The reform of the salt administration is to let the people eat salt, and the effect is immediate.

Therefore, Yang Lin chose to implement it in Yangzhou, which is far away from the center, so that everyone can clearly know that this is Yang Shaozai's benevolent government.

Yang Lin sat in Yangzhou City, and carefully participated in the study, and arranged some details and implementation time with Yangzhou officials, and presided over the implementation of this major event from Yangzhou.

The local government offices can contract the salt wells in their jurisdiction, or they can sell them outright, and the public and private sectors can operate at the same time, competing with each other, so as not to form a monopoly.

Yang Lin was resolute, and no longer made money for the imperial court from the salt that the people of Shengdou couldn't leave every day, so that everyone's life would not be so dull and tasteless.

"The two Huai undertake to proclaim and observe, and are responsible for the Huaibei area; The prefect of Yangzhou, the general judge, went to Gaoyou, and was responsible for the outsourcing of six salt wells in the Huainan area. Dispatch vans to maintain law and order, verify the qualifications of each merchant, and issue business licenses. ”

"If there is any change, you must send someone to report it at any time!"

"The subordinate officer takes the order."

The officials in the hall got up at the same time, all with thick official documents and materials in their hands, and left the hall in groups of three or five while discussing.

After some intensive preparations, the salt policy, which had already been released, was officially implemented, and countless salt merchants and people in the Huaiyang area were looking forward to it.

In the government office, the flow of people dispersed, all the officials went out to be busy, and the room was silent, Yang Lin sat back in the chair, closed his eyes and carefully recalled today's events.

Since ancient times, salt has been too expensive, but in fact, the vast coastline made the Han Dynasty not lack salt land.

Nowadays, after all, limited by the times, materials are relatively scarce, and the seasoning used in cooking food is "salt" in the first place, so salt has always been known as the "king of all flavors".

Other seasonings can be lacking in cooking, but salt is essential, because salt is not only a requirement for the taste buds, but also a substance necessary for the normal functioning of the human body.

If people do not eat salt for a long time, they will have loss of appetite, weakness of limbs, dizziness and even more serious conditions, that is, people who have not eaten salt for a long time have basically lost their ability to work. Therefore, in this era, people can farm and weave for men, and produce almost all the necessities of life by themselves, except for salt, which cannot be produced, so they can only buy it.

In the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court implemented the policy of "salt and iron official camp", since then, only the government can sell salt, and the salt industry is monopolized by the government.

This practice has been consolidated for a long time because it is in the interests of the ruling class, and now it is time to break this rule itself.

In order for the people to have enough salt, this restriction must be relaxed, so that the technology of drying salt will also develop with each passing day, rather than being conservative.

The common people can consume enough salt, and it can also improve the physical fitness of the whole nation, and in the long run, the benefits are infinite, far from being comparable to those tax finances.

However, as soon as this case is opened, it is conceivable that it will be another bloody storm.

Since ancient times, reform has to shed blood, because the old system often fattened a large number of people, these people have been rich for generations, and their ancestors have benefited, so they are naturally unwilling to release these benefits.

He must hold on, and he must think about it well, if he is not careful, he will completely collapse, like Wang Mang, if he is too late, he may make people angry and resentful, and do bad things with good intentions, how dare he no longer weigh the three and weigh the axes.

He suddenly smelled a faint fragrance at the end of his nose, and then his shoulders loosened, and a pair of warm little hands were gently massaging him.

Yang Lin sniffed deeply, already knew who was coming, and asked with a smile: "Didn't Yue'er say that she would take you to visit the fat powder shop in the morning, why didn't you go out?" ”

Huang Xuanzhi smiled and said, "The idea of going shopping is still thought by others, let them go out, and people will say that they have a stomachache, so that they can be alone with their cousin." ”

Yang Lin smiled dumbly, dragged her to the front, sat on his lap, and scolded with a smile: "You have a lot of tricks, this is the lobby, how can you come here casually, see those killing sticks, be careful that the official lifts up your skirt and beats you board." ”

Huang Xuanzhi's black eyes rolled, his slender arms were stretched, his hands wrapped around Yang Lin's neck, and he said with a smile: "This board is bigger than other people's buttocks, cousin wants to be punished, is it good to use your hands." ”

This little girl is a big ghost, her eyes are full of waves, her expression is half shy and half happy, and she speaks very boldly.

The well-cut shirt skirt, with a white belt around the waist, strangles the small waist and makes it even more petite and exquisite, immature and cute.

Yang Lin was a little moved by this obsessive little girl, and at this time, a sound of footsteps came, Yang Lin quickly pressed her down and hid her under the table in the lobby.

Lu Qian ran in in a hurry, and saw Yang Lin hugging his fists and said: "Shaozai, Yuwen Xuzhong, the governor of Jiangnan and the governor of Jiangnan, sent someone to report, saying that he knew that Shaozai was going to implement a new salt policy in Huaiyang, so he crossed the river to come so that it could be spread in Jiangnan as soon as possible." ”

Yang Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and suddenly there was a coolness below him, and his expression was a little strange.

However, Yang Lin immediately adjusted, coughed lightly and said: "Shutong is the proud protégé of this official, and it is also excellent to help me staff after he comes." ”

Lu Qian took a few steps forward, Yang Lin's buttocks moved uneasily, his legs pressed on a small shoulder, and he pressed forward with his strength.

He reached under the table, as if he was scratching the itch of his thigh, and Lu Qian didn't care. In fact, he gently grabbed a handful of green silk and slowly wrapped it in his hand to control the direction.

Lu Qian stepped forward and said softly: "Shaozai, when Governor Yuwen arrives in Yangzhou, do we still need to go to Hangzhou?" If you save a stop in the south of the Yangtze River, you may be able to go directly to the sea and take a boat to Fuzhou. ”

Yang Lin squinted, thought deeply, nodded and said, "There is Shutong in Jiangnan, if I have anything to worry about, I will go directly to Fuzhou." Dali's Fang Qi Buddha came with the news, Jiaozhi has been prepared, to Fuzhou we will immediately Jiaozhi into the country, the trip will be half complete. ”

Lu Qian was also a little excited, and after recovering Jiaozhi, he was getting closer and closer to the last step.

From Long Zhigong, it seems that he is already waving to all the henchmen under Shaozai's command, and these people are even more excited than Yang Lin.

In fact, Yang Lin is now the hidden emperor, the power is in the hands of the cadres and the dictatorship, the Manchu civil and military are all dispatched, and they live more comfortably than the emperor.

He is so young that he is not in a hurry to become the emperor, what he is really anxious about is his henchmen.

At this point, if Yang Lin does not become emperor for a day, they will not be able to be peaceful for a day.

Once something happens to Yang Lin, even if he dies of illness, these henchmen will be liquidated.

Because Yang Lin does not yet have a qualified and mature heir, it is impossible for them to nominate a convincing person to control this huge power.

Once the new power group takes control of the government and replaces Yang Lin, most of his henchmen will die miserably.

Seeing Lu Qian standing there stupidly in front of him, his mind was not belonging, and he didn't know what to think, Yang Lin asked angrily, "Are you still okay?" ”

Lu Qian came back to his senses and said, "Shaozai, it's already noon, where are you going to eat today?" And you have been tickling, whether it has caused any insects, do you want your subordinates to take a look. We followed the old salt king to the north and south, and we knew a little bit about any poisonous insects. ”

Yang Lin's face was a little red, his tone was a little hurried, and he said, "No, what time is it?" The reform of the salt administration is so important, how can I have the heart to eat. Wait for a quarter of an hour, you can ask again, let me slow down. ”
