"Don't forget to make up a story for He Lianer and the others."

"I know." Yang Liudao, "Mum, I'll find someone to write it up now."

Yang Liu originally wanted Pei Shaoqing to make up stories. With Pei Shaoqing's talent, the stories he made up must be more exciting than those made by others, but she knew that Pei Shaoqing had a lot of things and couldn't squeeze out time at all.

...

Pei Shaoqing really doesn’t have time.

Less than half an hour after I sat in Shenxianju, people came to the palace.

"Pei Sicheng, the queen of heaven ordered you to enter the palace immediately." The little eunuch who came to pass the order said.

Pei Shaoqing rewarded the little eunuch with a big money and asked, "Little father-in-law, why did the queen summon me?"

The little eunuch took the rewards happily and whispered: "It's so let Pei Sicheng know that Liu Zhangyuan has returned from Hedong."

Pei Shaoqing felt a little nervous when he heard this. Liu Huizhi returned from Hedong, which means that he had obtained the exact data on Hedong Yanli, and it also means that Wu Zetian will finally showdown with the Prime Minister's Group.

This is a big event and cannot be refused. Pei Shaoqing immediately set out to enter the palace.

...

Time retreated half an hour ago.

Liu Yizhi just returned from Hedong.

He didn't even go home and didn't wash his face, so he came to Penglai Palace to meet him.

Wu Zetian and Tang Xianyou were lewd, but after receiving Gao Lingsong's report, they decisively sent Tang Xianyou to the back hall, and then sorted out their makeup and summoned Liu Yizhi.

"Liu Qing, what are the results of the trip to Hedong?" Wu Zetian Dao.

"The Queen of Heaven." Liu Yizhi said with his hands, "This trip to Hedong, I can only describe it in one word, that is, it is shocking, it is really shocking!"

"Pei family, Xue family, and Wang family are also high-ranking families."

"Almost monopolizes the salt pond and marketing in Hedong."

"While they squeeze salt households, they also sell salt at high prices."

"Hedong salt households are poor and the people are suffering."

"Only the noble families of Pei, Xue, Wang and other families are fighting for gold every day!"

"I dare to assert that if this lasts for a few years, something must be going on in Hedong!"

Hearing this, Wu Zetian's face suddenly calmed down, and the situation turned out to be so broken?!

This is true for Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Henan Road, Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road. It seems that the salt method is really at the point where it cannot be reformed.

But these are not the point.

The focus is on the benefits occupied by the noble families.

At this moment, Wu Zetian said again: "Does Liu Qing have to find out the share of the high-ranking families in Hedong's aristocratic families occupy in the salt profit?"

"Oh, yes, I have already found out." Liu Yi's way, "The salt and liberty in Hedong are mainly concentrated among the three surnames of Xue, Pei and Wang, in addition to that..."

Wu Zetian frowned slightly and said, "Speak quickly!"

"Here!" Liu Yizhi responded and said again, "In addition, Wu's surname also took over."

"Hmph!" Wu Zetian groaned, "In this way, they regarded the words of the Lone as the wind in their ears."

Liu Yizhi said again: "The Xue family occupies the most, but the Xue family is not a single piece. It is divided into the East and West ancestors, and the Zusan also divides the houses, among which the third house of the West ancestors occupy the largest share."

"And the third house of Xizu has the largest share of Xue Ge Lao's branch."

Wu Zetian said: "Liu Qing, what do you mean is to only target Mr. Xue?"

"Yes." Liu Yizhi said, "If we only target Mr. Xue, it will not only disintegrate the Prime Minister's alliance, but also allow the Xue family to siege Mr. Xue to besiege Mr. Xue."

"Old Master Xue betrayed everyone."

"In this way, salt law reform will be much easier."

Wu Zetian frowned and said, "But if it were only targeting Master Xue, wouldn't Hedong Yanli still be in the hands of the noble families such as the Pei, Xue and Wang?"

"What does this matter?" Liu Yizhi said, "As long as Pei, Xue, Wang and other noble families support the opening of China and France, and are willing to transport grain to Guanzhong or even the northern border in exchange for salt intake, what's wrong with letting them pick salt and sell salt? What the court lost is nominal ownership of the salt fields and salt wells."

"What I received was the promotion of China and France."

"From then on, there was no longer any shortage of food in the northern border of Guanzhong."

"It's reasonable." Wu Zetian nodded slightly when he heard this.

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian turned his head and asked Gao Lingsong, "Why haven't Pei Shaoqing arrived yet?"

Gao Lingsong hurriedly said, "Empress Bingtian, the old slave has sent someone to invite him, and it must be coming soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a little eunuch stepped in and reported: "Queen, Pei Sicheng asked for a meeting."

"It's finally here." Wu Zetian snorted and said, "What are you pretending to be garlic today? Usually, you don't just break in without reporting? Let him roll in for the orphans quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Shaoqing had already come in.
