I don't want to be king

However, the current situation is different from the past, and things are urgent and simple, including the dowry gift from Lin Yi.

"Sir, is this a little less?"

Chen Jingzhi was in charge of all matters related to the wedding with the prince, and it was time for Nazheng. The manager Hong just gave him two boxes, and there were only some silk and joss sticks in them. What does this mean?

Do you have 200 taels of silver?

Common people's homes are not so shabby!

"A lot,"

Dai Wang glanced at Hong Ying and said with a smile, "Before I, Daliang Kingdom is fighting with Wadan, all expenses are huge, and the regent is an example for all people, so it is right to be diligent and thrifty.

Laying out and wasting will chill the hearts of the soldiers in front. "

I am afraid that only those who know Lin Yi know the real reason.

mean!

More importantly, this Prince Heshun is not worthy of generosity!

After all, it was embarrassing that the wealth that was once ten thousand Guan was gone so easily!

poor person must have something mean!

"On behalf of the king, it is true,"

Hong Ying smiled and said, "Lord Chen, let's do it this way, and tell the county king clearly, the county king is a reasonable person, so he probably won't blame him."

For this kind of matter, he didn't need to discuss with their prince at all, and he could decide for himself.

If you really want to give too much, their prince will definitely scold him.

What their prince hates the most is prodigal stuff.

"The officer understands,"

Chen Jingzhi said in disbelief, "Then the officer will send it over here?"

The hundred and ten people beat gongs and drums all the way to Hu's house to deliver the dowry, and only carried two boxes?

King Heshun doesn't care, so what should the people of Ankang City think?

This is too outrageous, right?

He was so embarrassed to send it to the Hu family!

Shame!

This is the prince's wedding!

Hong Ying waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, don't waste the time, you can apply for an appointment in a few days."

"Yes."

Chen Jingzhi bit the bullet and turned around. As soon as he stepped down the steps, he raised his hand stiffly, and then the gongs and drums rang out behind him.

The old twelve looked at Chen Jingzhi's tottering figure and expressed deep sympathy.

This old and cunning minister of Honglu Temple would not be killed so easily.

However, it is entirely possible that he will die of embarrassment!

Shame!

It's the annual autumn harvest season again. Standing on the city wall of Ankang City, you can see patches of golden wheat in the distance.

"It's another bumper year."

As the weather got cooler, Lin Yi had to wear a robe with a long hem, which always hindered him from walking, and before he could walk a few steps, it was covered with dust. He actually missed Sanhe a little bit.

"Thanks to the lord, there was no war this year, and the lord spared them a lot of hard donations. The people spared no effort to open up wasteland, and even planted sweet potatoes and corn on the hills,"

Gan Mao, Minister of the Household Department behind Lin Yi, laughed and said, "With food to eat, there are many fewer beggars in Ankang City now."

"In terms of taxation, continue to reform the system, reduce what should be reduced, and increase what should be increased, especially those rich and powerful families. You are welcome. If you follow the way of my king, you must keep the road money."

Lin Yi said lightly.

Gan Mao bowed and said, "Yes, I will do my best."

Lin Yi continued, "Is the national treasury full now?"

"This……"

After hesitating for a long while, Gan Mao said, "My lord, Hongzhou, Yuezhou, and Jingzhou are exempted from taxation. This expenditure is all supported by Sanhe and Nanzhou. As for the silk, silk, and horses in Wuzhou and Yong'an Grass, salt, and tariffs have not yet been sent to the inner storage."

"I understand what you mean,"

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "These eunuchs are really brave."

The transport depots are divided into internal and external transport depots. The internal transport depots are the private property of the emperor and are managed by eunuchs, while the external transport depots are under the management of the household department.

After his father came to the throne, the internal transport warehouse was unable to make ends meet, so his father sent his trusted eunuchs to various places to open mines and solicit business.

These mine supervisors and tax envoys, relying on the power of his father, opened mines to extract silver, and levied heavy taxes. They did all sorts of evil.

Part of the money went into the internal treasury, and part of it was distributed on the ground.

In the end, it was poor for the household department. The outer shipping warehouse was empty, and the inner shipping warehouse had to be allocated funds if they were short of money.

Now, Yong'an, Wuzhou and other places are all under his control. However, the area is too large and the manpower is not enough. He still can't effectively control it and extend his tentacles to every corner.

We can only rely on the original functional departments to collect part of the tax, and the real bulk of the tax is still in the hands of those mine supervisors and tax envoys.

The current situation in the court is not clear, so these people naturally have no reason to escort the taxes to Ankang City.

Chapter 368 Salt Lesson

Lin Yi has never taken these people into surgery, because his arms are not long enough and the place is stable.

According to his "genius" tax system, the household department is responsible for all the expenses of the empire, and the internal treasury is responsible for paying the generals' salaries, thinking that this can win the hearts of the generals.

Although these tax supervisors are hateful, they still pay normal salaries to battalions, guards, and pacesetters in various places, including Jinling City Chief Soldier Pan Geng. The carrier warehouse is sending out.

