"The price of salt?"

Li Yifu frowned slightly, as if he understood something.

Xuanji said: "Merchants must be mercenary, and this will never change. Even if the court does not levy salt taxes, merchants must try their best to raise the price of salt to make up for their losses in other aspects, because the people cannot do without salt, but in this way, the lives of the people will become more difficult, and the people will think that this is the consequence of the new deal, and the people may not support the new deal at that time. ”

Li Yifu took a small breath of cold air when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What the Taoist chief said is extremely true, I don't know if there is a solution for the chief?" ”

Xuanji Dao said: "In the view of the poor road, these goods that are closely related to the people, if they fall into the hands of merchants, it will be a great harm to the country and the people, such as salt, which the people can't do without, should be controlled by the imperial court, because only the imperial court can reasonably distribute and set reasonable prices, so that the treasury can be full, and the people can live a stable life." ”

Li Yifu frowned and said, "But my dynasty has never advocated that the court do business with the people. ”

"I also know this poor way, but at this time and that time, now my Tang Dynasty territory is vast and modern, and the national strength is growing by leaps and bounds, and the imperial court also needs stronger control to manage the huge country well."

Xuanji Dao Chang said and said: "And now there is an opportunity to let the imperial court take over the salt trade as a matter of course, and win the support of the people." ”

"What chance?" Li Yifu asked.

Xuanji said: "The imperial court levies commercial taxes, and the interests of merchants will naturally be cut a lot, so in order to reduce expenditures, businessmen will definitely ignore the people and dismiss their employees who have followed them loyally for many years, but there are many people in Chang'an and Luoyang who come to the merchants' workshops to do things. ”

Who is Li Yifu?

An extremely selfish villain.

How could he possibly think of employees who might be laid off.

Li Yifu was still a little stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't react, if you are laid off, you will find something to do by yourself, who let you follow the businessman, you deserve it!

"Ouch! I really didn't think about that. ”

Li Yifu frowned very hypocritically.

"Li Zhongshu, this is not a trivial matter, Chang'an is the land of the capital, if Chang'an City is full of displaced people, this is definitely not a good thing for the policy just promulgated by the imperial court!"

Xuanji Dao Leader reminded.

Yes! That's a problem. Li Yifu hurriedly said: "I don't know if there is a solution?" ”

"Isn't this solution already said?" Xuanji Daoist said with a smile: "If the imperial court is engaged in the trading of salt, iron, etc., then it must hire people, and won't it be able to bring a livelihood to these people." Moreover, the imperial court does not need to promulgate laws and monopolize these, because the imperial court does not need to pay taxes, and merchants are naturally not opponents of the imperial court, so it will naturally become a monopoly of the imperial court and hold these important resources in their hands. ”

Yes! How did I forget about it. Li Yifu's eyes flickered a few times, what he was thinking about was not the distribution of wealth, but once nationalized, there would be more oil and water in it, where would he still need to sell his official beard!

When the Taoist Master Xuanji looked at Li Yifu's eyes, he also knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but think to himself, with your virtue, you are only worthy of lifting shoes for my proprietor.

"Thank you for the chief, thank you for the minister."

Li Yifu bowed his hand to Daoist Xuanji again and again, and then raised his glass and said, "Daoist, you can always drink this glass of wine now." ”

The Xuanji Daoist nodded with a smile and raised his glass.

————————

Yangzhou, Meicun.

"How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, this group of bastards, deceiving me is not there, just using such indiscriminate tricks, Lao Tzu and them-ah-ah!"

"Husband!"

"Han Ye."

Yuan Peony hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Yi, who had almost fainted, helped him to the chair, and said with concern: "Husband, how are you?" ”

Han Yi covered his face with his hand and was silent for a while before he said with a hint of choking: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Yang Zhanfei on the side said: "Han Yi, the matter has come to this, don't be too excited, don't be angry." "There is a slight grievance in my heart, and now I am the one who needs comfort!

Han Yizai put down his hand and nodded, but he still had a heartbroken expression.

Yuan Peony said: "Husband, this matter is not simple, something must happen in the court." ”

Yang Zhanfei also nodded.

Han Yi snorted coldly and said, "What can happen?" These are all done by the ministers out of jealousy. Business policy, they don't know how to play, so they want to play back to the one they are good at, so that they can show the burden in their hearts, you must know that this policy is not Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu came up with it, Xu Yushi, Lu Chengqing, Liu Xiangdao, Wei Siqian are all involved, but Lao Tzu didn't expect these bastards, usually they are Taoist individuals, but they are so selfish in their bones, they actually stabbed Lao Tzu in the back, and Lao Tzu was not finished with them. ”

Yang Zhanfei hurriedly said: "Then you can go to the court and ask the court to take back your fate." ”

Han Yi said: "I am a civilian, and I am still keeping filial piety at home, what can I do, besides, what can I change by myself, unless I go back to see Your Majesty, maybe there will be a little turnaround." ”

Speaking of the back, his eyes were a little moist, and he couldn't help pinching his eyes.

