Take the Warehouse To The Great Ming

There was a little silence in the hall, and everyone was suppressed by Fang Xing's sudden opposition and explosion.

Zhu Zhanji's fist on his side was clenched tightly. He remembered Fang Xing's previous words about the lawlessness of the wealthy businessmen, and that the wealthy businessmen have no country, and his heart was murderous.

Zhu Gaochi was still sitting under Zhu Di like a Maitreya Buddha. With a slight movement in his heart, he asked, "Is there any basis for Xing Hebo's statement?"

Fang Xing said: “Yes, when the minister checked the salt merchants in Yangzhou, the household department had records of the amount of property. Secondly, Shan/Xi originally produced grain, and Jiezhou produced salt. In other words, the salt merchants in Shanxi only needed Transport the grain collected by the government to Datong Town not far away to get the salt, and then you can easily earn the money when you go back."

"This is not a salt merchant." Fang Xing sneered: "This is a transport merchant, and it's speculation. If you can get a huge amount of wealth by shipping alone, the minister feels worthless for the soldiers who are defending the Ming Dynasty with their lives at the border. ! I feel unworthy for the officials who work hard in the court."

"Furthermore, those salt merchants have accumulated a large amount of property and don't know the rewards, all day long arrogant and lavish, spending money like dirt, can such merchants expect them to do anything to Daming?"

Jin Youzi frowned and said, "Is Xing Hebo alarmist?"

The salt merchants of the Ming Dynasty have been on a journey of fortune since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but have yet to see any trend of expansion in power.

Fang Xing said: "At this moment and then, at this moment, my Ming Dynasty is in full swing, and those wealthy businessmen are dormant and enjoy, but if they have the opportunity, they naturally don't mind looking for a master who can give them greater benefits!"

There was no sound in the hall, and everyone was stunned by Fang Xing's prediction.

Zhu Di said solemnly: "Xing He Bo has evidence."

If there is no proof, you dare to say such things. The memorial to be played tomorrow will drown Zhu Di.

He has evidence of farts!

Including Xia Yuanji thought this way, and felt that Fang Xing had passed it a bit.

"His Majesty."

Fang Xing said calmly: "When the minister was in Yangzhou Mansion, those salt merchants were extravagant, and the results of the home ransack showed that they were not short of money, but why did they go to smuggle salt?"

Daming has always dealt with private salt dealers heavily, but when those salt dealers are not short of money, they even risk their heads to sell private salt.

Why is this?

"Insufficient heart!"

Fang Xing said categorically, "If you have ten thousand taels of silver, then they will think about twenty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels, even if the family has one million, they will still not be satisfied. This is human nature."

Seeing Jin Youzi's disapproval, Fang Xing stabbed: "Are there any officials who don't want to be Shangshu?"

Huh!

As soon as these words came out, the big brothers in the hall were a little unnatural.

This Fang Xing actually used the minister as an example. Isn't this humiliating people face to face?

"When Daming can't satisfy their selfish desires, they dare to smuggle outside the Great Wall as long as they give a gap. Weapons, food...nothing they dare not smuggle!"

This time even Hu Guang looked at him, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the rich merchants, especially those near the border, smuggle weapons, food, and grass. This is true. So Xing Hebo's words, the minister thinks it is desirable. Place."

This is Hu Guang, he will fight for orthodoxy with Fang Xing, but will abandon these disputes over the big issues.

Jin Zhong immediately added: "Your Majesty, since Emperor Taizu Gao, merchants have been banned from smuggling outside the Great Wall. Xing Hebo said that."

Zhu Di nodded slightly. He didn't know, but Daming needed a stable financial source. If he didn't use a salt merchant, what would he use?

After observing his words and feelings, Jin Youzi said loudly: "Xing He Bo, but Daming is so big, if there are no such salt merchants, how can salt be delivered to thousands of households?"

This is a problem. Every citizen needs salt. If salt cannot be delivered to various places in a timely and effective manner, the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly. He knew that this matter was difficult or not, but the bad ideas came out in an endless stream.

But Fang Xing just gave Zhu Zhanji a look.

At this time you have to show your political stance, otherwise you will always be a crown prince who has not grown up in the eyes of the officials.

And Zhu Di is obviously happy to see his grandson's performance at this time, so he encouraged Zhu Zhanji: "Zhanji, you can talk about it."

As for Zhu Gaochi, his political ability has been fully revealed since the time of Jing Nan, and there is no need to show off in this way.

Zhu Zhanji said solemnly: "Grandpa Emperor, grandson thinks... why can't it be an official camp?"

boom!

Everyone was dizzy by the bomb thrown by Zhu Zhanji.

Before the Ming Dynasty, salt and iron were both government-owned and an important source of financial resources.

But when Daming was founded, the whole country was like a broken house, leaking air everywhere, and it was useless except for the strength of the soldiers.

There was a shortage of food at the border at that time. If the official transported it by itself, the price would be too high, so Zhu Yuanzhang decisively introduced private capital, that is, open China and France.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Kaizhongfa solved the problem of food shortage at the border due to insufficient financial resources, and provided a material foundation for the stability of the border.

Even today, even if shipping is abolished, with the opening of the canal, the mode of opening China and France has fallen behind, and it can only make the merchants cheaper.

But this is an ancestral system!

Everyone watched their noses, and dared not speak.

The big boss above is to maintain the ancestral system as his own responsibility. Will Yanzheng change it?

Zhu Di looked at the imperial case expressionlessly, and said for a long time: "We will discuss this matter again."

The crowd bowed and sent away the three of Zhu Di's family. When they were about to leave, Hu Guang exhorted: "Today's affairs must not be leaked~www.readwn.com~ If there is any leakage, this official will report to your majesty for disposal!"

Fang Xing's heart moved, and he bowed his hand to Hu Guang before leaving the hall.

Xia Yuanji woke up with a few steps and said with joy, "Dehua, if I can be an official, then I will have a big profit, and my official's life will be so much better!"

Fang Xing nodded and said: "This matter depends on your Majesty's meaning, but... the steps!"

Xia Yuanji said well knowingly: "If this matter is done, it will be good for all ministries, so it shouldn't be difficult to work together."

Fang Xing said: "State affairs and private affairs, I hope you don't regard Confucianism as a state affairs."

Xia Yuanji sighed slightly and stopped talking about this topic.

Before leaving the imperial city, Fang Xing was caught up by Liang Zhong.

"Uncle Xing, Your Highness said the word illegal."

Fang Xingxin said in a comprehensible way: "You report to Your Highness, this kind of treatment couldn't be more appropriate."

When he returned home, Fang Xing found out about Jin.

After hearing this, Xie Jin thought for a long time, and then said: "Dehua, Shanxi merchants are not good at first, but after the opening of China and France, they took advantage of the convenience of local grain and salt production, and they accumulated a lot of money in a short time. Money was then blended into Lianghuai."

"Is this a monopoly!"

Fang Xing analyzed: "Jiezhou’s pond salt occupies an important share in the north. This is Beiyan. The Lianghuai area is Nanyan. The purpose of Shanxi merchants is very clear, that is, they want to monopolize the salt industry of Daming. Time……"

Xie Jin also said in a little horror: "At that time, the strength of the Shanxi merchants is so strong, can the court control them?"

Of course not!

Fang Xing said: "At that time, the bachelors and officials at all levels will have their spokespersons. This Ming has become a merchant empire. But these merchants have no attributes. In their opinion, as long as there is a need, they will change the day. It's just ordinary..."
