Daqin: The opening system asked me to propose to Lu Su
Chapter 54 Salt Iron Monopoly
"What, such a difficult problem, you actually said it's a trivial matter?"
All the ministers looked at Chen Hao with disbelief in their eyes.
But at this moment, a line of reminders appeared in Chen Hao's eyes.
【Ding!Congratulations to the host for triggering the plot selection. 】
[Option 1: Go north to Yanmen to block the Xiongnu cavalry army, and reward the host with 5000 good Dawan horses. 】
[Option 2: Refuse to go north, reward the host with a compass manufacturing method, a watch compass. 】
Huh!Dawan Liangma is one of a thousand miles.
Although I don't know if it is the legendary sweat-blooded BMW, but as long as you get it, you will definitely not suffer.
Chen Hao looked at a series of prompts displayed on the panel, and Chen Hao was still evaluating the difficulty of this mission.
Of course, these are not problems for people who now have four thousand Zhejiang soldiers.
"Chen Qing, is what you said true?"
Shi Huang's eyes were bright, but at the same time full of doubts.
After all, he has been in charge of the government for many years, and his proficiency in government affairs has reached the full level. He knows very well how much background the Great Qin has.
It is also because of this that even with the Huns outside and the remnants of the six kingdoms inside, the Great Wall can be built at the same time and the tombs can be built at the same time, and the empire still keeps running.
It's just that the balance in this is delicate.
Therefore, in the face of the surprise attack of Prince Modun of the Huns, he seemed at a loss.
"Report to Your Majesty, when did the subject tell a wrong lie?"
Ying Zheng laughed when he heard this.
But at this moment, a slightly old voice suddenly snorted coldly.
"Chen Hao! You are just possessing extraordinary skills and ingenuity, how can you make such wild words?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that Chunyu Qiong had already stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Chen Hao.
In his eyes, Chen Hao harmed his son Fusu while he was traveling around the world, and his behavior was the same as that of Prince Maodun.
Looking at Chunyu Yue's hostile gaze, Chen Hao didn't take it seriously.
Because in his eyes, science and technology are the primary productive forces.
"Why, Mr. Chunyu, what's your opinion?"
"Could it be that in your heart, my Daqin's god-armed crossbow is also a strange skill?"
Chunyu Yue was at a loss for words for a while, because the crossbowmen of the Great Qin Dynasty did play an indispensable role in unifying the six kingdoms.
He was out of breath for a moment, and it took him a while to react.
Immediately waved his hand and retorted: "You! You are changing the concept secretly!"
"Now the imperial court needs money, do you have any way to get it?"
"Of course there is. It is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and innovating technology."
"Open source? Reduce expenditure? Technology?" Chun Yuyue sneered, "It's easy to say!"
"Look at the whole court, where there is extra money and tax sources that can be developed."
After speaking, he raised his arms and stared at Chen Hao.
In his eyes, Chen Hao, a jester, can never think of any way to make money for the court.
However, what people didn't expect was.
As soon as his voice fell, Chen Hao said four words.
"Salt and iron monopoly."
"Salt and iron monopoly?"
Chun Yuyue, Meng Tian and Ying Zheng whispered these words almost at the same time.
Most of the courtiers also frowned.
They have read poetry and books, so they naturally understand the meaning of these two words.
However, it is difficult to understand the two words together.
"Chen Qing, tell me what you think."
Zulong is worthy of being Zulong. When Chen Hao said these four words, he had already smelled them.
A burst of excitement suddenly appeared in his eyes, and there was a tinge of scorching heat in his eyes looking at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao understood, and stretched out his finger to the outside of the hall.
"Presumably everyone should know that salt and iron are profitable among the people."
"Actually, this salt and iron monopoly literally means that the monopoly of salt and iron is taken into the hands of the imperial court."
"Salt, needless to say."
"Farmers have to eat salt every day, otherwise they will have no energy and cannot work in the fields."
He turned around slowly, his gaze fell on the courtiers.
"As for the salt, since His Majesty received the soldiers of the world in Xianyang."
"The business of ironware fell into the hands of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and some people."
"If Your Majesty can reopen the ironware and let it be managed by the government, I am afraid that my Daqin's tax revenue will definitely rise to a higher level."
Only at this moment did Chen Hao pause, and slightly raised his hand to scan the group of officials.
Historically, salt and iron monopoly was a big killer.
Proper use, like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, can defy the sky and prosper a nation.
Of course, if you don't use it well, you will die and the country will be scolded by all generations.
Because of this policy, some people's cakes were directly touched.
"you!"
Several courtiers under the Jiuqing had already glared at Chen Hao.
Because Chen Hao mentioned some people, exactly referring to these corrupt officials who have pocketed their own money.
Chen Hao bypassed their eyes and looked directly at Ying Zheng.
"If Your Majesty can let go of the ironware business and let the government specialize in salt and iron, then this income can at least cover half of Daqin's agricultural tax."
"Half!"
When Zu Long heard Chen Hao's statement, his eyes showed a hint of shock.
Because he never thought that after he took over the soldiers of the world, ironware would still have such a huge market among the people.
Daqin is based on agriculture, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.
I never thought that the salt tax could create so much wealth.
Thinking of this, Zu Long sighed heavily, and made up his mind to investigate the matter of ironware.
"Chen Qing, what you said is absolutely true!"
"However, the reopening of the iron weapon still needs careful consideration."
He glanced at the officials, and there was a hint of meaning in his eyes.
And some of the officials were already gnashing their teeth at Chen Hao.
Among them, Li Si was included.
"Chen Taibao, although these things can increase the court's income, they still need to be discussed in the long run."
"What we need to do now is to gather money and food immediately, and recruit troops to go north to deal with the Huns."
"The things you said can't quench your thirst at a distance, it's all nonsense."
"If there is no good solution, please withdraw from the court."
Li Si's eyes turned hard. He really regretted it. Before Chen Hao dealt with Mr. Fusu, he just watched with cold eyes.
Now, he finally discovered that Chen Hao was like a catfish, who could make the entire palace jump in seconds.
He, Li Si, had to make a move.
Meng Tian, on the other hand, secretly sweated.
He found that today's court was very strange, people from the two factions even faintly united to deal with his brother Chen Xian.
Meng Tian hesitated to speak, but Chen Hao violated a big taboo in court.
Unless you have the kung fu of turning clouds and rain, you will definitely not be able to survive this storm safely.
Just when the general was thinking about whether to speak up to smooth things over for this charming girl.
Chen Hao, however, smiled lightly and said, "Prime Minister Li, don't worry, okay? I also have Jinshui, just to see if everyone is willing to share the pie."
All the ministers looked at Chen Hao with disbelief in their eyes.
But at this moment, a line of reminders appeared in Chen Hao's eyes.
