Teacher Yuan, Inspector Yuan, don't be disappointed, I am optimistic about you!

The Yuan Inspector in history has already been sent far away by Zhu Youxiao. Not to mention meddling in the military, even contact, there is no way.

If it weren't for the same surname, and there was another Yuan Inspector, the emperor would have forgotten about the one who could blow.

Even if I think about it now, I just asked the officials to check, and the emperor left it behind.

Now, the famous generals in history have gathered in Liaodong, and the soldiers are full of food, and the emperor is not too worried. Jiannu is about to be destroyed, a Yuan Da who was born as a jinshi, what kind of demon moth can he produce?

History has completely changed, and Zhu Youxiao can be 100% sure. While changing history, he also changed the fate of too many people.

Xiong Tingbi, Mao Wenlong, He Kegang, Zhang Pan, Man Gui, Huang Long, as well as Kong Youde, Zu Dashou and other generals, have all embarked on a different life path from history.

Of course, they also fought on the battlefield in Liaodong, made meritorious contributions, and paid homage to the generals. And some people seem to have lost the opportunity to perform, and the time to build heroes is gone!

For example, Lu Xiangsheng, from Jinshi and the first, to the current commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, has been promoted in a few years. But Jiannu will be destroyed, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get a stage to show loyalty and courage in the future.

But Zhu Youxiao did not feel sorry for this, just as he would not let others believe in his predictions of a major disaster, and did not make full preparations, allowing the catastrophe to cause extremely bad effects and even social turmoil.

Then, he put on a sanctimonious face and said: Look, I said a long time ago, you don't believe it; I knew for a long time that you didn't listen.

While many people like to show their foresight in this way, the afterthought is meaningless than off-putting and annoying.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't need to improve his image like this, and he doesn't need a reputation for being wise and martial. As long as the people can live, the throne will sit firmly, which is his foundation.

"So fast!" The emperor flipped through the information handed over by Dongchang, pursed the corners of his lips, and was slightly surprised, "The ticket salt law has just been implemented for less than three months, right?" ”

From the Changlu Salt Factory to the beginning of the pilot salt method, to now, the price of salt in the capital has dropped by two percent, but the quality has improved.

The East Factory is not only responsible for monitoring officials, but also responsible for summarizing and reporting information from the private sector. For example, prices, droughts and floods, harvests, and so on.

"The emperor is sympathetic to the people, promulgated the ticket salt law, stabilized the price of salt among the people, and benefited all the people." Wei Zhongxian bowed down and patted the horse's ass.

Zhu Youxiao knew that the drop in salt prices was not unexpected, but the time was fast, which was different from what he imagined.

Unlike the Compendium Ordinance that appoints salt merchants, the Ticket Salt Act is intended for the general public. As long as you have the financial resources to buy 500 catties of salt, you can go to the salt factory to sell salt. The ex-factory price of the salt factory naturally includes the salt tax.

500 catties of salt is a small limit, don't make the common people buy two catties of salt and go to the salt factory, and not open a small shop. And 500 catties of salt is nothing for a small shop.

The emperor knew that this was ruining the salt merchants' jobs, but the salt tax was directly collected into the treasury. Illegal salt dealers who evade taxes no longer have to take the risk of breaking the law and committing crimes, and can buy them directly from the salt factory.

The most important thing is that without the monopoly of the big salt merchants, the salt produced from the salt factory can be priced relatively normally through market regulation, and fair competition can be carried out, and the quality will be improved.

You mix sand and soil with salt, and you still expect it to sell well, and you are not the only one.

It is expected that the common people will get benefits, but I don't know if the salt tax will increase significantly.

Zhu Youxiao groaned, gently put down the information, and waited for the summary data report in the middle of the summer. If the effect is good, it can be promoted in Lianghuai and Liangguang next year.

The progress of the purge of corruption and the crackdown on profiteers was quick, but it could not last. The normal finances and normal operation of the country can always rely on these deviations.

If there is no greed, no profiteers, and no parasites of those powerful vassal kings, that is the Ming that Zhu Youxiao is looking forward to.

"These daily reports don't have to be sent to the palace by Wei Companion." The emperor raised his head and said slowly: "The situation in the provinces of the Northland should be reported more. You know, a catastrophe is approaching, and it will have the greatest impact on the north. ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly bowed down and responded: "The slave and maid know, and after going back, they will send more people to let the emperor understand clearly." ”

Zhu Youxiao bowed his head slightly and said: "Although Jiannu was rampant for a while, it was ultimately insufficient in the end, and its demise was not far away. And the internal troubles of the empire are the biggest cause of shaking the country. Over the past few years, I have rectified with an iron fist, and now there has been improvement, but we must not relax, and we must always grasp it unremittingly. ”

"Don't worry, the emperor." Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, with a look of hatred, "Whoever dares to live up to his righteousness, who dares to be greedy, who dares to make the emperor unhappy, the slave and maid will never let go." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled, and Lao Wei was even more happy in his heart.

The emperor pointed to the east, and he ran to the east; The emperor wants to beat the dog, and he will never beat the chicken. This is the only way to maintain the Holy Grace, as for right or wrong, it is not something that he thinks about as a eunuch.

Zhu Youxiao pointed to the fruit on the table and said, "Wei Ban has worked hard, this fruit is rewarding you." ”

"Slave and maid, long live Longen." Wei Zhongxian knelt down and kowtowed, so moved that he almost wanted to cry.

As for it, the fruits eaten by the emperor are also grown in the ground, that is, the appearance and taste have to be selected, and it is not difficult for Lao Wei to eat them.

But the imperial reward is the highest honor, this is the consensus of feudal society, Lao Wei's performance is also a bit of a performance, just to please the emperor.

"Go ahead!" The emperor was really happy, watching Lao Wei hold the fruit in a precious place, and waved his hand with a smile.

Wang Tiqian sent Lao Wei out of the hall, and rolled his eyes behind his back. You can't let Lao Wei go back to the palace to wait for the emperor and rob the holy family of the miscellaneous family.

The monopoly of salt and iron has been completed by a small half. As long as there are no corrupt officials reaching out, the salt tax is a big deal.

Zhu Youxiao sat in the imperial chair, thinking and calculating.

The crackdown on corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen has been quite effective, and not only the salt tax but also the tea tax should also be greatly increased.

The liberalization of maritime trade and the strict prohibition of smuggling have led to a rapid increase in the revenue of the customs. Although the municipal taxes in Fujian and Guangdong were basically invested in the water division, many of them still went to the national treasury.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also has high hopes for the tobacco monopoly. And the actual situation is not surprising, with the growth of planting area, the increase of tobacco factories, the increase of production capacity, the tobacco tax is also increasing year after year.

There is no problem with smoking being harmful to your health. But compared with the disaster of the death of the country and the catastrophe of the Xiaoice period, it is a small thing.

If Pingliao can succeed and save a lot of military spending, he may be able to see gold and silver next year.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The power of the whole country to level Liao and destroy the slaves, I don't want my salary, is there any reason for heaven if I don't succeed?
