"Da Si Nong, brother, I went to your house to look for you, but they said that you haven't come back yet, so I can only come to the ministry to find you, I came to you, and I won't do anything else, but I have a few friends, and I am now waiting for your household department to send salt down to transfer the salt to the Yamen to carry salt, can you give my brother a face, and send the salt to them immediately, anyway, the opening of the law has not been officially promulgated yet, and it will be indispensable to invite you to a drink afterwards!"
As soon as Xu Xi, the Duke of Dingguo, came to the household department, he called him a brother and a brother and spoke to Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, and what he said was directly related to salt introduction."
Dingguo Gong!
You're late, but unfortunately, the salt has been sent to the border town, and now there is no salt in the household!
Please come back. ”Bi Ziyan directly rejected Xu Xi, and put the tea on the table, expressing the intention of sending off guests.Xu Xi was stunned for a second, then stood up in disappointment, and shouted with some annoyance: "You!
”Bi Ziyan ignored him, only picked up the teacup, lowered his head and continued to drink tea.Xu Xi wanted to say a few cruel words, but he was worried that his cruel words would reach the emperor's ears, so in the end he could only hold back his unhappiness and leave here.Next, not only Dingguo Gong Xu Xi ate the closed-door soup, but other salt merchants with backgrounds all ate closed-door soup in Bi Ziyan and did not get the salt quotation."
The three thousand Hedong salt quotations are directly allocated to Qin Liangyu, the prime minister of Jiliao, and the five thousand Huaiyang salt quotations are allocated to Yuan Jingluo, Liaodong, so that they can remember that the time will be palindrome to confirm, in addition, these salt quotations that are allocated to the border towns are all publicized, and the inscription is given to the imperial court, and the imperial court is invited to publicize it through the "Di Bao" and "Huang Ming Bao", and then, tell all the salt merchants who need salt introduction, let them go to the "Di Bao" or "Huang Ming Bao" to see how much salt is introduced in each border town, whether it is sufficient, and then determine where to go to Shangtun, Don't ask Gonghou Guiqing to come to the household department to ask for salt!
”Bi Ziyan gave such orders to his household officials at this time.And the salt merchants were completely desperate because of this."
It seems that the imperial court is really going to move seriously!
You want to force us salt merchants to transport grain to the border town, or force us to go to the border town of Shangtun!
”"Yes!
Transporting grain to the border town, who can afford the freight, transporting one stone of grain to the border town will have to send an additional three or five stone grain, and the imperial court in order to save its own grain loss, it is really excessive!
He brutalized us salt merchants!
”"It stands to reason that the household department can reject such a tiring will of the people and businessmen, even if it is not clear about the rejection, it can also secretly do things contrary to the will of the imperial court in other ways, such as quietly sending salt to us, but now this household is not entering the oil and salt, especially today's household department is still strict with himself, and the salt is detained in advance, and it is also given to the border town officials in advance!""
Alas!
Our salt merchants have come to an end since the Hongzhi Dynasty, so let's move our home in Yangzhou back to Shanxi and go to the border town of Tuntian!
Anyway, don't do this salt business?
What to eat!
”As a result, a dry salt merchant has privately complained about the current salt policy reform.Historically, Ye Qi, the head of the Hongzhi Dynasty, reformed the Chinese law, so that the salt merchants did not have to transport grain to the border towns for salt introduction, but only needed to take the silver to the household department for salt introduction, and the salt merchants no longer had to carry out business in the border towns, and therefore began to move a large number of inward, from Shanxi, Liaodong, Shaanxi and other border towns to Yangzhou and Huai'an, resulting in a large reduction of the Han people in the border towns, so that the Hetao was lost.But now, because of the support of the household department, the system of the emperor to restore the opening of the Chinese law has begun to be implemented.As a result, these salt merchants began to have to move north.In fact, at this time, a large number of abandoned fields had begun to be reclaimed by some salt merchants who took the initiative to accept the results of the reform.There are even salt merchants who have bought some abandoned farmland near the Great Wall from some Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall, such as some fields in Hetao, which were originally grain-producing areas, and some salt merchants spent money to buy them and began to reclaim them.After all, these cultivated fields are of little value to the Mongolian nomads, so the price is relatively low.Therefore, when the imperial court did not confiscate the Hetao, the people had begun to enter the Hetao area that was lost in the Hongzhi Dynasty.......
