    Although he had thought about it, when it really happened, Ren Changle felt that his heart was trembling.  He raised his head with disbelief, looked at Emperor Tianqi, and said tremblingly: "Is what the wise brother said true?" As if he had expected Ren Changle's reaction, Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile and said in a deep voice: "  That's natural. How can I talk nonsense about such a thing?" After a long time, Ren Changle slowly realized it, slowly raised his head, looked at Emperor Tianqi, and said: "Brother, please treat such confidential matters!  Brother Yu said that, Brother Yu is very grateful. If there is any place where Brother Yu can be used, it¡¯s okay for Brother Xian to say so!¡± Emperor Tianqi hugged Ren Changle and said with a smile: ¡°Brother Ren really knows the elegant meaning after hearing the virtuous song.  , Although Longchang Company is powerful and powerful, it is still alone in this land of Jiangnan! If you want to show your skills in Jiangnan, you still need someone you can trust!" He quickly stood up and bowed to Emperor Tianqi!  After giving the gift, Ren Changle said seriously: "Brother Yu is the savior of Brother Yu's family. If there is any instruction, the Ren family will go through fire and water without hesitation!" He nodded and stretched out his hand to help Ren Changle up. Emperor Tianqi knew in his heart  about there!  Ren Changle is also a smart person, and he may be a little too much as he continues to act!  The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time!  "Brother Ren, please sit down! I also want to hear Brother Ren's views on selling official salt. I still need Brother Ren's advice on this!" Emperor Tianqi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them sat down again.  .  "Since Brother Xian wants to hear it, Brother Yu will talk to Brother Xian! In fact, Brother Yu's family has been in the salt business for generations, and the routines here are actually very easy to understand!" Ren Changle nodded slowly.  , said with a serious voice.  Looking at Ren Changle seriously, Emperor Tianqi said sincerely: "Brother Ren, just say it. There is no need to hide anything. What I said today came from brother Ren's mouth, and it will not be passed on to any third person!" "Brother Ren!"  Seriously, this is something that many people know, but no one wants to say it! Nowadays, the price of salt in the government is 20 cents per bucket, which is not expensive, and most people can afford it!  Brother Yu, let me talk about personal relationships for my virtuous brother. This is a very serious topic!" Ren Changle smiled calmly and started talking about personal relationships!  Straightening his body, Emperor Tianqi nodded.  Said: "I'm all ears, brother Ren, it's okay to talk!" "Private salt has always existed. If you want to understand private salt, then you have to start from its source. The source of private salt can be divided into several parts,  Some of them are dried by themselves, or dug by themselves. The large salt fields are now occupied by the imperial court, and the imperial court is very strict in investigating and punishing them, so there is not much illegal salt in this part." Ren Changle looked at Emperor Tianqi, waiting for Tianqi.  The emperor's reaction!  After thinking for a moment with a frown, Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly. This is not difficult to understand.  According to what we just found out, the imperial court's current annual salt production is five million yin, with each salt producing three shi.  Each stone weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms.  Calculated according to this figure, one introduction of table salt is 360 kilograms!  One can imagine the amount of salt that five million introduces.  Compared with this amount, the salt that is sun-dried and dug out privately is completely negligible.  If the court does not manage them, they may overflow, but now the best salt fields are all in the hands of the court.  The imperial court also strictly investigated those who dried and dug salt privately, and it didn't matter if they ignored it!  Nodding, Emperor Tianqi agreed with Ren Changle's statement, and said with a smile: "Brother Ren is really insightful. He is very knowledgeable. I can teach you, brother Ren!" Mr. Ren said a few polite words, then his expression became serious, and then  Once he said: "Another private salt channel is the salt lord. Most of these people are fiber households on both sides of the canal. Many times they can't survive, so they become salt lords. They work together in groups of a dozen or hundreds of people.  I don¡¯t have much money, and I only sell a few rocks of salt at a time!¡± ¡°Where did the salt in the hands of these salt lords come from?¡± Emperor Tianqi immediately grasped the key point and asked with a serious look.  Looking at Emperor Tianqi blankly, Ren Changle did not expect Emperor Tianqi to be so interested in private salt. He smiled and said: "Most of the private salt of these salt lords is bought from the custodians. The custodians of the salt field secretly  Withheld!" Emperor Tianqi nodded, and then said, "The rest is the largest amount of private salt, right? This salt was kept secret by the officials, right?" "Xiandi is really a great talent?  , Exactly! The imperial court has a transshipment office in the salt field. These people secretly communicate with each other and conceal the output of salt. Take this case, the imperial court has not found out the output of salt for many years. This investigation is two million.  Yin! There are only three million yuan of official salt every year, which shows how rampant illegal salt is!" Ren Changle sighed softly. He had known these things for a long time, but he had no idea.With no power left, one can imagine the anguish in my heart!  Nodding, Emperor Tianqi also knew about this matter. After thinking about it with a frown, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Since the matter is like this, what can Brother Ren do?" "Brother Yu has also thought about it for so many years. The salt of the imperial court.  