Chapter 550: The Window Period for Improvement

Mr. Feng was very disappointed and whispered to Qin Dewei: "This is a good place?"

Qin Dewei asked back, "Is Wang Situ's family not good?"

Mr. Feng sighed softly, "This time I am pardoned and returned to the court. I thought I would wander for a few years to wash away the impetuousness of my body. But you immediately wanted to pull me into the whirlpool, making people feel at ease."

Qin Dewei was shocked: "You can actually see through my motives! You have made great progress."

Mr. Feng shook his sleeves and said lightly: "People in the temple cannot help themselves. People like me who are destined to be famous in history are always bound to be bound by cause and effect.

I don’t know if the peach blossoms in Jiaofangsi Hutong have withered, so I’ll say, what do you want me to do?”

After Wang Yiqi's Grand Situ dealt with Qin Dewei for too much, his psychological tolerance was greatly enhanced, and he just stood silently watching the two negotiate.

Qin Dewei patted Mr. Feng and greeted him, "Sit down first and then talk slowly! There is no need to be restrained at my uncle's house!"

The guest and host formally sat down and gave tea.

Wang Dasitu and Feng En were not familiar with each other, so they still had to rely on Qin Dewei to start arranging.

"Mr. Feng, you explain the changes in Liaodong over the past two years to Wang Situ!" Qin Dewei said instructing.

Two years ago, in the 14th year of Jiajing, Qin Dewei played a big chess in Liaodong, played the "Five Years of Ding Liao Shu", and proposed a bunch of reform policies with Liaodong as a pilot...

For example, gradually shifting to the recruitment system, implementing the mixed one-whip method, restoring the salt method to open China and France, and unified purchase and sales of grain, etc.

Most of the imperial courts were accurate. In recent years, Liaodong has indeed collapsed a bit, so I will try to improve it.

Most of these reform measures are related to the Ministry of Revenue. Money, grain, salt, and taxes are all affairs of the Ministry of Revenue system.

Mr. Feng frowned and said, "I have a lot of clues, where can I start?"

Qin Dewei said: "Not to mention anything else, let's talk about the situation where Liaodong pilots resumed China and France. Two years have passed, so it should be effective, right?"

Kaizhong and France was the salt law formulated by the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Salt merchants had to transport grain to border towns before they could exchange them for salt.

This is a very excellent system that can greatly alleviate the shortage of materials in the border areas.

Moreover, in order to transport food to border towns nearby, salt merchants will recruit people to farm in the border, which will greatly promote the economic development of the border.

However, due to various disharmonious reasons, starting from the Chenghua Dynasty, the opening of China and France was a bit broken.

It was another forty years ago that Ye Qi, the Minister of Revenue of the Hongzhi Dynasty, changed the new law and changed the transfer of grain to color.

In other words, salt merchants can directly exchange silver for salt and then sell salt, so they no longer have to work hard to deliver food to the border town.

Then this color-breaking salt method has been implemented until today.

Mr. Feng was a little surprised when he heard that Qin Dewei was only concerned about the recovery of Kaizhong and France in Liaodong, so he focused on the situation:

"The court issued an annual quota of 100,000 salt inductions to Liaodong, which was sold for about 30,000 taels of silver, but last year it received 40,000 stones of grain.

In fact, in border towns, grain is more important than silver, and recruiting troops can save money by using grain.

Moreover, with such a batch of grain input, the market price of grain can indeed stabilize. Last year, the price of grain in Liaodong was eight cents per stone, which was down from previous years."

Qin Dewei listened while communicating with Wang Yiqi.

Feng En said almost the same thing as what he had, so he stopped and picked up the teacup to quench his thirst.

He looked at Qin Dewei and Wang Dasitu, and always felt that it was not just as simple as listening to the results of Liaodong's reform.

Then he couldn't help asking Qin Dewei: "What do you want to do? Could it be that he still wants to restore the opening of the nine sides of China and France?"

Qin Dewei turned his head and nodded and replied, "Wang Situ and I do have this intention!"

Feng En almost shook off the teacup in his hand, "Are you kidding?"

