Chapter 2880 offer suggestions
In such a dangerous situation as Jiangnan, he was able to escape unstoppably and stabilize the overall situation.
In the court, he was not afraid of any gaze or any force.
The emperor also looked at Lin Ruhai, with a good sense of feeling, and always felt that Lin Ruhai was different from the last time he met.
Although he still looks that way, his demeanor is even more extraordinary.
The emperor was very satisfied with Lin Ruhai's performance and said three "goods".
Almost all court officials thought Lin Ruhai would die in Jiangnan, but now Lin Ruhai has not only returned, but has also achieved such political achievements.
Judging from the emperor's expression of being unable to stop, he liked Lin Ruhai very much. I guess Lin Ruhai's official position will be promoted again this time.
After the court came, the emperor directly called the eunuch and handed Lin Ruhai to the imperial study room.
Bai Yixiu followed the eunuch in and saluted respectfully, "I met the emperor with the empress, long live my emperor."
The emperor enjoyed the court officials' kneeling and bowed down very much today, and said, "Lin Aiqing, get up quickly."
Bai Yixiu took the opportunity and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor asked, hoping that Lin Ruhai could put forward some good suggestions or effective reform methods, "Lin Aiqing, you have achieved great results in handling salt administration in Jiangnan, but salt affairs are the top priority, and it will affect the whole body.
Although I know that there are many disadvantages of salt administration and need reform, I don’t know where to start? Lin Aiqing has been in Yangzhou for a long time and is very skilled in handling salt administration. He should know the twists and turns better than me. If I want to reform, where should I reform?"
At this time, Bai Yixiu took out a thick memorial from his arms and submitted it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have the trust of your Majesty. I have been in Yangzhou for many years and have a lot of experience in handling the salt administration.
There are indeed many disadvantages and omissions in the current salt administration and need to be changed. Therefore, the empress came up with some measures to improve these situations, and wrote them all in the memorials. Please also ask the emperor to review them."
When the emperor heard this, he was slightly shocked. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai's idea coincided with him. He was worthy of being the person valued by the Supreme Emperor back then, and he was indeed talented.
Without waiting for the eunuch to present it, the emperor walked directly to Bai Yixiu and took the thick memorial, unable to wait to open it and read it.
Bai Yixiu stood like this, and the emperor looked and asked, sometimes frowned and thought. About half an hour later, the emperor finally finished reading from beginning to end.
The emperor looked at Bai Yixiu, "Lin Aiqing, your methods are all very good, but it is very difficult to implement. If the salt price is reduced, those salt merchants will object. If they join forces and give up, the people will not be able to buy salt, and the trouble will occur."
Bai Yixiu chuckled, and then took out two pieces of paper from another sleeve, "Prince, please see. This is the best salt worker in Ruhai gathering. The cost is 30% of the original salt cost, less than half. When the cost is reduced, the salt price will naturally drop.
In addition, salt merchants join forces to solve the problem better. After we draw out this salt, we can auction it, and those with the higher price will get it. Salt is a piece of fat. Rich people in other industries have long been jealous, but salt is official, so people in other industries cannot get in at all.
