Save Datang MM

"Teacher, don't worry." Xu Ziling naturally showed some face and Wang Tong smiled and said, "I will test the proposition first, gather thousands of Confucian scholars in the square and run around the field three times, and those who rest don't need to take the test again."

"Scared?" When Baiguan heard that this is an exam, is it too simple?

"..." The Great Confucian Wang Tong and Wei Zheng looked at each other and felt that the matter was not so simple.Most of the Confucian scholars are powerless and study hard day and night in order to take the exam. Most of them are weak, let alone three laps, even one lap is probably enough.Because the large square in the center of Luoyang has expanded to tens of thousands of people celebrating, the terrain is as huge as two or three football fields, and there are probably not many Confucian scholars who can run around the field three times without rest.

"What else is there?" Xu Ziling was most reluctant to sit in the court hall and asked casually, preparing to leave the court without incident.

"My king still has the issue of tax income." Li Fucheng, Ren En and several others nodded at each other and came out again: "Wang Enshenglong, but the income from the implementation of the hundred-one tax is really small. Recently, Luoyang's business is booming, and money is privately accumulated, and there is a lot of treasury in the Chinese dynasty. The expenditure list is public welfare, education, pensions, armaments and other items that have been diverted to the [-] national treasury, although there is no profit or loss, it is not rich and cannot be well stocked."

"It's a good thing for the treasury to have money, but I don't care if I don't have money." Xu Ziling said with a chuckle, "As long as the people have money, that's the best thing. It's a good thing that all the people in the world are richer than the king. The hundred-one tax was set before It will be good to do the same in the future.”

"Actually, the rich merchants in Luoyang are grateful to Wang En for voluntarily raising taxes to repay the Celestial Dynasty." Ren En went out and played.

"It's not that this king doesn't care about other people's wealth, besides, the rich merchants in Luoyang often donate and do benevolent and charitable deeds." Xu Ziling secretly laughed and said: "Go back and tell the merchants in the Baiye Conference that as long as the founder is virtuous, rich, benevolent, and not greedy for profit, then he will become a successor." What are you afraid of being a billionaire? This king is going to evaluate those who are listed on the rich list every three or five years, encourage those who are listed continuously, and confer titles on the basis of their contribution to the people of the Celestial Dynasty."

"All the people in the hundred industry conference recommended ministers and others to petition Luoyang and Dacheng for the prosperity of the merchants, but the people in more places in the world are poor, so they would like to automatically increase the tax. My king does not need to increase the tax rate for all the merchants in the world." Li Fucheng himself is rich, of course. I'm also worried that others will point my back, because it would be unreasonable for him to pay the same tax as the peasants, even though the hundred-one tax is almost equivalent to no tax for the peasants.

"My king's compassion for the people is a blessing for all people, but there is no need to refuse merchants who donate money." Wei Zheng will naturally not let go of voluntary contributions, which is a good thing.

"My ministers also have this opinion." Zheng Shuming and Ren Meimei and other women are Chinese officials. There are not a few rich households in Xiangyang, Pengcheng, and Liangdu under their governance. Especially in Xiangyang, various preferential policies have brought countless businessmen to flood in and trade with Luoyang. Unimpeded nature is very different.Zheng Shuming came out and smiled slightly and opened his lips and said: "If my king doesn't want to make an exception, how about collecting funds for other purposes or investing to make profits?"

"So this king has a good idea." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "Because this kind of investment is safe and worry-free but the return is slow, it is called 'insurance.'"

"Please tell the officials." Li Fucheng knew that every new gadget Xu Ziling came up with would benefit the common people.

"If a businessman has a lot of money and doesn't want to accumulate money privately or make a profit in the village, he can invest in public welfare or other things because he is close to the country, so there is almost no risk. It's just a long-term investment and the income is slow." Xu Ziling said lightly: "For example, a small If the baby is born into the world, then it will suffer all kinds of hardships in its life. The power of the wealthy family may be lessened, but if the child is born in a peasant family, the hardships will be even more."

"My king's intention is that everyone contributes money to protect him for life?" Zheng Shuming asked.

"City Lord Zheng's meaning is similar, but it's not about protecting his life, but protecting his growth." Xu Ziling said with a chuckle, "This son has rice, clothes, home, family, and teachers. Even if he grows up, he can grow up smoothly even if he can't become a pillar of the country." *people. The children of the rich have no worries, why don’t they spend money, and the king’s collection can not only protect the students, but also protect the old, weak, women and children in the world? The rich will gain a good reputation in the world!”

