According to the provisions of the "Gang Salt System" of the Ming Dynasty. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) The merchants who hold the salt quotation are divided into ten outlines according to the region, each of which is 200,000 quotations, and each quotation is 300 catties of salt, or 6 coins and 4 cents of silver, which is called "woben", and the tax is three taels of silver, and the minister is three taels of silver. The annual salt output is 60,000 catties.

Then my Ming Dynasty's salt tax revenue should be 6 taels and 66 cents of silver for every silver it induces, and a total of 13,280,000 taels of silver should be paid! But in fact, the annual salt tax revenue of my Ming Dynasty is less than 2 million taels of silver.

The annual loss of salt tax in this is enough to occupy more than nine out of ten of the entire Ming salt tax, and the ministers are trusted by the monarch to serve as the Yunnan Salt Lifting Division, feeling the emperor's grace, so determined to be the imperial court Qingming salt affairs.

But helpless ministers have the intention to kill the thief and have no power to return to the sky, Yunnan up to the Cheng Xuan political envoy department, the command of the envoy department, the punishment according to the prosecution of the envoy division, down to the Yongning Prefecture prefect Zhizhou Zhixian are all and Yunnan salt affairs are not clear, the minister Qi Emperor can send a loyal and honest duke selfless minister to Yunnan to thoroughly investigate the salt affairs, so that the Yunnan salt affairs party has a clear day.

After reading Shangguan Zheng's last letter that failed to reach the emperor's hand, Jiang Xia exhaled slightly. At this moment, he was all awake, and the rest was completely solemn.

No wonder Shangguan is dying. Jiang Xia couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Shangguan Zheng's courage was inevitably too great. A letter of recital actually included all the officials of the entire Yunnan province. In this way, the officials in Yunnan still did not make concerted efforts to kill him? I am afraid that one person could drown him with a mouthful of spit.

However, although Jiang Xia sighed that Shangguan was bold, he had to admit two facts in his heart. The first Shangguan Zheng was basically wronged, and he was a good official. Second, Shangguan Zheng is admirable.

Jiang Xia folded the music in his hand, and he looked at Shangguan Ziyue, whose face was covered with pear blossoms and rain.

Shangguan Ziyue looked nervous, she didn't understand how big it was involved. There was once a senior member from the third grade who took a fancy to her, Shangguan Ziyue just mentioned a few words, and the senior official immediately excused herself and left, and never looked for her again. Shangguan Ziyue also understood that if she and Jiang Xia Pingshui met, if she hoped that he would be mixed in like this, the chance was too small, very small.

Jiang Xia said to Shangguan Ziyue: "Ziyue, I tell you the truth, this matter is too widely implicated, and there are too many officials involved, I may not be able to help you." ”

Shangguan Ziyue's beautiful eyes blinked, and tears immediately flowed out. She nodded, and said with a slight choked voice: "Ziyue understands, thank you for telling me the truth." ”

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I said I can't help you, but I didn't say I won't help you." You give me this note, and I will find a way to help you deliver it to the emperor. As for how he decides afterwards, that's not up to me, I hope you can understand. ”

Hearing that Jiang Xia was willing to help hand the fold to the emperor, Shangguan Ziyue was excited, and she nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Jiang Xia shook his head, stood up and said, "Okay, it's not too early, I'll go back first, and you can rest early." ”

"Yes. Shangguan Ziyue nodded in response.

Jiang Xia bowed slightly to her and said, "Farewell." Then he turned and walked to the door, opened it and walked out.

Downstairs, Jiang Xia said goodbye to Xueyi, Lan Huixin and others and left the Jiaole Building. When Jiang Xia walked out of the gate, he saw Han Mufeng sitting in the carriage waiting for him for the first time, Jiang Xia walked over with a smile and said to Han Mufeng, "Thank you Brother Han." ”

Han Mufeng smiled slightly, "To be polite to me is to treat me as an outsider." ”

"Oh, well, in order not to misunderstand that I treat you as an outsider, I will not give you this month's monthly silver. Jiangxia said.

After saying that, the two laughed together.

At this moment, it was already dark, Han Mufeng asked Jiang Xia where he was going, Jiang Xia thought for a while and asked Han Mufeng to send him to the leopard room. He thought that since he had promised to help Shangguan Ziyue, he would have to make a little effort no matter what, so he wanted to try his luck in the leopard room to see if Zhu Houzhao was there.

When he came to the door of the leopard room, after Jiang Xia showed the "Tianzi No. 1" token, he asked the guard Zhu Houzhao if he was inside. The guard replied that the emperor was practicing martial arts in the practice room, and Jiang Xia nodded when he knew it. Originally, the guards were going to report it, but Jiang Xia stopped him, and he went directly into the leopard room and walked towards the practice room.

The door of the practice room was hidden, and as soon as Jiang Xia approached, he heard Zhu Houzhao's voice shouting loudly: "You are not allowed to move, you 'Jiang Xia', see how I clean you up today." ”

Jiang Xia's heart sank, and he pushed open the door a little and looked inside. I saw a group of leopard guards wearing masks with their portraits painted on their faces, and the words "Jiangxia No. 1" and "Jiangxia No. 2" were written on their foreheads, and they were indeed "a group of Jiangxia".

