is known as Jiang Yin's big man, but as if he hadn't heard it, he took care of himself,

"Liangzhou and Yongzhou are in turmoil, and the people are poor, if they are arbitrarily increased, I am afraid that it will increase the burden on the people."

Jiang Jian said sincerely.

Wang Yun glanced at him and said lightly, "You are just a little gongcao, how can you speak above the temple." ”

Jiang Jian is a Gongcao of Ji County, Tianshui County, Liangzhou.

He was faithful to his duty and fought bravely.

Ma Chao admired him very much, so he brought him to Chang'an.

It's just that Ma Chao didn't expect that Jiang Jian would speak without authorization in the presence of so many big people.

The ministers present looked at Ma Chao and Jiang Yin with a chuckle.

Ma Chao only felt that his face was hot.

He was afraid that Hua Xiong would reprimand him for not being strict, so he looked at Jiang Jian sternly.

"Come back!"

At this moment, Hua Xiong said with a smile,

"Don't worry, let him finish his sentence."

As soon as Hua Xiong spoke, it was difficult for others to say anything.

"Master Xie."

Jiang Jian said gratefully to Huaxiong and continued.

"What we should do is to reduce the burden, so that we can do what the people want."

After Jiang Jian finished speaking, all the ministers present were silent.

"It's not my character to give to the people."

Hua Xiong nodded in agreement.

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. If we blindly expropriate and extort violently, we will only lose the support of the people and provoke the people to resist. ”

"At that time, the entire Han Dynasty will be unstable, and we will become sinners of the country!"

Hua Xiong's earnest words suddenly made the ministers who had proposed the endowment blushing and ashamed in their hearts.

"Taishi's words are really deafening and awakening. You always look at problems from a higher perspective, and my generation is really inferior. ”

Li Ru shook his head and sighed.

Hua Xiong smiled at this sycophant.

You go on and say, brother likes it very much.

"But in this way, how should the imperial court's finances be good......

Wang Yun swallowed and said.

Jia Xu and others were also embarrassed.

It's not that they don't understand the truth.

But the addition is just a helpless move, and you can't let the court officials and soldiers go hungry, right?

"Isn't it just money, this is easy to do, I'll be responsible for it later."

Hua Xiong volunteered to take on this task.

Everyone was immediately relieved.

Huaxiong's ability, they are all obvious to all.

Anything that is impossible, it is possible to get to Him.

Hua Xiong looked at Jiang Jian in the hall and said with a smile, "Are you willing to follow me to do things?" ”

Jiang Jian was originally just a small gongcao, if he could follow Huaxiong, the imperial master, it would be a step to the sky.

But surprisingly, Jiang Jian just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Master Taishi, I'm following General Ma."

When the other ministers heard this, they frowned slightly.

This Jiang Yin, why is he so ignorant?

But Hua Xiong admired Jiang Jian more and more, such a loyal person is very rare.

"Meng Qi, give him to me, what do you think?"

Hua Xiong asked with a smile.

"Since the Taishi has spoken, how dare his subordinates refuse?"

Ma Chao readily agreed.

Jiang Jian has no opinion now.

He knelt down towards Huaxiong and said in a deep voice, "Tianshui County Gong Cao Jiang Yin, meet Master Taishi!" ”

Hua Xiong smiled and helped Jiang Jian up, and his mind suddenly flashed.

Cheonsu-gun?

Jiang Yin?

Isn't this Jiang Wei's father?

Damn, I actually recruited Jiang Wei's father?!

At this juncture, Jiang Wei should not have been born yet.

Hua Xiong asked tentatively, "Jiang Yin, have you married a wife?" Do you have any children? ”

Jiang Jian didn't understand why Hua Xiong asked him these questions.

But he honestly replied,

"Back to the Taishi, my subordinates are married and have a son."

"And how old is your child, and what is his name?"

Hua Xiong continued to ask.

"The dog is now ten years old, his name is Jiang Wei, and his name is Boyo."

Jiang Yan's answer immediately made Hua Xiong excited.

Obediently, it's Jiang Wei!

But historically, Jiang Wei was born in 202, and this year is only 192 years old.

Jiang Wei is ten years old this year, which is equivalent to saying that he was born twenty years ahead of schedule?

However, he has traveled to the Three Kingdoms, and there is such a thing as a system, Jiang Wei was born a few years in advance, and there seems to be no fuss.

Jiang Weike was a famous big man in the late Three Kingdoms!

He got the inheritance of Zhuge Liang and supported half of the sky of Shu Han with his own strength!

Since Jiang Wei has fallen into my hands, then I can't let you go.

Hua Xiong couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Yan on the side looked dazed, not knowing why Hua Xiong had such a reaction after hearing his son's name.

……

A few days later, Hua Xiong suddenly ordered Wang Yun, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Cai Yong and other ministers of the court to gather in his mansion.

When everyone arrived, they exchanged pleasantries.

"Strange, why did Master Taishi suddenly call us here?" Cai Yong asked puzzled.

"Presumably the financial matter discussed a few days ago has been settled." Wang Yun guessed.

At this moment, Hua Xiong appeared in the lobby with a smile.

"Ministers, come with me."

Everyone followed him all the way to the backyard of the Taishi Mansion.

There is a large courtyard with a table in the center.

Jiang Jian was waiting with a few soldiers.

was led here by Hua Xiong, and everyone was a bit of a second monk, and they were confused.

"To solve the financial constraints, I plan to start with the salt administration."

Hua Xiong explained.

The ministers looked at each other, and their faces became strange.

In ancient times, it was very difficult to refine table salt, and the price of salt remained high.

But salt is a necessity for the human body.

If you don't get enough salt, you will be weakened and you will get all kinds of diseases.

Because of this, salt politics are all profiteering.

The courts of various dynasties all held the salt government in their hands.

Most of the salt circulating in the late Eastern Han Dynasty came from sea salt in the sea.

The Han Dynasty now has only Yongzhou and Liangzhou, far from the sea.

There are only a few salt ponds in the territory.

The salt refined every month is not enough for the people of Yongzhou and Liangzhou to eat.

Sometimes they have to smuggle salt from Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places through smuggled salt dealers.

In this case, the salt administration of the imperial court is basically equivalent to nothing.

Therefore, after everyone heard Hua Xiong's method, they couldn't cry or laugh.

If they could find a way to make money on the salt policy, they would have acted a long time ago.

It's really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Hua Xiong knew well about the salt politics of the imperial court, he didn't say anything, walked to the table, and pointed to the two stalls of powder.

"Ministers, please look."

Everyone took a closer look.

The pile on the left is grayish-white, even blackened lumps of salt.

On the right is a snow-white, powdery refined salt.

"Do you believe...... Is the refined salt on the right extracted from the left? ”
