Chapter 104: What's the Problem (Part II)

All in all, the consequence of the large output of surplus salt is that private salt is gradually rampant, the production and sales of regular salt have suffered a huge impact, the value of official salt has been lowered, and the government has lost a large amount of salt tax. 【△Net】

Among them, the people who get the most cheap are probably the salt dealers who operate private salt under the banner of surplus salt - Zhu Shufang, who holds the salt guide, disdains to call them salt merchants, and the salt ding will also get a small profit.

Thinking about the cause and effect, Zhu Shufang couldn't help but ask Fan Hongdao: "Could it be that from the very beginning, you realized that Yu Yan's problem was very big, so you deliberately collected evidence in the past two days to confirm your opinion?"

Fan Hongdao said proudly: "That's!"

In fact, this situation is that the planned economic system of unified purchasing and marketing is hit by the commodity economy of the free market, and then it is defeated.

Fan Hongdao, who had experienced a transition in his previous life, was naturally not unusual, and when he first heard the distinction between positive salt and residual salt, he intuitively knew that there was something wrong with residual salt.

Zhu Shufang thought of something again, "You are so disgusted with the Zhang family in Puzhou, and you keep saying that you want to rectify the Zhang family, but you are so concerned about Yu Yan, could it be that the Zhang family has a lot to do with Yu Yan in Hedong?"

"That's right!" Fan Hongdao said with great certainty, and then raised his hand: "The answer is also in the notes!"

Zhu Shufang looked at the notes that were blown by the cold wind, and suddenly felt that there was an infinite amount of mystery in this little broken note.

Fan Hongdao explained: "After the visit, it can be learned that the Salt Transportation Department has set up a tooth person to be responsible for the brokerage and taxation of surplus salt sales. Most of the surplus salt in Yanding's hands must be brokered by Yanyazi. ”

Zhu Shufang is no stranger to the tooth man system, and in many commercial areas of the dynasty, the government has a tooth person. The main role is to act as an intermediary between the buyer and the seller, and at the same time to supervise the execution of contracts and collect taxes on behalf of the government.

Fan Hongdao said again: "I briefly inquired about the situation of Yanyazi, and found that these Yamen have the most three surnames! They are Zhang, Wang, and Yang, don't you notice that they are strange?"

Fan Hongdao's implication, of course Zhu Shufang could hear it, Zhang is the Zhang family of the former first assistant Zhang Siwei?

If the Zhang family in Puzhou is involved simply because of the Zhang character, it may be a bit too far-fetched. But if Zhang, Wang, and Yang appear at the same time, it will be meaningful.

There is also a big family in Puzhou, and the Zhang family has been in-law for generations. Zhang Siwei's mother came from the Wang family, and his uncle Wang Chonggu became the governor and the secretary of the military department, and retired at home first.

The word Yang also has a great background, and it is the Yang family of Yang Bo, the first officialdom magnate in Puzhou in recent decades. The late Yang Bo was the official to the prince and prince of Shangshu during the Jiajing period, and Wang Chonggu was a son and daughter in-law.

Many of these salt teeth are surnamed Zhang, Wang, and Yang, if it is a coincidence, it is too coincidental, anyway, Fan Hongdao absolutely does not believe in this kind of coincidence. 【△Net】

Fan Hongdao said with disdain: "To be a salt tooth, you must be literate and hyphenated, be able to write well, how can ordinary people have this ability." Among the children of those big families, those who are not good at school and have no hope of fame and fame are turned to become salt teeth, which is also a way out.

With the major families in Puzhou, especially the Shoufu Zhang family, as their backers, it is not a problem for these salt teeth to monopolize the sale of surplus salt, and I guess that at least a large part of the profits of surplus salt will fall into the hands of these big families!

If you think about it, the total amount of surplus salt is almost the same as that of the regular salt, what a huge profit it is! Legend has it that the wealth of the Zhang family has increased tenfold in recent years, and it is absolutely not a lie, and it is the imperial court that suffers!"

Fan Hongdao walked around the salt flats for two days, and did not hesitate to use money as bait to chat and interview with the salt ladies in every detail, and the biggest gain was nothing more than this.

How can an outsider do a good job with his eyes dark, relying on a few slogans and official words. Only by truly figuring out the details of the chain of interests of these national moths can we achieve a targeted goal.

Otherwise, I only know that there is a problem with criticizing the Zhang family in language, but I don't know where to actually start, what is the use?

After all, Zhu Shufang is surnamed Zhu, and he has a lot of loyalty and patriotism, thinking of the terrible prospects, he said worriedly: "If this goes on for a long time, the wealthy families everywhere in the world will follow suit, control the surplus salt and squeeze the positive salt, I am afraid that there will be no salt tax in the imperial court!"

Fan Hongdao nodded and said, "It's true that it's not just Hedong Salt Industry, it's everywhere in the world. The seemingly perfect system design, if it does not take into account the factors of human nature, will eventually be completely out of shape!

Besides, the world is different, and no system can be used forever, and it still needs to be constantly revised by those who come after it, and the same is true for the salt law!"

Lord Zhu looked at the notes in Fan Hongdao's hand again, "Could it be that you want to rely on these facts as a basis to ask the procuratorate to completely ban the production and sale of surplus salt?"

Fan Hongdao chuckled a few times, "Human nature is profit-oriented, there are always people who do the business of killing heads, how can Yu Yan be banned? It's not that you can seal it if you want to, that's not realistic at all." ”

Zhu Shufang was a little desperate by Fan Hongdao, "Is there no way to watch the salt government go down?"

Fan Hongdao smiled confidently, "There are still methods, although they can only work for two hundred years." When I sort out the Chen, I will immediately submit it to the Gao Procuratorate, and if Hedong can solve it here, I can ask the imperial court to promote it to all places in the world. ”

Then Fan Hongdao looked at the sky, "It's not too early, I won't continue today, go back and rest early." ”

Zhu Shufang didn't want to drink the northwest wind in the salt flats for a long time, so he immediately beckoned his subordinates to leave immediately, and rushed to the forbidden gate of the wall to prepare a sedan chair.

The group trudged in the direction of the northern wall, and Zhu Shufang always felt that something was missing, as if something extremely important had been forgotten.

She looked at Fan Hongdao's back, thinking desperately, and finally suddenly remembered that her original intention was to ask Fan Hongdao, where is the pie she painted for herself?

As a result, he went back and forth with Fan Hongdao, and he ran 108,000 miles off topic! Worrying about the country and the people is important, but at present, it can't be eaten!

Zhu Shufang stepped forward quickly, grabbed Fan Hongdao's back, and shouted coquettishly: "I almost forgot, what exactly was the thing you promised, where is the big gift you said?"

Fan Hongdao didn't look at Zhu Shufang, but looked at the old mother next to her, and blamed: "I said you old woman, why don't you come here to persuade your county lord to need self-respect?"

The old mother did not squint and was indifferent, Fan Hongdao said to Zhu County Lord: "What we are doing is a major matter that benefits the country and the people, and it is a great cause to clarify the salt law!

Lord Zhu threatened in an unkind tone: "If you pull things around, I will let the house slaves strip you naked and throw you on the salt flats!"

The house slaves cheered, "The little ones have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Fan Hongdao exclaimed: "You actually don't care about my face so much!"

"Your Fan Hongdao's face is only worth a thousand taels, and in front of the interests of tens of thousands of taels of silver, your face is not enough!" said Lord Zhu unceremoniously. Mobile phone users please browse w reading for a better reading experience.
