Chapter 309 Afterglow (2)
Salt, can it turn into money?
The land of a county is exclusively handed over to the Li family, and it will take several years to hand over it. Wouldn’t that be the only way to give the Li family a mountain of gold?
Who can’t eat salt when you are alive? And they are from a county! And these people can only eat salt from the Li family!
Send it! Send it!
Selling salt can make a fortune, but it’s not just a fortune every day?
If the salt merchants come to do it, it will cost money, but the nobles come to do it, but they are faster than robbing money and have no capital to buy and sell it. Since Your Highness has given them the way to sell salt, it is no problem to build a few salt farms at will.
Li Jinglong sat there, his eyes full of stars.
In the past, I secretly sold some private salt and was so worried that I was so scared. Now I can buy salt at the order and make a lot of money!
That's what I think! Zhu Yunxi continued to say that Goryeo is now a territory of the Ming Dynasty, but for the sake of safety, whether it is salt or iron in Goryeo for the time being, they cannot produce these things that cannot be produced by themselves, so they can only buy them from the Central Plains!
People's livelihood is scarce, so there are many ways to make money. I plan to release some of them and use them as compensation for the nobles who returned the fields! I can't let the heroes suffer losses!
Li Jinglong came back to his senses and said tremblingly, Your Highness, you must be compensated. You are giving me a gold mountain that I can't afford to eat for generations!
Military merits have become weak after several generations of succession. The family business seems to be great, but the passing on for several generations has all dispersed. The move of the crown prince is equivalent to giving them more wealth and honor to several generations.
In fact, Zhu Yunyu had another idea in his mind. Goryeo's economy is now in the Ming Dynasty. Even if the court does not let go of these wealth, it will fall into the hands of officials and businessmen in the future. Instead of being cheaper than being cheaper to others, it is better to be cheaper to your own people.
Besides, if your own people are rich, it will be convenient to use them in the future.
If everyone is as transparent as you can think, there is no need to worry so much! Zhu Yunsheng smiled.
I understand, I will say these words to the old military marquis! Li Jinglong smiled and said, Your Highness, they must be grateful!
But! Zhu Yunxiu held his chin and frowned, how many years will this exclusive business be left for you, and it will be verified by the Ministry of Revenue! After all, Goryeo is also a territory of the Ming Dynasty. After a few years of stability, you cannot rely solely on buying things from the Central Plains. Besides, you also know that the fiefs of several uncles of Xiao Wang are there. In the future, they will have to spend money even if they are vassals!
Li Jinglong thought about his mind. His Highness is so kind that he gave all the benefits of the sky to me! As he said that, he suddenly lowered his voice. Whether it is a year or a few years, the little soil in Zhongdu is compared to salt. I have enough money in my family, and I have nothing to lack. Even if I make two gold coins, I will not be proud!
If there are difficulties in the court in the future, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha to show my filial piety!
You! Zhu Yunxi smiled and thought more than others!
I should think more about doing things for Your Highness! Li Jinglong said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxiu drank tea again, is that Qingxin Xiaozhu fun?
OK, you didn't.....Li Jinglong almost said he would reveal his mouth, so he changed his words quickly, just a quiet place to drink tea and listen to music.
Haha, you can be beaten like this after drinking tea. You are really wronged! Put down the tea bowl, Zhu Yunxiu smiled slightly, go back, you don’t have time to care about your idiots!

The next day, the Minister of Personnel Ling Han made a splash with a stone, and directly wrote to the Fengyang Imperial Village to compete for profit with the people.
There are usually no major military and national affairs in the dynasty, and the nobles and military officials just think it is a formality. But today, I suddenly saw the civil servants, and I don’t know what was wrong with the imperial family. They all came to their spirits, and they were even more eager for the emperor to get furious and cut off the heads of those nerds.
Unexpectedly, the emperor not only did not get angry, but instead praised Ling Han for his intention to be a country. The emperor said that in Fengyang, except for the fields of the tomb guardians and the fields of sacrifice, they were all filled with the government and prepared to grant them farming to the people.
The nobles were amazed. When did the emperor's temper become so good?
But then, Hanlin bachelor Fang Xiaoru directly burned the fire on their heads.
Fengyang Zhongdu, the place where the Ming Dynasty dragon rose. However, the people of Zhongdu have not received the blessings of the Ming Dynasty, but have suffered all the sufferings of nobles!
In Fengtian Hall, Fang Xiaoru's kneeling sounded loudly.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has been normal for the noble families of Fengyang to commit illegal activities. In the early years, some people instigated family slaves to plunder people, occupy land, and sell private salt to accumulate money. The land was not counted, and even caused human lives.
Even in the 18th year of Hongwu, after the criminals were dealt with by the national law, His Majesty personally issued an order that the Duke and the Majesty would not forcibly occupy the land of the people.
Although there have been a slight improvement in recent years, the people of Fengyang have also suffered from the wealthy family!
Now the imperial village has divided the country's fields into the people, and the court should take back the merit fields given to the country at the beginning. First, return the land to the people. Second, return the bright world of Fengyang!
