The salt merchants vomited blood in their hearts!

Phew~ Dig out your paralyzed heart, I want to poke your heart.

Although the salt merchants were indignant in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces, and they all smiled happily, as if they were really happy.

One of the leading salt merchants stepped forward, and this person's name was Zheng Sihai.

Zheng Sihai, Chongzhen repeated the name, inexplicably a little unhappy.

I~ It seems to be a literary prison, and these guys who dare to take rebellious names will all be imprisoned.

Zheng Sihai said excitedly, "Zheng Sihai, long live the emperor, the grass people are in the rivers and lakes, and today they finally see the sky, glory, glory!" ”

Chongzhen didn't smile, "Zheng Sihai, don't get excited, sit down first, I want to talk to you about my heart." ”

Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a slow sip of tea, and then picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it.

"Baiwei salt is the main, it is the importance of this salt, if there is no salt, the food will have no taste, you are my Ming heroes!

It's just that the salt is so ordinary and ordinary, and I have never paid attention to it, so I don't know your hard work, and I feel guilty!

Some time ago, I was assassinated, unfortunately I was exiled to the people, and I lost my memory, but fortunately I was rescued by a stove household, so I know about you. ”

Zheng Sihai gritted his teeth and secretly thought:

Which bastard is it, you actually dare to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, damn it~ Assassinate it, why haven't you succeeded in assassinating it?

And let His Majesty go to the people, and he was just rescued by the stove household, damn it~ actually let His Majesty target us.

Who doesn't know that the salt industry is a fat chicken, Your Majesty is a hungry wolf, the fat chicken is targeted by the hungry wolf, and it is strange if a piece of meat is not bitten off.

Chongzhen continued, "When I was living among the people, I found many problems.

First, the salt scales in the major salt farms are seriously aging, and the merchants say that salt is quite inconvenient.

Second, although salt is common, the transaction volume is very large, and the gold and silver are too heavy to trade.

Third, the tax law is not perfect, and there is no law to rely on.

In view of the above problems, I decided to recast the salt scale, and sent a special person to inspect and repair the salt scale, and resolutely ensure that the responsibility is to the person and the accuracy is to the centimeter.

Rebuild and promulgate the salt law, formulate a salt tax, and improve the loopholes in the salt law, so that you have a law to follow and a reason to follow.

I will also set up a salt tax department, and the government will directly send salt officials to help you manage your accounts, and professional people should do professional things.

In addition, I ordered Daming Qianzhuang to cooperate with you, and you will use silver tickets to do business in the future, which is convenient and safe.

I specially set up a large amount of silver tickets for you, even 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and you can really pocket millions in the future!

To put it mildly, my move is too partial, you must know that my Ming Dynasty has never issued such a large denomination of silver tickets!

I made an exception for you, but in order to avoid gossip from others, I won't allow you to exchange more, so ......

I only allow you to exchange one-tenth of the silver ticket of your family's property, and you can't exchange an extra cent of silver, do you think now? ”

Chongzhen didn't wait for these people to reply, and ordered someone to bring a piece of paper and read it in public.

"Zheng Sihai, 10 million taels of silver!"

"Zhang Wangjia, nine million taels of silver!"

"Shen Shizhen, five million taels of silver!"

……

The salt merchants were dumbfounded, His Majesty actually made their property read out in public, among which the big merchants were ten million taels, and the small merchants also had one million taels.

Wen Tiren was also dumbfounded.

Although he knew that the salt merchant was extremely rich, he never thought that the salt merchant would be so rich. It's tens of millions of taels of silver at every turn, it's too scary.

Chongzhen Zhengse said, "Today, I read out your family property in public, and the exchange of silver tickets in the future will be based on this, and you can't exchange more than a cent." ”

Groove~

The salt merchants led by Zheng Sihai couldn't wait to swallow Chongzhen in one bite, this emperor was really greedy for money and shameless, beyond imagination.

shamelessly figured out our family background, and forced us to exchange for silver tickets, bah~ Lao Tzu's real money and silver, just changed into a piece of paper so lightly, unwilling!

The most shameless thing is that you are a dog emperor and say it so high-sounding, as if we really took advantage of the country.

Although the salt merchants were depressed......

But His Majesty the Emperor does what he says, and what the Emperor says can never be changed, so who dares to refute him?

If they had done it before, they might have managed to kill the emperor.

But after the Cangzhou incident, how many salt merchants' heads did His Majesty the Emperor cut off? even uprooted the eyes and ears in the palace.

How dare Zheng Sihai and the others resist!

Zheng Sihai and the others hurriedly knelt down, shouting long live in their mouths, and their hearts were bleeding.

And His Majesty's salt law hasn't been promulgated yet, so who knows if he'll make something else disgusting?

Chongzhen is very satisfied with the performance of these people, uh~ Although it can be seen through the micro-expressions, these people are extremely dissatisfied.

But?

I just like to see you unhappy with me, but I can't help me, and I am grateful to me against my will.

Hehe~ In the past, salt merchants were rich enough to rival the country, but when the country perished, they were unwilling to take out a penny of silver.

Daming treats them well.

But what they repaid to Daming was tax evasion, and they would rather spend a lot of money to eat, drink and have fun on the banks of the Qinhuai River than pay a little more tax.

Not only did they not pay taxes, but these people also deliberately sold illicit salt, and sold serious official salt as illicit salt, making the national salt tax less and less.

Not only did I have to improve the salt method, but I also had to come up with an accounting system and implement a new bookkeeping model.

As for the fake scales you use?

Hehe~ I've changed them all!

After Chongzhen unilaterally discussed with these people, the minister headed by Wen Tiren added many matters one by one.

The sun is setting.

The salt merchants were fainting from hunger.

However, Chongzhen was not hungry, he ate a lot of pastries, Wen Tiren and the others were not hungry, as ministers, they had long been accustomed to Chongzhen's personality...... Meetings are always endless.

So these people have developed the bad habit of hiding bread in their sleeves.

Soon, the dinner party begins!

Although Chongzhen was dissatisfied with the salt merchants, he was not a stingy person, and the dinner was still very rich.

There are fish and meat, as well as some fried chicken, French fries, hamburgers, barbecue, spicy tang and other junk food in modern society.

It turns out......

The charm of this junk food is really great, no wonder children and adults love to eat it, because ...... It's delicious!

Zheng Sihai picked up the fried chicken on the plate, he imagined this fried chicken as Chongzhen, chewed it in a big gulp, and the one he ate was called a fragrant.

After this feast......

The salt merchants were still unwilling, and they went from place to place, bribing officials, intending to make them favor them when they set a salt tax.

It's a pity that these officials just don't give you the money, and they deliberately trick them.
