    Hu Youshan sighed: "The salt industry in Yanqi Kingdom is monopolized by the relatives of the Long family. It was a practice decades ago. When it comes to old things, they are all bad things about sesame seeds and tangerine peels. I don't bother to talk about them."

    "In short, in the end, this unwritten rule was formed. The foreign relatives are in charge of the tobacco leaves, and the money earned from the business will enter the national treasury. The practice has continued without change."

    "His Royal Highness has arrived, and the salt industry should make changes."

    "Even if they still manage Long Zhengyang, they can't let them continue to dominate. Of course, if they attack them, it will inevitably affect His Highness's reputation and make people criticize His Highness."

    Hu Youshan said: "So the best way is to introduce new salt and new salt merchants. His Highness can arrange human salt sales as an official operation to gradually replace the Long family's salt industry."

    Du Qi thought about it quickly, but did not immediately agree to the proposal of selling salt.

    Because transporting salt from the mainland, on the one hand, the journey is long and the cost is very high.  On the other hand, strategic materials such as salt are all purchased from the mainland of the Central Plains, which is easy to form dependence. After all, it has to rely on local businessmen, who form the official business.

    Du Qi thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Hu, the people under my command will not interfere with the matter of the salt industry. This king authorizes you to take full responsibility for this matter."

    Hu Youshan said: "I obey my orders."

    To talk about rectifying the salt industry monopolized by the relatives of the Long family, he is not without means.  It's just that the profit of the salt industry is huge. If Hu Youshan intervenes without authorization, he is worried about what Du Qi will think.

    So, please ask Du Qi to arrange someone to take charge.

    Now that Du Qi doesn't intervene, Hu Youshan can make drastic arrangements.

    In addition, this is also a small thought of his.

    A little trial.

    See if Du Qi delegates power.

    For such a big matter in the salt industry, Du Qi has delegated power, and Hu Youshan has completely relaxed and stopped worrying.  Hu Youshan said no more, got up and left.

    Du Qi watched Hu Youshan leave with anticipation in his eyes.  Luo Yansheng of Yizhou served as the governor of Yizhou, developing people's livelihood and encouraging businessmen. Although there were tax exemptions as rewards, the taxation of Yizhou increased year after year, and the growth was extremely rapid, making Yizhou quite prosperous. This is Luo Yansheng's ability.  Hu Youshan's ability is not inferior to Luo Yansheng's, so Du Qi is also looking forward to the development of Yanqi Prefecture.

    People like Hu Youshan are not inferior to Luo Yansheng in ability.

    Hu Youshan left the palace and went straight home.  At this time, the old housekeeper came up to greet him, and said impatiently: "Master, what kind of official will King Pingxi arrange for you?"

    Hu Youshan glared at the old housekeeper, and said, "You old fellow, what does this have to do with you? You have a lot to do with it."

    The old housekeeper has long been used to Hu Youshan's temper, he smiled and said: "Isn't this just a little curious, after all, the master's official position is related to the dignity of our family."

    Hu Youshan said in a deep voice: "I am the governor of Yanqi Prefecture now, and I am in charge of the government affairs of Yanqi Prefecture. There must be countless people who will visit my home in the future. Remember, as in the past, you cannot accept any gifts or money, and you must not set up thresholds.  "

    The old housekeeper said: "Look at what the master said, I know this."

    Hu Youshan waved his hand, the old housekeeper went down, Hu Youshan returned to the study, and first sorted out the things to be done in the leadership of Yanqi Prefecture, the reforms to be carried out, and the reforms to be carried out in the salt industry.

    After Hu Youshan thought about it, he had an idea.  His method is actually very simple. The government issued a notice saying that the government allowed other salt merchants to sell salt in Yanqi Prefecture, provided that it was approved by the government.

    This is the easiest way.

    He doesn't support the salt merchants of the Long family, but supports them in the ring.  You must know that the salt merchants in Yanqi Kingdom were all controlled by relatives of the Long family, and they monopolized the salt industry, and the rest were not allowed to enter.

    Now the rest of the salt merchants can be allowed to enter, and with competition, the price will naturally decrease.

    After Hu Youshan sorted out the matter, he first went to the governor's office in Yanqi Prefecture.  Today's Yanqi State Governor's Office is located not far from the palace, very close to it, which was arranged by Du Qi alone.

