"The price, set the price of salt low! It is so low that the court does not organize this kind of silver, and other businessmen have lost interest! Liu Hong gradually glared at Li Banghua and said.

I have never heard of a country that lacks salt, salt should not be a shackle to the people, and there is no doubt that the national finances that need to make money from salt are problematic.

According to Liu Hongchuan's vision, the salt government was reformed, and the salt mills in various parts of the imperial court still produced salt as usual, and the quality must be guaranteed, and the salt transportation department was specially responsible for the operation of salt mills in various places.

The government set up a special salt shop in the county-level territory, which was responsible for selling salt produced in the salt mills, and set a limit on the amount of salt purchased, so as to prevent speculative traders.

The other is to limit the price, reduce the price of salt above the edge of the cost, so that the people will have a comparison of eating salt, even if there are businessmen who go to dump it themselves, and the price is sold high, no one wants it.

Moreover, the salt monopolized by the government is a benchmark in terms of quality, and a red line is set on the price, and anyone who crosses the line will be fined and confiscated at the least, and the house will be confiscated and eaten in prison at the worst.

According to this routine, nothing cannot be changed, but this is tantamount to a catastrophe for the officials of the salt transportation departments in various places.

Officials all know the amazing wealth contained in salt, and Liu Hong's trick is a black tiger to dig out his heart, and directly turn the world's fat difference into a clear water yamen.

It's just that Liu Hong gradually didn't care, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the Salt Transportation Division should have been a Qingshui Yamen.

Under his initiative, the salaries of officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty can already support a large family, if it is still not greedy enough, then there is nothing to do, peel the skin and grass to understand?

It is not easy for officials to study hard for ten years, is it not enough to give you glory and power, and then give you an income that is better than that of ordinary people?

Do you really want to make a lot of money and go into business? When the official of wool? Then just pay taxes to the court honestly.

Simple and rude, not accepting heads-up, of course, it is you who single-handedly Ming millions of troops.

That's the good thing about the empire, you don't have to have so many rules and regulations, you either obey or you die.

Liu Hong gradually explained, Zhu Cihong and the cabinet officials all understood, although Zhu Cihong still couldn't figure out why he didn't want to put the silver, but Liu Hong gradually assured him of the huge benefits of customs and tariffs, which made Zhu Cihong feel very comfortable.

The small revenue of the salt administration is a drop in the bucket compared to the tax blueprint described by Liu Hongji.

And Li Banghua no longer insisted, although this guy was known as Li Cannon, but he found that most of the time he couldn't refute Liu Hongjian in political affairs.

The reason for talking about the unbreakable ancestral system is no longer tenable, because Liu Hongjian and the Emperor Taishang have long been the destroyers of the ancestral system, but Xiao Zhu is also happy to worry, because of Chongzhen's criminal record, the destruction of the ancestral system has also become the ancestral system.

The most uncomfortable should be the rookies of the imperial court led by Zhang Tianlu, a scholar of Dongge University, these guys have been in the prince's James Mansion before, and they have been spared from Liu Hongji's various Hongmen banquets.

At the same time, because he is a close minister of the crown prince, he is a real potential stock, and he is very sought after by melon-eating businessmen who don't know the truth in other places, and secretly I don't know how many dirty PY transactions there are.

And the commercial tax and salt administration almost cut off all their foreign income, and made them have a reputation for collecting money and not doing anything.

It's just that the situation is stronger than people, Zhu Cihong has no opinions, no one dares to jump out to play stand-alone, and they don't dare to provoke such ruthless people like Anguo Junwang, and they can't afford to provoke them.

In this way, the reform of the salt administration has miraculously operated after experiencing thunder and rain in the imperial court, and the world's first fat and poor salt transportation division has also become the world's first clear water yamen from the beginning.

Of course, this credit is naturally recorded on the head of the new emperor Zhu Cihong, and as soon as the edict came, the people of the entire Ming Dynasty cheered.

The price of salt was reduced from 14 wen per catty to 5 wen per catty, and some people couldn't believe that this was something that the imperial court could do.

It's just that they can't believe it, and the door of each county-level salt shop is posted with a notice from the imperial court, and if the price of salt is higher than the price set by the imperial court, you can go to the local government to report it, and the imperial court will severely punish you.

The people were grateful for the favor of the new emperor, and many of them gathered at the entrance of Yandian and the county government to kneel and thank the emperor's benefactor, and when the fans of Dongchang reached Zhu Cihong's ears, Zhu Cihong's eyes were moist.

As a newly enthroned emperor, who doesn't want to make some political achievements to teach the people to praise, the previous conquest of the Rakshasa Kingdom and the opening of Beihai Province have not had such an effect.

"Father, have you seen that? Erchen has been praised by the people, Erchen will be a good emperor who will make a life for the people of the world, and Erchen will not let you down! Zhu Cihong shouted in his heart.

Da Dahai, who has been promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the supervisor of the Dongchang factory, is also in a good mood, although he did not do the matter of Yan Zheng, but the news came from him, and he is the one who has the greatest credit.

"Emperor, just now there was news from the Ministry of Rites, saying that envoys from many countries came together, bringing tribute to congratulate you on your admission to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the slave maid thought that this was a good thing, and he should be the first to inform the emperor."

The huge sea bent over and smiled like a chrysanthemum.

The news from the East Factory was far faster than that of the Outer Court, and the people from the Ministry of Rites estimated that it would take a while for the news to come over.

"Is there such a thing? That's great! Zhu Cihong's face was full of excitement.

How can Zhu Cihong not be happy, since the three major expeditions of the Wanli Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's finances have plummeted, and internal and external troubles have followed, and the Ming Dynasty has not seen the scene of all countries coming to the dynasty for decades.

"Spread my will, the good students of the Ministry of Religious Rites will entertain the envoys, and when I go to the court tomorrow, I will ceremoniously receive the envoys of various countries!" Zhu Cihong said happily.

"Slave obeys!" The huge sea smiled and bent down to take the lead.

In the morning of the next day, Zhu Cihong specially selected the court meeting in the Huangji Palace, and then used the fastest efficiency to deal with the affairs of the court, and announced that the envoys of various countries entered the palace.

Not only Zhu Cihong was curious about these foreign envoys, but also the birds and beasts standing in two rows in the hall, the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty had not come together for decades.

Less leaning, seven or eight strange-looking foreigners wore strange costumes and entered the Imperial Palace.

"The Special Envoy of the Netherlands, Alberta. Austin meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The Great Franc Envoy Anthony. Lattimore meets with His Majesty the Ming Emperor. ”

"Francha's envoy, Hans. Deacenson meets with His Majesty the Ming Emperor. ”

"Italy's special envoy for Asia, Abraham. Hodgson meets with His Majesty the Ming Emperor. ”

"Austrian envoy Alex. Barry meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty. ”
