After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Leisurely time always passes so quickly. Even if Han Ming wants to take paid wedding leave, he has to pack up and prepare to go back to work.

But after enjoying the decadent days of soft jade and warm fragrance, Han Ming didn't want to work at all.

But let alone Han Ming's grandfather and others, even Yu Yanran, who is in the newlywed period, has to supervise Han Ming well.

Leaning in the man's warm embrace, Yu Yanran seemed to realize that it was getting late, and hurriedly pushed Han Ming.

"Sir... Sir... Aren't you going to court today?"

The girl was also very sleepy. After all, she had to stay up late every night and her body couldn't take it anymore.

"Hmm~!" Han Ming hugged Yu Yanran even tighter, acted coquettishly, buried his head in the girl's hair, and his hands began to get naughty again.

"Hmm~! Stop it, it's really late. If we're late, Grandfather and Father will blame us."

When Yu Yanran was touched by Han Ming's big hand, she felt a little weak and couldn't help but stop him quickly.

"I really don't want to go to court~! I really want to hug my wife every day..." Han Ming muttered to himself.

"Puchi~! I get it. Be good and listen to me. Stop making trouble. Learn to balance work and rest and take care of your health." Yu Yanran hugged Han Ming's head and gently kissed the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, my wife is the one who knows how to care for people!" Han Ming opened his eyes and looked at Yu Yanran with a silly smile.

Then I couldn't help it and put my hands on the other person's body and stroked it. It was so tender and smooth.

"Oh~! You! Stop it, I'll be angry if you continue!" Yu Yanran deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be angry.

But the pouting little mouth made Han Ming's heart warm. He suddenly held the girl's cheek and kissed her deeply.

The two of them would get up and linger for about a quarter of an hour. Finally, after Han Ming sniffed the fragrance of his palm, Yu Yanran pushed him out of the bed with a blushing face.

After calling Jin Rui and Ju Cao to help him change his clothes, Han Ming poked his head out from the side and said, "Madam, what would you like to eat today?"

Yu Yanran thought for a while with some embarrassment: "I don't know~!"

"Then let's go for an on-site investigation!" Han Ming smiled, picked up his official hat, and slipped out of the room.

Looking at Han Ming's happy back, Yu Yanran felt a surge of happiness and sweetness in her heart.

"My lady is so lucky! Your husband is thinking of you all the time." Ju Cao said with a smile while combing Yu Yanran's hair.

"Then I will find someone who treats you well someday, okay?" Yu Yanran looked at Ju Cao with a smile.

"Hey~! No! I want to stay by my side and serve my lady for the rest of my life!" Ju Cao was just a child who hadn't grown up yet, and he was acting coquettishly.

"Haha, then let my wife sell you out!" Jin Rui brought water for washing and pretended to scare Ju Cao.

"Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮Madam, look at Sister Jinrui, she's making fun of me again~!" Ju Cao pouted.

The three of them started playing and laughing.

Han Ming was sitting in a carriage, following the Han family's convoy into the palace.

As the saying goes, things change suddenly. Sometimes things are like this. When you are not paying attention, they suddenly jump in front of you and scare you.

This is the situation for the entire Song Dynasty's rulers and ministers at the moment.

Because officials from Jiangnan West Road submitted a memorial - "Jiangxi Incident"!

Lingnan, which had experienced the "Nong Zhigao Rebellion", was already somewhat dilapidated. The Song Dynasty court had been constantly adjusting policies and other aspects in order to restore the local economy.

However, recently a small group of remnants of the army that had not yet been pacified broke away from the Lingnan area and fled to the Jiangnan West Road.

The most terrible thing is that the imperial court is currently implementing salt law reform in the western part of Jiangnan.

What is the relationship between the two? This relationship is very important.

Initially, the salt monopoly in Jiangxi and Hunan was completely monopolized by the government. The Song government organized manpower and material resources to transport salt produced in the Huainan area to these two regions for sale.

However, the official salt was of poor quality and expensive; therefore, people in Jiangxi and other places would rather buy salt illegally smuggled from private individuals.

Most people in the coastal areas of Guangdong make a living by boiling salt and making huge profits. Therefore, salt dealers from Jiangxi and other places often smuggle Guangdong salt to Jiangxi for sale, and the smuggling activities of salt dealers are becoming more and more rampant.

Most of these illegal salt dealers are scoundrels, and the government has hunted them down many times. Therefore, in recent years, they have often taken risks and adopted various means to resist.

Later, the Song court realized that it was better to open up than to block, so it began to reform the salt law in Jiangxi, hoping to change the situation of the salt industry in Jiangxi.

Finally, there was some success, but because of the new salt law reform, all the private salt dealers were offended and they began to cause trouble repeatedly.

The "Jiangxi Incident" was a rebellion launched by the remnants of "Nong Zhigao" and private salt dealers in Jiangxi to attack the "New Salt Law".

"Tell me! Now that nearly several states in Jiangnan West Road have fallen into the hands of the rebels, what should we do?"

The old emperor looked at his ministers below the stage with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the top priority is to suppress the rebellion and prevent the spread of the chaos in Jiangnan West Road."

As the prime minister of the current dynasty and the head of all ministers, Han Zhang should be the first to propose a response.

"Well, what the Prime Minister said makes sense. If you have any other ideas, please feel free to speak up." The old emperor remained calm and seemed not to care about the problems in Jiangxi.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Jiangxi Rebellion was fundamentally caused by the 'Salt Law Reform'. Suppressing the rebellion is the first step, and resolving the local salt industry problem is the top priority."

