Big selfishness!
Grand duke?
Facing himself just now, Su Xian said without concealment, the reason why he said the salt introduction was to avenge Hu Weiyong's repeated hatred against them before.This is a personal grudge!
And now, hearing Su Xian say those two reasons, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know why, maybe because of that number, he couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart anymore.Maybe it's really the heavy responsibility on my shoulders as a great tomorrow."
Good one to get the money back."
Finally.Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth slowly, his eyes were complicated, and he suppressed the ups and downs in his heart."
A single salt introduction system has exhausted the power of the country.It not only stimulated the enthusiasm of merchants, but also made up for the labor and loss of ordinary people to transport grain and grass. ”"No matter what, this law can't be changed at the moment."
What Zhu Yuanzhang said is also the truth of Daming.The responsibility of selling salt to the people was given to the merchants, who, of course, would choose the profits.But compared to militaristic events, this profit is insignificant.What Zhu Yuanzhang has always cared about is actually the benefit of private salt.Thinking of this, he continued: "Let's talk about illegal salt, your so-called getting the money back is actually involving illegal salt, right?"
”When Su Xian heard the question, he first looked at the brazier over there.Honestly, it would have been nice if it had been summer, and I wouldn't have used it this way, so it seems like we'll have to wait a little longer.In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao's eyes also followed."
Yes and no."
Su Xian didn't answer and asked, "If Your Majesty does it yourself, how can you control the profits of private salt?"
”To change a person's mind, directly explain what he thinks and discuss, and make a decision.Instead, it first completely defeats its own theoretical system, and then it can follow this gap and gradually let it accept foreign theoretical systems.At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Su Xian's problem, just pondered for a while, and then said bluntly: "Of course, the punishment is strengthened, and those who dare to sell illicit salt will be sentenced to cane punishment or even death according to the catties and taels they sell."
There are other categories on this death penalty, such as "Zhu Yuanzhang said this, it was endless, after all, many of the punishments of the Ming Dynasty were still thought up by him by patting his head, and then carried out by the people of the pro-military Governor's Mansion.It's just that before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Queen Ma, "Grandson is here, what are you talking about?"
”Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying, who had a small face, and there seemed to be a look of horror in his black and white eyes.Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In short, you just know it, above the whipping is the cane, above the cane is exile, above the exile, if it is a particularly serious smuggler of salt, he will be sentenced to beheading." ”"Does it work?"
Su Xian seemed to be genuinely confused.Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded, but still replied: "It's still useful." ”After saying this, he seemed to remember something again and continued: "Of course, as said in the introduction to the salt, we have a lot of resources.There are waterways with convenient transportation, and there are also mountain roads with many mountains and forests. ”"There are some places that you don't just forbid, and the people need to live.Where official salt can't get in, or even where there is not enough profit to go, the people can only find a way out. ”Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be a little emotional, "Over the years, we have also used many methods to relocate the people.But everyone has the emotions of being unable to leave their homeland, and some people would really rather be buried in their hometown than migrate.So in many similar places, you even find your own salt to eat. ”Zhu Yuanzhang's words are actually obvious.Although the government has taken a severe crackdown on illegal salt, in many cases, it has turned a blind eye and is beyond its power.Contradictory and reasonable.Su Xian pondered for a moment before he said: "It seems that Your Majesty also knows that private salt is not forbidden if you want to, just like the previous treasure money, if the people themselves are willing to use silver taels, and even force them to exchange things in private, then with the current ability of the local government, there is actually no way." ”Zhu Yuanzhang nodded."
And the same is true for salt, the people themselves can't afford to eat official salt, even in private, go to the mountains to find mineral salt, and find smuggled salt dealers to buy smuggled salt.One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the people do not sue and the officials are not to blame.The government also doesn't have that much strength to really go deep into the people to investigate illegal salt. ”This is also true."
Therefore, the solution to the problem of illegal salt is actually the same as the method of treasure money."
After Su Xian said this.Zhu Biao seemed to remember, and his eyes lit up immediately."
You mean, let the common people accept official salt as if they were treasure money?""
