Chapter 635: Unstoppable
The incident of Juxian College spread throughout Jingdong East Road, and scholars from all over the country were mixed.
The reform of the school system has brought the form of examination back to people's field of vision, and the dialogue about Ju County that day has been passed down into countless versions, saying everything.
For a while, everyone in Da Song Shilin was very nervous, for fear that it would be as rumored, and they would start to test all kinds of strange techniques.
The Qincha boat turned from the canal, Yangzhou was in front of him, and Yang Lin was very happy when he returned here.
Walking on the bow of the boat, looking into the distance, under the bright sunshine of early summer, the river is leisurely, sparkling, green grass and red flowers on both banks, a piece of vitality.
On the ferry in the distance, there were a sea of people, Yang Lin said with a smile: "Cai Jing and I were here to greet Tong Guan, this guy is tall and big, with a burly body, not like an ordinary eunuch." ”
Lu Qian said with a smile: "Tong Guan old thief does have some visions, but his heart is not right, no matter how burly he looks, he is also a vicious eunuch. ”
Yang Lin laughed and didn't answer, the three boats slowly stopped by the river, put down the pedals, and Yang Lin hurriedly went to the embankment.
The surrounding guards hurriedly stepped forward to protect him, and there were too many people at the ferry.
This situation is not common, but since the incident in Juxian, Huaiyin and Yangzhou have followed suit, and they are anxious to rush to Yang Lin, ready to put forward some political opinions, and they can also rise to the top like Fan Zongyin.
Officialdom is too big, how to set up a chair, how to pour a glass of wine, how to respect a cup of tea can imply a great meaning, where will there be such a scene today, shoulder to shoulder, people crowding people.
Yang Lin made a look, and Lu Qian and the others directly pulled out their knives, stood on both sides, and protected a road.
Although the streets of Yangzhou are also prosperous, they still cannot be compared with Bianliang, Luoyang and other places.
Now is not the most prosperous time in Yangzhou, because of Cai Jing's new policy, the salt merchants in Lianghuai are miserable and their families are ruined.
Cai Jing's reform of the salt law is the most widely circulated of all his political initiatives. In later generations, the Ming and Qing dynasties continued to use it, because his salt policy greatly increased the income of the imperial court.
However, the end of the imperial court's monopoly on salt tea is to make the people suffer deeply, and many people in remote places are hard to find a grain of salt.
Moreover, the official salt, because there is no competition, is often mixed with more than half of the sand.
Yangzhou's Qin Dispatch was located in Yang Lin's mansion, and after returning here, all the subordinates came up and welcomed their young master happily.
When he returned to his residence, Yang Lin was in a very comfortable mood and asked people to prepare hot water and clothes. Xu Yuenu stepped forward with a smile and asked, "This is where you lived before, it's pretty good." ”
No matter how rich the Yang family is, of course, it is not as good as the big smuggler Xujiazhuang, but Huang Xuanzhi and Lingyun are very satisfied, and they can't be idle at all.
Yang Lin strolled to the study, and there were miscellaneous books on it.
The original Jing Shi Ziyi, but he didn't know where to throw it, and he couldn't help but smile when he thought of it.
After turning out a piece of ink, and after grinding it gently, he picked up the pen and wrote another letter to Cai Jing.
The introduction of multiple examinations and the selection of scholars has in fact shaken the selection system that has been in place for thousands of years.
This kind of scientific examination has changed from the selection of officials to the selection of officials, and the streamlining of officials has been carried out to the extreme.
Through this new deal, Yang Lin also learned that this officialdom ecology has matured to the point that it can no longer be mature.
Sometimes if you want to take it step by step, you can't do it, you have to cut through the mess quickly and do it in one step.
Again using strong force to suppress the backlash of these vested interests, everyone has supported this policy in the past few years.
Thinking of this, Yang Lin chuckled, now that he is standing in this position, he has to make a great change that has not been seen in a thousand years.
The general trend is in me, and those who follow me are righteous, and those who oppose me are hindering the general trend, and it is not a pity to die, no matter what his purpose is.
The importance of this change is actually related to the future development of the nation, whether it can be sublimated from this system that has matured to the point that it can no longer be matured. On top of the world, lead the way for another millennium.
In comparison, mercy, justice, good and evil are insignificant.
Qin Shi Huang killed many people, built the Abang Palace, extravagantly indulgent, burned books and pit Confucianism, he is also an emperor through the ages, worthy of praise for all generations.
What I'm most afraid of now is that if something happens to me, then it will definitely be a death and a political disappointment, and there is no second possibility.
The old forces need to be suppressed by themselves until a new order is formed, with its own guards and supporters.
When I was thinking about it, the letter was also written, and I don't know if Cai Jing can understand what he meant.
"Lu Qian."
The guards outside pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Shaozai, Marquis Lu Yu has gone to rest, and now he is on duty under his subordinates." ”
Yang Lin nodded and said, "You send someone to the post station, hand over this letter to Cai Jing, the secretary of culture and education in Bianliang, and go to the Yangzhou government office, so that the prefect can summon officials from Yangzhou above the fifth grade to come here to see me." ”
After the guards went out, Yang Lin commanded a few maids, lifted small stools, and lined them up neatly in the courtyard.
After a while, the senior officials of Yangzhou came to visit happily, and when they saw the small chairs in the courtyard, they were stunned in place.
Until Yang Lin came out, he said with a smile: "Gentlemen, take your seats." ”
The officials laughed and laughed and arranged their seats according to their qualifications, and after they sat down one by one, Yang Lin said: "I called you here today, not for anything else, but for Huaiyang Yanyu." ”
This is really half a sentence of nonsense, Shaozai is resolute, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation.
Huaiyang Yangrong is the top priority of the local area, because Cai Jing's reform has made the Huaiyang area complain, and the prosperity has plummeted.
At that time, in order to get Zhao Ji's favor, he amassed a lot of money for the imperial court, and made the local government miserable.
Moreover, the rulers of all dynasties in the future have seen the power of this trick to collect money, and they have all learned the same, and since then it has been a big problem for ordinary people of the Han people to eat salt.
Yang Lin asked himself that he didn't need such a means of accumulating money to increase the financial revenue of the imperial court, so he intended to completely eliminate this move.
Abolishing salt and salt introduction, allowing the people to operate on their own, and letting the market take advantage of the good and eliminate the inferior, can not only allow the people to buy cheap salt, but also increase the tax revenue of the local government.
Because Yang Lin first controlled the central government of the imperial court, and then came to the local government to implement the new policy, the pressure on the central government was very small. Even if someone disagreed, they did not dare to contradict Yang Lin's decree.
Therefore, this seemingly difficult measure is actually very easy to complete, and the most feared thing is that after the complete liberalization, during this period of the free market, a bad atmosphere will be formed or there will be a situation in which giants monopolize the salt industry and sit on the ground to raise prices.
Therefore, Yang Lin intends to restrict the development of salt wells, not allow one person to occupy too many salt factories, and not allow cross-regional household registration to mine and dry salt.
In this way, you can completely eradicate the local smuggler of salt, because you can do the salt business openly, and who wants to sneak around.
The Yangzhou officials present were all excited by Yang Lin's words, and they didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
The imperial court finally stopped oppressing the locality, and once the salt was abolished, it began to be privately operated, just like ceramics, grain, and cloth, so the local government did not know how much more tax would have to be charged.
More importantly, in this way, countless salt dealers will become good citizens and serious merchants.
The pressure on local security in Jingsui has also plummeted, and there is no need to worry about being wiped out by the vicious salt dealers at any time, and they can do business openly, who is willing to lick the blood with a knife.
