=====================================================================
The rise of a country and a nation is, first of all, a change in concept, and the root of all changes lies in the concept, and the change of concept is the cornerstone of the rise.
When the ordinary otaku crossed over and became the fourteenth son of Emperor Kangxi, Aixinjue Luo Yinzhen, the Qing Dynasty began to change subtly.
In order to compete for the throne, Yinzhen made a strong move, so strong that Kangxi and a group of princes and ministers loved and hated him, but they couldn't stop.
The princes hated him to the core, and they tried their best, but they could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood, and they had to force a smile in the face of him.
The collision of the Nine Dragons, the collision of yang conspiracy and conspiracy, yin and yang, and the complementarity of virtual and real, are the right way.

=====================================================================Seeing Shi Shilun's troubles, Zhenwu couldn't help but laugh secretly, how could I not know the reason why the Hui merchants in Yangzhou were rich? The two Huai salt farms first enriched the Jin merchants of Shanxi, and then the Hui merchants of Huizhou, he had already had the intention to knock off the salt merchants, but there has been no good excuse, this drought is a good opportunity, the salt merchants are not legitimate businessmen, knocking them off, will not cause panic, will only make people applaud.
For the current use of the Gang Salt Method, Zhenwu has long intended to innovate, but before the innovation, they must be allowed to spit out a little silver, and after the innovation, it will be unjustifiable to attack them.
Tianjin's Changlu Salt Farm is not only the largest salt field in the north, but also the salt field that pioneered the sun-drying salt method, the salt output is not inferior to the salt field of Lianghuai, although there is no rich Yangzhou, but it is not much different, but if they want to donate millions of taels of silver, a group of salt merchants are afraid that they will go bankrupt, in that case, it will cause panic among all salt merchants, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses.
Seeing that Zhenwu was silent, Shi Shilun couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, if Zhenwu deliberately wanted to loot millions of taels from the salt merchants in Tianjin, it would be tantamount to a disaster for Tianjin, but as the governor of Zhili, Zhenwu meant that he wanted him to participate in the knocking, but it was not good to persuade him again, so he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Pengxi slightly, hoping that he could help speak.
Zhang Pengxi lowered his head and thought about Zhenwu's intentions, and didn't notice Shi Shilun's eyes asking for help, in recent years, the income of the imperial court has increased year by year, which can be called wealth, Zhenwu's internal budget is estimated to be more than 30 million taels, and disaster relief is effortless at all, why does he want to donate to salt merchants? And the amount is still so huge, do you have an idea about the salt policy?
Thinking of this, his heart jumped, although the salt administration has drawbacks, it is inextricably linked with local officials, it can be said that local officials at all levels are using the salt administration for personal gain, even if they want to move, they can't move at this time.
After a little muttering, he spoke: "Your Majesty, the salt merchant is the world's industry, in fact, it is no longer a pure businessman, but a half-official and half-businessman who has always had major disasters or wars, and the salt merchants are all enthusiastic to donate, although the salt merchants in Tianjin and Yangzhou are rich, but they donate millions of taels at a time, for fear of hurting the emperor's sage, and Weichen prays to the emperor to think twice." ”
Fu Ning'an also followed closely: "Your Majesty, the reason why the salt merchants are rich is due to the salt politics of the imperial court, and serving the imperial court is the righteousness of the decades, but the salt merchants are indispensable in disasters and wars, therefore, the salt merchants' donations have also formed a fixed fall. In addition, the servants were also worried that the salt merchants would raise the price of salt to blame the people, which might hurt the emperor's love for the people. ..., Wang Xiangling also guessed that Zhenwu had the idea of reforming the salt administration, and also said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the positive endowment, the salt tax is the largest income of the imperial court, and the annual tax amount is more than four million taels. ”
Listening to the words of the three people, Shi Shilun couldn't help but secretly rejoice, he was very happy to knock off the salt merchants, but he couldn't overdo it, after all, the salt industry is one of the main economic sources of Tianjin, if the waves are fishing, Tianjin's prosperity will be affected.
Seeing that the three of them were unanimously opposed, Zhenwu took a sip of tea from the teacup, and after a little hesitation, he said slowly: "The reason why the salt merchants are so rich is that it is not only beneficial to the salt administration, but also thanks to illegal acts, you have all served as local officials, you think about it, and also help me calculate this account, how many generations does it take for the salt merchants who follow the rules to be so rich?" If they didn't carry private salt, they could be so rich? Illegal gains, donations are a matter of course, and if it is hard to give up good money, I don't mind checking their family background. ”
Zhang Pengxi's four expressions changed when they heard this, Zhenwu said this is not bad, all large and small salt merchants privately entrained, and even a thousand officials led to private salt and 10,000, but the profits were privately divided with local officials at all levels, if Zhenwu really let the criminal department investigate thoroughly, the entire officialdom would be shaken.
Zhenwu glanced at the four of them, and then said: "I am not exhausted for fishing, and the salt merchants in Tianjin donated 1.2 million taels, and the salt merchants in Yangzhou donated 2 million taels. After a slight pause, he said: "The imperial court is actually not short of money, why should the salt merchants donate?" This move was intended to promote the culture of merchants, and now that commerce and trade are prosperous and the number of wealthy merchants is increasing, the imperial court must deliberately guide them to be benevolent, provide famine relief, pave roads and build bridges, subsidize poverty, and improve people's livelihood.
Like the Jin merchants, the silver was buried in the cellar, and the Hui merchants built gardens on a large scale, which was extremely luxurious, and had no benefit to the imperial court, nor did it benefit the people at all, which was not conducive to the circulation of silver money, nor was it conducive to promoting the development of commerce, but caused the hatred of the people, and they were the first to suffer when the situation came.
