Guangguang, who had just been promoted to a transfer envoy, immediately invited his master to take a bath!

The brand-new pine tub is infused with hot spring hot water, and the pine fragrance lingers and soaks into the heart and spleen, making people extremely ironed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The light leans against the edge of the basin and immerses the whole body in the water, leaving only the nostrils outside.

After a long time, the dead skin on his body softened, and when he rubbed his hands, large pieces fell, and Guangguang even felt that he had lost a lot of weight all of a sudden.

Suddenly remembering something, he proudly raised his feet and showed off to Wang Ning'an opposite.

"Five floors, five miles!"

Wang Ningan also soaked his body in water, the pores of his body opened, and the comfortable taste was intoxicating.

"How's the takeaway from this trip?"

"The world has been turned upside down, reborn!" Guangguang was excited with pride.

"Do you want to go?"

In a word, Guangguang's face fell suddenly, and after hesitating for a long time, he still decided to tell the truth.

"The disciple is ashamed."

Wang Ningan said twice, "What is there to be ashamed of, Wei Zheng said that those who have a good beginning are really complicated, and those who can overcome the end are widowed." People are like this, and the reason why you are asked to do this is not that I am too lazy to suffer! ”

In a word, Sima Guang almost spurted blood, my husband, you also know that it was a crime!

Wang Ningan is very calm, if he accepts apprentices, he is working for himself, it is difficult to get mixed up with his status, and he has to bow down to everything, which is too much of a failure.

"Junshi, do you think this matter will end?"

"No!"

Sima Guang said very firmly: "Sir, if the price of salt continues to fall, the salt merchants in the northwest will not be able to stand it, and the families who usually deal in private salt will not be able to stand it, and the disciples think that they should always think about how to deal with it." ”

"Well, that's true, what can you do?"

Sima Guang scratched his head, very reluctant, but he had to admit that Wang Ningan had already prescribed a prescription!

"Sir, the people of the Northwest have been bitter for a long time! As long as you sincerely do things for them, you can get the support of all the people, and when the time comes, the salt merchants don't have to take it seriously at all...... It's not easy to get the support of the people, and you have to do it yourself and work hard. Guangguang's voice became smaller and smaller, and his stomach was full of sighs.

Wang Ningan is the best teacher, he gave Guangguang the supreme magic method of doing things, and he is the kind without reservation.

But he's a bastard too!

The son of a dignified family, the rising star of tomorrow, and the future ruler, actually have to keep his voice down and deal with ordinary people, let alone Sima Guang, even if any scholar is unwilling to lower his noble head.

It's also a coincidence that Guangguang has suffered the biggest setback in his life, and he is at a low point, he needs to save his career and prove himself!

The defeat of Qu Yehe almost shattered all of Guangguang's dreams, and he had to send an envoy to Western Xia, and he had to work hard to complete the task.

Looking back now, if he hadn't been in a desperate situation, he wouldn't have done such a dangerous and lowly thing!

"If you don't want to work, you have to find someone to do it for you!"

Wang Ningan smiled and said: "Junshi, you have been busy these days, have you found a few available talents?" ”

Guangguang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, there are a few junior officials, they are old and serious, and they are very good at doing things, but they don't have merit and fame, and they can't be promoted, if they ......" Guangguang looked up at the master.

"You go and draw up a list and give it to Wen Yanbo, then the old guy will know how to deal with it!" Wang Ningan said casually, and Guangguang's heart was beating again.

Sure enough, Master, this guy is insidious enough, he must have teamed up with Wen Yanbo, otherwise that shameless old man wouldn't have stopped like this!

It's no wonder that Master dares to do things that others don't dare to do, and he hides too many hole cards.

Thinking of this, Guangguang suddenly sat up from the basin, looking a little anxious.

"Master, disciple, disciple wants to go to ......"

Wang Ningan raised his eyebrows, "Want to go see Pang Xianggong?" ”

Guangguang nodded, and said boldly: "After all, he is a disciple Shibo, and he has received so many favors from him, and the disciple doesn't want to watch him hit a stone with an egg." ”

"It's rare, you are affectionate and righteous, go ahead, tell Pang Xianggong, don't be a god to those beasts, otherwise it will only harm yourself and ruin the clarity of the first life."

……

Guangguang came out of the bath and went straight to Pang Ji's mansion, the expected trouble did not appear, and he successfully met Pang Ji.

At this moment, Pang Ji was dressed in a Taoist robe, loose and fat, the old man frowned, looking preoccupied, and after seeing Sima Guang, he actually smiled...... This smile turned into rain, and both of them knew it, and the previous misunderstanding Pang Ji did not mention it, and Guangguang did not mention it.

Pang Ji just asked about the hard work and how the errand was done, and Guangguang answered truthfully.

"Shibo, the people eat high-quality salt all year round, there is half a catty of sand in a catty of salt, the little nephew saw it with his own eyes, and he didn't dare to believe it. Those salt merchants are too fat, and they should spit out some too. ”

Pang Ji nodded, "Having said that, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, too many officials are implicated by them, and some people are deceived by them, if it makes trouble, it may not be a blessing for the court." ”

"What Shi Bo said is extremely true, but they have become a cancer and must be removed, not only the little nephew sees it this way, but His Majesty also thinks so, the will of heaven is like this, how can manpower fight?"

