Han Jiang did not expect that Cao Bin would be so broad-minded.
Regarding the new refined salt, I first considered the imperial wealth and personal achievements. Although Cao Bin was a dandy in words and deeds, in his heart he valued the people of the world more than himself.
Thinking of the living conditions of the salt people he saw during his visit, he seemed to have some understanding. This may be the reason why the people respected Cao Bin and alienated him.
Looking at Cao Bin, who was sitting crookedly drinking tea with a lazy expression, he fell into a trance for a moment.
Scholars talk about meritorious service, morality and reputation.
At this moment, he seemed to have an illusion. The words full of righteousness seemed to be just words floating in the air, and they were not as real as the lazy Cao Bin in front of him.
Wang Yanling and others always talked about what would happen after eradicating the traitors, but they were so entangled in the court battles that they had to weigh the pros and cons and make a compromise choice.
Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, there were probably only a few people such as Bao Zheng who could completely consider the way of government from the perspective of the common people and practice it in detail.
Recalling the time when he was young and studying in Meiyuan, he was a little ready to make a move.
"Master Caohou, actually Wang Xianggong..."
His head started to heat up, and he was about to tell Wang Yanling's true story as a testimonial, but he felt that doing so was a bit unethical, so he had to shut up, picked up the tea bowl, took a few sips, and forcibly changed the subject:
"Master Hou, there is also the matter of setting up a saltworks union. I understand that Master Hou is considering the overall situation and the people, but this matter has a great impact, and I am afraid the court will not allow it."
Cao Bin didn't know Han Jiang's thoughts, nor was he as selfless as he thought.
Regarding things like the court and fame, he was not as persistent as the scholars of this era. His first goal was glory, wealth, power and enjoyment, and then he was to attack Liao, Xia and other countries. Anyway, he could not let other countries bully him.
The common people are an important part of it, and there are no deep-rooted class divisions like this era.
When Cao Bin heard Han Jiang talking about the trade union, he didn't care and said indifferently:
"Whoever thinks my idea is not good, let him/her be in charge of the salt field."
"I have been ordered to rebuild the salt field. Will it be over once it is built? The rest has nothing to do with me..."
When Han Jiang heard this, she couldn't help but be speechless, and she just wanted to kill him and not bury him.
You have made rules for the salt people and have benefited so many people. If the person in charge objects in the future, why don't the salt people tear him apart?
There are definitely people who oppose it, but no one dares to come forward to correct mistakes and take responsibility.
If it causes a civil unrest, not only will it not benefit, but it will also cause embarrassment.
Moreover, when an organization like a trade union appears, it is difficult to unilaterally dissolve it. In this way, the imperial court's appointment becomes a must-do, so as to prevent the salt workers' union from becoming bigger and beyond the control of the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Han Jiang smiled bitterly and said nothing more. He could only say that he was insidious and cunning, and he was so insidious that others would not be able to attack him.
"Master Marquis, the imperial envoy should arrive soon. What should I do next?"
"Has all the evidence for Yangzhou Hou's rebellion been collected?"
When it came to the imperial court's arrest of her, Han Jiang was still a little worried and wanted to ask Cao Bin about his specific plans.
Although the Marquis of Yangzhou was a bit arrogant, he was extremely cunning and did everything in a flawless manner. He rarely used servants in the palace to do secret things, and he never left written evidence.
So far, he has many witnesses, but few physical evidences.
If "someone" hadn't taken advantage of him to let down his guard this time and forcibly destroyed his secret warehouse, forcing him not to transfer the salt to his own house, it would have been difficult to catch him by normal means.
And Cao Bin took advantage of the opportunity of his being caught to directly defeat his secret power... It must be said that although Cao Bin took advantage of him, his means and courage to break the situation were far better than his own.
It would be perfect if the opponent's courage didn't deceive his own teammate.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. If Cao Bin had collected enough evidence and he worked harder to let the court envoy see his work attitude, he might be a blessing in disguise and get some credit from Cao Bin.
Upon hearing this, Cao Bin smiled:
"Don't worry, Zihua. I have already made a plan. If you cooperate well when the time comes, I will keep you safe and sound."
Although he obtained a lot of confessions from Yancheng officials and the Lotus Gate, which was enough to indict the Marquis of Yangzhou, he still had little chance to completely protect Han Jiang.
