Although Emperor Shunzhi has worked a little hard for the situation in the south in recent years, he has been accompanied by Concubine Dong E, and he has eliminated Dolgon, and he has made a lot of money. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Life has been passable in the past few years.

Shunzhi was still a little ambitious at this time, and he was still thinking about eradicating Zheng Haikou and Daxi thieves and unifying China.

In the imperial study of the Forbidden City, Shunzhi looked at the pieces related to the salt tax spread out on the wide rosewood tabletop, and his face became more and more ugly.

Ten years after Shunzhi, the salt tax, which has always been the largest tax revenue, has been sharply reduced. From three million taels a year, it fell to less than 800,000 a year.

When Shunzhi found out from the account books that the imperial salt tax had not been collected, it was natural to check the accounts to see if there were officials who were corrupt and corrupt.

Several times urged the officials of the household department to investigate thoroughly, and for a time, many officials in the upper and lower household departments of the Manchu Dynasty were forced to complain by Shunzhi's toss.

Those officials who received the merchants and filial piety and the officials from all walks of life, when the official hat was threatened, they soon couldn't stand it anymore, and they didn't dare to continue to make a fortune in a silent silence.

Soon there was a squire in the household who couldn't stand it first, and no matter how good the silver was, it couldn't compare to the temptation of the heavy official hat after all.

Of course, he will not be angry and make things clear.

These officials who have been mixed up in Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty are not good at other skills, and there is one skill that must be cultivated to the top, that is, to find an excuse to shirk responsibility.

The sharp reduction of the salt tax in his book was not a problem of the household department, but because the private salt was sold too hard, and the official salt of the imperial court could not be sold at all!

This is the problem of the Criminal Department, and the officials of the Criminal Department should be allowed to crack down on those illegal salts, so that the official salt of the imperial court can be sold, and then the salt tax can be restored.

A person from the household department wrote the book, and the other officials of the household department immediately waved their flags and followed up one after another.

Soon, the overwhelming number of bullets flew into the Forbidden City and piled up on the desk of Emperor Shunzhi.

The shirking of responsibility of the household department made those officials of the criminal department pour blood mold. A large number of officials, including Shangshu of the Criminal Department, have taken off the flower bells on their tops.

These officials of the criminal department were forced to be anxious, and they also used Tai Chi to push the responsibility outward.

An official of the Criminal Department wrote a book, and the official salt of the imperial court could not be sold because the quality was too poor.

The official of the criminal department also attached a sample of official salt and private salt, the official salt is a small particle salt made by the traditional boiling salt method, the color is turbid, the size of the crystals is different, and various impurities are mixed, which is already considered good, at least not deliberately mixed with sand.

Private salt was developed by the students of Gewu College after two years, and at least one round of filtration and recrystallization treatment.

There is a world of difference between official salt and private salt just by looking at their appearance, and you can clearly feel the bitter taste of the former after a little taste. What's worse - the price of the latter in the market is more than half lower than the former!

With such a huge difference in quality and price, it is only natural that official salt is completely at a disadvantage in the competition.

The root cause of this situation is the inaction of officials in the Ministry of Industry.

Your Majesty, if you want to fundamentally solve this problem, you must severely punish the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Works, which thought it was none of its business, suddenly found that it was the one who carried the black pot for others, and suddenly became angry.

You girl, the private salt is sold happily, and the one in your household department and the criminal department is not soft.

The officials of the Ministry of Labor have nothing to do with those salt merchants, they have never even seen a hammer, and now they have to bear the black pot for your bastards, which is unbearable!

The officials of the Ministry of Industry have also written a book, the salt production method has not changed from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, why it will not be sharply reduced before, and now it is sharply reduced, the fundamental reason is because private salt is rampant, and official salt cannot be sold.

When it comes to selling smuggled salt, the most popular and ruthless in the world is undoubtedly the Nanyang imported products.

As long as imported goods from the South Seas are banned, the salt tax can be collected.

Your Majesty, if you want to ban illegal salt, you must first ban imported products from the South Seas!

The individuals who were able to climb to this position were by no means fools. It is easy to ask them to give them guidance and talk about it, but if you really want them to take some responsibility, it will be extremely difficult.

For a time, in order to keep their black hats, officials from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry tried their best to shirk their responsibilities.

Under their mutual tussle, the Manchu court quarreled all day long.

When he saw that his subordinates would be arguing and shirking their responsibilities, and that none of the officials could make practical and effective decisions, Emperor Shunzhi became very angry and almost sent an edict on the spot to send all the officials who quarreled in the audience to prison.

However, after angrily picking up the imperial pen, he stopped suddenly.

Although Emperor Shunzhi was still young and vigorous, he was not a fool or stupid.

If you really want to send all these people to prison, who will do the work.

Emperor Shunzhi was angry and issued an order to the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice was strictly ordered to crack down on the illicit salt sold in Nanyang, ordered the household department to inspect the salt works and collect salt taxes, and officials of the Ministry of Industry organized personnel to develop a new salt production law.

After Emperor Shunzhi issued an order, the Manchu court stopped quarrelling.

The officials of the Criminal Department worked hard to carry out the orders of Emperor Shunzhi for their wool hats.

Even Shangshu of the Criminal Department personally went out and led officials to crack down on imported goods from Nanyang and smuggling in Shandong all day long.

However, from ancient times to the present, there have been policies and countermeasures at the top.

Aren't you going to ban the illegal salt in the South Seas?

Well, those private merchants immediately came up with a name for Oriental imports.

Aren't you going to crack down on smuggling in Shandong?

Those private businessmen directly bribed Tianjin officials and went ashore directly from the Tianjin wharf.

Here, Emperor Shunzhi saw that the officials of the Criminal Department were still very good, and issued orders to reward them one after another.

The benefits of filial piety for private businessmen over there, the officials of the Criminal Department should still accept it.

Both ends are flattering, in addition to running every day, the officials of the Criminal Department continue to live comfortably.

The officials of the household department saw that the officials of the criminal department were rewarded by the Shunzhi Emperor, and they were deeply afraid that the Shunzhi emperor would reproach them for the inaction of the household department.

For those private businessmen who had given heavy gifts, as well as the Zheng family who sold illicit salt, those civil officials in the imperial court did not dare to provoke.

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and if you offend your God of Wealth, wouldn't you cut off your own way to wealth?

Besides, be a man and leave a line, so I will see you in the future!

Now the Zheng family's statue of someone is looking at someone, maybe one day people will hit Jingshi, so it is better to leave some leeway and not provoke him.

The household department did not dare and did not want to deal with private salt, so they all aimed at official salt.

The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs ordered the Salt Envoy Department and the Salt Department to pay the outstanding salt tax.

The official salt is unsalable, and the amount of salt arrears is huge.

In order to overcome the deep crisis, we can only continue to raise the price of salt and step up the looting.

The salt tax was sufficient for a while, but as a result, private salt became more popular and sold well due to the high price of official salt.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were even simpler, one of them directly bought a book on the creation of heavenly works, and then copied it down on the salt making method and submitted it.

As for how to implement the new salt production law and who to appoint to be the inspector of the salt imperial history, that is the matter that the history department and the household department should worry about. (To be continued.) )
