The 2880th Chapters Offer Suggestions

In such a dangerous situation as Jiangnan, he was able to retreat and stabilize the overall situation.

Above the court, he is not afraid of any gaze or any force.

The emperor also looked at Lin Ruhai, his senses were very good, he always felt that Lin Ruhai was different from the last time we met.

Although still the same appearance, but the bearing is even more extraordinary.

The emperor was very satisfied with Lin Ruhai's performance, and said three "yes" again and again.

Almost all the courtiers thought that Lin Ruhai would die in Jiangnan, but now Lin Ruhai not only came back, but also achieved such political achievements.

Judging from the expression on the emperor's mouth closed, he likes Lin Ruhai very much, and it is estimated that this time Lin Ruhai's official position will be promoted again.

After going down to court, the emperor called the servant directly and handed Lin Ruhai over to the imperial study.

Bai Yixiu came in with the servant, and saluted respectfully, "We're a minister, Lin Ruhai, to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor enjoyed the courtiers' kneeling and worship, and was in a good mood today, and said, "Lin Aiqing, get up quickly."

Bai Yixiu took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor asked, he hoped that Lin Ruhai could come up with some good suggestions or effective reforms, "Lin Aiqing, your handling of the salt administration in Jiangnan has been very effective, but the salt affairs are the most important thing, and it will mobilize the whole body.

Although I know that the salt administration has many drawbacks and needs to be reformed, but I don't know where to start? Lin Aiqing has been in Yangzhou for a long time, and she is very good at handling the salt administration. She should know more about the twists and turns in it than I do. If I want to reform, where should I reform? "

At this time, Bai Yixiu took out a thick memorial from his arms, and then presented it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have your Majesty's trust, Wei Chen has been in Yangzhou for many years, and he has a lot of experience in handling the salt administration.

There are indeed many shortcomings and omissions in the current salt administration, which need to be changed. Therefore, Wei Chen came up with some measures to improve these conditions, all of which are written in the memorial, and the emperor is also invited to take a look. "

Hearing this, the emperor was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Lin Ruhai's idea coincided with his.

The emperor didn't wait for the servant to present it, he walked directly to Bai Yixiu's side, took the thick memorial, and couldn't wait to open it.

Bai Yixiu just stood there,

The emperor looked and asked, and sometimes frowned in thought. After about half an hour, the emperor finally finished reading it from beginning to end.

The emperor looked at Bai Yixiu, "Lin Aiqing, these methods of yours are very good, but it is very difficult to implement. If the salt price is lowered, those salt merchants will object. "

Bai Yixiu chuckled, and then took out two pieces of paper from another sleeve, "Your Majesty, please see. This is the best salt workers gathered in Ruhai, improving the existing salt production method, and the cost is 30% of the original salt cost. Less than half. Costs are reduced, and the price of salt can naturally drop.

In addition, the salt merchants form a group, which is a better solution. After we get this salt lead out, it can be auctioned, and the one with the highest price will get it. Salt is a piece of fat, and rich people in other industries have long been jealous, but salt is government-run, so people in other industries can't get in at all.

Those salt merchants just cooperate obediently. If they don't cooperate, there will naturally be a lot of people willing to buy and sell salt, and they must abide by the unified pricing of the imperial court, and there are also deadlines. If official salt is cheaper than private salt, who would buy private salt! Although the price has decreased, the quantity has increased, and the government's salt tax will only be more, not less. "