But the treasure banknote has also made a lot of effort, and it is only after the money village is set up that there is a trace of effect, and in the future, when the new treasure banknote is issued, maybe the effect will be greater."
Zhu Biao sighed and said the truth of the moment, "But there is no such technique in the salt." ”"Who says no?"
Su Xian said, looking at Zhu Xiongying, "Isn't the fine salt I gave to the emperor's eldest grandson that day better than any private salt?"
”"If it is this salt, will the people not want it?""
You kid!"
Queen Ma said helplessly: "It's not that we don't have ten fingers and don't understand the market market."
The salt in this salt field is divided into upper, middle and lower salts. ”"The imperial salt in the palace is the best salt made by the stove households.But even then, it's not as good as the salt you brought. ”Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "What's more, the price of high-grade salt is far more expensive than the so-called one pound of salt and one cent of silver, and the people can't even afford the most ordinary low-grade salt, how to eat high-quality salt?"
”Faced with the doubts of several people, Su Xian just raised a question."
What if there was a way to make inferior salt also become superior salt?"
Well?
As soon as this remark came out.A few people suddenly thought of something, first looked at Zhu Xiongying, and then looked at Su Xian, "The way you said, won't it be?"
”Su Xian affirmed their thoughts, "That's right, that salt is indeed changed by me." ”Swish!
As soon as Su Xian's words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, and even the students of the main hall behind him all looked at it.Zhu Xiongying actually said it before, but they subconsciously ignored it, and they didn't even want to believe it, and more importantly, most of their attention was on the monosodium glutamate.Of course, there is a more important point: "That's even worse." ”Queen Ma shook her head, "Inferior salt becomes high-grade salt, do you know how much firewood it costs?"
How much time and manpower does it take?
”"Your Majesty just said that in the salt works of the Ming Dynasty, the official salt set in a year is ten times the population.It can be said that there is too little that can really be done, and among them are miscellaneous salts that are worse than inferior salt, and there are also merchant salts that are traded to foreign countries." ”looked at the disbelief of several people.Su Xian looked into the distance again, and sure enough, this methodology still had to be practiced.Practice is the only way to know.
And true knowledge is the most advantageous proof!
So Su gossiped and said, "Then let's talk about another method." ”"Your Majesty also said just now, there are many places with many mountains and forests, steep roads, or sparse population, it is not worth salt merchants to enter this place, and it is not worth salt merchants to obtain salt from these places!""
So as a result, there is not enough salt in some places, and there is a lot more salt in some places every year."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "At this point, as mentioned in the salt introduction, the most cited example is the Fuzhou Mansion!"
”"So there's a way now."
Su Xian said: "It is also a change in the current salt introduction system and the history of salt patrol. ”"Change?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely curious."
Boy, can you still hold those merchants by the legs and let them run after you?
Let's tell you, without profit, everything is in vain. ”"In the face of interests, these businessmen who are blinded by money sometimes dare to break into the palace of Hades in the direction of being beheaded!"
Su Xian took over, "Coincidentally, I'm also talking about interests." ”Well?
Facing the increasingly puzzled eyes of several people, this time, Su Xian did not sell it."

In terms of salt introduction, does Your Majesty think there is any possibility of collusion between officials and businessmen and salt trafficking?"
Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously took a breath, his face was a little angry, and Zhu Biao said with a cold face: "Of course, in the past few years, I have dealt with many incidents, and even among them, there are relatives of the emperor who follow the platform behind!"
”"These dogs, in the name of our northern defense, fatten their own pockets, and use the salt of the imperial court as their own financial resources.Hum!
and some huge greed are embarrassed, selling salt, let's catch one and kill one!
”Zhu Yuanzhang said cold-blooded and domineering.And Su Xian spoke softly and was full of demagogy, "So, this is what I just said, not to abolish the salt introduction system, but to reform the system." ”"Nowadays, most of the salt merchants in the government are no longer the merchants who hired people from one place and transported them to Beifang in the original manner.""
