On the Golden Luang Palace.

Jinling Mansion Yin, Chu Tianxiu played a "Salt and Iron Monopoly" sparsely. The salt and iron of the world were collected and sold by the imperial court.

The court was shocked.

"Your Majesty, by all means! Xiao Duhou is robbing the people's wealth, bringing disaster to the country and the people, this is going to chaos in the world!"

As soon as this policy came out, the people were struggling to make a living, every household on the southeast coast lost their livelihood, thieves were everywhere, and the world was in chaos! The first of this calamity must be the little faint marquis. ”

"It's over, take advantage of the people, this Da Chu is going to be finished! Your Majesty, please behead the little faint marquis to thank the world!"

There were many opponents, and many ministers scolded on the spot.

"Minister, Xu Chou, risk death to admonish. Xiao Duanhou brought disaster to the country and the people, which is the cause of my great Chu, and all the countermeasures he came up with are all actions that bring disaster to the country and the people. Minister, I implore the emperor to think twice, close to the virtuous minister, far away from the traitor! Ministers are loyal and virtuous ministers!"

Xu Chou worshipped in the hall, weeping bitterly.

In addition to the princes and kings who were tinkering with salt and iron, many wealthy families also participated in the salt and iron trade.

These ministers, many families, eat the bowl of salt and iron.

The huge interests in this are almost equivalent to the finances of the entire Great Chu Imperial Court.

As you can imagine, the benefits are huge.

With such a large amount of income, the court gave a pot and left, and the court could only sell salt and iron. Where can they give up their meat when they cut meat?!

Who doesn't vehemently disagree!?

Prime Minister Kong Hanyou, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, as if it was none of his business, and was surprisingly silent.

He had a clear mind.

Without the emperor's support behind the scenes, how could Xiao Duhou suddenly go on this book and poke this hornet's nest?

Moreover, the imperial court's finances are indeed very embarrassed.

There is a shortage of silver everywhere, and a large amount of silver is urgently needed.

Without a strong fiscal force, it will be impossible to continue to push forward with the various New Deal reforms.

Without the New Deal reforms, does the emperor still need him as a new prime minister?

It's better to let Xie Huyong, the old prime minister, continue to be the prime minister. Xie Huyong stepped down because he obstructed the New Deal.

Therefore, he, the prime minister, categorically cannot prevent the New Deal and the emperor from accumulating wealth...... In that case, turn a blind eye and let the little dusk do it.

No one can stop the emperor, and naturally no one can stop the little dusk...... Unless...... Unless the lord of the world is replaced.

Anyway, this matter has little to do with him Kong Hanyou, and it has little to do with Confucian officials. Most of the Confucian officials were small families, and they could not participate in such a big business as salt and iron.

Imperial Doctor Wang Su was also silent.

The monopoly of salt and iron, which is quite a significant loss to the gate valve nobles.

In addition to the princes and kings, I am afraid that it is the gate lord and noble, and he has the most salt pans and iron mines in his hands.

However, you can't stop the emperor's will!

Never mind.

Let the princes of the Xiang family, who are rich and powerful, go and fight with the emperor.

If the princes and kings won, the emperor will naturally not be able to implement the salt and iron monopoly.

The lords and nobles in Jinling City, there are no soldiers or generals in their hands, less than a few hundred families, so let's keep a low profile and don't be this bird.

Who wins, who supports.

These words, of course, cannot be said. But things can only be done that way.

Emperor Xiang Yanran sat coldly on the throne of the Jinluan Palace, watching the ministers stand up and fiercely oppose it.

However, it can be regarded as Prime Minister Kong Hanyou and Imperial Historian Wang Su, and the two three princes are more knowledgeable and have no objections.

Taiwei Li Rong naturally would not object.

The rest of the Jiuqing just said something innocuous and insignificant.

Only the officials below jumped hard.

"Xu Chou, loyalty is commendable, this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only you risk death to admonish!