Then "that group of Jiangxias" stood there like a piece of wood, allowing Zhu Houzhao to punch left and right, Zhu Houzhao slapped his mouth and recited some words: "Tell you to teach me the boy skills! Let you frame me for taking a fancy to the old woman who sweeps the floor! Let you hit me on the head if you have nothing to do! I will beat you to eat, I will beat you so that you can't sleep, I will beat you so that you can't get close to women."

Wait, here it is. Jiang Xia's anger value suddenly rose by a hundred points, even if he couldn't eat or sleep, he still thought that he couldn't get close to women? It's really unbearable for uncles, and aunts can't bear it.

"Bang!" Jiang Xia kicked the door open, then looked at Zhu Houzhao with a shocked face and said with a cruel smile: "Your Majesty, what's the point of beating those fake Jiang Xia? ”

"Huh?" Zhu Houzhao was obviously startled.

Jiang Xia waved his hand and said to those guards: "All retreat!"

Those guards were ready to leave immediately on the occasion of the amnesty, and Zhu Houzhao hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, whoever leaves without my order will cut off their heads." ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, those guards naturally didn't dare to leave, the smile on Jiang Xia's face became more and more prosperous, he pinched his hands with a "bang" sound, and approached Zhu Houzhao step by step and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen will accompany you to practice a few tricks." ”

After speaking, Jiang Xia rushed towards Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was shocked, fortunately, he contacted Tong Zigong recently, and his body was much more flexible, so he avoided it. Jiang Xia kicked at the wooden stake behind Zhu Houzhao, originally he didn't really use his true qi, but seeing that Zhu Houzhao dodged Jiang Xia, he simply poured his true qi into his right leg.

I only heard a "click", and the wooden stake was actually broken by Jiang Xia's kick.

"Oh my God, you're real. Zhu Houzhao immediately ran around with his head in his hands, and he shouted as he ran: "I'm joking, I won't dare next time, you dissipate your anger and calm your anger."

The guards in the room were stunned.

In the previous half an hour, they were all cursing the person named "Jiang Xia" in their hearts, and they were all thinking in their hearts about how this person provoked the emperor, and it was really damn damn that the emperor was so angry and let them be punished. However, they also guessed that maybe that Jiang Xia had already died, and the person who provoked the emperor could still live?

Who knew that now Jiang Xia is here, and he actually dares to make a move on the emperor, and the emperor also admits his mistake and begs for mercy.

Jiang Xia stopped and didn't chase Zhu Houzhao anymore, he said, "Okay, I really have something to do with you, you let them retreat first." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously, he still didn't trust him a little, so he said, "No, unless you swear first." ”

Jiang Xia was speechless for a moment, he raised the three fingers of his right hand and swore an oath: "Okay, I swear." ”

Zhu Houzhao relieved his mind at this time, he waved his hand and said, "You all go down." ”

The guards immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, "Subordinates retire." ”

Zhu Houzhao said "um", and then he said: "You remember to me, if anyone says anything in this practice room today, all of you will have to be buried together, understand?"

"The subordinates understand. The guards said in unison, and Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to let the guards retreat.

Soon the guards all left, and only Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao were left in the room. Zhu Houzhao asked Jiang Xia: "What's the matter?

Jiang Xia nodded, he looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Second brother, I have rarely taken the initiative to talk to you about state affairs for a long time, because I don't want our relationship to have any impact on your country. But today I might talk to you about a big thing. ”

Hearing Jiang Xia talk about "state affairs" and "major events", Zhu Houzhao immediately sat up straight, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

Jiang Xia took out the copy of the fold that Shangguan Ziyue handed him from his arms and handed it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao took it and opened it to look at it, at first he didn't care, but after sweeping his eyes twice, his face immediately became solemn, and his brows were furrowed very tightly.

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao folded the fold, he looked at Jiang Xia with sharp eyes and asked, "What is said in this fold is true?"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "I don't know if it's true or not, I was just entrusted by someone to transfer this piece to you." As for whether the content in the fold is true or false, you have to check it yourself. ”

Zhu Houzhao took a slight breath and said, "The salt tax of the Ming Dynasty is extremely important, when my father was still in power, the salt tax was only 17.8 million taels a year, and after I ascended the throne, it increased slightly. I've always thought that my salt tax revenue was pretty good, but if this statement was true, I probably wouldn't have received even one out of ten salt taxes. ”

Jiang Xia chuckled, he shook his head and said, "Don't mind when the eldest brother says something, if you really want to talk about it, there are many laws in the Ming Dynasty that are very unreasonable." Whether it's a commercial tax, a farm tax, or a salt tax, it's all very strange, and I don't understand why it's done anyway. ”

"To give a simple example, I remember that the commercial tax of our Ming Dynasty was thirty taxes and one. The agricultural tax is four buckets per mu, and in the event of a war, the agricultural tax must be increased, and the ...... of the officials

When Jiang Xia said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at Zhu Houzhao, he saw that he was looking at himself with a red face.

Jiang Xia said weakly, "Did I say too much?"
