I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 160 Pooh!Little Fox!

The Wei family is full of crimes, and Guo Yi has already heard about it from Lao Zhu.

At this time, seeing the expressions of Taoist and Xue Qingzhi, one can naturally guess their thoughts roughly.

So he asked back: "The two of you know the salt government of our Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Salt administration?

Xue Qingzhi didn't know why he asked this question, but he still answered: "Salt tax income has been one of the country's important sources of tax revenue in all dynasties, and it is firmly controlled by the government.

The endowment of the world, salt benefits half of it, and the palace encircles Fuyu, Junshang, and hundreds of officials, Lu and Dai all look up to it.

Gein, salt is what the body needs, it is unavoidable!
And our Great Zhou Dynasty implemented a strict official salt monopoly system.Unauthorized mining is not allowed, let alone selling without permission! "

Guo Yi smiled brightly, and continued to ask: "Then, do you know the disadvantages of the salt administration?"

Disadvantages of salt administration?
When Xue Qingzhi heard this question, he couldn't help raising his brows, looked at him in surprise, and explained clearly: "No matter how clear and infallible the law is, there will be gaps in it! Gein, people's hearts are different.

All laws are enforced by men.And differences in people's hearts will naturally lead to different results.

Just like the Yan government, although successive dynasties have been constantly checking for leaks and filling in vacancies, learning from the lessons of the previous dynasties, and constantly making corrections.

However, as time goes by, the inherent salt policy will gradually become inappropriate and many loopholes will appear. "

Good guy!
As expected of a famous Confucianist in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he neither studied hard nor read dead books, and he knew everything about many national conditions.

You know, many scholars are dead houses.I don't hear anything outside the window with my ears, and I only hear the sound of reading.But in some respects, this is a shortcoming, a big shortcoming!

Seeing Guo Yi's astonishment, Xue Qingzhi didn't feel at all concerned, stroked his beard, and continued to speak calmly: "As for the disadvantages of the salt administration, one is that the imperial court has to raise the price of salt repeatedly due to the huge financial expenditure. , making ordinary people unable to buy salt, they had to cook salt privately and sell it privately.

The second reason is that because of the considerable profits of private sales of salt goods, the salt people competed to follow suit, and the phenomenon of private frying and selling by salt people intensified.

The third is that local officials bent the law for personal gain and profited from it. Not only did they not check the sale of private salt, they even colluded with private traffickers. "

This time, Guo Yi was completely convinced, and nodded with a sigh: "You are right! Then do you know the source of these disadvantages, what is the reason?"

"Too little salt!"

Xue Qingzhi replied without even thinking about it, but just after finishing speaking, he immediately realized: "Erlang means that you want to cooperate with the Wei family to build a salt farm in order to increase the production of salt?"

If it is worthy of being a great Confucian, it is clear and correct, and it can be summed up in one word.

"Well, that's right! When there is so much salt everywhere that there is no more profit to be made, many problems in the salt administration will be solved!"

As soon as the words fell, the Taoist couldn't wait to say: "Since this is the case, there is no need to cooperate with the Wei family! My Fuxing company can be completed independently!"

His tone was very proud.Because the Fuxing Company was well-known throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ha ha!

Guo Yi shook his head helplessly, and explained: "You two should know that there are more than [-] people in the Liuzhihe Salt Field. It is estimated that many people know about the new method of digging wells and frying salt with brine!
Of course it also includes the Wei family! "

Yup!

Daoist and Xue Qingzhi suddenly realized that there are more than [-] people in the Liuzhihe Salt Field, and it is tantamount to nonsense to want to preserve the new method of digging wells and decocting salt with brine!
"So, this is the cleverness of the Wei family! They already know the method, but they still want to continue to cooperate with us. It's nothing more than fancying the power of the Fuxing Company.

As the saying goes, cooperation will benefit both, and competition will hurt each other.

Just because many people know the new method of digging wells and frying salt with brine, someone will surely snatch the saline-alkali land next! "

"That's why his Wei family wants to cooperate with my Fuxing company? Let's go to another place to build a salt farm together?" The Taoist interrupted suddenly.

"Yes!" Guo Yi nodded in agreement.

The Taoist frowned: "But since there are so many choices, why should I choose the Wei family?"

He really didn't want to cooperate with the notorious Wei family, so as not to be stained with black.

But before Guo Yi responded, Xue Qingzhi explained, "Because he doesn't want to offend the Wei family now!"

They are all smart people!

"Yes! That's right!" Guo Yi smiled helplessly: "It was he, the Wei family, who first showed his favor to us. And no matter what his purpose is, we can't refuse it!"

The Wei family has developed for decades on Jinghu North Road. The tree has deep roots and intertwined roots. It is a proper local snake!

Even if you don't want to make friends, you can't easily offend her.

The toad on the feet, although it doesn't hurt people, but it's really intimidating!

"Even if you're not afraid of him, if he pulls you back and hinders your development, the loss outweighs the gain!"

The Taoist nodded silently, but Xue Qingzhi heard other meanings, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Erlang is such an aloof and proud person, I think he will be punished afterwards!"

Why did he say Guo Yi was arrogant?

Because the imperial examination is like a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses, even Chen Gangshi, the number one talented scholar in Jiangling, cannot be spared.

But Guo Yi dismissed it...

Is he not as good as Chen Bandit?Is it because he failed the imperial examination?

From Xue Qingzhi's point of view, this is definitely not the case.Being able to assist the King of Chu to make Jingbei Road survive the drought almost unharmed, of course His Royal Highness the King of Chu has contributed to it, but Guo Yi is definitely the most important one!
Such a person, do you think he failed the imperial examination?
joke!

Fools don't believe it!
He just didn't want to take the imperial examination because it was a waste of time.How could it be quicker to turn to the King of Chu and immediately display one's ambitions?

But because of this, Xue Qingzhi said that he was arrogant and arrogant, and that he wanted to settle the matter with the Wei family afterwards.

The Taoist was surprised to hear that, as the owner of the Fuxing Company, he knew the power of the Wei family better than Xue Qingzhi.

Ever since, he couldn't help looking at Guo Yi curiously.Could it be that this kid really has such a plan?

"The Wei family is too far away, I only look in front of me!"

I bother!

Little Fox!
Xue Qingzhi laughed and cursed inwardly, "How can a person like you, who is so wise, close to demons, arrogant and high-minded, allow others to sit on your neck and shit?"

Especially the kind of treacherous and evil person...

I can't stand it, let alone you?
Not not reporting, time is not here!
Only!

When the Taoist saw this situation, he immediately realized it, and nodded in agreement: "The first priority now is to increase the production of salt. You can earn income from selling salt, but you won't offend the Wei family. Well, that's good!"

He also thought that Guo Yi needed time to develop.

Moreover, in this way, the cooperation between the two of them to build a salt field can greatly increase the salt production and reduce the people's expenditure on salt!
In addition, if his Fuxing Company sold a large amount of salt, it could also lower the price of salt to a certain extent.
