Chapter 2878

Under the dangerous situation of Jiangnan, he can retreat and stabilize the overall situation.

In the court, he was not afraid of any eyes or forces.

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

Although he still looks like that, his bearing is more extraordinary.

The emperor was very satisfied with Lin Ruhai's performance and repeatedly said three "good".

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

From the expression of the emperor's mouth, he liked Lin Ruhai very much. It is estimated that Lin Ruhai's official position will be promoted again this time.

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

Bai Yixiu followed the waiter in and saluted respectfully. "Wei minister Lin Ruhai, see the emperor. Long live my emperor."

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

Bai Yixiu followed the trend and said, "thank you, Emperor."

The emperor asked. He hoped Lin Ruhai could put forward some good suggestions or effective reform methods. "Lin Aiqing, you have achieved great results in dealing with salt politics in the south of the Yangtze River, but salt affairs is the top priority and you can lead the whole body.

Although I know that the salt policy has many disadvantages and needs to be reformed, I don't know where to start. Lin Aiqing has been in Yangzhou for a long time and is skilled in handling the salt policy. He should know more about the twists and turns inside than I do. If I want to reform, what should I do? "

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

There are indeed many drawbacks and omissions in the current salt policy, which need to be changed. Therefore, Weichen came up with some measures to improve these conditions, all of which are written in the memorial, and please have a look at it. "

When the emperor heard this, he was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai's ideas coincided with him. He was worthy of the emperor's important person in those years. He was really talented.

The Emperor didn't wait for the waiter to come up, so he went directly to Bai Yixiu, received the thick Memorial, and couldn't wait to open it.

Bai Yixiu stood like this. The emperor asked while looking. Sometimes he frowned and thought. About half an hour later, the emperor finally finished reading it from beginning to end.

The emperor looked at Bai Yixiu and said, "Lin Aiqing, these measures are very good, but it is very difficult to implement them. If you reduce the price of salt, those salt merchants will oppose it. In case they stick together and pick up, and the people can't buy salt, there will be trouble."

Bai Yixiu chuckled, then took out two pieces of paper from another sleeve, "emperor, please look. This is the best salt workers in Ruhai to improve the existing salt making method. The cost is 30% of the original salt cost, less than half. When the cost is reduced, the salt price can naturally fall.

In addition, salt merchants can get together and solve the problem better. After we get the salt, we can auction it, and the one with the highest price will get it. Salt is a piece of fat meat, and the rich people in other industries have long been jealous. However, salt is government-owned, so people in other industries can't get in at all.

Those salt merchants just cooperate. If they don't cooperate, naturally, a large number of people are willing to buy salt and engage in salt sales, and they must abide by the unified pricing of the imperial court and the time limit. If official salt is cheaper than private salt, who will buy private salt? Although the price has decreased, the quantity has increased, and the salt tax of the government will only be more, not less.
