Chapter 1171: Scourge
The black sky covered the last bit of light in the world. Han Yi sat in the Qiankun Hall, holding the bamboo slips in his hand, and looked carefully. When he encountered some strange places, he would take out his pen,
Circle it and change it.
Standing below are Liu Ji, Xie An, Chen Qun, Xi Zhicai, Xu Guangqi, and Di Renjie.
The six people stood respectfully below, holding bamboo slips one after another! This shows how complicated it is.
"Your Majesty! The prince has brought all the bamboo slips from the past few days!" Zheng He strolled over, followed by two eunuchs, struggling to carry the bamboo slips, which shows the weight of them! Gao Lishi looked helpless, even
I feel a little sorry for Han Yi.
"Huh...!" Han Yi threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the table! He said awkwardly: "I don't see so many bamboo slips on weekdays! Why are there so many today!"
"Report to your Majesty! This time it was the Prince who read it with Wang Meng and many other adults when he was in power. It was the King himself who said it! Everything the Prince read was...!" Zheng He wanted to say more.
Stop the road.
"Your Majesty! The prince is also interested! The bamboo slips tied with red strings are important, but the others are not so serious!" Gao Lishi quickly handed Han Yi a bamboo slip tied with red strings.
Han Yi took it with a heavy breath and was about to open it. He looked at the adults below, each of them looking attentively, as if he was deliberately delaying time. Han Yi took the bamboo slip in his hand and knocked on the table: "Alas.
Alas! I mean, you guys! Have you seen some problems?"
"Your Majesty! The prince handles government affairs meticulously, but the details need to be filled in! There are no other big problems!" Di Renjie put down the correction pen in his hand and said with a smile in his eyes.
"That's right! The two decrees issued during the prince's reign this time! They have a great relationship with the king's campaign! Even the country's income! Let's make another conclusion! If the prince's plan works! Within ten years
! The country will not worry about money and food!" Under Di Renjie, a man wearing a red crown robe with a stern expression handed the two bamboo slips in his hand to Han Yi. Most of the people sitting there were
His face has been revealed, and who could he be if he wasn't Xu Guangqi.
"Hmm!" Han Yi looked curious! He took the bamboo slip and opened it. After a pause, two words flashed in Han Yi's eyes: "Economic means and salt tax!"
Xu Guangqi stroked his beard and said with admiration: "Your Majesty! The prince has purchased a large amount of Wei's money and food in the past few days. This not only weakens the continuity of Wei! It also provides food and grass for our soldiers on the battlefield.
Supply! As the saying goes, food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved! If the king sends troops now, they can march directly into the Wei Kingdom for more than a hundred miles, and the supply of food and grass will not be affected!"
"Master Xu! Although the food and grass are close to the battle site! But there is no guarantee that the enemy will not harass the two wings! With a pack of wolves roaming around, this more than a hundred miles is a bit exaggerated!" Xie An immediately analyzed.
"Hahahahaha! Mr. Xie is right! But the next thing I mentioned is the distance from Chang'an to the border. Now that the prince has hoarded the purchased grain and grass, it has saved us time and effort!" Xu Guangqi agreed.
"Okay, okay! Don't praise this kid! Let me ask you! What's going on with this salt field!" Although Han Yi understood in his heart and also knew the importance of the salt tax, the use of this thing was too
Too narrow! Only nobles can enjoy this salt! Ordinary people can't afford it! If you want to promote it, raise the salt tax! This is still difficult to do.
"Your Majesty! If this salt is promoted well, it will definitely become one of the main incomes of the Ministry of Household Affairs! Your Majesty! This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!" Chen Qun immediately stepped forward and agreed.
"Although this plan is good! But salt is expensive! Ordinary people cannot afford it, and producing salt is time-consuming and labor-intensive! The country does not have that much labor force! The labor force needed for agriculture alone is huge! And over the years, it has been
The soldiers serving are a huge labor force! This is a delay!" Xi Zhicai immediately pointed out these shortcomings, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"These are not unsolvable!" Han Yi picked up the bamboo slips he was looking at and handed them to the people below. Then he leaned on the armchair and said with a heavy breath: "Oh! Xiangling will be built soon."
It’s enough! In one breath, half a million yuan of labor can be spent!”
"Your Majesty, are you kidding! It will take at least three months for Xiangling to be completed! How could it be built in just half a month!" the city wall said in shock.
"It's not impossible!" Liu Ji, who had been silent, took a sip of tea and said with a calm face: "The prince transferred 200,000 Zhongshan immigrants to come over! This way, he got twice the result with half the effort, and secondly, all the major buildings built in Xiangling were built.
Okay! Only some coolies are left! It’s barely finished!”
"This..." At this moment, what else could Chen Qun and Xi Zhicai express besides being shocked?
"Your Majesty! You can send your ministers! This time the salt tax order and the farm field order are two-pronged! You can guarantee that your Majesty will no longer worry about money and food within ten years! Then go to Qiyuan in person! Firstly, it will increase the production of salt! Secondly, it will also comfort you.
Bring all the people together!" Xu Guangqi vowed.
Han Yi took a heavy breath and paused for a moment before saying, "I know what you are capable of! Just go ahead! Nowadays, our family has a big business, but there are also many places to spend money! We need to increase revenue and reduce expenditure! Everyone! Please encourage us more!"
"
"I will not give up even if I die!"
"Your Majesty! This is the roster that Li Ming is involved in! Now it's all in the bamboo slips! Please make your decision, Your Majesty!" Di Renjie stepped forward and said with a serious expression.
Han Yi waved his hand and signaled Gao Lishi to take it. He looked at Di Renjie's eyes and said with a strange smile, "Has the prince seen it?"
"I offered it to the Crown Prince! But the Crown Prince refused as he is appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Civil Service and is an important weapon of the country. I had no choice but to give it to the King!" Di Renjie said calmly.
"Yes!" Han Yi nodded. This boy was quite sensible. When Han Yi opened the bamboo slips and read them carefully, the most interesting thing was that Zhong Yao, although he did not sell it privately, spent a lot of money on the paper, and it turned out to be
In order to even practice his calligraphy, Han Yi was helpless.
Han Yi held a pen in one hand, circled Zhong Yao's name with one hand, and said casually: "These people circled by Gu are relegated to editors, writing books and biographies for the dead general Wencheng, and the others have their property confiscated! They will be sent to the frontier for eternity.
He will not be admitted, and his descendants will not be admitted to the imperial examination for three generations!"