Fu Yanguo, who was also the Tongpingzhangshi of the Zhongshumenxia, ​​the Grand Secretary of the Jixian Hall, the Minister of Rites, and the Grand Secretary of the Zhaowenguan, held a jade tablet in his hand and put forward his own ideas.

After hearing what Mr. Fu said, everyone nodded.

"Well, is there anything else?" Emperor Renzong moved his body, leaned slightly sideways on the dragon throne, and looked at his ministers with narrowed eyes.

"Your Majesty, the salt industry is fundamental to our dynasty. We must send troops to suppress the rebellion immediately!"

"Your Majesty, the reform of the Jiangxi salt law is imperative and cannot be ruined by a temporary turmoil."

"I believe we should send a capable person to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion and promote salt law reform!"

"..."

Listening to these pure nonsense thoughts, Emperor Renzong coughed lightly and looked at Han Ming who was dozing off at the end of the court.

"Zhongshu Sheren, what do you think?"

Hearing the old emperor personally name Han Ming, everyone couldn't help but envy him secretly in their hearts. This is favor!

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Jiangxi salt law reform should not continue. It should be stopped immediately, and the Lianzhou governor Zeng Fengxian should be severely punished."

As soon as Han Ming finished speaking, the entire court was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Ouyang Wenzhong, who was in charge of the Imperial Examinations of the Ministry of Rites, also served as a Hanlin academician and the acting governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, changed his expression.

Han Zhang and Fu Yanguo frowned and looked at each other secretly. Han Zhang was the first to shake his head slightly, indicating that he did not know anything.

"How can you be afraid when you meet the enemy?!" Chen Zheng, the doctor of the Censorate, immediately retorted.

However, Liu Degui, the Chief Censor of the Censorate, was a step slower. He looked at the complacent Chen Zheng and became extremely angry.

"Your Majesty, the reform of the salt law in Jiangxi has been our dynasty's policy for many years and cannot be changed. Han Sheren's words are contrary to our dynasty's program!"

Liu Degui was not stupid either. When it came to putting accusations on people, his Censorate was much better than the Court of Remonstration.

"Your Majesty, what Liu Zhongcheng said makes sense. Han Sheren is in a central position, so his actions are inevitably superficial. He should be sent to the local area to learn more."

"I agree. Your Majesty should focus on training Han Sheren..."

My goodness, all the court officials watching the show were a little confused. Why did this plot feel a little wrong?

Your Majesty only raised a question, and you, the Censorate, are making accusations, right?!

Even Chen Zheng couldn't stand these idiots in the Censorate. You can refute them, but don't try to kill them right away!

Han Ming raised his eyebrows twice and looked at the old emperor sitting above, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty! I have something else to say!"

Han Ming knew that he couldn't say how to play Zi Chou and Mao at this time, and he was afraid that it would not be easy to pass.

Seeing that Han Ming seemed to have something else to say, and that it didn't seem to be aimless, even Ouyang Wenzhong, who had recommended Zeng Fengxian to be the magistrate of Lianzhou, adjusted his expression and prepared to listen carefully.

"Tell me!" The old emperor said calmly, with a hint of interest in his expression.

"The Jiangxi rebellion was mainly composed of three factions: one was the small remnant of Nong Zhigao's former army, the other was the illegal salt dealers in Jiangxi, and finally, some smugglers from Guangnan Road."

"Although the three are united in one place and are jointly involved in the rebellion, their natures are different, so different methods can be used to dismantle these bandits."

"Oh? Is there any method?" Ouyang Wenzhong was open-minded and took the initiative to act as a supporting role.

Han Ming smiled slightly, bowed politely to the other party, and then continued to express his thoughts.

"Although private salt dealers often cause trouble, they are still considered citizens of the Song Dynasty and they fear the imperial court in their hearts."

"These people are taking risks for money. They are simply dissatisfied with the salt law reform that has cut off their path. So we should suspend the reform and give them the false impression that the court is afraid of them."

"For this reason, these people will think that the imperial court has surrendered, and then a notice will be issued from Jiangnan West Road, saying that anyone who has withdrawn from the rebel army will be forgiven. This will disintegrate one side!"

Han Ming was so excited when he spoke that he paced around the court with an aura that made him look like a man of great influence.

"Second, severely punish the Lianzhou governor Zeng Fengxian..."

When Ouyang Wenzhong heard Han Ming talking about the person he recommended, his expression became serious, and he wanted to hear what the other party had to say.

"Actually, there are two reasons. The first is that Zeng Fengxian allowed merchants in Lianzhou to sell salt produced in Guangnan Road in Qian and Tingzhou. Wherever the salt merchants went, the government set up checkpoints to collect commercial taxes."

"While this curbed smuggling to a certain extent, it also gave the remaining smugglers an opportunity to join forces with the remnants of Nong Zhigao's army and infiltrate Jiangxi from Guangdong and Guangxi. This was a complete misstep!"

Han Ming's words made Ouyang Wenzhong open his mouth, not knowing what to say, and sighed heavily.

"The second reason is to dismantle the rebels within Jiangxi. The person the Guangnan Road smugglers are angry about is none other than Zeng Fengxian. Severely punishing him can undermine their fighting spirit and easily defeat them..."
