Quick wear: the host is so flirtatious, the substitute is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 207 Becoming a Rebel Secret Guard (7)

In less than a month, Rong Ci's plans were all messed up, and the benefits all fell to Rong Yan.

Song Yang, the matter of salt merchants, water conservancy...

This made Rong Ci have to suspect that there were spies in his palace.

But after a few days of investigation, there was no result, which caused Rong Ci's face to remain gloomy.

On the other hand, not only did Rong Yan get a lot of benefits here, the salt merchant incident even made his father look up to him with admiration.

Illegal salt sales have always been explicitly prohibited by the imperial court, and it is all government business.

However, it is still repeatedly banned, because of its large profits, many people still take the slant.Some officials engaged in the salt industry in the imperial court colluded with the people in some places to sell private salt for personal gain.

Illegal salt made the court's salt unable to be sold, and lost a large part of the funds.

Rong Ci originally wanted to draw out other gangs from an official who was caught for self-interest, so as to gain the appreciation of his father.

Unexpectedly, the method Rong Yan came up with was better than his to solve the problem from the root.

Rong Yan handed over the memorial to the emperor before he tricked out other officials, which contained methods to deal with private salt affairs.

Of course it wasn't Rong Yan's idea, but Jiang Rao's.

After all, his brain is not that bright.

First of all, start with the most downstream salt dealers to reduce the tax on local official salt.

As the source and supplier of the entire chain, salt dealers have to risk their lives to obtain salt, but also give most of the profits to salt merchants, and they earn very little.

When the profits of official salt and private salt are almost the same, the salt dealers waver.

After solving the salt dealers, the next step is the big salt merchants.

Increase the setting points for selling salt, and gradually disintegrate the selling power held by the big salt merchants.Moreover, the annual tax of the big salt merchants has to be paid by a percentage.

Under the ebb and flow, the economic capacity of the big salt merchants was overwhelmed, and more salt administration was in the hands of the imperial court.

According to this approach, it has achieved remarkable results.

The loss of the imperial court gradually decreased and the profits increased, the emperor was naturally happy, and praised Rong Yan in front of all the officials, not to mention rewarding him a lot.

Later, Rong Yan made another contribution to the water conservancy.

This made some officials directly take refuge in him in private, and Rong Ci's power in the court was lost to him for a while.

……

"boom--"

Hearing the sound of things being smashed to the ground, the people kneeling on the ground just lowered their heads.

I have become accustomed to it.

After all, the second prince's aura is in full swing recently, so he is naturally unhappy that Rong Ci has been overwhelmed.

After venting Rong Ci, he felt a little better, but the fact that he lost to Rong Yan really made him unhappy.

He saw the trembling maid on the ground and suddenly thought of something.

"Dark one."

The person who was guarding the roof quickly flew down, opened the door and entered the house.

He leaned over and saluted, "Master."

Rong Ci lowered his eyes slightly, covering the dark emotions in his eyes, "How is the situation of the female guard in the Second Prince's Mansion?"

He has been busy with these things these days, but he has forgotten that he still has his own manpower in Rongyan Palace.

An Yi replied: "An Wu hasn't sent any news recently, so..." He didn't know either.

Rong Ci narrowed his narrow eyes.

Could it be that she betrayed herself?

But thinking that she didn't know his plan, Rong Ci dismissed the idea.

"Then contact her, and don't give the antidote if it doesn't work."

An Yi paused for a moment, then responded, "Yes."

……

It's getting dark.

A carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed slowly on the wooden table in front of the window, making a few "coo-coo" calls.

After a while, bony fingers landed between its legs and took out the letter from the special bamboo tube.

The white cassock rippled slightly in mid-air, and then fell back to its original place.

After reading the contents of the letter, the man's black eyes were as cold as ink.

This troublemaker is quite sympathetic to him.

　Hey, two more, I tried my best.

　　The update this month will not be too stable, because there will be a teaching qualification test at the end of the month, so I will focus on it and spend less time coding.

　　But I try my best to make more and more every day (ˊˋ*)