The salt merchant has a special identity and must play an exemplary role, Shi Shilun is responsible for the persuasion of Tianjin, Lang Tingji, the governor of Liangjiang, and Wan Yan Haifeng, the governor of Suzhou, are responsible for the persuasion of Yangzhou. ”
Listening to Zhenwu's words, it was clear that the salt merchants' donations contained such a meaning, Zhang Pengxi and several people couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, advocating charity is also a great merit, although the amount of donations is still a bit large, it's a big deal to use the guise of Zhenwu's enthronement and change the yuan, these excuses, they don't need to be taught to know.
Shi Shilun also breathed a sigh of relief, Tianjin salt merchants donated 1.2 million taels, although the amount is a little larger, but it will not be too difficult, at least it will not let the salt merchants hurt their muscles and bones, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The emperor is far-reaching, advocating the royal road, sympathetic to the people, Weichen respects the decree, even if there is an iron rooster, Weichen will also pluck off a few hairs from him." ”
Listening to his nondescript recital, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile slightly, thought slightly, and then smiled, and said: "The name, place of origin, and donation of salt merchants who have lost more than 50,000 taels are published in the Beijing newspaper, and those who have lost more than 10,000 taels of other merchants will also be poured according to this, and they will not be allowed to pay in vain, and I will give them fame." ”
Speaking of this, he immediately thought of the advertisement of the Beijing Daily, which was a good opportunity, so he immediately continued: "All those who have physical entities, such as pharmacies, restaurants, tea houses, garment shops, silver trumpets, goldware shops, silk weaving workshops, etc., are allowed to replace their names with trade names in the Beijing Newspaper, but the number of donations must be more than 20,000 taels, and all donation firms can be published in a conspicuous position in the supplement of the Beijing Daily for several consecutive days or months according to the number of donations.
Here I donated 1 million taels for Si Si Heng, 600,000 taels for the Qing Ocean Trade Fleet, 200,000 taels for the Shanghai Sand Boat Association, and 200,000 taels for Guangzhou Wanlilong Tea Company. ..., several people listened to it, and only these four brands lost two million taels! What's even more strange to them is that they all know the first three brands, but where did Guangzhou Wanlilong Tea Store come from? I've never heard of it, and I also lost 200,000 yuan, which is thirteen lines?
Zhang Pengxi is good at the way of economy, and served as the secretary of the transfer department, and immediately heard the magic of Zhenwu this in the Beijing newspaper to publish the business name, the Beijing newspaper is published nationwide, in the Beijing newspaper to publish the business name, the name, is tantamount to the entire Qing Dynasty to play a signboard, some powerful chambers of commerce, the business will definitely flock to it, this disaster relief, the court may not spend a big son, this master, but really make money! These four firms are purely throwing bricks and stones, and the price has been set invisibly.
After a little hesitation, he bowed down and said: "The emperor turned stones into gold, which is really the best in ancient and modern times, and it is an eye-opener for the ministers, not only the drought and famine are worry-free, but the Beijing newspaper has also rolled over the wealth so far, which is really the blessing of the court and the blessing of the victims." ”
After Zhang Pengxi's words, several people reacted immediately, and there was a burst of praise immediately.
Zhenwu glanced at Zhang Pengxi with appreciation, smiled slightly, and said: "Since it is not a silver for disaster relief, the affected places in the northern provinces will be exempted in the name of I ascending the throne and changing the yuan, which is just a bracelet exemption." After a slight pause, he continued: "Four Hengs, there is a special disaster relief low-interest loan, loan, the imperial court does not need to worry about this, the harm, security, and pension are post-disaster matters, and we will discuss it in the future, transfer millet, I have ordered to transport one million stone of rice from Nanyang and Jiangnan to the north, but Tianjin has not yet thawed, and it is difficult to quench the thirst of the distant water." Discuss first the matter of almsgiving.
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were relieved, and they groaned slightly, and Zhang Pengxi spoke: "Relief and bereavement are inseparable, they are really one, and relief is divided into three types: food, money, and goods, and compassion is porridge, clothing, medicine, etc. The specific relief steps and personnel arrangements are clearly stipulated in the "Daqing Huidian" and "Household Department Down", and it can be done in accordance with the law.
Now the grain relief has not arrived, only to order the provincial capitals, counties, counties and towns to show the specific number of disasters, and then decide the amount of grain to open the warehouse, all localities have prepared for the storage such as Yicang, Changping, Zhengcang, Taicang, etc., to meet the needs of half a month without any problem, at that time, Tianjin has already thawed, can be fully helped. ”
Zhenwu nodded slightly, but he was strange in his heart, why did these local officials not report the disaster for a long time, and he muttered for a while, but he didn't understand it, so he asked: "Now that the disaster has begun to appear, why don't you see local officials report the disaster?" ”
This matter, several people are well aware, Zhenwu ascended the throne last year, this year to change the yuan, how can a group of local officials be so blind, naturally they are all good news and not bad news, do not confirm the disaster, no one will touch this mold, after a little consideration, Zhang Pengxi muttered and said: "Back to the emperor, reporting the disaster is a major event, there is no confirmation, no one dares to report in vain, this year coincides with the emperor's change of yuan, and the general small disaster, officials will not report, in order not to disturb the emperor's interest." ”
It turned out to be good news but not bad news, Zhenwu nodded slightly, and said: "In the past, there have been officials who have lost their conscience to disregard the lives of the victims, take the opportunity to make money, embezzle disaster relief money and food, or withhold layers of deductions, and the relief money and food fall into the hands of the victims only four or five out of ten, which is really the anger of God and man." ”
