Chapter 144: Watching the Excitement?
Who doesn't watch it if there's a lot of excitement? At least Yinzuo likes to watch it very much, got up early in the morning, ate tightly, and drove to the palace in a sedan chair before dawn. However, Yinzuo was not the first to arrive, a large group of important ministers, princes, and brothers crowded into a few small circles in the court room and chatted happily.
"Initiate the saint, Weichen has a book." After the three calls are over, the new household servant is the first to be listed.
Nianling, the word Zi'an, originally from Huaiyuan, Anhui Province, the Han Army inlaid with the Yellow Flag, successively served as a member of the Ministry of Labor, a waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and the governor of Hubei. The old comrade is a slave under the old fourth door, the comrade has nothing to say in his life, the only thing that is a little interesting is his eldest son Nian Qianyao, but at this time Nian Qianyao is still studying hard in the old fourth mansion, and has not entered the court as an official.
There are not many minions under the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, not only the fourth brother himself, but also the minions under his door rarely perform in the court.
"Your Majesty, the Minister's Household Servant is old and young, the price of salt is high today, the people's livelihood is sorrowful, the private salt is overflowing, and the salt class of the imperial court is shrinking day by day, and the minister thinks that the benefits of salt and iron are the foundation of the country, and if they are not regulated, they may hurt the country...... "The old man explained in detail the disadvantages of today's salt policy, and put forward several solutions:
First, the salt administration envoy Yamen set up an anti-smuggling team to go all out to crack down on smuggling salt dealers, and the composition of the anti-smuggling team can refer to the green camp system, which is divided into two anti-smuggling departments, water and land.
Second, expand the scale of salt farms and increase the supply of salt.
3. Expand the number of salt merchants and crack down on illegal salt merchants who raise salt prices.
Fourth, the retail salt merchants are allowed to sell exclusively, all retail shops must be issued a license by the salt government envoy Yamen, and those who do not have a license are not allowed to operate the salt industry, blocking the sales of illegal salt.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, most of the officials with real power in the courtiers had a little to do with the salt merchants, and the age of the old man folded up, and suddenly there was an uproar in the court, and everyone turned their heads and talked about it, and the whole court was similar to the vegetable market. The fold of the old cake is very novel in the eyes of the courtiers, but Yinzuo didn't care much, that thing is just the prototype of the tobacco monopoly system in later generations, it is not an unusual thing, and Yinzuo originally planned to watch the excitement, and it is even more high if it is not about himself.
As soon as Nian Yaoling finished reading the book, Sibeile Yinzhen took the lead in standing up, knelt down and said: "Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that this fold is feasible, which can not only relieve the suffering of the people, but also increase the income of the imperial court, which is really a practical thing for the benefit of the country and the people." ”
Hey, the fourth child really can't wait, damn, it seems that Wu and Lin are really gods, and they can see through the motivation of the fourth child and us at a glance, hey, but then again, this fold is not bad, although it is not very complete, but the basic structure is generally there, and it is not simple to come up with this method, the guy named Tang Guoming is really not simple. Yinzuo watched the reactions of the other elder brothers with cold eyes, and with a sweep of his eyes, he found that the prince had a happy face, the boss didn't care, the third and the others made secret signals with each other's eyes, and the eighth lowered his head and a deep face, but the low-hanging hand kept changing gestures, and communicated information with a group of cronies below.
As soon as the fourth Yinzhen's voice fell, the old man Kangxi had not yet expressed his position, and He Longling, the imperial historian of Shanxi Province, was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen does not agree with the words of the young man, Weichen thinks that the salt class is the foundation of the year's income, and it should not be moved lightly, and even if it is moved, it should be mainly to crack down on private salt, and the expansion of salt merchants may hurt the enthusiasm of the existing salt merchants. ”
"Weichen thinks that what the imperial history says is reasonable, and cracking down on illicit salt was originally the affairs of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department has seized dozens of smuggling salt dealers this year, and seized thousands of stones of smuggled salt, and it seems that there is no need to set up an additional anti-smuggling team." Niu Chunchen, the waiter of the Criminal Department, immediately followed up to oppose the excerpt of the old age.
