Chapter 483: Saying to see you

Yang Jie was holding a newspaper in his hand.

In the diary, there are articles that denounce the shamelessness of the salt merchants, and many of them are articles that reveal the old background of the Donglin Party. This can be seen as a manifestation of the separation between the officials and the salt merchants. Then there are some praise articles. A certain vassal king offered a salt mansion, and the nobleman offered a salt mansion, etc. In short, all the fingers are directed at the salt mansion and salt class.

Yang Jing saw a piece of news and smiled.

A few days ago, several "reports" pointed the finger at Liulizhai, saying that it was one of the evidences of the Shanxi merchants' Tonglu case. The Eastern Barbarian Chief actually used Liulizhai's Qianli Mirror. Some people made a fuss about this matter, saying that Liulizhai was "possible", "unconscious", and "improper management" might have something to do with the Shanxi merchant case. Of course, it was only a little bit related. This was actually the news released by Yang Jing's arrangements. As a result, countless people immediately defended Liulizhai. Yang Jing originally arranged a "gunner". There was no need to find a "gunner" to maintain Liulizhai. A large number of people wrote articles to defend Liulizhai, and even though they could not reach the land, Yang Jing also sighed again that the power of this community of interests was really not a blow.

The result of this incident also came out. Liulizhai "voluntarily" donated 200,000 taels of silver to help the emperor eliminate the Eastern Barbarians to show his innocence. Suddenly, Liulizhai took advantage of the Shanxi merchant case and the Salt Merchant case again, and was at the forefront of public opinion and history. Now, in the mansion report, he boasted about how loyal Liulizhai was so loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and was a role model for businessmen all over the world to learn. Compared with salt merchants, salt merchants should die of shame and call on merchants all over the world to learn from Liulizhai.

A few articles made Yang Jing legitimately earn 200,000 taels of silver. This article is really valuable. After a fat year, Liulizhai began to distribute dividends and published a big news in the newspaper, asking those who hold stocks to go to Liulizhai to collect silver.

Yang Jing smiled at the news, and it was probably a waste of people. To push Liulizhai to the forefront of history so high-profile, Yang Jing's consideration was to vigorously promote the new way of interest cooperation in stocks, laying more foundations for future reforms, and then laying the foundation and preparing for future salt course reforms. Among the businessmen, who is reliable and who is not reliable, is now planting a seed in people's hearts.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to the morning court..." Wang Chengen saw the emperor staring at the dibao alone, and had to remind the emperor that he would go to the morning court.

"Um!..." Yang Jie came to his senses and said, "...Let's go, don't let the ministers wait too long." After saying that, he looked at himself in the dressing mirror and stepped out of the Qianqing Palace.

...

Yang Jie still looked the same, but in the eyes of the ministers, there was a bit more dreadful majesty.

In a complex ritual, today's morning court began.

The chief minister Shi Fenglai first said something happily, but there was a vassal king and noble who handed over the salt and invoked the emperor to give him some praise, etc.

Yang Jing also accepted it with a smile. In addition to the nobles who voluntarily handed over salt classes, there were vassal kings who arranged their own arrangements, and there were also vassal kings who followed the trend and truly voluntarily handed over salt to the invaders.

The ministers have long been used to this kind of scene. In the past few days, the ministers' discussions on the streets and alleys are all related to salt merchants and salt classes. The ministers also know that the emperor's pace of changing salt classes is getting closer and closer, but it just depends on when to take action. Many ministers have also predicted that someone should have raised this morning court.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report." A minister's voice sounded in the hall. When the ministers saw that it was Liu Zongzhou, they were all stunned. This guy was the Donglin Party the night before. The next day, he made the front page headlines to criticize the salt merchant Qike Killing, which gave the Donglin Party a heavy blow. This time, he was a heavyweight figure in the salt merchant and the Donglin Party.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Jingang asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that the salt merchants are enfeoffed, and the gods are angry, and the crime is unforgivable. Now, people are discussing things and are ashamed to have something to do with the salt merchants. The salt merchants use the salt merchants to make profits by using the salt bank to attract the nest. People in the world are even more ashamed to hold the salt bank to attract the nest, and they have paid back the salt bank to attract the nest. Your Majesty, this is a great thing. You can also consider the issue of people in the world eating salt. People in the world pay back the salt bank to attract the nest. Isn't eating salt a problem for the people in the world to eat salt? Therefore, I would like to ask Your Majesty to find a way as soon as possible and prepare as soon as possible to avoid problems with people in the world eating salt in the future..." Liu Zhou

