Lin'an Prefecture, Imperial Palace, Chongzheng Hall.
At this time, Jing Tong was making a government report every ten days. Han Tongqing was happy to see it, and Li Zhi could no longer stand and was about to jump out soon.
After reporting on the summer harvest situation in various places, as well as the report of the disaster-stricken requesting for the reduction of summer taxes by Huainan East and West Road, Jingtong put the document aside and took out another one from his sleeve.
"Officials, this is an emergency report from Huainan East Road. Because the Yellow River broke down, Yancheng was seriously affected. The mud and sand had destroyed the original salt farm. All the villages of Yanhu fled 70% and at least 70%. This incident is very serious. According to the report of the Salt and Iron Department of Huainan East Road, the cause was that the salt officials and the head of Jia bully the salt people. The disaster is now even more in danger of the salt farmers."
Jing Tong took out another report: "According to the proposal of the prefect Li, Lin'an City will issue a three-year long guild for supplying grain and material transportation on Lizhou Road and the two lakes, as well as coordination and negotiations with the Jin Kingdom. At present, no one is interested and no merchant takes over. Because there is no salt at all, I also found out that the salt guild last year had been reduced to 20% of the price."
Li Jing finally jumped out: "What should I do if I don't have money? If the Jin Kingdom does not take back the letter of state given to the surname, the late emperor will not be able to complete the funeral. Without money, how can I face the rebels in Wancheng on Jinghu South Road? Without money, how can I weave the dresses of the officials and the harem?"
Jing Tong didn't respond at all and continued to read the next one: "The official family, the next thing is Tanzhou."
Li Jing was anxious: "Prime Minister Jing, I am talking to you."
Jing Tong then turned his head: "Master Li, I am making a routine report, not a matter of discussion."
Li Jing took a step forward: "The current priority of the official family is to make clothes for the official family and negotiate with the Jin Kingdom."
Zhao Kuo did not respond.
The name of wood carving is definitely not fake.
Because he couldn't understand at all.
The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue made an example: "The official, I think the income from the search a few days ago is an urgent matter."
Li Qi glared at the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue fiercely and took another step forward: "Officials, I think it is the top priority to re-formulate the new salt law, and long-term benefits can make the national treasury stable."
Re-engineering the new salt method.
Han Tongqing understood.
This guy Li Jie wanted to turn the previous salt banknotes into waste paper and force the salt merchants to take out the money to buy new salt banknotes.
Of course, the root cause is not to increase income for the treasury, but Zhao Ruyu caused him to suffer too much at that time. He also had the Li clan, the newly joined Shi Miyuan and his gang, and his followers needed a channel to make money.
Yes, it must be so.
This method is something that Han Tuozhou never played with. He used the power in the court to grab the money from the people, which would destroy the credit of the Korean government. The Korean government had its own food, cloth, and silk, which all needed to be purchased by private merchants and exchanged for money.
Han Tongqing thought of Han Jiang.
Han Jiang is even more disdainful of using this method to make money, which is too low-level.
Han Tongqing thought about how to dig a hole for Li Zhi at this time, it would definitely be inappropriate for him to stand up.
But who would have thought that Su Shidan moved.
Su Shidan did not stand up by himself, and used his eyes to direct a neutral small official.
The little official came forward and said only one idea: "The official, I think that only by ensuring the salt banknote can I guarantee the salt banknotes, so I ask to withdraw the previous order of sealing the pass and recruit refugees from the Jin Kingdom to Yancheng. I believe that it will take several times the number of people in the original salt household in a few days. Since the salt official in Yancheng is unreliable, it is a replacement."
wonderful!
Li Qi's eyes lit up, which was indeed a clever trick.
Take this opportunity to replace the Yancheng people with their own, and the salt official can be given one quota to Shi Miyuan.
If you secretly make more private salts, the profit is huge.
farce!
In Zhou Bida's eyes, this is a farce.
Ye Shi's idea of ​​letting go was rejected. Ye Shi was thinking about what would happen to Han Tuozhou after Lin'an?
Li Zhi is so fierce now that when Han Tuozhou comes back, did he voluntarily lower himself and rely on Han Tuozhou, or would he want to establish his own faction.
Before, Li Fengniang was the queen. When you were in great power, you, Li Jing, didn’t even get to power. Now, why is Li Jing?
Ye Shi glanced at Han Tongqing and found that Han Tongqing seemed to be standing there and seemed to be asleep.
Shi Miyuan completed the first wave of support for Li Jing at this time. His ideas are more complete. Compared to Li Jing, Shi Miyuan is really talented.
Shi Miyuan put forward three points.
Recruiting refugees to rebuild salt farms, re-engineering the salt law, and increasing the share of broad salt for a three-year period.
Xie Shenfu was furious.
"Absurd!" Xie Shenfu stood up and counted the various disadvantages of re-formulating the salt method.
He understood that this was consuming the credit of the court.
Li Qi was dissatisfied: "All salt merchants are cheap, and all salt merchants are evil. Our court..." Li Qi pulled out the safety of re-establishing the salt law several times before.
In a word, why did so many people re-establish the salt method before? Now I can’t do it.
It started to be quarrel.
Several low-level officials almost performed a full-scale military campaign.
Zhou Bida was about to stand up and scold him, but his eyes fainted on the ground, and the court meeting had to end.
As for Liu Zheng, the current Privy Councilor just pretended that he hadn't heard anything.
Because he did not receive any arrangements about Li Jing from Han Jiang, in his opinion, the attitude of the Han Mansion was to make Li Jing jump out of trouble.
Liu Zheng was very clear. Zhao Ruyu was overturned. Li Zhi was like a child to a strong man to Han Tuozhou. Even if the empress dowager Li Fengniang gave the child a little wooden stick. In addition, Shi Miyuan had only an extra knife that was long and didn't need to take it seriously.
When he was retiring from the court, Han Tongqing walked side by side with Liu Zheng. When there was no one, Han Tongqing said: "My brother asked me to tell Liu Gong that everything is important now, my uncle's mission to the Jin Kingdom is the most important thing, and the rest can be ignored."
"Yeah, that's what it should be." Liu Zheng also thought so.
Liu Zheng has no doubts.
But in fact, this is what Han Tongqing meant after his reaction in the court today.
He has always been a sign of eating and waiting for death in front of outsiders, and at this time he used Han Jiang's name.
After returning to the Han Mansion, Han Tongqing ordered his Changsui: "Go to the Xishan Villa in person and tell Brother Jiang to go back to Lin'an and come back quietly. Forget it, it's not easy to come back secretly, so go back to Lin'an directly. Don't go home and go directly to the Zhou Gonggong's mansion, on the grounds of visiting the disease."
"Yes, I'll do it now."
Han Tongqing was a little sure of coming back secretly, but he didn't know it either.
Under the power of the Han Mansion, Han Jiang is not an ordinary person and there is a high probability that he will be seen, so Han Tongqing changed his plan and asked Han Jiang to return to Lin'an openly and on the grounds of visiting Zhou Bida.
When discussing Li Ji's affairs, Han Jiang would not have to go around Zhou Bida Mansion for a while.
Chapter completed!
