The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

Chapter 271

Chu Zhuanglou also said: "Hangzhou County smuggles more than 30 yuan of salt every year, but because it is smuggled, it needs to avoid people's eyes and ears, and the channels are limited. In addition to official salt, it is conservatively estimated that Hangzhou County needs at least [-] yuan of private salt every year." Yu Wanyin, the imperial court gave me a production quota of [-] salts, and I will privately make at least [-] salts."

To put it bluntly, it is to protect the interests of the court first, and then to seek personal gain.

It's also a win-win situation.

Jiang Fuguang nodded: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Although the salt production is increased privately, the price of official salt will not drop due to the large local demand. While making money, it also prevents the remaining part of the people from eating private salt. Salt, the imperial court took the bulk and gave up some of the sweetness to the salt merchants, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

After careful calculation, Huang Jingzhou realized that the imperial court had indeed benefited, and his expression softened.

Commercial salt guaranteed the interests of the imperial court and enabled the common people to eat cleaner and healthier salt. The advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

In terms of business experience, no one can compare to Chuzhuang Tower: "The imperial government issues a quota of 30 yuan to local salt merchants every year. If the price is reduced to [-] yuan per bucket, it will lose [-] yuan per bucket compared to before. "

"However, a bucket of salt is charged 30% of the tax, that is, 3 yuan, 30 salt per county, equivalent to 3000 taels of salt tax per county, and the [-] counties of Zhejiang Province have an annual salt tax of [-] taels. In hundreds of counties, salt merchants alone pay more than [-] million salt taxes every year, and the imperial court earns tens of millions of salt taxes instead of losing money, which is a vested beneficiary.”

The imperial court is willing to distribute the private quota to businessmen, not to mention [-]% of the tax, even [-]% of the tax is also willing to do it.

Salt making is a huge profit.

Jiang Fuguang nodded: "The tax for each bucket of salt is [-]%, and it can't be lowered. The cooperation is for a win-win situation. The businessmen know their interests and know how to protect the interests of the court. It doesn't hurt to let them earn some private money."

"Only one point, all commercial salt that enters the market must be inspected to ensure that it is clean and healthy. If anyone dares to flow poor-quality salt to the market, he will be killed. No matter how the merchant jumps around, it will be under the control of the imperial court." between."

Chu Zhuanglou couldn't help lowering her head. This was the first time she saw the murderous side of the eldest princess. She said lightly, "No matter how rampant a businessman is, he is still in the hands of the court", which made people feel angry. Shy, but admirable, because she also saw the big picture of the eldest princess.

She doesn't mind businessmen making private money.

Also willing to let businessmen make private money.

The premise is that businessmen must be informed and interesting, and not overstep the line and harm the interests of the court and the people.

Huang Jingzhou's brows finally relaxed: "What the eldest princess said is very true, there are three purposes for reducing private salt, one is to allow the court to collect more tax money, the second is to make the people afford salt, and the third is to curb private salt. Salt, the manufacturer's salt, kills three birds with one stone, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

Yue Chen also agrees very much.

Jiang Fuguang nodded: "Thank you, Chu Maocai will make a detailed salt tax plan now, Yue Chen will write an analysis of the pros and cons of commercial salt, and its impact on the Southern Dynasties, Huang Yushi needs to explain the dangers of private salt, and the impact of private salt in the Southern Dynasty. The situation of flooding, and its influence and harm to the Southern Dynasties."

The three of them responded one after another.

"Bring it to me tomorrow morning at the latest." As soon as she finished speaking, her throat itched, she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed a few times.

Several people's faces tightened, and they could clearly see a little red on the veil, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes. Their previous feeling was really right.

The eldest princess is dying of illness.

It was because I was worried that I didn't have time to do the salt business, so I rushed to them to discuss it.

Ji Ruxuan offered her a cup of ginseng tea to drink, but she managed to swallow a couple of sips, but she couldn't swallow anymore. The ginseng tea leaked from the corner of her mouth and flowed onto the skirt of her clothes.

Ji Ruxuan had no choice but to take the ginseng slices from the box and let her suck them in. She opened her mouth and was so weak that she couldn't even speak.

The eyes of the group in Chuzhuanglou were red.

Ji Ruxuan hugged her, with a hoarse voice: "The Eldest Princess has submitted a letter to the imperial court, asking for credit for those who contributed money and efforts to assist the imperial court in the disaster relief in Xin'an County. Regardless of their background, anyone who contributes will be well-known. Your Majesty is A benevolent emperor will definitely reward meritorious deeds."

"The epidemic has been brought under control, and there is no tendency to spread. In two months at most, the government will arrange for the victims to return to their hometowns. Yue Chen is temporarily acting as the county magistrate. Now he will start preparing for the subsidies for the victims' return home. At that time, he will report to the court. The imperial court should arrange it as soon as possible, so as not to miss the livelihood of the people."

"The dam in Xin'an County should also be prepared for new construction, so that the victims can use their work for relief, and they cannot be left to starve."

"Epidemic prevention is a major event, even if the victims return home, it must continue, and we cannot give up halfway."

"..."

Huang Jingzhou couldn't help tears welling up in his eyes. These things must have been explained to the dark guard by the eldest princess early in the morning. Once she was too sick to speak, the dark guard would convey the words on her behalf.

"Princess," Huang Jingzhou knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty will do everything in his power to relieve the disaster and comfort the people, and live up to your trust. Don't worry!"

Yue Chen and Chu Zhuanglou also knelt down one after another.

Jiang Fuguang showed a gratified smile, and finally closed his eyes. Ji Ruxuan's eyes trembled, and he touched her breath with trembling hands, and suddenly pressed her against his chest.

In the early morning of the second day, the news that the eldest princess was critically ill was reported to Beijing.

"The eldest princess is coughing up blood, she can't eat anything, and she can't even feed her medicine. She has been in a coma since yesterday morning when she met Master Huang and explained a lot of things about disaster relief and epidemic prevention. A thousand-year-old ginseng hangs its life, I'm afraid it's..."

Habayashi, who came back to send the letter, knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Emperor Nanxing felt dizzy for a while: "Why, how could it be? Isn't it only seven or eight days since the onset of illness?" He was furious, "Where's the imperial doctor? Are they all eating dry food? Why didn't the eldest princess be cured?"

"The imperial doctor said," Habayashi Wei's eyes were red, and the majestic man couldn't help but choked up and lost his voice. It was useless to persuade. The epidemic in Xin'an County at that time was a critical period of spread and prevention. Dozens of hundreds of people died every day. , the health of the victims is worse than other disaster victims, and once the symptoms occur, they will be violent."

Li Taishou and Wang county magistrate were both imprisoned. Huang Jingzhou is a history of disaster relief supervision, so he can't interfere too much with the county government affairs. Although the family has assisted some, they can't interfere with the government affairs. These things are all on the eldest princess, 10,000+ The life and death of the victims rested entirely on her alone.

She dared not rest, nor could she rest.

No one dared to persuade her to rest.

Yue Chen temporarily took over the post of county magistrate, and the moment the eldest princess let go of her tense breath, she fell down.

Habayashi Wei held up a letter: "This is a private letter entrusted by the eldest princess to your majesty, and I have repeatedly told my subordinates to present it to your majesty for review."
