Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 145 Watching the excitement?

Chapter 145 Watching the excitement?
Who doesn't watch the excitement?At least Yin Zuo liked to watch it very much. He got up early in the morning, ate his meal hurriedly, and drove to the palace in a sedan chair before dawn.However, Yin Zuo was not the first to arrive. A large group of important ministers, princes, and elder brothers were crowded in the court room and divided into several small circles to chat happily. When they saw Yin Zuo, the popular elder brother and prince, they went to each other. After exchanging pleasantries, it was mostly nonsense that the weather is good today and it might rain tomorrow. After finally waiting for the court time, the big guys lined up into the hall with happy faces.

"Invitation to the sage, the humble official has a book to play." After three shouts of long live, Nian Xialing, the new servant of the household department, took the lead in appearing on the book.

Nian Xialing, courtesy name Zi'an, originally from Huaiyuan, Anhui, was born in the Yellow Banner of the Han Army.Elderly comrades are slaves of the old fourth family. This comrade has nothing to say in his life. The only thing worth seeing is his eldest son, Nian Gengyao. Entered the court as an official.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen doesn't have many servants, not only the fourth son himself, but also his servants rarely perform on the court. When Lao Gao comes out, the big guys cheer up and want to do it I understand which play the fourth child wants to sing.

"Your Majesty, the servant of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said that the price of salt is high, people's livelihood is miserable, private salt is flooding, and the imperial government's salt tax revenue is decreasing day by day. I believe that the benefits of salt and iron are the foundation of the country. If it is not regulated, it may damage the country. ..." Lao Gao eloquently explained the shortcomings of the current salt administration in detail, and proposed several solutions:

First, the salt government envoy set up an anti-smuggling team to fight against smuggling salt dealers. The composition of the anti-smuggling team can refer to the green battalion system, and it is divided into two parts: water and land anti-smuggling.

Second, expand the scale of salt farms and increase the supply of salt.

[-]. Expand the number of salt merchants and crack down on illegal salt merchants who drive up salt prices.

[-]. Retail salt merchants exclusively sell under the quasi-sale system. All retail shops need to be licensed by the salt government envoy. Those without a license are not allowed to operate the salt industry, blocking the sales of private salt.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, most of the officials with real power in the courtiers had something to do with the salt merchants, and when the age increased, there was an uproar in the court hall, everyone whispered to each other, and the whole court hall followed The vegetable market is almost the same.The booklet of the old cake was very novel to the courtiers, but Yin Zuo didn't pay much attention to it. It was just the embryonic form of the tobacco monopoly system in later generations. When the excitement comes, it has nothing to do with oneself, and it is even more high-spirited.

As soon as the Nian Xialing Memorial was read out, Sibeile Yinzhen stood up first, knelt down and said, "Huang Ama, I think this is feasible. It can not only relieve the suffering of the people, but also increase the revenue of the court. It is really beneficial." The fact that the country benefits the people."

Hey, the fourth brother really can't wait, mother, it seems that Wu and Lin are really amazing, and they can see through the motives of the fourth brother to get close to us at a glance, hey, but then again, this book is not bad. , although it is not complete, but the basic structure is generally there. It is really not easy for that guy named Tang Guoming to come up with this method.Yin Zuo watched the reactions of the other elder brothers with cold eyes. With a glance, he found that the prince was happy. The eldest brother didn't care. But his hand kept changing gestures, communicating with the group of cronies below.

As soon as the voice of the fourth brother Yinzhen fell, before the old man Kangxi made a statement, He Longling, the censor of Shanxi Province, stood up first, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I disagree with the words of Nian Shilang. The tax is the foundation of annual income, so it should not be moved lightly, and even if it is to be moved, it should be mainly to crack down on private salt, expanding the recruitment of salt merchants may hurt the enthusiasm of existing salt merchants, once the salt administration is in chaos, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I think He Yushi's words are justified. Besides, the crackdown on salt smuggling is originally the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice has seized dozens of illegal salt dealers this year and seized thousands of illicit salt. It seems unnecessary to set up an additional anti-smuggling team." Niu Chunchen, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, immediately came out to oppose Nian Xialing's papers.

