Chapter 2936 promise to inspect

Old Master Tang looked at him as if he were looking at a corrupt official who made trouble without reason and had a black face.

Liu Shangshu ignored him and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, if this law is really what Bai Shan said, then I will change the salt policy of Dajin, from salt price to salt tax. It can be completed in one day, so this method must not be spread to the outside world at this time, and it can only be made public when there is a comprehensive strategy, so that there will be no chaos at that time."

It is said that it is public, but it is not directly released to let the people of the whole country know, but it is publicized in the government offices where salt can be dried.

Those who know it are still insiders, just like the current method of boiling salt. Apart from the officials and skilled workers who cook salt, who else knows this method?

Didn't the magistrate Lu want to open a new salt farm, he would have to put people in the old salt farm to learn how to cook salt, and then bring people out after he learned it?

But this scope of disclosure is enough for Dajin.

Wei Zhi was also agitated in his heart at this time, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan's malpractice may be swept away by this opportunity."

After hearing the words, the old Tang immediately entered the role. There have always been many problems in Jiangnan. For nearly two hundred years, the north has been in a scuffle. It was difficult for the family and the regime to move to the south. When they came back, the Dajin controlled Jiangnan. somewhat weakened.

At present, the most serious phenomenon of Tibetans is in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, it is a matter of salt tax.

The emperor kept holding his breath.

The emperor also wanted to take advantage of this, and his eyes were shining: "Salt administration is related to people's livelihood. In the past, I had to rely on them to produce salt, but now..."

The prince thought of his old hatred, so he was eager to try, "Father, my son, I would like to go to Jiangnan."

The emperor glanced at him and said, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, what are you doing in Jiangnan?"

Wei Zhi asked, "Who does His Majesty think is suitable?"

The emperor pondered.

He thought about it for a long time, hesitated and hesitated, but couldn't help but ask, "What do you think about Yang Changbo?"

Old Master Tang and Wei Zhi Liu Shangshu looked at each other, and they both pondered and said nothing.

Liu Shangshu waited for a long time, but still couldn't hold back: "Your Majesty, Yang's influence in Jiangnan is not weak, and he has been involved in the salt administration a lot in the past. Although he was suppressed a few years ago, he has a lot of old friends by marriage and sent Yang Changbo. Go, I'm afraid it's not right?"

Because of the excellent relationship between his son and Yang Changbo, Old Master Tang knew Yang Changbo better than Liu Shangshu, and suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Yang Changbo what he means, and ask him if he wants to go."

Wei knew: "If he wants to go, then this matter has a 30% chance of winning."

Not only in his identity, but also in his talents.

The emperor looked at the prince, "What did the prince think?"

Although the prince didn't like the Yang family very much, he had to admit that Yang Changbo had a gentleman's style. If he agreed, he should not be against the tide, unless their father and son took him first.

However, the prince felt that as long as he and his father were not mentally disabled, they would not bear such an important minister for no reason, so he nodded, "When the time comes, let him keep his family in the capital, and I will let the crown prince take care of his family more."

It is not only a hostage, but also a protection, so that he has no worries.

The emperor nodded slightly.

The emperor decided to call Yang Changbo to the capital to talk about it, but before that, he pushed the salt shaker in front of them and said, "Try it, I think this salt is pretty good."

The three of them stepped forward and tasted it a little. The taste was indeed good, no worse than the medium salt outside.

This thing can be dried in the sea water?

It's too simple, right?

The emperor was also very curious, "I have seen the sea, and I have also drank sea water, that smell..."

The emperor paused for a while, ignoring the taste, and said: "But soak it in sea water, get up and dry it, and rub it, it seems that there is salt on the body, but to harvest so much salt, the sea water will be led to the ground. Is it really okay to bask in the sun?"

The crown prince had never seen the sea, and when he heard the words, his heart moved, "Father, why don't you go to Qingzhou to have a look."

The emperor frowned.

Wei Zhi looked at the Prince's increasingly determined face, and then came out: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has become a lot more stable in the past two years, and he has experience in supervising the country. Why don't he let His Highness go to Qingzhou and experience it as well. People's lives are hard."

Old Master Tang said: "If Your Majesty is worried, send more imperial troops to protect it. Now that the world is stable, are you still afraid of bandits and robbers?"

The emperor also thought about it. The boss is not the third child. He will manage the entire country in the future. He can't stay in the capital and watch the sky all the time. Although he has taken him out to inspect people's livelihood in recent years, he has no chance to go out on his own. .

It's better to go out this time, he just took a look at his character.

The prince has done a good job in supervising the country twice, especially in the Eastern Expedition last year. He and Wei Zhi cooperated very well and managed the government in an orderly manner. His ability is beyond doubt. of morals.

The emperor said to the prince: "Since you want to observe the people's livelihood, you can't just go to Qingzhou. You can go to Haizhou along the way, but you can only go to Haizhou to see the seaside situation there, and you are not allowed to cross the sea. The state continues south."

Further down from Haizhou is the boundary of Jiangnan.

Although the emperor wanted the prince to experience the difficulties of people's livelihood, he did not want him to take too much risk.

So it's best to stop in moderation.

The prince was a little excited and asked, "Father, when is the best time for me to set off?"

The emperor glanced at him and said: "What's the hurry, I will discuss this matter with Yin Li and then talk about it, even if I understand the people's feelings, I should find a better reason, I will arrange some people for you, your Zhan Shifu will also Pick some people to take with you."

The prince could only patiently answer "yes".

The emperor turned his head and said to the old man of Tang: "I think it is better to let the prince inspect the local government affairs and official management, and your censor station will send a censor to follow, the punishment department... I don't think they are suitable, but it is good to know the crane. "

Lord Tang thought for a while and then said, "The dog of the minister's generation is grateful to His Majesty for cultivation."

The emperor smiled and said: "You are a tiger father without a dog, and I have heard Yin Li praise him a lot. Since he became Yin Li's deputy and took office as Shao Yin, the crime detection rate in Gyeonggi has increased, but the crime rate has dropped. few."

Although Old Tang was proud in his heart, he still said a few words of modesty.

The monarchs and ministers temporarily ignored the secrets and talked about their own family affairs.

It wasn't until Wei Zhi became impatient that the emperor gave him a small bottle on the side and said, "This is what Zhou Man brought back to Aiqing, and Aiqing has a look."

Wei Zhi saw that the bottle had been opened, and he didn't mind it, he just stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and glanced at it, stretched out his fingers and poured out the small note inside.

The emperor called out, "Gu Zhong—"

Gu Zhong came in, glanced at it and smiled: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yuanzheng is already waiting outside."

"Let him in."

See you tomorrow
