Chapter 141 It’s not difficult at all

Private salt for official use?!

After listening to what He Beiting said, the seventh prince Chu Yuchen finally understood. The so-called official use of private salt is nothing more than giving a legal identity to private salt owners and salt residents.

After the salt tax was reduced, salt merchants no longer had to receive salt quotas from the government and secretly purchased private salt to sell. The price of salt dropped from the official level, and they could freely buy official salt at a higher price.

If the tax is reduced, then the price of salt in shops will also come down.

The price can even be set directly by the government and then announced publicly.

In this way, there is no problem for the people to eat salt. The salt merchants are not affected too much. Although the profit is a little thin, they still make money. The key point is that they no longer have to bear the risk of being investigated at any time. The salt people will not be stopped.

Livelihoods may even be better.

The only people whose interests will be touched are: first, those who make profits from official salt farms; second, those who are exploiting the salt industry at all levels; and those who are in the middle, those who want to get rid of illegal salt.

A person who works hard and takes advantage of others.

If these people are connected in series and make trouble from top to bottom, it will really be a headache.

This method is a good method, and it is a good method that benefits both the people and the court. However, it is indeed difficult to implement it.

He Beiting is right, it is not difficult to use private salt for official use!

The difficulty lies in the determination and intensity of the imperial court's rectification of the salt industry, as well as in the appointment of officials in charge. A person with an ordinary status will certainly not be able to suppress the commotion of officials, big and small, but a person with the right status will have a lot of in-laws behind him.

old old...

The Zhou family is suitable, and the Zhou family has always been a pure minister, and they have always acted independently, neither with the officials of the court, nor with the royal family members. And the old emperor Zhou acted fairly and had a good temperament.

.

However, the old Imperial Master is getting closer and closer to his seventies. If such a heavy burden is placed on him, his body may not be able to bear it. If the old Imperial Master's body is overwhelmed by the rectification of the salt industry, the gain will not be worth the loss.

Zhou Changbai... neither his prestige nor his abilities are enough to shoulder this heavy burden.

The Seventh Prince glanced at He Beiting and suddenly felt reassured.

Zhou Changbai couldn't afford to resist, but behind him stood a father who had been a master of two dynasties, and a son-in-law who was full of evil thoughts and had enough ability and courage to come up with an idea in the blink of an eye.

Well, he can take on this responsibility no matter what, and pair him with two smooth and capable deputies. In daily operations, some people will cooperate with others with bad faces, and some will help with advice when encountering real difficulties.

.

Perfect!

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. The seventh prince looked at He Beiting one by one, secretly glad that his father had found such a playmate for him. For a moment, he even felt that He Beiting was actually the arm that his father had prepared for him.

.

He Beiting said: "Your Highness, don't look at me. I am a military general, and I also have the responsibility of guarding the territory and territory on my shoulders. I cannot join the Sixth Army."

Chu Yuchen waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "No need for you, no need for you, I have already thought of a candidate."

With just one glance, He Beiting knew who the seventh prince was thinking of, and said: "Your Highness, my future father-in-law is not good enough.

First of all, when the Zhou family enters the court, they only serve as pure ministers and do not get involved in the disputes within the court. This is the ancestral precept from generation to generation. Secondly, the successors of the Zhou family do not join the Six Ministries and only serve as Hanlin officials.

Therefore, in order to make it easier for him as an imperial envoy, Your Majesty promoted him to be a bachelor in the cabinet and granted him the title of doctor of Zhongshun, without changing his official position."

"Then..." Zhou Changlin, but before the seventh prince could say these words, he retracted because of He Beiting's words that followed.

He Beiting said: "The second master of the Zhou family is even worse. He has a weak character and cannot withstand temptation."

"You came up with the method, and you have to come up with the candidate." The seventh prince said: "I don't believe it, you don't have a suitable candidate in mind. You always have a beginning and an end in your actions. When you come up with a method, you must also have thought about who can be chosen."

competent."

He Beiting glanced at the seventh prince who was playing rogue with both hands, and said angrily: "Your Highness, I am a human being, not a god. I can think everything through."

"I have a suitable candidate." When Zhou Sining's voice suddenly sounded from outside, the two people in the room were stunned for a moment, and then the seventh prince's eyes darkened, and his face became extremely ugly.

It was not because Zhou Sining heard their conversation, but because the royal guards failed in their duties.

He had previously told He Beiting that the order given to the royal guards was to guard the surrounding area and no one was allowed to approach. But now that Zhou Sining was here, no one came to ask for instructions, and he did not get any warning.

If it wasn't Zhou Sining who came, but an assassin, he would be safe at this moment!

He Beiting cupped his hands and apologized: "Your Highness, I forgive you, because what I said to Your Highness is of great importance, especially the salt industry, which must not be leaked before it is officially implemented. And the royal secret guards accompanying Your Highness, I cannot trust.

Therefore, before I opened my mouth, I had already asked my personal guards to take over the defense around here. So when Aning came, they neither stopped nor warned."

The seventh prince's complexion could be seen to have improved, and he was feeling sad at the same time. At the same time, he was making some small calculations. The best secret guard in the royal family, when he met He Beiting's people, they were all replaced without a trace. He had to ask for help no matter what.

He asked for some self-defense.

Seeing the seventh prince's eyes rolling towards him, He Beiting said: "The royal guards are very strong, but the people under me are even stronger. Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive today."

The implication is, don't worry about my people, don't give them to any of them.

The Seventh Prince naturally heard the implication of his words and was about to calm down, but when he glanced at Zhou Sining from the corner of his eyes, he said: "Huaiyuan, you value sex over friends."

The corner of Zhou Sining's mouth twitched, why did he keep talking about this?

He Beiting certainly understood what the Seventh Prince meant, but he was just saying that he gave Zhou Sining a team of people, but refused to give him any of them.

So he said: "Well, the wife of the He family shoulders the important responsibility of inheriting the He family."

The He family's private guards only guard the He family. If you can spread the branches of the He family, pass on heirs, and enter the He family tree, I can give you a few.

Seventh Prince:......

Is this what people say? If you don’t give it, you won’t give it. Why use such words to disgust him? Value sex over friends! Value sex over friends!

"Let's get back to the subject. Just now, Miss Zhou said that there is a suitable candidate. You might as well come and hear it."

Zhou Sining looked at He Beiting and when he saw him nodding slightly, he saluted again and said: "Then I was so bold that I overstepped my bounds. I felt that Your Highness could be the person in charge for the time being. My brother and Lin, who were accompanying Yicheng this time,

Qingyuan can be my deputy."

Huh? Chu Yuchen's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, the courtiers of the older generation are either extremely naughty or have a lot of troublesome relatives behind them, so they are not available.

Why didn't he think of the newcomer before?

Zhou Yanqing is upright and rigorous in his actions; Lin Qingyuan is flexible, harmonious and sticks to the bottom line. And they happen to be in the same field, so if they can complement each other, there's no need to worry about things happening.

The new guy is aggressive and capable, but he can't overpower others. But if he takes the lead, this problem won't exist.

Well, it really couldn't be more appropriate.
