It fell into Sun Yifang's hands safely.

After three months of preparation, in the autumn of the seventeenth year of Dayin, Sun Yifang held the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince and officially entered the East Palace.

However, he found that the relationship between him and his father had deteriorated.

Before, he could decide how to arrange the personnel in the prince's mansion. Now that he lives in the East Palace, he is more restricted. No outside men can enter and leave the palace at will. Naturally, Sun Yifang can't find a place nearby to arrange Mr. Wang Ke.

Although Sun Yifang's ascension to the crown prince was not seized by Mr. Wang Ke, if it weren't for the arrangement of this genius in the past few years, he might not be able to compete with other brothers in the selection of the crown prince. What's more, Sun Ren is still in good health, and his younger brothers are about to grow up. It is unknown what will happen if things are delayed for a few more years. Therefore, Sun Yifang valued Mr. Wang Ke very much, and even had some dependence on him, as if with this person, he would never lose his direction. Now he couldn't bring him into the palace, which made him regretful.

Sun Yifang has been very busy recently and has no time to visit outside the palace. You Hongyin has moved back to Shenyou Garden. I only heard that many friends come and go every day, enjoying flowers, drinking and having fun, and being very free and easy. Sun Yifang was a little envious and a little uncomfortable. He always felt that after this gentleman helped him ascend to the position of the crown prince, he was not as close to him as before, so he never went to Shenyou Garden. But when there was a problem in his relationship with Sun Ren, he didn't care about anything else and ran directly to Shenyou Garden to ask for advice.

"Sir, I think I'd better arrange a position for you in the Zhanshi Mansion, so that we can't meet." Sun Yifang said.

"Your Highness, I have not accomplished anything, how can I be airborne to the Zhanshi Mansion? It's good now. Your Highness has ascended to the throne of the Crown Prince, and I don't need to do anything more. If there is any problem, just send someone to send a message." Most of the people in the Zhanshi Mansion are left by the previous Crown Prince. Sun Yifang has not yet fully arranged his team. At this moment, the intrigues must be very exciting. He, a lazy man, does not need to join in the fun.

"Your Highness came today because he was worried that the relationship with His Majesty had changed and there was a little inappropriateness." You Hongyin asked.

Sun Yifang admired: "Sir, you are still as discerning as always. Yes, during this period, I always felt that my father's attitude towards me was a little strange." This kind of thing is definitely not superficial, and there will be no signs, but the change in the relationship between father and son, as long as Sun Yifang is not a fool, he will naturally notice it.

You Hongyin said: "Actually, it's because your majesty is afraid."

Sun Yifang frowned: "Afraid? Afraid of what?" In his heart, his father has always been the founding emperor who conquered the world, was full of vigor and vitality, successfully founded a country, and was destined to leave a great reputation in history. What would such a person be afraid of?

"In the face of time, everyone is fair." You Hongyin said lightly: "The title of Wansui is the most beautiful lie to the emperor. In fact, no one can transcend reincarnation. His Majesty is still ambitious and still wants to expand his territory, but he is old and begins to be wary of those around him who have power, fearing that they will pounce on him and bite him hard when he is weak. And your highness is young and strong, and heir to the throne, which is at the center of your majesty's contradictory psychology."

Sun Yifang was silent for a while, then asked: "Then what should I do?"

You Hongyin said: "Let it go. Any disguise has flaws. Your highness just pretends that you have never felt the change in your majesty's attitude towards you, and just act as before."

At this moment, Sun Yifang felt the things other than the power of the prince. But it is true that you can pay attention to strategies and tactics, and make unparalleled calculations when doing things, but it is useless to treat people's hearts.

As if seeing Sun Yifang's heavy heart and worry, You Hongyin said: "Your Highness, rather than go~

People nowadays tend to believe in destiny, and they can't help but feel that the death of the former prince was so bizarre, and he was afraid that he was really destined to be unable to bear such a great honor and make way for the real one.

Sun Heyan was not well-informed when he was away, and when he came back, he found that his brother really became the prince. For a moment, he didn't know what he felt in his heart. But for him, Sun Yifang being the emperor is naturally better than other brothers. Because he is born to like men, he probably has no offspring in this life, so naturally he has no ambition to compete. The previous opposition was just because he was afraid that Sun Yifang would destroy himself by hitting the stone with an egg, but now the situation is so good, how could he oppose it again.

Just when Sun Yifang's position in the court became more and more stable, and his evaluation in the hearts of officials at all levels became higher and higher, You Hongyin gave further opinions.

"Now the salt administration is probably going to be improved." You Hongyin finally reached out to the salt administration: "Salt is a necessity that everyone cannot do without. I'm afraid that Your Highness knows the profit from it without me saying it. ”

Now that Sun Yifang has been in the court for a long time, he naturally understands: "Sir, you mean that no matter how good the salt policy is at the beginning, it will inevitably become corrupted due to huge interests over time, right?"

"Yes."

Sun Yifang said: "This is something everyone understands, but the salt policy is also a link that the country cannot avoid. Sir, do you have any good ideas?"

You Hongyin handed the plan he had written before to Sun Yifang: "I have written what I want to say here, Your Highness, why don't you read it carefully in the next few days. I have never been an official, and some of my ideas may seem natural. Your Highness is welcome to come and discuss with me. "

You Hongyin described in detail in the plan how to make salt at low cost. Most of the salt-making methods used today are to boil brine to make salt, which is very costly and has low yields, which is why the price of salt is originally high. You Hongyin gave the conventional method of producing salt by sun-drying salt. This method is a backward production method in modern times, but in today's era, it is the most scientific, convenient and lowest-cost method of producing salt. At the same time, he also marked which places along the coast are suitable for salt fields. After the establishment of these nearly ten salt fields, they are fully capable of supplying salt to the whole country. Although the locations of these places are not very good, as long as cement roads are built to connect the commercial roads, the transportation costs that constitute the high salt price will also be saved a lot. You Hongyin's opinion is to directly abolish the salt administration and cut down the original institutions. It is also very expensive to support the officials of the salt administration. The number of people is really a bit too much. Instead, the salt field will be directly registered under the name of the Ministry of Households, and the national unified price will be set when selling salt to the outside world. In this way, the people will not eat high-priced salt, and the Ministry of Households' fiscal revenue will not be reduced too much.

Sun Yifang returned to the East Palace and spent a night reading the information. He always valued Mr. Wang Ke's opinions, but he hesitated when faced with this proposal.

This method of salt production is amazing. It has indeed greatly increased the output, but this method of salt production is too ordinary, without any technical content, and too easy to leak.

Sun Yifang is not good at discussing this matter with his staff. His staff are more familiar with government affairs and court struggles. They always think on the side of bureaucrats about such major events related to people's livelihood, and it is difficult to consider the interests of the people. Although they all say that water can carry a boat or overturn a boat, and that the country is the most important, the people are second, and the king is the least important, but in fact, there are not many people who really worry about the country and the people. This is why Sun Yifang likes to communicate with Mr. Wang Ke and respects him very much. The term "unparalleled national scholar" is not something that every scholar can bear.

After struggling for a few days, Sun Yifang still couldn't make up his mind. He heard from Mr. Wang Ke's words that he seemed to be unsure whether this plan was feasible. This was the first time he heard Mr. Wang Ke say that he was not sure.

Finally, Sun Yifang decided that this
