"If you have something to report, if nothing happens, leave the court."
"800 miles urgent, some officials colluded with thieves to blow up the salt fleet."
At this moment, a 800-mile urgent soldier stood outside the hall and shouted.
"pass"
Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly said calmly.
In fact, Zhu Youjian had known about this matter two days ago, but in order to see the attitude of the officials, Zhu Youjian did not tell anyone else about it.
"Your Majesty, this is..." The hurried soldier from Babaili took out a letter from the bamboo tube behind his back and respectfully handed it to the eunuch at the side.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way. You have completed the task very well. Go down and have a good rest first."
Zhu Youjian said.
"There is no need to submit the letter, you can just read it there."
"As commanded."
“On July 29, a group of gangsters attempted to assassinate the prefect of Suzhou and disrupt Suzhou. On August 1, more than 150 gangsters, carrying nearly 5,000 kilograms of explosives, boarded more than ten small boats and tried to blow up a salt ship under cover of night.
Fortunately, it was discovered in advance.... "
The news that the salt ship was intact was hidden by Zhu Youjian.
The reason for this is that the court's funds have been a bit tight recently, and Zhu Youjian wanted to make some money.
Even in order to act more realistically, after Zhu Youjian learned that someone had the idea of transporting salt ships, he directly ordered the salt transport fleet to be divided into three parts.
Some people want to sell salt at a high price, why wouldn't Zhu Youjian not want to?
After the introduction of salt, the production of salt in Ming Dynasty increased greatly.
In addition, the imperial court tightened border control, which greatly reduced the flow of salt to the grasslands.
Even if the price of salt were to be cut in half compared to before and the people's salt consumption increased, the salt production in Ming Dynasty still far exceeded the consumption.
Although Daming has been promoting snowflake salt to the outside world in recent years.
There is still overproduction.
The total salt stored in the secret salt warehouses of Qiming merchants in various places is enough to feed the people of Ming Dynasty for a year.
Coupled with the salt stored in official warehouses in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that even if there is no salt production in the Ming Dynasty for two years, the people of the Ming Dynasty will not be short of salt.
There is a lot of salt and a lack of money.
This is one of the main reasons why Zhu Youjian dug a hole for the powerful landlord after learning that someone was trying to rob the salt ship.
But digging a hole is digging a hole, and the top priority now is to deal with this matter.
"Your Majesty, salt is very important to people. If there is a lack of salt, people will have no strength, and problems will occur over time. The top priority is to block the news immediately. At the same time, order the salt production plants in various places to transport salt to the north immediately. At the same time, blockade At the northern border, the export of salt is prohibited.”
Punishment is not punishable by history and law.
"Your Majesty, the army is the foundation of the country's stability, so I suggest that we first bring two months' worth of salt from the official warehouses in various places to the military camps."
Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of War, said.
After Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, in order to strengthen military control, he ordered military camps in various places to have granaries that could store food for one month. However, due to money issues, except for the border troops, other local armies generally only retain salt for 10 days.
"Yes. I will do as you said. But who should be sent to Suzhou to handle this matter?"
Zhu Youjian first affirmed what Shi Kefa and Lu Xiangsheng said, and then changed the subject and directly cut off the possibility of Baiguan and Xini.
In fact, Zhu Youjian wanted to watch the show.
But what kind of personality he has, the officials below him know clearly. For such a big matter, according to Zhu Youjian's personality, he must find a solution as soon as possible.
For a small amount of money, Zhu Youjian could only commit his own petty thoughts.
