After the establishment of Jiangbei Province, the Governor's Office was established in Huai'an, and the Censor's Office was established. The Governor was in charge of the general, the Governor was in charge of civil affairs, and the Censor's Office was in charge of the law.

The Dashun followed the Ming system, the governor and the governor were all second-ranked, and the inspectors were the third-ranked rank. The prefects of Yangzhou, Huai'an, Xuzhou and Tongzhou under Jiangbei were the fourth-ranked rank.

In addition, Huai'an also has a joint management cabin transportation yamen. This yamen was rebuilt on the basis of the former Ming Governor's Grade Governor's Grade Governor. It was demoted from the second-rank governor to the fourth-rank assistant. The officials who were responsible for the grain management, supervision of Dui, and handling punishment, and the chief officials all ranged from the sixth to the seventh rank.

Unlike the former Ming Dynasty who focused the focus of grain transportation on Huai'an, Dashun placed the focus of grain transportation on Jining, Shandong, and set up the Prime Minister's Grain Transportation Office here. The Prime Minister was Hu Shangyou, who was the former Ming Dynasty general and was once the ambassador of Shandong's pacification.

In other words, the Associate Canal Transportation Yamen in Huai'an belongs to the branch of the Shandong Zongli Yamen. The former is mainly responsible for the canal transport affairs of the Yangzhou to Xuzhou section, while the latter is mainly responsible for the canal transport affairs of the Xuzhou to Beijing section.

The reason for this is that the central government considers that Jiangbei region is more prosperous than Shandong. If the Governor's Office in Huai'an is still like the Ming Dynasty, it will not benefit the Shandong region where the canal flows through.

However, if the Cao Transport Zongli Yamen is located in Jining, it will allow Jining's southeastern region to obtain political and economic privileges.

With the development of time, this political and economic privilege can allow the southeastern Shandong to develop unprecedentedly, which is conducive to the development and construction of the entire Shandong region.

Therefore, with Lu Si's decision, the Prime Minister's Cao Transport Office was changed to Jining.

Most of the provincial capitals of Dashun provinces and provincial capitals are established according to this principle, that is, the provincial government offices are not set up in areas with large populations and better economy, but in relatively poor areas within the province to avoid the abnormal development phenomenon of "the rich are richer and the poor are poorer".

The current assistant director of Huai'an's grain transport was Song Qing, the head of the Qingjiang Department of the Grain Transportation in the Ming Dynasty. After joining the Huai Army, this person was responsible for the fleet and supplies of the Huai Army. Later, he served as the magistrate of Yancheng County to be responsible for the rectification of the salt industry.

After the Huaiyang area was renovated in Jiangbei Province, Song Qing returned to the familiar field of canal transportation and served as assistant to the canal transportation. It was definitely a high promotion to the county magistrate of the seventh rank to the assistant to the fourth rank. For Song Qing, who was only 36 years old, it was really a bright future and unlimited.

The Huaiyang area was the earliest territory operated by the Huai Army, and the canal transportation area was recovered the fastest. Therefore, under the leadership of Song Qing, all the canal transportation in the Jiangbei region was connected, and the ship pass rate also returned to 60% of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, which greatly promoted the economic development of the Jiangbei region and also ensured the transportation of money and grain and trade exchanges in the northern region.

In the short term, the canal transportation will still be the main artery connecting the north and south of the Dashun regime. Even Lu Si, who is determined to expand the sea and expand the sea, has to admit this.

There is also a third-rank yamen in Jiangbei Province, which is the Jiangbei Qingyan Branch located in Haizili, the eastern part of Yancheng County.

The Qingyan Envoy was Wang Er, the fortune teller who launched the Hegong uprising with Yu Huaishu in the Canal. Because Wang Er firmly supported the "leader" Yu Huaishu during the Huaian Incident, although he was not killed by Lu Si afterwards, he was transferred from the Huai Army. However, considering that Mr. Wang Er had played a positive role in the stability and growth of the Huai Army at the beginning of the uprising, Lu Si ordered him to lead 800 soldiers to Yancheng County to preside over the salt clearance mission.

Salt pipes have been lacking in fertilizer since ancient times.

Previously, when Song Qing was the magistrate of Yancheng County, vigorously rectified the salt industry and cracked down on powerful salt merchants, the production of Huai salt was greatly restored, and various construction projects were also orderly, which made Wang Er relatively relaxed after taking over the salt cleaning work.

After one year of office, Wang Er wrote to the store, believing that the main problem in the salt industry is the flood of private salt, so he suggested to launch a "ticket system", that is, to purchase tickets and sell salt.

