"Then the Yang thieves are so rebellious, why can't the Lord forget him?"

Xue Zhen said as if she was broken.

If that's the case, I'll play a fart in the future!

In fact, they have to say that there is no way to reform the salt law, after all, the nine thousand years old still have to use the eunuch party to manage, and there are no eunuchs or eunuchs to manage these salt-producing areas, and in the end they all have to reap benefits......

Then it's nothing.

At most, it's just a part of these people.

As long as all the people who manage the salt-producing areas are pulled into the water, they will continue to smuggle in the end, and then let the emperor increase the salt tax, which can basically be fooled. In the final analysis, whether the emperor is 9,000 years old, it is impossible to know how much salt the Ming Dynasty will sell in a year, and the official annual estimate is only more than 2 million yuan. However, in fact, the demand from the private sector is probably more than ten times, but the real amount is due to the rampant smuggling in the past, and there is no specific figure to check at all.

So just let the emperor increase the salt tax by two or three achievements.

Illicit salt continues to be sold.

There is plenty of room for private salt.

But......

Let Yang Xin's people be responsible for checking the smuggled salt, so how can they play?

The salt pond in the east of the river is enclosed by the city wall, a forbidden wall with a total circumference of more than 100 miles, and the entire salt pond in Jiezhou is encircled, as long as you really want to ban private salt, a thousand cavalry patrols the city wall, but anyone who does not go through those city gates is private salt.

Whoever walks through the gates pays his taxes.

If the investigation is tight, it can be said that there will not be a single smuggling of smuggled salt.

Who bought the Yang family?

Everyone knows that Yang Xin's subordinates are fanatical believers, as long as Yang Xin strictly orders that he will not accept bribes, and these people's homes must be in Yang Xin's place, people are living a good life, and there is no need to ruin their good life for a little money. What's more, there are still people supervising them at the age of 9,000, and the civil officials are also staring at them, and it is difficult to buy such people, so as soon as the salt law is reformed in the future, it will be difficult to flow private salt from the east of the river.

At most, the price will be increased to those who eat salt.

But Yang Xin's salt method is that anyone can go over and sell salt!

In the past, it was salt induction.

There is no need to use salt at all in the future.

Whoever wants to sell salt goes to the salt farm, and as long as he pays taxes honestly, he can sell it, and the result is an influx of small merchants, who will lower the price of salt, and eventually these big officials and businessmen will not be able to increase the price.

They are parasitic on the old system, and when the old system is gone, of course, the good days will end.

It's not that they can't make money anymore.

But they have to face the competition in the market and survive in the market by virtue of their ability, instead of relying on political privileges as in the past, it can be said that they are lying down and collecting money, and such a good life is gone, but ......

"In the long run, the country will not be a country!"

Huo Weihua sighed bitterly.

At this time, most of the people left, leaving him, Xue Zhen, and Feng Quan.

This is the Feng family.

"Now the matter is clear, that is, Your Majesty can no longer get silver from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

And Fujian and Guangdong, he can't reach it.

Moreover, Fujian and Guangdong, including Jiangxi Huguang, have been doing their own group exercises over the years, and they are not soft persimmons, next to Yang Rei, and they are afraid that they will be forced to fall to Yang Rei, and they dare not be like in the past. Last year, Huguang stopped giving the three kings Kuotian by dealing with Yang Rebellion, and His Majesty also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and before he also strictly ordered Huguang to be 30,000 hectares for each of the three kings, and now the most Gui kings have only included 6,000 hectares in total, and the remaining two kings are less than 5,000, and the governor of Huguang said that there is nothing to enclose.

Your Majesty also endured.

In the final analysis, Your Majesty will not dare to offend these southerners who have begun to learn to pick up knives, so you can only make money from us northerners.

What a clear zhang!

What a salt law reform!

In the final analysis, I didn't dare to cut the meat of the south, but watched us northerners bully!

This won't work!

The child who can scream has milk to eat, and we have to learn to scream! ”

Feng Quan said hatefully.

In the past, they were indeed happy to unite under the banner of the 9,000-year-old eunuchs, but that was because Yang Xin continued to loot wealth from the south again and again, and then most of this wealth passed through the 9,000-year-old and fell into the hands of the eunuchs. Whether it was formal procurement, or simply greedy for ink, in the end it was these eunuchs who got it, which is why the Donglin Party in the north gradually disappeared, because Yang Xin was taking money from the pockets of southerners and sending it to the north.

It is true that the northern gentry did not like Yang Xin, but they did not dislike Yang Xin's hand.

But now?

This hand is gone!

Not again and again to take money from the pockets of the southerners and give them them!

On the contrary, the apocalypse, who was short of money, began to target their pockets, and after being frightened by the southern group practice, the apocalypse did not dare to provoke the southern gentry, and began to feel that they were soft persimmons......

In fact, it is.

After all, Tianqi has an army in his hands, and this army really can't beat Yang Xin, but it is still very easy to clean up the northern gentry, Cao Wenzhao's younger brother Cao Wenyao is stationed in the outer city, and his nephew Cao Bianjiao is inseparable from the nine thousand years old with three hundred war veterans. Apocalypse also has a 3,000-strong youth guard regiment stationed in the Imperial City, and there will never be less than 300 around him, and the police system mastered by 9,000 years old can also mobilize a brigade of infantry at any time. Mangui's 20,000 troops were stationed in Jizhen and Shanhaiguan, Lu Xiangsheng led the main force of the Beijing camp to be stationed in Xuzhou, and Sun Chuanting's Liaodong Army was stationed outside the pass.

