Decent appointment, no one can find fault, although Tang Yin did not try to become a Jinshi, but people are Xie Yuan, according to the usual practice, Xie Yuan became a Jinshi, and it is a convention that the ranking is not low among the Jinshi, and in the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Yuan fell to the first extremely rare.

has the title of Xie Yuan, and is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, it is too normal for Tang Yin to become the official of a county.

But now the Son of Heaven actually wants the Ministry to appoint Tang Yin as the prefect of a big mansion like Yangzhou......

Don't say that Tang Yin is just a lifting officer, even if he is a top ten jinshi in the second class, the promotion speed is not so fast, Pei Si feels that this is the Son of Heaven who asked him to endorse, if he appoints Tang Yin as the prefect of Yangzhou, it is estimated that in Shilin, the name of a lucky minister of the Son of Heaven will not be able to run away.

But is it possible not to appoint?

In the Ming Dynasty, as courtiers, officials were never afraid of offending the emperor, and even being fought by the court for contradicting the emperor could become their own capital to show off.

But Pei Si is different, he is not only one of the ministers, he is also the father of Concubine Shu!

And Concubine Shu is related to the glory of the Pei family!

It can be said that when his daughter enters the palace, the Pei family and the royal family are one, even if he wants to get rid of it, the Manchu officials will automatically leave him in the category of the emperor's close ministers.

This is also the root cause of the Son of Heaven letting him come to Jiangnan, because he has no choice.

Since he had no choice but to do it, Pei Si, who sighed in his heart, finally wrote Tang Yin's name on the document appointing the Yangzhou prefect, as for whether Tang Yin could finally pass the level of the ministry and whether he could sit firmly in the position of the Yangzhou prefect, it was not a question that he Pei Si should consider.

"Tang Yin, from now on, you will temporarily take the post of prefect of Yangzhou, I hope you will fulfill your duties and don't let down the grace of God."

Tang Yin respectfully took the appointment document with both hands and said solemnly: "The ministers should do their best to share the worries of the king."

Pei Si frowned, because Tang Yin's answer was not decent, it is true that King Yong treats Tang Yin as kind as a mountain, but King Yong is now the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven promoted you to let you herdsmen Yangzhou, the most important thing you need to do is to govern the place, let the people of the government live and work in peace and contentment, and govern the environment peacefully, as for sharing worries for the king, it is the business of the courtiers.

However, Pei Si didn't have the heart to dwell on this matter, the Son of Heaven had explained that the Yangzhou Mansion would not be known for the time being, but there was still a general judgment, so he still had to look for a candidate.

Pei Si originally planned to leave the Yangzhou Mansion and go to Goolan to listen to a small song to relax, but when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw that countless people had gathered at the gate, and although they were not wearing silk and satin, they were very elegant, and they looked like rich and noble people.

"Why are so many people gathered in front of the government office?" Pei Si frowned and asked the official at the door.

"If you go back to your lordship, these are all businessmen from Yangzhou, Suzhou and the surrounding state capitals, and they came to the government today to discuss salt at the invitation of the government."

Pei Si's eyebrows jumped, Fuzun? Tang Yin, the prefect, was just appointed by him, where did he come from before, but there is no need to care about this matter, because this must have been informed by the Son of Heaven and Tang Yin, and his appointment was just a formality, and the focus of his attention was on discussing salt.

This storm has dealt an unprecedentedly huge blow to the merchants who operate the salt industry, three of the big salt merchants like Zhao Xingzhou were directly locked up and taken to prison for questioning, and nine times out of ten they will die under the knife, and these three are also the most thorough raids, except that the family has not been co-sitted, the three can be said to be completely finished.

In addition, more than 20 big salt merchants were arrested, but they were not raided, but were fined 300,000 taels to 500,000 taels.

In the end, there are fifty or sixty medium-sized salt merchants, these salt merchants are basically fined silver, less than 100,000 taels, and more than 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels, and the merchants themselves and the clansmen basically have no.

Through this incident, Pei Si saw two points, one is that the Son of Heaven caused this salt industry storm because he wanted to reform the salt administration, as for how to change it and to what extent, he didn't know how to change it.

The second point is that the Son of Heaven wants to make money, which has long been unanimously affirmed by the princes of the court.

Think about it, when the Son of Heaven was still King Yong, he opened a restaurant and a money bank, and later built a big theater, isn't the purpose of his doing this to make money?

But King Yong is a prince, what should a prince be like? Of course, it is to annex land, extort merchants, and rob the gentry, which is the correct way for the king of the Ming Dynasty to get silver.

But King Yong has to play theft, and at the same time, he also has the reputation of a wise king in Huzhou and even Zhejiang, and he is really a master.

But the master also has brutal times, how to get the fastest silver in these years, of course, robbery, robbing the rich, what is the richest in the world, of course, it is the vassal king and the giant businessman, so the prince all over the world poured blood mold, and after being deceived to the capital, he was stunned to peel off three layers of skin.

The most shameless thing is that the Son of Heaven overthrew the vassal king, and gave a righteous and even convincing reason for the whole world, punishing the vassal king's lawlessness and preventing the vassal king from harming the place!

It's as if he grabbed the vassal king's mouth and twitched it, and after he stripped off the vassal king's brocade clothes, everyone applauded.

While the Son of Heaven obtained 10,000,000 taels of silver, he also landed a good reputation for reforming and maladministration, and also gave the local area a good reputation......

The value of the vassal kings was squeezed out, so it was the turn of the merchants, the world was divided according to the region, and it was undoubtedly the richest Jin merchants, Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, but if it was calculated according to the industry, what merchants could compare with the salt merchants?

So in Pei Si's opinion, it is not surprising that the Son of Heaven, who wants silver and wants to be stunned, makes a move on the salt merchants.

The key is to be famous, to become a big salt merchant, no one can be clean, the violation of law and discipline is directly a catch, a series of arrests, raids, heavy fines, the Son of Heaven at least more than 20 million taels!

It is really a wealth of heaven, and what the Son of Heaven is doing with so much silver is a question that the ministers who are courtiers should consider.

The first thing to bear the brunt of must be the military, Pei Si can already imagine that in the near future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely set off a storm of military reform that will sweep the world.

How to reform the military and political system, in fact, the courtiers are not too concerned, the Ming Dynasty is noble and military, no matter how to change the military generals, it is impossible to climb to the head of the civilian officials, and the courtiers are worried about whether the Son of Heaven will do anything to the civilian officials?

However, there are not too many Wenchen who have this kind of worry, because it has been a tradition since the Qin and Han dynasties for the Son of Heaven and scholars to rule the world together, no matter how strong the emperor is, he also has to rely on the scholars to govern the world.

If the Son of Heaven really wants to reform the civil service system, how will he change it? Will it hurt the core interests of civil servants?

This is what the courtiers should be concerned about.
