    Finally someone used the "Benevolent Merchant" badge and met the emperor very smoothly.

    "Meet Your Majesty!" Wang Mingran bowed respectfully.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Give me a seat."

    Wang Mingran cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Zhao Han picked up the Renshang badge on the table and threw it over to Wang Mingran.  He didn't hear the reason for his visit, but said: "I heard that you have a garden that is not a department. Chen Jiru wrote the name of the garden himself. Now it is an academic exchange center in Hangzhou."

    Wang Mingran replied with a smile: "Your Majesty's witty words, the academic exchange center, although the grassroots have never heard of it before, they can understand what it means when they hear it. It's just that the grassroots don't have that much face, and they just entertain friends occasionally."

    "When I go to the West Lake, I must go to Buxie Garden to play." Zhao Han said.

    "The grass people are waiting for your driver." Wang Mingran said happily.

    The atmosphere of the chat between the two was very casual, and Wang Mingran was regarded as a salt merchant who had made great achievements.  Wang Mingran contributed at least half of Xu Ying's rapid development of the intelligence system in Jiangsu. Of course, she also gained a large share of the salt franchise.

    Unlike the imperial merchants, it is better than the imperial merchants!

    Hearing Zhao Han's self-proclaimed name, he knew that he regarded Wang Mingran as one of his own, otherwise he would definitely call himself "Zhen".

    As for the non-relationship garden, it is a West Lake painting boat, monks and celebrities, qinxiao tea wine, beauties and confidantes, and it is sought after by many literati.  At the same time, there are quite a lot of rules, no servants, no big plays, no noise, no running around to borrow money, no posturing, no red tape In the past two years, it has become more and more famous, and it is already the number one in the south of the Yangtze River.  Talk about making friends.

    After Junmin chatted, Zhao Han asked about the Lianghuai Salt Industry, and Wang Mingran answered carefully and in detail.

    Finally, Zhao Han asked: "Tell me, what's the matter with you this time?"

    Wang Mingran got up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the universities in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces have not finalized their school sites for a long time"

    "I know what you are going to say," Zhao Han interrupted immediately, "Do you want to build a university in Huizhou or Yangzhou?"

    Wang Mingran said: "Your Majesty has learned from you."

    Zhao Han directly gave a clear answer: "It is impossible for universities in Anhui to be built in Huizhou. It is too far away there. How do you let students in northern Anhui go to study?"

    Wang Mingran said: "It can also be built in Anqing. Huizhou merchants are willing to jointly fund the construction of the university with the gentry in Anqing, Tongcheng and other places, and then donate it to the imperial court for free. They will never interfere in school affairs."

    "Okay, you guys can initiate a fundraiser." Zhao Han agreed without hesitation.

    Um?

    So easy?

    Wang Mingran, who had prepared a full stomach for speeches, suddenly didn't know what to say, and immediately knelt down and said, "Caomin, kneel and thank you for your kindness!"

    Although Anqing is not located in the center of Anhui, its location is relatively moderate, and the transportation is very convenient.  It was only because of the strife that Zhao Han was not sure. Since the gentry and merchants were willing to donate, they would sell face to Wang Mingran.

    Zhao Hanhu said again: "But there is one condition."

    "Your Majesty, please order." Wang Mingran responded quickly.

    "Your Wang family, as well as the eight major surnames in Huizhou, and the big clan in Tongcheng, shouldn't it be time for you to separate and move?" Zhao Han seemed to be reminding, but it was more like a threat.

    "This" Wang Mingran could not give an answer on behalf of so many families.

    Zhao Han asked Wang Mingran to sit down again: "I don't want to force others to do things, so I just call on the big families to relocate by themselves. But after a while, only a few big families in the southern provinces separated their children to move to the north. The epidemic in Henan and Shandong last year  After the winter, things have calmed down a lot, and it¡¯s not as scary as you think. Although the imperial court is organizing immigrants, they are all ordinary people. How can it be done without merchants? You merchants can also start a family business if you migrate there.¡±

    Wang Mingran bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, the Wang family of Huizhou, is willing to separate and relocate. But the Caomin cannot replace other big clans to make decisions. Please give the Caomin a month, and the Caomin will definitely convey His Majesty's will."

    "Go," Zhao Han said, waving his hand, "Before you convey the news, you can go to Yangzhou."

    "Follow the order!"

    Wang Mingran bowed and stepped back.

    Wang Mingran didn't know why he was going to Yangzhou, but he understood when he came to the place.

    After only staying in Yangzhou for a few days, Wang Mingran heard commotion on the street, he called his servants and asked, "What happened outside?"

    The servant was both panicked and excited, and said: "Master, there are many officials in military uniforms outside, and they have surrounded the houses of those Western merchants!"

    Military uniforms are the canvas uniforms of the Datong Army.

    At first, only the medical soldiers and dragoons were equipped, and then the navy soldiers also changed their outfits, and finally all DatongSo many whereabouts are unknown, what are they really used for!  "

    Secret guards in black don't have their own cells.

    For this large-scale arrest, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to be borrowed.

    Salt merchant Zhang Wanxue was tied to a torture rack, and torture has not been used yet.

    Xu Ying came to the trial in person, with a gentle appearance and a pleasant face, she smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, confess honestly, and the matter will be over sooner."

    Zhang Wanxue cried, "My lord, the grassroots are wronged!"

    Xu Ying was still smiling all over her face: "Do you know Yang Yiqin? A guy from a Nanjing firm."

    Zhang Wanxue's face turned pale with fright, he knew he was finished.

    Xu Ying added: "Confess honestly, and you won't embarrass your family. Of course, the premise is that they don't know."

    "Really?" Zhang Wanxue felt hopeful again.

    Xu Ying said: "I don't need to coax you. Your Majesty has set the rules. Those who have internal and external enemies, as long as they are not guilty of serious crimes, although they confiscate their property, they are not as guilty as their family members. Children and grandchildren within five generations are not allowed to engage in franchised businesses, nor to be officials.  .¡±

    It's over!

    The descendants of the Five Generations cannot be officials, cannot engage in franchised businesses, and have to confiscate all their property. Even if they don¡¯t die or go to jail, they will be reduced to the bottom of society.

    After five generations of descendants, the class has solidified, how can it be possible to stand up?

    Xu Ying said with a smile: "There is another option. As long as you cooperate well, you can immigrate your family to Taiwan after confiscating your property. Although you still can't be an official or run a franchise business, at least you can divide the fields and cultivate them.  Starve to death without a living."

    Zhang Wanxue said in a crying voice: "How can they farm the land?"

    "Urban civilians, immigrating to the north can learn how to farm. Your family immigrated to Taiwan, so you can't learn how to farm? Are they born more refined and noble?" Xu Ying said disdainfully, "Quickly confess. If you confess, die quickly, no  It's hard to confess, don't force me to use torture, I really can't see that kind of scene. Also, don't hide it, this time you are not the only one arrested. If your confession is not correct, weigh the consequences yourself!"

    "Injustice"

    Zhang Wanxue still wanted to appeal for grievances, but he saw a black-clothed officer slowly approaching with a bamboo stick.

    Another officer in black was holding a small bottle in his hand. He didn't know what was in the bottle, but it was definitely not something good.

    "I recruit!" Zhang Wanxue quickly changed his words.

    But Xu Ying said: "You shouted too slowly, you need to take an injection first to refresh yourself."

    "ah!"

    The bamboo stick pierced hard between the nails, causing Zhang Wanxue to twitch in pain.  This guy was so frightened that he lost control, his crotch was full of urine, and he cried, "I'll do it, I'll do it woo woo woo woo! ?