The northern gentry were completely controlled.

In this case, the apocalypse naturally had enough confidence to attack the northern gentry.

After raising it for so many years, even the pigs have been fattened.

The vast majority of the silver that has been scattered over the years has fallen into the pockets of the northern gentry, and now when the emperor needs money, who will he do if he doesn't attack them?

"This faint king!"

Xue Zhen said hatefully.

Feng Quan and Huo Weihua did not speak.

The atmosphere was depressing.

"The king of faith is becoming more and more virtuous."

Huo Weihua cautiously broke the silence.

"But Your Majesty has a crown prince, not to mention that Your Majesty is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention that Yang Xin is still in the south."

Feng Quan said.

Of course, he understood what Huo Weihua meant.

But the first day of the apocalypse is not easy to deal with, the emperor's personal guards are all from the young guard group, these half-grown children do not have contact with outsiders at all, and they are in the military camp of the imperial city every day, and they only go out of the military camp to protect the apocalypse when they are on duty. Even the vast majority of these people don't even understand official language, they only listen to those captains who understand official language, and the captains only listen to nine thousand years old, and any special operation against the apocalypse will all pass them first.

Second, the apocalypse has sons.

Even if the apocalypse is dead, it is the crown prince who succeeds Zhang Yan to take power, but Zhang Yan has had an affair with Yang Xin before.

This woman may not be obedient.

Third, and most importantly, if Apocalypse is killed, how will Yang Xin react.

If the apocalypse is killed here, and his army goes north over there, it will be a lot of fun, if this is the case, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely not resist, and even Sun Chuanting will support Yang Xin. These are all loyal servants of the Apocalypse, they are all reused by the Apocalypse, if the Apocalypse dies in a coup d'état, they will definitely avenge the Apocalypse, then the northern gentry will also be completely finished.

If you want to say that you work hard, you can indeed do the apocalypse.

But the consequences are unbearable!

"What if Your Majesty dies normally?"

Huo Weihua said.

"The crown prince succeeds to the throne!"

Feng Quan said.

"But it doesn't seem difficult for a child of what age to die of illness, right?"

Huo Weihua said.

It is indeed not difficult, Tianqi has actually given birth to four sons so far, but two of them died young, one died of illness, and the other died before the full moon, leaving the prince under the protection of almost exaggerated, but he has lived to be more than three years old now, and the other is not yet a year old, that is, born to the concubine Ren who was nine thousand years old.

also relied on the almost exaggerated protection of the Yang Family Hospital.

The infant mortality rate in the palace is still very high.

"But Yang Xin is not stupid!"

Feng Quan said.

"It depends on what he wants.

He wants to plot the dynasty and usurp the throne, then let's drag everyone into the water and simply fight with him again, as long as His Majesty dies normally, he wants to use this matter to go north, that is to rebel, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting will not allow it.

Everyone knows that at this time, he will definitely learn from Zhao Kuangyin after entering Beijing.

Lu Xiangsheng will swear to block it instead.

In the name of loyalty, we call on the world to attack it, and promise to the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to return everything after defeating Yang Xin, in short, as long as His Majesty dies normally, we support the crown prince to succeed to the throne, and Yang Xin is the public enemy of the world. Let's find a way to get this battle fought, and if we can win it in the end, then we will completely solve this bane, continue to fight if we can't win it, and we won't be afraid to smash the entire south to pieces. Last time, we didn't necessarily really lose to him, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to engage in a gentleman's war, if he directly ordered all the armies of all parties to go into battle to fight a decisive battle, or even transfer all the armies of Sichuan, Yunnan, Fujian and Guangdong to the battlefield.

That doesn't necessarily mean you lose.

Lu Xiangsheng played like a joke.

is also limited to the battlefield, is this to learn from Song Xianggong? Fighting a war is life and death, what kind of war is the total number of people who die, and what about millions of deaths? What about washing the blood of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Just win.

Let's have a real bloody battle with Yang Xin.

Isn't he afraid of the dead? Didn't he want to be a saint? At that time, looking at him, it was said that Jin Zhijun was right back then, and he would have to pass three knives for this kind of rebellion against the party! Let's continue to transfer people from the northwest and from Mongolia, and tell them that when they get to Jiangnan, the silver women will take whatever they want, and if they can't do it, they will accept the Jiannu and return to obedience, and then send them to the battlefield as well.

The soldiers were reluctant to fight Yang Xin?

There is no benefit to be gained, of course they don't want to!

But I don't believe they are allowed to slaughter the city, they still don't want to fight!

They're afraid they'll scream!

I don't believe it, there are soldiers who are indifferent to the temptation of slaughtering the city, not to mention the new army of the imperial court, that is, those guards soldiers, as long as they are allowed to slaughter the city, I dare to say that they are immediately brave, after all, the last time Lu Xiangsheng was defeated, not because of how good Yang Xin could fight, but because he was too stupid and didn't know how to fight!

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng misled the country! ”

Huo Weihua said with a sad face.
