The emperor raised the butcher's knife, and no one could really stop him from removing the salt envoys of the two Huaidu,

After the decree really came out, the salt transportation divisions in other regions were greatly shaken.

First, the salt industry in this dynasty was all government-run, but now that the imperial court has changed the new system, it has actually sold the right to operate the salt factory to private individuals at a price, which seems to be a large piece of fat.

According to the new regulations, the auction price is set according to the amount of salt introduced.

On average, a salt farm with an annual output of 30,000 taels of salt needs to pay 150,000 taels of silver if it wants to be auctioned off and run by itself.

The salt merchants can figure it out.

In September of the first year of Zhengde, the auction of the salt field was officially announced, and it was eyed by it from Beijing to Lianghuai, and then to Liangzhejiang.

Of course, the sudden removal of the Salt Transportation Division was just as shocking.

When the news came to Zhejiang, some salt merchants from Zhejiang and Zhejiang came to visit Mei Kejia.

When he arrived in Shandong, the Shandong Transportation Division investigated several cases of selling illicit salt, and also submitted them to Beijing.

But this time it didn't cause much movement in the imperial court,

In fact, in addition to the two Huai salts, there are also two Zhejiang salts, Shandong salts, etc., but this time the imperial court only paid the salt of the two Huai, which made it difficult for the salt merchants who held salt quotes elsewhere to balance.

However, the reform of the salt administration, or such a big reform, must be done step by step, just like the abolition of the people and herdsmen in Ma Zheng, Zhu Houzhao is also gradual.

He was very profound in the degree of reform, but relatively conservative in the progress, which was the so-called steady progress in later generations.

The other Yun Si handed over to the palace said anything,

There's even a mess of it.

The Cabinet later suggested that the Imperial Court should strictly decree that, except for the two Huai Salt Works, all matters of the Salt Transportation Division and the Salt Section Promotion Division in all other places should remain the same as in previous years, and no one should easily change them.

Zhu Houzhao agreed.

He didn't even chase the private salt of Shandong Salt, because this system set up gave the private salt space, he didn't do anything else in his life, only checked the private salt, and when he died, he guaranteed that there was still private salt in the world.

"Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea. Salt is a matter of great profit. The imperial court auctioned off the management rights of the salt farm, and even if there were some variables, there would be no shortage of people who wanted to try it. The method of auction will be successful. ”

Dacheng put 900,000 taels of silver into the treasury.

It is easy to surpass the salt class of Lianghuai in previous years, and do not set up so many officials, in the past, it was necessary to send a salt patrol to the imperial history for a while, and to prevent the stove households from changing their nationality for a while, and the administrative cost was really large.

However, the auction of the salt works will also have another problem.

"Some ministers and kings came to ask if they were allowed to participate in the new salt system of the imperial court?"

The emperor is archery,

On the side are his favorite ministers, Gu Zuo, Chen Jili, and You Simeng, the right deputy envoy who has just jumped into the ranks of Beijing officials with 'out of the mud without staining'.

You Simeng is a middle-aged man who has just turned forty years old, with dark skin and short stature, looking honest and his eyes still seem to be dull.

If it weren't for this check on this eucalyptus, such a person would never have been summoned by the emperor once in his life.

But it is indeed not easy for such an obscure and mediocre person to keep his integrity in such a big eucalyptus.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't think that he must have a strong ability, but he can be well-behaved, and he is not enterprising enough to keep it, which should still exist.

"No."

Zhu Houzhao answered that question very simply,

"Whether it is a nobleman or a clansman, they are already leading the court. The imperial court conducted an auction in order to fill the warehouse, what about them? The main thing is that these people are involved, and it is very easy to upset the balance. When the new law is broken in their hands, will I kill or not? ”

Gu Zuo pushed the boat down the river, "If Your Majesty's mind has been decided, Weichen thinks that he should do his will to the world and let China and foreign countries hear about it." ”

There is the banner of the Divine Decree,

When the auction house refuses, there is sufficient reason, otherwise it will refuse the Hou Ye and the Wang Ye every day...... It's also quite stressful.

That's no problem.

"I can write this will. But the auction house also needs to pay attention to the relationship behind the businessmen. Pay more attention to it, don't go with the same stream, once you break my new law, it's not as simple as peeling off the skin. ”

The hearts of the three people trembled.

"The ministers don't dare."

Zhu Houzhao stopped at the point, and then asked: "The auction house still lacks a regular envoy, Liqing, do you have any recommendations?" ”

Gu Zuo thought about it and refused, "Weichen is busy every day, and most of the people he contacts are still people in Shaofu, and it is difficult to say the right person for a while." Besides, the auction is making it, this is a matter of the Sacred Heart's tacit determination, and Weichen really didn't think about it, and he hopes that His Majesty will forgive him. ”

The emperor heard that Gu Zuo also wanted to give away a little bit of the things in his hand.

You can't take everything.

"I see."

He really had to think about it.

Employing people is one of the most important things for him as an emperor, and the auction house is a new yamen, and it is easy to become troublesome if people are not found well.

But this person is not easy to choose,

Most of the people he trusts are already in important positions, and this envoy is a fifth-grade official, and he can't ask Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong, who are second-grade and third-grade officials, to concurrently serve as high-ranking officials.

