Teacher Yuan, General Yuan, don’t let me down, I look forward to you!

The commander Yuan in history has long been sent away by Zhu Youxiao. Not to mention interfering in military affairs, even contact is nowhere to be possible.

If it weren't for the same surname and the Emperor Yuan had another surname, the emperor would almost forget the one who could be yelled.

Even though I think about it now, I just asked the Ministry of Personnel to investigate, and the emperor threw it behind me again.

Now, the famous generals and generals in history gathered in Liaodong, with sufficient soldiers and enough food, and the emperor did not have much worry. Jiannu was about to be destroyed. What kind of demons can Yuan Dachui, who was born as a Jinshi?

History has completely changed, and Zhu Youxiao can be 100% sure. While changing history, he has also changed the fate of too many people.

Xiong Tingbi, Mao Wenlong, He Kegang, Zhang Pan, Mangui, Huang Long, Kong Youde, Zu Dashou and other generals all embarked on a different path of life than history.

Of course, they also fought hard on the battlefield in Liaodong, made achievements, and were granted marquis and generals. However, some people seemed to have lost the opportunity to perform and the times to create heroes were gone!

For example, Lu Xiangsheng, who has been promoted from Jinshi to the current commander of the Five City Military Command, has been promoted in a few years. However, Jiannu is about to be destroyed, and it is unlikely to be able to get a stage to show his loyalty and courage in the future.

But Zhu Youxiao did not feel regretful, just like he would not let others believe in his predictions of major disasters, and would not make every effort to prepare, allowing major disasters to cause extremely bad effects or even social unrest.

Then, he showed off a hypocritical face and said: Look, I have said it a long time ago, you don’t believe it; I have known for a long time, you don’t listen.

Although many people like to show their far-sightedness in this way, the words "The hindsight" are not only offensive and annoying, but have no practical meaning.

Zhu Youxiao did not need to improve his image in this way, nor did he need any wise and powerful reputation. As long as the people can survive, the throne will be sat firmly. This is his foundation.

"So fast!" The emperor looked through the information handed over by the East Factory, pursed his lips, and was a little surprised, "The ticket salt method has just been implemented for less than three months?"

Since Changlu Salt Factory started to pilot the ticket salt method? To this day, the salt price in Beijing has dropped by 20%, but the quality has improved.

The East Factory is not only responsible for monitoring officials, but also responsible for summarizing and reporting private information, such as prices, drought and flood, harvest, etc.

"The emperor is polite to the people? Is he promulgating the law on the ticket and salt to calm the price of people? It will benefit all the people." Wei Zhongxian bowed and flattered.

Zhu Youxiao knew that the decline in salt prices was not surprising, but the speed of time was different from what he imagined.

Unlike the salt merchants designated by the outline method? The ticket and salt method is for the public. As long as you have the financial resources to buy 500 kilograms of salt, you can go to the salt factory to sell salt. The ex-factory price of the salt factory naturally includes salt tax.

Five hundred kilograms of salt are a small restriction. Don’t let ordinary people go to the salt factory if they buy two kilograms of salt? It’s not like opening a small shop. But five hundred kilograms of salt is nothing for a small shop.

The emperor knew that this was a waste of the salt merchant's job, but the salt tax was directly transferred to the finance department. Private salt dealers who evade taxes no longer had to risk illegal crimes, and could buy them directly at the salt factory.

The most important thing is that without the monopoly of big salt merchants, the salt produced from the salt factory can be priced relatively normally through market regulation and compete fairly? It is natural to improve quality.

Do you mix sand and soil into salt and hope to sell well? It’s not just yours.

Is this expected thing for the people to get benefits? I just don’t know if the salt tax will increase significantly.

Zhu Youxiao pondered and gently put down the information. He was waiting for Xia Zhongshi to come up. If the effect was good, he could promote it in Lianghuai and Guangdong next year.

The corruption and crackdown on profiteers will be quickly invested? But it cannot last long. The country's normal finances and normal operations can't always rely on these side-by-side doors?

If there was no corruption, no profiteering, and no parasites of powerful vassal kings, that would be the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Youxiao was looking forward to.

"We don't need to send these daily reports to the palace." The emperor raised his head and said slowly: "The situation in various provinces in the northern region should be reported more. You should know that the disaster is approaching and has the greatest impact on the north."

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly bowed and replied, "I know, I will send more people after I go back so that the emperor can understand clearly."

Zhu Youxiao said with a slight head, "Although Jiannu was rampant for a while, he was eventually lacking in foundation and was not far from his destruction. The worries within the empire were the biggest cause of shaking the country. Over the years, I have been rectifying the situation and have improved now, but we must not relax and we must always seize it."

"Don't worry, the emperor." Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, looking very hated, "Whoever dares to be kind, who dares to be corrupt, who dares to make the emperor unhappy, I will never let him go."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, and Lao Wei was even more happy.

When the emperor pointed to the east, he ran to the east; when the emperor wanted to beat the dog, he would never chase the chicken. This is the only way to maintain the holy family. As for whether it is right or wrong, it is not something that he, a eunuch, considered.

Zhu Youxiao pointed to the fruit placed on the table and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Wei, I'll give you this fruit."

"I thank you for your kindness." Wei Zhongxian knelt down and kowtowed, so moved that he almost burst into tears.

As for it, the fruits the emperor ate were also grown in the field, and the taste and taste had to be selected. It was not difficult for Lao Wei to eat them.

But imperial reward is the highest honor, which is a consensus in feudal society. Lao Wei's performance also has some performance elements, just to please the emperor.

"Go!" The emperor was indeed happy. He watched Lao Wei hold the fruits with a precious place, and waved his hand with a smile.

Wang Tiqian sent Lao Wei out of the palace and rolled his eyes behind his back. He could not let Lao Wei return to the palace to serve the emperor and steal the holy family from the miscellaneous family.

The salt and iron monopoly is already half completed. As long as there is no corrupt official, the salt tax is a big investment.

Zhu Youxiao sat in the imperial chair, thinking and calculating.

Punishing corruption and cracking down on collusion between officials and businessmen has achieved great results. Not only salt tax but also tea tax should also increase significantly.

The relaxation of maritime trade and the strict ban on smuggling have led to rapid growth of customs revenue. Although the maritime tax in Fujian and Guangdong has basically been invested in the navy, many have entered the treasury.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also has high hopes for tobacco monopoly. The actual situation is not unexpected. With the increase of planting area, the increase of tobacco plants, the increase of production capacity, and the tobacco tax has also increased year by year.

Smoking is harmful to health, and there is no problem. But compared with the disaster of the country's demise and the major disasters of the Little Ice Age, it is a big deal.

If the Liao Dynasty can be successfully pacified, it will save a lot of military expenditure, and you may be able to see gold and silver next year.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
