Yangzhou City is the core of salt affairs in the land of Lianghuai.

The two Huai salt affairs occupy more than half of the world's share.

But it's only half, and there are many salt lords in Daming.

The salt of the salt pond is used in the northwest, the salt of the well is used in Shu, and the salt of Changlu and other places is eaten in the north and Zhili.

The reason why Lianghuai Salt is famous is because they sell in the Jiangnan area and make too much money.

When it comes to production, it's more than half.

Most of this production was sold as illicit salt.

Li Yunze rectified the salt affairs of the two Huai provinces, and directly announced the abolition of salt introduction, and since then the salt in the whole world has been turned into a monopoly.

This is to cut off the financial path of those who rely on this money to make money and eat all the time, which will inevitably cause them to fight back.

The counterattack of these people is nothing more than a civil and military way.

The article is to invite the big guy with weight to come forward to say peace, hoping to make a big thing small.

Wu is to directly destroy the salt market, so that the people of the world can not eat salt.

If the people can't eat salt, something big will happen to force Li Yunze to back down.

Of course, the more extreme is to directly kill the emperor and pull him down.

When you're in a hurry, you can do anything.

"Long live, the ministers and others have seized the salt warehouses inside and outside Yangzhou City, and seized countless illegal salts..."

Li Yunze, who returned from eating, directly interrupted Wen Tiren's words, "How many are countless?" I understand arithmetic and talk about specific numbers. ”

"This."

Wen Tiren, who was in a hurry to come over to report his credit, was a little numb, "There are about 200,000 stones." ”

Picking up the tea bowl and drinking tea and rinsing his mouth, Li Yunze smiled angrily, "Wen Qing's family, next time there is such an unreliable thing, I will arrange for you to go to Qiongzhou Mansion to be the magistrate." ”

Wen Tiren shrank his shoulders and kowtowed like a quail, and a group of cowards "The ministers don't dare." ”

What this person wants all his life is to climb up, and if he becomes the magistrate, it will really be his life.

"It doesn't matter how much smuggled salt is seized, what I have is salt. And this is the work of Jinyiwei, you have to do not do this. ”

Li Yunze painstakingly engaged in education: "At the source, you must immediately control the salt farms in various places, rely on the ships of the sailors for transportation, and arrange the salt shops in various places in the terminal market. ”

"The salt works are rotten to the roots, and the management of the salt works in various places has to be washed away. Improve the treatment of salt workers to ensure that their standard of living is raised to the point where they do not need to sell illicit salt to make a living. ”

"The sailors have reviewed all the above, improved the treatment of sergeants and boatmen, and clarified the strict implementation of rewards and punishments. Design the capacity and routes to ensure that the transportation to various places is timely and sufficient. ”

"At the end of the day, we need to take over the salt shops in various places as soon as possible. Improve the treatment of salt workers, give them fathers and sons to take over, and pass on the torch. In this way, they will cherish it and will take the initiative to maintain the salt shop and crack down on illegal salt. ”

"You also have to count production, calculate consumption, and extrapolate overall income. It is necessary to promote the plan for the ban on salt introduction throughout the country, and to arrange how to deal with the counterattack, etc. ”

Li Yunze, who had spoken for a long time in one breath, took a heavy breath, "The most important thing is to determine a unified national retail price!" ”

"This price should not be too high, because it will affect people's livelihoods. It can't be too low, it can't be so low that it's a loss. ”

He got up and walked in front of Wen Tiren, who was already completely dumbfounded, and said softly and gently, "These are what you, the minister of salt affairs supervision, should do." And not some bullshit to check what private salt! ”

"Am I the one who lacks the salt that can be sold for silver? I am not short of salt or silver! What I want is the whole market, to ensure supply, to stabilize the people's mind! ”

Looking at Wen Tiren, who was trembling in shock, Li Yunze sneered, "If I hadn't been a doppelganger, I would have been able to use you?" ”

Wen Tiren is really convinced, the kind of five-body throwing.

The emperor really knows everything, there is no doubt about the Son of Heaven!

He bowed his head with great respect, "Minister, obey the order." ”

Don't look at what has been said so much before, in fact, most of them belong to specific implementation steps.

No matter how difficult these implementation steps may be, they can be carried out eventually.

The real core key point is to determine the national uniform retail price.

As long as there is still money to be made, the private salt cannot be banned.

But if the quality of official salt goes up, and the price that the people can accept, this is the big killer to drive out the illegal salt.

There is cheap, clean and safe official salt to buy, who will buy private salt?

Without a consumer market, private salt will naturally die.

"The most important thing to solve the salt problem is to get more silver taels. If you want to solve the fundamental contradiction of the Ming Dynasty, it still lies in land annexation. After solving the salt business, it is time to talk to those big landlords. ”

Li Yunze, on his part, has lowered the importance of salt affairs.

But the group of people who have a huge interest in salt affairs don't think so.

The abolition of the salt introduction system and the transfer of all salt affairs to the government camp were announced, which immediately stirred up turbulent waves.

With an annual income of 20 million taels of silver, the court takes a fraction, and those who take the big head are now anxious.

Concerts from all over the world flew like snowflakes to Yangzhou City.

Either to lament the disadvantages of the official salt franchise, or to tout the benefits of salt.

There is also a wanton impeachment of Wen Tiren, the king of the black cauldron, and the impeachment chapter simply said that he was a traitor far beyond Qin Hui and Yang Guozhong.

To be honest, although Wen Tiren is a traitor, he is not for the sake of Qin Hui and Yang Guozhong, which is simply angry.

There are also those who directly attack Li Yunze, saying that he violated the law of his ancestors and will have no face to see his ancestors and ancestors in the future.

