1079. Abduct famous ministers to help
Li Pojun took out a box in the drawer again, which contained several private seals, took out a small jade seal and stamped it, and the bright red seal was signed, and when the ink was dry, he handed it to Gao Jifu, and said with a smile: "Ji Fu and accept it."
Gao Jifu shuddered and took this thin piece of paper, and looked carefully at the four people who were "cautious and diligent, and upright for a while", his expression was very excited, and he bowed down and said: "The minister really doesn't dare to be so praised by His Royal Highness, thank Your Highness for giving me words."
"It's just a word, it's time for dinner, why don't Ji Fu go to the cafeteria to eat together?" Li Pojun waved his hand and smiled, looked at the sky and said directly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited him to dinner, which was not easy to refuse, Gao Jifu thanked him, and put the word in his arms in a good voice.
In the canteen, the sergeants had already come to take turns to eat, and when they saw Li Pojun, they were not surprised, so they all bowed and went to eat for themselves.
Li Pojun taught Gao Jifu to make a meal, there are not many dishes, a simple one meat, two vegetables and one soup, "There are fewer dishes in the canteen, which are quite simple, don't blame Ji Fu." Li Pojun sucked the bone winter melon soup and said directly.
Gao Jifu was still a little stunned, and when he heard Li Pojun speak, he was also busy saying: "Your Highness is so respectful that he still eats with the soldiers here, why can't the ministers, His Highness governs the army, just like Wu Zi eats with the soldiers, it is really respectable."
Li Pojun smiled and didn't answer, chatting casually, Li Pojun's sudden inspiration moved, and when he saw Gao Jifu, who was sitting straight and meticulous in his meal, he had an idea.
"Ji Fu knows that the imperial court wants to change the salt law?" Li Pojun also led the topic and said.
"Salt law? The minister only entered Beijing today, but he had never heard of it. Salt cares for people's livelihood, but I don't know how this salt law will be changed? Gao Jifu also looked surprised and asked directly.
Li Pojun didn't care about what he ate, he said while eating: "In recent years, salt merchants have become more and more rampant, the price of salt has fluctuated too much, and the wealth is moving. The imperial court wants to reorganize the salt market and recollect the salt tax."
"It should be like this, it should have been like this a long time ago, Your Highness doesn't know, the minister has lived in Texas for a long time, eats more sea salt, the land of Qilu is close to the sea, it has been a salt-producing land since ancient times, but the price of salt around the salt-producing land is also changing every three days, and the quality is uneven, refined salt and inferior salt are also sold indiscriminately, the salt market is in chaos, not to mention other remote salt-producing places, the salt market should have been rectified a long time ago, and those black-hearted salt merchants who have lost their conscience should be punished." Hearing Li Pojun's words, Gao Jifu high-fived and praised.
Then he asked curiously: "Dare to ask Your Highness how this salt law should be changed?" Will the Wei and Jin salt laws be reinstated or a new law will be introduced? ”
"The imperial court decided to implement the new law of "civil system and official collection, commercial transportation and commercial sales", dividing salt households in salt-producing areas, setting up salt supervisors, and setting up permanent liquidation positions with 20,000 stone of salt storage to stabilize salt prices, and setting up ...... in salt-producing areas in various places." Li Pojun told Gao Jifu about the general content of the salt law.
Anyway, the imperial court has already passed the court meeting, if nothing else, according to the super efficiency of the imperial court, it will be promulgated in the world tomorrow, Gao Jifu is also a credible person, Li Pojun still wants to fool him, there is no need to hide it.
After hearing Li Pojun's words, Gao Jifu was inexplicably excited, and he high-fived and praised, "Seconds, it's really seconds, this eight-character salt method is simple and feasible, and it can take into account the court, the people, and the businessmen to the greatest extent, benefiting the country and the people, and also benefiting the business, which is really a three-pronged policy, and the person who proposed this eight-character salt method is really clever, and he can be my teacher."
After that, he also looked at Li Pojun with admiration in his eyes and knew: "Your Highness, can you tell me which virtuous person can propose this salt method?" Another day, Ji Fu will come to visit him and ask for advice."
"Ahem...... cough", Li Pojun was drinking the soup, choking when he heard the words, and some couldn't cry or laugh.
At this time, Zhang Wenjun, who had just come over to eat, also came closer, and he also smiled when he heard Gao Jifu's words, put down the dinner plate and said with a smile: "The power of the virtuous is far away in front of the sky, why do the people of Gao She still have to ask each other?" ”。
Gao Jifu was stunned, looked at Zhang Wenjun, who was funny, and then looked at Li Pojun, who was crying and laughing, and was also surprised, and got up and said: "It turned out to be the handwriting of His Royal Highness, and the minister admires it so much."
Looking at Gao Jifu who was shocked, Li Pojun was also funny, Gao Jifu was shocked several times this afternoon, and his face was red and excited at every turn, and his psychological tolerance was really a little low.
"It's not a big deal, Ji Fu sat down and talked." Li Pojun stretched out his hand and smiled helplessly, and then said, "Ji Fu thinks this salt method is feasible?" ”。
"It is feasible, of course it is feasible, and the minister believes that it is not unprecedented, but at least in one or two hundred years, this salt law can be the superior law." Gao Jifu advocated this salt method with a serious face, and looked at Li Pojun with burning eyes, it seemed that he was a fan of Li Pojun.
"Is Ji Fu willing to help me implement the salt law?" Li Pojun raised his eyebrows again and asked. Anyway, Gao Jifu didn't come out in the Zhenguan period, so it was better to dig it out in advance.
Gao Jifu was stunned for a moment, and then bowed straight and said: "The minister is willing to do his best to help His Highness."
Li Pojun's eyes froze when he heard this, and Zhang Wenjun's eyes also showed a fine light, as if he was surprised and defensive. Gao Jifu, this is a direct match! only said that he was helping His Highness, but he didn't say that he was helping His Highness to implement the salt law, which means that as long as Li Pojun does something, Gao Jifu will help him, which means that he is standing in line.
Li Pojun was overjoyed in his heart, although he was not interested in this gang, but it was beautiful that someone supported him.
"The people of Zhongshu are on the five products, and this time the salt law is implemented to set up the salt and iron envoys, but they are only the five products, and there are two salt and iron deputy envoys, which are from the five products, if Ji Fu comes to help me, it will be demoted." Li Pojun raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Gao Jifu's face turned straight when he heard this, "Even if there is no official and no quality, the minister is willing to go."
Li Pojun laughed when he heard this, wiped his mouth, got up and patted Gao Jifu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, very good, with Ji Fu's help, it's like a fish in water." I will go and ask the saint for his order in the evening, and transfer you to serve as the deputy envoy of salt and iron. I don't know if Ji Fu has a practical need to hand over in Zhongshu Province? ”
Gao Jifu shook his head and said straightly: "The minister is only on temporary duty, and he has been away from Beijing for three years, and there is no more affairs."
"Very good, let's go, go to the city and rest for a day, and tomorrow morning you will come to the East Palace to meet another colleague." Li Pojun and Gao Jifu entered the city together, and then separated.
The Bohai Gao family has a big business, and Gao Jifu is also a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and he has a house in the capital, and his family has gone home first, and he has returned to the Gao Mansion outside Xinchangfang.
Early the next morning, Li Pojun woke up and finished washing, and then ordered: "Liu Ren of the Household Department will come to the Guangtian Temple quickly."
