The best little eunuch

Chapter 131
Chapter 131
"My lord, you are going to the Yandao Yamen..." Yao Xing didn't finish his sentence, because he already knew what Lin Feng meant, and immediately said: "Yes, my lord, I'll do it now."

The efficiency of Qi Heihu and Yao Xing is not unpleasant.Basically, in just two days, they all found what Lin Feng wanted.

"My lord, this Tang Haiming is a native of Nanjiang. Ten years ago, he was admitted as a Jinshi. He studied in the Imperial Academy for five years, and then he was sent to the magistrate for three years. After that, he participated in politics as the chief envoy of the Si Yamen. He was transferred to Liangjiang Salt Road last year The yamen is the Daotai." Qi Heihu began to tell Lin Feng about Tang Haiming.He even mentioned some of his usual living habits.

Tang Haiming is quite well-behaved, and his official career can be considered average.The speed of promotion is also reasonable.But it's strange that Qi Heihu didn't find out who Tang Haiming's backer was after so many investigations.Lin Feng would never believe that Tang Haiming had no interest corps.There is no one in the court, how could Tang Haiming sit in the fat vacancy of Yandao Yamen.

Holding the information investigated by Qi Heihu, Lin Feng read it carefully.Hope to find some clues from it.However, Yao Xing's arrival interrupted Lin Feng's thinking.

"My lord, what you want has been found out." Yao Xing said to Lin Feng: "At present, Liangjiang Salt Road Yamen is mainly responsible for the use of salt in the south of the Yangtze River, including the capital, and in the northwest and southwest. It was provided by Jiannan Province, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Liangjiang Yandao Yamen."

"How high is the profit of this salt, have you found out?" Lin Feng asked, this is what he is most concerned about.Only when he knows the profit can he formulate the corresponding tax rate.

Nodding his head, Yao Xing said: "I found it. The salt that comes out of the salt field is about two taels of silver per load, but after being sold by the Yandao Yamen, it becomes ten taels of silver. Moreover, some salt from the Yandao Yamen Shops will also add sand to the white salt, so the price of salt is actually higher.”

"The profit is so big?" Lin Feng asked in disbelief.With a net profit of [-]%, this Yandao yamen is really too dark.

"Every household cannot lack salt. No matter how expensive it is, the common people have to buy it." Yao Xing also came from a poor family, so he naturally knows the value of salt.

"Do you know about their trafficking network?" Lin Feng asked.

Taking out a drawn map, Yao Xing said, "Here."

After receiving the map handed over by Yao Xing, Lin Feng began to think about it.

Generally speaking, the salt trafficking route of Yandao yamen is a network with Nanjiang as the center and scattered in all directions.It can be seen from this website that at least half of the country is provided with salt by the Liangjiang Salt Road Yamen. That is to say, the Liangjiang Salt Road Yamen controls the edible salt of more than half of the country's population.Calculated according to the huge profits of salt, the income of Liangjiang Salt Road Yamen is indeed considerable.

According to the information fed back from Yao Xing, Liangjiang Salt Road Yamen pays only 100 million taels to the court every year.Even a layman like Lin Feng didn't believe this number, but the ministers in the court did.Lin Feng believes that they are not fools, so there is only one possibility: they all have dividends.It is precisely because there are dividends, so everyone joins the fire to pit the court.

"This is really an unsolvable problem." Lin Feng put down the information collected by Qi Heihu and Yao Xing, sighed, and said.

Although this problem is difficult to solve, Lin Feng has to find a way to solve it. The salt industry is indeed a piece of fat.If one-third of the income of the salt industry can be withheld in the three provinces, then Lin Feng does not need to collect commercial taxes at all, and it is enough to support the development of the three provinces.It's a pity that this piece of fat meat is not so delicious.

After urgently calling Qi Heihu, Lu Shuai, Yao Xing and Li Wenyuan, Lin Feng said, "I'm going back to Beijing."

"Back to Beijing?" Lu Shuai asked in surprise.How many days has Lin Feng been here?So you want to go back to Beijing?

Nodding his head, Lin Feng said: "That's right, go back to Beijing. The root of the Yandao Yamen issue lies in the capital, and it must be resolved in the capital. In Nanjiang, this problem cannot be resolved."

"My lord, forgive me for speaking bluntly, even if you go back to Beijing, this matter cannot be resolved. This is no longer the matter of any official, but the matter of most officials in the court. There are too many involved." Li Wenyuan told Lin Feng Said.During this period of time, Li Wenyuan also gradually learned about the Yandao Yamen, and the more he understood, the more frightened he was.The Yandao Yamen is no longer just a Yamen, it has become a major source of income for the ministers of the court.

"This matter must be resolved. The Yandao Yamen has become a malignant tumor, and this malignant tumor must be cured." Lin Feng said, if this continues, the Great Yan Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later.Divide the money that originally belonged to the imperial court privately, and the Yandao Yamen has crossed the line.

Although he didn't know what kind of cancer Lin Feng was talking about, Li Wenyuan also knew from Lin Feng's words that Lin Feng was going to attack the Yandao Yamen, and he was going back to the capital to play games.

