Chapter 351

Jiajing hated Lu Bing very much at this moment, because Lu Bing had hidden too many things from him before, and he had no idea that those salt could get back so much money, and he didn't know that those princes had so much money. With so much money, the court still needs to give those princes money every year, and the annual money is more than 200 million taels.
And it will increase every year. For the court, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger. The court has no money, and it has to bear such a big pressure. This makes Jiajing very annoyed.

Jiajing blamed Lu Bing for all of this. In fact, Lu Bing cannot be blamed at all. The matter of salt has existed from the beginning, but the population was small, and the demand for salt was small. In addition, salt was cheap at the beginning, so no one could Thinking that the profit of table salt is so high, all these profits go into the pockets of the princes.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Fang heard that Jiajing was so determined, she couldn't continue to persuade her, so she could only surrender.

"When Zhang Hao comes back, you ask Zhang Hao to ask Lu Bing, how can I stop him, he deceived me so much!" Jiajing continued to explain to Lu Fang.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Fang nodded again and said,
On Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao just stared at Yu Dafang as a prison car. There is no way, there are too many prison cars needed. As for the confessions of those clans, Zhang Hao no longer wants to ask, there is nothing to ask, all the salt merchants said Now, when the time comes, those mouths will be shown to Jiajing, and Jiajing will naturally know what to do.

As for their confession, they will say it in due course. For the next two days, Zhang Hao will be staring at the completion of the prison car.
And other vassal kings also received Jiajing’s imperial decree one after another, asking them to return to Beijing to worship their ancestors. Some vassal kings have opinions. If they want to worship their ancestors, they should go to Nanjing instead of Beijing. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in Nanjing. Why did they go to Beijing to worship their ancestors?

Those princes are also very conflicted now. They also know about the arrest of King Jin. They are worried that Jiajing has plans to withdraw the domain this time. If Jiajing wants to withdraw the domain this time, they will have nothing to do. When they arrived in Beijing, they couldn't afford to be fooled, but they didn't dare not go,

If you don't go, what will happen when Jiajing starts to clean up?Therefore, those vassal kings are sitting at home worrying at the moment, and they have also sent people to Beijing to inquire about more news.

This morning, Zhang Hao's prison van was ready, and Zhang Hao began to load all those people into the prison van, and then took the imperial guards, and Jin Yiwei set off from Taiyuan. Yu Dafang and two other local officials , also came to see Zhang Hao away.

"Master Yu, when did you come to the capital, remember to look for me!" Zhang Hao said to Yu Dafang.

"Definitely, definitely!" Yu Dafang said immediately, cupping his hands.

"The spring plowing is about to start soon. Those farmlands that have been confiscated may be distributed to the common people at that time. What should I do? The emperor has not given me any news. I have already written a memorial. I guess it will take It will be resolved after I return to the capital!" Zhang Hao continued to explain to Yu Dafang.

"The lower official knows, the lower official is waiting for the news from the court, and will follow the request of the court." Yu Dafang said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first, and we'll meet later!" Zhang Hao said to the three of them, clasping his hands.

The three of them immediately bowed their hands in return,

Zhang Hao got on his horse and began to rush towards the capital, but Zhang Hao would not wait for those prison cars. The prison cars were pressed down by the Imperial Guards, and no one dared to approach them, but the Imperial Guards moved slowly. By the way, it will take more than two days, Zhang Hao can't follow them slowly, but needs to go back in advance,
In the evening, Zhang Hao arrived at the capital. After a long day of traveling, he was exhausted, but he still needed to go to the palace. Zhang Hao had just arrived outside Yuxi Palace. After seeing Zhang Hao, the Jinyi guards saluted immediately.

"Master Commander, you are back, the emperor has missed you several times!"

"Master Commander, hurry up, I will lead you the horse!".
Those Jinyiwei were very enthusiastic about Zhang Hao. A few days ago, Lu Bing was moved outside. The emperor had already made up his mind to exile Lu Bing, but the process is still going on. Jinyiwei will be Zhang Hao in charge in the future, and No one can replace him, but Zhang Hao doesn't know all of this yet.

"Okay, you lead the horses, Shen Lian, you go back first, when the time comes, I will ask the brother of the inner guard to take me back, and you have been tired for a long time!" Zhang Hao said to Shen Lian and the others.

"Yes, my lord!" Shen Lian and the others heard Zhang Hao's words, and immediately said with cupped hands.Zhang Hao, on the other hand, took a few bags and let the brother Jin Yiwei of the inner guard carry them, and went straight to the alchemy room.

Before reaching the alchemy room, the eunuch on duty at the door of the alchemy room saw Zhang Hao approaching from a distance, and ran in immediately.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Marquis Lu An is back!" the eunuch shouted as he entered.