And some other petty officials don't seem to fully understand what he means.

And this position is actually very testing, because it is a new thing, it requires this person to be clever enough, obedient enough, on the one hand, the emperor's intentions are in charge, not to give him all kinds of old-fashioned opinions every day, and at the same time, he must also have the ability to deal with new problems in the new yamen.

In fact, put these requirements in a column,

There is only one person who can reassure Zhu Houzhao.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be so soon, after the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, he entered the attendant room, and now it has been more than a year.

After the emperor sent away his courtiers, he walked slowly to the Qianqing Palace, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Jin Gui and Yan Song sorting out the documents inside.

"Jin Aiqing,"

A familiar voice appeared, startling Jin and Yan, who hurriedly came over and knelt down, "See Your Majesty." ”

"No courtesy. Jin Aiqing, you come out. I have something to say to you. ”

"Yes."

Yan Song looked at this scene with some doubts, it is rare for an emperor to call someone like this.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the sun is no longer scorching, and the temperature in autumn is even a little comfortable, with the emperor walking in front and Jin Gui following behind.

"What do you think of Yan Weizhong, how is this person?"

"Back to Your Majesty, only the middle is diligent, steady, and has the talent of a pillar."

"Wang Xian is gone, Xie Pi is temporarily leaving, and he will not come back in two or three months. Yan Song, I'm going to send it away. Of these four, you are the first to come, but you may be the last to go. ”

Jin Gui was slightly panicked, lifted his official robe and knelt down, "Weichen is willing to serve the king, but he is loyal to his duties, and he has never thought of him, Your Majesty said this, it is really embarrassing for Weichen!" ”

"You are a person who doesn't talk much, and even I only have a few words with you on weekdays. Today, I want to listen to a few words from your heart, and you tell the truth, there is really no complaint? ”

Jin Gui still said the same, "Your Majesty's generation of Ming monarchs, serving in front of the emperor, people in the world envy a lot, how can there be complaints?" ”

"Then after Yan Weizhong leaves, there will be two more people, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

"Your Majesty understands the ministers, except for the things in hand, other people are not willing to think about it."

"You live an easy life...... Zhu Houzhao said meaningfully,

In fact, simple people are also simple good.

He can also come simply.

"Go back. In addition......"

Jin Gui lowered his head.

"Werningberg has died, you can write a eulogy for me. Just send it to the eucalyptus. ”

"Obey."

yes

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and Yan Song was suitable.

Although it was a little early for him to leave the chamber suddenly.

But the plan can't keep up with the changes, things and challenges are in front of you, and there are the right people who don't use them, isn't that stupid?

At least Yan Song has always been by his side and knows his attitude towards Yanzheng.

In the meantime, he has to go back to the Qianqing Palace and wait for the pulse.

In August, it was Dr. Tan and Xin Hui who came, but this time it was changed to Miss Kwai Er.

And when I got there, I found that there was only Miss Aoi.

She's still as beautiful as ever, and Kwai Er is tall. Dr. Tan raised her since she was a child, I don't know if she has done any medicinal baths, what supplements she has eaten, etc.,

In short, she has a bee waist and thin legs, twin peaks towering, a plain green skirt lining her body is extremely slender, standing up, not much shorter than a man like him, you must know that he often exercises, eats enough, but is more than one meter seven.

"The people see Your Majesty."

"Flatten. What about doctors? What's wrong with you? ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words. Master went to the Yongshou Palace. ”

"Eternal Longevity Palace?"

"Master said that His Majesty's illness has been cured, and the dragon is in good health, but he will only have monthly follow-up. And the Yongshou Palace ......"

"Oh, I see. You don't have to explain. Zhu Houzhao already knew it in his heart.

Since the big wedding was put on the agenda, the Mei sisters began to be anxious, they really wanted to be happy, and it was okay to smile, after all, there were. My sister Huaiyan didn't know what was going on, and her belly never moved.

Some time ago, the two of them were deceived and went to do 'Dharma affairs', in fact, it was also out of this mentality.

"The two nobles are born auspicious, and Your Majesty is also the king loved by the people, and there will definitely be blessings in the future." Miss Kwai Er said comforting words, because she saw that the emperor seemed to be a little distracted.

But she didn't dare to take a closer look, and glanced at it hurriedly, only feeling that the young man was full of spirit, and there was sharpness hidden in his eyebrows.

The emperor stretched out his hand to her,

Her doctor was even more nervous, and her pulse was beating very fast.

A wisp of green silk hung down from her ear, but it was difficult to hide her somewhat reddened face.

The girl's shyness is also one of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Then he reached out and took his pulse, as if there was a feeling of electric shock.

Plop, plop, plop......

Kwai Er thought she was wrong at first, her green eyebrows tufted slightly, and then she found that it was wrong, it was the emperor's pulse.

"Your Majesty......" Kwai Er looked very serious, "Why is Your Majesty's pulse so fast?" ”

As a doctor, this is a symptom, and it is the emperor's pulse, and she cannot be sloppy.

As a result, I heard the emperor next to me say: "The willow waist spring breeze passes, and the birds go with the incense." Of course, my pulse will be fast. ”