Now that Han Jiang is with him, if he is demoted from the capital, his value will be reduced a lot, so he must use a tactic to alert the enemy and deceive the dead men arranged by the Marquis of Yangzhou in the capital.
Even if there is insufficient physical evidence by then, the Marquis of Yangzhou will be eliminated quickly.
But Cao Bin was worried that Han Jiang would be safe and unwilling to take risks, so he made a decision for him.
"I plan to take my wife on a trip to the sea. I heard that Mr. Han is a Tanhualang. You might as well be a guest and write some lyrics and music for me to entertain you. This will also give me a chance to leave my name in history."
Seeing Cao Bin's sinister smile, Han Jiang felt a little unsure, so she could only frown and said depressedly:
"I disappoint the Marquis. Han is not good at poetry."
At this time, he felt a little resentful in his heart. His current situation was very precarious and trembling, but the Marquis was still in the mood to have fun.
I don’t know if he took his own affairs seriously.
Is the newly built salt farm ignored?
If something goes wrong later, Cao Bin himself will be criticized by the court, let alone helping him.
Cao Bin didn't care about him. He just thought it was settled. He got up and asked someone to see off the guests. After saying so much, he already valued Han Jiang. How could he feel comfortable talking to him and go home to be with his wife?
The next day, I don’t know where Cao Bin got a boat full of kabuki artists to go out to sea.
Originally, Cao Bin disliked Han Jiang a little. If he hadn't been worried that he would be secretly taken away by people from Yushitai and Kaifeng Mansion, Cao Bin would not have brought such an eyesore.
But when the Dandy's points reached an unprecedented 500 at the end of the day, Cao Bin became a little jealous of him.
[Congratulations to the host for helping his colleagues to go out of their way to do their job, wasting all day, promoting the dandy style, and will be rewarded with 500 dandy points]
When he first saw this reminder, Cao Bin was a little surprised. I didn’t expect that the Time and Space Mall has such an operation.
In the past, Cao Bin was neglecting his official duties and could earn up to 300 points a day. After bringing Han Jiang with him, he directly increased his gains by two-thirds. If this effect persists, he will be able to gather a full "Eight Hundred Trap Camp" soon. In front of me.
Less than three months is enough.
It's just that the opportunity to make quick money is rare after all. Ten days later, people from Yushitai and Kaifeng Mansion rushed to Yancheng and drove a small boat to catch up with Cao Bin's painting boat.
The leaders were a censor named Huang, and Zhan Zhao of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Hearing the two people asking for a meeting, Han Jiang said nervously:
"Master Marquis, if the court directly asks for a crime, should a subordinate wear official uniform or prison uniform?"
Cao Bin was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly asked Huang and Zhan to get on the boat.
After Huang Yu got on board, he glanced at Han Jiang behind Cao Bin, took out the imperial edict and said:
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister Han Jiang has violated the imperial decrees and trespassed the national laws many times. My subordinates have ordered him to be brought into the court. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands again and said:
"In addition, I also ask the Marquis to hand over the Marquis of Yangzhou to us. We must ask him to go to Beijing to defend himself."
Hearing this, Han Jiang quickly looked at Cao Bin, looking at him eagerly, hoping that he would withstand the pressure for her, but Cao Bin said solemnly:
"Since there is an imperial decree, I will not stop it. However, the Marquis of Yangzhou has been executed by Chief Han, but you can't do anything."
Hearing this, Han Jiang felt that her legs were weak and she quickly said:
"Master Marquis, please don't make fun of me. The Marquis of Yangzhou is under your personal custody. How can you slander him out of thin air?"
He was almost angry to death by Cao Bin. It was fine not to speak up for him, but he dug a hole for himself to take the blame. Did he really want to trap him to death?
Too much bullying of honest people!
Seeing Han Jiang's appearance, even Zhan Zhao frowned a little, and was quite speechless about Cao Bin's cheap "father-in-law". He knew that the Marquis of Yangzhou was not a good person, and he sympathized with Han Jiang, and he did not receive the request from Han Jiang to execute the Marquis of Yangzhou. news, Cao Bin said this to push Han Jiang into the fire pit...