Lin Yi was afraid that he would suddenly kill these tax supervisors. At that time, no one would manage the account books, and the finances would be in a mess. Those local officers and soldiers would not be able to receive their salaries, and they would not be able to rebel?

He is not afraid of rebellion, he is simply afraid of trouble.

Moreover, the Daliang Empire has been corrupted to this point, and tinkering with the original foundation is of no avail.

What he needs to do is to rebuild the integrated finance and realize the connection between department and department, army and government, local and central government.

This is a complex systematic process, which cannot be completed overnight.

Therefore, if the fire is imminent, he will not be so anxious.

As long as you don't starve to death.

"Salt class is half of the day, the profit and loss are full and empty, and the national economy is at stake,"

Gan Mao said cautiously, "The old minister suggested canceling the opening of China and France to strengthen the national treasury."

"Cancel opening Chinese law?"

Lin Yi doesn't know much about this. After all, he has been a salted fish these years, and he doesn't care about anything except money.

Unlike the Internet society, even if you don’t search deliberately, there are a lot of news feeds, and it is difficult to know some policies.

"The law of Zhongyan, the army guards the border, the people pay, and the salt lives in it, which is the hub, so it is called Kaizhong,"

Seeing that the prince was still puzzled, Gan Mao said patiently, "When the country was founded, the frontier army was short of food. When Emperor Taizu was in power, he exchanged grain and rice for salt. As long as the merchant transported the grain to the frontier, he could exchange for salt." , Because of the huge profits, there are many followers.

It has been practiced for more than 200 years, and there are many disadvantages. The salt class is getting less and less, and last year it was less than [-] million taels! "

"Understood,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "The supplier system is implemented now, and there is no shortage of food in the frontier, so it's okay to cancel this.

You can find He Jixiang, Gong Xiang and Qi Yong, and you can discuss it together.

In addition, it's time for these salt officials to relocate. Those who are capable will be reused, and those who are corrupt and perverting the law should ransack their homes to use them as military funds. "

He directly thought of King Jin's niece, Han Wenhu, who is rich in salt transportation!

"My lord..."

Gan Mao couldn't believe it!

So simple?

Why don't we discuss it in court?

Is it because you trust yourself with the prince, or because you are wise and decisive with the prince?

Really, he just mentioned it casually, and the princes and princes of the province complained that his corpse was a vegetarian.

I never thought that I would agree with the prince.

And it seems to be very refreshing.

After all, the salt interest is huge, and I don't know how many people were involved. The emperors of all dynasties dare not move lightly, otherwise the country's foundation will be shaken, and the consequences will be disastrous!

At this moment, he is a bit at a loss. If it is rumored that he suggested canceling the opening of Chinese law, will he be cast aside by the world?

He felt that he had to bring more pacesetters when he went out in the future, otherwise he might be beaten to death in the street.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

"Don't be dazed, go quickly,"

Lin Yi couldn't wait, "Put other people's money into your own pocket, it's serious business."

"What the lord said is."

Gan Mao said dumbfounded.

Then he hurriedly withdrew.

As soon as he got down from the city wall, he saw Wei Yishan standing in the middle of the urn with golden beads and red tassels on his head, and next to him was Liu Kan, the commander of the standard guard.

"Master Gan."

Liu Kan bowed his hands politely.

"So it's General Liu,"

Gan Mao politely returned the salute, glanced at Wei Yishan behind him and said, "This general has a very strange face."

"This is General Wei Yishan, who just took office as a garrison of the Beijing camp,"

Liu Kan smiled and said, "General Wei, this is Mr. Gan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the future, I will have to rely on him for food supplies."

Wei Yishan cupped his hands and said, "Lord Gan."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gan Mao went straight into the sedan chair and left.

After Liu Kan waited for him to leave, he turned to Wei Yishan and said, "These old people don't have much fun, but we don't have enough manpower, so we need to keep them. We must be more careful in the future, and don't suffer from them. "

Wei Yishan snorted coldly, "Don't worry, the prince said that with the sword in hand, I have it in the world.

All conspiracies and tricks are ultimately vulnerable to absolute force.

This group of old pedants, let them do whatever they want, I don't believe that they can escape from our grasp. "

"They are all masters at sowing dissension, and I'm afraid they will let you take the blame. The current situation is complicated, and if there is a slight mistake, we can't afford it,"

Liu Kan smiled and said, "It's better to be careful."

"Thank you,"

Wei Yishan put his hand on the handle of the knife, and said proudly, "But the prince is not a fool, and he will not trust these people. They play small tricks to frame others, and they may be the ones who will be unlucky in the end."

Liu Kan nodded and said, "That's true."

They all graduated with honors from Baiyun City No. [-] Middle School. When they were in primary school, they didn't have many classes with the prince, but after middle school, he often gave them lessons.

The class with Wang Ye is simple, humorous, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many of the principles they understand now come from He Wang Ye.

He Wang Ye is their mentor, how could the teacher not trust his students?

"Third Uncle, are you here too?"

While the two were talking, they heard a loud shout, and turned around to see Deng Ke, the shopkeeper of the carpentry workshop, coming in from outside the city.
