"Hum, it's a pity that it's not now." the supreme Emperor didn't refute the past, but now because Lin Ruhai's plan is broken, he doesn't like Lin Ruhai.
If Lin Ruhai can't give him a good explanation and an acceptable statement, Lin Ruhai will have to die.
The emperor was embarrassed. In a sense, he pried his father's corner.
However, this is all for the country of the great Zhou Dynasty. I hope my father and emperor can understand.
At this time, Bai Yixiu respectfully saluted the supreme emperor and the emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty. "The supreme emperor, the emperor, at any time, Wei minister is a good minister of the great Zhou Dynasty. From beginning to end, Wei minister has been practicing a word once said in front of the supreme Emperor to be loyal to the emperor and the great Zhou Dynasty. He has done the same over the years."
The emperor felt happy when he heard this.
Yes, the minister should be loyal to the emperor. The supreme emperor is the supreme emperor. He should not manage the imperial government. As an emperor, he can manage the imperial court of the great Zhou Dynasty.
If all ministers were like Lin Ruhai, the emperor would not be so tired.
The supreme emperor was so blocked by Bai Yixiu's words that he almost didn't come up. He glanced at Bai Yixiu, "you're so clever that you can't calm me down by paying 18 million liang of silver to the Treasury this year. Lin Ruhai, you must say a reason why I don't kill you."
At this time, Bai Yixiu took out a memorial from his arms, "supreme emperor, after reading the statistics of Weichen in Jiangnan these years, you can understand the painstaking efforts of Weichen."
The emperor was stunned. He didn't know what Lin Ruhai gave the supreme emperor.
The Emperor didn't know why, so he asked the Chamberlain to take it and see how clever Lin Ruhai was.
But when the emperor saw from the beginning to the end, his whole face was black.
The emperor was also very nervous. What if his father did not care and wanted to kill Lin Ruhai?
On the contrary, Bai Yixiu was calm. He didn't believe that the supreme emperor could sit still when he saw so many moths in the king of the Zhou Dynasty. His courtyard wall was not only perforated, but also half of the roof was lifted?
The emperor looked at the black faced emperor and the calm Lin Ruhai. He was confused and became more curious about the two pieces of paper in the emperor's hand.
But the father Emperor didn't ask him to see it. The emperor was embarrassed to go.
In front of the supreme emperor, he couldn't ask Lin Ruhai directly. He was so anxious that he was about to smoke.
Just when the emperor couldn't sit still and wanted to ask aloud, the supreme emperor's voice trembled slightly and asked, "Lin Ruhai, what you said above is true?"
Bai Yixiu smiled, relaxed and respectfully replied, "Jiangnan has developed commerce and is rich, but the imperial court gets very little from it. The imperial court forbids the sea, but the sea is so large and the coastline is so long. For rich profits, many overseas fleets have been bred.
Tea leaves of one or two silver coins can be sold for ten Liang or even tens of Liang silver outside. Because there is no unified management and tax collection by the government, all the money has gone into the hands of those rich and powerful families.
In addition, because these things are sold abroad, do not circulate in China and do not receive tax. Once they come back, there will be a loss of tens of millions of liang of silver, which is only a year.
Although the salt price mentioned by Ruhai is official, because a salt merchant hoards salt, the official store has no salt and can only buy salt from private shops, the salt price rises. The price difference here has entered the hands of salt merchants. They eat meat, the imperial court can't even eat a bone, so they can only drink some soup. "
