Chapter 280 "The Great Edict" is too thin!
Jie Min frowned and said with a puzzled look on his face: "The local government has done so many things, are you really willing to accept this status quo?"
He always felt a little unreal.
The concession made by the local government was so great that it even surprised him.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Xia Zhibai's mouth, and he said: "Of course I am not willing to accept it, but people do not suffer from scarcity but from inequality. If other people suffer the same loss, then it may not be unacceptable. , not to mention that this was not what they expected, it was entirely a man-made disaster caused by some people seeking their own interests.”
"They just want to settle the matter as soon as possible."
"Because I not only asked the 'supervisory censor' to record the records, but also ingeniously 'opened the second sea', and even proposed to actively open the sea and export salt-making technology , even doing transactions with overseas countries, everything I said fell on their hearts and made them feel palpitated."
"Compared with the interests of salt, maintaining the old status quo. The benefits gained are obviously more."
"They can still handle it clearly."
"They don't dare to let me continue to go crazy."
"Furthermore, Duke Xin Guo and Jin Yiwei are still on the side. Who knows whether Duke Xin Guo and Jin Yiwei will really take what I said seriously and go to investigate privately. If they don't find anything, it's okay. If they do, then what's wrong with them?" As far as the place is concerned, the sky is falling."
"Because it's not just about money."
"It's also about life!"
Xie Min nodded. Lu suddenly looked surprised.
The Zaohu riots were deliberately caused by the local government in order to tarnish the reputation of the salt factory and put pressure on the court. However, during the implementation process, human deviations occurred, and in the end things evolved step by step to where they are today. And Xia Zhibai's move south was even more unexpected.
In addition, Xia Zhibai did not act according to common sense, and the local government was stretched thin to cope with it.
Now that I am worried that the matter will escalate further, and that Tang He and Jin Yiwei will find out other things, I no longer dare to have such a high profile. I just want to settle the matter, as long as I can send the person away, even if he is in Yanshi It is not a bad idea to spit out the benefits you have eaten.
At least the others are preserved.
Soon.
Desensitization pupils shrink.
He looked at Xia Zhibai suddenly, and said tremblingly: "You are the ones who have been forgotten!"
Jie Min's tone was very sure.
Nanfang is now frightened by Xia Zhibai, and just wants to send him away as soon as possible. However, a bigger flaw is exposed, because the salt market is undoubtedly huge profits, but under such huge profits, the local Still willing to spit it out, isn't this clearly telling His Majesty that what they do in private is far more profitable than making salt.
And there are many more.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have spit it out so neatly.
It's just that the local officials were completely shaken by Xia Zhibai's series of deceptions, pressures, and various calculations, so much so that they panicked and only focused on keeping things quiet, but forgot to cover their own butts.
Xia Zhibai looked at Jie Min with some surprise.
He did not expect that Hua Lun and others did not understand, but Jie Min did.
Xia Zhibai said with a smile: "This is just a speculation. You will know tomorrow whether it succeeds or not."
"This is not a deception on my part."
"It's because they have a guilty conscience and can't bear any pressure."
"With the slightest stimulation, they become confused and use all kinds of stupid and sinister tricks."
Jie Min said with a bitter smile: "That being said, , but without so much pressure from you, how could they panic all of a sudden? On this trip, you already had Duke Xin and Jin Yiwei by your side, so why did you go to deliver some records and organize some kind of conference? There are so many people to deal with and they are so unpredictable.”
“You have figured them out.”
Xie Min shook his head.
A sudden feeling of powerlessness arose in my heart.
To be fair, if I were to swap positions with southern officials, I would probably be shocked, right?
It’s not that he is incompetent.
But Xia Zhibai is too weird.
Although many people have said it out early, this kind of pressure is the greatest, because everything is on the surface. As long as you commit fraud, once you are found out and Xia Zhibai takes the lead, you will be a Big problem.
Xia Zhibai, who is a partial student, likes to go online the most.
How can people not worry about this?
Xia Zhibai, on the other hand, is better. While openly applying pressure, he secretly tests the opponent's bottom line. He also makes various overt and covert tricks to disturb people's minds. After this series of actions, his will is slightly unsteady. I'm afraid that Xia Zhibai will make them collapse, and they want to send Xia Zhibai away.
Just this one time, the plot was clearly figured out.
Xia Zhibai is so good at playing with people's hearts.
Even.
He is also 'cheating' His Majesty.
Because the so-called salt policy is light on profits and heavy on other places, it may not be the result of Xia Zhibai’s frightening. It may not be the main reason at all, but with your majesty’s ambition, I am afraid that Xia Zhibai will not be taken into account at all. Don't worry about Zhibai's small actions, he will only recognize the 'viewpoint' presented by Xia Zhibai.
Thus intensifying the targeting of the South.
Is all this part of Xia Zhibai’s plan?