……
Lao Bayi and his gang have huge influence in the DPRK and China, and more than a dozen ministers have come out one after another to express their opposition, all of them are justified and have something to say, and even the officials of the Ministry of Rites under Lao Sanmen have jumped out several times, playing Taiping boxing.
Hehe, it's so lively, hey, it's enjoyable, it's really enjoyable, this scene is more enjoyable than the blockbuster in the previous life, interesting, haha, let's continue to act, let's continue to watch, don't stop. Yinzuo was happy in his heart, but his face was very calm, he stood without squinting, he didn't want to look at it, the old man spoke: "Yinzuo, what do you think?" ”
Depend on! Old man, are you always mistaken, that's the messenger of the household department, it's our business, there's no reason for us to come forward, right? Yinzuo hated it in his heart, but the old man spoke, and he was afraid that it would not be possible if he didn't come forward, but what to say was a troublesome matter, as soon as Yinzuo came out, the courtiers were all angry, and they all looked at Yinzuo, and the brothers also looked at Yinzuo with different expressions, each thinking about it, and the eager eyes all revealed the same meaning - support me!
Whoever you support or who you don't support is a matter of offending people, although Yinzuo is not afraid of offending people, but offending people for no reason is always a little stupid - dead old man, obviously you have already made up your mind in your heart to rectify the salt administration, and you still want to let us come forward and carry the black cauldron, damn! If we say we don't approve, hey, I'm afraid your old board has been prepared early, but if you want to say yes, we didn't help the fourth child carry back the black pot, it's greasy! Old man, are you tired of playing balance all day? Yinzuo's heart was crooked, but he didn't dare to bring it out on his face, so he pretended to ponder for a moment, and said solemnly with a solemn face: "Erchen also thinks that the salt administration should be rectified, but there are priorities, when you come step by step, you can't mess up the proportions." ”
"Huh? Tell me, I'm listening. The old man Kangxi smiled.
"Erchen thinks that the reason why the price of salt is high is indeed related to the current improper salt policy, but it has a great relationship with the inability to increase salt production, Erchen thinks that it is more appropriate to expand the salt field first, and then expand the salt merchants, and then crack down on private salt, and the salt class is the foundation of the imperial court's income, and the expansion of salt merchants must also have a limit, if there are too many salt merchants, the profits are too thin, but I am afraid that there is something wrong." Yinzuo's words generally pointed out the shortcomings in Nian Yaoling's excerpt, and also gave the eighth a chance, that is, to control the number of salt merchants, as for how many salt merchants should be there, how to define the anti-smuggling team, and other things Yinzuo didn't mention at all, let the eighth fight with the fourth, anyway, Yinzuo didn't plan to take advantage of the salt class, so naturally he couldn't be offended.
The big guys are not stupid, and naturally it can be seen that the old man Kangxi is afraid that he has decided to rectify the salt administration, and he no longer mentions those opposing opinions, and they are all thinking about how to seek some benefits from the newly expanded salt merchants, and the court is quiet for a while. After a period of strange calm, the old Ba Yinxi finally stood up, there was no way, this master had too much interest in the salt merchant, and he couldn't come out.
"Emperor Ama, Erchen thinks what King Yijun said is extremely true, and the rectification of the salt administration cannot be wasted because of choking, there must be a degree, Erchen thinks that the salt merchants can expand the recruitment, but how much to expand the recruitment is a key, and the matter may have to be investigated before the conclusion can be drawn......" The old eight talked freely, looking completely out of the public heart, so that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who was standing aside almost tilted his nose - investigate, hey, when to investigate, how to investigate, who will investigate then God knows, drag it out to the end, this salt policy reform is still a situation that cannot be resolved.
As soon as Yin Zhen finished speaking, he immediately stood up and said: "Emperor Ama of Qiqi, the son is willing to preside over this investigation, please ask Emperor Ama for permission." ”
The crown prince Yinren also got up and said softly: "Huang Ama, the ministers think that what the ministers said is reasonable, and this matter is a matter of the household department, so it is better to hand it over to the household department for investigation." ”
"That's right." As soon as the old man Chrysostom opened, no one had anything to say, but everyone was thinking about how to get a piece of the pie.
Damn, I was going to watch the excitement, but I was caught by the old man and carried the black pot, bad luck! Yinzuo was very unhappy in his heart, and he didn't bother to go to the Yamen director of the Ministry of Industry after he dispersed, and he didn't take a big sedan chair, so he rode on a horse and went straight to the house in Xiaochuanzi Hutong, where there was a Wang Xifeng waiting for Yinzuo to comfort him.