The imperial court is in need of talent like you.

I, I promoted you to be the overseer of the imperial history of Shuofang County, and to inspect the frontier.

Let the Huns also see that my civil and military ministers are all loyal and brave, and they are not afraid of sacrifice.

Come and send Lord Xu to leave on the same day. ”

Emperor Xiang Yanran was full of emotion and approving.

Xu Chou was stunned.

Is he elevated?

Why is it the kind of ghost place in Shuofang County where birds don't poop, go there and eat wind and sand every day!

There were also fierce Hun soldiers, who often harassed the frontier.

"Ah, no, the minister didn't mean that...... Your Majesty, the minister wants to stay by your side and be loyal, don't go to the frontier~!"

"Retreat!"

……

Wu.

The capital of the country, inside the palace.

The imperial court has just made a decision and issued a decree.

Wu Wang Xiang Bi had already received the secret report of the latest movements of the imperial court from Jinling City, and he couldn't help but jump like thunder in anger, and smashed the table of the Eight Immortals with one palm.

"I cut copper coins, and I want to ban salt and iron, this is riding on the necks of our princes and! Emperor, Emperor, do you really think I dare not rebel against you!"

Xiang Bi's face was full of flesh, his fierce face was revealed, and his expression was extremely hideous.

He Wu is located by the sea, and the salt industry is a huge profit, accounting for a huge tax harvest. Coupled with the iron industry, it accounted for a small half of Wu's taxes.

Banning salt and iron, which is categorically unbearable.

Coupled with the previous ban on copper, most of Wu's taxes will be gone. In the land of Wu, how can you raise tens of thousands of elite soldiers?

The income of the Great Chu court skyrocketed, and the army was definitely stronger and more difficult to deal with.

In the long run, the princes and kings will surely decline, and watch the power of the imperial court continue to grow and annex the vassal states.

"Father, the time is ripe!

Salt and iron order, if you don't rebel, you will die, and the princes of the world will rebel!

I, the Kingdom of Wu, rose up and became the head of the princes of the world. Overthrew the tyranny of the dog emperor Xiang Yanran and killed the crown prince Xiang Tiange.

His father ascended the throne as emperor and restored the rule of the world. ”

Xiang Xian said coldly.

On that day, the Qinhuai River smoke and rain building, the prince Xiang Tiange hit his lower body with a sword, and he couldn't be humane ever since.

Now, the time has come.

Kill!

reversed the Great Chu world, and replaced his father and son on the throne!

"This little dumb marquis who has been cut by a thousand knives! If he didn't come forward to instigate it, who would dare to come up with a policy of banning the private minting of copper coins and banning salt and iron~?!

At the beginning, the king and the princes agreed together that the cup would be the number, and on the day when the head of the little dusk marquis Xiang was taken, the kings would rebel together.

If you don't kill the little faint marquis, you don't understand the hatred in my heart!

According to the king's order, the assassins of my Wu Kingdom in Jinling City immediately started to assassinate Xiao Duhou, take his head, and sacrifice the flag! Do the right thing for heaven!

After getting the head of the little dusk marquis, the king immediately issued an edict, and the princes of the world discussed the traitors in the court and the Qing monarch. ”

Xiang Bi's eyes showed a cold light and said angrily.

"Yes, Father. The Jinling Assassins had been planning for months, and I immediately ordered the Assassins to hurry up. “

Xiang Xian arched his hand.

Soon, a flying pigeon flew out of Huiji City and went straight to Jinling City. The secret letter of this flying pigeon is different from the past.

In the past, he was just secretly preparing to find out the layout and troops in Jinling City, and he was not in a hurry to do it.

The princes and kings themselves were not ready to raise troops, so of course they could not act hastily.

But this time, it was the assassination that was ordered.

Get started!

Kill the little dusk marquis, smash the cup as a number, and the princes of the world rebelled together.
