Chapter 1091
Originally, I wanted to see what outstanding things happened to this prefect Lin, whether it was loyal to Dongyue or to the people, Qin Feng also felt that it was not easy to find a balance, but he didn't expect that this Lin Ruzhi was outstanding.
He reported the matter of private salt truthfully, and the news had been sent to the palace. Lin Ruzhi did not immediately order the people to prohibit the purchase of private salt, but also submitted a petition to provide subsidies for the purchase of daily necessities in poor areas.
In the memorial, this prefect Lin cried to complain about the suffering of the people in the southwest. The harsh and stubborn disease was too severe, and the people suffered so much. Many people left their hometowns. Not only that, although the winter drought improved after treatment, the grain did not have a bumper harvest, and the agricultural tax was too heavy, and the people had abandoned their land.
This person first stated in the memorial, but later cried poorly, and still remembered to throw the pot to his former prefect Li Shanzhao. The current situation in the southwest was caused by his former's poor governance. He, the prefect who came to finish the matter was really embarrassed.
It is forbidden to buy private salt for the people. People are complaining. In the end, they use chili powder to replace salt and are prone to illness. The health and medical conditions in the southwest are poor, the mortality rate is high, and they are already behind. If there are fewer people, wouldn’t they be even more backward?
Lin Ruzhi's performance was not like a cold official. He thought he would be like Huang Tang, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
Stop the blame, cry poorly, and play so hard!
Not only that, neither the top nor the other was offended. Cao Jing copied the whole memorial, and the tone of the word was to regard Emperor Yuan as the savior, and he wished he could come and save himself from the fire and water, and he would have a great miserable life.
To the lower side, Lin Ruzhi did not force the people not to buy private salt, but left a breathing opportunity for the people first, nor did he offend the people.
What to do next? For Lin Ruzhi, he completely obeyed the above meaning. If he really wanted to ban it, it was not that Lin Ruzhi wanted to ban it, but that the superiors wanted to ban it. If he successfully obtained a subsidy for salt purchase, he could keep a reputation as a virtuous official for both superiors and subordinates.
This idea is not unwise, and it is impossible to be thoughtful!
"It's a powerful person, it's a pity to kill him." Qin Feng looked at Cao Jing, who was full of murderous intentions in his eyes and said, "There are many people in the southwest, can this prefect Lin notice it?"
"It has not been said that most of the people who defect to us are in the name of going to other places to make a living. Moreover, many people in the southwest have left their hometowns before. Even if he had just noticed it, we released the news that private salt is prevalent in the southwest, and he could only concentrate on this matter in a short period of time."
"What's more, there are all the messes left by Li Shanzhao waiting for him to clean up." Cao Jing said: "I want to know even more if he asked for such a note. Can the people buy salt and profit for the so-called salt and profit?"
Xiao Lingyao sneered: "It takes time to go from southwest to Suicheng, but also time to present the letter to that person. Now it is Song Xiang's cabinet, which is related to people's livelihood. He will definitely not hide it and will definitely submit it."
If it were the one who used to be, it would not be certain whether this note could see the sky light!
The Tang Prime Minister has been involved in private salt.
"Even if this complaint can be presented to the person smoothly, we still have to draw conclusions and deal with it. The salt price involved, and the Ministry of Revenue will also involve it. After this process, how much time will it take?"
Cao Jing suddenly realized: "So, Lin Ruzhi's behavior was actually made the worst plan. If he refused to criticize him, he would do his best and the people would not be able to blame him. If he criticized him, it would naturally be a political achievement and win the recognition of the people."
"What's more, he bought time for himself and could think of other ways to solve this problem. It was to find a hidden way for him." Xiao Lingyao shook his head and said, "A person like this has only been to the prefect and has been sent to the southwest."
"This person's life experience is not obvious. His father was also a Juren at that time, but he did not go further. Later, he became a documentary in the local government office and made a living by copying documents for the government. His mother was an embroiderer. Mr. Lin also had a younger brother and a younger sister, and he was the eldest son in the family."
"Because of his family background, he was raised by his mother. Because it was inconvenient for a woman to show up, his mother's embroidery pieces were brought to the market for sale. I can be said to be a good idea of survival in the market and did not become rigid because of studying."
"He became a Jinshi by imperial examinations and then entered the officialdom. If you want to say that he had also become a disciple of Taishi Tang, but Taishi Tang could not see him at all, and he tended to be the children of aristocratic families, so he was marginalized in the Taishi camp, which was a blessing in disguise."
Qin Feng understood Cao Jing's words that Emperor Yuan had a deep heart to Taishi Tang and cleaned up the Taishi party. However, this Lin scholar, because he was not attracted by the attention, had no sense of existence.
"It can be seen from this that this is a good person who is good at managing the business, and it is no wonder that he came up with such an idea this time." Xiao Lingyao said: "It is true that this person is talented, but his mind is too delicate. If you want to use it, you must also be careful."
Compared with Zheng Tong who was dug up from the southwest before, the man was much more sincere and simple, and he was as focused on fortifications as Song Qingming. Just like Song Qingming's trumpet, he also wanted to explore and utilize it. He was much more cautious when dealing with Lin Ruzhi.
Qin Feng signaled Cao Jing to continue, Cao Jing said: "Lin Ruzhi has already started a family and married the daughter of a sixth-rank official. Now he has a son and a daughter, and he has both children. After this time, his family will follow him, and the family has not separated."
"Their parents have never entered Sui City and both live in their hometowns." Cao Jing said: "He is from Lingnan, and the distance is not far. Our people have already gone there, so we will go to his hometown to inquire."
Not to mention, Cao Jing's desperate and digging style is suitable for this intelligence leader. He wants to dig out all the eighteen generations of Lin Ruzhi's ancestors. Just imagine, if this new magistrate in the southwest knew that his underwear was almost stripped naked, what would it feel?
"It's surprising that the officials who took over in the Southwest are so slick. They can't tell whether they are loyal or traitorous. Why do you think this person wants to be a member of the crowd? But he just didn't find a chance?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
Cao Jing has always been stern, and a smile also flowed across his handsome face. Xiao Lingyao said: "Since that's the case, it's better to have another dose of strong medicine. We have released the private salt circulating in the southwest recently. Why not... tighten it?"
After Li Shanzhao's incident, he took the lead in the local private salt, and no new private salt poured in. Kuya's geographical location was superior, and there was a lot of residual salt after the salt production increased. So he simply took this opportunity to send salt to the southwest and make a big profit.
Good guy, Qin Feng thought to himself that if women become cruel, there is nothing wrong with men. With this tightening, the people cannot buy private salt, so they can only pay more money to buy official regular salt!
