Six Hundred and Forty Two Xin Qiji enters Song

Xin Qiji and Wang Kangshi walked side by side, walked for a while, and said something about something or not.

In the end, Xin Qiji asked Wang Kangshi another question.

"What will be the treatment of Chen Ying this time?"

"I can't decide what exactly is. It depends on the results of everyone's discussion, but I will insist on taking away his position as deputy director. With his current state, he cannot continue to hold this responsibility without deep reflection and profound lessons."

Wang Kangshi gave his own answer.

"I'm still a little curious."

Xin Qiji asked, "If he was punished, would it have any impact on the official position he is currently in charge?"

"Official positions are official positions, and they have nothing to do with the Revival Society, and the two have nothing to do with them."

Wang Kangshi smiled.

"Book?"

Xin Qiji keenly grasped the key point: "In my opinion, the relationship between the identity of the Revival Society and the official positions of the court is probably not that simple, right?"

"Hahahaha, that's true. You have been in the center for a long time and don't know much."

Wang Kangshi smiled and said, "But it only took several months for Haizhou to fully implement His Majesty's orders. We don't feel much. But I think if a person does something wrong and is punished, even if his official position remains unchanged, it will still have some impact on him."

"This is understandable. Everyone is a member of the Revival and should have worked together, but one of them was punished for doing something wrong, which is a big blow to his personal image."

Xin Qiji paused and asked again: "When this happens, will Chen Ying, the county magistrate, be unstable?"

"No, judging from the mistakes he made, although he violated the court's laws and did not reach the point where he needed to be dismissed or demoted, the Judicial Bureau's handling was safe, and he was still the county magistrate."

Wang Kangshi shook his head and said, "But in the future, his situation should be worse than before. How can those who will not be fully trusted by their subordinates as before and ignore the people get the full recognition of their colleagues?"

"That's similar to what I thought. It seems that the influence of Revival will be very big."

Xin Qiji smiled and said, "Director Wang, your burden is not light."

"Please do it hard, you can't let Your Majesty down."

Wang Kangshi nodded and said, "As the first place in the country to implement His Majesty's policies, everything is seen by the colleagues of the Revival Association. We cannot do wrong things. If we do wrong, it will affect the overall situation."

"It's hard, it's hard for everyone."

Xin Qiji shook his head and said, "But if the Ming Dynasty wants to be free from worries about famine and no one will be exploited or oppressed, we can only stick to this path."

Wang Kangshi agreed deeply.

After the meeting with Wang Kangshi, Xin Qiji still lived in Qushan County and was waiting for news from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Before officially entering the Song Dynasty, he further learned something interesting through his conversation with Zheng Chenghong.

Private salt sales in Haizhou have had some twists and turns recently.

The official salt sales team led by Lin Jingchun has three teams in Haizhou. They are secretly organized by the Salt Department, a subordinate department of the Ministry of Finance. They are not public and unknown.

As early as the period of the Restoration Army, Zhao Kaishan used the price gap between Jin and Song salt to make a fortune. Later, Su Yonglin took over this method of making money after controlling Haizhou and continued to sell private salt to the Southern Song Dynasty.

After Su Yonglin controlled the Central Plains, he carried out salt administration reforms, which greatly reduced the price of salt and improved the quality of salt, made salt an affordable daily necessities for every household. Through a comprehensive reorganization, the cost of selling private salt to the Southern Song Dynasty was reduced.

In the Jin Dynasty, selling private salt to the Southern Song Dynasty also required some twists and turns. During this period, some people took commissions from it, indirectly increasing the cost of the Jin Dynasty and reducing profits.

As soon as Su Yonglin took action, he killed all the intermediaries and acted as a supplier and channel provider himself, serving all one-stop services without intermediate links.

In this way, selling private salt to the Southern Song Dynasty became one of the important financial sources of official control, providing very important assistance to the Restoration Army and the current Ming government. This income can fill many important expenditure needs.

