As time went on, the drawbacks began to emerge. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the two years that Lei Xing was in power in Tianjin Prefecture alone, he had personally seen the salt merchants, salt officials, and salt envoys headed by the Zhang family, and had already formed a kind of person with a special status of "officials and businessmen", who obtained huge monopoly profits by virtue of the monopoly privilege of salt transportation and marketing. Among them, through the Zhang family, salt merchants privately donated officials, and so on.

According to what Lei Xing knew, less than half of the tax money paid to the imperial court salt tax was paid for these profits, and there were many debts, delays, inability to pay in full, and so on.

At the beginning of Emperor Rongjing's succession to the throne, the former Ten Princes are now Prince Gong and are in charge of the affairs of the three treasury of the Ministry of Households, and during the period of the original Kang Qian, there was a clean up of the treasury deficit with the ten princes, but because of the benevolence of the Kang Qiandi and the old ministers, he could not bear to force each other, and the matter of cleaning up the treasury deficit was not implemented.

Now in power, this matter has been brought up first, and ordered to recover the money, grain, and taxes owed to the court by the deficit in various places, and the officials who disobeyed the order to lose money and grain will be dismissed from their posts and recover the stolen goods.

Today, many court discussions on the rebellion in Qinghai and Tibet have not been carried out due to the lack of the national treasury. This must also be the purpose of today's efforts to push this matter.

The treasury of the dynasty is empty, but the corrupt officials and officials below are extremely wealthy, and it will be even more difficult to let them spit out what they have eaten. It is because of the resistance encountered in the recovery of arrears in various places.

Since ancient times, the salt tax has been the main source of tax revenue for the imperial court, and now he is using a small matter as big as a sesame mung bean like Zhang Xun to set off a corner of this big profit, which is also a temptation.

If Emperor Rong Jing has planned and decided to make decisions on this matter, then he will be on the table, and now he can take advantage of the situation and pay the tax and silver owed by the salt tax.

In Lei Xing's opinion, this is the fastest way for the imperial court to collect money.

The interests of the salt merchants seem to be in collusion with the officials, but they do not shake the fundamentals. If you pour this salt merchant, why is it difficult to find another company to run the salt industry? Dead friends don't die poor, and there will be some officials who will cut off their tails to survive.

But this salt industry has been an important government affairs since ancient times, and it is widely implicated, and the interests of all aspects are entangled, and Lei Xing can't be sure of Emperor Rongjing's considerations, but as long as he goes up with this fold, he can always leave some impressions in front of Emperor Rongjing.

Lei Xing sorted out the collected information, thought carefully for a long time, and finally wrote with a candle, and the music folded in one go, sealed properly, and he could write to the court as soon as possible.

After carefully scrutinizing for a long time, he wrote a letter to his original boss, fellow villager Zuodu Yushi Cai Ruzhong, and the book was sealed, and it was expected to be sent together tomorrow.

Lei Xing was busy all day before going back to bed in the inner room.

......

Zhang Xun took his henchmen to follow Daniel Zhang and took a carriage back to the one-acre garden. Today, I just ate wine and exchanged feelings with salt merchants and officials, and the involvement behind this is not on the surface.

Zhang Xun's father and brother all started from the martial arts, and their ancestors were also the military attachés of the previous dynasty, and their own knowledge was not good, and those who knew it were also, listening to it made people doze off. The eldest brother Zhang Tan often followed his father out to socialize and take over his father's network.

But he was very interested in business, and at the age of 15, his father and brother slowly let themselves participate in the family industry and business. Not only my father and brother, but I also didn't expect that in business, I had a bit of talent, not to mention small things, only the accounts, a little through, looking at the account book, more skilled than the old account room.

Zhang Xun sat in the carriage, as if he was asleep, happy today, this wine was really a bit too much. Thinking in my heart, I took over more and more business in my family, covering a wider range of things, and now the wood plant from Jingshi to Tianjin, the salt industry in Tianjin, these family lifeblood industries, my father and brother have gradually begun to let themselves get involved.

It's just that since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass, and they have some special preferences in this woman, and they like to collect all kinds of beauties, otherwise they wouldn't have robbed those two women directly today, the daughter of the village, and then spend some effort to make some silver to end this matter, so that the father and brother will know, and they will be punished and scolded.

In a daze, it seemed that I heard someone outside shouting loudly, "Young master, something is wrong!" ”

It's really an unfortunate person, shouting, I just arrived in Tianjin today, what can I do.

After hearing about the return of the people to the house, those drunken people immediately dispersed, and they were stunned and said, "How could something happen?" ”

......

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Yuzhi and Cai Mao went to the Zhizhou Mansion again to formally thank and say goodbye to Lei Xing, and the two prepared to return to the capital.

Lei Xing also received the two warmly, and after a conversation, the two said goodbye to Lei Xing and left the mansion.

Lin Yuzhi met Zeng Dahai and others again, yesterday their brothers also stayed in Tianjin Prefecture for one night, and today they are also preparing to return to Wuqing County.

"Lin Gongzi, thank you Gongzi for coming to Tianjin in person for this incident, and the little sister was saved from the poisonous hands of that thief, Lin Gongzi is kind-hearted, and the villain is unforgettable, but driven by it!" Zeng Dahai stepped forward again and said.

Lin Yuzhi hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Alas, your power has been exposed in front of Lei Zhizhou this time, Lei Zhizhou will not let you go anymore, what are your plans now?" Do you accept Lei Zhizhou's recruitment? You also have to have a plan in mind. ”

Lin Yuzhi still has to know his thoughts, he has been busy for so long, and no matter how much people give them away for nothing, this deal is a bit not cost-effective! Hehe.

"Back to Young Master Lin, yesterday I was also in a hurry to lose all the rules, and Master Zhizhou also asked the little one to go to the government today." Zeng Dahai immediately replied, thought about it, and then continued: "Then Master Zhizhou is not very good at recruiting us!" We are just fighting small people together, and we can't get into the eyes of Lord Zhizhou. If you put the words here, even if you know that the state lord wants to recruit peace, we should only stop being pirates, and hand over all the silver we have accumulated, except for those that have already been given to the people, to the imperial court, and we will no longer do this pirate trade! ”

Now that I've figured it out, pirates can't do it anymore.

As he spoke, he bowed again, "Young Master Lin, the little ones will follow you in the future, if you let us go to sea, we will go to sea, let us farm, we will go to farm, but it is up to Young Master Lin to arrange." Then he scratched his head and laughed.

Lin Yuzhi also smiled and said, "I don't know how difficult it is, you must know that it is not easy to be a pirate after this incident, although it is easy to negotiate business and make money, but if there is an accident, or the court investigates it, where can it be considered a long-term plan?" In the future, we will do a decent big deal, legally form a caravan, go to the East, and earn those old hairy people's silver! In the future, he may go to farther seas, can Brother Zeng be confident? ”
