His identity has not changed at all, but he seems to have suddenly transformed into another, more noble person.

Enjoying the excitement brought by fame and power, Sun Yifang became more diligent and serious about competing for the top position. Following You Hongyin's advice, he no longer followed his own hobbies, and read some books every day or discussed certain issues with his staff, cooperated with his wife to completely clean up the servants in the house, and set some rules that had never been done before. .

Just when Sun Yifang was improving himself, You Hongyin made his second move.

Chapter 9 The Dream Lantern Turns to Ashes (9)

Since ancient times, salt and iron have been government-run. There are many reasons, but they are inseparable from the reasons of taking advantage of the people and suppressing the chaos of the people.

Nowadays, mining technology is not yet available, and most of the iron ore is collected from surface enriched ores, which are in short supply. At the same time, in order to limit the number of folk swords, You Hongyin of Tieguanying thinks this is the best method now and does not want to change it.

But salt is different.

The reason for Yanguanying is definitely not only the production, the salt is also a disguised means for the court to make money, and it can also prevent the salt from flowing out into the grassland foreigners, etc.

However, under the Salt Policy, there was too much blood and tears. Although the imperial court was just established and there were not many shortcomings, it was inevitable that this would become an uncut tumor attached to the huge empire in the future, causing endless disasters.

But there was no better way, and the emperor could not think of a solution. He could only choose the lesser of two evils. It was better to have salt in the hands of the court than in the hands of a few forces. After all, salt is so important. It is not only a necessity for survival, but also serves the function of food preservation. It is because of the existence of salt that certain things can be transported and traded over long distances. It can be said that the status of salt in this society is comparable to that of oil in modern society.

You Hongyin didn't want to challenge something as sensitive as abolishing the salt policy. He just wanted to improve some methods and put an end to illegal salt.

The emergence of private salt is because the price of official salt remains high. The reasons for the high price of official salt are firstly the high production cost. Boiling salt is the most mainstream method of making salt today. Second, transportation costs are high, and not every region produces salt. Most inland is lake salt and well salt. There are not many production areas, and most of them are in places with rugged terrain and inconvenient transportation. In addition, salt-related officials are stretching their hands, and the managers of the salt field are exploiting themselves. Naturally, the price of official salt cannot go down. In some places, local parents and officials are stricter, and the price is still acceptable. In some places, it may be too expensive to eat salt. Can't afford it at all. In this case, there is naturally room for private salt to survive. Even if the law prohibits heavy sentences, it cannot stop it. For the sake of profit, private salt merchants will not stop, and for the sake of survival, the people will not stop buying.

You Hongyin wrote the words 'cost' and 'transportation' on the paper, and at the same time made an ink dot on transportation.

The food had to be eaten in one bite. Sun Yifang was already quite popular now. If he really intervened in the salt policy, he would be courting death. Therefore, the second move launched by You Hongyin was to build roads.

In fact, the current road construction methods are not bad, and some good roads can last for many years. However, the cost is very high, both in terms of materials and manpower. This is the fundamental reason for limiting road construction.

So You Hongyin took out the big killer weapon of cement. The cement formula is not difficult, but with today's production technology, the only way to use calcination is to consume a lot of resources. Fortunately, now that the porcelain industry is developed, the process of burning cement and burning bricks and burning porcelain are similar, at least in terms of production. No problem.

Sun Yifang has been preparing for the official assessment for a while, and has been so busy that no one is around. After much deliberation, You Hongyin decided to officially launch the move after the official assessment is over. He is very concerned about Sun Yifang's work this time, and it depends on how much the master he wants to support can learn after it is over.

During this period, the princess came over and said, "I have a candidate for the girl that sir likes."

You Hongyin said: "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."

Zhao Han declined: "Things that are easy to do are not worthy of such courtesy from sir. This woman is not well-known, and her family is considered to be an official family, but she is not noble. However, her father is a fifth-rank Zhan Shifu Yu De, and has a good relationship with the prince. . Her mother just took her out for a walk recently. I observed her and found that she is the type of girl that my husband is looking for. If he is interested, I will go and find out her wishes."

"Prince Zhan Shifu's decree?" You Hongyin has learned some arty ways recently, holding a paper fan in his hand. After hearing Zhao Han's words, he said: "There is really nothing better than this." ”

Then he closed the fan and said: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. This girl is naturally not the one I want to marry. She has other uses. It's just that you and I will help His Highness handle the affairs of the back house. His Highness is currently presiding over the official examination. There is no need to inform His Highness to distract him."

Zhao Han was confused: "Sir?"

You Hongyin said: "The prince has been married for nearly ten years, but he has no children. It's just that His Majesty the Queen passed away, and His Majesty was busy with state affairs and could not think of this time."

After all, Zhao Han was not a fool. He seemed to have noticed something and hesitated: "Sir, this does not seem appropriate."

You Hongyin said: "I'm just providing you with an opportunity. In the end, it's still my decision how I choose."

Between morality and her husband, Zhao Han chose her husband.

The first encounter in life is the most unforgettable. Peach blossoms and beauties in white are the unchanging romance in men's hearts since ancient times. Zhao Han did not do anything, and she did not need to do anything. She just praised the wife of Cai Yude, the Minister of the Imperial Household, for being fertile and raising children, and her daughter would not have trouble getting married in the future. Finally, when preparing for Sun Yifang's birthday banquet, she chose Shenyou Garden as the venue. Not only did she invite many brothers such as the prince, but she also invited a group of female relatives, including the selected Miss Cai.

The rest of the things were arranged by You Hongyin. The goddess had a heart, and even if the King of Xiang had no dreams, he did not mind bringing back a concubine who was "easy to raise". In addition, this woman was the daughter of Yude, the Minister of the Imperial Household. In order to keep his ears clean in the future, it would not be a loss to marry her back.