At the beginning, the nobles and warriors had not understood it yet, and suddenly they saw Fang Xiaoru kneeling down and saying enthusiastically, and they saw the civil servants nodding and agreeing, all of which were literary words.
But at the end, they all burst into anger. They looked at Fang Xiaoru with the same eyes as if they were to eat people. If it weren't for the Golden Palace, they would have to take action on the spot.
Many people cursed in their hearts, "You eight generations of ancestors, Fang Xiaoru, are encouraging Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to take back the village in our hometown of Fengyang!"
It’s so good, how do you talk about this? Zhu Yunsheng sat next to the old man and said, Fengyang’s honor fields were exchanged for their lives by the founding nobles, and they were rewarded for their glory to their ancestors. How could they be easily taken back!
After hearing what the crown prince said, the nobles were much more at ease.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoru continued to kneel down and said, Your Highness's words are wrong!
Where is the one who says he is bad?
I know that Fengyang has a great relationship, but Fengyang is not only Fengyang, the founding military officials, but also Fengyang, the people of the Ming Dynasty! Fang Xiaoru was suddenly not afraid of the murderous eyes of the nobles, and spoke loudly, saying that military merits cannot be confused with people's livelihood. If the nobles were born in Fengyang, the people of Fengyang would have no land to plant, which is a big mistake!
The court has already given rewards to those military achievements, and they are a Duke and a marquis alive, and are matched with the Taimiao in their lives. The honor of the most powerful minister is enough to reward them! The people of Fengyang have lived in Fengyang for generations, and their ancestors' tombs are also in Fengyang, but they have no place to stand. Isn't that a laughing at the ages!
Enough! Zhu Yunxi shouted, and the more he spoke, the more he became less and less sensible!
The old man also said, "You're talking nonsense!" Their Zhuangzi's fields were all rewarded by us back then. They made no mistakes or reduced their titles. No matter how difficult the court is, they can't make any decisions about their fields and soil!"
Hearing that both of them helped them speak, the nobles and martial artists were very excited.
If Your Majesty puts Dukes and Marquis first and the people are the last, then put the cart before the horse! Fang Xiaoru continued.
The warriors cursed in their hearts, but the old man in the court was not sure, so they dared not speak. Besides, they were stupid and could not speak in their minds, so they could only yell at the Three Character Classic in their minds.
Dear Dukes and Majesties! But, Fang Xiaoru turned to them. The officials knew that you were having difficulties back then. He also knew that you had been in danger of death and had only received the land of the family. But Fengyang and the land were all in your hands, how could the people live!
Your hometown is in Fengyang, but the people of Fengyang are poking your backbone behind your back. In the entire Fengyang City, nearly half of the people are tenants in your home. The rent is a lot of money every year, and if there is a waste of money, you still have to borrow from your village.
In the late Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, this was the case in Huaixi. The fields were all in the hands of the great clans, and the people were selling their children and daughters to survive. Now they are all ministers of the country. Instead of putting the world first, they want to let the elders of their hometown suffer this hardship?
this.............
The warriors looked at each other, feeling their anger in their hearts, but they couldn't speak.
What does that land have to do with the people?
These poor literati are very knowledgeable when talking about these dirty water, one after another, grandma's!
Suddenly, someone among the nobles made a list of memorials, and the ministers have a memorial!
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it. Duke Cao Li Jinglong was able to speak and speak among the martial artists, and he would definitely make those poor literati beautiful.
Come on! Zhu Yunxiu said.
I am ashamed! Li Jinglong kowtowed, and after hearing what Master Fang said, I am ashamed!
Suddenly, the warriors and nobles looked at him in unison, and for a moment, Li Jinglong became the focus of the hall.
A few days ago, I went back to Zhongdu with Your Highness to worship the temple of the meritorious ministers. My grandfather’s portrait was hung in the temple, and his voice, appearance and smile were as if yesterday!
It was not easy for my father and grandfather to start a business. At that time, it was only in the Qianshou in Huaixi. He suffered all the difficulties in the world and suffered so much that he was extremely miserable!
Thanks to the Emperor's blessing, and thanks to the wise ruler, we have today's wealth and honor! The Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty in the world. We cannot let Fengyang suffer just because our grandfathers have made little contributions.
We must not shame the Ming Dynasty and make the king and father sad because of our own greed!
Only when those who plough the land can they become prosperous. My father and my ancestors fought to the death for the Ming Dynasty in the past. How could the descendants of the future generations make me solemn land and let the people suffer from poverty!
Your Majesty, His Highness, the Grand Prince, I am willing to present the fields of the Li family in Fengyang to the court and return them to the people to make the people happy!
Dongdong, after saying that, he bowed heavily.
The warriors and nobles looked at Li Jinglong's eyes and gritted their teeth.
Oh, your ancestors, are you Li Jinglong’s mother-in-law?
But Zhu Yunxiu, who was sitting on the imperial steps, was laughing in his heart.
Chapter completed!
