Chapter 246: Forbidden Salt
However, he already has a fief, and unlike other princes, people will never agree.
He wants to take advantage of the fact that the overall situation is undecided, and first select the candidate for the crown princess.
"Your Highness might as well discuss it with the Emperor,"
The six princes consulted with the emperor, and the emperor didn't know who to choose for a while.
Originally, the two Shi family were the best candidates, but they were already married, so it didn't make sense.
"Father, if this princess is not chosen well, even if the father feels sorry for his sons and chooses everything for his sons, when the time comes, it will still not be as good as the second emperor's brother," he said aggrievedly.
The emperor sent him to the fiefdom, saying that it was to protect him, but in fact, it also harmed him and made him lose the opportunity to gain a foothold in the capital.
is the three emperor brothers, all of whom are better than him, in this case, how can he inherit the throne in the future.
The emperor began to think deeply: "Don't worry, my father will not treat you badly!" ”
Looking at the six princes who looked like the deceased queen, he couldn't wait to hold everything in front of him.
It's just that during this period of time, I don't know what's wrong, many things have obviously been arranged by him, but the result is not satisfactory.
After Gu Jingxuan got married, he never appeared in the palace.
Today, I was recruited into the palace by the emperor.
After seeing the ceremony, the emperor glanced at him and said, "Lord Meijun is seriously ill, don't bother in the future!" ”
Gu Jingxuan was slightly stunned, and then saluted: "Yes, the minister wrote it down,"
This is reluctant to give up the money of the Mei Mansion, and I am afraid that the Lord of Mei County will be stuffed into An'er.
"Okay, a garden, I'm not a stingy person, but, you know, the treasury is empty, and without the support of the plum horses, I'm also struggling," the emperor casually said the facts that everyone knew to reassure people. 88
Gu Jingxuan listened with slightly closed eyes, but he was extremely disdainful in his heart.
Knowing that Mei Yuma has done so much, in order to snatch everything from Mei Mansion, he directly let Lord Mei die, who would dare to be loyal to such a person who will take revenge.
"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and there is a way for the ministers to temporarily alleviate it," Gu Jingxuan said suddenly.
"What's the solution?" He asked in surprise.
"Salt," Gu Jingxuan said: "The emperor can prohibit private salt, mainly official salt, and then order it in various prefectures and cities, in this way, there will be more people who eat salt, and the income of the treasury will increase,"
Knowing that it was his daughter-in-law who handed over the method of making salt, he carried it forward and caused some contradictions to the court and the family.
The emperor is too idle, and it's not good.
His proposal made the emperor very moved.
Everyone eats official salt, so how much income will there be.
He was moved but didn't dare to act: "The private salt made by various governments has been passed down for countless years, and if I make an order, I am afraid it will attract opposition from all sides,"
"Your Majesty, private salt is coarse-grained and bitter, completely different from snow salt, as long as the price is right, the people will definitely choose snow salt," there is a comparison between the two, you can know which one.
Although this is to provoke the emperor and the family, he is also for the sake of the people.
Originally, the salt-making technique provided by An'er would benefit the people, but he found that only the villages around the capital might spread to Xiantao City, but the farther places were not involved.
Those local gentry are trying their best to prevent it, unwilling to invade their territory.
Then the people over there will suffer.
The emperor finally compromised for the interests of it, "Tomorrow the court meeting, I let them discuss it,"