A marriage was decided in the endless peach blossoms of Shenyou Garden. The man was talented and the woman was beautiful. It seemed to be a match made in heaven.

Zhao Han was quite scared for a while, and had been waiting for something to happen in the prince's backyard with a conflicted mood. But in fact, the princess was very generous and took good care of the concubines brought back by the prince. The Cai girl was pregnant in just three months after entering the prince's house, but she was weak and the fetus did not stay still. However, the prince comforted and loved this girl and did not cause any waves.

Zhao Han once thought about what Mr. Liu was thinking. Did his plan fail and he made a good match for the prince in vain? But she was busy managing the affairs of the backyard on weekdays, and had to help her husband deal with some family diplomacy, so she gradually let this matter go.

At the same time, Sun Yifang's work in the Ministry of Personnel was also completed. This experience brought him a lot of growth. Before, his understanding of the entire court was still limited to those who stood during the court session, and at most those famous aristocratic families in Kyoto. However, after the civil service examination, he had a clear understanding of the entire court official system, and remembered many people in his mind, including their personalities, political achievements, character, talents, and so on.

At this moment, he understood why Mr. Liu said that he would make detailed arrangements for future matters after he completed his work this time. Presumably, for Mr. Liu, no matter how much support others give him, it cannot match his own ability. He has the ability to handle national affairs, so he is qualified to compete.

Sure enough, after his evaluation work came to an end, Mr. Liu hosted several banquets in Liuhe Dreamland. After talking with him about many things, he took another action.

Let him use a new thing to build roads.

"This formula can be operated by the government for a period of time, and the profits can be used to build official roads, or the formula can be sold, and those big merchants can take pictures of the formula with the length of the road as the fee." You Hongyin only talked about some feasible plans in general, and did not think about everything carefully and completely. He hoped that Sun Yifang would do this thing from beginning to end this time: "Your Highness, there are many ways to use this recipe. This time I do not agree with Your Highness directly handing it over to His Majesty like new grain seeds. It is best for Your Highness to handle this matter as a training." Sun Yifang thought about it for two days and decided to follow You Hongyin's advice. He really didn't handle many things alone. Although the road construction was trivial and hard, and even had to leave the capital, it might really be as the gentleman said, he would definitely gain something. After Sun Yifang discussed with his staff for half a month, he reported the matter to the emperor. After discussion, the Ministry of Revenue calculated the cost. After much discussion, the emperor decided to build a commercial road connecting various prosperous areas on the basis of the current official road. The rich households in various places provided money and grain, the local people provided manpower, and the court provided this construction material called "stone soil".

At the same time, the stone soil was officially operated for two years, and the formula was made public after two years, and it could be sold to the public. ^思^Rabbit^在^线^Read^

After Sun Yifang left Beijing, You Hongyin was more relaxed. The prince did feel something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason. He was not in a good mood, so he was not careful. There were many noble families around who were eyeing this piece of fat meat. For a while, they couldn't find any handle on the prince, but these people were very tricky. They didn't want to do it with real knives and guns, so they just started a public opinion war. No matter what the prince did in the court or in the trivial matters of daily life, if there was anything wrong, there would be some rumors everywhere.

No one could stand this kind of life of being watched all day long. The prince was so angry that his mouth was blistering.

You Hongyin pushed it twice, but not too much. He didn't want to reveal some flaws and become trouble in the future. So this time, he was more of a bystander.

Sun Yifang and the prince were growing stronger and weaker, but You Hongyin didn't think that everything would be fine if he defeated the prince. The real obstacle to Sun Yifang's progress was not the prince, but the emperor himself.

Unfortunately, You Hongyin couldn't find a big flaw in the emperor for the time being, which was why You Hongyin's actions were more to enhance Sun Yifang's own strength, rather than to reduce the prince's strength.

"Tsk, every founding monarch is not an easy person to deal with."

Chapter 10 Dream Lamp Burns to Ashes (Ten)

Spring passed quickly, summer was gone in the blink of an eye, and when the autumn harvest season came, Sun Yifang returned.

Even with the ‘stone soil’, Sun Yifang’s trade route was difficult to build, but because of the stone soil, the speed was several times faster than normal road construction. And Sun Yifang’s own experience during this period also made him actually understand how to use his subordinates, and made him understand that even if they are royal family members, some people have ways to fool you and will not listen to you obediently. Stripping off his own identity, he really participated in the real things, and also understood what interests were intertwined under those seemingly natural things.

What surprised You Hongyin was that the second prince actually came to the door.

Although the second prince Sun Heyan and Sun Yifang were brothers from the same mother, Sun Heyan was a little unruly, and because of his sexual orientation, he was punished by the emperor a little severely. In order to avoid implicating others, he did not have close contacts with Sun Yifang.

"You are playing with fire." No one knows his brothers better than Sun Heyan, so the fact that the prince did not find it does not mean that he did not find it.

Sun Yifang was surprised, realizing that his actions seemed to be seen through by his brother. He did not think of quibbling and denying, and then he tried to argue: "Brother, we are both children of the emperor, and my ability is not worse than the prince. Why don't I fight? Will I be so mediocre for the rest of my life? When the emperor is alive, maybe we can still do something, but what about when the prince ascends the throne? Look at the eldest uncle and the third uncle. There are many people in the whole capital who know them, but how many know that they are doing nothing at home and can't do anything? I don't want to live that kind of life."

Sun Heyan: "My Sun family is worshipped by the people of the world. The descendants of the Sun family are born nobles, so they naturally have to pay the price. What does this have to do with the prince."

Sun Yifang said: "Brother also saw that I can do better than the prince. Ordinary people's inheritance of the family business depends on the ability of their descendants. Why is it that in our family
