Chapter 246: Forbidden Salt

However, he already has a fiefdom, and unlike other princes, he will never agree.

He wanted to take advantage of the overall situation and choose the prince's concubine first.

"Your Highness might as well discuss with the emperor,"

The sixth prince discussed with the emperor, but the emperor didn't know who to choose for a while.

Originally, the two Shi family were the best candidates, but they were both married, so there was no point.

"Father, if the princess is not chosen well, even if the father feels sorry for his son and chooses everything for him, he will still not be as good as the second prince," he said aggrievedly.

The emperor sent him to his fiefdom, saying that it was to protect him, but in fact it also harmed him and made him lose the opportunity to gain a foothold in the capital.

Even the third emperor brother is better than him. In this case, how can he inherit the throne in the future?

The emperor began to think deeply, "Don't worry, my father will not treat you badly!"

Looking at the sixth prince who looked like the deceased queen, he wanted to hold everything in front of him.

However, I don’t know what happened during this period. Many things were obviously arranged, but the result was not satisfactory.

After Gu Jingyu got married, he never appeared in the palace.

Today I was still recruited into the palace by the emperor.

After seeing the ceremony, the emperor glanced at him and said, "Princess Mei is seriously ill, don't disturb him in the future!"

Gu Jingqi was slightly stunned, then possessed himself and said, "Yes, I have recorded it."

This is because he can't bear to give up the money from the Mei family, and he is afraid that Princess Mei will give it to An'er.

"Okay, I'm not a stingy person in a garden, but you know, the treasury is empty, and without the support of the Prince Mei, I'm struggling," the emperor casually said the facts that everyone knows to appease people.88

Gu Jingqi closed his eyes slightly and listened, but he felt extremely disdainful.

Knowing that Prince Mei has done so much, he actually asked Princess Mei to die in order to steal everything from the Mei Mansion. Who dares to be loyal to those who have revenge in such a kindness?

"Emperor, the national treasury is empty. I have a way to temporarily relieve it," Gu Jingqi suddenly said.

"What's the solution?" he asked in surprise.

"Salt," Gu Jingqiu said, "The emperor can ban private salt, mainly official salt, and then order it in various prefectures and cities. In this way, more people eat salt, the treasury will have more income."

Knowing that his wife handed over the salt-making method, he carried forward it and gave some conflicts between the court and the aristocratic family.

The emperor is too idle, not good either.

His proposal made the emperor very moved.

Everyone eats official salt, how much income will be?

He was moved but did not dare to act. "The governments have been making private salt for countless years. If I issued an order, it may attract opposition from all parties."

"The emperor, the private salt is coarse and bitter, which is completely different from snow salt. As long as the price is appropriate, the people will definitely choose snow salt." After comparing the two, you can know that it is better.

Although this is to provoke the emperor and the aristocratic family, he is also to the people's concerns.

Originally, the salt-making technique provided by An'er would benefit the people, but he found that only the villages around the capital might still spread to Xiantao City, but it was not involved in the further distance.

The local gentry tried their best to stop them and were unwilling to invade their territory.

In this way, the people there will suffer.

The emperor finally compromised for the interests of it, "Tomorrow, I will let them discuss it."
