Chapter 604

The price of salt in Jinling remained unchanged, and no one dared to change under Zhu Di's eyes.

Ji Gang soon had a new job.

In the front hall of fan Weichang's house, Ji Gang looked at the women and children and domestic servants kneeling on the side, holding a jade horse in his hand, and asked faintly, "there are only more than 1000 liang of silver, is that enough?"

Those women and children looked at the two big boxes at Ji Gang's feet. The Golden Buddha was valuable just because of Ji Gang's power.

Ji Gang frowned and felt that fan Weichang's family was not sensible: "is there something hidden at home?"

"Lord Ji, no, it's all here."

Fan Weichang's wife Chen said in despair. She looked at her two children, gritted her teeth, walked to Ji Gang's body on her knees, looked up and said, "Lord Ji, the sinner knows that some people have also taken the benefits of the salt merchant..."

This is her last hope. She doesn't want to keep herself. She just wants her children to suffer less.

"Oh!"

Ji Gang put the jade horse on the table and looked at Chen without expression.

"Lord Ji, yes..."

Chen just wanted to say those people, but he saw a dangerous light in Ji Gang's eyes.

She panicked!

"My Lord, the guilty woman doesn't know. The guilty woman is talking nonsense..."

Chen Shi hugged Ji Gang's thigh and cried dimly with tears in his eyes.

"Get out!"

Ji Gang bounced Chen away with a bullet leg, then got up and went outside.

Wang Qian followed him and asked, "Sir, is there something wrong with this?"

Ji Gang put aside his legs and stood with a golden dagger. His eyes drifted and said, "who dares to touch the salt policy at this time? If you touch it, it's trouble. This woman is crazy, but I'm not crazy."

"My Lord, isn't Duke Cheng going?" Wang Qian thought Zhu Yong could go, so the royal guards would have no problem.

The key to the problem is that the interests of this matter are not small. Even Wang Qian is moved.

Ji Gang sighed lightly, "Zhu Yong is brave and resourceless. He only sees that the salt merchants have money, but he didn't expect the trouble of those salt merchants. Are you stupid? Well, take out the jade horse. Here you look. I'll go first if I have something to do."

In Sanyuan lane, a sedan chair quietly went outside an ordinary courtyard.

"Knock knock knock!"

The sedan chair man in front knocked on the door. When the door opened, he and his companions carried the sedan chair in.

Ji Gang got off the sedan chair and looked at the plump middle-aged woman standing on the steps and smiled, "huiniang, I'm coming."

The woman's figure is plump, even overdone, a little bloated. Her face is mediocre, and she can only be regarded as a first-class passer-by in the street.

Hui Niang's eyebrows were all gentle: "the second brother is coming, and I'm going to cook."

Ji Gang waved the sedan bearer down, then went up the steps, hugged huiniang fiercely, greedily breathed the warm fragrance on her, and murmured, "huiniang, are you okay?"

Huiniang was obviously used to this hug. She reached out and stroked Ji Gang's head. She said softly, "OK, I'm fine, but how's the second brother's business?"

Ji Gang narrowed his eyes, like a dog rubbed on his head by his master. He said lazily, "there will be no bad business in Ji'er. I brought something back to you this time."

They embraced each other and sat down inside. Ji Gang took out a jade horse from his bag and said proudly, "look, huiniang."

A touch of tenderness appeared on huiniang's face and said with a smile, "don't buy these things in the future. We don't have children. We won't go like this in a hundred years."

Ji Gang's face was angry and shouted, "there will be! We will have children!"

Hui Niang was not frightened, but said gently, "my second brother doesn't dislike my second marriage. I just want to grow old with my second brother."

Ji Gang grabbed huiniang's hand and his eyes were full of dependence: "huiniang, I will take care of you all my life. We will grow old together..."

In the copper stove in the corner, there are faint green smoke and sandalwood bursts

……

"Uncle, the salt merchants did not act, but said they were fully cooperating."

Fang Xing is practicing calligraphy. He has worked hard in recent years, but he has no talent for calligraphy. According to Xie Jin, your handwriting is almost caught up by Li Ermo.

Fang Xing insisted on writing the last few words, and then relaxed his airway: "it's still early. As long as they are not stupid, their posture must be done. Zhu Yong should be very proud."

Huang Zhong said, "I heard that on the first day when Duke Cheng came to Yangzhou, many salt merchants scolded him. Those salt merchants came out in a cold sweat."

Fang Xing appreciated the words he had just written and said faintly, "those salt merchants have seen the world. Zhu Yong's means will only make them feel that they have no way back. What's the difference between driving the dog into the poor lane and forcing the enemy to fight back? Zhu Yong is really brave, but he has no plan!"

"Sir, your Highness the king of Han is coming."

"Please come in."

Fang Xing and Huang Zhong looked at each other and felt that the timing of Zhu gaoxu's arrival was wrong.

Zhu gaoxu still came in carelessly, then sat down opposite Fang Xing and said happily, "Fang Xing, Zhu Yong wrote and said that the salt merchants in Yangzhou are soft. Let me work with him."

Fang Xing laughed and said, "Lord, what's the idea of Duke Cheng?"

"He said that those salt merchants are rich. As long as we lure them, we can get rich in everything!"

Zhu gaoxu looked like a brother. I took care of you and said, "how's it going? Will you come?"

"That's a pit. I won't come."

Fang Xing refused Zhu gaoxu's kindness without hesitation.

"You!"

Zhu gaoxu felt that Fang Xing regarded his kindness as a donkey's liver and lung. He was so angry that he pointed to Fang Xing and shouted, "Fang Xing, do you despise the king?"

Fang Xing waved and waited for Huang Zhong to go out before he said, "I said it was a pit. Although it can't bury the Lord, it can also make the Lord disheartened!"

Zhu gaoxu said suspiciously, "what do you mean? Does Zhu Yong dare to cheat the king?"

Fang Xing said with a smile, "he didn't dare to cheat the Lord, but he was worried that he couldn't eat, so he wanted to find someone to share a share, and then he wouldn't attract people's attention."

"Lord, salt administration is a major event of the country. Your majesty finally decided to take it back. If someone makes trouble at this time..."

"The king doesn't want to return to the fief."

Zhu gaoxu said subconsciously. Then he was stunned and said angrily, "does Zhu Yong dare to entrap the king?"

Fang Xing said slowly, "maybe he just wants to give the LORD some benefits."

But this pot needs you Zhu gaoxu to carry the big head!

After sending away Zhu gaoxu, who came in a good mood and returned in a bad mood, Fang Xing's attention turned to his two books.

Movable type printing has low cost and high speed, so it doesn't have to wait for craftsmen to be rigid.

The Ministry of war came and sent more than 100 newly printed books.

Fang woke up and asked Ma Su to check the error, and then asked, "didn't you want it from the household department?"

Xia Yuanji has long said that he wants the second volume of mathematics.

The delivery clerk said with a sad face: "Lord Xia had sent someone to guard the printed room. He took one out of one, and took a total of 50 or 60 copies."

"Did you give me the money?"

Old man, move fast enough!

"No," said the official, "Lord Xia, if you still owe him a few meals, it should be regarded as the meal money."