These small businessmen, sometimes they are simply big businessmen" The largest group of people is the Jin merchants who take materials from Shanxi nearby.Shanxi salt farms have been producing salt since ancient times. ”Su Xian didn't explain to them that salt is actually recyclable, and there are many places where lake salt, after you scrape a layer, it can be recrystallized in a few years."
When the Jin merchants gradually grew under the salt introduction system, a great interest group would be formed.This group is not only the merchants, but also the common people they employ, the land of the tuntian.Contacts with the major military households of the health center, and some intersections with local officials" As Su Xian said this, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously realized something, and his eyebrows gradually became serious."
Of course, these are unavoidable, Shanxi is close to the people, and the salt merchants only need to provide employment to solve the problem.Even if the court changes to someone else, it will have the same effect in the end. ”"However, can the imperial court borrow this kind of method, only one means is needed," Su Xian said, and then spit out eight words, "Profit and induce, divide and attack!"
”"What do you mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled."
Very simply, from now on, the imperial court will no longer use the previous system in which anyone can transport grain and grass to the defense line to obtain salt.""
It's not up to me, I want to go to a convenient salt factory to transport salt, but I don't go to a remote place on the road.""
Instead, the court demarcates officials and merchants, and all merchants who transport salt must be recorded in the imperial court's register."
Su Xian looked at the way everyone listened, and in order to make it easier to understand, he simply gave an example."
For example, there are many salt merchants out there, but we only choose ten relatively large salt merchants.Let them go and transport grain and grass, and transport a stone of grain and grass in exchange for a lead. ”"Adopt a point system!""
Every year, whoever transports more grain and grass and has more points will continue to retain salt merchants.""
Whoever transports less and has fewer points will be eliminated."
At this moment.After hearing Su Xian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma showed a look of novelty.Integral?
This is the first time they've heard of this!"
You go on, I really haven't heard of this, how is it an integral method?"
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said, and at the same time made his eyes look at him, so that the master who was watching from the side quickly wrote it down.Li Xiyan was a little helpless, but still nodded silently.Su Xian still waited for a while before continuing: "For example, our Nanzhili waterway is unblocked, and the salt field that transports Nanzhili is one point!"
”"And Fuzhou Mansion, Sichuan and Shu and other deep mountains and remote places are set into two points!""
To take the simplest example, for example, Wang San got one point for transporting 10,000 salt from the two Huai salt fields.""
Then on the contrary, if 10,000 taels of salt are transported from Fuzhou Prefecture, then he will be recorded as two points.""
Of course, the same is true for transporting to some remote places.""
As for those who are already sitting on the big seats, such as Jin Shang.Then divide from them, and also use the point system, so that they can also be divided into several, and then compete invisibly. ”The government evaluates this way, once a year, or every three years, and those with more points can participate in the next official and commercial transportation, and those who are excellent can get a larger share of salt introduction.Those with less or no points will reduce the number of salt introductions, or eliminate them and choose other salt merchants!
”This moment.As Zhu Yuanzhang listened more to it, the more stunned he became, how did he come up with this method?"
It can indeed be used in the mountains and forests, so that the salt farms in Fuzhou and other places do not need to be piled up for no reason.Even for more detailed, we can also convert in it, such as some dangerous places in Sichuan and Shu, we even give them two points, or even five points!
”"If we transport this salt, we will have more salt in Daming, and many places can also control the price of salt."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang draw inferences from each other, Su Xian nodded, "That's right!"
”How to distribute the salt for transportation has already been settled.And next, it is to insert a knife in Hu Xiang.Seize power!
It's time to reap the profits of the salt of the world!
And just when Su Xian was about to speak.On their side, Zhu Xiongying, Chang Sen and others listened more and more strangely.Suddenly, Zhu Xiongying couldn't hold back any longer, "Su Xian, how is this mechanism of adding points and subtracting points the same as ours?"
”"You guys?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered.The eldest grandson said: They also have the first class, the left class, and the right class, and they are also in the point system!
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang gasped!
I have known for a long time that this kid has taken one step and seen three steps, and now it seems that he has been waiting here for a long time?
Wait for Zhu Yuanzhang's heart to move, how can this plus or minus points really be used in the official assessment?
