Su Lu took a big break the next day to get to know Fan Xiang with his father-in-law, and found that this was an amazing financial master.

Originally, the salt method used by the imperial court was the salt method, which simply means that the sale of salt is monopolized by the imperial court, and the production, transportation, and sales are all handled by the imperial court, and there is no room for others to interfere.

Fan Xiang carried out a pilot project in Shaanxi and boldly reformed it into a banknote and salt law.

That is, the imperial court issued salt money, and the salt merchants went to pick up the goods themselves, and the imperial court only needed to take the money, and the salt merchants would worry about other transportation work. After a few years of trial, the salt profit is not less, and it can save millions of dollars in wear and tear and transportation costs every year!

Su Lu checked it with his very useful golden finger on the spot, and found that the salt method used in the Ming and Qing dynasties could not get out of this mold, which shows that it was the most suitable salt method for national conditions before the arrival of the industrial age.

No wonder he is old, and his father-in-law still wants to poach people to work in the third division!

With such awesome financial management ability, it's a pity not to make some money for the country by giving full play to your spare heat!

Su Lu said to Zhang Fangping with great anticipation: "I really want to meet this powerful person as soon as possible, if I can learn a little bit of ability from him, I will definitely be useful for life!" ”

Zhang Fangping glanced at him.

It sounds so nice, but in fact, don't you just want to learn to make money?

What's the use of learning this?

Even if Fan Xiang changed the salt law so well, isn't the official position perennial and even ruthlessly pushed down? It's so hard to get ahead with this!

After inquiring about Fan Xiang's specific situation, Su Fang asked Zhang Fangping if he was ready to fully implement Fan Xiang's banknote and salt law.

The pilot has yielded results, and it is time for full implementation!

Zhang Fangping said: "What do you do when you ask so much? ”

Su Lu said: "It's not my father yet, he has to ask me to write an article on this, I think you are most familiar with it, so I came to ask you." ”

Zhang Fangping gave him a positive answer.

You can save so much money just along the way, and if it is implemented nationwide, it should be of great benefit to the imperial finances.

Su Lu followed Zhang Fangping to the Third Division to read the salt administration information in the past few years.

For Su Lu, Su Li's beloved son, Zhang Fangping's beloved apprentice, the people of the three divisions are quite familiar, and they heard Su Lu say that they want to understand the matter of Yanzheng, and they quickly helped Su Lu find out the relevant archives.

As long as Zhang Fangping's name is moved, the efficiency of the officials below is still very high!

Su Lu admired in his heart, and happily flipped through the thick stack of salt administration files.

In order to ensure that nothing was missed, Su Lu found an online scanning website and scanned them all while looking at them, and easily achieved the achievement of memorizing (forgetting that you can also check the archive).

With these materials as the foundation, it will be easier for Su Lu to come up with a specific plan.

Seeing the old sayings of the money law and the banknote and salt law, there have been several rounds of competition in the court, and the support rate is a bit low, and many people may not only not respond when they are implemented, but also secretly make stumbling blocks.

Su Lu decided to copy a new name, Gangyun Law.

Look at this name, there is a program and a law, is it very safe to hear it?

The program transportation law was born out of the banknote and salt law, but it has a "program transportation right", and the businessmen who have won the program transportation rights and have their names written in the program book can sell salt, and the businessmen who have not obtained the program transportation rights cannot get official salt, not to mention, they have to go to prison for selling smuggled salt without permission.

With the Gangyun Law, the court can get a lot of money every year, and the remaining risks and hidden costs are borne by the salt merchants who bid for the right to carry the Gangyun, and the salt merchants who earn taxes pay taxes to the court, and they bear their own losses.

If the salt merchant does not sell well, not to mention the low amount of tax, and the court needs to help wipe his buttocks, the court has the right to withdraw the right to transport.

As for how to make money from it, that is a matter for the salt merchants themselves.

The monopoly of the monopoly market is given to you, and you can still make yourself lose money, can you still blame the court?

At night, light a lamp.

Copy, copy endlessly.

Su Lu first stood on the shoulders of history to improve the Gangyun method, and then gave his father a tip: the salt drying process in the salt pans in the coastal areas.

According to the comparison of the current salt administration and the salt administration of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Su Lu found that the popularization of the technology of drying salt should have occurred after the Northern Song Dynasty became the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty moved the capital to Hangzhou, which is close to the sea, and it is said that it is close to the mountains and the water, and this is close to the sea, so don't you have to rely on the sea to eat?

For the imperial finance, selling salt is an important income, so everyone has worked the salt-making process, and there has been a huge leap in quality and output.

The beautiful and rich Fugui Township in the south of the Yangtze River has made the Great Song Dynasty survive for another hundred years.

Until the Qing Dynasty, there were often large salt merchants rising in the south.

It is said that when Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he was warmly entertained by the salt merchants, and it was the construction bank palace and the garden.