……

Lao Ba's group is very powerful in the court, and more than ten ministers came out to express their objections. All of them spoke with confidence and substance. Son.

Hehe, it's so lively, hey, it's enjoyable, it's really enjoyable, this scene is even more enjoyable than the blockbusters in the previous life, interesting, haha, everyone, let's continue to act, let's continue watching, don't stop.Yinzuo was happy in his heart, but his face was very calm. He stood with his eyes fixed on him. He never thought that he would be able to watch with enthusiasm. The old man said, "Yinzuo, what do you think?"

Depend on!Grandpa, have you ever made a mistake? It's an assignment from the Ministry of Household Affairs. It's none of our business. There's no reason for us to come forward, right?Yinzuo hated a lot in his heart, but the old man had spoken, and he was afraid that it would be impossible if he didn't come out, but what to say was a troublesome matter. As soon as Yinzuo came out, the courtiers were silent, and each looked at Yinzuo , the brothers also looked at Yin Zuo with different expressions, each of them was thinking, and the eager eyes all revealed the same meaning - support me!
Supporting anyone and not supporting anyone is a matter of offending others. Although Yin Zuo is not afraid of offending others, it is always a bit resentful to offend others for no reason--dead old man, it is obvious that you have made up your mind to rectify the salt administration No, you still want us to come forward and take the blame for that, shit! If we say we don’t agree, hey, your old board is probably ready, but if we say yes, we have no place to help the fourth brother take the blame, Tired!Grandpa, are you tired of playing balance all day?Yinzuo was grumbling in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He pretended to be thinking for a moment, and said solemnly: "I also think that the salt administration should be rectified, but there are priorities, and we should take it step by step. , don’t mess up the scale.”

"Huh? Tell me, I'm listening." Mr. Kangxi smiled.

"I believe that the reason for the high salt price is indeed related to the current improper salt administration, but it also has a lot to do with the inability to increase salt production. I think it is more appropriate to expand the salt farm first, then expand the salt merchants, and then crack down on illegal salt. Moreover, the salt class is the foundation of the imperial court's annual income, and there must be a limit to the expansion of salt merchants' recruitment. If there are too many salt merchants and the profits are too thin, I am afraid that there is something wrong." Yinzuo's words roughly pointed out the age The insufficiency in that booklet also gave Lao Ba a chance, that is, to control the number of salt merchants. As for how many salt merchants there should be and how to define the anti-smuggling team, Xu Zuo didn't mention it at all, so that The eighth child fought with the fourth child, since Yinzuo didn't intend to reap the benefits from the salt class anyway, so neither of them should offend.

Everyone is not a fool, and it is natural to see that Mr. Kangxi may have decided to rectify the salt administration, so he no longer raised those opposing opinions. They are all thinking about how to get some benefits from the newly expanded salt merchants. Tang fell silent.After a strange period of calm, Lao Ba Yinhu finally stood up, there was nothing he could do, this master had too much interest in the salt merchants, so he couldn't do without his head.

"Reporting to Emperor Ama, I think what King Yi Jun said is very true. You can't give up because of choking when you rectify the salt administration. There must be a degree. I think that salt merchants can expand their enrollment, but how much is the key. Only after some investigation can we draw conclusions..." The old eighth talked freely, with a look of complete selfishness, which made the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who was standing by the side almost turn his nose out of anger—investigate, hey, when did the investigation last , how to investigate, and who will investigate, that's God knows. If it is dragged to the end, the reform of the salt administration is still a situation that cannot be resolved.

As soon as Lao Ba finished speaking, Xu Zhen stood up immediately and said in his mouth: "I would like to report to Huang Ama, my son is willing to preside over this investigation, please give permission to Huang Ama."

Prince Yinreng also got up and said softly: "Huang Ama, I think what the ministers said is reasonable. Since this matter is a matter of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is better to let the Ministry of Household Affairs investigate."

"Sure." As soon as the old man opened his mouth, none of the big guys had anything to say, but they were all thinking about how to get a share of it.

Damn, I planned to watch the excitement, but was caught by the old man and blamed, bad luck!Yinzuo was very upset, he didn't bother to go to the office of the Ministry of Industry after the court was over, and he didn't take a big sedan chair, he rode on a horse and went straight to the house in Xiaochuanzi Hutong, where there was Wang Xifeng waiting for Yinzuo to comfort him.

