Wang Zhaojing coughed and said, "Eunuch Cui is wrong. Half of the three-year tax in these places should have 15,000 taels per year."

Cui Wensheng was stunned, coughed violently for a few times, and then asked again, "What are you trying to do?"

Perhaps I felt that my problem was too weak and my position was a little loose. Eunuch Cui said with a stern expression: "Huai'an Prefecture produces salt, and the salt tax input accounts for one-third of the national treasury. Qingjiangpu is a canal transport hub and the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for you to control these places. Our family cannot agree, and the court will not agree."

"We have not controlled the water transport in Haizhou Salt Industry and Qingjiangpu. Haizhou has local governments, salt government yamen, Qingjiangpu has Huai'an Prefecture and Shanyang County magistrate, as well as the Ministry of Revenue and the water transport yamen. It is not operating as usual now. When the canal is opened, everything will be as normal. How can it be controlled?" Wang Zhaojing asked indifferently.

Eunuch Cui shook his head. He was a little confused. What these young people said was very reasonable, but Cui Wensheng felt that it must be not simple. There must be traps and conspiracies he could not have imagined. He began to regret it. This time, he came to Xuzhou to seek confidentiality, but did not bring his aides. Cui Wensheng claimed to be smart and thought it was just a negotiation with a few local sticks in Xuzhou. Who would have thought that the talks were hard to figure out. If he could bring an aide, even if he couldn't think of it, it would be better to be able to discuss each other in detail than to be alone.

Thinking of Wei Zhongxian's explanation in his letter, the eunuch Cui Wensheng was silent for a moment, cleared his throat and said, "Our family can't understand your request, but our family also knows that no one in the world is willing to do a loss-making business. You must have your own plans to do this. Let us tell our family about this plan. Otherwise, even if our family agrees, they will be beaten back to the court later. Not only will our family be guilty, but this trick will not be done."

I don’t know if it’s the role of “three years of tax and half a share”, but Cui Wensheng’s attitude has become much softer.

Hearing his question, Wang Zhaojing hesitated for a moment, but turned to look at Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin smiled and said, "The court makes money from the court, we make money from ours. The court originally wanted it. We picked it up. Isn't it all happy?"

Although Zhao Jin's words were vague, Cui Wensheng understood after a little thought. This was similar to his experiences and thoughts on the road. Eunuch Cui breathed a sigh of relief. He was not beyond his own expectations, but he was a little dissatisfied. This business is a rootless duckweed, and it is not a military and country's support. If you want to make a fuss about it, these young people are still short-sighted.

Seeing Eunuch Cui silent, Wang Zhaojing asked tentatively, "Since that's the case, then will this trick be done?"

Cui Wensheng nodded subconsciously. Although this trick was angry, it was much simpler than expected. This condition did not hurt the court's dignity, and it was nothing more than the default rules of the center. Of course, this center means Wei Zhongxian and Eunuch Wei.

If you think about it carefully, the requirement of not collecting heavy taxes makes it difficult for the whole family to be embarrassed, but if it is changed to a disaster here and exempting taxes for three years, the other party can promise a benefit of ten thousand taels per year. This is a good thing turns into a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Cui Wensheng nodded a lot, and his face calmed down. At this time, Zhao Jin, who was sitting there, spoke again: "Eunuch Cui, I know that this negotiation cannot be on paper. There must be a tacit understanding between the top and bottom. Xuzhou is not going to rebel. The government offices of one prefecture and four counties in Xuzhou are all there, and the same is true in other places. However, if someone feels frustrated and wants to make trouble, it is definitely not us who are embarrassed and unlucky at that time. Eunuch Cui, you must give me some advice carefully."

The atmosphere that had just been relaxed was gone. The eunuch Cui Wensheng was in a high position. Despite the ups and downs and downs, his power and status were self-righteous and arrogant, so naturally he could not tolerate such contempt among others. Besides, there were only a few young boys. When it came to this point, he could not break up. Cui Wensheng just said coldly: "Our family has no choice but to do it, and we have to report it to the court. We must recognize everyone from the inner court and the outside court. Long live the emperor to agree, and this will be achieved."

"It won't be so troublesome, just Eunuch Wei agrees." Zhao Jin said with a smile.

Cui Wensheng narrowed his eyes, but his words made him a little confused. Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, Eunuch Wei entered the ritual supervision of the company, and Wang An was imprisoned. Now, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive. Everyone in the inner court bowed his head, so he naturally had a great reputation. The head of the inner court, and the outer court dared not disrespect. At present, Eunuch Wei was in charge of this matter from beginning to end, and he was in control of everything. But the key is, how did the young martial artist in Xuzhou know about it?

Not to mention the mere Xuzhou local sticks, even the officialdom in Nanzhili and the core places like Nanjing, they only know that Eunuch Wei is of high power, but no one can clearly realize that Eunuch Wei has reached such a level of power. How did he know?

