After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's statement, Zhu Biao looked puzzled.
This is so unexpected!
My father’s behavior today is really abnormal!
"It seems that Old Fourteen is already dissatisfied with me as an old man."Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, put away the memorial, and sighed.
"Father, why do you say that? Zhu Biao asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"Alas, Lao Shiliu's incident made Lao Shiliu mistakenly think that I no longer trusted him, and thought that I asked Lao Shiliu to go to Ningxia in order to weaken his military power. Zhu Yuanzhang explained with a wry smile.
After hearing this, Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly.
In fact, this is an obvious thing, isn't it?
His father sent Lao Sixteen to Ningxia, wasn't his intention clearly to disperse Lao Fourteen's troops? ?
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, he thought so in his heart
"Father, if salt merchants in the north are required to pay one out of ten taxes, then salt merchants in the south should be treated the same."Zhu Biao interjected at this time.
He has always been thorough in his work!
The profits of refined salt are extremely huge, and the tax of ten to one is actually not high.
This is simply the cornucopia of the imperial court, which continuously injects wealth into the imperial treasury.
Even if the tax is one to ten , I believe that countless businessmen will flock to it.
However, businessmen from the north and the south cannot be biased. Businessmen in the north enjoy a tax rate of 1 out of 10, but businessmen in the south cannot bear a higher tax burden, right?
At least in terms of salt merchant tax, The entire Ming Dynasty must remain unified.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang deeply agreed and believed that what Zhu Biao said was very true.
In this way, the policy on Ganzhou refined salt was quickly finalized during the discussion between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao
"By the way, Biao'er, is everything going well with the fourteenth's wedding?"After Zhu Yuanzhang finished talking about the business, he mentioned the matter of seeing off his bride.
"We have made preparations, and we will choose an auspicious day to let them take the water route first, and then turn to the land route to Ganzhou."
Zhu Biao nodded affirmatively.
He also knew his father's intention. The purpose of betrothing Li to Lao Si was to ease his relationship with the civil service group.
"well done. Get this done as soon as possible."
Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his approval
"However, I'm worried that Old Fourteen may not accept it. You know his temper. If we send people to Ganzhou, he will……"Zhu Biao suddenly showed concern.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang had proposed many times to have concubines or concubines for Zhu Lai, but he was rejected by Zhu Lai every time.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not even notify Zhu Gai in advance, but directly issued an imperial edict to inform the world.
It is estimated that by the time the decree reaches Ganzhou, the procession of seeing off the bride will have already set off.
This is undoubtedly the father's first attack on the old fourteenth!
"snort! This time he can't let him be willful! Zhu Yuanzhang showed a sly smile,"I will ask his mother to go to Ganzhou Mansion in person to supervise him to complete the wedding.""
Zhu Biao was speechless for a moment. This kind of operation was really unexpected.
But if you think about it carefully, perhaps only Concubine Gao Guifei can persuade the stubborn old fourteen.
Old Fourteen may dare to defy his father's wishes, but he treats his biological mother, Concubine Gao. She has always been filial.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not tell Zhu Biao that another important reason why he asked Concubine Gao to go to Ganzhou was to invite the experts under Zhu Biao's command.
"Father, this trick of yours is really brilliant!"Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile and shook his head after thinking about it.
Soon, the news about Ganzhou Prefecture's refined salt spread from the temple to the people.
Zhu Yuanzhang also summoned six ministers to announce the decision on refined salt reform. The imperial court would gradually reduce the production of official salt. It will eventually be eliminated and refined salt will be purchased from Ganzhou Prefecture in the future. It is transported from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River via the Yangtze River waterway. This refined salt transportation route is also very convenient.
This news quickly spread throughout
Yingtian Prefecture. Huaixi nobles such as Sheng, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde also gathered together. Apparently they had just learned about Ganzhou's refined salt policy.
"This is really troublesome!"
"If the imperial court adopts refined salt from Ganzhou, it will cut off our financial resources!"
"Now that the news has just come out, let your men sell the salt they have hoarded at a low price!"
"Let’s consider how much loss we can recover!"
In the end, these nobles had no choice but to accept this loss.
They were more or less involved in some gray industries selling private salt. The only difference was in quantity.
But once the refined salt from Ganzhou entered the market, their previous business was completely gone. The method is done.
The refined salt in Ganzhou only sells for 50 yuan per bucket and is of high quality. Who will buy their private salt?
Is there any cheaper than Ganzhou?
Is there any better quality than Ganzhou?
None of them I can only watch the goods being smashed into my hands!"When did King Su master the art of making refined salt?"Feng Sheng was confused.
"What is the use of discussing this matter now?"Someone questioned
"Hearing that the emperor had adopted the salt tax law of one out of ten taxes, although the civil servants complained, the emperor had made a decision! Chang Sheng sighed.
"With one tax out of ten, the imperial treasury will be extremely full!"Another person couldn't help but admire
"The civil servants are naturally dissatisfied. Their losses are even heavier than ours!"Someone else added
"Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are thinking about how to obtain the secret recipe for making salt!"Feng Sheng sneered. Dear bosses, I am so shameless here, please give me some flowers, evaluation votes and monthly tickets!!!!
Thank you all for your support!!!!
