emperor? Didn't you change it six years ago? Should we do it or what!"
Lord Li’s name is Li Changyong, who is from the Haibei Tiju Sect. He also smiled and said, “Mr. Wang said it well. This year’s salt induction has been released. As long as the time comes, you can ask for it. What should we do at that time? It will naturally be ours to decide.”
The group of people were immediately overjoyed, and they were flirting with money.
"Mr. Wang is right. The new emperor is only nine years old. Don't you want to listen to the adults in the court?"
"The Ministry of Revenue is Fu Changzong in charge. He also has a salt farm. Do you dare not listen to us?"
"Yang Dahong and I are fellow villagers. If I don't look at monks and Buddha's faces, I don't believe it. Can the little emperor still disobey his teacher?"
