Chapter 467

The three of them had no objection to Li Qing's arrangement. Instead of forcing the new salt administration to force themselves when the court was completely incapable of governing, it would be better to do his best to do it in one battle and first understand the part within the pass, and then think about other places.

Another advantage of doing this is that it allows all the arrogant salt officials to be in danger, so as to achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting. This is similar to fighting.

Although once the policies within the pass fail, not to mention being implemented throughout the Tang Dynasty, once they are successful, the consequences of the unscrupulous salt officials in the pass must be to scare the salt officials in the entire Tang Dynasty. This is how the so-called boiling frogs in warm water comes from.

This must have been a long process, but Li Neng was ready, and these salt officials were even on his blacklist. They had already caught enough from the Tang Dynasty. It was time to pay a little price for their actions.

In addition to the three prime ministers, Li Yi also relied on Chen Zhibao's imperial guards to understand this matter, and the news he received also made him feel that he was really slapping himself in the face.

Even the people in the Guan, who are almost the best in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, almost all pointed at the salt officials and cursed them.

The people are definitely not stupid. They clearly remember what it was when Li Longji or Li Heng initially issued the price of official salt. However, when the salt arrived at their homes, the price had increased by how much. Who would have changed?

Many people have also found some local officials, but no matter who they are, they say they can't control the organization that controls the salt, and after you sue them, they will definitely make you unable to afford salt.

In some places, you can almost only cost one by one. If you are honest, you will kill you less, and if you are not honest, you will use up most of your income because of eating salt. This is enough to show that these individuals have become so rampant.

Li Yi dared to risk his life on the battlefield. Of course, he dared to do anything when governing the Tang Dynasty. Since these salt officials were like this, Li Yi simply waved his hand and directly ordered Chen Zhibao, asking Chen Zhibao to focus on his goals in Chang'an City first. Once the new policy is announced in the court, he can directly arrest people.

As a salt official, you want to make some money by yourself, but Li Ning is actually not completely opposed. If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

But a gentleman loves money, you have to make it right. If you can make a little money by yourself and make the people of the Tang Dynasty happy, and contribute to the economy of the Tang Dynasty, Li Neng will naturally not care, but you earn all the hard-earned money of the people who should not have earned, so Li Neng must do it.

In the next month or two, starting from Chang'an City, the entire pass fell into chaos, and a large number of salt officials were directly captured by the imperial guards from the bed, and countless money was found in their mansions.

Many people know that their sins are a bit too heavy, and they actually indulged the thugs they raised to attack the imperial guards. The result is naturally a mantis armed with a chariot, and there is no use at all.

This rapid method has caused many county people to cut off salt for several days, but most people are not only angry because of the cut, but instead applaud, which shows how unpopular the salt administration and salt officials were.

The people were actually very bright in their hearts. They knew how arrogant this salt official was. Apart from taking them down directly, there was no good idea. There was even a county around Chang'an. All the salt officials in the county were killed by the imperial guards in the street. After they were killed, they thought that the Central Army General wearing Zuolongwu Army's armor announced the crimes of these salt officials directly in front of the county magistrate, county town and people. No matter whoever was in his hands, he had several lives.

And after these people were killed in the street, several of the onlookers were crying at that time, and this scene was recorded by the recorders of the imperial guards. This was Li Qing's order that when these notorious officials were killed, the expressions of the onlookers around him must be recorded together, so that they can further confirm their sins from the sidelines.

In short, this series of methods directly put the group of salt officials on the opposite side of the court and the people. In the hearts of the people, their emperor Li Neng naturally stood with them. For the sake of salt administration, even the imperial guards were used, which was rare in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, when this matter is passed on to places where such salt administration has not been implemented, the people often have unprecedented confidence. The emperor is on his own side. Of course, as long as the emperor knows that the salt official is doing evil, he will definitely be able to kill him directly.

In the face of the double pressure from the court and the people, Li Neng believed that salt officials in other places could only admit defeat and try to make themselves more lenient.

Of course, these are also some of Li Neng’s own ideas. He cannot decide what effect he can achieve in the end. There are still quite a lot of uncertain factors here.

For a time, news about the Salt Administration spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Because it involved every household using salt every day and consumed huge amounts of salt, ordinary people also received first-hand news.

This naturally includes Yamamoto Kogoro, who has been living in a small county town by the sea.

After he arrived at this place, he never expected that what was waiting for him would be like the farmers of the Tang Dynasty day after day. However, the county magistrate of this place told him that the emperor had an order. Since the Tang Dynasty was a great country and he really wanted to help the surrounding countries master the skills of farming, he, as a local official of the Tang Dynasty, must thoroughly implement the Li's policy.

He also said to Yamamoto Kogoro with great sincerity that he might be a little harder now, but when he returns to his country in the future, he will definitely be respected by all the people. Even if he doesn't want to make this reputation, after learning these things, his country will definitely lose many people who starve to death.
