Life Winner Training Guide

Although the death of the late prince was a big storm, as time went by, it gradually passed. The world will not stop turning because of someone. Death is so cruel and does not show any kindness.

Sun Yifang worked hard as the prince for more than a year. Sun Heyan, who led the army out, finally returned. At this moment, all the silk roads have been opened up, and the foreigners or barbaric tribes along the way have been cleaned up. Some dangerous roads have been burned with local materials. The road has been built. Compared with the past, today's Silk Road has attracted countless businessmen, and one can imagine the prosperous scene in the future.

The several large-scale commercial routes built in China two years ago have greatly promoted the circulation of materials from east to west, from north to south, and it seems that the whole country has become very different inadvertently.

In the barren and bitter cold land in the north, the newly promoted and prolific grains were planted more. When the Yellow River flooded, the corn that had been promoted and planted on a large scale saved countless people. It was not like in the past. The money and grain drawn out are extremely limited.

The expansion of commercial routes has reduced the transportation cost of many goods, and the prices of many things have become cheaper, so the daily necessities of the people have become more abundant. Some places may not be able to eat seafood for a lifetime, but now they can eat it in those distant places. Precious food that came over.

Although it seems that the income of the people has not increased, in fact everyone can feel that life is getting better day by day.Some knowledgeable old people said that this is why they would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world. The prosperous age is coming.

Emperor Sun Ren also felt it.

The profit of the trade route is astonishing. It not only recovered the cost within two years, but also provided an astonishing amount of road tax. Those big businessmen who invested back then not only gained fame, but also had the qualification of life-long road tax exemption. These people were all overjoyed , has always boasted that he has a unique vision, loves the country and the people, and so on.

The national commercial tax surpassed the salt tax for the first time, and became the second largest source of finance for the entire Dayin. According to the Minister of the Household Department, it is afraid that it may exceed the agricultural tax in the future.

Ordinary people can only vaguely feel these changes, and it is hard to explain.The high-ranking officials of the imperial court were startled when they saw these piles of data, and their views on Sun Yifang suddenly changed in their hearts. After all, these changes seemed to be related to the new prince.

Nowadays, people believe in the destiny more, and they can't help but feel that the death of the former prince is so bizarre, maybe it's because fate can't stand such a great honor, and make way for the real one.

Sun Heyan didn't know much about the news outside, and when he came back, he found that his younger brother had really become the prince, and he didn't know what kind of feeling he felt for a while.But for him, it is better for Sun Yifang to be emperor than other brothers. Because he likes men naturally, he probably has no offspring in this life, so naturally he has no ambition to fight for it. The objection before was just that Sun Yifang would kill himself with an egg, but now this How could it be possible to object to such a good situation.

Just as Sun Yifang's position in the court became more and more stable and his evaluation in the hearts of officials at all levels became higher and higher, You Hongyin gave further advice.

"I am afraid that the salt administration will improve now." You Hongyin finally reached out to the salt administration: "Salt is a necessity that everyone cannot live without, and I am afraid that I will know the profit of it without mentioning it."

Now that Sun Yifang has experienced in the court for a long time, he naturally understands: "Sir, no matter how good the start of the Yan government is, it will inevitably become corrupted by huge interests after a long time, isn't it?"

"good."

Sun Yifang said: "This is something that everyone understands, but the salt policy is also a link that the country cannot avoid. Do you have a clever plan?"

You Hongyin handed over the plan that he had written before to Sun Yifang: "Your Majesty has already written what I want to say here. Your Highness, why not read it carefully in the next few days. I have never been an official, and some ideas may appear Of course, Your Highness is welcome to come and discuss with me."

You Hongyin described in detail how to produce salt at low cost in the plan.Most of the salt production methods used today are to boil the brine to produce salt, which is very expensive and the output is low, which is why the price of salt is high in the first place.You Hongyin gave the conventional salt production method of drying salt. This method is a backward production method in modern times, but in today's era, it is the most scientific, convenient and low-cost salt production method.At the same time, he also marked which places along the coast are suitable for salt farms. After the establishment of these nearly ten salt farms, they are fully capable of supplying salt to the whole country. The price of the shipping cost will also save a big chunk.You Hongyin's opinion is to directly abolish the Salt Administration and cut down the original organization. The officials of the Salt Administration are also expensive and food-consuming. The number of people is a bit too large. When selling salt to the outside world, the price will be uniformed across the country, so that the common people will not eat high-priced salt, and the fiscal revenue of the Ministry of Households will not be reduced too much.

Sun Yifang returned to the East Palace and spent the night looking at this document. He always attached importance to Mr. Wang Ke's opinion, but he hesitated when faced with this proposal.

This salt production method is amazing, and it has indeed greatly improved the output, but the same salt production method is too common, without any technical content at all, and it is too easy to leak.