For other concerts, Li Yunze was 'left behind' and 'drowned'.

And the recital that scolded him was that the Dongchang fans went back with the holy decree and taught them what is called the authority of the king and not to offend!

The salt merchants spent a lot of money, and even Sun Chengzong, the head of the cabinet, couldn't stand it and wrote a note of exhortation.

Everyone has relatives and friends, and everyone has feelings to talk about, even Sun Chengzong is no exception.

Regarding Sun Chengzong's recital, Li Yunze directly replied to him with a letter.

The general meaning is to say, 'You are good to be born in Liaodong to supervise the border defense, don't meddle in things.' ’

In addition to the official actions, the salt merchants sprinkled large sums of money and began to stir up public opinion among the people.

Those celebrities and gentlemen began to lobby and speak everywhere, denouncing the official salt monopoly as a bad thing that was so bad that it was pus, and it really caused them to stir up a lot of people to make trouble.

The trend of public opinion is useless to Li Yunze, there are all kinds of scolding on the Internet in the modern world, and he has long listened to it.

But things still have to be done, inciting the people of the Ming Dynasty to make trouble, that is to be responsible.

Li Yunze's response was very simple, first of all, he directly announced the unified national retail price of official salt.

The price of each catty of official salt was set at ten cents.

This price is even much cheaper than private salt.

Although this will lead to a sharp drop in income by more than two-thirds, it will be like a needle in stabilizing people's hearts.

As soon as the price came out, the vast majority of the people immediately went home. The rest of the celebrities are facing Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi.

Those who have meritorious fame on their bodies directly stripped off their green shirts and lost their fame.

After that, he was put into prison and interrogated severely.

Where have the famous men and gentlemen who have been treated preferentially all year round have suffered such grievances?

Immediately, Zhang Pu, who was very famous among the Jiangnan Shilin, came forward and led a large group of scribes and students to storm the mansion, drove away the Jinyi guard, rescued the arrested celebrities from prison, and even burned the mansion in order to vent his anger.

As soon as this incident came out, Jiangnan shook.

"I'm asking you."

In the Yamen of Yangzhou City, Li Yunze asked softly, "Why was Jinyiwei driven away by a group of students?" Is it because there are not enough people, or do you not bring embroidered spring knives when you go out? ”

Luo Yangxing, who knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, "The minister has no way, and the minister is guilty." ”

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Li Yunze frowned slightly, "I ask you, why was Jinyiwei driven away by a group of students!" ”

"Yes."

Luo Yangxing, whose head was on the ground, gritted his teeth and responded, "The hundred households who led the team said that they were all students and scholars, so they didn't dare to do it." ”

"Hey, hey, hey."

Li Yunze, who sneered repeatedly, put his hands behind his back, "Is Jinyiwei the Son of Heaven Eagle Dog, or the minions of those scholars?" ”

'Boom! ’

Luo Yang bowed his head heavily: "The minister is guilty!" ”

"You." Li Yunze shook his head and looked at Luo Yangxing, "I originally planned to let you take over your father's position when I returned to Beijing, and I was appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which can be regarded as fulfilling the righteousness of you and me." Now it seems that you are too far behind your father in terms of ability. ”

The meaning in the words is already very clear, and Luo Yangxing's hateful teeth here are about to be crushed.

He swore that when he got out, he would chop up that damn hundred households immediately!

"This matter doesn't need to be handled by Jinyi Wei, and it will be handed over to Cao Wenzhao to deal with."

Li Yunze waved his hand, turned around and walked to the back, "Just talk about a hundred households, and his subordinates also obey orders." ”

"Minister, obey!"

Zhang Pu led people to rob the prison and burned down the yamen.

Legally, this is already a rebellion.

And the Fushe led by Zhang Pu essentially represented the big landlords, big businessmen, and big capitalists in the south of the Yangtze River.

If Li Yunze doesn't deal with it now, when he starts to solve the land problem, Zhang Pu will make even bigger moves.

Since they drove out the Jinyi guards who handled the case, well, the nature of the matter escalated to the army to deal with the rebellion.

Luo Yangxing, whose face was flushed, returned to Jinyiwei's residence, staring at the bad Baihu with red eyes, "Zhang Quan, don't say that I don't take care of you." Go to the family law of Jinyiwei by yourself, and it will not involve your family. ”

That Zhang Quan'poof' knelt down directly and begged, "My lord, save me~~~"

Luo Yangxing, who turned around, only said, "Banzai asked me just now, whether our Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven Eagle Dog, or the minions of the scholars!" How do you let me save you! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Quan's wailing suddenly stopped.

Needless to say, there is no salvation.

"Brothers."

Zhang Quan kowtowed to many colleagues around him, "Zhang Quan is incompetent, and it has affected the reputation of Jinyiwei, and it is not a pity to die." I just ask the brothers to look at their former colleagues and take care of Zhang's family. I'm here, kowtowing to my brothers! ”

Everyone around is related to each other.

Jinyiwei has been passed down from generation to generation, and many people are relatives and friends of several generations, and it is inevitable to see Zhang Quan's fate.

But this matter is indeed his own fault, so he can only vent his anger on those famous students.

All of a sudden, the torture of the famous students who were arrested was called a rapid escalation.

Jin Yiwei also saved some face for these scholars before.

The current word......

Li Yunze, who was thinking about how to take advantage of Zhang Pu's affairs, followed the vine to lift the land issue, and strolled in the back garden of the Yanzheng Yamen with his back hand.

Inadvertently, he looked at the stone pavilion not far away, and there was actually a girl painting!