Pang Ji became confused, yes, Tiandu is on the other side, what else can he do?

Although Lao Pang is very involved in the family in the northwest, he is an honest and honest official, and his family does not intervene in business. In the past, I had to resist because of the situation.

Seeing that things are getting bigger and bigger, Pang Ji has long regretted it, and being able to get out safely is a blessing in misfortune!

"Junshi, since Your Majesty believes in you and uses you, you must be loyal to Your Majesty, send Jun Yaoshun, and relieve the people from hanging upside down. Now that Western Xia is rampant, although the peace negotiation is successful, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more waves, and the old man still has to go to supervise the soldiers to fight, you have to do it yourself in case of trouble......"

Pang Ji chose to retreat bravely, and Sima Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

As a politician, Guangguang is much more qualified than Wang Ningan.

persuaded Pang to withdraw, on the surface, they were friends of the two families, Guangguang was unwilling to be an enemy of his old uncle, but in fact, Guangguang also thought very thoroughly, the salt merchants of the wealthy families in the northwest were originally a strong force, just them, it was enough for a headache, he didn't like to make too many enemies.

Pang Ji will enter the phase, that is also a ruthless stubble, with the support of his old man, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

Now that Pang has withdrawn, the situation is much better.

Come on, let the horses come!

After Sima Guang took over as Qin Fenglu's transfer envoy, he immediately added four judges, all of whom were originally from small officials, but because of their meritorious work in promoting the exchange of grain and salt with Guangguang, they were suddenly overpromoted and became official officials.

From an official to an official, it can be said that it is a step to the sky!

These four people are even more desperate than the original light.

Thanks to their efforts, all the people of Qinfeng Road can exchange grain for green salt, and even the most remote villages have people who carry green salt to trade.

In a short period of time, it is equivalent to re-establishing a set of salt sales system.

The originally detached salt merchant was suddenly embarrassed.

The common people recognized them as profiteers, and would rather carry grain for dozens of miles than go to them to buy salt.

Many salt merchants, for two whole months, did not sell a grain of salt!

There is no income, but you still have to pay rent, pay wages, and the taste of sitting on a mountain is so uncomfortable that it almost drives people crazy.

At first, everyone thought that the imperial court was just a gust of wind, but for so many years, the number of times to rectify the salt administration has been less, which time has it worked?

It's just that over time, these people gradually realize that this time it wasn't the player's.

Those high-ranking officials run to the mud-legged house every day, and 2 catties of grain are exchanged for 1 catty of green salt, which is absolutely unambiguous. If it goes on like this, I am afraid that the imperial court will stop doing it, and the salt price in the entire northwest will not rise.

What's even worse is the Western Xia side!

It turned out that there was no market for the green salt in Western Xia, so it could only be handed over to the wealthy families in the northwest and let them help resell it.

Speaking of which, the Xixia side suffered hardships and hardships, can there be no resentment?

In the past, there was no way but to endure it, but this time there is no need to be afraid, the official trade of the Eight Classics, just transport the salt, although the price is relatively low in the Song Dynasty, but the Xixia people are quite satisfied, after all, the cost of their mining is lower, and the profit is much more than the previous smuggling.

In this way, the green salt of Western Xia was like a flood, which could not be stopped at all, and it was surging.

Not to mention others, just without hiding the false Pang sold to the Great Song Dynasty for 500,000 stones, and the other tribes did not know how much they sold, and the result was that the entire Qinfeng Road, Yongxing Military Road, including Jingnan Road, Gyeonggi Road, and even Hebei West Road, the price of salt in various places is falling rapidly.

The price of salt in the capital has dropped to less than 30 wen, and in other places it has fallen below 25 wen.

The price of salt has fallen sharply, and many officials have assumed that the salt tax will be reduced accordingly.

It's just that to everyone's surprise, the salt tax is only a very small point less, almost flat.

The reason is very simple, the price of salt has come down, and there was originally a profit from selling illegal salt, but now the profit is gone, and you have to take the risk of losing your head, no one is a fool, private salt has been greatly reduced, official salt shipments have increased, and the natural salt tax has maintained a balance.

Another important point is that Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road are relying on the green salt of Western Xia to lower the price of salt, while in other places, it is the Changlu Salt Farm that is exerting its strength!

The original idea of salt was to add a source of wealth to Youzhou and quickly restore the vitality of Youzhou.

Now Youzhou's shipments have increased significantly, and the whole situation is rapidly improving.

Many people who have experienced the battle of copper prices have smelled a strong Wang style at this moment.

It's still a familiar recipe, it's still a familiar taste!

It seems that Wang Ningan is ready to attack salt again, it depends on whether he can fight those salt merchants...... Since entering June, it suddenly seems that the salt shops in Luoyang City have closed their doors together, and the people are dumbfounded, even if they want to buy it, they can't buy it.

If you start from Qinfeng Road, we will start from Xijing and come to save Zhao from Wei!

The news quickly reached Zhao Zhen's ears, and His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and only said one sentence, "They are bullying the king!" ”
