The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

A few days later, Tu Jingnian talked about the rectification of the salt administration. He directly used the chaos in the Jiangnan salt administration as an introduction, and said that the salt merchants colluded with each other, ran amok, and drove up the salt price. Regarding the problem of selling private salt by yourself, the people below only said that this is the way to attack the salt merchants, but Tu Jingnian directly said that merchants are naturally profit-seeking and greedy. You can't tell the common people to always be unable to buy cheap official salt and have to buy private salt. It's better to cut the bottom of the pot and directly cut off the minds of these salt merchants.

Tu Jingnian directly explained the salt policy statutes that he had created. It is nothing more than that there are no restrictions on the purchase qualifications. If you have money, you can buy salt tickets. In addition, the sale of salt tickets is limited, and the upper limit is not allowed.Salt tickets are printed in triplicate according to the amount of salt produced by saltworks in various places. If the ticket matches, the salt can be paid. In this way, when the salt ticket is sold, the salt tax will naturally be recovered.Moreover, in order to enhance their competitiveness, small salt merchants will definitely not deliberately drive up the price of salt. If the price of salt is low, no one will risk their heads to sell private salt. In this way, the salt industry will naturally stabilize up.

As soon as the matter of salt administration was mentioned, Tu Jingnian took advantage of the situation and said that he planned to change cooking salt to drying salt, but because he didn’t know the specific output, so it was tried in Tanggu, Tianjin, and the original stove households were converted into salt households. , specializes in managing salt fields and refining fine salt. Tu Jingnian is thinking about making salt an industrialized product in the future and developing a series of peripheral products. Naturally, these salt households are the earliest salt industry workers. Of course, these are things to come Well, Tu Jingnian was not engaged in daily chemical products back then, and he didn't remember how many similar industrial products there were, so he had to let people find out by themselves.

Tu Jingnian explained the matter. Although there are quite a few people in the court who have benefited from the salt administration, although money is important, life is more important. At this time, he touched Xindi's brow.What's more, even if this matter is brought up to the emperor, they still ignore it. Before the emperor was deceived by the Zhen family in terms of salt administration, he naturally didn't have a good word for those salt merchants. Now that the reform of the salt administration can be done once and for all, the emperor will definitely Also happy.

Tu Jingnian also got angry with Emperor Chengqing about this matter. Emperor Chengqing seems to have really let go of the government now, but in his spare time, he brought Amin by his side and taught him personally.Emperor Chengqing's life is quite leisurely now, and Tu Jingnian respects him very much. The young concubines around him are also very considerate and considerate. They usually follow the doctor's advice, pay attention to diet, and live a regular life. It's getting better, even so, I still don't dare to be too tired.Emperor Chengqing hated the life of being almost immobile for those few months, but he didn't want to let himself fall to that point again, so the maintenance became more meticulous.Emperor Chengqing doesn't have the so-called retirement syndrome now, Tu Jingnian will talk to Emperor Chengqing about anything, and ask him for his opinion, which makes Emperor Chengqing have a subtle sense of pride, see son, you did it Emperor, you are still tender, listen to me more!

For a while, the relationship between father and son was relatively harmonious, especially with the two little guys, Ayang and Aming, making lubricating oil, and no one had the courage to deliberately provoke the relationship between father and son. Gradually, Tu Jingnian's life became easier. .

These days, Tu Jingnian is still discussing the issue of the military system with Emperor Chengqing. Originally, when Emperor Chengqing was there, he had talked about this plan with the cabinet, but it was only a preliminary idea. There is no conflict with the large military region system, but it is very opposed to the military symbol system.

There is no way, the military talisman system strengthens the monarchy, which is not good news for the courtiers. Therefore, he has been arguing, and Emperor Chengqing did not have the courage of his youth, and later he had a stroke, so naturally this matter will not be mentioned If he didn't mention it, the cabinet naturally assumed that he didn't know about it, and kept silent.

But at this moment, after thinking about it, Emperor Chengqing sneered: "Those old people in the cabinet really want to see a generation of holy masters! What they want is an emperor who can let them dictate, preferably like the Song Dynasty The same as when I was in Beijing, I sincerely ruled the world with the literati, so that they can live comfortably and happily! Only by stepping on the emperor's face under their feet can they increase their reputation! If the military system is changed, in the future, the emperor will issue an order They can mobilize millions of troops, how can they be so arrogant? Don't look at them always looking down on military generals, that's because the right to send troops is in the hands of civil servants, without their approval, the emperor can't even think about sending troops casually, if someone Put a knife on their necks, how many of them can hold it!"

As he said that, a murderous look flashed in Emperor Chengqing's eyes: "Ah Li, now is the right time, you should also stand up well, otherwise, they will still think you are that good-tempered prince!" I still know this eldest son very well. Don't look at him in normal times, he is almost gentle and elegant, with a very good temper, but in fact, he is a very determined person. Once he has made up his mind, he will try his best to realize him!In the past, he was the crown prince, and he had to go through roundabout methods. Now, since he is already the emperor, he doesn't need to worry too much!

