The Ming Dynasty currently implemented the salt induction method, or the color dismantling method. The imperial court issued a prescribed amount of salt to salt merchants every year. After delivering the corresponding silver, the salt merchants could use the salt to lead them to the salt farm to extract the corresponding salt.

Since salt is a monopoly business and the price of the court is actually very low, many salt merchants have long had a complete sales network, so they try every year to buy salt turtles from the court, even second-hand salt turtles.

It's rushing to ask for it.

Under the manipulation of relevant interest groups, even if the relevant officials knew that salt quotations were popular, they turned a blind eye and instead directed the salt to large salt merchants, nobles or related households.

This year is naturally no exception! Although the salt merchants complained last year, when the imperial court issued this year's salt intake, the big salt merchants, nobles or related households bought them all. Hey, a piece of missing! If you like it, please collect it: (

It is precisely because the sudden decrease in the salt tax revenue of Guangdong salt is not because Lin Junran or Wu Shan did not reach out to Guangdong salt tax, but because some turmoil caused by the changes in the salt law.

Yan Ne knew that the salt method might tear apart the ugly face of the salt method, and immediately seized the key point and asked: "Master Yuanfu, their salt method... no, how much is the price of their salt ticket?"

Damn, another missing section! Zhaishuyuan www.zhaishuyuan.com, the latest chapters are updated the fastest!

"The price has not changed!" Xu Jie shook his head gently. Just as Yan Ne secretly breathed a breath of turbid air, Xu Jie continued: "Although the price remains unchanged, Guangdong salt has a priority salt withdrawal ticket,

It is stipulated that the salt yard must not pay salt for more than 30 days with this ticket. Assessment indicators are set for the person in charge of the salt yard, and the price of this ticket is 30% of the salt yard."

"No one is willing to pay for this thing, right?" Xu Fan couldn't help but interrupt.

Xu Jie glanced at his son and said a fact with anger: "Last month, Guangdong Salt Class Examination Department sold 200,000 salt tickets and 60,000 priority salt tickets, and sold them all on the same day!"

When Yan Ne heard this, she sighed in her heart.

Day, I can’t read it anymore and I’ll miss it! Remember it in one second, Zhaishuyuan (www.zhaishuyuan.com).

For those small and medium-sized salt merchants, not to mention only increasing by 30%, even if they double, as long as they no longer ask for or delay them, their transactions will be worth it.

While Guangdong salt was repeatedly creating salt tax revenue for the court, Huai Yan, which shouldered most of the income from the Ming Dynasty salt tax, complained about raising the one million taels of salt tax, and restored the old rules after only one year of implementation.

It is no wonder that when the emperor learned that the salt tax revenue of Guangdong salt was only 200,000 taels, he did not pursue Wu Shan, but instead promoted him to the position of Minister of Personnel.

Xu Fan still felt a lot of confusion in his heart, so he asked in confusion again: "Even if you add 60,000 yuan to get salt tickets first, the total income of Guangdong salt is only 260,000 taels, isn't it still less than last year?"

Xu Jie closed his eyes, Yan Ne looked at Xu Jie without saying a word, and then answered his questions with kindness: "Mr. Xu, last year was the salt inlet for the whole year, and this was only a part of the salt ticket,

But you can't compare this way!"

Many times, misunderstandings arise in this way.

Since salt stolen is popular, and the price of first-hand is stable and profitable, the annual salt stolen can be sold out at the beginning of the year. When Xu Jie put it on the eyeliner of the Ministry of Revenue, he saw the unclear data of Guangdong salt,

I wishfully think that this is the salt tax income of Guangdong salt throughout the year.

Xu Fan's mouth opened slightly, and finally sorted out this cognitive error, but asked like a curious baby: "Why do they only sell 200,000 salt tickets instead of all of them?"

After all, Xu Jie's heart was fleshy, so he deliberately taught his son: "This is their cleverness! First, things are wrong, and there is still room for maneuver; second, since they promised to increase the time-to-time effect of salt

, they should leave enough time for salt production in the salt field. The most important thing is that after the trial sales results are released, they can report to the emperor. If the emperor opposes, they can stop the salt law at any time; if the emperor supports them, they

Then the next batch can be launched at any time!”

After Xu Fan's face showed solemnity, he nodded slightly to express his understanding, but asked seriously: "Then the result of the trial sale is now out. Will the emperor support or oppose it?"

Blue veins immediately floated on Xu Jie's forehead and glared at his son like an idiot. Yan Ne, the good old man, shook his head helplessly, too lazy to answer this stupid question.

Yan Ne knew that this matter would have a negative impact, so he sighed slightly: "They have already started to make arrangements for the salt law last year, and when we fought with them, we were actually involved in their trap.

!”

At that time, in order to fulfill their promises to Chen Boren, they created momentum for the restoration of the old rules of Huaiyan shortly after Yan Song fell. They not only portrayed Yan Maoqing as an unforgivable person, but also told the various sufferings of the stove owners and salt merchants.

However, this move was strongly opposed by the reformists led by Wu Shan and Lin Qingran. The two sides even had a debate over the salt tax, but they allowed them to control "Talk about the Ancient and the Current" and "Shuntian Daily"

The innovative people prevailed.

But Jiang is still old, so they are not the opponent of Xu Ge Lao. They chose to give in, and threw out the theory of the country, and recommended Dong Wei, the left deputy censor of the Censorate, who had nothing to do with them, to go to Huainan.

Rectify the salt administration.

As expected, Dong Wei could not resist the sugar-coated cannonballs of the salt merchants in Lianghuai.

The result of the rectification was soon released. Dong Wei submitted a memorial to complain to the stove owners and salt merchants, and they also ordered Xu Xu, the salt censor of the two Huaihuai warden, to submit a memorial to request the restoration of the old rules.

Although there were twists and turns during this period, they achieved the final victory, helping Chen Boren restore the old rules and saving them one million taels a year.

At that time, after the proposal to restore the old rules of Huaiyan was approved, they laughed at Wushan for a long time, thinking that they were simply overestimating their abilities.

But I never expected that the matter was not really over. Wu Shan did not admit defeat, but kept holding on to this big move, which gave them a heavy blow.

They have been complaining about Huai salt, but the salt tax of Guangdong salt has hit new highs again and again, which has formed a sharp contrast with the reduction of Huai salt by 100 taels of silver last year.
