Li Banghua was very dissatisfied with Chongzhen's words. It was the duty of the Inspectorate to impeach officials and was now a sentencing that was occupied by the Jinyiwei. The emperor relied so much on the Jinyiwei and was not a blessing for civil servants.

If officials violate the rules and regulations of the court, the court should have a department to verify and deal with it. The Jinyi's personal army is the emperor's private army. How can they interfere in everything? How will the inspector handle itself in the future?

He retorted: "The emperor puts the army in the brocade clothes first everywhere. Isn't it a vacant suspect to have a government in the court? Is it a long-term solution to use private objects? Is it a long-term solution to think twice?"

Chongzhen waved his hand and smiled, "Li Qing is a little worried! This incident involves the third-rank official of the court. I want Shi Qing, the right censor, to go to Yangzhou in person, and hope that Shi Qing will make a decision impartially and not be favored! Today, I am discussing the matter in Huai'an. I have some thoughts on this matter and I will tell you what you have to do."

After Shi Bangyao, the right censor, came out to pay tribute to the orders, the ministers returned to the list and received the voices, waiting for Chongzhen to show him.

Chongzhen said, "I am very shocked by the vast number of officials involved in the Huai'an Tribunal's case! The amount of greed in me is even more shocking! A small yamen with only three imperial officials, no innocent person at all. This is something that has not happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but it is actually a shame to the court! As important officials, shouldn't they reflect on their mistakes?"

All the ministers bowed their heads and said without saying a word. Wen Tiren and Li Banghua came out and bowed and said, "This is the fault of the ministers. Please calm down your anger!"

Chongzhen sighed: "You are responsible for the duties of leading ministers. When you strictly discipline yourself, you should also take on your own responsibilities! The crimes in Huai'an are greedy for millions of taels of ink, which is just a tutoring department. What I dare not think about is that what is the use of so much money? As far as I know, an ordinary family of five in the capital costs only thirty taels a year, and a family can have no worries about food and clothing; while a ninth rank can actually greedy for 300,000 taels of ink! It is enough for a family of 10,000 families of five in a year!"

The ministers were just amazed at how much the ninth-rank official was greedy and did not carefully calculate what was amazing. After Chongzhen said that, he realized that this person's greed was indeed outrageous.

Chongzhen continued: "If you manage it properly, even if you have a net worth of one million, I would be happy to see it. What makes me unbearable is that these silver and money should have been the wealth of the court! Last year, Lianghuai salt classes paid a total of more than 500,000 taels. If this was not the case, I would think it was a constant. Now it seems that I and all the ministers are blinded and do not know it!"

All officials know that there are big tricks in salt classes. As the most important salt classes in the Ming Dynasty, Lianghuai people will definitely work hard to make money. Now after seeing the Huai'an case, I can't help but start to figure out how many salt classes have been filled with their own pockets.

Chongzhen then threw out a big pie: "Last month, I used the treasury to raise the salary of the capital yamen. Calculated, the annual expenses are 300,000 taels; I originally planned to launch a batch of new policies when Taicang and the treasury have more income to increase the reward amount. But the matter of Huai'an made me feel very disappointed! I don't want some greedy people to be rewarded in addition to losing public and private benefits!"

Li Banghua made a report and said, "The emperor is very concerned. When the various government agencies are assessed at the end of the year, I decided to require the inspector to strictly review it and never let the holy grace be disappointed!"

Why? You just raised your salary to everyone, can you go back on your word? You should know that many officials are just about to live a good life. Are you just afraid that others will be greedy for your money and receive your reward? Are you feeling depressed? Then the inspector will help you solve this problem.

Chongzhen nodded and said, "I trust Li Qing. The inspector's office is the head of the inspection and the Ministry of Personnel as the auxiliary. Anyone who violates the court's laws and regulations will be severely punished!"

Li Banghua and Zhou Yun, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, bowed back to the train. Since Wang Yongguang was dismissed from the position of Minister of Personnel, Chongzhen never expected a suitable candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Zhou Yun was responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was also secretly working to strive for justice. Zhou Yun did not see the direction of the wind clearly, so he did not express his opinion.

Chongzhen took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said, "I infer from the Huai'an incident that the salt profit of Lianghuai must be an astonishing number. I will never allow the interests that should belong to the court to be seized by individuals! I am determined to abolish the salt transfer department in various places! Abolish the salt and salt quota system! In the future, no salt is needed to be used to sell salt to get salt. The salt in the entire Ming Dynasty will be sold at the same price at the court!"

Almost everyone in the Ganqing Palace was stunned by Chongzhen's words.

Since Taizu founded this dynasty, it has been more than two hundred years since the Song Dynasty was established, and salt turbulence has become a symbol of silver and money. In some cases, salt turbulence can be used as silver for circulation.

Salt classes are one of the important sources of tax revenue for the court. Although they have been decreasing year by year, they are also a large amount of income for the court that is seriously short of money. How could the emperor say it would be abolished?

Only Hou Xun was aware of the people present. He now became increasingly convinced that the new salt appeared in the market was the emperor's own property. Otherwise, who could instruct the Jinyiwei to protect him? This time, the salt envoys in various places were abolished and the salt induction courses were abolished. In order to fill the treasury, the emperor was also very committed to the struggle.

