Today I coded a chapter on my mobile phone on the train, and it was so tiring. Everyone sees that Xiaoyou is working so hard, plus getting sick, give me some support. Kneel, woo woo

Xu Xianchun looked at Li Fumin, who left in a hurry, in surprise, and walked into the room, wanting to see what it was that made Li Fumin see a ghost.

I also saw so many materials suddenly appearing before, and I was puzzled for a while, but I didn't pay attention to anything, and there was a cloth covering it.

The cloth is no problem, although I have never seen what kind of material this is made of, it is softer and more comfortable than silk, and it is nothing.

As for the other agricultural hoes, it was nothing, Xu Xianchun walked inside.

Seeing the salt covered by Li Fumin at a glance, Xu Xianchun's eyes rolled, and he squatted down to untie the bag.

Looking at the torn bag of salt on it, it was as white as snow. Xu Xianchun is a fool, otherwise he would not have been reused by Wei Zhongxian. Although I already have an idea in my heart, I still don't dare to confirm it. Like Li Fumin, he gently dipped some salt in his mouth and swallowed the saliva that kept overflowing in his mouth.

"No wonder, no wonder".

Only then did Xu Xianchun understand why Li Fumin looked like a ghost, and put it on anyone, I am afraid that he would be like Li Fumin, and it may even be even more unbearable.

For this batch of salt, Xu Xianchun thought more than Li Fumin. Li Fumin may have been shocked by the purity of salt, but Xu Xianchun knew that if such a salt energy source continued, it could even stir up the entire Ming Dynasty. Whether you are a dignitary or a salt merchant, you will be involved, and even everyone will fall to the ground.

After such a long time, Xu Xianchun also knew what he was doing.

As for the things that are definitely going to enter the market, it doesn't matter what else is. But if this batch of salt enters the market, it will definitely be well received, but this is also a bad thing.

First, the original salt merchants will definitely be hit by this, and the salt merchants will inevitably fight back. Second, after hundreds of years of development, this group of salt merchants has long been integrated with the interests of some ministers in the court, and moving the salt merchants is equivalent to moving the cheese of some ministers in the court.

Without the protection of the ministers of the DPRK and China, how could the salt merchants dare to act like this.

According to the Ming Dynasty's "Gang Salt System": Merchants who hold salt quotes are divided into 10 classes according to the region, each gang salt quote is 200,000 yuan, and each gang is 300 catties of salt, or six coins and four cents of silver, which is called "woben", and three taels of silver are taxed, and three taels of silver are paid to the minister (transportation). The annual salt output was 600 million catties, and one catty was equivalent to 596 grams now, which was equivalent to 672 million catties now (according to official statistics in the Hongwu and Wanli periods, the population was still 60 million, the same as in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty).

The salt tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty court was: for every 6 taels of silver, 6 taels and 4 cents of silver, 13.28 million taels of silver should be obtained! But in fact, it was only 2.5 million taels of silver at most, and the salt tax was greatly lost. As for where the salt tax went, there is no need to say much.

This is not the most excessive, because Wei Zhongxian has been in power all these years, and Wei Zhongxian also knows who has money, so he got more than 1 million taels from the salt merchants, and this is still Wei Zhongxian's ruthless hand, and the ministers of the court and the central government let it out.

As for more? Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to persecute too much, if the fish died and the net was broken, he would definitely die a miserable death, and he was killed by the emperor. After all, compared with the ministers of the court, for the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will still make trade-offs.

Of course, what Xu Xianchun doesn't know? During Chongzhen's reign, because there was no eunuch confrontation, the ministers of the court and the central government turned Chongzhen's tricks, and the salt tax was only two or three hundred thousand a year, which still didn't want to make his food look too ugly, so that Chongzhen would save some face on his face.

Xu Xianchun has also seen a lot of these ministers over the years and knows their habits. Maybe your invective may make him indifferent, but if you move his interests, he will inevitably fight to the death.

Xu Xianchun also didn't understand why the emperor did this? Could it be that the emperor has the ability to solve this problem?

God sees mercy, Zhu Youxiao didn't expect so much, he just wanted to transfer more silver.

For Zhu Youxiao, salt is something that the people must use, and the profit should not be underestimated. If he knew that there was such a big stake, Zhu Youxiao swore that he would never do it, at least not when he was powerless.

