Laiyun building can only be regarded as a second-class restaurant in Yangzhou. When Xin Laoqi showed his identity, even if it was not a meal, the shopkeeper still didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately called the cook and waiter to prepare for cooking.

When Xin Laoqi saw that the guys were in a mess, he said, "eight dishes and one soup per table. If the dishes are home-made, you can't waste money, or you'll pay for it yourself."

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this. He said, "my Lord, the cook in the shop has inherited three generations of experts, you..."

Xin Laoqi said hard, "this is what my master said. You can do it yourself."

The shopkeeper had to go to the back kitchen with a bitter smile. He had to watch these dishes in person, or if something went wrong, his family's head would be lost.

Xin Laoqi sat in the lobby. Outside the door stood a sergeant with a small flag. The feast was about to begin

Fang Xing was talking to Xiao Zhen at this time.

"Ben Bo has made a memorial about you. Although your son made a mistake, you didn't give in. I believe your majesty can see this. Therefore, as long as you can quell the salt merchant rebellion, Ben Bo guarantees that you will atone for your achievements and won't be demoted."

Xiao Zhen said gratefully, "thanks to my uncle, thank you very much. Thank you very much!"

After a few words, Xiao Zhen said his worries.

"Uncle, do you want them to bow down? It's not nonsense. Those salt merchants are greedy in the eye of money and only recognize money!"

Fang woke up and nodded, "Benbo knows, so Benbo is still here."

……

Fang woke up twice and went to Yangzhou. There were always fewer people in Yangzhou, so all the salt merchants in the city came within half an hour.

After entering the Laiyun building, the salt merchants only saw the yellow bell.

"Everyone is working hard. Please sit down."

Huang Zhong sat in the first place, and then the salt merchants sat down one after another. At the counter, Xiaodao is practicing calligraphy. What can be practiced is not calligraphy, but people's names.

"Those are from Miao Chengfu school, including Huang Bin..."

Xiaodao listened to the introduction of the officials sent by Xiao Zhen and recorded the situation of each salt merchant.

"Serve."

With Huang Zhong's orders, the dish came up like water.

Five of the eight dishes are vegetable tofu, but salt merchants eat it very "fragrant".

Wine is light wine. After three rounds, Huang Zhong got up and said, "you are all capable people on the rich side. Uncle said that as long as you can handle the salt policy reform properly, the court will certainly take into account your efforts and make compensation."

Salt merchants listened with a smile, but they scoffed in their hearts.

Who are you fooling?

Everyone knows Zhu Di's virtue. There is no sand in his eyes.

If there is no pit Zhu Yong, then we still believe a little.

But now, ha ha!

Huang Zhong didn't say much. He sat down and ate it, which made the salt merchants despise it.

A few dry words just want us to set up. Is this xinghebo's means? The emperor TAISUN of Daming has such a teacher. The future is worrying!

The meal was very boring and slow. After Huang Zhong put down his chopsticks, the salt merchants were ready to go, but he said with a smile: "uncle said, if you sincerely want to repent, send out the salt in the warehouse immediately. Consider it yourself and go slowly."

"Sure, I'll send it back."

"Don't worry, sir. I'll send out the salt in the warehouse right away."

“……”

Hearing these promises, Huang Zhong bowed his hands and said, "thank you very much. I'll tell Uncle when I go back. The reward from the court must come soon."

"They won't send."

When Huang Zhong went back to tell Fang Xing, Fang Xing said, "I just want them to feel that they are throwing a rat in the face of this matter, otherwise they won't be willing to spend money to invite these people to dinner!"

"Does uncle want to be proud of the enemy?"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "yes, all preparations are still in preparation. If you rush to do it, it will really be a deterrent."

So a meal that attracted the attention of the Yangzhou family ended like a tiger's head and a snake's tail. Civil politicians thought it was a victory for the salt merchants.

"They can run."

Xiao Zhen came in a hurry, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "uncle, the lower official thinks about it day and night. He feels that since these salt merchants know that this matter can't be done well, they don't see any action. They must be planning money and ready to escape at any time."

Fang Xing appreciated: "your analysis is good. They must run, but at this time, the army is blocked in and outside the city. They must find loopholes."

Xiao Zhen thought, "uncle, you invited them to dinner today. Is that the layout?"

"Take your time."

Fang Xing doesn't believe anyone in Yangzhou, so he won't disclose his layout.

……

Fang Xing's memorial was quickly sent to Zhu Di.

"... the salt merchants have become trouble. It can't last long to fight against the Ming Dynasty with merchants."

"... the minister has cast a big net, so he is waiting to seal the Yangzhou mansion, and then start. He just needs to inform all places quickly and be ready to respond at any time..."

Zhu Di showed the memorial to Zhu Zhanji, and then said, "does Xinghe Bo want to finish his work in the first battle? I'll wait and see how many people his big net can catch."

"Your Majesty, Duke Cheng pleaded outside the temple."

Sitting in Zhu Di's position, he could see the situation outside the hall. He looked at Zhu Yong kneeling outside the hall and said disdainfully, "let him go home!"

……

After the meal in the building, Yangzhou Prefecture strangely calmed down, but the whole South and even the north are suffering from salt shortage.

Fang Xing stayed at the station every day, as if he didn't know that the storm had gathered over Yangzhou Prefecture.

This afternoon, a man in plain clothes with a sea smell entered the courtyard and found Fang Xing. Then Fang Xing called his subordinates.

"The time has come."

Fang Xing pointed to the man sitting under his head and said, "this is Fu Xian, the commander of the Navy."

"I've seen Lord Fu."

Fu Xian's face looked as black as ever. He smiled and said, "you're very polite. I'm just here to cooperate with Xinghe Bo. I'll invite you when I'm done."

"Good! Lord Fu is straightforward!"

Shen Hao cheered loudly. When he found that he was the only one who spoke, he couldn't help complaining secretly.

"Shen Hao will stay in the city tonight."

Fang Xing's words overjoyed Shen Hao and hurriedly said, "thank you for your attention, sir. I will catch those salt merchants tonight."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Lin Qun'an is in charge in the city, cooperate with governor Xiao to maintain order in the city, and remember not to mess, not to stop salt merchants from fleeing, or even force them to flee, okay?"

"Uncle, I understand. I'll cancel the rotation later and all the sergeants will patrol the streets."

"Very good!"

Fang Xing was satisfied with Lin Qun'an's understanding, and then he continued to order, "Wu Yue."

"Uncle!"

Wu Yue went to the middle to hold his fist and listen to the order.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Lin Qun'an will scare the snake. The salt merchants will jump over the wall, but they don't dare to go by land, so... You take someone to take down the officials who collude with the salt merchants immediately, and then pretend to be profitable and hurry out of the city. Let's go to the East."

"Yes, uncle!"

Fang woke up, glanced at the crowd, shook his eyebrows and said, "those salt merchants thought I would be a rat repellent, so I'll give them a drastic pay today!"