Yinzuo led a group of guards to the small string alley, got off the horse, ran directly to the backyard, as soon as he entered the backyard door, he heard a resentful pipa sound inside, it was the famous "Wound Farewell", the pipa sound was heartfelt, light and slow. A low singing voice sang softly with the sound of the pipa, which couldn't help but remind Yinzuo of the two lines of Bai Juyi's famous poem "Pipa Xing" - the shaft plucked the strings three or two times, and there was love before the tune was formed.
The strings cover up the sound and thoughts, as if they are complaining about their lack of ambition.
Yinzuo was sad for a while, knowing that he had wronged others, he listened silently for a while, sighed faintly, and slowly walked behind Wang Xifeng, who was sitting alone in the small pavilion by the pond, and called in a low voice: "Feng'er." ”
Wang Xifeng's body facing the pond shook suddenly, and seemed to freeze, the sound of the pipa stopped abruptly, and there was an awkward silence in the pavilion for a long time. Yinzuo sighed and said: "Feng'er, I ......" Yinzuo didn't know what to say, but the depressing atmosphere made him have to speak, and as soon as he was halfway through the words, he suddenly found that he couldn't talk anymore, so he had to stop.
"Alas, there is no need to say it, Feng'er knows, you have your troubles, I ......" Wang Xifeng couldn't say any more, choked and stopped, and two lines of tears involuntarily flowed down Bai Yu's flawless cheeks.
Yinzuo's heart hurt, hugged Wang Xifeng from behind, Wang Xifeng's hand shook, the pipa fell into the pond lightly, the whole person fell into Yinzuo's arms and cried loudly, a pair of small pink fists hit Yinzuo's chest, crying: "You, you, why are you the prince, woo woo......"
Why the prince? Alas, is it up to me to call the shots? Damn, Lao Tzu slept well at home, and when he woke up, he was the prince, God knows what happened. Yinzuo said a little depressedly: "Good Feng'er, don't cry, if you cry again, this king will cry too." ”
Yinzuo's pitiful words made Wang Xifeng laugh, and gave Yinzuo a small pink fist and said, "You lied to me." ”
Scam? Hey, it's a little, but we lied to you because we love you, right? Ordinary people want us to cheat, but we don't want to bird him, hey, you can't say this clearly, right? Yinzuo lowered his head and gently kissed Yuren'er's tearful face, and said with a smile: "Ah, that, hey, it's not good for this king, it should be beaten, it should be beaten, or Feng'er will beat a few more times to get angry?" ”
"you." Wang Xifeng gave Yinzuo another look with an annoyed face, and he felt funny after the fight, so he couldn't help but smile, and the pear-like smile with rain suddenly fascinated Yinzuo to the north and south, his eyes were full of peach blossoms, looking at Wang Xifeng swallowing saliva, that stupid look made Wang Xifeng laugh, and scolded with a smile: "Stupid!" ”
Hey, just laugh, silly? It's a good thing to hear, only a girl in love would say that, hahaha, it's great, my Feng'er is back. Yinzuo was excited for a while, and couldn't help but add a little force in his hand, holding Wang Xifeng tightly in his arms, and Wang Xifeng screamed: "Ah, it hurts." ”
Er, it's too big, and it's hard to use it in the wrong place. Yinzuo quickly let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Good Feng'er, you want me to die." He lowered his head and was about to give him a deep kiss, but Wang Xifeng turned his head and gave him the back of his head, which made Yinzuo a little stupid, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Wang Xifeng broke free from Yinzuo's arms with a hard effort on his waist, calmed down his mood, looked at Yinzuo and said, "What does the prince plan to do with Feng'er?" ”
How to dispose of it? At this time, it is impossible to take Wang Xifeng back to his home, and he doesn't know what year and month it is, if it is other women, it will be easy to do, but Wang Xifeng's wildness is afraid that he can't accept the fact that he has no name and no share. Yinzuo's scalp was numb for a while, this most annoying thing finally came, but it couldn't be done if he didn't answer, facing Wang Xifeng's calm face, Yinzuo didn't know what to say......