Qianlong was very moved when he saw it, and after he went back, he pondered for two years, and all these rich salt merchants were wiped out in one go, and at the same time, it also caused a great earthquake in the imperial court, and the famous bronze tooth and iron tooth Ji Xiaolan was also exiled to Xinjiang at that time.

Two things can be seen from this.

First, monopoly business is really rich.

Second, don't show the emperor that you have money.

Su Lu directly listed the big salt farms in the Ming and Qing dynasties for his father and his father-in-law to use as a pilot.

Although the salt drying process can save a lot of costs in the long run and the output is greatly improved, it has a lot of investment in the early stage and high requirements for site selection.

For example, in these places in Sichuan, even if you blow the salt drying process to the sky, you can only dig salt wells honestly, and there is no sea or saltwater lake in Sichuan, so take your head to dry!

After Su Lu finished writing the last stroke, he sighed, feeling that he had paid too much for his father and father-in-law to be promoted!

If they don't give him a hand to rely on, they'll be sorry for his hard work!

Su Lu put away the salt law reform plan that he had carefully sorted out, and hurriedly handed it over to his father Su Jian early the next morning and hurried to school.

Yesterday, during the lunch break, he ran to the third division to read the information, and last night he worked hard to draft a proposal, which made him get up late in the morning and almost be late for school!

It was in this situation that Su Lu met Sima Guang in a narrow way.

Su Lu saw a strange official walking towards Zishantang from a distance, and intuitively felt that this should be a new teacher, so he immediately stopped overtaking and stepped forward to say hello as if nothing happened: "Are you here to give us a lecture?" ”

Sima Guang saw that Su Lu's face was slightly red, and his breath was still panting, knowing that he had come all the way, he couldn't help frowning.

There are only three students in Zishantang, one is Zhao Zhonglian, a disciple of the clan, the other is Wang Yan, the son of Wang Anshi, and the youngest one is Su Yan, the youngest son of Su Lian's family.

Sima Guang heard a lot about Su Lu, of course this kid is smart, but his temperament is too unstable, and he is a little tired on weekdays, Ouyang Xiu and Han Jiang both asked him to stare at this kid a little more.

Sima Guang was the most important rule, and on the first day, he bumped into Su Lu and ran over, and couldn't help but teach: "If you go out earlier, you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”

When Su Lu heard Sima Guang's serious tone, he suddenly thought of a word: Teaching Director!

"The situation is exceptional, the situation is exceptional." Su Lu said repeatedly, "Last night, I picked up the lamp and read at night, and I accidentally slept late, so I went out late today!" ”

Sima Guang didn't ask any more questions, and waved his hand to let Su Lu hurry in.

Su Lu ran into Zishan Hall, sat down, and whispered to Zhao Zhongli next to him: "The new gentleman is weird and serious." ”

Zhao Zhongjun stabbed him and told him to sit down and not squeak, Sima Guang had already come in!

Su Lu immediately sat down as a good baby.

Sima Guang glanced at Su Lu and introduced himself to the three students.

Hearing Sima Guang report his name, Su Lu's eyes widened.

Sima Cylinder!

Oh no, Sima Guang!

No wonder I felt that this big guy had a kind of dazzling teaching director brilliance just now, it turned out that he was the famous troll head of the Northern Song Dynasty, oh no, Sima Guang, the head of the counselor!

It is said that he was once a representative figure of the Northern Song Dynasty.

He has sprayed the emperor, the clan, his relatives, and the military attaché, and of course, he has not forgotten to spray the civil officials.

He held the law in his left hand and the ritual system in his right hand, relying on a pair of eyes that were good at discovering violations of laws and regulations to sweep the audience.

It is said that when he was in the Yuan, he also erected a monument to record who had the most books, and ranked them according to the number of times he impeached others!

Think about it, if you paddled under him, wouldn't it be embarrassing to come out in the rankings?

It is really the pioneer of the performance appraisal of the Academy!

Su Lu only felt weak, pitiful, and helpless at this time.

When Sima Guang continued Ouyang Xiu's class tradition and began to frequently ask him to answer questions, this feeling was especially strong!

He wants to go back to his hometown immediately, buy a big house, watch others feed the horses every day, chop wood, face the mountains, and the spring flowers bloom!

Su Lian's class is in dire straits, and his father Su Lian's side is not calm.

In the morning, Su Yan stuffed a stack of manuscripts, and Su Lian didn't care about it, so he took it to the Sansi Yamen at random, sat down for breakfast first, and then picked it up and slowly looked through it.

At a glance, Su Jian couldn't help but sit up straight.

Gang Movement Law!

What a program!

According to the comprador outline, it is extremely safe!

Such a detailed charter, such a comprehensive initiative, it is almost carried out!

When he turned to the salt-drying process left by Su Ran at the back, Su Jian stood up even more and hurriedly went to talk to Zhang Fangping.