This method is very similar to the Kaizhong method in the Ming Dynasty, but the procedures have become streamlined. That is, after obtaining permission, salt merchants can collect tickets from the Qingyan Branch to go to the salt farm to buy salt, and then ship them to various places for sale.

As long as the salt clearance department firmly controls the salt farm, salt merchants will not be able to buy salt without tickets, and it can ensure that private salt will not continue to flood.

After receiving Wang Er's letter, Lu Si found Sun Kewang, the Minister of the Government, to ask for his opinion because he did not conduct enough research on the salt industry.

Sun Kewang said that the private salts of the previous dynasties were roughly six categories, divided into field private, military private, official private, neighbor private, ship private and business private.

In other words, at every step of salt production, there are actually people who steal salt privately and sell it privately, which cannot be eliminated.

Among the six types of private salts, business is the lightest, and the heaviest is the field, military, and official.

Lu Si asked why this is the case.

Sun Kewang reported: "Those who have power are private."

Lu Si knew that in the words of his previous life, as long as it was a monopoly, there would inevitably be corruption.

Which official with power would not reach out to the fat piece of salt?

For salt-making stove owners, they will definitely make more extra salt in normal times and privately transport the salt to sell it to the people at a price lower than the official salt. This is due to people's profit-seeking nature and cannot be eliminated.

Therefore, if you agree to Wang Er’s vote recognition system, this “vote salt system” will definitely become a tool for officials to make money.

The salt and iron monopoly is the most stable source of taxation in all dynasties over thousands of years. Before the unified large-scale opening of the south, Dashun had a great desire for salt tax.

Then the problem of private salt flooding must be solved.

Lu Si asked Sun Kewang how to solve the problem of private salt.

Sun Kewang reported that it was enough to impose a unified tax.

"The root cause of private salt can exist and the proliferation is that there is no tax, and the people are greedy for small profits. In this way, as long as taxes are imposed and the salt industry is liberalized, the problem of private salt will still exist, but it will not hinder the overall situation..."

Sun Kewang's opinion is very simple, that is, the government will only care about production and sales in the future.

Just production is specifically about focusing on the salt making process, and the private salt problem in this link is actually the stove worker.

Sun Kewang believes that by increasing the salary of stove workers and increasing the salt collection price of salt households, making the income of stove workers and salt households relatively higher than that of their stealing private salt, it can curb the private salt problem in the salt production process.

The sales link was completely relaxed, and both salt merchants and hawkers could go to the salt farm to buy salt directly. As for how they set prices and sell them out, merchants had their own plans.

Lu Si shook his head and said that's not OK. If the vendor sets the price of salt to death, wouldn't it be that the people would scold Dashun and scold him Emperor Longwu's mother?

Sun Kewang added that the central government can set a "guiding price", and the selling price of vendors fluctuates around 20% of this "guiding price". If it is higher than 20%, the government will interfere immediately or solve it from the source.

"Big salt merchants can organize fleets through large scale, and horse teams transport large amounts of salt to sell to other places, and the profit will be high. Hawkers can also make money through streets and alleys, which will make big merchants compete with each other, and the salt price will not be too high."

After hearing Sun Kewang's salt comments, Lu Si thought about it carefully and agreed happily, and ordered the household government to issue the "Salt Case Iron Man" and promulgated the four major salt farms in the country after formulating feasible tax rates.

After the "Salt Case Imperiality" was released in March of the first year of Longwu, the salt markets in various places immediately became popular. Most people near the salt farms participated in the tide of salt trading, and everyone took advantage of salt trading as a benefit and enjoyed salt trading. There was even a phenomenon that children from the age of seven or eight went to Yancheng to pick up salt and sold it.

It can be said that Dashun’s policy of liberalizing salt sales has set off a climax of everyone selling salt in the north, and this phenomenon quickly evolved into a market saturation problem.

Although the north has a vast land, it has few people.

All three major salt fields were started, and all the old and young men sold salt. A large number of fleets and horses went to Dashun provinces. At first, nothing could be seen, but after a long time, the salt would inevitably appear in stock.

Salt merchants and salt vendors used real money and silver to buy salt from the government, and pointed to selling the salt to recycle the capital and make profits. Now that the demand for salt is getting smaller, it can't be sold there. How can salt vendors and salt vendors not be anxious?

Therefore, under the promotion of some large salt merchants, the censor wrote a letter to request the emperor to fight south as soon as possible.

Because the southern market is far more tempting to salt merchants than the northern market.

There were not a single letter from the court that requested the Southern Expedition, but all of them were based on national unity and the elimination of the remnant Ming Dynasty. This time, the letter was actually linked to the "market", which surprised Lu Si, who was already the emperor of Dashun, and was very ecstatic.
