"I issue an order to reprimand King Fu for selling illegal salt, ordering him to immediately make up for the salt tax losses caused to the court, and hand over all those who sell illegal salt to the court's judicial office! In addition, give a decree to those in Henan Li Zhizao and Lu Xiangsheng from Luoyang, let them be responsible for urging!"
Zhu Youxiao immediately made a decision to urge King Fu to recover the loss from the court's salt tax.
I can't come to the capital if I'm sick, but it doesn't matter if I get money out.
"According to the order!"
Han Xu and other ministers immediately replied.
And this time.
Xiong Tingbi thought to himself: "Your Majesty wants to deal with the vassal kings at all costs because the vassal princes have too much wealth and are dragging down the court. It is obvious that your Majesty is not willing to see the Yangzhou salt merchants occupy too much wealth in the world. As a result, the number of commercial villages in the border towns has decreased and the military pressure on the imperial court has increased. His Majesty had previously expressed his dissatisfaction with Kaizhongfa when dealing with the salt merchants. He had to strike while the iron was hot. At this time, he asked Your Majesty to reform Kaizhongfa. If successful, he would It can enrich the border towns, strengthen the border defense, and prepare for the complete eradication of the Donglu in the future! What's more, now there is a basis for restoring the Kaizhong method. Before this, the output of the border villages was not high, which made merchants unwilling to work on the border. The town opened a trading village, but now, cold-resistant potatoes have begun to be promoted in Liaodong, and the yield is very good. It is obviously suitable for merchants to go to the border towns to recruit refugees to build trading villages, so as to strengthen the border towns. "
As soon as he thought of this, Xiong Tingbi stood up decisively and said: "Your Majesty, I also have something I want to report!"
Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiong Tingbi and nodded.
Xiong Tingbi hurriedly said: "I am requesting your Majesty to restore the Kaizhong law of exchanging military rations for salt, instead of exchanging tax money for salt. Your Majesty clearly understands that the current evil of Prince Fu's private salt sales stems from the bad salt administration and the bad salt policy. Yanyin was directly classified as a powerful person, which gave him the opportunity to erode salt interests. Now that King Fu has been talking about selling private salt, I boldly suggest that we should rectify the salt policy and restore the Kaizhong method before Xiaomiao, so as to collect salt from all over the world. It was issued in the military town, and the salt merchants needed to transport grain to the border town, and they could exchange grain in the hands of the military town. In this way, although the court lost more than two million in salt tax revenue, it could encourage a large number of merchants to go to the border town to farm. And to enrich the border towns, it will not cause the border towns to become deserted due to the inward migration of a large number of merchants, leaving the empire with no motivation to exterminate the Hulu!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "The salt policy should have been changed like this long ago. I will follow the advice of your beloved and immediately draft an order to implement it."
"According to the order!"
Xiong Tingbi replied.
Therefore, Han Xu glanced at Xiong Tingbi and thought to himself: "It is Xiong Manzi who loves reform so much to please His Majesty. However, although this will please Your Majesty, it will not please the world's rentiers. Let the salt merchants go to the border towns to stock up on grain in exchange for salt." Yin, isn't this a disguised form of taking advantage of businessmen? Although it benefits the world, it is not good for wealthy businessmen."
Xiong Tingbi quickly drafted the edict, and after it was approved by Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of etiquette, the imperial edict to reform and open up China and France was sent to the capital by a post sergeant on a fast horse.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao's imperial decree requesting the 1.8 million taels of salt profit from King Fu's private salt sales also arrived in Luoyang.
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard..."
King Fu Zhu Changxun became furious again after receiving the imperial edict.
He was really going crazy.
He really wanted to chop Zhu Youxiao into pieces now.
Because he didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao had gone so far as to fabricate crimes to demand property from him in order to seize his family property.
"In order not to leave the impression that he would suppress the heroes who followed him, he still showed some kindness to the heroes and nobles, and even took the initiative to clean up the houses of these heroes and nobles in order to protect them. We will destroy his unworthy descendants without exterminating his family. However, the tyrant has no merits for Your Highness and is even a threat. He only relies on the blood of the royal family to achieve his current status. He does not even need to show any kindness at all. He is worried about whether he will make his own people feel sad, and even in order to show the traitorous ministers around him that he will not hesitate to kill his relatives for the sake of their traitorous ministers, he will intensify his efforts to deal with you, His Highness, to prevent you from ruining everything and being cut off. The descendants will not give up!"
