Chapter Sixty-Seven: It's Double the Happiness
King's Landing really frightened many officials.
The crown prince's thunderous bloody hand killing has already shown its viciousness in Xue Jinzhong's matter. In particular, the actual control of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is now in the hands of the prince.
I can't say that this is another inventory, how can they not panic.
Looking at the large number of officials who fell to their knees, King's Landing Tian's face darkened. It seems that many of these officials are involved in the salt law, and they cannot say that they play a big or small role in it.
Many members of the court also came to their senses at this time.
Yes, such a huge amount, especially if the private businessmen can devour it. If there is no work of the emperor's relatives and magnates behind it, they will not believe it.
With such clear data in front of everyone, how can they not know.
I don't know how the prince will deal with this matter, especially when the head official sees that many of the officials who suddenly knelt on the ground at this time are his subordinates, he is also hateful and anxious in his heart.
The prince should not be....
I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it at all.
You must know that the treasury has been empty several times before, and several national policies have been implemented because of the problem of money.
While everyone was in astonishment, King's Landing spoke again.
"The main shrine is going to reform the salt method, and divide it into regions. It just so happens that my big cadre is now steadily implementing the public-private partnership, and from the perspective of Tiangong coal and other things, I can also see it clearly compared to your Aiqing. With exclusive agency power to run the place, set up a special patrol to supervise these things. At the same time, the sale of salt set official standards and removed local officials from the buying and selling process, which was also a good opportunity to see who would jump out and secretly steal the money from the treasury of our great cadres. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and then a heated discussion began.
It turned out that the prince just said that the officials were sold, and it was the local officials who picked them, not the Daqian court.
In this way, this new salt method is quite feasible. In particular, compared with the salt introduction law, the new salt law directly excludes local officials, which has a high probability of ensuring the way for local officials and businessmen to collude, and also takes the opportunity to cut off the hands of many powerful officials who seek personal gain.
And listening to His Royal Highness the Prince's words, if someone makes a hindrance and someone dares to jump out, this is what it means to do it.
Zhu Guangqi and the others looked at King's Landing with strange expressions, and thought to themselves in their hearts.
Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killing chickens and monkeys, knocking on mountains and shaking tigers? At the moment, the officials who are kneeling on the ground are afraid that nine out of ten of them are involved, and when they say such things clearly, do they want to arrest people or let them deliberately pass on the word?
For a while, all the adults also had their own speculations in their hearts.
No matter what it means, it is inevitable that it will ensure the smooth implementation of this new salt law.
When the words are spread, there must be many people who dare not hide and dare not stop them, so that the blocking force becomes smaller, and the new salt law can be implemented smoothly; If someone really dares to jump out, with the character of the crown prince, even if he is a relative of the emperor, he is afraid that he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people.
After thinking for a moment, Jia Jinshang turned around again and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's thinking on the new salt law is really exquisite, and it can be said that it has cut off the hand of corruption. But in this case, how can I guarantee that the salt tax will be changed? Even if businessmen seek profit without local collusion, they will inevitably have other thoughts! ”
"What's so hard about that!"
Jun Lintian chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and said happily: "If you want to divide the area to become a cooperative salt merchant with the official, first collect a deposit from them, but if there is a mistake, this deposit will be confiscated to supplement the loss, if there is a problem such as greedy ink, directly behead the family as a punishment!"
At the same time, this agency sales right is not for life, all of them are put up for auction, distributed for a period of time, and a commitment is made to ensure that within the time limit again, only this one is allowed to sell salt in this local area, and the imperial court will give official protection.
Besides, my Daqian court gave them an official status, how is it different from the imperial businessman? It's not too much for the imperial court to charge agency fees! When the time comes, according to local conditions, more will be harvested in the rich land, and less will be harvested in the bitter cold land on the frontier, and it will depend on their conduct and so on! ”
Looking at King's Landing's gushing words, everyone listened in amazement.
is so clear-sighted, this prince is clearly ready a long time ago, what else is there to discuss now? It's clearly for us to be informed!
And there are many of these projects, each of which means to collect a lot of money, and the prince is really the king of the name!
The means of accumulating money, I am afraid that even the world's businessmen just can't see it!
On the contrary, it was Jia Jinshang, the left attendant of the household department, who looked at King's Landing Heaven like a god at this time, brainstorming and restless, with a clear expression of what he had learned.
Zhu Guangqi, the head of the household, also had a light in his eyes at this time, a good way, a good way, and he has to collect money again!
The last regional agent auction of Tiangong Coal has already made a lot of money, but I didn't expect this salt law innovation to be in this way, and there are more names, so the silver of the treasury.... Hey, hey, hey!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Guangqi couldn't help laughing.
As soon as the voice came to mind, the hall was quiet, and when Zhu Guangqi reacted, he saw everyone looking at him with stupid looks.
Especially the crown prince at the top, he also looked at him with a playful face at this time, which made him tremble.
"Zhu Aiqing, why are you laughing all of a sudden? Say funny things, so that the palace and the officials are also happy! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Guangqi was even more like a primary school student whose thoughts were anchored and he was caught, and he was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.
"Your Highness's forgiveness! The old minister didn't laugh for no reason, he really laughed for the prosperity of the world. ”
"Oh? Great dry prosperity? Let's talk about it! Hearing this, King's Landing looked even more weird, and this old thing was lying on the back burner!
"Yes, Your Highness! It was the old minister who thought of His Royal Highness's itching order, Tiangong coal, furnace to heat the people, and now a new salt law has been issued to bless the people. Especially the three strategies to level the grassland, so that the people of my frontier are free from the flames of war, it will not be long before my great cadres will be prosperous again, thinking of this, the old minister is blessed with his heart, the palace is out of shape, and please forgive His Royal Highness the prince! ”
As soon as these words came out, the officials present were also slightly stunned.
When did Zhu Guangqi learn the ability to lick? Why did you suddenly summarize the merits of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? But in this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only been in charge of the country for a long time, and he has made so many achievements.
As soon as he thought of this, the hundred officials seemed to have been discussed, and they all bowed down and shouted: "Daqian is prosperous and blessed, and the prince is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" ”
Listening to Zhu Guangqi's summary, Jun Lintian was also in a trance, but he didn't expect that he had crossed over and done a lot of things.
was immersed in Mei Zizi's exploits, and was called back by the shouts of the hundred officials.
Sure enough, wonderful praise can easily make people feel happy!
Feeling the shouting of the hundred officials, King Lintian was even happier in his heart. Who can refuse a courtier who speaks the truth? Who can refuse the courtiers who speak the truth?
It's doubly fun!