There are many shortcomings in the government. The biggest one is the hereditary system of salt merchants. Salt merchants own salt regulations, and salt regulations can be hereditary. There will be a big problem if the salt regulations are changed to every five years!  Choosing a new salt merchant may be able to solve this problem!" Ren Changle smiled calmly and said confidently.  "It's possible to elect once every five years, but it's hard to guarantee that those elected are not the official's family members. It's also difficult to prevent this!" Emperor Tianqi lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly.  Looking at Emperor Tianqi with admiration, Ren Changle said with emotion: "Brother Xian is really a great talent. He knows everything at once! Yes, what Brother Xian said makes sense. But this time Brother Yu can see the feasibility of this.  If the election of salt merchants is handed over to Longchang Company, this problem will naturally be avoided. Merchants are chasing profits, and naturally they will be left to whoever can do it best! " "If this can be done, the court will do it every day.  By sending court officials to inspect the salt fields every five years, the salt administration can be guaranteed! As for the sale of official salt, it can be done as before. Different salt merchants can be used in different places, as long as the Longchang company is under the control of the transportation!  In the hands of the imperial court, there is no danger!" Ren Changle said, staring at Emperor Tianqi.  Ren Changle has always suspected the relationship between Longchang Company and the palace, and was even more curious about the identity of Emperor Tianqi.  Asking this question now can be regarded as a test. Let¡¯s see how Emperor Tianqi answers!  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi already agreed with Ren Changle's idea. Regarding Ren Changle's test, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Brother Ren, don't worry about the affairs of the court. This little brother can think of some ways! Now I have some things to deal with."  "Brother Ren, I wonder if Brother Ren agrees?" Although Emperor Tianqi didn't explain anything, Ren Changle already understood that Emperor Tianqi had told him that there would be no problem with the court.  He stood up, bowed to the ground in front of Emperor Tianqi, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yu relies entirely on Brother Xian to save his life. No matter what your instructions are today, Brother Yu will obey them all!" "Brother Yu will return to Beijing soon, and Longchang Company will send someone to deal with it later.  Regarding the salt matter, we still need a big shopkeeper to handle the salt business for Longchang Company. I see that Brother Ren is an upright person and is very knowledgeable about salt matters! I hope Brother Ren can join Longchang Company and help Longchang Company.  The company takes care of the salt matter!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Ren Changle with bright eyes. This was something he had thought about for a long time, and Ren Changle was also the most suitable candidate.  Standing there blankly, Ren Changle knew the benefits of being a salt merchant, but he didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi would actually leave this matter to him!  After a long time, Ren Changle said with a serious face: "Don't worry, my dear brother. Brother Fool will do his best to live up to your trust!" "That's very good. Brother Ren, don't be surprised by what you do! What happens next will happen.  The people from Longchang Company will discuss with Brother Ren! One thing Brother Ren can rest assured is that Longchang Company will not treat the Ren family badly. As long as things are done well, I will be grateful! "Emperor Tianqi knows that he wants the horse to run away.  Be sure to feed good grass!  The connection of interests is the strongest relationship!  "My boss is in serious trouble. No matter who I entrust such a matter to, they will all be filled with gratitude. Brother Yu is not talented, so he will do his best!" Ren Changle is very smart and a good person. Naturally, he will not think that Emperor Tianqi is seeking this position for himself.  It must be made clear!  Seeing that Ren Changle was so aware of current affairs, Emperor Tianqi was immediately overjoyed and said to Chen Lin who was standing at the door: "Go find Yuan Keli, I have something to say!" "Yes, Young Master!" Chen Lin did not dare to neglect at all, bowing  He stepped back and glanced at Ren Changle before leaving.  He knew that this person was valued by Emperor Tianqi and his future was limitless! ????????????????????????????? It seems that Dongchang and Jinyiwei need to explain themselves when they get back. This Longchang company is the emperor¡¯s property.  That is the emperor's money bag. No one can touch the emperor's money bag!  It didn¡¯t take long, and Yuan Ke came back immediately. He followed Yang He to ransack the house. He has been busy these days!  Emperor Tianqi didn't look for him, but he came back!  The memorial between him and Yang He had been written and was now in Yuan Keli's arms.  "Come, come! Brother Ren, you know this Mr. Yuan, but today I want you to get to know him again!" He pulled the two people to his side with a smile, and Emperor Tianqi said cheerfully: "Ren Changle, Longchang Company is here  As the shopkeeper of Jiangnan, I will leave the salt of Longchang Company to him in the future!" Yuan Keli was not surprised at all. He had already thought of this, but the next words of Emperor Tianqi made Yuan Keli stand still.  !  "Yuan Keli, the emperor just promoted??'s new governor of Southern Zhili, you will have to deal with each other for a long time in the future!  "Emperor Tianqi looked at the two people and said in a deep voice.