Qin Dewei sighed with emotion: "The salt method changed from the method of opening the middle method to break the color method, which is to drink poison to quench thirst, to greed for temporary benefits and destroy the foundation for all generations! Therefore, it must be corrected!"

In the early Ming Dynasty, various northern expeditions were made, so why were there no problem with border town supplies?

Although the reasons are very complicated and cannot be generalized, the Open-China Dharma will definitely play a huge role.

Kaizhong and France: Border towns receive at least 600,000 700,000 s of grain every year, and the grain prices are stable.

The method of color-shaving: The court received more than one million yuan in cash every year, and then issued hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the border town, and the grain prices soared.

The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a s

By comparison, you can see that the only benefit of the color-shaving method is that it can make the imperial treasury earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year.

This is what Qin Dewei said about "drinking poison to quench thirst", but it has caused great damage to the border town economy.

For border towns where supplies are scarce, of course, food is more important than silver.

Not to mention how much the commercial military farming brought by China and France will promote the economic development of border towns.

Originally, in history, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty was the collapse of finance.

There were many financial problems in the Ming Dynasty, and there were especially many financial problems in border towns. If you really want to talk about it in detail, you can’t finish writing a few monographs.

However, the collapse of border town economy started with the abolition of China and France, and then it became difficult to recover step by step.

Qin Dewei is not a god, so he can only try his best to find ways to improve it bit by bit. Let’s start with restoring the opening of the Chinese law.

Mr. Feng advised: "For such a big thing, if you have higher official positions in a few years, it will not be too late to push them."

Qin Dewei rarely showed a little anxious look: "Now is the last opportunity. If you can't do it in the past few years, you will be even less able to do it in five or six years."

Wang Yiqi and Mr. Feng didn't quite understand why Qin Dewei was anxious, but they didn't question it because Qin Dewei had proved magic too many times.

Only Qin Dewei knew in his heart that the salt method has been restored from the color-shaving method to the opening of the Chinese law, and the fiscal book manifestation is that the current silver income of the imperial treasury has temporarily decreased, while the materials in the border towns have increased and prices have been stable.

In recent years, the Jiajing Dynasty's finances have been maintained. During the "pain period" of reform, the current treasury revenue of the treasury will not collapse.

The key is that Emperor Jiajing himself has a little idea of ​​working hard to boost national strength.

After the 21st year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing himself gave up treatment and completely entered the mode of cultivating immortals, the Jiajing Dynasty's finances also began to have a significant deficit.

At that time, you should not think about resuming the Chinese and French styles, that is impossible.

It is impossible for gods to reform and reduce cash bank incomes when the national treasury is in a deficit of hundreds of thousands or millions.

Qin Dewei was murmured in his mind: "If it doesn't work, start to do a whip method to maintain the current silver income of the treasury so as not to have any objections, but the multi-line operation is too difficult."

Mr. Feng asked in confusion: "Then why do you tell me these things? I am now determined to be idle clouds and wild cranes and have no ability to help you."

Qin Dewei showed a standard smile with eight teeth, "Mr. Feng, aren't you thinking about getting close to home?

I think you are going to Yangzhou to be a salt inspector? You are the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue’s Office as well as the salt inspector!

Yangzhou is closer to your Songjiang River. It’s just like crossing the big river. It’s extremely convenient to travel, and it’s even more convenient than Nanjing.”

Mist grass! Mr. Feng subconsciously covered his pounding heart.

Oh no, it's a heart-warming feeling!

Qin Dewei asked Mr. Feng to adjust his mentality by himself, and said to Wang Situ: "Uncle Master, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and you should be the leader in the reform of the salt law!"

Wang Yiqi thought about it and nodded solemnly.

Qin Dewei has already analyzed the pros and cons very thoroughly. What’s wrong with serving the country and the people?

Qin Dewei said confidently again: "Someone must be opposed. Uncle Master, you initiate and promote the reform of the salt law first, and it will be just right to temper yourself.

I will first see who opposes it. When the opportunity is right, I will take action and make a final decision!