And if we should say it, even if the Liberation Army made a fortune and made a lot of profits, and the private salt dealers in the Southern Song Dynasty made a fortune, and finally sold it to the people of the Southern Song Dynasty, the price of private salt was much cheaper than the official salt eaten by the people of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Not only is it much cheaper, but the quality is very good, white and thin, not like official salt, yellow and trendy.

So although I know that eating private salt is dangerous and if I am caught, the consequences are serious, the people in the Southern Song Dynasty are still willing to buy smuggled Mingguo salt to eat instead of official salt.

This shows that the high price of official salt in the Southern Song Dynasty has forced many people to be desperate and would rather risk their lives to eat private salt than "safe" official salt.

Originally, selling from Haizhou to Chuzhou, and then selling from the Southern Song private salt dealers in Chuzhou to various places has become a private salt sales chain. Everyone gets what they need and makes a fortune together. Hello, I, Hello, everyone.

However, some time ago, the Southern Song Dynasty dealers who had contacted the salt trafficking team in Haizhou disappeared one after another.

After Lin Jingchun learned the news, he immediately instructed people to investigate. After the investigation, the Song Ting carried out a major rectification of the Chuzhou private salt market, and even took down the original Chuzhou governor and replaced it with a newcomer.

Then the Chuzhou private salt system under the protection of the elderly was completely destroyed. The private salt dealers died and heard that many of them were killed and died very miserably.

As a result, the old private salt sales channels were no longer used, and the new ones would not be known when they would be opened, so the income from selling private salt in Haizhou was temporarily gone.

According to Lin Jingchun's analysis, the Southern Song Dynasty probably could not tolerate the Ming Dynasty's private salt making a large amount of profits that should belong to them, but he did not dare to blatantly engage in friction with the Ming Dynasty. He could only secretly make his own people and replace them with a group of people to cut off the sales of Ming Dynasty's private salt.

He dared not engage in friction with Mingguo, but he could kill these thieves in his family.

Unless Mingguo blatantly helps these thieves take charge of their own affairs.

The Ming Kingdom probably wouldn't do this blatantly because it's too ugly.

So the current situation is a bit stalemate. Although this matter is not under Zheng Chenghong's jurisdiction, it is related to the country's income and he has to worry about it.

If this income was really cut off by the Southern Song Dynasty, it would probably have a significant impact on the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

But Xin Qiji is not worried about this.

"The world is bustling with people, all driven by profits, and all driven by profits. With such a huge profit, who wouldn't be moved?"

"you mean?"

"Wait, without our salt, the most urgent thing is not us, but the Song people themselves."

Xin Qiji had a very clear understanding of this. He dared to bet that the Song people would come back soon and continue the business.

Even if it is against the emperor's orders.

A few days later, on the eighth day of the December 19th, Xin Qiji received a note from the Southern Song Dynasty that allowed entry.

In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty also sent specialists to welcome Xin Qiji and escorted Xin Qiji all the way to smoothly go south and head straight to Lin'an.

When learning that Xin Qiji was the chief of staff of the Ming State's General Staff, the Southern Song Dynasty also decided to send officials with equal status to greet him.

Because Su Yonglin made some modifications to the Jin Dynasty's official system, some newly established official positions were unclear in the Southern Song Dynasty. For example, what the Chief of Staff did was not the case, and the Southern Song Dynasty did not know from the beginning.

Of course, this is not a secret, so later Su Yonglin sent someone to inform the Southern Song Dynasty about what some newly established Ming officials were responsible for.

For example, this staff is responsible for discussing military operations with the emperor, formulating tactical strategies and then issuing orders to the military department.

To put it bluntly, it was the Privy Council in the early Northern Song Dynasty, but it only changed its identity.

By this, the Southern Song Dynasty knew what the identity of Xin Qiji, the chief of staff, was.

What a guy, the big guy with military command is here!

This is amazing, you have to deal with it carefully.
