[Red Mansion] The Grand Master's Counterattack Road

The shipyard of the Ministry of Industry was followed by Jia Amnesty himself, and the officials in charge did not dare to embezzle the money. The workers naturally worked fast and well. Within a year, [-] ships were already full of cargo, sailing away like Europe.

Originally, when the boat left, Jia Amnesty thought he could take a breather, but another major event happened to the court, that is, the taxation issue in the south of the Yangtze River. It was simply impossible to watch, and the emperor was furious.

Dai Quan was the same as Father Qing. Every time the emperor and the Supreme Emperor were angry, they all hoped that Jia She would come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to put out the fire, and as long as Jia She appeared, half of the anger would disappear immediately.

"My lord, why don't you go and see the emperor, I'm so angry today, I didn't even eat lunch." Dai Quan ran to the Ministry of Industry to find Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes, he really thought he was a fire brigade, but Jia Amnesty followed Dai Quan to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Seeing that Dai Quan brought Jia Amnesty over, Tu Zhen gave Dai Quan a look, but did not punish him for meddling in his own business.

"Sit down and play chess with me."

Jia She sat down politely and said, "I know why you are angry. Isn't it because the tax revenue in Jiangnan this year has been reduced by half compared to previous years? According to me, this Jiangnan is about to move a long time ago. Look at the whole country, even in the Northwest There are not as many farts as Jiangnan."

"You think I don't want to touch it, but the salt eaten by the people all over the country has to be produced in the south of the Yangtze River, and I don't know what the patrol salt censor in the south of the Yangtze River eats. This time, I have to send a strong one to go," Tu Zhen said angrily .

Jia She's heart trembled. Is this the rhythm to send Lin Ruhai there? That place is not for people. Turning his head, he had a flash of inspiration. He remembered the prescription of drying salt in the first life, and said: "According to I said, it won’t work to send anyone, who knows if they will be bought by Jiangnan in the end.”

"That's a question, but look at your appearance, if you have any ideas, let me know." Seeing Jia She's confident look, the Holy Majesty laughed.

"This method of mine can deal a severe blow to Jiangnan. Maybe in the future, there will be no such thing as Jiangnan being rich and prosperous," Jia She said, letting go.

"How to say?" Tu Zhen became interested, and was not in a hurry to play chess, but just stared at Jia Amnesty.

"Earlier, someone gave me a recipe for drying salt. Then I forgot. Didn't this happen in Jiangnan two days ago? I remembered it again and found the recipe. I looked at the recipe. I think the above is very promising, if drying salt is feasible, then there will be no need to cook salt manually, and the people all over the country will be able to afford salt," Jia She said with a smug face.

"That's not bad, bring the recipe here, I'll see, if this recipe works, I'll have Jiangnan bleed a lot." Tu Zhen sneered.

Jia Amnesty lit the wax for those officials and salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. The royal people were narrow-minded. If they offended them, they would make up for it. Tu Rui, and look at what excuses he made, he's still young, it's really funny.

"Take what, I remember, I'm writing to you now." Jia She motioned Dai Quan to take the chessboard away and put the paper, ink, brush and inkstone on it.

Tu Zhen naturally understood Jia She's careful thinking, didn't he just don't want to play chess anymore, but he was in a good mood now and didn't mind Jia She's little tricks, so he just asked Dai Quan to put the paper, ink, brush and inkstone on it.

Dai Quan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Sure enough, the emperor was right to seek out the prince when he was angry. No, the emperor's mood immediately improved, and these servants don't have to worry about it anymore.

Jia Amnesty wrote out the recipe for drying the salt and handed it to Tu Zhen.

Tu Zhen looked at it and nodded. He also thought that the recipe was pretty good. Although the salt can only be dried for two seasons, it was dried in the sun, which is much faster than boiling salt.

"This matter must be kept secret. It's not suitable for you to go. After all, others will stare at your actions. Let Lin Ruhai go. He has done a good job in the household department. It is appropriate to entrust this matter to him. As for Lin Ruhai in the household department I will leave it to Li Xin, and Zhou Yunqi also let him go with Lin Ruhai, Zhou Yunqi is a practical person, Lin Ruhai is smooth, and the two complement each other very well." Tu Zhen still believes in these three people. Those who took refuge in him had good abilities.

Jia Amnesty nodded, and said: "The two of them are really capable. If I were to go, I would definitely not be able to endure such hardships."

"Yes, you are a baby. When you were young, the old Rong Guogong and his wife regarded you as an eyeball. When you became an official, your father regarded you as an eyeball. Now, I also regard you as an eyeball," Tu Zhen joked.

Jia She gave a blank look, just because this life is different, okay?In the first life, what a miserable life he had, but it was good for his grandparents to see him in the eyes.

Jia Amnesty was relieved that the problem in the south of the Yangtze River could be completely resolved. When the ship returned, the cement road could be repaired. If possible, Jia Amnesty hoped to get the railway out. Very conveniently, thinking about the history of the Second World's Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China, Jia Amnesty suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

But the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, the road has to walk step by step, take your time.

