Zhu Houzhao saw that the emotions of the two brothers were aroused, and Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "Actually, this matter is difficult to say and difficult to say, and simple to say. Why do those salt merchants have the final say now? Isn't it because they hold the salt?

Yin, bribing the officials of the salt field, whoever they let carry the salt could carry it, and whoever they refused could not carry it."

"Once the two uncles or other nobles and relatives get involved, they will write a letter of impeachment. There are many civil servants behind these salt merchants who have taken advantage of them."

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling looked at each other, and then nodded together. This is the problem.

"Look at it this way, the salt field officials can decide who should be given salt and who should not be given salt, but what if they can't decide?" Zhu Houzhao continued to guide the two people.

However, the two people were still indifferent. Zhu Houzhao knew that his guidance was in vain. Forget it, it was better not to play with these two people. After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Isn't the salt merchant here to beg? Now is not the salt Yinji."

No salt? This is a big deal."

"Find someone to write a letter, find a civil servant, let him participate in the performance, request the imperial court to establish a Salt and Iron Department, specialize in salt and iron, and screen salt merchants at the same time. The reason is also very simple. There are good and bad salt merchants in the world. Many salt merchants are not only cheating, but also cheating.

Moreover, substandard goods are passed off as good ones to make huge profits. This kind of behavior must be controlled.”

"So I request the imperial court to set up the Salt and Iron Department to supervise and divide the salt fields all over the world. If the salt fields want to do the salt business, they must be approved by the Salt and Iron Department, otherwise they will not be prepared to engage in the salt and iron business."

"At that time, who can do the salt business and who cannot do it will be decided by the Salt and Iron Bureau. All merchants who do not have the approval of the Salt and Iron Bureau will not be allowed to lift salt from the salt field. Once anyone is found to have violated the order, he will be punished.

The officials of the salt field and the merchants who violated the order were all treated as smuggling salt."

After Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling heard Zhu Houzhao's words, they were stunned and opened their mouths. How could they do this?

"Remember, find an unrelated person to submit the memorial, and don't involve you. After the memorial, we will try our best to promote the establishment of the yamen. After the yamen is established, there will definitely be a need for someone to preside over it. This person definitely needs to be recommended. Remember

, the person recommended must be one of our people."

Looking at the two people's eyes, Zhu Houzhao knew what the two people were thinking. In fact, even a fool could see that the Salt and Iron Division had a very special position, with great power and many benefits. If these two people didn't

If you are tempted, then these two people are fools.

"You two can't do it!" Zhu Houzhao rejected these two people directly, so don't think about it.

"This position is not easy to get!" Ge Dan looked at the two people seriously and said: "If we want to get the salt business, we are robbing others from their mouths. Will those people not compete with us? Once this person favors us,

That's definitely a slander that's flying all over the place, and you don't necessarily know how to deal with him, you can't handle it."

The two brothers looked at each other, thinking of the situation Zhu Houzhao mentioned, and quickly shook their heads. They really couldn't bear it.

"First of all, this person must have a high position, and secondly, he must be able to bear the burden, so I choose among several Dukes of the Kingdom. Forget it, the British Duke. He is young and has no responsibility. I choose one of the two Dukes of the Kingdom of Cheng and Duke of Ding. Cheng Guo

The Duke is on guard in Nanjing, so only Duke Dingguo is left. Remember, your family cannot handle the business of the salt merchants, so we share it with them, which is also a good way to make friends with these distinguished people."

The current Duke of Ding, Xu Yongning, ascended the throne in the sixth year of Jingtai, and in the second year of Chenghua, he accidentally destroyed the bookmaking. Now he has no position and is living at home.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao chose him is very simple. Ding Guogong has a high position and is a fellow practitioner with the country. It is basically impossible to make him lie down. Secondly, Xu Yongning is not young. Although he is in good health, he should

With only a few years left to live, such a person is the most suitable person to withstand thunder. Anyway, people are old and thick-skinned. If they die in a few years, they can be replaced.

Neither Zhang Yanling nor Zhang Heling expected that Zhu Houzhao would choose the Duke of Guo, and they hesitated a little: "Can it be possible to select the Duke of Guo?"

"Why can't it be done?" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "What do you want him to do? It's just to sit in that seat, and then who can be a salt merchant and who can't be a salt merchant? It's up to us. If

If something can't be done, it doesn't matter, let someone else do it, and then the list will be sent to the palace."

Of course, this was the last resort. Letting the emperor go personally would have such a bad impact, but Zhu Houzhao felt that he couldn't go that far.

As long as Xu Yongning, the Duke of Dingguo, is recommended, my father will definitely let him do it, and it will be useless for the people below to object.

When the time comes, it will be Xu Yongning who will be the one to delineate the salt merchants. He will also bear the blame and the emperor will be the referee. Zhu Houzhao's positioning of the emperor is very clear. The emperor can only be the referee and must not be dismissed. Even if the emperor is a black whistle and a fake

Whistle, but you must not leave the field, otherwise things will be in trouble.

"When the imperial court decides to establish the Salt and Iron Department, you will wait at home and select suitable salt merchants to join."

"The salt merchants' schedule will be repeated after five years. This also allows you to control the salt merchants. If you don't obey, you will be replaced after five years." Zhu Houzhao first looked at Zhang Heling, and then at Zhang Yanling: "Do you understand?

If you pinch their weak points, they will have to obey. After I leave, you will start looking for your relatives and nobles."

"Forget it, stop looking. Once you look for it, this matter will no longer be hidden. Report it to them first, and then let them come to the door on their own after the matter breaks out."

"The 50% members have returned to the palace and have spoken out. You can't say it plainly, but you must let them understand what you mean. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling both nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, we know what to do."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Do this as soon as possible. Don't make any mistakes. When the money is divided, you can build a big house." Zhu Houzhao stood up and said, "I will

Let’s go first, remember to keep it secret and never let the news leak out.”

"Don't worry, Your Highness!" Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling clapped their chests and promised that the news would never be leaked.

After leaving the Shouning Hou Mansion, Zhu Houzhao had no intention of wandering outside and had people drive the carriage directly back to the palace.

After Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, he was handed over to Kunning Palace immediately. Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang were both there. After seeing Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youtang had a smile on his face, sipping tea and looking like he was watching the excitement.

Queen Zhang's face was straight, and she seemed to be asking for help.