"After I leave, Mr. Li will be responsible for the specific formulation of commercial tax rates for other industries, but don't implement them for the time being. Everything will be decided after I come back." Lin Feng said to Li Wenyuan.Then after explaining some things to Lu Shuai, Qi Heihu and Yao Xing, Lin Feng went to say goodbye to Ruan Ling'er.

"Are you going back again? How long will you be going this time?" Ruan Ling'er held Lin Feng's hand and said with some reluctance.In the past few days, the relationship between them has heated up rapidly. If Lin Feng is not busy with work, they will almost stick together.

Of course, during this period of time, Lin Feng did not take advantage of Ruan Linger.And Ruan Ling'er seemed to be used to being taken advantage of by Lin Feng.

"This time the matter is more troublesome, but I promise you, as soon as the matter is settled, I will come back immediately." Lin Feng promised Ruan Ling'er.

Nodding silently, Ruan Ling'er said, "Alright then, I'll wait for you in Jinling City."

"I will be back as soon as possible." Lin Feng said after kissing Ruan Linger's small mouth.

When Lin Feng turned and was about to leave, Ruan Ling'er suddenly said: "Wait a minute." Then, taking advantage of Lin Feng's inattention, she quickly kissed Lin Feng on the cheek, and then ran away with a pretty face flushed.

Seeing Ruan Ling'er's shy appearance, Lin Feng said, "As for it? What a big deal." After finishing speaking, he laughed silly.

Taking Niu Jin and a few guards with him, Lin Feng and the others rushed towards the capital without stopping.

"My lord, why are you suddenly in such a hurry to go back to the capital? Is there something urgent in the capital?" Niu Jin asked as he followed Lin Feng on horseback.

"No, I'm going back to Beijing to do some business." Lin Feng said.Then he urged the horse to move forward quickly.This kind of long-time horseback riding made Lin Feng's horseback riding skills improve rapidly.At least, he is not as rookie as before.Now Lin Feng can also gallop on horseback.

This time rushing to the capital, Lin Feng and the others didn't stay anywhere, but went straight to the capital, so it took only three days to arrive in the capital.After returning to the mansion, after taking a shower, Lin Feng went into the palace.

Lin Feng's sudden return surprised the Queen Mother and the others.The Queen Mother, who was playing cards with Qiuxiang and Yongning, forgot to play cards when she saw Lin Feng.

"Why do you..." Looking at Lin Feng, the Queen Mother was so surprised that she was a little speechless.

At this time, Yongning and Qiuxiang noticed that Lin Feng was back.Qiuxiang's performance was a little better, but Yongning yelled, "Why are you back?"

"I have something to do. I need to come back and discuss it with the Queen Mother and the Emperor." Lin Feng said.

Looking at the Queen Mother, Yong Ning said obediently: "Sister-in-law, Yong Ning is leaving." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, but when passing by Lin Feng, Yong Ning obviously made a massage movement, the meaning couldn't be more obvious up.

Lin Feng just nodded knowingly and didn't say much.After Yongning left, Qiuxiang also found an excuse to go out.There were only Lin Feng and the Queen Mother in the room.

"You...why did you come back all of a sudden?" The queen mother looked at Lin Feng and asked stammeringly.Could it be that he missed himself?The queen mother thought in her heart, but her pretty face was getting redder and redder.

Sitting next to the Queen Mother, Lin Feng said: "Something happened in the south of the Yangtze River, and we need to go back to the capital to solve it." As Lin Feng said, he told about the affairs of the Yandao Yamen.

"What you said is true?" The Queen Mother asked angrily after hearing Lin Feng's words.

Nodding his head, Lin Feng said: "It's absolutely true. If it weren't for such a big matter, I wouldn't rush back."

"If this is what I told you, then this matter is really difficult to deal with." The queen mother said.If most of the ministers in the DPRK were involved, then this matter would be troublesome, and it would be really difficult to deal with it.

Nodding silently, Lin Feng said: "I also know it's difficult to deal with, so I rushed back to discuss with you. See if there is any good way."

"I don't know how to deal with this matter." The Queen Mother said, "Why don't you ask Ai's brother?"

"Alright, then I'll trouble you to recruit Mr. Zhao into the palace." Lin Feng said.After he returned to Beijing, even Jin Quan and Ding Quan on his side did not dare to discuss with them. Who knows if they participated in it?

Zhao Di immediately entered the palace after being summoned by the Queen Mother.When she was about to salute the queen mother, the queen mother said: "Second brother, didn't I say that? When there are no outsiders around, there is no need to be so polite."

"This is all etiquette." Although Zhao Di said so, he did not insist on saluting.Seeing Lin Feng next to the Queen Mother, Zhao Di was taken aback. Didn't Lin Feng go to the south of the Yangtze River to collect taxes and train soldiers?Why did it appear in the Hall of Kindness?

"Master Zhao." Looking at Zhao Di, Lin Feng stood up and greeted him.
