Chen Jie listened to this and pointed at the list of officials on the table, saying, "These officials, although mostly born in Huangzhou Prefecture, were previously not valued. Now they've all been directly promoted, and many are from poor families."
"Can't you see?"
After hearing this, Jin Yanzi said, "All of them are Magistrate Chu Tian's people."
Chen Jie then pointed at the list and said, "Look at the positions these people promoted by Chu Tian are responsible for."
Jin Yanzi looked and said, "Salt Search Order, Iron Seeking Order, Tea Seeking Order, Horse Searching Order, Huangzhou Prefecture Warehouse Director..."
"Salt, iron, tea, horses, food!"
Jin Yanzi immediately understood, realizing that Chu Tian had gathered all the strategic resources and necessities of Huangzhou Prefecture—salt, iron, tea, horses, and food. With these combined, Huangzhou Prefecture was basically under his control.
What's he planning to do?
