"What should I do?" Xu He asked rhetorically.

"To understand what to do, we must first solve a problem, that is, the group of people who benefit the most under the existing salt law! After getting them, the salt method we proposed is the practical salt method! "Xu He cut the railway.

Chen Hua nodded: "That's right, but you just said that the people who make profits are all officials and small people who don't enter the salt farm!" ”

"Didn't the hereditary salt tyrants you said before and set up a system to manage these people have solved this problem?"

Xu He shook his head: "The major policies of a country, there must be more than just such people lying on it and sucking blood. Let me start with one thing, how do you solve the matter of hoarders? ”

The so-called hoarders are naturally hoarders.

The merchants in the salt industry can be divided into three types according to their nature, one is the border merchants, these people are the people who transport grain to Jiubian, and then take the warehouse money and go to the salt department to extract salt.

The second is the domestic businessmen, these people are the so-called businessmen who are guarding the salt field every day, they hold salt in their hands, and now the price of official salt is high, and the official salt in their hands often cannot be sold, and they are pressed in their hands for ten or eight years, and they are miserable.

The third is hoarding merchants, these people are very powerful, border merchants or domestic businessmen encounter natural and man-made disasters and urgently need money, they take the opportunity to buy salt or official salt at a low price, and then take advantage of the high price of salt to sell it, which is the so-called hoarding.

Most of these hoarders are from the domestic businessmen, and they want to do this kind of business, not only with huge family assets, but also with a strong political backstage.

They certainly don't want to see their vested interests damaged.

In other words, if you don't have the determination to break the boat, then don't use the salt method easily, otherwise these people and the forces behind them will definitely be able to kill Chen Hua and the Xu family.

Chen Hua's newly-ignited ambition for reform suddenly fell apart under Xu He's analysis.

That's right, he wants to be famous in history, he wants to be prosperous in the official road, but that is based on the safety of life.

Chen Hua didn't want to be a figure like Shang Ying and Le Yi, because the country was strong because of their reforms, but he died a desolate death.

Xu He could see his hesitation and retreat, but he was not prepared to persuade, because what he needed was a firm supporter of reform, not a coward who retreated halfway.

So, he continued: "In addition to hoarding merchants, there are also Shoufu and King Qi, Jifu and Crown Prince, including ......"

He pointed upward, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Chen Hua has completely decided to give up after hearing this, what kind of shit reform, especially this is to offend all the top and bottom, and reform a yarn.

Xu He saw that the heat was almost over, so he smiled and said, "Lord Chen, are you scared when you hear these names?" ”

Chen Hua's face turned red instantly, not because of the excitement after being framed, but because he was really ashamed.

That's right, he was really scared.

Xu He can also understand this, people are bureaucrats, you expect him to be similar to Zhang Juzheng, obviously he is a member of the bureaucracy, and he digs the graves of officials every day, and in the end, the graves of officials are not dug up, and he himself is opened and killed, which is extremely miserable!

Xu He smiled at him and said: "There is a method, the imperial court has taxes, the stove has a way to live, and the hoarders are still going around saying good things about you, what the first assistant, the second assistant, what the prince, the king of Qi all praise this method loudly." In the end, only our majesty lost the inner treasury silver of the Taoist Temple, can you do this? ”

"What?" Chen Hua stood up hesitantly and said excitedly: "Is there such a good way?" ”

Xu He nodded.

Chen Hua said excitedly: "! Why not? If there is such a method, I will be the first to play, and I will also find ......, cough cough, and find some important ministers in the court to help talk about the item! ”

Xu He laughed in his heart, this Chen Hua is also an interesting smart person.

Because he knows that it is impossible for any kind of system to satisfy everyone, then, the lesser of two evils, sorry, Your Majesty, we won't take you to play!

What Xu He wants is this effect, as long as the country and the people have silver, I don't care what emperor you are.

Isn't Emperor Zhizheng unhappy when the time comes?

Then go and wrestle with your ministers, for I have nothing to do.

"What is the best plan for Xu Gongzi, please come quickly!" Chen Hua almost took Xu He's hand and had a long talk.

Xu He nodded and said, "My method is called the Gang Movement Method!" ”

"What? What does it mean? Chen Hua was puzzled.

Xu He motioned for him to be calm, and then slowly explained the salt method he had designed for the Great Wei Dynasty...... Outline Movement Law.

