"Your Majesty, I have no objection to the implementation of private salt, but at the same time, we must also come up with a charter to avoid changes in the lives of the people in the coastal areas."

Lianghuai Yushi stood up and said.

"Most of the people in the coastal waters live by selling illicit salt, and after the smuggled salt is collected and owned by the government, the business of selling illicit salt, which these people rely on for their livelihood, will be banned, which will force these people to make a choice."

"Either starve to death, or continue to take risks and sell illicit salt with the evil villain, which is not good for the imperial court!"

"I have also considered these things..."Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly and said:

"Since the Hongwu years, the illegal salt in the coastal areas has been repeatedly banned, and the collusion between officials and businessmen has become commonplace, so that local corruption and people's livelihood are poor, and a new system needs to be established to manage it."

"The possession of private salt officials will deprive many coastal people of their sources of income, and the imperial court needs to do its best to provide relief for these people and arrange for them to be taken out to support their families."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao sighed in his heart, it seems that no matter what kind of reform, it will not be smooth sailing, and it cannot be completely good.

The implementation of private salt officials will bring a lot of profits to the imperial court in the long run, but after this discussion, we know that like the development of firearms, it is still necessary to invest a large amount of manpower, material resources and funds first.

What's more, this kind of reform is likely to bring about great changes in the fundamental life of the local people, and if it is not handled properly, it may be like the abolition of the post station during the Chongzhen period in history, and a "Li Zicheng" will be forced to rebel.

As the words fell, the hundreds of officials under the rank began to discuss eagerly again.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister proposed to set up an inspection department in the coastal state capital, sort out the salt affairs, and the Beijing will uniformly deploy inspections in various places to eliminate corruption."

"Although what Zhang Shilang said is good, it is too one-sided, and the lower official will mention a supplement."

Soon someone stepped forward and added:

"The Inspection Division has existed since ancient times, it is a place for gathering troops in important transportation areas, and this time it will be set up again, if the name is renamed, it is easy for officials and people around the country to misunderstand, why not change the name to the Salt Inspection Division? It is good to tell the world the determination of the imperial court to manage salt! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded? I began to think carefully in my mind.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was already a governance of coastal salt? But there has been no effective control? Despite the imperial court's explicit ban, the sale of illicit salt in various places now? It's still rampant.

Of course, there are reasons why the imperial court did not set up a special yamen and a department to manage it, but more? Or is it some kind of so-called agreement between local officials and smugglers.

This unwritten rule is everywhere? Local state and county officials are generally in charge of salt affairs, and they also know that private salt is a big profiteering. But nothing was done.

Since you are determined to control the salt business? It is also necessary to be prepared to deal with corrupt officials at the same time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and when the hall gradually became quiet, he said:

"The Salt Patrol Division's proposal is good, but besides? I also plan to set up a salt inspection bureau in Penglai to control the salt patrol departments in various places. ”

"It is necessary to make statistics as soon as possible on the existing government-run salt farms in Shandong and the coastal areas of Lianghuai? How many registered salt pans are there, and how much official salt can be produced each year? I need to know all of this. ”

"This matter, just leave it to the East Factory? Wei Zhongxian's errand? I don't worry. ”

Speaking of which? Zhu Youxiao still had to sigh, at this time, Fang knew Wei Zhongxian's ability, if this kind of thing was handed over to someone else to investigate, it was really not very reassuring.

As for the Minister's Mansion, because the Minister's Mansion is developing in secret, everyone is a dead soldier, so the development is extremely slow, and there are only a few hundred people until now.

This kind of major event involving coastal towns across the country is too extensive, and the volume of the government is far from enough, and Jinyiwei is not good.

Thinking of this, General Zhu Youxiao's eyes narrowed, thinking about whether to take Dongchang back from Wei Zhongxian's hands, but now that he looks, he has to wait.

Wei Zhongxian, and his usefulness!

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers shouted one after another.

......

After the court meeting was dispersed, Zhu Youxiao did not return to the Qianqing Palace.

