Xu Yi is a smart person, and he also noticed Li Yu's abnormality.

It's just that Li Yu didn't discuss this matter with him in advance, and at this time he heard that Yu Changqing wanted to make suggestions. Although he knew that he must have bad intentions, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Yu's gourd.

In the curious eyes of everyone, Yu Changqing said seriously to Lin Haoran: "The drawbacks of the Huai Salt Law are not in the salt merchants!" The merchants of Huaiyan are all law-abiding people, and they also pay enough salt and silver to the imperial court, if the adults start with the salt merchants, this is really a big fallacy! ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Chen Boren and other salt merchants suddenly lit up, but they gave Yu Changqing a thumbs up one after another. This person was already speaking for them, and at the same time looked at Lin Haoran with schadenfreude.

Although Lin Haoran's status is noble, the officials in Yangzhou City are like Yu Changqing, so they can sit back and relax.

Chen Xian and Xu Yi listened to these remarks, but they looked at Lin Haoran silently, but they were not sure whether this Lord Qincha would attack Yu Changqing over this.

Lin Haoran did not move, and kept a smile on his face, but he waited quietly for the next step. He can naturally make trouble, but this kind of will make him lose his demeanor, which is not conducive to opening up the situation in Yangzhou, and it is not conducive to him trying to win over some officials.

Hey?

Li Yu looked at Lin Haoran and was indifferent, and glanced at Lin Haoran with a solemn face.

Yu Changqing maintained a posture of looking at death as home, and then continued: "The disadvantages of salt politics are maggots. The officials of the Yamen in the capital ate salt, and sent officials to the salt field every year to buy it directly, which is actually the root cause of the salt law. The salt of the Yamen in the capital is not in accordance with common sense, but the officials take advantage of the power of the Beijing Yamen, often several times the collection and transportation back to Beijing, along the way smugglers sabotage the salt administration, there are hundreds of officials and large ships, plugging the river, smuggling along the way, cars and horses, do not dare to ask, the salt law is stagnant. If adults can get rid of this evil disease, they will definitely be able to make the salt law work smoothly, which is a great achievement! ”

When Li Yu and the others heard this, they looked at Lin Haoran gloatingly.

The benefits of some units in later generations have the same effect. The officials in the capital not only had the money of the imperial court, but also received salt from the yamen. The yamen in the capital do not need to go through the two Huai to turn the envoys, nor do they need to buy salt, and every year they send officials to the two Huai salt fields to directly collect salt at a low price.

There is nothing wrong with this system, but it has made a loophole for the hearts of people. They took advantage of the power of the yamen in the capital, and often transported it back to Beijing several times or dozens of times, and smuggled the excess salt along the way, so as to obtain a large amount of valuable profits.

Now, this chain of interests has already taken shape, and the yamen in the capital are also happy to see it come to fruition. If Lin Haoran chooses to break it, it will move the cake of many officials in the capital, and it will inevitably be attacked by the officials in the capital.

Yan Maoqing in the past knew the disadvantages of "Beijing official salt", but after weighing the three, he still didn't dare to do it.

I see!

When Xu Yi heard this "good policy", he immediately realized. This proposal is fake, and it is clearly to push Lin Haoran on the cliff and make him stand on the opposite side of the officials in the capital.

Lin Haoran is no longer a newcomer to officialdom, and since he knows the pros and cons, his brows furrowed slightly, but he raised his head and asked seriously: "How to change it?" ”

"Hundreds of officials stopped eating salt, completely solved this stubborn disease, and made the Daming Salt Law unimpeded!" Yu Changqing already had a plan in his heart, so he replied loudly.

Hehe......

Li Yu was very proud in his heart, but he silently observed how Lin Haoran, who frowned, would choose.

If Lin Haoran rejected Yu Changqing's proposal, it would be "cowardice", and it would be a slap in the face. If he chooses to play the hundred officials of the imperial court to stop eating salt, he is standing on the opposite side of the officials in the capital.

Although many high-ranking officials will not plan a little salt profit, the officials at the bottom are bound to compare, and now that Lin Haoran really implements this new rule, he will inevitably lose the support of the low-level officials.

It was under his actions that a big problem was put in front of Lin Haoran and asked him to make a choice in public.

Brilliant!

Chen Boren also saw this scene in his eyes, his eyes couldn't hide the schadenfreude, and at the same time he looked at Lin Haoran curiously, wondering what kind of trade-off this kid would make. Do you want to continue to be the Lin Lei Gong who asks for the people's life? Or do you choose to back down?

Lin Haoran thought for a moment, but shook his head lightly and said, "This method is not appropriate!" ”

"Heh, what Lin Qingtian, it's just self-deception!"

Although Li Yu and the others hoped that Lin Haoran could stop eating salt from the Beijing officials and directly offend the officials in the capital, they knew that Lin Haoran was not so stupid. However, Lin Haoran is so convinced, which is still an acceptable result.

Yu Changqing also felt a little more disdain in his heart, so he asked: "Lord Qincha doesn't dare?" ”

Chen Fengming, the general judge of Yangzhou Prefecture, and Ma Chuyuan, the magistrate of Jiangdu, knew that things were tricky, and they also looked at Lin Haoran worriedly.

Lin Haoran smiled and explained: "Yu Tuiguan, you have misunderstood!" It's not that the official doesn't dare, but your method is actually not right! ”

"What's wrong?" Yu Changqing wanted to defend himself, so he asked with a calm face.

The smiles on the faces of Li Yu and the others disappeared, and they looked at Lin Haoran suspiciously.

Lin Haoran met everyone's eyes and explained seriously: "Jingguan salt is a rule set by Chengzu, and this system has been used to this day, which proves that there is nothing wrong with it!" Now there are drawbacks, not the system itself, the disadvantages are that the purchasing officials double up and sell along the way, because some people fill their own pockets! ”

"What's the difference?" Yu Changqing's mind was slightly stuck, and he asked in confusion.

Hey?

Chen Xian and the others also turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran, but they didn't understand his true intentions.

Lin Haoran said eloquently: "Naturally, there is a difference! If the disadvantage is in the official salt in Beijing, it can be abolished! Now the disadvantage lies in the corruption of the dispatched officials, so we can start from curbing corruption and prevent the dispatched officials from being greedy for ink! Isn't it beautiful to ask the two Huai to transfer the envoys to issue the corresponding salt guides, and send officials to the salt works to pick up salt, so as to curb their trafficking and destruction of the salt law along the way! ”

This......

Yu Changqing's mouth opened slightly, and he finally understood Lin Haoran's train of thought, daring to feel this is the most ingenious solution, there is really no need to directly abolish Jingguan salt.

The smile on Li Yu's face disappeared, and he looked at Lin Haoran in disbelief. The problem that he thought he was clever turned out to be solved easily in the eyes of the other party.

If the abolition of the salt of the Beijing officials is indeed offended by all the officials in the capital, but if it is only to prevent corruption, it is to offend the officials who were dispatched and the profiteers behind the scenes, which Lin Haoran can afford.

"That's a wonderful way!"

Chen Fengming, the general judge of Yangzhou Prefecture, exchanged glances with Ma Chuyuan, the magistrate of Jiangdu, and nodded again and again.

"Yes, this method can indeed solve this evil disease, the old man admires it!"

Yangzhou Fuxue is a little old man, and at this time he solemnly gave a salute to Lin Haoran, which was already impressed by Lin Haoran's intelligence.