Every emperor in this dynasty brought about a bloody cleansing. Tu Jingnian was lucky. The real cleansing had already been completed during the time of Emperor Chengqing, which made Tu Jingnian popular among people. In my impression, there is still the prince who is mild-tempered and easy to talk to. Few people really realize that this prince has become an emperor who can kill him.

Therefore, at the court meeting the next day, when Tu Jingnian seemingly casually brought up the matter of military system reform when the emperor was in power, several cabinet ministers looked like cats whose tails had been burnt , One by one can't wait to jump up.

Immediately, the leading civil servants began to take the trouble to say nonsense about the ancestral system and the immutable laws of the ancestors.

Tu Jingnian never felt that the dragon chair was comfortable. He leaned on the back of the chair, and subconsciously tapped the armrest with his right index finger on the armrest. The texture of the golden nanmu dragon chair is very hard. Down, with a crisp sound.He looked at the ministers below with a half-smile, and suddenly said, "Is that so? But, the Taizu still has his ancestral precepts, and civil servants should not be lightly involved in the military!"

"This is not military affairs, this is a state matter that concerns the world!" Someone immediately responded very quickly.

Tu Jingyou snorted: "In my opinion, this is just military affairs. Before the generals in the court have spoken, you jumped up like this, making me think that the army of this dynasty is actually yours!"

The people below were speechless, not knowing what to say.

Tu Jingnian looked at the group of generals standing on the right, and said indifferently: "Your family may not know what is going on with the military system reform, so I will tell you first!" He hung up the map and told the address of the military region he was going to set up, but he didn't say anything. There might be more in the future. The military commander was actually very excited about this, even though Tu Jingnian said that the military region will implement a rotation system. This is the case with the soldiers in the barracks, but the transportation is inconvenient these days, and the rotation is mainly generals. When the transportation is convenient in the future, when the trains come out, the military service system can be implemented, and ordinary soldiers will have to join the army in other places , so as not to cause the military to collude with the local government and cause trouble.

But for military generals, their autonomy has increased a lot. Moreover, it is obvious that Tu Jingnian has set up more military regions than the current border towns, and the highest commander level of the military regions is also relatively high. Just a general soldier, but a third-rank. Now, the commander of the military region is the governor, a second-rank, and with a specific jurisdiction, the officer rotation system has also been decided. There is no shortage of channels.

Each military region has a special tiger talisman, half of which is in the hands of the governor, and half is placed with the emperor. After the tiger talisman is matched, the governor can officially send troops.If there is no other half of the tiger talisman, then dispatching more than a certain number of soldiers will be regarded as a rebellion!

Regarding this point, these military generals actually have nothing to say. Speaking of it, it was actually the same before. Without the official document of the Ministry of War, they also have no right to send troops!

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, most of the military generals agreed to this restructuring plan, and they did not have the intention of conspiring to rebel, so naturally they would not think so much. There is still a bit of war in the nine borders, and in addition, there will be some extra money in these border towns.These military generals are usually useless at all, with the name of some general, some have never seen an enemy in their life, many people have even abandoned their family martial arts, and many people have to change their lintels. They wanted to let their descendants study for the imperial examination, but in this regard, they really couldn't compete with the scholarly families who studied in those eras, and even if they entered the court, they would be rejected.Now it is better to be able to serve in the army for generations.There is a saying these days that the major events of the country, in the sacrificial and military, have military merits to protect themselves, and the road in the future will be much smoother.

Therefore, although those civil servants found various ways to object, but Tu Jingnian said directly: "My will has been decided!" The matter was thus settled.

As a result, those civil servants soon began to find allies, and the leader was the Xining County King.Wang Jinxuan of Xining County was going to die of anger. He had raised his soldiers and horses to become fat and strong all these years, not to make wedding dresses for others. Pingan Prefecture was assigned to the Shaanxi Military Region. Military region rotation system, God knows where I will be transferred!I have worked so hard to make less money all these years, and the strong army I have raised, is it cheaper for others!What's more, away from Ping'an Prefecture, where is there such a rich oil and water? Therefore, within a few days after the court meeting, the urgent memorial for the eight hundred miles of Xining Palace was delivered.

Tu Jingnian sneered, Xining Prince's Mansion is not honest, if it wasn't for the fact that the Zhen's family started the incident too quickly, and Ping'an Prefecture was far away, the Zhen family would still be worried that Xining's Palace would run over to pick the peaches with a large army relying on their strength and strength According to Jin Yiwei's news, the Zhen family once transferred part of their property to Ping'an Prefecture under the guise of giving a birthday present, and it should be swallowed up by Jin Xuan at this moment. up.

After learning the news, Tu Jingnian had the idea of ​​weakening the Xining Palace, but because of Jin Xuan's subordinates, it was not easy to do it directly. The weird Jingnian has made his move!
