"Rest assured, this seat will definitely wash the world in blood and avenge the disciples of my Sword Sect!"

A look of anger flashed in the eyes of the old man of Excalibur.

Immediately, his body moved, and his straight body burst out of the air like a divine sword, and swept away into the distance!

disappeared into the Kunlun Mountains.

"Dominate, the world will ......"

The four hidden masters of Kunlun Mountain, their eyes all looked in the direction where the old man of the Excalibur disappeared, "Dare to argue with Kunlun Mountain, who gave you the courage......

Imperial Palace, Daqing Palace.

Zhao Lin is renegotiating the price of official salt with Hubu Shangshu.

The price of official salt has always been too high.

Of course, it increased the financial revenue of the imperial court.

But it has imposed a heavy burden on the people.

While strictly investigating the sale of illicit salt and smashing his gang out, Zhao Lin was ready to lower the price of official salt.

Otherwise, Zhao Lin's measures to crack down on illicit salt will not be of any benefit to the people at all.

It will even cut off the livelihood of many poor people.

"Aiqing, I plan to lower the price of official salt to the same price as private salt. ”

Zhao Lin said what he thought in his heart.

But when Hubu Shangshu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "Your Majesty, the production of official salt is difficult, it is much better than private salt, if it is the same price as private salt, I am afraid that it will cause a loss......"

The price reduction of official salt will not only reduce the income of the household department, but may even cause losses.

He, the head of the household, had to be brought up on the spot, otherwise the emperor would be held accountable at that time, and it would become his culpability.

"Not necessarily. ”

Zhao Lin shook his head, "In the past, the reason why official salt was not profitable was because many businesses would rob private salt, but now private salt has been severely cracked down, and people can only buy official salt." ”

"I have a hunch that the sales of official salt will be greatly increased in the future. ”

"The government has small profits and quick turnover, and it may not necessarily lose money. ”

Zhao Lin's heart was very clear.

Even if there is a slight loss in the official salt, it is within the scope of the imperial court.

Now the Great Song Dynasty has unified the world, re-measured the land of the world, counted the population of the world, and increased the finance and taxation, which is more than ten times that of the past.

The official salt is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it can be completely profitable to the people.

"Let's do it according to my will first, and if there is a real loss, the household department will fill the hole first. ”

"I'll find a way to add new tax sources from other places. ”

"At the same time, we will send an order to the Academy of Sciences to recruit specialized personnel to improve salt production technology and reduce costs. ”

Zhao Lin said lightly.

"Wechen obeyed. ”

Hubu Shangshu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave it up.

But there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, "I don't know where Your Majesty plans to add new tax sources?"

In the current Great Song Dynasty, although the tax is not heavy, the coverage is wide enough.

Your Majesty, where else can we add new sources of taxes?

As the head of the household, he was of course very curious.

"I do have an immature idea in my mind. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes looked at Hubu Shangshu, "That is, customs!"

"Customs?"

Tobe Shangshu was stunned.

"Not bad. ”

Zhao Lin nodded, "I plan to open all coastal ports, encourage merchants to go overseas and exchange goods, and at the same time set up customs in major coastal cities to collect customs duties!"

"Open all ports and collect customs duties?"

Tobe Shangshu was shocked.

In previous dynasties, of course, trade with foreign countries was also practiced, but only one or two ports were often opened for foreign merchants to settle in.

The main reason for doing this is to make things difficult for foreigners, and to facilitate management.

And now, His Majesty is actually going to open all the ports?

Of course, now that the Great Song Dynasty is strong, looking at what country in this world, dare to disturb and make trouble in their territory of the Great Song Dynasty?

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty was not afraid at all.

Even if the country is completely opened up and doing business with foreigners, so what?

How many businessmen will be expected to do business with foreigners?

Unthinkable.

As soon as he thought of this, Hubu Shangshu suddenly felt excited.

Where can the terrible tax born in this be compared to the salt tax?

Your Majesty is Your Majesty.

Just think about it, it's such a brilliant idea!

"After Aiqing went back, she thought about this customs matter. ”

Seeing the excited and inexplicable Hubu Shangshu, Zhao Lin also smiled slightly, he, the Hubu Shangshu, is still a teachable person, he often proposes anything new, and the other party can accept it.

However, this is also the reason why the other party can always be the head of the household.

If it was a stubborn old guy, Zhao Lin would have kicked the other party out of the court a long time ago.

"Don't make a noise about this in advance, after you and the household officials have worked out the detailed rules, then bring it up in the court, in front of the civil and military officials. ”

Zhao Lin admonished.

"Wechen respectfully obeys His Majesty's holy decree!"

Tobe Shangshu bowed slightly and said in a loud voice.

At this moment, in his mind, there is already a grand blueprint.

After the retirement of Tobe Shangshu.

Cao Zhengchun walked in.

He handed a secret letter to Zhao Lin on the throne of the dragon chair, and said with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from the male gang leader. ”

Zhao Lin took the secret letter.

He opened it and looked at it, and then frowned.

In the letter, Xiongba mentioned the matter of the book in Kunlun Mountain.

And in my heart, I explained that in this Kunlun Mountain, it is very likely that there will be a six-grade great master.

"Six-Rank Grand Master, ......"

Zhao Lin's eyes flashed with a gleam.

The cultivation of the six-rank great master has already surpassed the upper limit of the Central Plains martial arts.

Before that, Yun Shenlong, the palace master of the Genting Heavenly Palace, was only the ultimate of the fifth-grade great master, close to the cultivation of the sixth-grade great master.

If such a strong person really appears, Xiongba and Tianxia will definitely not be their opponents.

"Decree the hegemony, so that the world will stop foreign expeditions in the near future and make every effort to guard the mountain gate. ”

Zhao Lin ordered at Cao Zhengchun.

The arrival of the Great Master of the Six Grades is no joke.

Even if he is a hero, he can't match a six-rank grand master at the moment.

Therefore, the world must pay attention to it, otherwise, it is very likely to suffer a heavy blow.

Let the Central Plains martial arts hegemony that has been built up with great effort be ruined.

"Yes. ”

Cao Zhengchun nodded and immediately retreated.

He had to instruct the secret agents of the East Factory to inform Xiongba immediately.

After Cao Zhengchun withdrew from the Daqing Palace, Zhao Lin's face also fell into a deep groan.

When the six-rank great master came, he just didn't know if his third Heavenly Son Divine Skill could match it?

In any case, it seems that he has to go to the world meeting in person.

Although he is the king of a country, it is difficult to walk away.

But it also had to be.

【Ding!】

At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Zhao Lin's mind.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching 60 million faith points.] 】

[Get the system reward: Shengyuan Dan 1.] 】

Hearing the system's words, Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Shengyuan Pill, this is an elixir that can improve cultivation.

The effect is the same as that of the myeloid cleansing pill.

But the difference between the two is that the Cleansing Pill is only effective for the powerhouses below the third-rank Grand Master.

However, the Shengyuan Pill can take effect on the strong people below the six-rank great master.

In comparison, the value of the Shengyuan Pill is obviously much higher than that of the Cleansing Pill.