The clan was also cunning. He knew his own affairs. The emperor promised him 20% of the salt courses to run the school. He knew that the salt courses must be proposed by him. Otherwise, the emperor might have to blow up the school money. If he wanted to run the school money and wanted to be famous in history, it would be impossible. Therefore, the emperor asked for the salt courses to change the salt courses in the morning court. Of course, he also had his own considerations. He did not rush to change the salt courses directly, but asked what to do on the grounds that the people of the world eat salt. In fact, it was also considered that the salt courses were changed to the table.

The ministers looked at Liu Zongzhou's words, but they did not expect that he would have come out of the salt course at the step of changing to the salt course. It was indeed a bit unexpected. I thought it would be another imperial party, such as Bi Ziyan, who had always had opinions about the salt merchants, but they did not expect that it was Liu Zongzhou. After looking at Liu Zongzhou, everyone looked up at the emperor.

"Well, right, the Liu Qing family makes sense. Although it is a good thing for everyone to pay back the salt and entries, it shows that everyone is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but as the Qing family said, everyone is ashamed to have the salt and entries. Now the salt and entries have been paid back one after another. Isn't this salt method abolished?...I have to consider the issue of people eating salt! You all, let alone do what to do..." Yang Jingwei was not as good as before. He kicked the ball out. After talking for a long time, he didn't say anything, let alone the substantive issue - changing the salt class. Yang Jingwei would never say it from his own mouth. He said it himself and said it to others, especially the Donglin Party. The effect is very different. Although it is just a few minor points, Yang Jingwei also cared very much.

The ministers looked at each other and the Imperial Party was unmoved at all. This matter should be purely a battle between the Donglin Party and the Donglin Party, and there was no need for their Imperial Party to get involved.

The scene was a little cold, and the officials immediately stood up and shouted: "Report to Your Majesty, I think that since the salt law is no longer reliable, it has become a burden to drag the court. The salt induction manuscript has become a tool for salt merchants to make profits, almost causing a disaster. I think that it has reached a point where it is necessary to change, and I think that it should be changed..."

The ministers were reasonable and unexpectedly looked at the person who shouted to change the salt class. He Ruo, the "former" of the Minister of Rites, was actually the favorite of the Donglin Party. Many ministers speculated in their hearts that the emperor wanted to let the Donglin Party fight against the Donglin Party!

Yang Jie was very satisfied after seeing it, and smiled and said, "I don't know how to change it if your family thinks?"

"When you come back to your Majesty, I think that the salt law is not enough to be maintained, and it has become a burden. As for how to change it, it is not my director..." He Ruchong said that the salt course was almost completed, and he was unwilling to say more.

Yang Jing smiled and said, "You have anything to say?" Yang Jing asked the ministers routinely.

The ministers looked at me, and I looked at you, and shook their heads. No one dared to defend the current Gangsalt Law. Now it has reached the point where people in the world have returned to the salt and indulge their nests. They are still defending the Gangsalt Law. No one is as stupid as that.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say..." An official came out and said.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Yang Jingang asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that the current salt law is bad. The salt law is not paid in time and quantity, which leads to serious arrears of salt classes, which drags down the court and becomes a burden. I think that the first priority of changing salt classes is to make the new salt law pay enough salt classes, and not to be owed..." No one came out to defend the salt law again, so naturally, it was to start discussing the new salt law.

This suggestion, or the requirement for the new salt law, has been approved by many people. Putting aside the mixed personal interests in the salt law, this suggestion is still very pertinent just to matter.

Some people took the lead and the ministers became active. The salt law has become history, so we can talk about the new salt law.

"I believe that in addition to paying enough salt classes, I also need to ensure the price of salt. We must strictly prevent salt merchants from raising the price of salt without authorization and swallowing the ointment and blood of the common people. The new salt law should benefit all the people in the world, and it is a good salt law..." Some people also made suggestions.

This suggestion was also approved by many people, and the scene immediately became lively. Putting aside the personal interests of the salt method, everyone actually knows which one is better or worse. Since the salt method has become the emperor's forbidden body, it is no longer possible to point fingers at the salt method. This is the first time that more people have sincerely made suggestions for major events in the court.

