Chapter 184 The six ministries all advised the salt!
After discussing with the senior leaders of the Fengtian Association before, he decided to change his strategy and support Li Changfeng, who had the bloodline of the previous dynasty, to take the lead and inherit the Grand Principality, hoping that Dafeng would be restored without any effort.
In order to show sincerity, she even took the risk to help Li Changfeng fight Feng Shiye, and was secretly preparing to help Li Changfeng inherit the throne during this period.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
While worried, she was a little disappointed.
Why is Li Changfeng so unwise but he wants to provoke the eight major families?
Now that he has offended the eight major families, Emperor Gan Wu will definitely use him to give the Wang family an explanation, how can he get to power in the future?
Seeing that Li Changfeng was so useless, Master Feng thought their plan needed to be changed.
The next day.
Li Changfeng got up early, ate and drank with Bingbing and Xiaotong, and took a carriage to the palace.
Before Emperor Ganwu arrived, the Xuanzheng Hall was noisy, and the ministers gathered in groups of three or five, whispering the shortage of official salt, with most of their faces filled with worry.
When Li Changfeng stepped into Xuanzheng Hall, the hall was silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
Before Li Changfeng returned to Beijing, the entire capital was peaceful and plain, and nothing major happened at all.
Since Li Changfeng returned to Beijing, there have been continuous storms of all sizes, and almost all of these storms are related to him.
Li Changfeng is the one who stirs the wind and rain.
And the storm is indeed too great now. Many ministers think that Li Changfeng may not be able to overcome this disaster. After all, the official salt is related to the country's foundation, and it is not a joke.
Li Changfeng looked calm and smiled at everyone, saying hello, without saying anything, he yawned and habitually leaned against the pillar in the corner.
After being in the capital for so long, Li Changfeng still found it difficult to adapt to this anti-human morning dynasty time. He was thinking about when to talk to Emperor Gan Wu about this matter.
Seeing that he still had the heart to sleep, Li Ji sneered in his heart: "Pretending to be calm, I see when you can pretend to be!"
Li Chengye was full of surprise: "Is he not worried at all?"
Feng Quji showed a thoughtful look, always feeling that Li Changfeng seemed to be prepared.
Soon, Gao Dali's voice came from afar.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Long live my emperor!"
The ministers worshiped, and Li Changfeng could only shout weakly.
"All my beloveds are calm."
Emperor Gan Wu said calmly. When the ministers got up, he habitually searched for Li Changfeng's figure. Seeing him yawning against the pillar in the corner, he couldn't help but curse.
Bad boy!
My heart is really big!
The more Li Changfeng did this, the more he felt. After sitting firmly on the dragon throne, he slowly spoke: "All my dear friends, do you have something to report?"
Chen Dingyuan, the Minister of Revenue, immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the supply of salt from the big government is almost cut off due to insufficient production. People from all over the country have no salt to eat. This matter is to be resolved. If it is delayed, it may cause chaos! Moreover, the salt tax is also the national treasury. The big part of the income, if this continues, the treasury will be short of money again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hongtu, the Minister of Personnel, set out again and said: "Your Majesty, officials from all over the country have sent urgent reports. Almost all localities do not have enough salt. Now the public complaints are everywhere, and officials from all over the country are under great pressure!"
Yue Jianghe, Minister of War, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is not much salt left in all major military camps. They have issued urgent reports to ask for official salt. The morale of the military is also a little unstable. The matter of official salt cannot be delayed anymore!"
After Song Dexin was fucked by Emperor Wu, the newly appointed Minister of Justice Fang Hanxue also listed: "Your Majesty, because criminal cases of robbing official salt in various places occur frequently, the situation of public security problems is serious, and the official salt must be resolved quickly. This is not the case. way!"
The Minister of Rites listed: "Your Majesty, salt is the foundation of the country. Now that the ritual system is broken due to the lack of salt, the people will be rude and difficult to educate, so they must be solved quickly!"
When the Minister of Rites spoke, Emperor Gan Wu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Guan Yan actually involved the education of etiquette?
The Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Justice, and these four departments are reasonable to request this matter, but it is a bit far-fetched to speak.
It's simply outrageous.
However, what is even more outrageous is that Gu Tiancheng, the Minister of Works, also stood up: "Your Majesty, lack of official salt and craftsmen are unable to work, which is not conducive to the country and the country. This matter cannot be delayed!"
Hearing his words, even Li Changfeng, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and felt a little surprised.
Gu Tiancheng was right, but at this time he jumped out to talk to the craftsmen, which was a bit suspicious of putting pressure on Emperor Gan Wu.
In terms of importance, what the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice said is more important.
Emperor Gan Wu frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said calmly: "You all have any ideas."
Then, more ministers stood up.
"Your Majesty, the official salt cannot be delayed. How can ordinary people live without salt?"
"Official salt is cheap, but not as expensive as the small tribute salt sold by the ninth prince. This is something that everyone can afford, it is indispensable!"
"Yes, it's okay to do big things without small tribute salt, but it can't be without official salt. This is the fundamental thing that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood!"
"Your Majesty, let the Wang family quickly resume production of official salt. The people are waiting for the official salt to be put into the pot, so we can't delay it!"
...
Before he knew it, the topic began to belittle Xiao Gongyan, which involved the matter of resuming the Wang family's production of official salt. Li Changfeng couldn't help but feel a little energetic.
The real highlight is coming soon.
Emperor Gan Wu listened to the ministers' reports with a blank expression, and there was no change in his emotions on his face. After everyone finished speaking, he asked knowingly: "Where is Wang Jingzhi? Come out and speak."
Gao Dali bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the head of the Wang family said that he could not sleep at night and was in a state of ill and could not go to court early because he was worried about Yantian."
Emperor Gan Wu's expression finally changed, and he smiled coldly and said, "Are you in good health? What a coincidence!"
Everyone could not help but lower their heads and dared not say anything else.
In fact, everyone's heart is like a mirror.
How could there be problems with so many Yantian Yanjing at this critical moment?
Thinking of the fine salt sold by Li Changfeng and the recent major events in the capital, the whole story is almost obvious, and the Wang family and Emperor Gan Wu are doing it against each other.
Some of the ministers who just spoke were indeed considering the people of great power, the country and the people, and some were completely instructed by the Wang family and other aristocratic families, and were adding fuel to the fire to Emperor Gan Wu.
Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Gan Wu asked again: "The Wang family cannot produce enough official salt. What do you think you should do?"
