Chapter 206: Becoming a Rebel Guard (7)
In less than a month, Rong Ci's planning was messed up, not to mention, and the benefits fell on Rong Yanna.
Song Yang, Salt Merchant's Affairs, Water Conservancy......
This made Rong Ci have to suspect that there were female cadres in his palace.
But after checking for a few days, there was no result, which caused Rong Ci's face to be gloomy all the time.
On the other hand, Rong Yan not only gained a lot of benefits, not to mention, but the matter of the salt merchant made his father even more impressed with him.
The sale of illicit salt has always been prohibited by the imperial court, and it is all government business.
But it is still repeatedly banned, because of its large profits, there are still many people who go off the rails. Some officials engaged in the salt industry in the imperial court colluded with the people in some places to sell illicit salt in order to seek personal gains.
As a result of the illegal salt, the salt of the imperial court could not be sold, and a large part of the funds were lost.
And Rong Ci originally wanted to get other gangs out of a captured official for personal gain, so as to gain the appreciation of his father.
Unexpectedly, Rong Yan came up with a way that could solve the problem from the root cause better than his.
Rong Yan handed the emperor a fold before he set out the other officials, which contained the method of managing the matter of private salt.
Of course, this was not something Rong Yan came up with, but Jiang Rao.
After all, his mind wasn't that bright.
First of all, start with the most downstream salt dealers to reduce the local official salt tax.
As the source and supplier of the entire chain, the salt dealers not only risk their lives to get salt, but also give most of their profits to the salt merchants, and they make very little money.
When the profits on both official and private salt sides are about the same, the salt dealers are shaken.
After the salt dealers, the next thing is the big salt merchant.
Increase the setting points for salt sales, and disintegrate the power of selling salt in the hands of the big salt merchants little by little. Moreover, the annual tax of the big salt merchants is also paid as a percentage.
Under the influence of one and the other, the economic capacity of the big salt merchants was unbearable, and more salt policies were in the hands of the imperial court.
If we continue to implement this method, we have achieved remarkable results.
The losses of the imperial court gradually decreased and made a lot of profits, and the emperor was naturally happy, and praised Rong Yan in front of all the officials, not to mention rewarding him.
Later, Rong Yan made another contribution to the water conservancy matter.
This made some officials directly take refuge in him privately, and Rong Ci's power in the imperial court was a little invincible to him for a while.
……
"Bang-"
Hearing the sound of something being smashed on the ground, the person kneeling on the ground just lowered his head.
I'm used to it.
After all, the second prince has been in full swing recently, and Rong Ci has been suppressed a lot, so he is naturally unhappy.
After venting Rong Yan, he felt a little more comfortable, but the fact that he was not defeated by Rong Yan really made him unhappy.
He saw the maid on the ground trembling slightly, and suddenly thought of something.
"Dark One."
The person who was guarding the roof hurriedly flew down, pushed open the door and entered the house.
He leaned over and saluted, "Master."
Rong Ci's eyes drooped slightly, covering the dark emotions in his eyes, "How is the situation with the female secret guard in the Second Prince's Mansion?"
He has been busy with these things recently, but he has forgotten that he still has his own people in Rongyan Palace.
Dark One replied, "Dark Five hasn't sent any news recently, so it's ......" He didn't know either.
Rong Yu's narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
It can't be that she betrayed herself, right?
But thinking that she didn't know her plan either, Rong Ci dispelled this thought.
"Then contact her, and don't give the antidote if it doesn't work."
Darkness paused slightly, then responded, "Yes."
……
It's getting dark.
A carrier pigeon waved its wings and slowly landed on the wooden sandalwood table in front of the window, and "cooed" a few times.
After a while, knobby fingers landed between its legs, and the letter was taken out of the special bamboo tube.
The white robe rippled in mid-air before falling back to its original place.
After reading the contents of the letter, the man's black eyes were as cold as a pool of condensation.
This troublemaker is quite agreeable.
Hey, two more, I did my best.
This month's update will not be too stable, because there will be a UGC exam at the end of the month, so the energy will be focused on it, and the time for coding words will be less.
But I try my best to do more, less, less and less every day (ˊˋ*)
