Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 151 Tao Qian wants to rebel?

Disarmament is impossible. If it were not necessary, Zhang Ming would still want to expand the army.

At this time to expand the army, the finances are really unbearable.

Zhang Ming wrote a very long letter back, and the next day he left Zhuojun and continued south.

At this time, the situation in Xuzhou is also very delicate.

Xi Zhicai ordered that the salted fish be released for sale, and even arranged for many people to set up street stalls.

A large amount of salted fish was sold.

It wasn't until the sixth day that Xi Zhi resumed selling for half a day.

But at this time, many people have a lot of salted fish in their homes.

These salted fish, eat sparingly, they can last for a long time.

Xi Zhicai called Zhuzi over.

"I have some news for you. You are going to spread it out. In two days, you will spread it in all counties at the same time."

Xizhi requires Zhuzi to act day and night, and the news must be spread on time.

"To fight with us, I'm afraid Tao Cishi is not good enough."

Xi Zhicai was very proud, he prepared a big gift for Tao Qian.

I believe Tao Qian will enjoy it very much.

It was time for the seven major salt merchants to prepare. On the evening of the seventh day, they made an appointment to meet at Tanglin Restaurant.

"Is everything ready?" Cao Xing asked first.

"Don't worry, starting tomorrow, Zhang Ming's salted fish will not be so easy to sell. Not only will there be a lot of taxes, but it will take a lot of trouble to get in."

"Well, we raised the price of salted fish to make it easier for us to ship. Now the liquidity is all on it, and life is hard."

"Don't worry, everyone, Zhang Ming will be in trouble soon."

This gathering is mainly to re-confirm the consensus, and then ask how the contacts are going.

After confirming one by one, they will act at the same time the next day and start attacking Zhang Ming.

They are a group of local snakes, and they are not afraid of Zhang Ming, an outsider.

The party was a success and everyone was happy.

"Tao Cishi has acquiesced, and Zhang Ming will cry soon."

"So many salted fish will only make wedding dresses for us."

"This time, within ten days, Zhang Ming will go back to Liaodong in despair."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The party broke up, and they went home to wait for the next day.

At dawn the next day, Xi Zhicai sat alone in the yard drinking tea.

Action has already begun.

Soon, various news will be spread.

"As soon as Tao Cishi took office, he wanted to immigrate to compete for profits, and set up a card to increase taxes."

"Tao Inspector Tao is honest and honest on the surface, but he is actually a treacherous and evil person. He has only been in office for a long time, and taxes will be raised. How can the people live?"

"I heard that Tao Qian is going to rebel. He collects taxes just to recruit soldiers?"

"You don't know that one of Tao Qian's two sons is making money, and the other is making friends with people from all walks of life, preparing to rebel."

If taxes are really raised and checkpoints are set up, Xi Zhicai is ready to pour all the dirty water on Tao Qian and attack him.

When the tax increase is confirmed, there will be all kinds of rumors all over Xuzhou, and it will be enough for Tao Qian to feel uncomfortable.

Of course, Xi Zhicai doesn't know what to do.

"I heard that Tao Qian is going to increase taxes, all taxes. The owner who sells salted fish has said that there is a lot of inventory, and the price will not increase."

"There will be no price increase. If there is no stock, everyone will wait for a few days."

"You can wait, anyway, there are ten salted fish at home."

"Ten salted fish? A local tyrant."

"Hahaha, my family has fifteen salted fish."

"It's fine if you don't raise the price, it's fine if you don't raise the price."

Xi Zhicai had known for a long time that the big families were hoarding a large amount of salted fish, so he released the news and promised not to raise the price.

At this time, the people still have a lot of stock in their hands, which is enough for them to eat for a while, and even if they don't sell it for a while, it will be fine.

At this time, their inventory is indeed not very large. If the outside cannot be brought in, it will only be enough to sell for two and a half days.

Xi Zhicai has arranged for people to set up stalls in various places.

Set up a stall to flow, so that many people can buy it.

Several big families are still waiting for news, and Tao Qian has been paying attention to this matter. He has just taken office, and if there is a major event, it will be disastrous for him.

"Lord Inspector."

"My lord, something is wrong."

The long history of the governor's mansion came in a panic, and Tao Qian couldn't help but tremble. Today is the day to attack Zhang Ming's salted fish. Could something have happened?

"My lord, there are rumors that your lord is going to rebel."

"Also, my lord wants to raise taxes and compete with the people for profit."

Tao Qian trembled all over, competing with the people for profit, these four words are too heavy.

These four words can destroy a person, and can make a person with a high reputation fall to the bottom all at once.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court was poor, and those scholars and businessmen from aristocratic families, the rich would die, and the emperor wanted to increase taxes. The Donglin Party began to attack the emperor, using a saying that they could not compete with the people for profit, so that the emperor could not increase taxes. Business tax, and finally the country went bankrupt.

At this time, someone attacked Tao Qian and fought for profit with the people.

"Whoever is spreading rumors will be arrested."

Tao Qian was angry. When he became an official in the late Han Dynasty, his reputation was very important.

This kind of ruining his reputation is like digging his ancestral grave.

"Master Inspector, not just one or two, but the whole Xiapi City has spread the word."

Tao Qian's heart skipped a beat, this matter is not easy.

After realizing that it was not easy, Tao Qian said: "Go and investigate immediately, what's going on."

This is not a trivial matter. If it spreads widely and his reputation is ruined, he, Tao Qian, will not have to be an official, at least he will have to be an official in another place.

"A bunch of trash."

Tao Qian thought, it must be that these aristocratic families did not operate well, leaked the news in advance, or some other reason.

In the evening, those who went to investigate came back.

"Master Inspector, this is not a good thing."

"how?"

"It's spread all over the streets and alleys, as if there is no one who doesn't know about it."

Tao Qian was stunned, even if there were some rumors, it shouldn't be like this.

Tao Qian's IQ was online, and he immediately realized that someone did it on purpose.

"It must be Zhang Ming."

Tao Qian could think that only Zhang Ming dared to do this and had a motive.

It was indeed Zhang Ming, but how did it spread all over the streets and alleys in one day?
Zhang Ming's communication technology and concepts are much more advanced than those of the ancients. In terms of intelligence, Zhang Ming's later generations have watched so many spy war dramas, at least they know how to use codes on the street.

As for dissemination, gossip, plus a few words about my cousin's neighbors, my aunt's relatives, etc., will work best.

Word spread.

This caught the seven major salt merchants by surprise, and they were in Xiapi City at this time.

When I heard the news, I was immediately dumbfounded. This plot is completely wrong.

At this time, everyone thought that it was just Xiapi City, and someone was playing tricks in Xiapi City.

On this day, they started to act and set up cards.

Many salted fish were stopped, but they stopped directly outside the checkpoint, the people were there, they didn't leave, and they didn't pay taxes.

No matter what, the seven major salt merchants temporarily stopped the salted fish.

At this time, the salted fish was stopped by many places and could not be transported.
