That's it... During this time, there will probably be a lot of innocent dead souls added to the world.

but……

There is no way!

They can only sacrifice themselves.

Both prime ministers sighed inwardly.

Then, they heard Xiaoguan's childish voice.

"In that case, I will share some of my thoughts with my two husbands..."

"If there are any shortcomings, please correct me and point them out promptly. Don't be hesitant because of my words!"

As he said that, Zhao Xu also looked at Fan Bailu behind the screen.

Naturally, he also cares about his own image.

pity!

He had no way to read the words in his own record in person.

We can only visit it quietly every now and then through Shi Deyi, Liu Weijian, Feng Jing and others.

Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu both raised their heads after hearing this.

What's the meaning?

Don’t the officials want to abolish silkworm salt?

Is there a need for reform?!

Then he saw the junior official in the palace extending his hand to the minister Feng Jing beside him: "Feng Jing, please go and get the official seal certificate issued by the Fujian Observer Envoy to judge Cai Gong in Quanzhou."

"In addition, please bring to me this month's official seal certificates for Su Shi and Chen Mu for the Ming Prefecture."

"promise!"

Feng Jing took the order and left.

The two prime ministers listened and looked at each other.

Real seal?

Cai Que, Su Shi, and Chen Mu received official seals?

Moreover, it talks about silkworm salt money?

What comments did they make?

The two prime ministers became curious.

The mentality is also relaxed at this time.

Because they discovered that the petty officials didn't seem to want to just throw away the silkworm and salt money with just an edict.

He seems to want to reform silkworm salt money!

this……

The two prime ministers immediately became energetic.

If we could find a way to reform the shortcomings of silkworm and salt money and restore its function of helping the poor without affecting the tax revenue of local governments.

That is really a great kindness!

But the question is - is this possible?

Since ancient times, you can’t have your cake and eat it too!

Thinking like this, the big Diao Dang beside the official came to the hall with three letters.

"Show the seals of Mr. Cai and others with the two prime ministers!" the junior official ordered.

Therefore, the three sealed certificates were sent to the two prime ministers.

Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu reached out to take it and began to circulate it.

Then, the two of them discovered that the actual seals of these three people did not mention anything about silkworm salt.

They were just reporting to the Emperor on what they were doing in their respective jurisdictions, and also reporting on the progress of the things they were doing in accordance with the Emperor's will.

And in their official complaint, they mentioned the same thing - Daao.

For example, Cai Que reported: Since Meng Guanjia Deyin gave me command and given the drawings of Da'ao, I have followed the decree to build Da'ao in Quanzhou to expand the number of ships. So far, more than a hundred ships have been built.

Then there's the size, size and price of these boats.

And Cai Que's method for dealing with these ships - according to the decree, the people who are willing to lend money will be interest-free for one year and the interest will be halved for two years.

So the people of Quanzhou shouted long live, thinking that "the Holy Emperor's merits are immeasurable" and so on.

Then came Chen Mu’s report.

Chen Mu also said that according to the decree, Meng Yin was given the great blueprints, so in accordance with the decree, he selected shipyard masters in Mingzhou who were skilled in ships, and each was given great arcane skills. He borrowed official money to implement them, and also gave them to him by imperial edict. Provide Mingzhou official ship building companies with the techniques and drawings they have stored over the years.

As a result, Mingzhou Shipyard flourished, and Mingzhou ships became more and more prosperous.

Su Shi, who was in Dengzhou, reported that since he followed Deyin and used Da'ao as a boat, more and more ships have arrived in Dengzhou, and more and more people have gone to sea. Now there are three thousand fishing boats and tens of thousands of employees, who are drying fish day and night. Only some Dried fish is not easy to sell, and fishermen may lose money.

Three ministers reported on the experience of using a so-called "Da'ao" in three places, as well as the different policies of the three places.

In Quanzhou, Cai Que presided over the application of Daao in the official shipbuilding workshop.

And popularized many technologies from the shipbuilding industry in Guangzhou, Mingzhou and other places.

What kind of watertight cabins, what kind of keel laying, sails, etc., just to name a few.

Then, Cai Que presided over the process of leasing the built ships to merchants and people who were willing to go to sea in the manner of Qin and Han officials.

Also offered preferential policies.

The first year is interest-free, the second year the interest is halved, and the full interest is charged in the third year.

Over in Mingzhou, under the leadership of Chen Mu, they began to support private and private shipyards.

And imparted a large number of government technologies to the owners of these shipyards.

At the same time, under the auspices of Chen Mu, the Mingzhou government seemed to have selected several well-known local shipbuilding owners, and the government provided them with high-quality, cheap, and low-interest loans to expand their operations and shipbuilding scale.

The government even issued a decree allowing the shipyards chosen by Chen Mu to enjoy tax-free treatment, allowing these people to expand their operations and increase the shipyard's output.

In Dengzhou, it is a different style of painting.

The fishing boats in Dengzhou seem to be mainly small and medium-sized fishing boats.

The ships produced were basically lent to landless people, allowing them to go fishing to repay their debts.

At the same time, Su Shi seems to have supported several gentry families in the local area, established large-scale fish drying grounds, and hired a large number of landless young people to dry fish.

So the people of Dengzhou went out to sea to fish one after another.

The two prime ministers frowned after reading it.

They don't quite know, what does this have to do with silkworm salt?

So Han Jiang put down the seal in his hand and looked up at the young official who was sitting on the mat again.

"His Majesty……"

"I am stupid and don't know what your Majesty means... I hope your Majesty will make it clear!"

Lu Gong also said: "I second the proposal, and I hope your Majesty will make it clear."

This petty official seems to have been famous for his clear thinking and out-of-the-box ideas since he came to the throne.

The two prime ministers felt that they really couldn't keep up with this His Majesty!

"Two gentlemen...do you still remember that I said before that I have read the documents and documents that have been discussed by silkworms and salts in the past dynasties?"

The two prime ministers nodded.

"Of course I know what the evil of silkworm salt is related to?"

The contradiction between the central government and the local government and the tax game.

The rise and fall of all dynasties revolved around these two main themes.

Even in modern times.

This kind of thing exists widely in both the East and the West.

Especially in the ugly country, there are many fights between the federal government and the states over the distribution of taxes.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, taxation was somewhat excessive.

There is too little left for local government, and the central government wants too much.

Partially born, even if Zhao Xu wanted to adjust, he would not be able to find a good entry point or opportunity for a while.

Because the impact is too great.

There are countless interested parties involved, and there are countless minefields buried in it.