Wen Tiren hesitated for a moment and still made a speech: "The emperor previously laid off Changlu, which produced very little salt. The retention of the government office was only a waste of national education and caused more than 10,000 stove households to be poor. It is actually a hidden danger on the side of the capital. However, the two Huai River has been operating for two hundred years, and its influence has been very wide in the south of the Yangtze River, and countless people rely on it to support their families. Now the emperor suddenly laid off. Is there any inappropriateness? I think it is enough to punish corrupt officials, and the matter of layoffs still needs to be discussed in the long run."

Wang Yingxiong replied: "What the Chief Supervisor said is very true! I also feel that the abolition is inappropriate! Now the emperor has sent Jinyi to go there, and there are also important officials such as the Right Censor to preside over the anti-corruption affairs. The matter between the two Huai Rivers should be properly resolved. But if the salt guide and salt course are cancelled according to the emperor's words, there are many interests involved, and in the case of damage to his own interests, it may cause unpredictable disasters! I hope the emperor will not make a decision in a hurry because of his momentary intent!"

After all, he is a cabinet master. Although he lacks ability, he must consider everything from the perspective of the court. Wang Yingxiong would naturally think that the emperor's actions may cause unnecessary trouble.

Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, who had been watching coldly, made a list and reiterated: "I do not agree with the words of the two cabinet masters! The priests of the two Huai Rivers are already very clear! Nowadays, when suppressing thieves and people, you need a lot of money and grain. Lianghuai salt classes only pay 500,000 taels of silver. It is barely acceptable to inherit the normal season, but from the Huai'an case, it can be seen that the benefits are far more than that! If you want to get the benefits, you need to be decisive! You need to make serious judgments in troubled times! When you arrest corruption, you must also innovate and eliminate the corruption! The priests must know the inside story in detail, otherwise how could such a decisive move be made! I agree with the sanction of the abolition of Huai salt!"

Yang Sichang is also the heart of Qijilingling. His Yang family has no interest disputes in Lianghuai. It has nothing to do with him if they are abolished or abolished. So he plans to watch the fun on the side.

But when he saw Chongzhen first throwing out the Huai'an case, causing dissatisfaction among the ministers with Lianghuai, and then he pointed out that Lianghuai salt textbooks could be more, and then the internal treasury and Taicang benefited, the treatment of the officials in the capital would be greater. Then, he took the opportunity to release the strategy of abolishing and abolishing, and he immediately understood that the emperor wanted to completely control the salt profit of the Ming Dynasty in his own hands.

Since we know the emperor's purpose, we must perform according to the holy will.

Chongzhen nodded at Yang Sichang with approval and said with a gentle voice: "Yang Qing's words are very consistent with my wishes. I also see it after you take office as your soldier. Your talents are sufficient, so I feel very at ease when the Ministry of War handed over to you!"

Of course, Chongzhen didn't know what Yang Sichang was thinking, but Yang Sichang's words were very much in line with his wishes.

I came from later generations and of course I knew how rich the salt profit was. When the finances were in short supply, I deliberately wanted to take all the salt profits to myself.

But Yang Sichang was in a situation and could actually draw a conclusion that he knew the inside story. This made him have to admit that he must not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. He just had more insight and vision than them.

If you really want to talk about IQ, if you are a native of the Ming Dynasty, you will never reach the height of others in your life.

Yang Sichang returned to the train with satisfaction. The emperor's praise was the foundation of promotion. No matter how big the others had, it was useless. The family secretly scolded Lao Wen and his flesh was foul, but they were still in the position of the chief minister. The key is that Lao Wen can understand the will of the saint. As long as the saint's relatives remained weak, the position of the chief minister would be consistent and stable.

If you want to say that those who can climb to a high position are really elites, and they are more beautiful than monkeys.

Zhou Yun, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also stood up. When he saw Chongzhen's gentle words and comforting Yang Sichang, it means that Yang Sichang guessed the emperor's intentions correctly.

He expressed his passionate statement: "I am discussing the words of my army! The benefits of Huaiyan salt cannot be held with my personal hands! The officials in the Huai'an Chief Secretary are corrupt, and the Ministry of Personnel lacks effective supervision. I am responsible for it! The current government of the capital has become clear and bright, and this is all due to the efforts of the emperor to govern! The Ministry of Personnel is formulating relevant regulations to strive to promote the experience of governing officials in the capital to the entire Ming Dynasty! The people of the emperor are protecting the people of the emperor from the harm of cruel officials!"

This kind of naked flattery behavior caused everyone to secretly despise it, but Chongzhen thought that Zhou Yun was a good man, and he could bring the topic of Huaiyan to the administration and had a future.

Chongzhen said, "Since Zhou Qing has the ambition to change the administration, then do it well and communicate with the cabinet more if there are any difficult things; as long as it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, I will support it with all my strength!"

Since they have chosen the sideline, of course they must have an attitude and not let others touch their butts with a warm face, right?

Zhou Yun was secretly proud and returned with a solemn expression. The emperor was able to respond to all the questions, which meant that he guessed correctly, which left a good impression on the emperor and took another step forward on the road to straightening. But now he hasn't seen who is his competitor, and he can't take the opportunity to give the other party some eye drops. It's a pity.

Chongzhen looked at Hou Xun who was silent on the side and asked, "The Ministry of Revenue has the most say in Huaiyan matter. What is Hou Qing's attitude?"

This is forcing Lao Hou to express his opinion. As long as the Minister of Revenue agrees, the other laymen will not be much convincing when speaking.

Hou Xun hesitated and went out to report: "The emperor's actions are indeed feasible. As long as there are more salt classes in the future than now, then taking back the salt benefits is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. But I also feel that the words of the old master of the King are very reasonable. I think it is better to do it slowly for the sake of stability!"