There is a little advantage of the dynasty, that is, basically there is something to say, everything that should be said at the court meeting has been said, the hundred officials discussed, and the policy is directly issued and issued from the top.

If everyone pools their wisdom, the court meeting can be a good way to understand the place and respond in a timely manner, but the fact is that since Jiajing, the court meeting has gradually lost its effectiveness and has become a battlefield for civil officials to use their pen and ink and form factions and fight each other.

Such a court meeting is naturally useless or not.

After the advent of the dynasty, the doubts of some officials have been resolved, and there are many fewer books in the Qianqing Palace than in the past, which also allows Zhu Youxiao to spare more time to come to the harem to have a look.

said that he was going back to the harem, but in fact, Zhu Youxiao came directly to Kunning Palace.

"Two mothers, Your Majesty is here!"

It was still far away, and the female official in charge of Kunning Palace, Xu Shi, saw the Son of Heaven's honorable driver, and hurriedly reminded the two little masters inside.

Why two?

Because at this time, Concubine Yu Tong Jing'er was accompanying Zhang Yan to talk in Kunning Palace, there was no other fun in the harem, and the women also liked to gossip.

For Zhu Youxiao, the feelings of the two girls are different.

First of all, relatively speaking, it is obvious that Zhang Yan is more favored, and he has also expressed his support in the harem dispute more than once, which also makes Zhang Yan gradually have some feelings from being strange at the beginning.

After all, it's been four years, and even if it's a piece of wood, it's time to cultivate feelings.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao really didn't say to Zhang Yan that there was no second woman in the harem who could "occupy" the emperor for so long.

When she first entered the palace, Zhang Yan heard that Zhu Youxiao was coming, and she was afraid to avoid it, and even sneered coldly from time to time.

But now, she was always looking at the direction of Emperor Xinuan Pavilion's governance in a daze, secretly looking forward to it in her heart, and when she heard Xu's shout, her face was surprised, and she hurriedly threw down the book and ran out.

"Look at my sister's urgency!"

Tong Jing'er was also reading a book, and was startled when she heard the voice, but when she came back to her senses, she saw that Zhang Yan had already run out to greet her like a little woman.

Regarding Zhu Youxiao's feelings, Tong Jing'er is really more complicated than Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan is the first beauty selected by the three thousand beautiful women, first by the current concubine, and then by the Son of Heaven as the queen, this kind of honor can be described as the first in the crown.

And as for her Tong Jing'er, she was just a palace lady who served tea and water in the Xinuan Pavilion before.

If it weren't for the emperor's bad mood that night, he accidentally blessed her, but I'm afraid that she is still just an ordinary palace lady.

Tong Jing'er is very self-aware, and knows that she can't compare with today's queens in terms of appearance or speech and demeanor.

In her opinion, being able to be fortunate to have a daughter by the emperor and be named a concubine is already a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations, how dare she expect anything else.

"Concubine Yu is also there! It's just right, come and pinch my shoulders and pound my legs! There are a lot of things to discuss at this meeting, but I'm tired to death..."

Zhu Youxiao had just come down from the court, and after sitting for a long time, he felt a pain all over his body.

The first resumption of the dynasty has been carried out for a long time, and many accumulated affairs are being dealt with today, and preparations are being made before dawn, and when the dynasty is dispersed, it is already noon when the sun is shining.

Tong Jing'er has the lowest status here, and this kind of thing should be done by her.

This kind of opportunity to get close to the emperor was very rare in the past, and if you let Gong E do it at this time, I am afraid that Tong Jing'er is still unwilling.

She didn't complain, and when she walked to the back, she used skillful techniques to loosen Zhu Youxiao's shoulders.

Zhang Yan sat on the couch with her, picked up the teapot held by Xu, and asked while pouring, "Your Majesty, will the court go well?" ”

Zhu Youxiao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile:

"Smooth, two big things have been decided!"

"What's the matter?"

"The north is driven to Tumut, and the private salt is official!"

"I have a blueprint in my heart, a blueprint to make Daming stronger and stronger!" Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao's expression became excited, and he seemed to be ready to do a big job.
