Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 875 Trading
"Why did your Majesty say this?"

In Jia Rong's heart, she understood that the previous gesture was correct.

"The method of drying sea salt that Lin Ruhai worked out at the beginning should be provided by General Jia, right?"

With a firm tone today and sharp and deep eyes, he said calmly, "Since General Jia is the rightful master, is there anyone who is more familiar with sea salt drying than you?"

Just kidding, with the majesty of the emperor, it is quite easy to find out what is going on around Lin Ruhai.

Not to mention, back then, there were spies sent by Lin Ruhai's side.

After all, patrolling the salt censor is related to the annual salt tax revenue, which is casually millions of dollars, and the emperor cannot pay too much attention to it.

This is also the main reason why Yangzhou's censors who inspect salt in Yangzhou change every year, and rarely have a good death.

There are very few patrolling salt censors who can resist the temptation of huge benefits.

But they didn't know that when they reached out to grab the silver, they were clearly seen by the royal spies around them.

The only exception is the Zhen family who have been serving as the salt censor for seven consecutive terms.

It can be said that the Zhen family is seeking money according to the order, and everyone knows the reason.

Up to now, the Zhen family has controlled Jinling Weaving, which is not much worse than Xunyan Yushi.

As for Lin Ruhai, it is because he was born in a wealthy family, and his family wealth does not need to be fished for money, so he can live a comfortable life.

"Your Majesty, do you want to directly use sun-dried sea salt instead of boiled salt?"

Since today's words are so clear, Jia Rong asked directly without pretending to be confused.

"Is there any difference?"

There was a slowly curious look on his face today.

"The difference is huge!"

Jia Rong laughed softly: "One cost is two concepts!"

"Appreciate further details!"

"Sun-dried sea salt costs almost nothing, just like picking it up for nothing!"

Jia Rong made it very clear: "The cost of cooking salt is quite high, and the output is very limited, so it is easy for private salt to take advantage of loopholes!"

"In addition, I suspect that the southeast coastal area has started the operation of drying sea salt in private, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why there is too much private salt produced there!"

"General Jia can see clearly!"

Now that I said something, I don't know if it is a compliment or a sarcasm?
Jia Rong took it as a compliment, and said leisurely: "I don't know what your majesty thinks?"

"If the entire Jinmen salt field is turned into sun-dried sea salt, how much will the imperial court's income increase?"

"I think it's better not to be so radical!"

"It seems that General Jia's advice to Lin Ruhai is not so cautious!"

There is something inexplicable in the brows now, and he said with a smile: "If there is any way here, General Jia might as well talk about it!"

Damn, don't you know what kind of situation Lin Ruhai was in back then?
For today's practice of asking questions knowingly, Jia Rong naturally has to strongly condemn them, otherwise her thoughts will not be clear.

At that time, in order to escape Lin Ruhai, the natural method was as drastic as possible, otherwise, how could he attract the attention of today, and then transfer him away from the pit of Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi?

In fact, such a strategy has been quite successful.

But to say that Lin Ruhai didn't know the risks involved would be to underestimate his wisdom.

Otherwise, why would Lin Ruhai be the first thing that comes to mind when trying to make sea salt today? I really think that he is so handsome that he can ignore certain rules?
But when it comes to the Jinmen Saltworks, there is naturally no need to be so eager, and no one wants to get out of the sea of ​​suffering.

These, may not be considered today?
It's just taking the name of the emperor, wanting to reap greater benefits, and then throwing out all the possible disadvantages.

"What I mean is that there is no need to go to war!"

Now that he is asked to say it, Jia Rong will not be polite, otherwise he will hurt his own allies, and maybe something will happen.

He talked eloquently: "It's even possible to not move the original site of the saltworks!"

Ignoring today's probing eyes, he chuckled lightly and said, "Sun-dried sea salt, as the name suggests, only needs enough sunshine and a sufficient area of ​​beach!"

"Oh, so cheap!"

With a relaxed expression today, he nodded and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that before!"

Jia Rong didn't take it seriously, he understood the thoughts of the superiors too well.

Blindly want to take advantage, but do not want to pay any price.

Everything wants to start from a place with a foundation. According to their experience, it will be smooth and much cheaper.

Today, if you want to dry sea salt, the first thing you think of is the opening of a mature salt farm.

But the question is, how sensitive and eye-catching are mature salt farms?

Moreover, there are too many conflicts of interest involved in it, and even today I am afraid that I am not willing to get involved easily, otherwise why would Jia Rong and other officials be taken advantage of?
Do you really think that there are no loyal subordinates in today's subordinates?
Isn't it because if the original saltworks are moved rashly, it is likely to cause a strong rebound from some inherent forces, so you don't want to take risks?

It's similar to the method used by aristocratic families to annex land. There is obviously enough wasteland in the wild to open up wasteland, but they just don't want to spend energy and resources to do so.

Wait until the landless people open up wasteland independently, and wait until the wasteland gradually becomes mature, and then use tricks to seize it.

It is also the case that such methods are used too much, and the poor people become poorer and poorer, and they don't even have the little resources to open up wasteland.

Otherwise, with the large land area and population, it is not difficult to make everyone have enough to eat. The key is that most of the land is concentrated.

Those high-ranking people who hold a lot of land in their hands don't care whether the poor people's life is bad or whether they can't survive.

The current thoughts and ideas are actually the same.

"Since General Jia knows what's in his mind, I will entrust General Jia to make sea salt in Jinmen!"

Seeing that Jia Rong knew everything, she didn't bother to talk nonsense now, and went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, I recommend Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding to lead a team to open up the salt farm. In addition, the Daotai Yamen in Jinmen must cooperate actively!"

When it came time to ask, Jia Rong was not polite at all.

"Then who does General Jia think is suitable for the position of Jinmen Daotai?"

Today, he doesn't care about it. Jia Rong didn't directly become an official, so it is impossible to become a dignified figure immediately, but he just wants to recommend his own people, which is what it should be.

"Wang Ziteng, the general of Huainan, I feel that General Wang is an all-round talent in both civil and military affairs. He is capable and qualified to rule Tianjin!"

Jia Rong chuckled and said, if she agreed now, the two heavyweights of the Wang family and the Shi family would be arranged in one go, and the momentum of the four major families in Jinling would instantly rise.

"When will there be results?"

"Next summer, after all, the sun will be plentiful and the hours of sunshine will be long..."
