In the eighth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng had been implementing the whip method for eight years. Acres of land were cleared, taxes were exchanged for silver, and salt and iron were sufficient - every inch of land and every penny of tax revenue in the Ming Dynasty was put on the scale again. Huaiyang Road Salt Transport Envoy Sui Huaqian chose to do nothing. He allowed the underground river of private salt to flow under his feet for twelve years, trading "adequacy" for "peace" and maintaining the fragile balance of the three hundred-mile waterway with "inaction." But he knew that some thorns had already pierced the lifeblood of Ming Dynasty and the Huaiyang Road. Originally, the twelve zodiac signs were very good knives, especially the dragon, he thought, until Mr. An Wuyue, the accountant of the Sihai No. 1, Started flipping through the ledger. Every time he settled an account, the blood of the underground river had to be replaced. Until the last drop, it was all replaced by the blood of Japanese pirates. The time has come. As a result, the twelve zodiac signs came out in full force. For the Qi family army, for the Ming Dynasty. And for all sentient beings.