It is not easy for Sun Yifang to discuss this kind of matter with his staff. His staff are familiar with government affairs and court struggles. They always think on the side of the bureaucracy when it comes to such important matters related to people's livelihood, and it is difficult to consider the interests of the people. , Although they all say that water can carry a boat and overturn it, and that the country is the most important thing, the people are second, and the king is the least, but in fact, few people really worry about the country and the people.This is also the reason why Sun Yifang likes to communicate with Mr. Wangke and respects him very much. Not every scholar can bear the word "Guoshi Wushuang".

After debating for a few days, Sun Yifang still couldn't make up her mind.He heard what Mr. Wang Ke said, and it seemed that he was not sure whether the plan was feasible. It was the first time he heard Mr. Wang Ke say that he was not sure.

In the end, Sun Yifang decided to discuss this matter with someone.

In addition to the two prime ministers on the left and right, Zhongshu Province also has a few Pingzhang political affairs. In fact, they are the prime minister's reserves. They are relatively young, capable, and have the potential to be important ministers of the prime minister. Enough to assist the emperor and the prime minister in handling national affairs.

Among these Pingzhang political affairs, one is relatively young, but he is very intelligent and capable. He was born in the Wang family of Langya, named Wang Zaochuan, and Sun Yifang has been very close friends with him since before he became the prince.Yes, this Wang Zaochuan is only in his early thirties this year, only a few years older than Sun Yifang, and used to be Sun Yifang's playmate when he was young. It is also because of this reason that since Sun Yifang was canonized as the crown prince, this person is also the first to show kindness.

Sun Yifang understood Wang Zaochuan's thoughts. He was too young, and he might have to wait more than ten years to become prime minister. Everyone said that he had no hair on his mouth and could not do things well. Even if Wang Zaochuan was outstanding, he could not win other people. The trust of others allowed him to ascend to a high position at a young age.However, with the trust and approval of the crown prince, maybe this time will be greatly shortened. This is the most important reason why Wang Zaochuan is standing with Sun Yifang.

Sun Yifang decided to take this plan to discuss with Wang Zaochuan. Compared with him, a prince who became a monk halfway, and Mr. Wang Ke, who had never been an official, Wang Zaochuan's views on this matter were much more realistic.

"Come here," Sun Yifang said, "send me an invitation to Lord Wang Zaochuan, and invite him to have tea in the afternoon."

In the Zhengde Side Hall of the East Palace, the maids in and out of the palace arranged dishes in an orderly manner, and there were already a lot of refreshments on the banquet table. Not long after finishing the arrangement, an attendant brought Wang Zaochuan in from outside.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

Sun Yifang said with a smile: "Why does Zixiang need to be so polite, I trouble you to go to the East Palace once on your holiday. I have some questions and I want to ask for advice."

Wang Zaochuan was curious: "Your Highness has never acted like this in the past, but what happened?"

Sun Yifang waved away the maids and maids in the room, and said, "I have something that I hope Zixiang can give me some advice."

After speaking, he handed the proposal to Wang Zaochuan.

After Wang Zaochuan read it, he was still frowning at the few words without literary talent at the beginning, and wondered why this person's handwriting was not bad, but his writing style was so bad, but soon, he ignored the bad writing, and It's all about the content.

Sun Yifang was not in a hurry, she poured a cup of tea by herself, picked it up and tasted it slowly, and even ate a snack, feeling a bit sweet and greasy, so she changed direction and reached for a pot of salty snacks.

After about half an hour, Wang Zaochuan, who was thinking while reading, came back to his senses. He took tea to quench his thirst, brewed it for a while, and said, "Your Highness, did you recruit a counselor a few years ago?"

Sun Yifang neither admitted nor denied it.

"Actually, I'm afraid it's not just my guess. The adults in the court, and even His Majesty the Emperor, probably have noticed it." Wang Zaochuan said calmly.

"Who doesn't have a helper under his command? It's true. A gentleman took refuge in me a few years ago." Sun Yifang knew that Mr. Wang Ke's matter might not be kept secret for long, but Mr. Wang Ke is not shady. Yes, as long as no one comes to poach his corner.

"Presumably, all the actions of His Royal Highness over the years are related to this person?" Wang Zaochuan said.

"Yes, Mr. Wang Ke is brilliant and unparalleled in the country. He has given me many suggestions."

Wang Zaochuan said with some regret: "Then why doesn't His Highness recommend this person, such a great talent is beneficial to the country, and it would be too wasteful to simply be an aide."

Sun Yifang was silent, Wang Zaochuan knew from this expression that the prince didn't want to release him to be an official, but just wanted to hold him in his hands.

Wang Zaochuan paused, stopped the topic knowingly, and refocused on the plan: "In fact, this policy is very good. The only problem is that it may cause great turmoil in the salt administration system. This part The number of officials is not small."

"Complicated institutions and too many people are the beginning of decline, and turbulence is also the inevitable price of sweeping away cancer." Sun Yifang said.