In a moment of thought.
He was even a little surprised. Could it be that Xia Zhi was responsible for the chaos in the southern households?
But then I thought about it and shook my head again.
Xia Zhibai has never been to the south and does not know the people in the south. He can only send his followers as beggars to collect information. If he is really capable, why would he go to such trouble? It's probably just that I'm over-concerned.
Jie Min shook his head and cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. Ding Zhifang on the side was dumbfounded and stood dumbfounded. This was the first time he heard that there were so many twists and turns in the matter in the south, and Xia Zhibai seemed to have sorted it out a long time ago. He saw through it, so he specially set up a trap and waited for the southern officials to jump.
Now the South is really jumping.
Ding Zhifang felt a chill when he thought of everything he had done in the south.
I always feel a chill behind my back.
Ding Zhifang shrank his neck, brought his clothes a little closer, and then said: "What about the official and business meeting tomorrow? There won't be too many disturbances?"
Xia Zhibai smiled and said: "There will be, but not many."
"Lü Cang's return basically foreshadowed that all their early thoughts were in vain. Officials from the Salt Transportation Department followed Huo The group of people who benefit are not necessarily the same group. At least for now, they are not in the same place, so they will not risk their own futures and lives for others."
"In this case. After giving it a try, they basically gave up.”
“There’s no point in struggling.”
“They don’t know how much information I’ve heard, and they don’t dare to bet if they make a mistake. , that means they don’t understand the situation in the salt factory below. Now they only have one tax collector, the Salt Transportation Department, which also means they don’t even understand how to collect taxes.”
"This little money is the country's money."
"They don't dare to let themselves take such risks."
Hua Lun frowned and said: "But haven't they already been sent before? Has the account book been completed? Can it still be overturned?"
Xia Zhibai said: "What's the difficulty?"
"Those salt factories closed down and then merged with other salt factories. Put it together.”
“They are only responsible for collecting taxes and don’t know about other situations.”
“As long as you want to fool me, it’s not easy to find an excuse?”
“But there is no need to hold on to this matter. It doesn't mean much, it's just that the two sides looked ugly. We are not here to make any grudges, we are just here to solve the problem of the kitchen households in the south." Xia Zhibai took the initiative to remind us.
Hearing Xia Zhibai's words, Hua Lun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Xia Zhibai has the nerve to say this?
Didn't he instigate this?
They have no intention of holding on to it.
Hua Lun said: "If you put it this way, the matter is quite simple. It's just some simple wrangling, and the matter will be solved after a while."
"Huh." Lian Zining He took a long breath, showed a look of relaxation, and said: "I was really worried in front of you, but you just kept insisting on it. If you really don't care and insist on it to the end, I really don't know how it will end."
“Alas.”
"You are really capable of causing trouble."
"Once anything is in your hands, small things become big."
Jie Min and Ding Zhifang deeply agree.
Xia Zhibai laughed and said: "This may not be a way to solve the problem. If it is difficult to solve the problem, then expand the matter. Wait until these people are really afraid, and then look back. These people are willing to sit down and talk about things that have to be solved before.”
“This is a kind of wisdom!”
Hua Lun said: "I don't have the guts to use your wisdom. If you don't use it well, it will be fatal." I really want to reveal something big."
Hua Lun still knows how to deal with it.
This method of solving problems is not suitable for him.
He doesn’t have the guts either.
Xia Zhibai stood up and said: "I have almost explained the matter to you. In the next few days, it is time to wrap up the affairs in the south. The affairs in the south are just appetizers this time. After these people feel a little more at ease, it is time to start serving the main meal. "
"Something must be done after all."
"The source of Ming's tax revenue must be investigated and captured by the court."
< br>"Otherwise."
"The imperial court is controlled by the local area, and even depends on the local state's face. So where is the majesty of the imperial court? How can it convince people? How can it correctly lead the world?"
Hua Lun and others nodded.
They came to Yuhang and did a lot of work.
Now that I have a general understanding of the situation in the south, and with Xia Zhibai's temporary help, I already know how to solve the problem of Zaohu. As long as there are no more troubles in the local area, there will be no problem. Too many twists and turns.
Especially with Xia Zhibai's guarantee, they felt more at ease.
A few people chatted briefly and then dispersed.
Xia Zhibai didn't stay here too long. Seeing that everyone else had left, he also walked towards his residence. When he returned to his residence, Lu Cang had been waiting aside for a long time, but unlike in the main hall, Lu Cang had another hand in his hand. One more book.
There are only two words in the book.
"Da Gao"!
Xia Zhibai reached out and took the "Da Gao", looked at it briefly, let out a long sigh, and then took the "Da Gao" back to his resting place, returning it while walking. Said softly: "The "Da Gao" written by Emperor Hongwu is getting thicker and thicker, but the "Da Gao" in the hands of the people is getting thinner and thinner."