"The Ministry of Household Petition for the establishment of a government-run salt industry bureau immediately approved the red permission, the salt industry does need the intervention of government-run salt merchants, otherwise it is really easy to lead to an increase in the price of salt, in addition, the decree to the provinces to patrol the imperial history and the imperial history of the salt inspection, must strictly check the quality of official salt, once found to be dereliction of duty by the East Factory, it will not be spared!
The household department requested that the situation of the distribution of border towns by salt introduction be publicized, and the publicity was also approved in the "Di Bao" and "Huangming Bao", which is a good method, which is not only convenient for the dispatch of military rations in the border towns, but also to curb the corruption of the household department. ”The Hall of Politics.On the way to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao confirmed his determination to restore the system of opening the Chinese law before the Hongzhi Dynasty, and issued an edict, but he did not expect that the household department would start to implement it so quickly, and he also put forward a good implementation proposal.This made him a great relief as an emperor, and he found that his ministers were now willing to carry out his reforms, especially after he said that he would not back down, so that the system of opening up the law could be implemented so quickly.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood, so he directly added an honorary title to Bi Ziyan."
Yes!"
Fang Congzhe replied because of this, and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty!
Now that Kaizhongfa has restored to the previous system of filial piety, the imperial court will save a lot of military supplies in the future, but now the treasury is already very full, so the minister asks, how to arrange these saved military supplies?
”"After the restoration of the previous Kaizhong law, the border town merchants will increase, and the number of businessmen in the border town will also increase, and some people need to have a road, in order to make the border town military and border trade activities more convenient, so the saved military supplies are still used in the border town, for the construction of official roads, first of all, from Beijing to Shanhaiguan and Xuanfu, Datong official road, to build a new official road with four carriages side by side!"
After Zhu Youxiao spoke, he said: "Give an order to the household department, and discuss with the household department how much military money and food can be saved for the construction of official roads!"
In addition, it was immediately recommended that corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, which were newly cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, be promoted to the salt merchants in the border towns, which were conducive to cultivation in the north. ”"Yes!"
Fang Congzhe replied.Zhu Youxiao nodded because of this, he asked the household department to use the surplus military money and grain to build an official road to the border town, in fact, there is another reason, that is, he still plans to wait for the future conditions to be ripe to let all the official or private transactions of the Ming Empire be settled in currency, so that it is more convenient to regulate the imperial economy, and in this way, in the future, the imperial court will still need to transport grain to the border town, and if there is already convenient transportation, it will naturally save a lot of grain loss.…… While Zhu Youxiao and his ministers continued to reform the Ming Dynasty, the factory guards were also strictly interrogating the murderers of the emperor such as Dege."
AhhAs a whip dipped in salt water landed on Derge and Yueto, who had already been beaten and wounded, the two of them screamed in pain again.And Xu Xianchun, who was in charge of interrogating them, said to a Jinyi guard who could speak Manchu at this time: "Continue to ask, which Han people colluded with them to help them come to Jingshi!"
”"Yes!"
This brocade guard replied, and hurriedly asked about Derge and Yue Tuo.Yue Tuo took a sip first and said, "Dream!"
”Xu Xianchun said directly with a cold face: "Torture again!"
Play the pipa and wait!
”So, the factory guards took the knife and used the tip of the knife to move vigorously on the ribs of Yue Tuo and Dege.The two of them were sweating profusely because of this, and their voices screamed even more violently."
It hurts!""
It hurts!"
The Derg class had to wave its hand as a result.Xu Xianchun made people stop at this time, and asked the brocade guard to continue asking.And this Derge said in Manchu: "I have a condition!
If you want to know who is in cahoots with us, you must first tell me, yes, who told you that we will come to assassinate your emperor!
”Xu Xianchun glanced back at Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng because of this.Tian Ergeng was about to stand up, but Wei Zhongxian smiled first: "It's your four Baylor!"
”As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian looked at Tian Ergeng and asked, "What does it seem to be called Huang Taiji?"
”Tian Ergeng nodded hurriedly: "That's right!"
It's Huang Taiji!
Your four Beile Huang Taiji, this person has long intended to submit to the imperial court!
