Chapter 678 Salt

"Go to Beijing to sue the emperor, yes! This is OK." Emperor Yongtai nodded quickly and frowned slightly and said, "But I have never seen it in the past two years since I succeeded to the throne."

"Your Majesty, these people can't enter the capital at all. They were surrounded and blocked on the road." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with deep and unstoppable eyes and said, "I'm lucky, I'll be arrested and taught me a lesson. From now on, I dare not go to the capital to file a lawsuit. Those who persist may not be able to see the sun."

"Are you... killed?" Emperor Yongtai swallowed his saliva and said, looking at him.

"It is normal for drowning people who seek life along the river." Chen Zhouheng said sarcastically, "After all, those who are good at water will die."

"This is forced by life. I have no choice but to sell private salt for salt merchants. Ignorance is played with by evil forces in officials and businessmen. "Chen Zhouheng closed his eyes and said.

Chen Zhouheng said coldly, "The officials and bandits are in a mess, and they can even eliminate dissidents in the name of cracking down on private salt to ensure the sufficient interests of private salt and then ensure the interests of the officials and bandits themselves."

"This people eat high-priced salt, and they don't know who should blame?" Emperor Yongtai said angrily.

"Yes! They scolded the salt merchants, but they didn't know the ghosts and monsters behind the salt merchants." Chen Zhouheng said angrily, "The most annoying thing may be used by these illegal salt merchants."

"I can't go to Beijing by complaining to the emperor. I will send the imperial envoy down. I still don't believe that I can't put them on the spot to rectify the Dharma." Emperor Yongtai said with confidence.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the secret relationship like a spider web on the roster of the Ministry of Personnel?" Chen Zhouheng reminded him, "If you are afraid of it, you are afraid of it. This is loyal, upright and upright, striving to find out the truth and return the people to the sky. The imperial envoy will never return."

"Dare they?" Emperor Yongtai said with a cold look, without any warmth.

"What's there to dare? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with dark eyes and said, "Diet even let people die innocence, and they have to frame them."

"Then are they really gone?" Emperor Yongtai got angry again.

Think about the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan who are not satisfied with their wealth and are actively training students for imperial examinations. What do you want to do?

"Of course not, it depends on your determination." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with deep and upright eyes.

"Of course I have the determination and wish I could kill all these worms from the country." Emperor Yongtai said impulsively.

"They are a terrifying force when they unite. Will the emperor retreat?" Chen Zhouheng said, looking at him without blinking.

"No, this is a war where either they die or I die." Emperor Yongtai looked at him with great sanity and said, "So that! I obey and they continue to dig my foundation. I am disobedient and change to another obedient person in their eyes. When the country is really swaying, they will abandon me without hesitation. They will transform into high-ranking officials and generous salaries that can continue. They are just a group of villains who seek profit and avoid harm and forget their righteousness when they see profit."

"Are the emperor afraid of being criticized?" Chen Zhouheng looked at him without a moment and said, "Even if he only eliminates the evil, many people will fall to the ground. At that time, the hat of the tyrant will be placed on your head. These people use their influence to exaggerate your cruelty. The people are not aware of it and follow the crowd, which will damage your reputation."

"When I live and die, what reputation do I still fear? I just want my son not to face the current situation in the future." Emperor Yongtai said with lingering fear.

Chen Zhouheng clenched his fists when he heard this. This sounded very familiar. When he remembered it, his own Yaoyao once said so.

"Sunshing boats?" Emperor Yongtai looked at him who was obviously stunned and said, "What are you thinking?"

"It's all for future generations." Chen Zhouheng came back to his senses and looked at him, "It's worthy of his ancestors."

Emperor Yongtai was stunned when he heard this, then nodded, "You are right. I feel that I have been taught by great scholars and famous teachers. What are the shortcomings?"

Chen Zhouheng's amber pupils looked at him with a tiny light, "What does the emperor think he is missing?"

"It seems that you have to learn everything, otherwise you will be fooled by the people below." Emperor Yongtai said, frowned and looked at him.

"The sage said: Those who work hard to control others, and those who work hard to control others." Chen Zhouheng said respectfully.

"After that being said, I found that the saint's sage is somewhat different from reality." Emperor Yongtai tapped the imperial desk with his index finger, "This saint's teachings are to educate people, but this person is very different, and he also learns the words of the saint. How can some people be loyal, dedicated to the country and the people, and devote themselves to it. Some people are selfish, stealing the country and the people."

"The same rice is enough to raise hundreds of people." Emperor Yongtai continued, "It is said that the master leads him into the door, and his cultivation is about the individual. What is the cultivation like? It's really hard to say."

"What does the emperor mean?" Chen Zhouheng asked with deep and upright eyes.

"Go out more, contact, contact the people, and understand what they really need?" Emperor Yongtai looked at him with a smile, "It's not okay to sit in this hall. The ancients didn't allow them to work behind closed doors!"

"This is something that I learned and did. Now the headache is still these wealthy businessmen! If I were just doing business, I wouldn't be afraid, but the interests involved in them are probably going to be broken into most of the officialdom in Jiangnan." Emperor Yongtai looked at him with a frown and said, "It must be a careful arrangement and follow-up when it moves your whole body. This follow-up will take many years!"

"Since you are a salt merchant, you have to start with the salt." Chen Zhouheng bowed his hands with his fists and bowed.

"I also know, but there is no good way? The salt indicia criticized by the government cannot stop the rise of salt merchants, and wealth is as good as the country." Emperor Yongtai said to him with annoyance.

"The old saying goes, three pounds of rice can only be exchanged for a pound of salt, which fully demonstrates that this salt is expensive! It is indispensable." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with clear eyes and said, "If people don't eat salt for a long time, they will have no strength. Salt used to be Chinese medicine."

"How can I prevent private salt from flooding?" Emperor Yongtai frowned and looked at him.

"It is said that you can't get up early without profit. Without huge profits, the price will naturally drop, and there will be no so-called private salt." Chen Zhouheng looked at him with bright peach blossom eyes.

"I know this too." Emperor Yongtai gently stroked his forehead, "The key is that they turned official salt into private salt, and artificially created a salt wasteland." He said with a dark face, "This is so hateful."
