Chapter 593 The curtain of the salt administration change has been opened
The Fang family was quiet late at night, and only the bedroom was lit up a little.
"Husband...can you accompany me back to my parents' home tomorrow?"
Zhang Shuhui asked panting.
Fang Xing was furious: "You can still be distracted? Look at the trick!"
After some trouble, Fang Xing was dismayed and was just trying to maintain the frequency of his breathing.
Zhang Shuhui leaned on Fang Xing's chest, feeling the beating under her chest, and laughed and said, "Husband, do you want to punish me again?"
"What a fairy!"
Of course, Fang Xing lost but not lost, so he regrouped...
Fang Xing fell asleep after scoring twice. Zhang Shuhui curled up in his arms, reached out to touch his chin, and looked gentle.
A smart woman will not ask her husband, she will use her tenderness to resolve her husband's anxiety and anxiety.
...
The next day, he woke up before dawn. He went to the yard for a few laps. When he came back, he deliberately took off his top and proudly showed off his six-pack abs.
Breakfast is fried raw. After taking a bite, the meat fragrance spreads in your mouth, rich and endless aftertaste.
Fang Xing ate ten of them in anger. When he was about to eat another one, a maid outside said that Xue Huamin asked for a visit.
"Let him wait."
Fang Xing put down Shengjian, washed his hands, Zhang Shuhui brought the clothes and helped him change them with Xiaobai.
"Xue Huamin is not an outsider, so there is no need to cherish it so much."
Fang Xing hooked Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai's chins, took advantage of their shock, and kissed each of them quickly, and then went to the front hall with a smile.
As soon as they met, Xue Huamin informed him of a big news.
"Second aunt, the Duke of the State was recruited into the palace last night, and His Majesty intends to let go of the salt ray."
"Is the Ministry of Revenue short of money?" Fang Xing's first reaction was that the court and the central government had a shortage of money, and it was not a small amount of money. Otherwise, Zhu Di would not give up the opening of China and France, which would be of great benefit to the border.
"My second son-in-law is right!"
Xue Huamin sincerely admires Fang Xing’s reaction.
"No wonder……"
Fang Xing remembered the message that he had been circulated yesterday afternoon. The "Neople" should have known the news first, so he came to warn Fang Xing.
"Second aunt, the Duke of the State said that you went to Yangzhou twice and knew a lot about the salt merchants. Your Majesty should ask you for advice."
Xue Huamin smiled dryly and said, "The Duke of the People said that this matter concerns the financial path of many people, so it is best for you to get through it."
The so-called missing is to make Fang Xing keep silent or vaguely stand, but don’t object.
"I see."
Fang Xing looked expressionless and asked someone to send Xue Huamin away, and then received an order to let him enter the palace.
When Fang woke up in the palace, he found that there were not many people today, but they were very luxurious.
Zhu Di was present, and there were several auxiliary bachelors and six ministers.
When the Ming Dynasty discussed important state affairs, it never expanded. It would first coordinate among these important officials before it would be made public.
Fang Xing’s identity is a bit embarrassing, neither civil nor military.
Jian Yi looked at Fang Xing curiously, and was a little puzzled by Zhu Di's intention to wake up.
Zhu Di said lightly: "The Ministry of Revenue is in short supply. I want to let go of the salt supply. Please wait and say it."
The Ministry of Personnel was the head of the six ministries, so Jian Yi expressed his opinion first.
"Your Majesty, the original salt entries were based on the opening of the middle. Although it solved the difficulty of transporting grain in the frontier, the Ministry of Revenue also lost this tax. I believe that a solution must be found that the best of both worlds is not easily shaken."
This is the old saying of planning the country.
Zhu Di nodded slightly, and Jin Zhong said, "Your Majesty, it is not easy to cultivate in the north. Unless a large number of migrant populations pass, it will be difficult to ensure the food for the soldiers. As long as the food transportation is solved, I will have no objection."
As the Minister of War, Jin Zhong could only speak from the perspective of his job. If there were too many, it would be suspected of crossing the border.
Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, the canal has been opened. From now on, the transportation of grain in the south and the north can reduce a lot of losses, and the salt induction can indeed change."
This is true, and it also means showing good deeds to Xia Yuanji.
Xia Yuanji was busy all day long in allocating resources. Seeing that he was much more haggard, he hesitated: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, salt turbulence has been distributed in the middle. If it could be paid in a discounted manner, it would be good to transport grain from the south to the north... but it would have to do so now."
Jin Youzi was not interested in the words of Xia Yuanji like that, but he was not going to trek into this muddy water.
Hu Guang made his last speech. He had already considered it in the time just now, and seemed calm at this moment.
"Your Majesty, the population in the north is growing, the canal is opened, and the Ministry of Revenue is short of money and money, and it can be seen that changing the salt induction is urgent. Please do it."
This is the final speech. Even if there is no prime minister now, the gradually formed atmosphere has made Hu Guang already have the consciousness of prime minister.
Zhu Di Fuxu looked at Fang Xing: "Xinghe Bo went to Yangzhou several times and knew a lot about salt merchants. What do you think?"
Salt administration has been the number one major event in all dynasties. People should not be free of salt for a day, and without salt, they will be powerless.
A country cannot be without salt for a day, and without salt, the country will be poor.
Salt tax is the largest, most popular and most stable tax.
Although it was the first to develop salt in the middle of the development process, it was actually equivalent to paying taxes indirectly, and this tax was used on the garrisons in various places that were difficult to maintain their own food and grass.
Only then did everyone notice that Fang Xing was staring blankly on the side. Jin Youzi smiled: "Xing and Bo both civil and military, I believe they can have some deafening insights."
Promote your sister!
Fang Xing glanced at Jin Youzi coldly, expressed disdain for this ridicule and aggression, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty, can you ask if you are planning to sell salt indicia for silver?"
Zhu Di nodded. This was a question he had been thinking about for a long time. If he continued to exchange food for salt, the Ming Dynasty would still be too low.
The current problem of the Ming Dynasty was that there was enough food, but there was a shortage of currency.
This has something to do with the habits of the Han people: the common people will put away some money when they have it, and some will even keep the money at home for generations.
The same is true for those businessmen, and they also like to put away their wealth.
These habits have led to less and less money circulating on the Ming Dynasty market, and a large amount of copper coins and treasure banknotes are issued every year.
"Your Majesty, I think salt is money."
Fang Xing looked around for a week, but no one had any objections.
"So what does the salt merchant do?"
Fang Xing’s smile was shocking, “I think they were just transporting money to our Ming Dynasty, and in the process they received a lot of rewards, and they were rich enough to rival the country.”
Hu Guang's eyelids were beating, and Xia Yuanji's hands were unconsciously kneading the corners of his clothes...
"They just ship and sell, and the most fundamental production is not involved..."
Fang Xing waved his arm violently and asked, "Why should they be rich enough to rival a country?"
Zhu Di was shocked. He remembered the gains of Fang Xing's salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture at that time. It was a bit exaggerated to say that they were rich enough to compete with the country, but if they accumulate accordingly, the financial resources of the salt merchants would determine the direction of a country.
"What did they do? It deserves such a generous reward from my Daming!"