The lively discussion scene abandoned the discussion of self-interest, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. For the first time, many ministers felt that they could not dig into their own efforts to make profits and discuss major affairs of the court without exploring their minds. Their minds could be so flexible and the atmosphere could be so harmonious. It was completely a "gentleman's dispute". Looking at the problem, they could be so profound.

Yang Jie looked at it for a while before he suppressed his hand. The court officials immediately calmed down and waited for the emperor to speak.

"After listening to your discussions and opinions, you have all the suggestions on the new salt law. Good, can the Ministry of Revenue be there?" Yang Jingai said with a smile. Everything was expected and did not exceed his expectations.

"I'm here." Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, immediately came out and answered. He knew the exact method of changing the salt method best, but now the court is still discussing how to change the salt method, which is really a bit funny. Of course, he is not the only one who understands the most.

"The issue of changing the salt law has a great relationship with the Ministry of Revenue. Changing the salt course is related to the income of the Ming Dynasty's national treasury, and we must pay attention to it. The Ministry of Revenue will formulate a new salt law based on the opinions and suggestions of your family today. We must take into account the suggestions and issues raised by your family today and formulate a new and good salt law for our Ming Dynasty. We must not repeat the mistakes we have today." Yang Jingwei said.

"I received the order!" Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, who had already thoroughly considered the new salt law, agreed to start formulating the new salt law...

Many ministers still sighed after seeing this expected incident. The salt merchants had been circulating in the Ming Dynasty for 200 years and enjoyed the prosperity of 200 years. This time, they were uprooted by the emperor and disappeared!

I dealt with some trivial matters and retreated early in the morning.

...

Yang Jie, who had left the court, had just returned to the Ganqing Palace, and Wang Chengen reported: "Your Majesty, Qiao Yunsheng, Minister of Justice, asked for a meeting!"

"Oh, let him come in." Yang Jie said. It was expected that Qiao Yunsheng would resign. Originally, those who resigned would not resign to the emperor, but Yang Jie specifically asked that Qiao Yunsheng come to see him when he resigned and returned home.

"I'm asking Your Majesty!" Qiao Yunsheng was much more peaceful, no longer as aggressive as before, and he saluted the emperor calmly. However, he was still wearing the court uniform of the Shangshu. This was the last time he wore this court uniform. After today, he was going home. The tacit understanding he reached with the emperor. The emperor reserved some bottom line for them, and they also needed to "consciously".

"No gift!" Yang Jie said, then pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down."

Qiao Yunsheng looked at the emperor, then looked at the chair, and after thanking him, he sat quietly on the chair.

"What do you think about the salt law?" Yang Jingwei asked this first.

"To your Majesty, to be fair, what you mentioned in the court today is quite pertinent. If your Majesty wants to change the salt law, just need to combine the suggestions of your colleagues, there will always be a suitable new salt law..." Qiao Yunsheng replied calmly. Today, the atmosphere of discussing the new salt law in the court today, and this is the first time that Qiao Yunsheng has been an official in such many years. This is the scene of abandoning selfish interests, focusing on state affairs, making suggestions, and finding solutions, which is quite harmonious and makes people feel happy. This is the first time he has encountered it, but it is also the last time. After today, he is no longer an official.

"...I think your Majesty must have considered the salt law for a long time." Qiao Yunsheng asked calmly.

"Haha, it's not bad. There is no better salt method. I dare not say to change the salt method, let alone start a salt merchant..." Yang Jingwei stared at Qiao Yunsheng and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is so skillful, I admire you... I don't know... I can feast my eyes in advance?" Qiao Yunsheng hesitated for a long time, but still wanted to see what the emperor's new salt method was like. The salt method was no longer reversible. Qiao Yunsheng wanted to see what the emperor's new salt method was like, which was also fulfilling his wish. After today, the court had nothing to do with him, and he also wanted to know what kind of comprehensive preparation the emperor had made to make them lose so miserably.

Yang Jing smiled and said, "It's not impossible. Anyway, this salt method will be released in a few days. You want to take a look first, but it's not impossible."

Qiao Yunsheng had to sigh that the emperor was so generous, just because of this, the emperor was more generous than them. They had party struggles, and they would kill their opponents, and would never be as easy to talk to as the emperor. Of course, if it weren't for the emperor's reputation and easy to talk to, but the kind of master who was always angry and shouted to fight and kill, besides fighting to the death, he would never compromise with the emperor, and would definitely fight to the death.

