Chapter 123 Ju Ming's Layout, Vanves

At this moment, the entire street has been blocked by the heavily armed palace guards.

However, both ends of the street were full of people standing onlookers.

According to the government's work style, it is usually forbidden for ordinary people to watch.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as civilized law enforcement.

If the guards get impatient, it is not uncommon for them to attack the onlookers.

Therefore, when the people saw the streets blocked and heavily armed soldiers guarding the roads with swords.

They all just craned their necks to take a look, and then they were about to leave.

Or stand in the distance and look around curiously. If you can inquire about a little news, it can also become a topic of conversation after dinner.

As a result, when he saw clearly that the guards were wearing costumes, the fear dissipated immediately.

Because they saw that although the soldiers were holding weapons, the mark on their clothes was the Palace of the King of Han!
After several years of subtle transmission, it often helps the people to do some practical things.

The reputation of the palace guards is excellent!

It has truly been loved by the people!
Even if they are walking in line on the street with weapons in hand, the oncoming people will automatically give way, but they still have bright smiles on their faces.

It's not like the people on the road saw the officials of the government office patrolling the street, and they all ran away from each other!

Don't even dare to block the way!
Now seeing that it was the guards of the palace blocking the road, he stopped panicking and didn't leave.

He took the initiative to walk outside the pulled up cloth strip and probe to wait and see.

Because they know that according to the old rules of the palace, as long as they don't cross the warning cloth, the guards will not stop them.

Soon, the two ends of the street were full of people.

One by one, their eyes widened and they looked inside curiously.

Unfortunately, the street is too long.

From their position, they could only see the silhouettes of guards lined up in the distance.

Others will not be seen.

Someone boldly asked, "Master Jun, what happened inside?"

Originally, I was just asking casually, and I didn't expect that the other party would give an answer.

Unexpectedly, a hundred households in charge of blocking the street intersection stood beside the cordon.

He turned his head immediately, with a warm smile on his face.

Explained: "In order to let the people eat better quality refined salt, the King of Han deliberately recruited merchants from the Western Regions to set up shops in the feudal domain to sell it!
The palace also paid for the construction of salt production facilities for merchants in the Western Regions!

As long as everyone can live a good life, all the expenses will be borne by His Royal Highness Han Wang!

The purpose is to let the people in the domain eat refined salt that is as white as snow and no longer bitter in the mouth! "

The people around listened to the explanation, and their faces were stunned.

"Yes, yes, I know refined salt!"

"I even bought a catty!"

"I also have a pack I just bought!"

"It's really not bitter at all!"

"It's much better than local salt!"

"And the price is the same as local salt!"

"His Royal Highness is merciful!"

"...!"

The matter of refined salt has been widely known.

Among the crowd watching the excitement, there were still quite a few people who had just lined up to buy a pack and were holding it in their arms.

It is natural to know how much difference refined salt is from the bitter salt of the past.

Not to mention the same price as the previous local salt.

Even if it is twice as expensive, they feel that it should be taken for granted.

Originally, I wondered why the price of such high-grade table salt was the same as that of bitter local salt.

Now after listening to Baihu's explanation, I know that refined salt was imported from merchants in the Western Regions.

All the expenses in the early stage are borne by the palace.

This suppressed the profits that should have been raised.

Merchants in the Western Regions made money, and the people also bought cheap and high-quality refined salt.

It's just that Hanwang needs to bear the price difference for them.

Many people were secretly worried that if one day the palace could no longer afford the money, the price of salt would increase.

Fortunately, Baihu explained that as long as the production capacity increases, the cost can also decrease.

Unless the imperial court asks for a price increase, the domain will prohibit salt merchants from raising prices for the benefit of the people!
Although the imperial court may increase the price in the future, it is much better than the profit-seeking merchants.

The people can also accept it.

Just thinking that Hanwang paid for the high-quality refined salt out of his own pocket in order to let them eat high-quality salt, I was deeply moved!

Someone asked curiously: "Then the road closure of the palace is...?"

Baihu immediately explained: "Master Limu of the Salt Promotion Division has learned about refined salt, and the joint government government wants to increase the salt tax!"

"what!?"

"These damn things!"

"His Royal Highness pays the money, why should they increase the salt tax!"

"that is!"

"Your Highness, please be the master of the people!"

"Your Highness, please call the shots!"

"..."

Before Baihu could finish speaking, the surrounding people were filled with righteous indignation.

After all, everyone knows that wool comes from sheep.

Once the salt tax is raised, the price of table salt will inevitably rise.

In the end, it's not up to them to pay the bill!
If the previous onlookers were just watching the excitement, but now it involves vital interests, the mentality is different.

All the people present shouted for the King of Han to call the shots.

Baihu looked at the crowd filled with righteous indignation, and was amazed at Hanwang's way of manipulating people's hearts!

After this time, the hearts of the people in the entire fief will completely fall to Hanwang's side!
Even if the King of Han asked him to take up farm tools to attack the government, he would not hesitate!
Baihu hastily raised his arms high to signal everyone to be quiet.

He continued: "His Royal Highness has personally gone to the government office to discuss with the magistrate!
In order to prevent some people who are blinded by interests from harming His Highness, they brought troops here and sealed off the street! "

After hearing the narration, the common people showed worried expressions on their faces.

After all, it was less than 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Didn't the officials of the Yuan Dynasty be killed and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty driven away to have the present Daming?
It is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen again under the benefit!
Many people even ran home to bring farm tools, yelling that as long as the government dared to be unfavorable to the King of Han, they would rush in and fight desperately!
The guard on duty talked a lot, and then advised the people to wait quietly for the time being.

At this moment, Baihu finally understood why the King of Han had arranged for him, a man with a certain position and eloquence, to be on duty to answer the people's inquiries!

This hand is really high!
And the scene in front of him was going on simultaneously at both ends of the street.

It was also fortunate that Zhou Shuyi was in the government office and did not live broadcast the footage on the street.

Otherwise, netizens will definitely shout: This operation is too old and beautiful!
Although the government office is the official official office representing the imperial court, its prestige in the hearts of the people has plummeted at this moment.

The King of Han is the one who really makes decisions for his name!
In the middle of the street outside Fuya, Zhu Ming sat on a chair surrounded by guards.

Hearing the commotion from both ends of the street, the corners of his lips could not help but rise.

Secretly proud in my heart: Another wave of divine assists was given to me, this girl~ Wangfu!

Immediately, he tapped lightly with his fingers, and murmured: "It's time for the last trembling, it's time to get something real!"

suddenly
huh~!

Suddenly, a firework exploded in the sky.

Ju Ming looked at the dazzling fireworks in the sky and ordered: "Let's start!"

"Yes!"

Geng Qing bowed to accept the order, turned his head and commanded: "Rush into the car, get on!"
