"Your Majesty, since the Shibo Division has such an important role to play, it should be even more cautious in nominating candidates. The junior minister is still young and inexperienced, so it is difficult for him to take on such an important position!"

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Zexuan refused after a long silence.

This is not because he is not "patriotic", but because he feels that this matter does not need him personally at all! With Li Xiaogong in charge of the Shibo Division, he can basically ensure that no major corruption incidents will occur. He can't think of what else to do except help improve the "customs" system in the lower Tang Dynasty.

Furthermore, he always felt that Lao Li was trying to trick him. The current border situation in Datang has not reached the point where war is imminent. According to the normal historical development process, in August of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Er will send Li Jing and others to send troops to attack the Turks. It's too early, to know that there will be a big hurdle of locust plague in the Tang Dynasty next year!

Li Er's eyes suddenly sank, and his face suddenly became unbearable. Logically, he, the emperor himself, did ideological work for his courtiers, which has already given him a lot of face, but Li Zexuan was still a pair of oil and salt. The dead pig's appearance that he was not afraid of boiling water made him feel annoyed.

"Humph! You are still young? Inexperienced? Which one of the things you have done as a kid can be done by someone so young? According to you, should I also dismiss you as a marquis? Throughout the ages, but there is no one who was named a marquis at the age of fifteen? Huo Qubing made great achievements in battle, and he was also named a champion marquis at the age of twenty!"

Li Er walked down from above, took five steps in front of Li Zexuan, and said with a pause.

When Li Zexuan heard this, he was a little anxious. It's okay to not be an official, but he must have a title. This thing is the foundation of living in the ancient feudal society and not being bullied. Yan Jiuding, how can I take back the title that was awarded?"

Li Zexuan smiled awkwardly with a shy face.

"Humph~!"

Li Er was so angry that he flicked his sleeves. If it weren't for the emperor's majesty, he really wanted to revoke Li Zexuan's title.

"Tell me, how can you be willing to work in the Shibo Company? As long as the requirements are not excessive, I can consider it as appropriate!"

From ancient times to the present, courtiers have always begged the emperor to be an official, but now, he, the emperor, is actually going to "beg" the courtier to be an official, which made Li Er's teeth itch with anger.

However, in his view, the Shibo Division, an institution that has never existed before, must find a long-term vision, think It is managed by someone who is not rigid and really understands maritime trade. Although Li Xiaogong has personally gone to sea, he is more than a step behind Li Zexuan in terms of ideas and ideas.

Let Li Xiaogong be the first in charge of the Shibo Division, taking charge of the overall situation, and then let Li Zexuan be the second in command of the Shibo Division, responsible for the formulation of specific systems, which, in Li Er's opinion, is the most perfect staffing configuration.

"Uh, Your Majesty, the minister is deeply favored by the country. As long as the court needs it, the minister will do his part even if he goes through fire and water. It is absolutely impossible for the minister to take credit for things that have not been done. …”

Li Zexuan said "righteously".

Li Er sneered and said, "Don't blame me for being rude, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Your Majesty, the minister asks for a few mines!"

As soon as Li Er's voice fell, Li Zexuan hurriedly called out.

"Mine? You want iron ore, boy?"

Li Er's face suddenly became serious. For feudal emperors, iron ore was a very sensitive thing.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong of Qi State put forward the policy of "Salt and Iron franchise" in the theory of "Official Mountains and Seas". However, although Guan Zhong was highly respected by later generations, in the hundreds of years after his death, except for Shang Yang, who was keen to reform the law, few people followed his strategy of strengthening the country.

Until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the central government became increasingly empty due to the successive expeditions against the Huns by the imperial court, and the wealthy folk merchants "smelted and cast boiled salt, and the wealth or tens of thousands of gold, but did not assist the public's urgent needs, and the people of Li were in severe distress." The extreme importance of boiled salt and boiled salt to the state taxation has given birth to the policy of "salt and iron monopoly", which has been implemented intermittently for more than two thousand years in Chinese history.

The so-called "salt and iron franchise" means that all the management rights of iron smelting and boiling salt are returned to the central government, but it should be noted that "salt and iron franchise" rather than "salt and iron official operation", as far as the iron smelting industry is concerned, The implementation is state-owned and privately owned. The state generally implements a monopoly policy on all mine resources. As soon as the people find ore seedlings, they will immediately be protected and sealed by the state.

The rulers controlled the pricing power of ironware, and carried out unified purchase and sales of the ironware produced. Under these preconditions, the imperial court opened up the iron smelting workshop industry and allowed private businessmen to operate independently. The value-added part of the business was 70% for civilians and 30% for rulers, which is equivalent to 30% income tax.

However, due to the unavoidable drawbacks of the bureaucratic system, there are some serious problems in the Yantie Official Camp. In order to complete the prescribed tasks, the official ironware only pays attention to the output, and the ironware produced is mostly large farm implements with little application, which are not suitable for farmers to use at all. Not only that, the official ironware also has problems such as high cost, low quality, not allowed to choose, inconvenient to purchase, forced buying and selling, and forced peasants to serve. More importantly, the price of government-run salt and iron is so expensive that many poor people cannot afford it.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ruler abolished the monopoly policy of salt and iron and implemented a taxation system. The Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty focused on special purchases, and the taxation system was restored during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. From the Sui Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty,

The special tax on salt and iron is abolished, and the market tax is the same as other commodities. After the Tang An-Shi Rebellion, due to financial difficulties, the monopoly of salt and iron began to be implemented again.

Since then, successive dynasties have strengthened the monopoly of salt, and imposed a taxation system on iron, which is no longer treated in the same way as salt. The monopoly of salt and iron has brought considerable benefits to the feudal country, especially salt, which has always been the most important monopoly commodity firmly grasped by the feudal governments of all dynasties, and its income is an important source of revenue for the governments of all dynasties.

"Uh, I not only want iron ore, but also a few sulfur mines, I hope Your Majesty's permission!"

Seeing Li Er's suddenly serious expression, Li Zexuan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still said bravely.

When he was in the workshop before, he took it for granted that as long as he found the iron ore based on the memory in his mind, he would own it. Later, when he went back and talked to his father, he realized that his pattern was broken. Today It's rare to have such a good opportunity to talk to Li Er about the conditions. If you don't talk about it, you're simply sorry for yourself!
