Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 510: The kitchen household is transferred to the people
Shandong.

Governor's Yamen.

"Shilang Yuan, you have to think clearly about this matter."

Yuan Keli looked seriously, stared at Yuan Shizhen and said: "Considering the current situation in Shandong, if you want to try out the new salt reform policy in Shandong, if anything happens, not to mention my Shandong Yousi, there will definitely be a large number of people in the court alone. I will impeach you."

"The emergency and disaster relief departments under the Shaofu have stationed themselves in the most severely affected areas in Shandong Province. They have allocated a large amount of money and food to implement work-for-relief measures to pacify the local areas. The results achieved today are hard-won."

"I know very well what Governor Yuan is worried about."

Yuan Shizhen lifted his robe sleeves, faced Yuan Keli's gaze, and said calmly: "It is precisely because the results are hard-won that some things must be done."

"Governor Yuan is the governor of Shandong and knows the situation in Shandong best. Since the earth dragon's rise has affected Yanzhou, Dongchang, Jinan and other prefectures and counties, no one knows what Shandong has gone through better than Governor Yuan, not even my own official. .”

"Ordinary people still have the option of fleeing when a disaster strikes, but what about Zao households? Even if their whole family dies, they can't flee. Does Governor Yuan think this is fair?"

Is it fair?
After hearing this, Yuan Keli had a look of sadness on his face.

"And this is not the end. I am afraid that some people in the capital will also react in Beijing. After all, the salt reform involves more than just Shandong."

"If Shilang Yuan wants to promote the conversion of kitchen households to civilians in Shandong, he must consider what the salt merchants in Shandong and the many officials in the Salt Road Yamen will do."

In fact, there were many people like Yuan Keli in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty. It was precisely in this way that the Ming Dynasty was able to be maintained and passed down.

There is indeed a lot of evil in this world, but we cannot deny the good side.

If there was really fairness in this world, there wouldn't be so many injustices!

"If the salt reform in Shandong can be successfully completed, then the scope will inevitably be expanded. By then, many people in the major salt-producing areas will suffer losses."

Because fairness is not something you say with words!

Yuan Keli did not answer Yuan Shizhen's question. In Yuan Keli's eyes, whether it was fair or not, he would come forward to maintain the situation, but he could not do it if he was asked to talk loudly.

If there was justice in this world, there wouldn't be so many tears!

"Under the rule of Shandong, there will inevitably be a surge in salt prices, and even a trend of illegal salt sales. All of this is to force the official to leave Shandong."

Yuan Shizhen frowned slightly and said: "Once the transfer of kitchen households to civilians begins, the low-cost labor will no longer be available to them. This will undoubtedly affect their interests."

Ever since he became an official, especially when he was serving at the local level, although the word fairness still existed in Yuan Keli's heart, everything he encountered was unfair!
If there was justice in this world, there wouldn't be so much misery!

"I have already thought of it."

Although he has seen and heard more, the fairness in Yuan Keli's heart has never changed. What he has to do is to keep fairness under his rule.

Yuan Shizhen knew very well what he wanted to do. He came to Shandong from the capital, especially when the earth dragon turned over during the period, which made Yuan Shizhen see too much misery.

Especially in the prefectures and counties under Shandong, the lives of those households that have been passed down from generation to generation cannot simply be described as miserable.

Obviously they have put in the most hard work, but what they get in return is that they can't even fill their stomachs. This is without an emergency. Once this happens, they will have nothing but selling their children and carrying high-interest debt. Others can get through it!
Homeowner farmers can still survive by selling their land. But Zaohu couldn't even sell his land.

Because the vast majority of kitchen households have no land at all in their names!
With land, there is a way out, so who can still work hard to dry salt and make salt?
"Shilang Yuan can do this in Shandong, but the Shandong Governor's Yamen will not take a stand."

Under Yuan Shizhen's gaze, Yuan Keli pondered for a moment, "But I feel that Yuan Shilang can communicate with the emergency and disaster relief officials, as well as Cao Wenyao's department in advance."

Originally, when he heard what Yuan Keli said, Yuan Shizhen's expression changed a little, and he was even a little excited. But after hearing what Yuan Keli said next, Yuan Shizhen's expression changed.

"You can't show all your cards."

Under Yuan Shizhen's gaze, Yuan Keli said in a low tone: "Although a water transport case caused many groups under Shandong to suffer losses or even be uprooted, the situation in Shandong is special. A water transport case runs through it. This also means that things in Shandong cannot be viewed solely from the perspective of Shandong."

"Yuan Shilang wants to promote the transfer of Zao households to civilians. The fundamental reason is to get Zao households out of their humble status. However, if they want to get rid of their humble status, it is not enough to change the yellow registration list. They need to have the confidence to do so. But what is the confidence? "

"land!!"

Yuan Shizhen's words are concise and concise.

"Yes."

Yuan Keli nodded and said: "The current scale of official land in Shandong has increased a lot after the water transport case, but it is far from enough to resettle so many kitchen households."

"So I want to play a double act with Yuan Shilang and strive to clear up the salt administration in Shandong and get rid of all the scum that collude with others."

"Then the next transfer of Zao households to civilians will be done by the people led by me."

Yuan Shizhen narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "When necessary, Governor Yuan can submit a memorial to Beijing to explain the impact of what he has done in Shandong on Shandong."

Yuan Keli smiled, but didn't say much else.

"Governor Yuan wants more than just cracking down on illegal salt administration, right?" Seeing Yuan Keli's behavior, Yuan Shizhen seemed to have thought of something, "Does he also want to crack down on those who drive up food prices?"

Yuan Keli still said nothing, but nodded slightly.

"Well, this black-faced official is here."

Yuan Shizhen lifted his robe and stood up, bowed to Yuan Keli and said: "This worship is for nothing else, but for the people of Shandong!"

"Someone has to do some things after all."

Yuan Keli stood up, avoided Yuan Shizhen's salute, and then raised his hand to return the salute to Yuan Shizhen, "If you are an official just for the sake of being an official, then everything is meaningless. Shandong has to solve more than just the salt policy. I hope that Through this salt reform, Shandong’s situation can be completely opened up.”

As the Minister of Salt Law, Yuan Shizhen thought about salt reform, which not only involved Shandong, but also affected many places. If Shandong's salt reform could not open up the situation, there would be no follow-up.

As the governor of Shandong, Yuan Keli was thinking about the whole of Shandong. In this land, it was not just the salt administration that had problems. This problem could not be solved by killing a group of people or arresting a group of people. The long-standing shortcomings in the system If it is not eradicated, everything will remain the same!
