The court issued the power of salt stolen to many families, the emperor had the power to issue, and the cabinet also had the power. In addition, many twists and turns, it was too difficult to rectify salt stolen and not very effective. Fu said that the plan was to directly rectify the salt stolen land. As long as the source of goods was in hand, no matter who was in his hands, he had to obediently pay the money.

At this time, the method of producing salt was extremely backward. The seawater was placed in a large pot and the firewood was boiled with firewood and dried up the water, and the rest was salt. This method consumed extremely firewood and waste a lot of labor, resulting in the high price of salt.

But Fu said that he did not think about improving it. He naturally knew how to use the sun to dry salt. Although he didn't know how to do it, if the method continued, there were naturally skilled craftsmen who could experiment. However, if the method of drying salt became popular, the disadvantages outweighed the benefits.

First, it is not conducive to control. If salt is dried, as long as the seaside has conditions, the threshold is lowered. However, large-scale salt cooking requires people to use territories, and can only be concentrated in a few places, so it is easy to control the court to maintain its monopoly. Second, salt is originally a means to block all ethnic groups outside the border, such as the Moji people, who have to smuggle big pieces of salt from Daguang every year. If the method of salt drying spreads, western Liaoning also has a place near the sea, and a way to restrict them is lost.

Things in the world have never been taken for granted! The method of drying salt in sea water is not difficult. There are some sporadic records in history, but they have not been popularized. You can also imagine the reason. In fact, the taste of drying salt is extremely poor and bitter, and there are many magazines. In the world before Fu Shuo, during the Republic of China, drying salt was defeated by the well salt from Sichuan.

With this salt-cooking system, Fu Shuo has the possibility of monopolizing the production of salt. In addition to Yuanzhou, there are several other places in the world salt farm. As long as it monopolizes one by one, the supply of salt in the world will be held in Fu Shuo's hands, so that it is easier to collect money.

"Call the people from the Salt Government Office to see me!" Fu said that the order was given, so there was naturally someone to execute it. This is the benefit of the superiors. As long as you continue to give a word, you don't have to think about it at all. Naturally, there are people below who can do it. But the same is, when the people below do things for you, you will get a lot of benefits. I don't know this!

When Xie Zuhui went down, Yue Shanqiu, who had not spoken, asked, "Master, are you planning to take the Salt Administration Office to do an operation?"

Fu Shuo nodded: "As long as you have the absolute force to deal with these people, you don't need to take too much into consideration. The Salt Administration is a Feishui Office. I killed an unknown number of people and squeezed in. Just choose the honest and obedient ones!"

Yue Shanqiu was silent. This is to use his strength to break the tricks. Since all dynasties and generations, the salt administration has had many problems and no one can solve them. However, it is not that it cannot be solved. First, the human rights and responsibilities are too small to dare to use barbaric means. Second, it is also that it is afraid of causing trouble. The salt administration will contribute one million taels of silver to the court a year. If something really goes wrong, it will cause money to be collected. This is a huge disaster. No one can bear it. But Fu said that he has power and soldiers, and he is not afraid of any mistakes at all.

"Wait for the people from the Salt Administration to come, you go and see them." Fu Shi said lightly: "This kind of intrigue is too troublesome."

Yue Shanqiu is smart and capable. When he was in the palace, he solved all kinds of troubles that were shameless for the emperor. After hearing this, he had to smile bitterly: "What Master said is that if you have something to do, you will be convinced!"

In Fu Shuo's eyes, there was only a little thing, but in Yuanzhou, the waves were turbulent. From the governors, the censors, and the stoves that cook salt, they were in panic all day long. I wonder what this great master of the National Master wanted to do.

As the highest official of a province, the governor just said lightly: "It's not your business. Just hold it high." It's fine, although he has a high position, he cannot directly manage the Salt Administration. He only receives tens of thousands of taels of silver from the Salt Administration every year.

The stove owners below were a little nervous. The production of salt boiled was backward, the output was small, the labor productivity was low, and the cost was high. In particular, the amount of firewood consumed a lot of firewood. Cooking into one lever of salt consumed about 400 kilograms of firewood.

No matter how expensive the salt is, it has nothing to do with them. On the contrary, it is extremely hard. In the early spring, the water is biting cold, and the salt people rolled up their trousers and barefoots to repair the beach in the mud pool. When it comes to salt, they dragged a large rake and carried a large basket weighing 300 kilograms to raise salt.

After working as a beach worker for a few years, they often end up being sick and even disabled. They have heavy workloads and low income. A young and strong laborer only earns 2,500 kilograms of red sorghum a year. Salters live in the beach houses that were "fallen back then", which are short, damp and difficult to shelter from wind and rain. But this is the only point of supporting the family of these stove households. If they don't dry salt for a few days, the stove households will not be able to eat.

Rumors came, saying that the newly sent national gurus from the court did not leave a way for these stove households to survive, and asked the stove households to double the daily salt production. Some also said that the national gurus thought there were too many stove households and wanted to lay off half of them. This made the stove households excited and prepared to go on strike. The promoters behind all this hid in the salt administration office to discuss conspiracies.

"What should I do? What should I do? This time the national teacher is not good!" The Salt Class, the head of the Salt Department, looked anxious. This time the national teacher invited him to see him, but he didn't even see the national teacher. Instead, a guard explained the orders of the national teacher to him. Suddenly, the salt class master knew that the national teacher was coming this time, and he had no intention.

But this was the national teacher of the dynasty who was so powerful that he almost competed with the emperor, which was equivalent to the emperor coming to inspect himself. Such a brilliant trend made him breathless. But he had to resist. At this position, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were put into his own pocket a year. His own master and a huge chain of interests could not allow him to withdraw.

"What should we do? Let's take a break!" The salt inspector below said in a grudge: "I have already ordered to incite all the mud legs of the stove households and let them all go on strike. There is no salt to sell at that time, let's see how he, the national teacher, ends!"

"That's right, if it really doesn't work. Then, I have to do it all the time. Mobilize the soldiers from the Salt Administration and kill this dog thief!"

The salt class clerk was shocked and cursed his foolishness in his heart. This trick might be useful to deal with other court ministers. But using this trick to deal with the national master is to seek death. After swallowing, the salt class clerk said with a sad face: "If you are seeking death, don't hold us. What if the national master doesn't reason with us at all and sends troops to suppress it directly? Don't forget that he also has five thousand Beijing soldiers who have fought against the Moji people."
