Zi Junliang was walking on the street, seemingly interested in everything here.
However, his eyes were not looking at those things, but looked back from time to time, as if he was looking at something.
After walking around the street a few times, he walked straight into a private house.
It looks like an ordinary private house, but after entering, I find that the decoration inside does not look simple, and even some of the ornaments are of high value.
When the people in the room, dressed in black, saw him coming, a flash of joy flashed in their eyes, and they immediately stood up from the couch.
"coming."
Zi Junliang nodded, ignored the man, and sat directly on the couch opposite him.
The expression on his face was very serious. After glancing at the surrounding environment, he said slowly: "The imperial court has taken control of the salt pool and salt well. Do you know about this?"
The man in black didn't care about his attitude, smiled and sat down.
After hearing his words, an indifferent expression appeared on his face.
"I already knew it."
"The purpose of summoning you to Xianyang this time is to ask you to hand over what you have in your hands. What's the surprise when the court does this?"
"It's just that I didn't expect them to move so fast, so I was caught off guard."
"What do the rest of the people think of this matter?"
Hearing this, Zi Junliang's face was obviously a little ugly, especially about the imperial court's control of salt ponds and wells. This man knew about it but didn't tell him.
This is obviously deception!
Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, there was no sign of it on his face.
He even thought about it seriously when mentioning the other family heads.
"Presumably, it was a compromise in the end."
"Fusu made it very clear yesterday that the salt and iron monopoly is a foregone conclusion. Regardless of whether they agree or not, they must accept it."
"And I feel that there must be someone behind Fusu that day. Otherwise, with Fusu's character, there are certain things and words that he would not be able to do."
Although Zi Junliang doesn't like to talk, he is very observant.
But in front of them, Fusu's every word was obviously carefully thought out and seemed to be his own thoughts.
But that's why it seems a bit deliberate.
At that time, they were all nervous about their own interests, and no one thought that there would be anyone who could make Fu Suyan do what he wanted.
There was a sneer on the man in black's face, and then he nodded clearly.
"That person should be Ran Fang."
"Fusu went to see Ran Fang a few days ago. Since then, Fusu has been investigating the collusion between North Korean and Chinese officials and salt merchants. Some of them have been arrested and sent to Xianyang Prison."
"This was done very secretly, it must be Ran Fang's handiwork."
"I was worried that Ran Fang would also notice you, so I kept you quiet. It seems that our plan was successful. As long as you take over the sale of refined salt, the salt pond and salt well will definitely come back to you. inside."
Hearing this, Zi Junliang nodded sincerely.
It was obvious that he believed in this person very much.
"Here."
"Since they want to go against Fusu, then I will be the first one to surrender."
"Then everything will fall into place!"
The man in black showed a satisfied expression on his face. He chose to cooperate with him in the first place because he knew the current affairs and knew how to advance and retreat.
Although the strength is not as good as the other families, if one family is the only one, then the other families will become a joke!
"good!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
"Ran Fang has been paying close attention these past few days. You and I will not contact each other for now. I will celebrate your success after the matter is completed."
After saying this, both of them had a look of determination on their faces.
It is as if the things now experienced have successfully fallen into their hands, and even seen that the best interests they sought have been successful.
"good!"
"Wait for my good news!"
…
Ever since Fusu passed the news to them, the members of the four major families no longer have the arrogance of the past, and they have been thinking about how to restore their previous interests all day long.
But now that they are in Xianyang, they have no idea what happened at home, and even the news they spread has fallen into disarray.
Everyone was silent, knowing that they had no right to resist now.
So when Fusu invited them to get together again, they didn't dare to show any signs of neglect, and their clothes were much neater.
It was still the same house as that day. Several people stood at the door and looked at it, but they seemed to see a "devil" with its teeth and claws, trying to devour everything they had!
Even so, several people still lowered their heads and slowly walked into the house.
This time, there was another person sitting next to Fusu, leaning against the pillar behind him with lazy eyes.
It can be seen that he chose this position himself.
The only person who dared to be so casual in front of Fusu, and also looked so free and easy, could only be the legendary Ran Fang.
Several people bent down and said in unison: "See Mr. Fusu, the commander."
"Get up."
After Fusu finished speaking, he looked at Ran Fang there.
But Ran Fang didn't seem to hear the sound. He closed his eyes tightly and was feeling the sunshine.
Seeing this, Fusu had to face the few people in front of him alone.
"Everyone, how are things going?"
The four people looked at each other, and Miao Yutang was the first to speak: "Master Fusu, is this going too far?"
“Not only do we want to occupy the salt ponds and wells, but we also have to drive out all our salt workers.”
"Isn't this pushing us to a dead end?"
"Those salt workers rely on salt for a living. How will they live in the future?"
"Master Fusu is doing this for the sake of the people of this world, but we are also members of the people, so we can't be treated like this!"
The toughness of the previous days was completely gone from his words. Instead, he began to play the emotional card, hoping to see the face of the poor people and let them live.
But they made a mistake. Ran Fang, who had not opened his eyes, suddenly spoke.
He still maintained the same posture as before and said slowly: "Don't worry."
"The imperial court will re-employ those salt workers after they dismiss them, and it will not cause harm to their lives."
"And what happens to them in the future has nothing to do with everyone here."
"As for who to hire, I won't bother you to worry about it. After all, not all of them are available."
"This..." Miao Yutang, who was still complacent at first, suddenly looked very ugly.
If they invite all their people out, then those industries will have nothing to do with them in the future.
The family fortune they have worked hard to save for generations will be in vain!
Thinking of this, Miao Yutang's attitude became a little tougher.
"I'm afraid we can't agree to this!"
Ran Fang understands best what these people are thinking.
Hearing Miao Yutang's words, he rarely opened his eyes and glanced around everyone present.
He then said calmly: "Master Miao, this is not a discussion, but a notification."
"Whether you agree or not, this matter is a foregone conclusion!"
"But Your Majesty always pays attention to convincing people with reason. In order to convince you, I have prepared some gifts for you. Please take a look."
"It's not too late to make a decision after seeing these."
