Chapter 195: The Emperor's Ambition


Zhu Xu left, leaving behind a group of ministers who were extremely uncomfortable.

They are accustomed to Zhu Youxiao's way of going to court, as long as they rise up in groups, there will always be a way to force Zhu Youxiao to make concessions and act according to their wishes.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao has always been indecisive and lacks assertiveness, and they have a lot of room for operation, which is completely different from the crisp and neat of the new emperor Zhu Xu.

Although the adults still can't turn around, they have already retreated from the dynasty after all, and they can only get together in twos and threes and slowly squeeze out of the hall.

The adults in the palace are very uncomfortable, and it is not calm outside the palace.

The high-spirited mountain, Lord Wang Jinyun of the East Transfer Division, was hiding in the inn at the moment and didn't dare to go out for a single step, so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't finish wiping it.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang......"

Outside the door, there was a low, anxious knock on the door of Li Changyong, the Haibei Lifting Division.

Wang Jinyun hurriedly opened it, and before he could open his mouth, Li Changyong broke in, quickly closed the door, and said with a look of horror: "Lord Wang, what is the news?"

Now there are brocade guards everywhere outside, going around to arrest our salt class people. ” Wang Jinyun's face changed, his eyes were more frightened, and he said anxiously with a frightened look: "Where can there be news now, Lord Li, you say, what should we do, the imperial court is serious this time, and it is going to do something to our salt class!"

” The thing came too suddenly, Jinyiwei almost all dispatched, no one could resist with the holy decree, Li Changyong frowned, his face changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Wait, we haven't gone down to the court yet, after the next court, let's inquire first, and then operate, and then go out of the city before making plans." ” Wang Jinyun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Okay, that's it, let's go out of the city first." ” The two of them were nowhere to be seen, but the salt merchants who met with them yesterday were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and the whole city was running around, looking for people.

The fat man who was going to teach Zhu Youzhen a lesson yesterday almost cried at this moment, and said: "What can I do, this time I took out all the silver to buy Yanyin, and now the silver is out, I haven't seen Yanyin yet, I'm going to finish!"

” The other salt merchants also turned pale, and they all exchanged words impatiently, and kept talking and discussing.

According to the Ming Dynasty's salt law, salt was sold to merchants, and merchants bought and sold salt by themselves, and paid enough taxes and silver to bear their own profits and losses.

Now they have paid the silver but have not received the salt lead, and the imperial court has to seal up all the salt farms, and everyone in the promotion department and the transfer department is in danger.

People who are a little sensitive know that they will probably not get the salt introduction this time, let alone the silver!

The middle-aged man sitting in the middle, dressed in low-key and gorgeous clothes, seemed to be very calm, he waited for everyone to argue for a while before saying, "Don't worry, the imperial court can't seal the salt field for too long, it doesn't matter if the people don't have salt to eat, but the imperial court still needs to tax silver."

Therefore, we are now waiting to see when the imperial court will release the salt, as long as the imperial court produces salt, we will have a way to get the salt and transport it to the salt!

” His words were reasonable, and everyone calmed down for a while, and they all agreed: "Yes, what Shopkeeper Sun said is right, it is impossible for the court to cover the salt and not come out!"

” "Yes, the imperial court needs this silver even more, it will definitely not affect Xia Yan, it will definitely be soon!"

"It is worthy of being rich in the Soviet Union and Zhou, this calmness alone is amazing, admire!"

"No wonder Shopkeeper Sun's business can be so big, and the salt he bought this time is also the most......"

Sun Yongzheng listened to the compliments around him, his expression was calm, but there was no calmness in his heart.

He had a premonition that it would be impossible for the imperial court to stop easily with such a big move this time, but he was afraid that it would not be as easy for them to get the salt as he said.

The adults who walked out of the Jinluan Hall gathered together in twos and threes, and the whispers kept talking.

Zhu Youzhen, Gu Bingqian and others walked behind, and they walked a few steps to turn to the cabinet room.

Yang Lian was surrounded by a group of people and walked towards the palace gate, his originally solemn face, his frowning brows slowly relaxed, and his resentful face loosened a lot.

"Lord Yang, the emperor's methods are really neat."

An imperial history whispered beside Yang Lian.

Yang Lian couldn't hear what he meant from his words, he looked up and said: "The emperor acts neatly and neatly, and he has the style of a wise monarch, you and I should be gratified." ” As soon as everyone heard it, they knew what Yang Lian meant, and immediately began to express their position.

"What Lord Yang said is that since ancient times, the virtuous ministers have begged the Ming monarch, and it is not easy for the emperor to be so decisive at a young age."

"Indeed, the emperor's handling of today's court discussion is very appropriate, and there is the legacy of Taizu!"

"The emperor has Lord Yang to teach, and it should be so."

"Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty is not far away, Daming Zhongxing is in sight!"

A group of people were like a tide of sycophants, which made Yang Lian himself feel that his chest was swollen, quite high-spirited, and full of ambition!

On the other side, a group of people looked solemn and talked in a worried whisper.

"It's not a good thing that the emperor trusts King Xin so much."

"Yes, now the affairs of the cabinet are said to be paid to King Xin, and Gu Ge Lao sometimes has to concede three points."

"King Shin is extremely diligent, and I have heard that every day he sits in the cabinet until the palace gate is closed, and he enters the palace as soon as the palace door is opened."

"He is a vassal king so diligent, where is the emperor......"

"You don't know yet, I heard rumors from the inner servants that the emperor's affairs today are all taught by the king, and he even drew up a roster of 100 officials before......"

"Be careful, be careful!"

"Yes, yes, out of the palace, out of the palace......"

Despite their low voices, quite a few people heard them.

Among them, there are the officials of Kedao, all of whom have a sinking expression, and there is a violent color between their eyebrows.

At that time, they all thought that Zhu Youxiao was worried that the emperor was young and the lord was suspicious, which would shake their Zhu family, so the adult Xinwang assisted the government to stabilize the country.

But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that there will really be a danger to the country!

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu went down the stairs side by side, looked at each other and smiled, and they were secretly relieved.

Immediately, there was a wry smile, there was no need for them to worry about it at all.

"Master Fu, Lord Zhou stays."

Cao Huachun chased a few steps from behind, came to the front, and said with a smile: "Two adults, the emperor summons you, and Wenzhao Pavilion discusses." ” The two glanced at each other and said without hesitation: "Yes, please lead the way." ” In the Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Xu sat on top of the soft collapse, turning over the mountains of folds, and said to the two people who came in without looking back: "Sit down, let's talk about the salt law today." ” In the late Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty changed to the Gang Salt Method, which simply put, that is, the imperial court was responsible for salt production, the salt merchants were responsible for underwriting, the imperial court collected taxes, and the merchants were responsible for their own profits and losses.

The reasons for changing the salt law are complex, and the fundamental reason is still for the salt tax.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the government of the government reached the extreme, from the lowest end of the salt producers to the top of the capital households, none of them were clean, so in fact it did not have much effect, the salt tax continued to lose, and the price of salt gradually increased. lost the court and suffered the people.