Ye Chuchun said excitedly: "Your Highness! Raise the troops! What are we waiting for?!"
"Father, it's only 1.8 million taels. Our Prince Fu's Mansion can still afford this amount of money. There is no need to quarrel with the court over this! Today's court is not the most powerful in the world when my grandfather was here. Your Majesty has all the troops and horses in his hands, and your Majesty still has enough confidants, who all control the power of the world, and together with your Majesty, control most of the money and food in the world, we are no match."
Zhu Yousong continued to dissuade.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao continued to glance at Ye Chuchun. His desire to strangle Ye Chuchun became even stronger now.
Because Ye Chuchun had been inciting his father to rebel, completely ignoring the gap in military strength between his own Prince Fu's Mansion and the entire imperial court.
Zhu Yousong sometimes also wonders how Ye Chuchun, who is so radical and even scolded His Majesty himself several times, is still alive today. It is because Ye Chuchun is very lucky, or the people in Dongchang are not that powerful, so he did not check. To him? Or maybe Ye Chuchun is from Dongchang?
Anyway, Zhu Yousong now wants to go to the Dongchang Anti-Corruption Department to report Ye Chuchun in person.
"His Royal Highness! Do you think that after the palace honestly takes out 1.8 million taels of silver this time, the tyrant will give up? It is true that the tyrant now has strong soldiers, but because of this, he is unscrupulous. He He is pressing forward step by step against His Royal Highness Prince Fu, and hopes that Prince Fu's Mansion will raise troops. As long as Prince Fu's Mansion cannot afford to send troops, the tyrant will continue to press him like this. This time it will be 1.8 million taels, and next time it will be 280 taels. Ten thousand taels, and the next time it will be 3.8 million taels, and the next time it will be 400, 500, or even 6.8 million taels. You are handing over all the wealth of the palace to the tyrant, and even His Highness and you are He will not give up even if he is a bull or a horse. How can he allow others to snore on the side of the bed! From the beginning of the war between the temple and the kingdom, you and the tyrant are destined to be incompatible!"
Ye Chuchun spoke excitedly. The prince in front of him named Zhu Yousong was too cautious, which repeatedly frustrated his plan to deceive King Fu into rebelling. Therefore, he now had to focus more on persuading Zhu Yousong.
Zhu Yousong calmly wiped off the Tumo Xingzi on his face with a silk handkerchief, and said calmly: "Mr. Ye, it is my father and my son who are going to be killed. Why are you so excited?"
"student!"
Ye Chuchun was stunned.
"The student had to be so excited because of the incident involving his mentor Tai Shanggong (Ye Xianggao)! The mentor was also motivated by the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers, and did not dare to do anything extraordinary to the tyrant. However, because of this, the tyrant could not catch his mentor. , and tacitly allowed the treacherous minister Xu Guangqi to send his friend Li Zhizao to assassinate his mentor!"
Ye Chuchun looked at Zhu Changxun as he spoke: "So, His Royal Highness Prince Fu, you should understand that even if you are like your mentor, abide by the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers, let them bully you, and never do anything to feel sorry for him, he will still not let go of you because of your cruel heart. As long as he wants to get rid of anyone who has passed you, he will get rid of him even if he uses secret methods!"
When Ye Chuchun said this, Zhu Changxun couldn't help but feel fear in his heart: "In your opinion, the only way is to raise an army?"
"Then we have to look at it again! Even if we want to raise an army, we can't do it just because of the 1.8 million taels of silver. We have to wait until there is no retreat. In addition, we can also have a chance to prepare in advance."
Zhu Yousong said something immediately at this time.
Zhu Changxun was still very clear-headed and nodded hurriedly: "The prince is right! Give him Zhu Youxiao 1.8 million taels of silver first! Now except for the imperial gift of Zhuangtou, most of my other properties have been confiscated by him. Now even a large sum of money has to be spent. Let me see what else he can do to force me. I can't take back the land given by the late emperor! Then don't blame me. The imperial edict of the late emperor came out! In addition, pass it on to me. If so, everyone in the palace should be more honest and don’t leave the royal city, and don’t let him and the minions around him get caught!"
