The vendors outside the window kept shouting, and the noise of children crying and making noise also reached the upper floors, and a few birds stood on the eaves, looking at humans, and were very coveted by the delicious food on the table.

"Man dies for money, birds die for food!"

Li Jia sat upright and looked at this person, and couldn't help but laugh: "The salt patrol yamen has only been established for a few days. The so-called relationship is probably just those clerks. However, each of the four hundred kilograms of salt was almost made by Mr. Deng himself. I'm afraid that I'm not looking for the wrong person. Why am I so easy to cheat?"

"This..." The man was surprised, then became frightened and calmed down, "I never thought that the husband was very knowledgeable. I admire him. I will talk about the important things at home today. I will definitely invite you to drink next time."

As he said that, he drank a glass of wine, brought two more pastries, bowed and thought of leaving like this.

However, the group of guards had already stopped the way.

"Sit down!"

Li Jia waved the fan and felt that she was getting cooler. She looked at the liar with a smile and couldn't help but say, "Is it so easy to cheat?"

"The noble man looks handsome and wears silk and satin, and is very wealthy, so I want to try my luck."

The man quickly complimented: "It's really because my wife and children are hungry and cold at home, so I have to do it!"

"From your tone, I'm a person who has been studying for a few years. It's good to do something serious. I'll spare you this time."

Li Jia waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you another news. In October of the seventh year of Shenwu, there will be a senatorial examination. Local governments will take the exam for scholars and juren, prepare in advance!"

"Thank you, thank you--"

Upon hearing this news, the man was overjoyed and quickly bowed and bowed sincerely.

He consciously naturalized another talent for society. Li Jia felt quite accomplished. He shook the sun and swayed, leaving the restaurant and returning to his temporary palace.

However, he was quite dissatisfied. How could he be regarded as the stupid son of the landlord?

Alas, I'm still too handsome, it's hard to be low-key.

The implementation of the salt induction system cannot be underestimated.

According to the new salt induction system, merchants must purchase salt induction and sell salt everywhere. Each 400 kilograms of salt not only includes costs, but also includes taxes.

In this way, salt flows everywhere, saving a lot of energy from the imperial yamen, and it also takes a lot of effort to operate. If one more process is added, the salt will be profitable. If the officials take one more mouthful, the salt price will naturally be fed back to ordinary people.

Li Jia understood that since ancient times, reforms in feudal society have simplified the cumbersome procedures, and it is best to be a one-stop fool.

For example, taxation, from land tax, household tax, tax, miscellaneous tax, etc., all became two taxes. When it comes to Li Jia, the tax collection rights were handed over to the Transportation Office, which simplified the procedures and reduced the benefits of both the middlemen and the government and the people.

In the Ming Dynasty, all miscellaneous taxes such as money, grain, etc. were classified as silver and taxes.

…………

This is the salt induction system. The court is only responsible for collecting salt from the salt households and then selling it at a low price. The intermediate process is ignored, saving multiple exploitation.

For each salt intake, the price sold is 400 kilograms, which is 4,000 kilograms. In other words, it is four jin.

The current market price is about twenty cents per kilogram of salt in the south, while in the north it is about thirty cents. Even if the shipping fee is sent, the profits from the salt merchants are still very considerable.

Naturally, salt merchants gathered together, making the newly established salt patrol yamen particularly lively.

However, the Salt Warehouse was originally a county government office, which was relatively narrow and even a little crowded for a while, with hundreds of them.

Many people can't see each other, their eyes are provocative, and their noises are endless.

After all, the output of salt is limited. If you eat one more bite, he will have one less bite. This is the competitor, who can’t be in a hurry?

Just as everyone was quarreling, Deng Bin and Deng Gong, appeared in a mighty manner with a group of yamen runners, and the scene was quiet.

"I've seen the Yan Yan Censor--" Everyone bowed one after another, looking particularly harmonious.

"Get up!"

Deng Bin is in his forties and has a rosy complexion. He has been a high-ranking official for many years. He has fair skin, plump body and full momentum. As soon as he sat down, everyone dared to sit down easily and look at him carefully.

For the salt merchants, this is the biggest official they have ever seen. The dignified prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, how dare they do anything to do anything.

For Deng Bin, he was the prime minister and the leader of all officials. He had a common exchange with either great scholars or senior executives. It was the first time he had been managing these salt merchants suddenly.

However, his years of experience as an official, coupled with the power of officials to merchants, made him calm and even his words and deeds have great power.

"This yamen was newly established because Your Majesty saw the chaos in the salt administration and was unusable, so he specially appointed someone as the salt inspector. As the name suggests, all matters involving the salt industry will be accepted by this official."

Deng Bin spoke loudly, and the salt merchants were ashamed of banishing themselves and dared not speak.

Seeing these people obeying so much, Deng Bin then calmly breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and said calmly: "Everyone already knows that all salt sellers need salt quotations, and it is not limited to the region. Without salt quotations, they will be treated as private salt quotations."

"As for salt intake, it is sold to various places with 4,000 qian, and after selling it to various places, the price per kilogram of salt must be less than 20 qian. If the higher ones, it is also considered as selling private salt."

After saying this, everyone was upset.

Unexpectedly, there were restrictions on salt trading, which made them restricted. Twenty dollars were just doubled, and the profits were greatly reduced, which made many people feel particularly regretful and failed to achieve their goals.

Deng Bin looked at the merchants' joys, anger, sorrows and happiness, and his expression remained unchanged and continued: "Since Laizhou Bay Salt Field produces only 200,000 shi of sea salt per year, this time, there are only 50,000 citations of salt this time, one citation is the lowest, and one citation is the highest."

"My husband, I don't know how to get this salt induced? But those with the highest price get it?" asked a eager person quickly.

"As long as you pay ten cents of money, you can participate in the lottery, and it will be determined according to the lottery."

Deng Bin shook his head and read out the rules that the emperor said: "As long as you pay the money, you will be qualified to draw lots. The number of citations obtained is marked on the lottery. The minimum is not enough for one citation, the highest is a thousand citations, open and fair, and the only one is unrestrained."

When those poor salt merchants heard this, they were overjoyed, while those rich merchants frowned. The highest was only a thousand cilantro, which was only four thousand cilantros. How could this achieve their monopoly on the local salt industry?

In addition, the price limit of up to twenty yuan per catty makes them quite unhappy.
