In the capital city, there is a room in the Wuyitian cabinet, and sandalwood scent lingers.

Yan Song, who was wearing a python cannon, was lying on a chair, his eyes were slightly squinted, and there were more age spots on his face. There was no trace of energy in his whole person, and he was no different from an old man entering his twilight years.

But I don't know whether it was because I didn't have a good rest last night or because my nose was sick, but I heard a "hum" sound from time to time. The sound seemed long and weak, showing the bad state of an old man in his twilight years.

"Dad, please stop humming, it's making me upset!"

A powerful voice came, and a middle-aged fat man wearing a third-grade official uniform was sitting in front of the table next to him, immersed in sorting out the pile of memorials from the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

The one-eyed man who spoke was Yan Shifan, the only son of Yan Song, the chief minister of the dynasty, and the current left minister of the Ministry of Works.

There are many ways to enter the cabinet. Some enter as a cabinet official, and some enter as Si Zhilang like Lin Haoran. The most prestigious one is naturally to enter as a cabinet minister.

But no matter how you enter, the most important thing is whether you have the right to participate or decide on the vote.

Yan Shifan did not come from a regular imperial examination, but entered the official position through the Imperial College. Officials with this kind of background are destined to be ostracized by the officialdom, and promotions will be ranked after those from the imperial examination, and they are even less likely to have the opportunity to enter the exclusive cabinet of Ci ministers.

However, fate has its way. In order to retain the old Yan Song, Jiajing asked Yan Shifan to come to the cabinet every day to serve his father, thus joining the cabinet "in the name of serving his father".

If Yan Shifan really served his father honestly, then the cabinet would just be one more "nanny". But after Yan Shifan entered the cabinet, he set his sights on the coveted right to vote.

Yan Shifan was an extremely intelligent person. He gradually gained his father's trust and began to give his father some opinions on the voting process, and even directly helped with the voting process.

He was also directly involved in major court affairs. It was he who actually proposed the dispatch of officials and prime ministers to the four salt administrations, and he also recommended the candidate Yan Maoqing.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry, who is in the third rank, is the one who decides the salt affairs of the four provinces, including the left deputy censor of the capital and the prime minister. Even Wu Peng, the current minister of the Ministry of household affairs, has to take orders from him. What kind of power does this have?

Nowadays, although Yan Shifan is not a cabinet minister, his voting power is already superior to that of Xu Jie and Lu Ben, and he has implemented many policies for governing the country with the help of his father.

Yan Song let out a long sigh of dissatisfaction, glanced at Yan Shifan and said, "If your father hadn't stood up like this, would you be where you are today? Yan Shifan, you must always understand that your current power is all because of your old age.

Dad is still in this position! Once your dad is gone, you Yan Shifan will be nothing!"

"I know! I know! My ears are getting calloused!" Yan Shifan looked impatient. He picked up a memorial and changed the subject to Yan Song: "Dad, the officials in Guangdong are so disrespectful.

Taking your words seriously, let’s call Wu Peng to say hello and deal with them properly!”

"There are now two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the one I am most satisfied with is Guangdong!" Yan Song closed his eyes and expressed his attitude.

"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy that boy gave you!" Yan Shifan muttered, but he held the memorial and said loudly: "We asked Guangdong to crack down on private salt dealers, but they passed the responsibility to the official salt monopoly.

, and also investigated Qin Zhongzheng, Yan Rudou and others, this is not nonsense... Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Although Yan Song squinted his eyes, he listened carefully, and asked curiously.

Yan Shifan's brows frowned, and said honestly with one hand with one hand, "Dad, they invited to add 50 % salt to the Yueyan salt this year to solve the symptoms of official salt by salt."

"What? 50 %?" Yan Song's eyes opened immediately, looking at Yan Shifan in surprise.

The salt tax is the second largest tax of Daming. This is why he agreed to let Prime Minister of the Salt Chief Salt Government, and also wanted to get more salt tax income for the court.

It was just the most optimistic expectation. He hoped that the Yongqing would increase the salt administration of the four places by 20 %, but he never expected that the Cantonese salt, which has not been revealed, could increase by 50 % at once.

Yan Shifan glanced carefully again, and he was sure: "Yes, it's 50 %!"

"50 %? The disadvantages of Cantonese salt seem to be really small. Qin Zhonghua should kill!" Yan Song's face appeared a bit of anger, and his voice also brought a bit of killing air.

Yan Shifan wanted to protect these people, and said anxiously: "Dad, our original intention is to prevent Guangdong salt from going north.

"Preventing Guangdong salt north, it is not my original intention!" Yan Song sighed, and then said leisurely: "Our family was not rich before, and it was Yueyan.

Go to eat farther Huaiyan. If I really want to hit Cantonese salt, what do you say what will the people in Jiangxi think of your father? "

Yan Shifan didn't expect his father to return to Jiangxi for decades. He even thought for the people of Jiangxi, but still unwilling to say: "Daddy, is it that this thing is not important?

It's! ""

"Increased 50 % of the salt leaders, isn't this sincerity? Isn't it better to explain the court?" Yan Song glanced at his son, and then thought carefully: "Don't patronize your heart in your heart, we are

Those who come up with the Saint! You really have to suggest that the officials who punish Guangdong in the Holy Saint, and intend to destroy this plan for their own selfishness. You should return to your hometown early! "

When Yan Shifan heard this training guidance, he immediately enlightened in his heart, and his face appeared ashamed. This is not an ordinary thing. It is related to the fiscal revenue of the court.

Personally willing.

Why can his father stay in the position of Shoufu for more than 20 years, and those who are 82 years old can still be lazy in this position. Can't it be accurately figured out the sacred sense?

The play book was sent to Wanshou Palace, which caused Jiajing to be happy and furious on the spot.

What I like is that the Guangdong side is very sensible, and is willing to add 50 % of the salt lead, thereby alleviating Daming's fiscal dilemma. The anger is Qin Zhongzheng's mistaken for the country. For his own selfishness, he actually helped a traitor to store salt huge profits.

The imperial decree was issued, the Guangdong Salt Class was lifted, and Qin Zhongzheng, Huizhou Zhifu Liu Quan, the former vice of the Guangdong Patrol Merchants Yan Ru Dou, the salt merchant Lu Buqi and others have been in prison.