Here Zhu Youxiao was greasy and crooked with Zhang Yan in Changchun Palace, and when he heard Wei Zhongxian say that Li Fumin came to find him again, he seemed to be in a hurry. couldn't help but wonder a little, I didn't know why Li Fumin was in such a hurry.

It stands to reason that he has already handed over the materials to him, and now he should be busy preparing for a round battle with Yang Jianhui's merchant alliance, could it be that there is something wrong with the goods.

"Let Li Fumin go to the Nuanchun Pavilion and wait", Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth with a hint of doubt and instructed Wei Zhongxian.

Then he looked at Zhang Yan apologetically.

"Zitong, I wanted to accompany you for a while longer......".

"Your Majesty, as the lord of the Ming Dynasty, all the people in the world are in one, and every move is related to the people of the whole world, so naturally you should focus on state affairs, and the concubine does not feel that Your Majesty is nostalgic for the harem."

Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Youxiao with a look of love on her face, and her eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

Really, Zhang Yan found that since the emperor woke up, he was like a different person, he didn't ask about political affairs before, and listened to the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian. Until now, he has gone to court every day and executed the Hakka family. I often come to my side, you know, I used to come once a month. If this is not satisfied, how can we be satisfied?

Zhu Youxiao ignored the palace maid's gaze and gently hugged Zhang Yan, and whispered in his ear.

"I have Zitong, I am very lucky".

After listening to Zhang Yan's words, Zhu Youxiao admired this queen who left a strong mark in history from the bottom of his heart.

"Li Fumin, why are you in such a hurry to find me."

Zhu Youxiao asked Li Fumin with a solemn face, although he also wanted to know the reason, but the identity of the emperor also made Zhu Youxiao unable to ask directly like ordinary people.

Emperor, you have to be a pair of things that I know, everything is under control.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are here for those supplies."

Li Fumin said in a low voice with a serious face.

(Because Li Fumin's young eunuch was removed by Zhu Youxiao, and there was no official identity.) So I can only call myself a grass people)

"Is it really a problem with the goods"?

Zhu Youxiao heard that what Li Fumin said was really the same as he thought, and couldn't help but answer himself in a low voice in his heart.

"What's wrong with that shipment?"

Zhu Youxiao also had a serious face, staring at Li Fumin with blazing eyes. At the same time, I was also secretly thinking in my heart, if there was really a problem with the goods, would I still be using Zhang Ling, Li Jianguo and others.

After all, this is the first time I have arranged things for them to do, if something goes wrong. What to do in the future, know that this is not a one-time thing.

"Your Majesty knows what kind of goods are there"?

Li Fumin did not answer Zhu Youxiao's question, but asked Zhu Youxiao instead.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time nodded to show that he knew, after all, the goods were arranged by himself.

Li Fumin was also stunned when he saw that Zhu Youxiao knew what was in the goods. Originally, according to Li Fumin's thoughts, the emperor should not know, otherwise he would not have released the salt.

"Your Majesty, do you know about the salt"?

Li Fumin asked further uneasily.

"It seems that the problem is with table salt."

Only then did Zhu Youxiao find out where the problem was, and at the same time, he was also wondering what the problem could be with salt.

After all, I have checked it, so even the packaging bag is specific, without leaving a trace of modern information, otherwise it is impossible to ship it over.

As for Wei Zhongxian, who was standing on the side, his pupils instantly contracted, and he thought of what Li Fumin wanted to say. Just as Wei Zhongxian thought, Li Fumin spoke up after Zhu Youxiao's inquiry.

"What's wrong with table salt"?

Since he didn't know the reason, Zhu Youxiao said directly, he didn't want to squeeze the toothpaste with Li Fumin little by little.

Li Fumin was entangled in whether to say it or not, and in the end, Li Fumin still said what he thought in his heart, after all, didn't he come for this matter.

"Your Majesty, when we sell salt, we will inevitably have a conflict with the salt merchants.........."

After Zhu Youxiao finished Li Fumin's words, he realized that he didn't know that he had done something that made Daming break his muscles and bones.

Zhu Youxiao had cold sweat on his forehead, and he gently turned his head to look at Wei Zhongxian.

And Wei Zhongxian nodded towards Zhu Youxiao quietly, and shook his head inexplicably.
