When he got home, Liu Mingqi had just had supper and was about to go out for a walk to see his own workshop. Someone came from the palace here.

It was said that Emperor Jinghe asked him to go there.

Recently, Emperor Jinghe has been busy with disaster relief, and has ignored Liu Mingqi for a long time.

Suddenly I came to find him, but I couldn't make any money for a while.

When Liu Mingqi entered the palace, arrived at the imperial study room, and saw the emperor, his first words were: "Boy, what are you talking about today? Didn't I explain to you? You are not allowed to talk about the salt-making matter! Now, it's all over the capital!"

Last time Liu Mingqi was asking salt merchants to eat 10 million servings of salt, she told Emperor Jing He about the salt making.

At that time, Emperor Jing He was shocked and quickly stopped him and told him not to say anything, otherwise it would cause chaos in the world.

As a result, the emperor never expected that Liu Mingqi would say so easily, and she said it in front of so many people at the tea party.

The news quickly spread, and Jing Hedi, who was eating, immediately slapped the table and asked someone to call the brat over.

That is, Jinghedi.

If you change to another emperor, you must first drag down and beat him up, and then let Liu Mingqi kneel down and speak.

Liu Mingqi smiled slightly when she heard this, "Your Majesty, is it a group of new Jinshi from the Hanlin Academy who petitioned for memorials?"

"It's you!" The emperor was so angry that he used slang, but was suddenly shocked: "Oh, yes, if they get involved again, wouldn't the court be even more chaotic?"

The Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy were all young people and were not deeply involved with those interested parties, so it was entirely possible to submit memorials with all their passion and apply to abolish the salt system and replace it with the ticketed salt system.

If that were the case, it would be really difficult for the court to deal with it in a low-key manner.

Jing Hedi Shu looked at Liu Mingqi, "Mingqi, tell me honestly, did you do it on purpose?"

Although the emperor is kind and generous, he is not a fool.

If Liu Mingqi accidentally said the salt system of the ticket, then he would definitely not talk about the memorials of the Jinshi.

Once the two things were connected, Jing Hedi knew that there was a ghost among them.

"certainly."

Liu Mingqi said undeniably.

"Why?"

"Because the court is short of money!" Liu Mingqi said, "The temporary salt intake money from Jiangnan is now 12 million taels of silver. Hasn't it been used for 5 million taels? This does not include subsidies for post-disaster reconstruction and other subsidies. It would be good to last until the end of the year!

This means that the autumn fu that has just been put into the warehouse this year cannot be preserved. Whether it is grain or tax, it has to be invested in these broken stalls.

The question is that this time, what if a similar disaster occurs next year? After further consuming the savings of the court, will the court still be able to continue to deal with it?"

Liu Mingqi just said, "When I was destroyed in the Ming Dynasty, it was not that I should have died, but that I was just that God had destroyed me!"

Which dynasty will cause various winds, freezing, drought, flood, locusts and other disasters that lasted for decades, like the Ming Dynasty?

Without these, even if it is strong, no matter how strong a woman is, she will not be able to break through the Great Wall defense line.

Their greatest possibility is that they will only be like thorns, after decades of prosperity, and then we will be divided and defeated.

Liu Mingqi lives in the Dakang Dynasty now, and he does not want to see disasters come one after another, thus directly destroying this already good country.

Therefore, he must help find a way.

To put it bluntly, the most important and most urgent thing to solve difficulties is to have more money.

As long as a country has money, most of the problems can be solved.

Even if it was the Song Dynasty, it was still at the hands of the invincible Dayuan in the world. It is impossible to say that others cannot fight.

Think about it carefully, how many generations of heroic rulers such as Temujin have destroyed hundreds of countries of all sizes in decades. The seemingly cowardly Song Dynasty is almost the last one to be destroyed. Can I last last for so long? How dare you say that Song Dynasty is cowardly?

I can even beat Da Meng, the last big knight to death!

Still weak!?

And what support is my Song Dynasty?

Isn't it just money!

So Liu Mingqi had already figured out a solution to help Da Kangchao find money.

...

When Emperor Jinghe heard Liu Mingjing's words, his mind suddenly felt that "it was indeed this tired boy's demeanor."

But this kid is quite reasonable. Those worries happen to be the prime ministers of the court and the place where he is worried.

"But no matter how short of money, the court cannot change the current salt administration system and turn to the salt system." Emperor Jinghe first sealed Liu Mingqi's words, "No matter how much you plan, how much you trigger discussion and writing a letter, it will be useless."

"I see."

Liu Mingqi's first stance.

"Then are you still doing useless work there?"

"This is not useless." The young man shook his head, "Your Majesty, I want to build momentum."

"Build momentum?"

"Yes, build momentum." Liu Mingqi said erudibly: "Let the court form a heated discussion atmosphere inside and outside, and then let the news spread to Jiangnan. When everyone discusses this and says this, are the salt merchants in a hurry?"

"No way? The court didn't say that." Emperor Jinghe said.