Wang Zaochuan finally said hesitantly: "Although this plan is good, His Majesty may not agree to it. If the prince wants to do practical things, it may be difficult." The implication is that this matter should wait until you become the top leader before thinking about these issues .

Sun Yifang smiled: "I understand. Mr. Wang means that there is no problem with this plan itself, but it is more difficult to implement. It doesn't matter, there are always things in the world that need to be done by people. I am a prince, and I will not escape from myself. Responsibility."

Wang Zaochuan admired him and felt that he was on the right team. When he left, he talked with Sun Yifang about other political affairs, and was sent out of the palace by Sun Yifang.

But Sun Yifang turned around and left the palace, went to Shenyou Garden, knowing that Mr. Wang Ke was greedy, and brought a lot of delicacies from the palace.

You Hongyin just woke up from a nap, and was a little tired after drinking tea and watching the scenery with a group of literati who came to Shenyou Garden in the morning, so the nap took a little longer. When Sun Yifang came, he had just woken up and finished washing.

"I missed the meal during this afternoon nap, but His Highness is considerate and sent food, which relieved my urgent need." You Hongyin brought people to the Luoshen Water Pavilion surrounded by water, where the environment is elegant and the temperature is suitable, and the flowers planted by the lake They are all in full bloom, and now is the season when the dark fragrance strikes, which is very suitable for afternoon tea and chat.

When the two sat down, You Hongyin focused most of his attention on the delicious food, but Sun Yifang said, "Sir, do you want to become an official?"

You Hongyin stopped his chopsticks and said, "If you say you don't have a sense of entitlement, you'd be lying, but this is not the time for me to show up."

Sun Yifang understood You Hongyin's hint, and knew that even if he became an official, he would be on the throne after him. Apart from being happy and relieved, Sun Yifang felt a little guilty, but then he said: "Mr. Tomorrow, I plan to start to reverend my father and try to reform the salt administration, is there anything you need to pay attention to?"

You Hongyin never thought that Sun Yifang would make a decision so quickly, he was taken aback for a moment and then said: "Your Highness, you need to list all the examples of the failure and corruption of the salt administration in the past. When the court argues, the most important thing is probably the two On the other hand, those who oppose it will generally start with the salt tax and foreign sanctions, and I have already written down the advantages, disadvantages and alternatives, Your Highness just needs to sort out your own thinking."

"Yes, I know."

You Hongyin thought for a while, and finally said: "If His Majesty disagrees, His Majesty will probably have to argue with reason. Even if His Majesty is angry, he can't back down. Just don't irritate His Majesty completely, so as to avoid causing disasters. I'm afraid the scale is right. Your Highness needs to control it carefully."

Although I don't know why, Sun Yifang agreed.

When Sun Yifang returned to the palace full of fighting spirit, Liu Mengzhi, who had been watching from the sidelines, ran out: "I don't understand this game."

You Hongyin said, "What don't you understand?"

"Sun Yifang is the crown prince now, is it necessary to fight to the death with the emperor for the Yanzheng?" There is something wrong with the Yanzheng, but it seems that it is more dangerous to compete with the emperor, and the benefits are too low.

You Hongyin sneered: "Do you think it's really the salt administration that is fighting here?"

Liu Mengzhi humbly asked for advice.

"Except for the officials, most of the interests of the salt administration are actually salt merchants, and more than [-]% of the private salt merchants are in the Jiangnan area. Instigating the salt administration will inevitably lead to instability in the south of the Yangtze River. Sun Ren is getting older. In the past few years, his energy has been worsening day by day. If the original prince had ambitions before his death, but now he is being attacked by many parties, and the family is obstructing him, his ambition has long since faded away, leaving only a stable mentality, so he I will not disturb the salt administration, and I dare not disturb the salt administration." You Hongyin said.

"If that's the case, then you still let Sun Yifang hit the gun?" Liu Mengzhi swallowed and said.

"This is different," You Hongyin said, "This kind of struggle is actually something I want to tell the family."

"what's up?"

"The once invulnerable tiger is already old." You Hongyin said: "Too old to choose the most correct way, only the safest way."

Even though Liu Mengzhi lost his body, he still felt cold sweat: "You want to fight against the emperor?"

You Hongyin said with a smile: "Of course not, the prestige of the founding king cannot be destroyed so easily."

"Then what's the reason for you to do this? The family is not a fool, and will not be used as a weapon for you."

"I, I just want to tell our Majesty that there are many internal and external problems, and the state affairs and family affairs are not going well, so don't live such a nourishing and leisurely life." You Hongyin sighed: "You can live a long life if you are comfortable and comfortable. You have to reach bliss early. So you, forget the misfortunes of the past as long as you can, and live a better life when you live comfortably."

What he wanted was Sun Ren's hard work, and the founding king couldn't use any other means except to make him die early from exhaustion.