Within three days, Lin Ruhai and Zhou Yunqi took the imperial edict and left the capital first. After all, the best time to dry the salt was coming, and they couldn't wait to go to the office with the female family members in the mansion, so they could only leave the capital first. Go, wait for their female relatives to pack up, then let someone protect them, and go to the office where they are.

For Lin Moyu's departure, Lian Mengmeng cried uncontrollably, and Lin Moyu cried too hard, but in the end Jia Min's family left the capital.

Jia Amnesty felt that it was a good thing for Jia Min to leave the capital as soon as possible. Until now, Jia Min secretly supported the Jia family. Although Lin Ruhai had no objection, isn't it because Lin Ruhai's mother is still there? How could she have no objection? It's just because of Lin Moyu In terms of face, I can't bear it.Also, the Jia Mansion has not really stood up by itself until now, isn't it because there are people to rely on? Now that Jia Min is gone and Shi Hou's health is not good, it is time for the Jia Mansion to stand up on its own.

According to the prescription provided by Jia She, with the efforts of the working people, the place where the salt was sun-dried began to produce salt within two months. Although the salt particles produced at the beginning were relatively large and not as fine as boiled salt, it was not as fine as boiled salt. It does not affect the food, the most important thing is the large amount.

Shengshang sneered, and began to release salt production in the south of the Yangtze River, and the price of salt rose. The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River took this opportunity to store the salt in their warehouses, and then sold it when the price reached the highest. At this time, sea salt began to flow into the market. , The price of the entire salt market dropped sharply. At this time, except for a small number of salt merchants who quickly bought the salt in their hands, more than [-]% of the salt merchants in Jiangnan were not alert.

The influx of sea salt did not really feel the crisis to them, because they did not know that the salt flowing into the market was sun-dried sea salt. They just thought that the imperial court was saving the market. The salt fields gradually increased, and the salt entering the market also gradually increased, and finally maintained a relatively low price, and the salt market began to stabilize. At this time, the imperial court released the salt fields by the seaside, and the salt price of the imperial court began to be unified later. At this time, the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River began to be in turmoil. The cost of cooking salt was higher than that of drying salt. The salt stored in the warehouse could not be sold at all. Only then did they start to panic.

The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are backed by officials. Their business lost money, so they naturally want to find the officials behind them, and the officials behind them have nothing to do with this matter. The industry of drying salt is directly in the hands of the Holy Master , has nothing to do with the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, and they have no way to start.

In the end, they had no choice but to beg in front of Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty was naturally pretending to be stupid, asking three questions, saying that he didn't know what the Holy Majesty's plan was, but they also found out clearly that Lin Ruhai and Zhou Yunqi were responsible for this. She's best friend, he doesn't know who knows.

Jia Amnesty was driven into a hurry, so he would naturally turn back, saying that they are officials of the court, and the only ones who suffer are the salt merchants in Jiangnan, why are they in such a hurry.

One by one stagnates, they naturally took advantage of the salt merchants, and naturally had to speak for the salt merchants. This is also an unspoken rule in the officialdom, but it is not appropriate for Jia She to expose it nakedly like this Yes, but after all they have been officials for so many years, a thick skin is a must, and they still approach Jia Amnesty.

Jia She thought for a while, if he didn't come up with a solution, maybe those people would jump over the wall and do something. Since there was a solution, Jia She informed the Holy One first, and the Holy Majesty said yes, so Jia She began to accept gifts widely. After receiving the gift, the same rules as the Supreme Emperor, give half to the emperor.

The emperor felt quite satisfied that his private treasury was full during this period, but he became angry again thinking about how much the officials in Jiangnan had squeezed over the years.

Jia She pointed out a clear way for the salt merchants in Jiangnan, which is to let them take the road of hardcover salt. After all, the dried salt is relatively coarse, and it is not particularly good for cooking, but the boiled salt is finer and more suitable for cooking. Naturally, it is also better. People with some assets will naturally choose hardcover salt, but the income will be much less than when they monopolized salt in the past.

The salt merchants have no better solution to this matter. It is obviously impossible to stop the drying of salt. The people have already eaten cheap table salt, and now they suddenly stop the supply of sea salt. The final result is not something they can afford .

After the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, it began to calm down again, but through this incident, Tu Zhen's status in the hearts of the people suddenly rose, and his throne became more stable.

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and couldn't help sighing, looking at other people's heads, not only cheated the whole Jiangnan, vented their anger, but also improved his own status, if Tu Yi wants to do something now, drive Tu Zhen from the throne, all these The people will never agree.

Tu Zhen is also quite satisfied with this campaign, and he can kill multiple birds with one stone, but what should be cleaned up in Jiangnan's officialdom, don't think that if he gets angry, the previous things can be written off, and he will remember everything. But the rest of the account can be calculated slowly, so there is no need to rush.

The author has something to say: There is a bug in chapter 166, that is, Tu Zhen should not tell the queen that she is his cousin, but should be a niece. The stupid author was stunned for a while, but I didn't find it, but it doesn't affect the reading, okay? (*￣3) (ε￣*)