"It is precisely because the court has not expressed its opinion that they panic." Liu Mingqi said, "Salt merchants are all smart people. They will never sit still and wait for the people in the court to decide their fate. Therefore, they will definitely make moves in advance and find various relationships to influence the court, so that this ticket and salt system will never be implemented."

"Isn't that the truth?" said Emperor Jing, "Their connections are very wide, and they can quickly understand the meaning of the court, so they won't panic."

"This time may not be true." The young man laughed, "We can make moves in advance. And your Majesty, there is a big traitor among them!"

Jing Hedi understood in seconds: "Jia Ziming?"

Liu Mingqi nodded: "Yes! It's him!"

Jia Ziming, the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou, actively cooperated to surrender this time when purchasing temporary salt intake. Not only did he buy three million taels of gold at one go, but he also donated grain worth one million taels of silver.

Bai Heng looked at him and promised that the emperor would personally reward him.

Emperor Jinghe received so many benefits, so of course he did not treat him unfairly. He directly wrote the plaque and inscription on "Ji Shan Family" and sent it to Jiangnan.

It is said that the day when the plaque arrived in Yangzhou through the Grand Canal, Jia Ziming's family went out and welcomed the inscriptions of the imperial gifts back home with great fanfare and respectfully. He immediately found a skilled craftsman to create the plaque and hung it on the inner hall of his house.

In fact, salt merchants in Yangzhou not only bought temporary salt intakes, but also saw Jia Ziming donating grain, but also donated some more or less.

But in the end, only Jia Ziming got the greatest benefit. Everyone immediately understood that this guy had become a traitor to the salt merchants.

But no one can do anything to him.

In addition to the emperor's gift, Jiangnan Governor Liu Renhuai also rushed to the Jia Mansion as soon as possible. After talking cordially with Jia Ziming, he also wrote a "Salt Merchants' Disaster Relief Inscription" and stood at the door of the Jia Mansion.

Everyone knows that the Governor Liu Renhuai of Jiangnan has a long-term future, and the worst is the deputy prime minister. If there is basically no problem, the prime minister will not be able to escape.

Liu Renhuai is only forty-five years old this year, and he still has at least twenty years of official career.

Can you have such a good friend, will you be jealous of it?

At least the generation of the Jia family is guaranteed!

To put it bluntly, according to the practice of the Dakang Dynasty, with the plaques and inscriptions given by the emperor, even if the Jia family is in the end, the next emperor will leave them some guarantees for a small wealthy family.

At that time, the news that came back from Jiangnan was that several big salt merchants cursed, and hated that they did not make up for the purpose of buying more and donating more, but in the end, the old thief Jia was in vain.

"Your Majesty, since Jia Ziming has become a stranger in everyone's eyes, we might as well use him again." Liu Mingqi said, "Let the court spread the news. Your Majesty, you are very satisfied with Jia Ziming, so even if it is a ticket salt system, Jia Ziming will occupy no less than the previous share of ticket salt.

For the rest of the people, we not only do not guarantee the original share, but also let them compete with the rich people from other places and make a complete innovation."

Emperor Jing He blinked: "Can this work?"

"If you think it's not enough, you might as well let Governor Liu go to his house one or two more times." Liu Mingqi said, "Then Governor Liu came out of Jia Ziming's house, went to the Salt Administration Office, summoned other big salt merchants, and told them firmly that the court had no such plan, so that they would not worry."

Jing Hedi laughed when he heard this, "Mingqi, you are not old, but you are very bad!"

The young man was helpless, "Your Majesty, I am fighting for our great prosperity. Did you say that hurt my young heart too much?"

The emperor smiled, "That's right, you're thinking very well."

"Of course."

Liu Mingqi said, "It was precisely because I thought that this matter could not start from the court that I deliberately chose such an occasion and first formed a folk discussion.

When the court later wanted to deny it, it can be said that it had nothing to do with them, it was all talked about by some boring people themselves."

"Do you think the salt merchants will panic and thus make more concessions to the court?"

"It is certainly true that they make a lot of money every year now. Even if they add some salt to them, the impact will not be too great. As long as we don't think about fishing out of the water."

"Liu Renhuai believes that it is more appropriate to increase the salt intake of 6 million taels of silver every year. What do you think?"

Listening to the emperor's sudden words, Liu Mingqi also reacted.

It seems that the big guys in the court have also talked about this matter, and even Liu Renhuai, who is far away in Jiangnan, has already participated.

Think about it, too.

What business can make money better than salt?

Even weaving is not possible, the salt industry is simply like a business without a foundation!

If you want to get the most money as fast as possible, only salt management can do it!

This locust plague raised 12 million taels of silver in less than a month. Isn’t that how it came about?

...

Note: The third generation of the Great Mongol Khan Mengge was the last commander of the entire clan recognized by all the Khanates. Later, Kublai Khan, because of his improper status, could only be the emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and other countries passed down by Temujin's children and grandchildren, etc., had no direct relationship with him.

This Mengge died in the Diaoyu City in Sichuan, our Song Dynasty. Even after the fall of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty still did not capture the Diaoyu City. In the end, Kublai Khan vowed not to take revenge, and Diaoyu City put down his weapons.
