    There was a bit of silence in the hall, everyone was calmed down by Fang Xing's sudden objection and outburst.

    Zhu Zhanji clenched his fists at his sides tightly. He remembered what Fang Xing had said before about wealthy businessmen being lawless and wealthy businessmen without a country, and murderous intent suddenly arose in his heart.

    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 what Uncle Xinghe said?"

    Fang Xing said: "Yes, when I inspected the salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture, there was a lot of property. The Ministry of Household Affairs has records. Secondly, Shanxi produces grain, and Jiezhou produces salt. In other words, the salt merchants in Shanxi only need to  The grain collected by the government can be transported to Datong Town not far away to obtain salt, and then you can easily earn money when you return."

    "This is not a salt merchant." Fang Xing sneered: "This is a transportation merchant, and he is speculating. If you can get huge wealth just by transportation, then I feel that it is not worth my life to protect the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at the border.  ! I feel unworthy of the officials who work conscientiously in the court."

    "Furthermore, those salt merchants accumulated a large amount of property without knowing anything in return, and spent their days arrogantly and extravagantly. Can such merchants be expected to be of any benefit to the Ming Dynasty?"

    Jin Youzi frowned and said, "Is Uncle Xinghe exaggerating?"

    The salt merchants of the Ming Dynasty have been on a journey to make a fortune since the early Ming Dynasty, but so far they have not seen any trend of expansion in power.

    Fang Xing said: "At this time, at this time, the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, and those wealthy merchants are dormant and enjoying it. But if there is an opportunity, they naturally don't mind looking for a master who can give them greater benefits!"

    There was a moment of silence in the hall, everyone was stunned by Fang Xing's prediction.

    Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Uncle Xinghe has some evidence."

    "If you dare to say such things without evidence, Zhu Di will be drowned in the impeachment memorial tomorrow."

    He has proof of fart!

    Even Xia Yuanji thought so, and felt that Fang Xing had gone too far.

    "Your Majesty."

    Fang Xing said calmly: "When I was in Yangzhou Prefecture, those salt merchants were extremely extravagant. The results of the house raids also showed that they were not short of money, but why did they still go out to buy illegal salt?"

    The Ming Dynasty has always dealt with illegal salt dealers severely, but those salt merchants actually risked their heads to sell illegal salt even when they were not short of money.

    Why is this?

    ¡°People¡¯s hearts are not enough!¡±

    Fang Xing said flatly: "With ten thousand taels of silver, they will think about twenty thousand taels or thirty thousand taels. Even if their family has one million, they still won't be satisfied. This is human nature."

    Seeing Jin Youzi¡¯s disapproval, Fang Xing jabbed, ¡°Are there any officials who don¡¯t want to be ministers?¡±

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    As soon as these words came out, the big guys in the palace felt a little unnatural.

    This Fang Xing actually used the minister as an example. Isn¡¯t this humiliating people in person?

    "When the Ming Dynasty could not satisfy their selfish desires, they would dare to smuggle outside the Great Wall as long as there was a gap. Weapons, foodthere is nothing they dare not smuggle!"

    This time, even Hu Guang looked at him sideways. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, wealthy merchants, especially those close to the border, smuggle weapons, food and grass. This is why I think what Xinghe Bo said has merit.  place."

    This is Hu Guang. He will compete with Fang Xing for orthodoxy, but he will abandon these disputes when it comes to big issues of right and wrong.

    Jin Zhong immediately added: "Your Majesty, since Emperor Taizu Gao, merchants have been prohibited from smuggling outside the Great Wall for many times. What Xinghebo said is true."

    Zhu Di nodded slightly, he didn¡¯t know, but the Ming Dynasty needed stable financial resources. If they didn¡¯t use salt merchants, what would they use?

    After Jin Youzi observed the words and expressions, he said loudly: "Uncle Xinghe, the Ming Dynasty is so big. Without these salt merchants, how can we deliver salt to thousands of households?"

    This is a problem. Every common person 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 would not be a problem for Fang Xing, who had endless bad ideas.

    But Fang Xing just gave Zhu Zhanji a look.

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

    And Zhu Di was obviously happy to see his grandson's performance at this time, so he encouraged Zhu Zhanji: "Zhanji, tell me."

    As for Zhu Gaochi, his political ability has been fully demonstrated since the Jingnan period, and there is no need to show it off in this way.

    Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice:"Grandpa Huang, my grandson thinks why can't it be an official camp?"

    Boom!

    Everyone was stunned by the bomb thrown by Zhu Zhanji.

    Before the Ming Dynasty, salt and iron were owned by the government and were an important source of income.

    But when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the entire country was like a broken house, with wind leaking everywhere, and except for the strong military, it had no merit.

    At that time, there was a shortage of food at the border. It would be too expensive for the officials to transport it themselves, so Zhu Yuanzhang decisively introduced private capital, which was called Kaizhongfa.

    In the early Ming Dynasty, the Kaizhong Law effectively alleviated the problem of food shortage at the border due to insufficient financial resources, and provided a material basis for the stability of the border in the Ming Dynasty.

    Today, even if sea transportation is abolished, with the opening of the canal, the model of opening China to France has fallen behind and can only benefit those businessmen.

    But this is an ancestral system!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

    The big boss above takes it as his "responsibility" to maintain the ancestral system. Will he change the salt policy?

    Zhu Di looked at the imperial court expressionlessly, and after a long time he said: "We will discuss this matter later."

    Everyone bowed and sent away Zhu Di's family of three. Just as they were about to leave, Hu Guang told him: "Today's events must not be leaked to anyone. If there is any leakage, I will report it to His Majesty and deal with it!"

    Fang Xing's heart moved and he bowed his hands to Hu Guanggong before leaving the hall.

    Xia Yuanji followed Fang Xing a few steps and said happily: "Dehua, if it is a Nengguan camp, then my Ming Dynasty will have a big income, and my life will be much easier!"

    Fang Xing nodded and said: "This matter depends on His Majesty's wishes, but there are steps!"

    Xia Yuanji said knowingly: "If this matter is completed, it will be beneficial to all departments, so it should not be difficult to work together."

    Fang Xing chuckled and said: "State affairs and private affairs, I hope everyone will not regard Confucianism as a state matter."

    Xia Yuanji sighed slightly and stopped talking about this topic.

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

    "Uncle Xinghe, His Highness mentioned the word illegal."

    Fang Xing said with understanding: "You can report this to His Highness, this is the most appropriate way to deal with it."

    After returning home, Fang Xing came to find out about Jin.

    After hearing this, Xie Jin pondered for a long time, and then said: "Dehua, Shanxi merchants are not outstanding. It's just that after the opening of China, they took advantage of the convenience of local grain and salt production, and it didn't take long for them to accumulate a lot of money."  Money was then mixed into Lianghuai."

    "This is an attempt to monopolize!"

    Fang Xing analyzed: "The pool salt in Jiezhou occupies an important share in the north, which is the northern salt. The Huaihe and Huaihe areas are the southern salt. The purpose of the Shanxi merchants is very clear, that is, they want to monopolize the salt industry of the Ming Dynasty.  hour¡­¡­"

    Xie Jin also said with some horror: "At that time, the Shanxi merchants will be so powerful, will the court still be able to control them?"

    Of course not!

    Fang Xing said: "At that time, the bachelors in the court and officials at all levels had their spokespersons, and the Ming Dynasty became a merchant empire. But these merchants have no attributes. In their view, as long as there is a need, they can change their lives.  It¡¯s just ordinary¡± (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