    When Hu Youshan went, some small officials knew the news.

    So Hu Youshan entered smoothly.

    Hu Youshan knew the officials of Yanqi Prefecture well, so as soon as he took office, he directly issued a series of orders to transfer all the officials who used to be in the court of Yanqi Kingdom and fill them in the Governor's Mansion, which made the government affairs of the Governor's Mansion very fast.  It works.

    When everything started to work, Hu Youshan asked someone to post a notice to prepare for the selection of new salt merchants.

    The news spread quickly.

      The people of the entire Yanqi Kingdom know about it, and ordinary people don't know about it, so they don't care about it.  Anyone with a little bit of knowledge knows that there is one emperor and one courtier. Now that Du Qi is in charge of Yanqi Prefecture, he naturally wants to make reforms.

    On the other hand, there is no abolishment of the Long family's salt business, and there must be competition between the two salt industries. These knowledgeable people know that this is to suppress the Long family's salt industry.  s price.

    This is a good thing.

    The news spread to the Long Family Salt Shop in the shortest possible time.

    The person in charge of the Long Family Salt Store is Zhang Zicheng, who is Long Zhengyang's uncle.  In fact, Zhang Zicheng opposed Yanqi's surrender to Du Qi. He believed that Yanqi should not surrender directly, but should win or lose in a single battle.  However, his opposition was useless. After all, although Zhang Zicheng only took charge of the salt industry in the court, he did not play a decisive role in social affairs or government affairs.

    Zhang Zicheng heard the news from the governor's office that Hu Youshan was the governor of Yanqi Prefecture, and he wanted to recruit new salt merchants, which was clearly aimed at him.  In the past, Zhang Zicheng's dealing with new salt merchants was extremely simple, all he needed to do was arrange people to beat him to death with sticks.  Or, if you say a few threats, everything will be resolved.

    Now, there is no way.

    The Yanqi Kingdom is gone, and his former relative is worthless.

    Zhang Zicheng couldn't just sit like this, he immediately changed his clothes, left the shop and went to Long Zhengyang's current residence in the city.  Long Zhengyang's residence was actually quite spacious and luxurious, and he was not suppressed just because he surrendered to Du Qi.

    After all, Long Zhengyang is still King Yanqi.

    When Zhang Zicheng saw Long Zhengyang, he couldn't wait to say: "Your Highness, Hu Youshan is such an old bastard! Back then, I persuaded you not to trust Hu Youshan. He tricked you into surrendering for his own self-interest. This person,  It is extremely hateful to be a thief without dying."

    Long Zhengyang said: "Uncle, what happened?"

    Zhang Zicheng said: "Don't you know, you lost the Yanqi State, but Hu Youshan, an old man, is already the governor of Yanqi Prefecture in a blink of an eye, and he is in charge of Yanqi Prefecture."

    "impossible!"

    Long Zhengyang said: "Many people know that Taifu Hu resigned and never became an official."

    Zhang Zicheng also heard about the fact that Du Qi summoned the people to talk to them, and then the people went to persuade Hu Youshan, so he explained it immediately, and then said: "Let me tell you, this is a plan by Du Qi and Hu Youshan to plot against you  , It was for you to see him. In this way, he was forced to become an official again, so no wonder he, after all, the persuasion of thousands of people is caused by public opinion."

    Long Zhengyang said: "Uncle, I believe the Grand Tutor, he is not such a person."

    Zhang Zicheng became anxious immediately, and said, "Your Highness, why are you so stupid. Do you know what Hu Youshan did as soon as he took office?"

    Long Zhengyang said: "What's the matter?"

    Zhang Zicheng gritted his teeth and said: "As soon as Hu Youshan took office, he started to attack our salt shop. He has arranged for people to post a notice in the city, inviting new salt merchants to sell salt in Yanqi Prefecture."

    After a pause, Zhang Zicheng continued: "Tell me, isn't this aimed at us? The salt industry is His Royal Highness's pocket. With the salt shop, His Highness has no worries about food and clothing, no matter how much you spend.  The situation will be different when the new salt merchants run on it, and the sales will definitely drop. At that time, it will be good to be able to make a small amount of money." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