"Even if Eunuch Wei nodded, this may not be possible. You don't know how much trouble you have caused. The canal transportation has been cut off by you. It's almost October now. When the river is closed, there will be no enough food for winter in the capital. No matter how you cover it up, it will shock the government and the people. At that time, we must follow the root of the matter. I am afraid that by that time, the court will have to fight if they don't want to fight. Such a big thing will always be explained by the head." Eunuch Cui said slowly. Although what he explained was the truth, he also had the intention of not wanting Zhao Jin and the others to be too proud.

But after these words, Cui Wensheng did not see any cautious and solemn or disappointed expressions on Zhao Jin and the people around him. Zhao Jin just nodded and said, "Eunuch Cui said it well, but winter is almost coming, autumn is high and horses are fat, and border towns are also at the same time to use troops to prevent troops. The Jurchens and Mongolia must guard against each other. Liao Town is even more important. Even if the court wants to fight, I don't know where to draw troops from? Or the border camp, then the Tartars don't need to be prepared?"

"It's shameless to take advantage of others' dangers and not know the righteousness at all." Eunuch Cui cursed angrily, but he was shocked and suspicious. He had seen Zhao Jin as such an outstanding person, and thought that it was common for young heroes to be far superior to his peers, but this analysis of the general trend of the world made Cui Wensheng doubt again. Who was the guide behind Zhao's name? Is that Wang Youshan? The letter from the capital said that he was also an ordinary person, who would it be?

When Cui Wensheng scolded him like this, Zhao Jin, Chen Huang, Ji Xiang and Liu Yong remained calm. Ji Xiang even had a sarcastic sneer on his face. However, Wang Zhaojing had a hint of embarrassment on his face. He couldn't help but lower his head, and then hurriedly raised his head again. Because he was a little anxious, he didn't even notice that Chen Huang glanced over.

"It's not taking advantage of others' danger. If we want to make money from the national crisis, we will not accept the revenge at all this time. Just continue to fight." Zhao Jin said it very normally.

Eunuch Cui was so angry that he laughed again by Zhao Jin's words. His voice became sharp and he said there: "Young people don't know that the world is high and the earth is strong after winning two games. There will be two hundred years of Ming Dynasty. From Long Live to the people below, everyone has backbone. In the Tumu Fort Incident, the rise of the little prince, Altan invaded, and the Japanese invasion in the southeast. The country and the country have survived again and again. How dare you be so arrogant? Zhao Jin, we see that you are also a talent, and maybe we went astray for a while and did such a wrong thing. It would be better to take advantage of this recruitment and enter the main road, work and be loyal to the official family and glorify our ancestors."

Before he knew it, Cui Wensheng had already begun to persuade and recruit. The Ming Dynasty always focused on recruiting rioters who could not be surrendered, not to mention that Cui Wensheng really felt that the other party was talented.

Zhao Jin smiled, but was not excited, but said to himself: "Eunuch Cui may not know that it will take at least ten days for the news from Sichuan to the capital to pass on the fast horse, but it will take less than ten days for the Jiangnan side. The reason is very simple. Sichuan salt is much cheaper than Huai salt. The salt merchants in Yangzhou have sent people to watch it closely on Sichuan. Once there is more salt flowing into Huguang, they have to use a fast ship to send a message to Yangzhou, or use local governments or go to the court to do activities."

"So what?" Cui Wensheng was impatient when he heard this, not knowing why he talked about such a meaningless thing.

"So, the news here will be known very quickly. The news I just learned the day before yesterday was that the Sichuan She family raised the banner and rebelled, killed the governor and general in Chongqing, and were plundering prefectures and counties, saying that they wanted to besiege Chengdu. In such a chaos, the court must have large troops to encircle and suppress it. Maybe they would have to mobilize the border troops from Shaanxi and Shanxi, right?" Zhao Jin asked.

Hearing this, Cui Wensheng was stunned at first, then his face changed, and he said gritted his teeth: "I am really ambition. I don't know how to serve the country, but I took advantage of the situation to rob. This She family really deserves to be cut into pieces."

"Eunuch Cui has been a figure who has been a lie supervisor. He has been at the center for a long time and knows the world. When this news comes, I don't know who the She family is." Cui Wensheng's unmoving criticism made Wang Zhaojing very embarrassed and annoyed, and he couldn't help but sarcastically.

But at this time, Cui Wensheng was not as confident as before. He stood there for a while, but sat down on his own. Everyone could see that he was in a low mood.

"Yongning She's family is in chaos, I'm afraid that the Shuixi's family will not be stable," Eunuch Cui said to himself.

After hearing this, Zhao Jin looked at Wang Zhaojing. Wang Zhaojing also shook his head. The name of Yongning She Family was known from Yangzhou a few days ago. At that time, I didn't hear anything about Shuixi'an Family.

Talking to himself, Cui Wensheng slapped the table heavily and said indignantly: "These local officials have received the favor of the country in the world, but they are all ambitions. Once there is something wrong in the Ming Dynasty, no one wants to serve the country, but they all think that they should be killed by biting their mouths in the Ming Dynasty."