"Oh, I'm back, hurry up, let him in quickly, and besides, Lu Fang, hurry up and prepare something to eat, this kid must not have eaten!" Jiajing said very happily when he heard it.

"Hey, the servant girl is going to prepare immediately!" Lu Fang was also happy,

With Zhang Hao around, Jiajing has energy and courage to do things, and those of them who are slaves don't worry that Jiajing will lose their heads if they are angered, because Jiajing won't notice those slaves at all, but think of a way Arguing with Zhang Hao.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao shouted loudly after entering.

"What are you shouting for? Where are you here? You bastard, you know you're coming back?" Jiajing sat there, scolding Zhang Hao with an unhappy face. Those eunuchs are very happy, knowing that Jiajing is very happy now .

"What do you mean? Why didn't I know to come back? Your majesty, you talk like this, it hurts people. It's more than 600 miles. I rode for almost 6 hours before I arrived in the capital. My buttocks are about to crack!" Zhang Hao Shouted complaining to Jiajing.

"Oh, that's fine, those who didn't know thought you were doing it?" Jiajing waved his hand at Zhang Hao and said with contempt.

"Your Majesty, if you say this, I will come back slowly next time. Those prisoners haven't been brought yet, and the confiscated items haven't been brought either! I'm still on the way. If I had known, I would have come back with the army I'm done, so I don't have to hurry, I don't have much to eat!" Zhang Hao continued to complain.

"Okay, come and sit down, Jinshui, make tea!" Jiajing greeted Yang Jinshui after speaking.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yang Jinshui immediately said with a smile, and then began to make tea.

"Your Majesty, I've made a big fuss this time, haha, Your Majesty, come and have a look!" Zhang Hao told the Jin Yiwei to come in with the money.

"What's the big deal? Can you talk? I asked you to do errands, not to search for money!" Jiajing immediately glared at Zhang Hao and said.

"Your Majesty, it's really crazy!" Zhang Hao said as he untied those bags and dumped them on the ground. They were all silver bills. There were eight bags in total, and they contained more than 2200 million taels of silver bills. The money obtained by people from the Shang and King Jin families.

"So, so many?" Jiajing was also a little surprised to see that the ground was full of bank notes.

"That's right, there are still a lot of things that haven't been sold. If I don't have time to sell them, I'll get them back and hand them over to the emperor for you to deal with!" Zhang Hao said proudly to Jiajing.

"How many more?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I don't know. I guess if all of them are sold, I can still sell one for 2000 million taels. They are all good things. Here is 2200 million taels!" Zhang Hao pointed to the ground and said to Jiajing.

"How much!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao in shock and asked.

"More than 2200 million taels, by the way, the account book is here, the emperor, please take a look, and add one when you are free!" Zhang Hao took out the account book and said to Jiajing.

"More than 2200 million taels?" Jiajing hurried to Zhang Hao's side at this moment, took over the account book, and looked at it carefully. It contained the banknotes copied when the house was raided, and there was also silver in a carriage. , There are about 300 million taels of silver on the carriage, all of which are white and white.

"Well, you bastard, you went to Shanxi this time, but you got the taxes of Ming Dynasty in [-]!" Jiajing looked up at Zhang Hao and said.

"Hey, Your Majesty, you can continue to exempt from taxes, so that the people can rest and recuperate!" Zhang Hao said happily, looking at Jiajing.

"Okay, okay, more than 2200 million taels, all here?" Jiajing pointed to the money on the ground and asked Zhang Hao.

"Yes, count it, it will probably take a day!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"I don't want to order, what else can I order? Let Lu Fang clean up later, and now I can dare to do a lot of things!" Jiajing said happily.

"Your Majesty, you are rich now, you owe us the money in Shuntian Mansion, you should pay it back, we still have to do things in Shuntian Mansion!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said,

Jiajing stared at him.

"No, Your Majesty, don't you want to renege on your debt?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing suspiciously and said.

"I can still renege on debts? Can you have some insight, you bastard? Ah, I just received the money and I am happy, so you come to ask for debts?" Jiajing scolded Zhang Hao.

"I'm not stupid. Your Majesty, you will be happy with so much money. If I ask for money, you will definitely agree!" Zhang Hao still looked at Jiajing proudly and said.

"No money!" Jiajing said with a dark face, he had no intention of paying it back at all, that is, Zhang Hao is still the Governor of Shuntian Mansion, if he changed to another governor, would he dare to ask him for money?
"What?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing dumbfounded, no money?The ground is full of money.Thinking of this, Zhang Hao immediately squatted down and started counting the money.

"Hey, what do you want?" Jiajing immediately pointed at Zhang Hao and shouted.

"Your Majesty, it's only right and proper to pay off debts, and the people of our Shuntian Mansion live on these money!" Zhang Hao shouted to Jiajing angrily.