Yuan Peony said: "Is there no other way?" ”

Han Yi sighed: "If I am here, of course there is a way, I can kill all those rogue landlords, but the premise is that I have the power in my hands." ”

Yang Zhanfei sighed and said, "Originally, those villagers made a fuss, but our Yangzhou and Luzhou not only did not get hurt, but benefited from it, because many businessmen came to our Yangzhou and Luzhou. But now that the imperial court levies such a high commercial tax, Chang'an's goods can't be sold, and Luzhou's goods can't be sold. ”

Now he can't take care of Chang'an, because the situation in Yangzhou is even worse, there is no goods exchange, what kind of trade, there is no north-south trade, the value of this transit station is naturally greatly reduced, the problem is that he also fooled the businessmen to invest so much money, the government also took out a lot of money, once the middle of the trade, Yangzhou merchants will break the city, think about it is very terrible.

Han Yi frowned, sat up, and said, "This Yangzhou is my hometown, and the people of Yangzhou do not hesitate to stand up in order to support my policy, and I can't leave them alone." ”

Yang Zhanfei nodded again and again: "That's right, we have to think of a way to let Yangzhou tide over this difficulty." ”

Han Yi lowered his eyebrows and thought about it.

Yang Zhanfei didn't dare to say anything, he was also very nervous about this matter, he also had a lot of feelings for Yangzhou, and he didn't want everything he had worked so hard to build to be ruined.

After a while, Han Yi suddenly looked at Yang Zhanfei and said, "I have a way, but it's a bit risky, I don't know if you dare to do it?" ”

Yang Zhanfei said: "You talk about it first." ”

Han Yi said: "Smuggling." ”

Yang Zhanfei was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Smuggling? ”

Yuan Peony also looked at Han Yi in shock.

Han Yi nodded and said: "Yes, the tariffs of the imperial court are levied at the starting point, this is because many wealthy businessmen are in Chang'an, and if they are levied at the starting point, they can fill the treasury and save a lot of trouble, in the same way, Yangzhou and Luzhou are the same." If there is the support of the Yangzhou government, then you can easily avoid this tariff, as long as the goods are tax-free out of Yangzhou, then you can easily sell them anywhere, and similarly, we can also smuggle goods from other states and counties to Yangzhou, so that Yangzhou and Luzhou can not only get through this pass, but also become richer. ”

Yang Zhanfei said: "But-but you also said it, this is illegal?" You're pushing me into the fire pit! ”

Han Yi said: "The risks and benefits are compatible. ”

Yang Zhanfei said: "Then will you let your people smuggle?" ”

"No, it won't." Han Yi shook his head.

"Then you're embarrassed to say it." Yang Zhanfei was about to scold his mother in his heart.

Han Yi said: "First of all, I can make money by paying taxes on my goods, and secondly, if I don't pay taxes, then your accounts will be too ugly." ”

Yang Zhanfei said: "But I'm an official, if I don't get the reputation of my Yang family, it will also be affected, you know that my father values the reputation of our Yang family the most." Also, also, do you think Li Yifu will not send people to Yangzhou? ”

Han Yi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstand what I mean, I didn't let you smuggle it personally, I just secretly encouraged and supported it." This person goes to a high place, the water flows to a low place, once the tariff is levied, then smuggling will become very profitable, there must be countless people involved in it, with smuggling merchants, then the Luzhou workshop will not go out of business, and Yangzhou is a market, as long as we open one eye, close one eye, all the smuggling team will be concentrated in Yangzhou, then the goods are also concentrated in Yangzhou, Yangzhou people will become the happiest people in the world, which will also bring great wealth to Yangzhou.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if those smugglers are caught, what does it have to do with us, and we don't let them go, this person is good for money to die, and birds die for food, it is human nature, besides, our court does not have any smuggling laws, and we can redeem people with a little money. ”

Although Yang Zhanfei understands the truth, he is still very empty, he was born in a famous family, and he has always followed the rules, so he went to secretly support the smuggling of businessmen and build Yangzhou into a smuggling base camp, which is also an exaggeration, but he didn't want to see Yangzhou collapse, and said: "Are you ——— sure this can work?" ”

Han Yi nodded and said: "What is he Li Yifu, what are those hooligan landlords, when Lao Tzu was playing with money, they were still farming, I can help you work out a detailed smuggling process, as well as tax evasion methods, and keep it from the world." ”

In terms of other things, Han Yi is all imaginary, but smuggling, making fake accounts, and money laundering, Han Yi is definitely at the professional level, and when he uses it in the Tang Dynasty, he uses a knife to kill chickens.

Yuan Peony couldn't believe that Han Yi would come up with such a solution, and said, "But this is risky, can we afford it?" ”

Han Yi said: "We can't do it, but for the sake of the people of Yangzhou, I think it's worth a try." ”

When Yang Zhanfei heard this, he muttered in his heart, it seems that there is only this way at present, you don't want to change the policy of the imperial court, but this tariff will make Yangzhou's previous efforts in vain, that is only smuggling, and as long as the government does not participate, then he will be derelict at most, and immediately said: "Okay, I will also let it go, so let's do it." ”

Han Yi sighed.

Yang Zhanfei wondered again: "I have already agreed, why are you still sighing?" ”

Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Even if I can keep Yangzhou, but so what." The policies I established in Chang'an may all be ruined. Those hooligan landlords, wait for it, don't let me go back if you have the ability, if I go back, I must let them know why the flowers are so red. ”

Yang Zhanfei can understand Han Yi's mood very well, because he is also reluctant to do everything about the establishment of his Yangzhou.
