0812 Political Exchange

And after they were secretly changed by Liu Haojia, they all forgot about political things, where do they need laws and regulations, what they need is a large number of people, and what they need is strong strength! That's why they're defeated!

If the civil officials didn't pay attention to any laws at the beginning, they would have beaten them all the way according to the previous routine! Hundreds of civil officials knelt down in front of Emperor Wanli and shouted, "Do you want to stay in Wuning or wait for me?" It is estimated that Emperor Wanli will be cowardly! At that time, Liu Haojia was either dead or injured!

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng also secretly shook his head and sighed! This Wu Ninghou is a good seedling, but unfortunately he is not from a civilian background! But today's events must be over! So he said slowly, "Since Gonggong Zhang said so, it must be true!"

Although the officials were very unwilling, they could only bow their heads and sigh! Because they also believe that Liu Haojia will not cheat on this kind of thing, because this kind of thing is too easy to be found out! So although many of them are unwilling, they can only think of a way behind their backs, and now they don't dare to say anything.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng said slowly, "Wu Ninghou, can your salt farm really beat the price of salt in Jiangbei to less than forty Wen?"

Liu Haojia said: "We have only calculated this matter. It is feasible from the results of the calculations. But there will certainly be some changes in the specific implementation. However, what the lower officials can guarantee is that from now on, the price of salt north of the Yellow River will be limited to a maximum of 50 wen a catty within a year, and within two years, at most three years, the price of salt north of the Yangtze River will also be limited to this number. But in the fourth year, it will definitely be less than forty!"

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said, "When you say the price of salt, do you mean the average salt price or the highest salt price?"

Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Naturally, it is the highest price! If the average salt price hadn't been lowered at all!"

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng nodded again and again and said, "Okay, good! Sure enough, it's a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people!"

Liu Haojia took the opportunity to say: "It is indeed a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, because the lower officials plan to add the salt tax directly to the selling price of the salt farm! As long as you buy salt in the salt farm, you will pay taxes to the imperial court, and there will be no tax evasion! In addition, when the salt works were built, the officials and those who promised that after two years, forty percent of the salt tax would be paid to the inner treasury, and the rest would be paid to the national treasury."

Hearing Liu Haojia say this, Wanli Emperor Long Yan Dayue, because Liu Haojia obviously asked for a high price! So he nodded his head in approval! But just when he was excited, he saw Zhang Juzheng glancing at him. Emperor Wanli suddenly felt a chill!

He immediately knew that the forty percent salt tax must not be able to be guaranteed, and it seemed that he could only discuss it with the teacher privately to see if he could keep the two percent, but it was really not okay to keep one percent!

This Liu Haojia continued: "Shoufu's people, in fact, all the affairs of the salt field have been handed over to Gonggong Zhang, and he is already familiar with it, so he will naturally do it step by step. As for these scholars, the lower officials think that it is better to have a better relationship with the officials, what does the first assistant think?" Look at the book

Zhang Juzheng admired Liu Haojia even more when he heard this! Because his words made two things clear! The first is the salt farm, where he will completely withdraw and hand it over to the inner court. This means that Zhang Juzheng doesn't have to consider Emperor Wanli's side when he draws the salt tax, anyway, he presses down as a teacher and the first assistant, and Emperor Wanli doesn't even dare to let go of a fart, so he will obediently hand over all the taxes!

The second sentence he said, saying that the relationship between letting the scholars go to the Ministry of Officials is to tell Zhang Juzheng that you can completely incorporate these dozens of scholars into your civil official system, without letting them wear the hat of an inner court official! This is equivalent to letting the imperial court take the salt field, which can be said to be a complete show of goodwill!

Although the salt works are still the industry of the inner court, a large number of civil officials will soon become the industry of the imperial court! Like this, Zhang Juzheng said that our civil officials are good at it!

The two of you talk like this makes Zhang Juzheng even more optimistic about the young man in front of him! Because in fact, the two of them have completed a political exchange of interests in such a short period of time!

Zhang Juzheng dismissed dozens of officials in order to appease Liu Haojia's grievances, and none of these dozens of officials were from his faction! With Zhang Juzheng's eyes, it can naturally be seen that there are almost no among these officials

Half of them belong to Zhang Siwei, so he quietly weakened the wings of his opponent, and at the same time cleaned up the discipline of the imperial court and cracked down on the unhealthy trend of wantonly falsely accusing others, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

At the same time, Liu Haojia's performance is also good! He directly and vaguely handed over the control of the salt farm, so once the price of salt north of the Yangtze River drops in the future, this credit will be tantamount to sticking to Zhang Juzheng, and he can't peel it off!

The civil and military officials present were not fools, so they naturally quickly figured out the truth. So there was a difference in their gaze when they looked at the three people in the field!

When they looked at Liu Haojia, they were full of envy and vigilance! Because through this incident, Liu Haojia can definitely get on the line of Shoufu smoothly, which is very enviable! And this guy is so difficult to mess with, he overthrew more than 30 officials at once. More than all the officials he killed in previous years combined! So don't provoke him in the future!

And everyone's eyes when they looked at Zhang Siwei were full of regret and mockery! It's a pity that he did all the useless work he did this time, and he also took the future of many of his subordinates! As for the mockery, not to mention, he pondered all day to climb to the position of the first assistant, but as soon as Zhang Juzheng made a move, he knocked him into the clouds with an understatement!

When everyone looked at Zhang Juzheng, there was reverence left in their eyes! This is the real boss! It's really turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands into rain! Even Liu Haojia, an unruly person, had to back down when he saw him!

And he indirectly got the control of the salt farm, not to mention, he directly tied this merit to himself, which is really amazing! also eased the relationship with Liu Haojia, maybe in the future, there will be another general who can fight in the first assistant's door!

Things have come to this point, and there is no need for the entire court meeting to go on any longer! Zhang Juzheng pulled Liu Haojia and Zhang Zhi to inquire about some details of the salt works and announced their retirement from the court, and the officials dispersed in whispers!

However, the aftermath of the whole thing soon rippled among the Jingshi, and everyone was surprised by the result of the early dynasty! But everyone knows one thing, that is, Wu Ninghou is really not easy to mess with!