Yang Jingwei was quietly waiting for Qiao Yunsheng to see the ticket salt law.

As soon as Qiao Yunsheng got the new salt method, he couldn't wait to look at it. After looking at it for a while, he respectfully returned the new salt method.

"Your Majesty is indeed a great talent. This method is quite beautiful. According to this salt method, there should be tens of millions of salt classes every year. In this comparison, the salt merchants are indeed too greedy. They eat the country's official offerings and suck the ointment and blood. It is appropriate to say that they dragged the court's back and secretly matched the Donglu, and did not wrong them. I was ashamed and defended the salt merchants before. Now after seeing Your Majesty's new salt method, I feel ashamed..." Qiao Yunsheng said in shame that the salt method has become a thing of the past, and the salt merchants have already lost it. They have eliminated the mixed interests. Looking back at the past, I feel a lot of emotion. Just discussing the matter, this method of scavenging the salt is still quite good.

"...I don't know who did this salt method? It's so perfect?" Abandoning personal interests is just this salt method. Qiao Yunsheng also admires this new salt method quite well and wants to know whose method it was.

"Haha, let's not talk about it for now. I want to ask, what does your family think of the former Song?" Yang Jing did not give a positive answer, but instead asked Qiao Yunsheng what he said.

"Former Song Dynasty? What does Your Majesty mean?" Qiao Yunsheng wondered what the emperor meant.

"Haha, didn't the Qing family ask about salt law just now? The Qing family should be a person who has a lot of history books. You should know how much salt classes there were in the previous year of the Song Dynasty and how much income it had in the previous year of the Song Dynasty?" Yang Jing asked with a smile.

"This..." Qiao Yunsheng immediately became embarrassed. Although he had no specific number of salt classes in the previous Song Dynasty, he also knew that he would never be like the Ming Dynasty, which was less than one million taels a year. When the emperor asked this, he immediately blushed and was ashamed to speak. If the matter was revealed, it would be meaningless to argue with the salt classes. Comparing facts with facts can explain the problem.

"Actually, the answer has existed in ancient times. In the past, the Song Dynasty could earn 40 to 50 million yuan a year, and even if the land tax was included, it was only 30 million yuan a year, but the Ministry of Revenue only had only 30 million taels of silver. It was a far cry from the time of the expedition to defend against foreign thieves and comfort the people. If we counted it, the Song Dynasty could reach up to 100 million yuan. But in our dynasty, in this dangerous situation, I still had to worry about just 5 million taels of silver and had to make up my mind to run a salt merchant. My Taizu said that it was rich for the people, but some people were rich, enjoying the prosperity and well-being brought by the Ming Dynasty, but it was useless to the court and the country..., alas..." Yang Jing said with emotion.

After abandoning the mixed interests and thinking about this issue in a real way, Qiao Yunsheng's face was flushed and ashamed of shame. The emperor said the truth, and he could not argue...

"I am ashamed of my own benefit, and I am really ashamed of being a minister..." Qiao Yunsheng said on his knees.

"Oh, get up, the salt merchant's affairs have passed. I said this matter is not to mention the old things again, nor to humiliate your family. I just envy the former Song Dynasty. You and the scholars rule the world together. Even if they perish, there will be 100,000 scholars who will be buried with me. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, I am indeed ashamed... In fact, I am not willing to commit more murders!" Yang Jing said with emotion.

Qiao Yunsheng did not believe what the emperor said about the former Song Dynasty, saying that the king and the scholars and officials ruled the world together. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, he never took the scholars and officials seriously. The slaughtered scholars could circle the city of Beijing several times. Is this root so easy to unravel?

"I thank you for showing mercy to your master! You will never stop Your Majesty from being a salt merchant again, and you will never stop Your Majesty from changing the salt law. I just hope that Your Majesty will have more mercy..." After Qiao Yunsheng said that, he kowtowed a few more times, which was considered farewell.

He gave up fighting with the emperor because he was not bad. He was not the kind of person who kicked to the end, nor the kind of master who shouted and killed all day long. As for what the emperor said about the literati and doctors, he pretended not to hear it. His understanding. The emperor told him that since they did not fight to the death, the emperor would stay at the forefront and would not bring them to a very miserable level. What he could do now was to count on the emperor's character. Of course, he did not expect the emperor to do nothing. Everyone was safe and safe, which was not realistic.
Chapter completed!
