Li Min couldn't help but frown and asked: "Since Lingnan Road is rampant with thieves, don't you know how to eradicate these thieves?"
Lin Zhi smiled bitterly again and said: "Why don't you think about Lingnan Road? But the imperial court's control over Lingnan Road is extremely weak, and the terrain of Lingnan Road is extremely complex, with many steep mountains and worms and snakes running rampant, so there is no spare power to exterminate these thieves."
Li Min asked again: "Then we from Yizhou send troops directly to Lingnan Road to escort a batch of salt back, right?"
Lin Jie said helplessly: "However, without the emperor's decree, the government troops are not allowed to leave the country at will."
To participate in the battle, Zhe Chong Mansion must have the other half of the Emperor's Tiger Talisman.
Even Li Min's imperial guards must not leave Yizhou without an imperial edict, otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion.
Li Min was still not very familiar with the system of the Tang Dynasty, so he had not thought of this.
Li Min asked again: "Can't I, Yizhou, make my own salt?"
Lin Jie explained again: "Actually, we have salt wells in Yizhou, but they are all bitter salt wells. The salt produced is bitter and astringent, and it is also poisonous. If you eat too much of this salt, both humans and animals will be poisoned.
"If you take it for a long time, your life will be in danger, so it is not a long-term solution."
Hearing Lin Jue's words, Li Min couldn't help but look thoughtful on his face.
After a while, Li Min looked at Lin Jie with a half-smile and asked: "Prince Lin, is there no solution at all? I, the people of Yizhou, will no longer be able to eat salt from now on?"
Li Min's gaze made Lin Jie feel uncomfortable all over.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Jiancai said: "Grand Governor, there are not many ways. But if we want to solve this problem, the Zhao family must come forward. The Zhao family often does business with Lingnan Road, and their family also has its own guard force."
"If the Zhao family is willing to come forward, then this problem is not a big problem. However, your Excellency has just captured County Magistrate Zhao and ransacked Magistrate Zhao's home. Now the Zhao family is in panic and has not arrived at all.
The thoughts of salt sellers on Lingnan Road."
Hearing Lin Jue's words, Li Min couldn't help but said angrily: "Isn't this Yan Yan a conspiracy created by the Zhao family? Zhao family, are you threatening this governor?"
Seeing Li Min's anger, Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Zhao family naturally does not dare to threaten the governor. But this matter will not be easy to solve without the Zhao family. Once Yizhou is cut off from salt,
, people must be in panic, and the governor must beware that it will arouse public anger!"
Hearing Lin Jie's words, Li Min couldn't help but show a worried look on his face, but he still said forcefully: "This governor is aware of this matter. Well, I will allow this governor to think about this matter carefully."
Lin Jie said respectfully: "Then I will not disturb the Governor anymore. I will retire."
After Lin Jie left, Li Min couldn't help but reveal a sneer on his face.
The Zhao family and Governor Lin are really arrogant, domineering and lawless!
According to their wishes, as long as they do not release Magistrate Zhao, they will cut off Yizhou's salt supply indefinitely.
Moreover, Li Min vaguely felt that it was not just the Zhao family standing behind this.
It seems that there are still shadows of Qiwang with the fifth surname.
And this incident once again made Li Min realize how crazy the power of the family has reached.
This also reminded Li Min that without the ability to control the overall situation, some things still need to be slowed down a little.
For example, this time he wanted to take advantage of County Magistrate Zhao and prepare to take direct action against the Zhao family, but it would be too hasty.
Li Min had overestimated the degree of control Lin Jie and the family had over Yizhou as much as possible, but only now did Li Min realize that he might have seriously underestimated them.
Next, Li Min called Shangguan Yi and King Luo Bin and asked them to write a memorial to his father about the Yizhou incident.
In fact, writing letters and memorials was the responsibility of King Luo Bin.
Li Min called Shangguan Yi here mainly because he wanted to hear Shangguan Yi's opinion.
After King Luo Bin learned the details of the entire incident, he said to Li Min with concern: "Your Highness, do you want to blur some of the details of these things?"
"For example, His Highness ransacked Zhao Youcai's home without trying him. Also, the execution of Zhao Youcai did not seem to be in compliance with the law."
King Luo Bin was really worried about Li Min, because these two things were very taboo.
If there is a censor who adds fuel to the conflict, the emperor may severely punish the king of Shu, and may even transfer him directly away from Shu.
However, after King Luo Bin asked, he saw a knowing smile on the faces of Li Min and Shangguan Yi.
Li Min looked at Shangguan Yi, and then said: "Shangguan Changshi, please explain to Luo Shenjun!"
Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "Luo joins the army, and this matter cannot be concealed. Even if you can hide it in the memorial, there will still be someone else who will pass the news to the emperor, for example, Quan Sima.
"
"Secondly, if other governors, or even other princes, did this, it would be extremely taboo. However, if our highness does it, there will be no problem at all. The emperor might do it.
The order is issued, but there will definitely be no substantive punishment!"
Some words are actually not easy to explain, and Shangguan Yi did not explain them thoroughly.
King Luo Bin's face showed confusion at first, but he soon became thoughtful.
King Luo Bin is extremely smart, but due to age and experience limitations, he does not think so thoroughly about many matters in the court.
But Shangguan Yi had already vaguely understood that King Luo Bin would naturally not be like him.
After thinking about it, King Luo Bin couldn't help but said with admiration: "Thank you, Shangguan Changshi, for your guidance. I have learned a lesson from you!"
At this time, King Luo Bin admired the King of Shu even more.
If I say that I could not think of this because I am young and have little experience.
What about the King of Shu?
How could someone think so thoroughly when they are younger than me?
This is a memorial.
At the same time, there was also a private letter written to the emperor.
In this letter, Li Min will explain the situation in Yizhou, including the current situation of salt shortage, to his father one by one.
I believe that my father will make a decision after reading his letter.
…
That night, Quan Wanji came.
Li Min entertained him warmly, and Quan Wanji couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, I need to report to the Emperor the situation here. Your Highness, how do you think I should report to the Emperor?"
Hearing Quan Wanji's words, Li Min couldn't help laughing.
This power of ten thousand years was given to him by his father, who was equivalent to his eyes and ears.
According to Quan Wanji's nature, he would naturally report the matter truthfully and would not ask Li Min for his opinion at all.
