Chapter 2809 2811 [Stealing a chicken will not make you lose rice]

Although Xiang Nanming ordered the ban, the case of Nightmare Curse cannot be circulated.

But the Empress Dowager, Empress, Emperor, and Gao Xiang soon received the news.

After all, they all have eyes and ears in the East Palace, and it is impossible to hide such a big thing from them.

After hearing the entire incident, they couldn't help but have their own considerations.

"Cheng Yin is really smart and is decisive in handling things, but his methods are a little softer." Li Zi sighed to Cao Ji, "It is not an exaggeration to demote a poisonous woman like Gao Ruyi to a commoner."

"I guess His Highness the Crown Prince is also concerned about the relationship between high court, so he is just a little bit open." Cao Ji explained.

Li Zhi nodded.

Now the salt administration reform is being implemented. He must use the Gao family, which is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the Six Ministry, to suppress and appease.

So Xiang Nan's move is good. He not only seized the real evidence and punished Gao Ruyi in a legitimate way, but also punished him for kneeling for a month, which was just a small punishment.

Compared to the crime she committed enough to behead her head, she just kneels down and punishes the "Women's Commandment" and is already the lightest, and it is enough to make Gao Ruyi fear power and be virtuous and alert the Gao family.

The handling was really good, and even he couldn't get any mistakes.

...

"Gao Liangdi is really confused! With the current situation of the Gao family, she is always low-key and still eye-catching. She dares to do such a thing. She is such a fool!" Queen Zhang Meiniang cursed.

As soon as Gao Xian died, the Gao family broke its arm, and its power was already worse than before. Many political enemies are now ready to move, wishing to overthrow the Gao Xiang party.

The more you are at this time, the less you can make mistakes. Try to be low-key, accumulate strength, and wait for a counterattack. However, Gao Ruyi played with conspiracy at this time, but she accidentally messed up.

Stealing chickens will not only make a fortune but also exposes herself. It is really not worth the loss and embarrassing. Her scheming is so far from being taller than her.

"Yes." Rong Shuang nodded, "She did this to ruin the prince's favor for her. Even if the confinement is lifted in the future, how can she stay in the East Palace?"

"Cheng Yin is really smart. He pulled Gao Liangdi out with just three punches and two kicks." The Empress Dowager said with relief, "I am worthy of being my great-grandson, and I did not misunderstand him.

That Gao Liangdi is too. She is only three sisters now, and she is not satisfied yet, so she will harm others again. In the future, she will ascend the throne and become three thousand beauties in the harem. Wouldn't she be angry to death?"

...

After hearing this, Gao Yuming was so angry that he threw all the teacup.

He was not angry that Xiang Nan punished Gao Ruyi for being harsh, but he hated that his daughter was too unwise.

Gao Xian is dead now, and the Gao family's forces in the Western Region are not dared to say that they have been uprooted, but they are also damaged and there is not much left.

The forces in the court and the West support each other and cover each other. Just like the word "man", it is unstable if there is no side missing.

The situation in the Gao family is now unstable and shaky. In this case, he has to choose to keep a low profile.

When the imperial court elected the Protectorate of the Angua Prefecture in the Western Region, he did not dare to fight for it; when the imperial court promoted salt administration, he also tried his best to support it, for fear of being targeted by those political enemies.

But his daughter was ignorant and wanted to make trouble in the palace. Fortunately, she had three thousand nails on the rotten ship, and the prince was worried that she would only punish her kneeling and copy the "Women's Commandment".

Otherwise, doing witchcraft in the palace would cause a loss of head.

It was because of the witchcraft disaster that Emperor Wu of Han killed the empress, prince and many other adults, and tens of thousands died, and hundreds of thousands were implicated, which led to the decline of the Han Empire from prosperity and the later "Huo Guang's autocracy."

Therefore, the courts of all dynasties have learned from it and forbidden the witchcraft nightmare curse.

"Tang Law" records that "those who make animals poison and sects will be beaten. Although the sects who make animals will be forgiven, they will live together in their families, and the sects will also travel three thousand miles."

"Father, my sister is also angry that Zhao Jingyu was promoted to the Protector of the Angua Mansion in the Western Region, so she attacked Zhao Sesse." Gao Kun explained on behalf of her sister.

"The eighth tycoon Zhao Jingyu was originally supported by our Gao family, but now he wants to ride on us." Gao Zhen also cursed.

If it wasn't for the Gao family's recommendation, Zhao Jingyu would not be qualified to be the Marquis of Zhenbei. Now he has snatched Gao Xian's position, and is also indifferent to the Gao family, without any reluctance. He is really a turtle.

What’s even more hateful is that Zhao Shixuan wants to compete with him for Miss Mingyue, which is even more damn!

Gao Yuming sighed.

When he first recommended Zhao Jingyu as Zhenbeihou, he originally thought it would be a wonderful move.

He cooperated with each other in Danchi and Gao Xian, and his daughter Zhao Sesse and Queen Gao Ruyi in the future. In the Western Region, the harems complement each other, and the Gao family can also steadily suppress the Zhao family.

But now, the Zhao family wants to suppress the Gao family.

The plan really cannot keep up with the changes. Who would have thought that Gao Xian suddenly died at a young age, only in his thirties.

...

After Gao Ruyi's accident, Gao Yuming was helpless and had to do his best to support the salt administration reform in order to show his performance.

With the emperor's will and the ministers' promotion, the salt administration reform was finally promoted smoothly.

Eight major general managers were selected nationwide to be responsible for managing and operating the world's salt.

They sit in the place of production, monopolize the output of salt, and then sell it to distributors in each province. Distributors in each province continue to distribute it downwards, and finally sell it to salt stalls in each township and village. Then through these stalls, the salt is sold to each household.

In this way, the government no longer directly interferes in the manufacturing, transportation, and sales of salt, but only supervises, taxes, checks private salt, regulates salt prices, etc., and its functions are similar to those of today's Tobacco Administration.

After the salt administration reform, the annual salt tax in the dynasty was only 3 million guan. However, now, in order to win the national unified salt sales rights, the bidding has increased to more than one million guan.

In this way, the Feng Dynasty earned more than five million chunks each year, equivalent to one-sixth of the total tax revenue, which can be said to be a fortune.

According to Xiang Nan's estimate, with the implementation of the salt administration, the general merchants will make more and more money, and the prices of the eight unified sales rights will also rise, and will eventually reach more than 1.5 million guan.

The dynasty will also increase the tax of nine million yuan every year, which will help consolidate rule, arm the army, provide relief to the victims, develop the economy, and raise the people...

Because the salt administration reform was proposed by Xiang Nan, Li Zi became more and more satisfied with his prince.

"Cheng Yin, this matter can be accomplished, thanks to you." He smiled and said to Xiang Nan, "After saying that, what reward do you want?"

"As the crown prince, I am the duty of my son to share my father's worries, so how dare I reward you?" Xiang Nan bowed and said.

"Well said." Li Zi nodded with a smile, "But you have to reward me if you have any merits. Otherwise, who else would be willing to give me any advice in the future?"

"Father, I am keen on making some gadgets, but I am just a single horse, and my ability is limited. I hope my father will allocate funds to help me build a workshop and let me tinker with some small things." Xiang Nan said to Li Zi.

Li Zhi was stunned and thought that Xiang Nan had indeed made many small things.

For example, iron frogs, music boxes, cosmetics, perfumes, etc. are indeed very innovative.

"Okay, since you like it, I will let you do it." Li Zi nodded, "But I want to remind you not to lose your ambitions. You need these strange and lustful skills, and it's fine to play with them occasionally, don't be addicted to it."

"My son follows the order."
