Peach Blossom Island and the Red House

The tables and relationship diagrams made by Lin Lang make Lin Ruhai very fresh. This is ancient, not modern. Naturally, I don’t understand Lin Lang’s subconscious habit formed after being poisoned by icons for many years. It is one thing to act, and to know some things. It is not an ordinary shock to really see this clear form, which is presented in detail.It seems that it is the first time that Lin Ruhai has seen the layout of the Zhen family in Jiangnan so intuitively. After careful consideration, he can find that the Zhen family almost controls most of the money in Jiangnan.

It is conceivable how heavy Lin Ruhai's heart is. From these relationships, he clearly understands that if the Yan government is to be effective, the key lies in the Zhen family.

Lin Ruhai was worrying, Lin Lang walked in, without saying anything, just handed the stack of papers in his hand to Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai didn't know why, so he couldn't help but take a look, then took a sudden breath, looked at Lin Lang in shock, and then fell silent on those few pieces of paper.

It is very simple to say what is on the paper, that is to dry salt, to dry salt in another place, to support new salt industry areas, such as Shandong, another small salt-producing area.As far as this salt is produced, there are actually many places, but it is the largest one in Yangzhou. This has led to almost [-]% of the salt industry being controlled by these salt merchants in Yangzhou, giving them the confidence to trade with the government. The imperial court delayed taxes, and Lin Lang's strategy was to allocate this right and benefit, and use the method of divide and conquer to govern.However, the salt cooking method used by salt merchants is the most advanced salt production method today, and Lin Lang has given a new method, which is to add a few procedures to the original ancient salt drying method to directly increase production and increase the production capacity. The viability of several small salt farms is striving to use the method of cannibalization to gradually weaken the control of Yangzhou salt merchants.

The action here is big, and it is estimated that many officials and regions will be involved, but it is a feasible method. If it is really successful, the salt tax of the first treasury can be increased, and the northern officials in the second Shandong area may also be able to do so. Benefits, third, it can also provide more livelihoods for the people in places that have been threatened by the floods of the Yellow River all year round, and the fourth official positions can also be more, so that scholars can benefit. Fifth, that is, people like Lin Ruhai Salt government official, although the importance of this position will decrease, after all, it is no longer the only one, but the security is much greater, and there is no need to start worrying about being impeached or imprisoned before taking the position.

From these aspects, Lin Ruhai absolutely agrees with the plan proposed by Lin Lang, but this matter is not small, he always has to think carefully, after reading the plan written by Lin Lang, Lin Ruhai looked up at the plan. Lin Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to this article, even if you have been an official for more than ten years, you may not be able to compare. Everything is appropriate, and the interests of all places are taken care of. There is almost nothing that can be criticized. I guess the only objection is It’s the salt merchants in Yangzhou. The people behind the salt merchants probably won’t object to the new source of income. They are well-rounded! Brother Lang, it’s a pity that you don’t want to be an official!”

Lin Lang looked at the expression while speaking, and his heart tightened. Did he doubt him?Well, he's acting a bit evil now, but it's not for him, okay!Well, well, he also has his own thoughts. He also thinks that he can rely on him more in the future. After all, if he has not become an official, then Lin Ruhai will die, and his future road will be much more difficult. He can be regarded as an investment up.But you don't have to look at people that way, okay?

"Big brother, when it comes to this method, someone in the previous dynasty thought about it and said it, but no one came up with a follow-up method to the salt drying method, so it couldn't be implemented. If my brother said he had the ability, it was only on the island. It’s just that I have some experience in drying salt. Let me tell you, these literati are all good at reading, and they are also good at being officials, but they don’t distinguish between grains and don’t know skills. Like me, I have carefully read, done, and thought about it. I guess this method has been around for a long time. The Yan government has relied on repression and bloody methods for several generations. It is really not a long-term solution. People! As long as the silver is dazzled, what can't be done? It's better to use a balanced method to control them. If there is something wrong with these two in the future, the court can support the third one. If we divide up the rights of the Salt Administration, then the profit will be small, and the trouble will naturally be small. Isn’t this the truth from ancient times to the present?”

Lin Lang said it easily, and when Lin Ruhai thought about it, the astonishment in his eyes eased a little bit. He knew that his younger brother read a lot, and he also knew that he had a good memory, but he didn't expect that his ability to integrate and draw inferences from one instance was so powerful. , was more transparent than his big brother, an old man in the officialdom, which made him a little ashamed, so he stood up quickly and saluted Lin Lang.

"Thank you, big brother, this has solved my great difficulty, although it may not be effective immediately, but with such a method, at least it can make my job a little easier as an official and draw my attention away. "

After thinking about it, he took the relationship diagram written by the two people in front of him and shook it in his hand.

"Based on this alone, the imperial court might be shocked. I don't want to worry about it. Some things should be known to them. Otherwise, this Jiangnan will become someone else's private property."

While talking, he put the relationship diagram and the papers with the salt government together, and Lin Lang immediately understood what he meant. This is when Lin Ruhai was thinking about submitting a booklet to explain the salt government issue, so he also gave the relationship table to the emperor. The last one was to let the emperor know about the current situation in Jiangnan. As for whether to give eye drops to the Zhen family, or to make other families suffer?I'm sorry, then they don't know, this is loyalty to the emperor, this is a gentleman's way of punishment that can't be said to others. In this respect, Lin Ruhai's image outside is still very good, and he is also reputable in the eyes of the emperor. Besides, if you don’t believe it, you can check it yourself. The most important thing is that they estimate that Lin Ruhai will revise it a little bit, leaving a part of the capital unreported, and let the emperor check it himself. If the emperor is afraid of them, then Lin Ruhai, an official of the Yanzheng government, will do more and more safely. Don't think that he is not honest and can't do anything. This is the way to protect yourself!Who made this vacant seat originally operated by the Zhen family, but let him sit in it!It was right from the beginning!