In fact, it is very simple to say, that is, the cooks produce and sell themselves, and they get more for more work.

Of course, this kind of extra work is completely different from Xu Dai's, because the bargaining power of salt prices is dominated by the imperial court, and the stove Ding and the salt merchant participate in the discussion, and the three points contain each other, and the court cannot force the stove Ding and the merchant to produce and buy salt, and the stove Ding and the merchant also have the right to bargain.

The tripartite co-management of the salt price, equivalent to the bidding of later generations, the imperial court set a salt price ceiling according to the living conditions of the people, under this ceiling, the stove households and salt merchants negotiated the price, the stove owners felt that this price could support themselves, and there were savings, the merchants felt that the price was profitable, and the final salt price was born.

To put it bluntly, it is the market and the relationship between supply and demand that determine the price of salt, which prevents the common people from being unable to afford salt, and also avoids the cheap salt from harming the interests of cooks, and protects merchants to a certain extent.

This method of direct participation in production and sales by businessmen and cooks also avoids the drawbacks of too many administrative orders and blind commands that do not follow the laws of the market.

Chen Hua nodded when he heard this: "It is really unbelievable to let the stove Ding and the businessman participate in the bargaining, but if it can really be done, it seems that it is indeed as you said, it is good for everyone!" ”

Xu He continued: "However, in this process, the merchant as one of the three parties, is very important, the imperial court to distinguish the merchant's purchasing ability and ability to resist risks, to put it bluntly, this is not a small fight, you want to participate in the salt industry trading, not only requires you to trace the innocence of three generations, but also has a huge amount of money." ”

Chen Hua nodded in understanding, these days, if you don't have some silver, you can't play with a bulk commodity like salt.

For example, in the case of disasters such as wind, snow, rain and typhoon, the harvest may fail.

The small businessman paid the deposit, the salt factory could not hand over the goods, and lost the working capital, so what did it do?

I can only go bankrupt.

Moreover, the small merchants of Didi Lala, how much manpower and material resources do the court have to spend to maintain, so the salt is either monopolized by the imperial court, and the imperial monopoly cannot be done, and private individuals must have abundant resources.

So where do these people come from?

Hoarders.

Although the hoarders are treacherous, buying low and selling high, they are rich and have people.

If they were involved, wouldn't it be a perfect solution to the difficult problem of the implementation of the salt law and the problem of hoarders opposing the new law?

"Therefore, we only need to propose that the imperial court, set up a thin salt courtyard, sort it according to the capital, survey a volume, divide the salt of the two Huai into ten outlines, and each outline will deduct the entire 200,000 citations of the surplus silver, and the holy virtue will be super eternal, and the imperial fan will be crossed around the nine circles as the book number, and the old will be cited every year, and the nine outlines will be newly introduced!"

Chen Hua's eyes lit up, what Xu He meant by this method is, everyone rest assured, the imperial court will not ignore the merchants who have old quotes in their hands, but you don't rush to the salt, I have a businessman every year to help repay your salt.

The advantage of this is that the imperial court still collects the salt tax of the other nine outlines, and does not delay the repayment of the old debts accumulated for many years, the finance and the salt industry will not collapse all at once, everyone is all finished, and the empty checks promised in previous years are repaid by new salt merchants, and the court elements do not come out, wonderful!

The new salt merchants will not be bothered by the old accounts, anyway, everyone will help to pay it back, compared with the money earned by the salt monopoly, the money will only be posted for one year in ten years, and this matter has a problem.

Especially sooner or later, the old introduction will be paid off, and then they will be hereditary merchants, and their children and grandchildren will make money lying down.

This salt method has made it bitter to the businessmen who have the old introduction in their hands.

But the old introduction in their hands is no different from waste paper, and now the court is helping you to get to the bottom, although it will take a long time, but you at least have hope.

Chen Hua looked at Xu He with admiration, what the hell is this talent, this is a genius, and the sky is full of talent!

"These chapters involve a lot of knowledge about the salt law, and twenty chapters are not enough to write, but everyone definitely doesn't like to read it, so I have adjusted some key points to talk about it, and I won't repeat some things that have nothing to do with this book.

In short, these chapters may be a bit boring, but they are an important introduction to the subsequent chapters, and I have to explain them!

Does anyone read this book? If you have any, please leave a message, and each of you will send a wife!"