Yinzuo led a group of guards to Xiaochuanzi Hutong on horseback, got off the horse, and ran directly to the backyard. As soon as he entered the backyard door, he heard a pipa sound coming from inside. "Farewell", the sound of the pipa expresses the heart, lightly picked and slowly twisted like a beautiful cry.A low singing voice sang softly with the sound of the pipa, which reminded Yin Zuo of the two lines in Bai Juyi's famous "Pipa Xing" - three or two plucked strings on the rotating shaft, and there is love before the tune is formed.Xianxian suppressed his voice and thought, as if complaining that he had failed in his life.

Yin Zuo felt sad for a while, knowing that he had wronged him, he listened silently for a while, sighed quietly, walked slowly behind Wang Xifeng who was sitting alone in the small pavilion by the pond, and called out in a low voice: "Feng'er .”

Facing the pond, Wang Xifeng's body shook violently, and seemed to freeze, the sound of the pipa stopped abruptly, and there was an awkward silence in the pavilion after a long time of silence.Yin Zuo took a long breath and said: "Feng'er, I..." Yin Zuo didn't know what to say, but the oppressive atmosphere forced him to speak again, and just halfway through speaking, he suddenly Realizing that I couldn't continue talking, I had to stop.

"Oh, needless to say, Feng'er knows, you have your own difficulties, I..." Wang Xifeng couldn't continue, stopped with sobs, two lines of tears flowed down Bai Yu's flawless cheeks involuntarily.

Yinzuo felt a great pain in his heart, and hugged Wang Xifeng from behind. Wang Xifeng shook his hands, and the pipa fell lightly into the pond. He fell into Yinzuo's arms and burst into tears. chest, crying: "You, you, why are you a prince, woo woo..."

Why is it the prince?Oh, can this be up to me?Damn, I sleep well at home, and when I wake up, I will be a prince. God knows what happened.Yinzuo said with some depression: "My dear Feng'er, stop crying. If you cry again, this king will cry too."

Yinzuo's pitiful words made Wang Xifeng laugh through tears, and gave Yinzuo a hard fist with a small powder fist, saying: "You lied to me."

cheat?Hey, yes, but we lied to you because we love you, right?Ordinary people want us to lie, but we don't care about him, hey, can't we say this clearly?Yinzuo lowered his head and kissed Yuren'er's teary face lightly, and said with a smile: "ah, that, hey, it's my fault, I should hit, I should hit, or Feng'er hit me a few more times To vent your anger?"

"Fuck you." Wang Xifeng gave Yinzuo another blow with annoyed face, and she also felt it was funny after beating, so she couldn't help showing off her face and smiling, the rainy pear blossom-like smile immediately fascinated Yinzuo so much , with peach blossoms in his eyes, watching Wang Xifeng swallow her saliva, that stupid look made Wang Xifeng laugh out loud, and scolded: "Stupid!"

Hey, just smile, silly?This is a sweet word, only a girl in love would say that, hahaha, it's great, my Feng'er is back.Yin Zuo was agitated for a while, and he couldn't help adding some strength in his hands, and hugged Wang Xifeng tightly in his arms, so startled that Wang Xifeng screamed: "Ah, it hurts."

Eh, embarrassingly big, using force in the wrong place.Yinzuo quickly let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Good Fenger, I miss you so much." He lowered his head and was about to give him a deep kiss, but Wang Xifeng turned his head and gave him the back of the head, which made Yinzuo feel resentful. But he didn't dare to say anything.

Wang Xifeng broke free from Yinzuo's arms with all her strength on her waist, calmed down, looked at Yinzuo and said, "How does the lord plan to deal with Feng'er?"

How to deal with it?At this moment, it is impossible to take Wang Xifeng back to the mansion, and I don't know when the status will be. If it is other women, it will be easy to handle, but Wang Xifeng's wildness is afraid that he cannot accept the matter of no name and no status.Yinzuo's scalp tingled for a while, the most troublesome thing finally came, but he couldn't do without answering, facing Wang Xifeng's calm face, Yinzuo didn't know what to say...