"This plan is great." The great Confucian Wang Tong liked this kind of action that benefited the people and political affairs the most, and he had a good reputation in the world, so he praised it.

"Let's talk about rewards!" Xu Ziling nodded to signal the joyful officials to listen quietly: "There are many common people in the world but few rich households. It is difficult for the wealthy households to last for a long time. This king has decided to volunteer for the first five years, and then everyone will have a share of that." I am afraid that collecting a copper coin in one month can add up to a lot. The rich people invest in insurance every month, not only to keep themselves safe for the rest of their lives, but also to bless their children and grandchildren. If ten years later, due to business needs or urgent matters, the funds will be worthless. The less will be returned to him with interest attached. In addition, if the funds are profitable due to investment, they will also be distributed as dividends. And if there are unforeseen circumstances, people and wealth will be damaged, double or multiple compensation can be obtained to protect the family.”

"This is an act of accumulating good fortune, how about more details?" Wei Zheng also became happy when he heard it.

"The details are carefully considered and discussed by hundreds of officials." Xu Ziling tried to give an example: "Let's talk about an example for everyone to discuss. There is no limit to the amount of investment by merchants, and it is limited to a minimum of one or two silver coins per month. Farmers have a minimum of one copper coin per month. Officials can choose one of them. Apart from personal investment, they can also donate for others. For example, business A donates money to insurance for B’s family. A small number of merchants who donated money to Yi Nong’s family returned to the past. This is to accumulate blessings with the help of the rich and the poor.”

"Accumulating blessings to brighten future generations..." Li Fucheng was so grateful that he almost burst into tears. He knelt down and kowtowed overjoyed.

When the public official heard that there is such a reward for donating to the poor, if there are really outstanding people among the poor people who receive the donation, it will be beneficial to themselves and not harmful.What's more, no matter how bad it is, the principal will be recovered after more than ten years. If interest or dividends are accumulated, it is justified and earned by the state's investment. No one in the world can envy and envy.

Even if you don't have the money to donate to others and spend one or two taels of silver to save it every month, then there is no burden and you have insurance, so why not do it?

The great Confucian Wang Tong likes the most is the future academic training of his grandchildren, and there will be guarantees for their success in studying.

Although Xu Ziling himself continued to spend money to build colleges, but the state treasury will eventually run out.Moreover, the war will be more intense in the future. I am afraid that funds will be tight. If the armament is accelerated, the natural science will be reduced.Now with this strategy, it is natural and feasible to gather the strength of all people in the world to help the old, weak, women and children.

"Then the name is 'Jifu Insurance!" Xu Ziling motioned Wei Zhengdao: "Wei Gong, you and Master Wang support Finance Minister Li to carry out this matter and post it on the red list, and pay attention to declaring that everything is voluntary in the first five years..."

"Wei Zhengding will do his best to deal with this matter." Wei Zheng was overjoyed when he heard that this matter of increasing the world's reputation fell on his head.

"City Master Zheng and Guild Master Ren, you should also try this method!" Xu Ziling smiled at Zheng Shuming and Ren Meimei, "But remember to try it after a month in Luoyang and don't rush for success!"

People in Luoyang like to be lively. I heard that Huaxia's first exam was held in an open-air square. Many people made an appointment early to prepare to watch it at that time.

Confucian scholars were overjoyed when they first heard about it, but they were all terrified when someone went for a test run.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army practiced for more than ten laps every day in the large square, but few Confucian scholars could complete one lap.Of course, if the ant-footed tortoise can do it, not only the great Confucian Wang Tong and all the officials will be there, maybe the Lord of Huaxia will also watch it in person, and there may be tens of thousands of spectators. up.

And this running circle may only enroll the top ten, top fifty or top hundred. How could Mr. Xu come up with such a simple proposition? Naturally, it is impossible. There must be hidden secrets or even a trap in the middle.

The most basic point is that if the ant-footed tortoise passed even if it finished running, it would be too embarrassing to stand in front of Mr. Xu to pay homage.

Fortunately, this proposition was not implemented immediately but after ten days.

Countless Confucian scholars, over half a century old, young and strong, young with weak crowns, and even yellow-haired children, everyone runs around the square every morning.Some people thought that Mr. Xu might send someone to observe the performance of the crowd, so he just stayed at the edge of the big square all day, reading aloud or running around the venue.

The Confucian scholar who was able to run three laps was secretly happy but did not dare to relax for fear that others would be faster than him.

Some wealthy households want to become officials, although they are not candidates, they also join in the fun. They come here with their big bellies and run around the field embarrassingly, which makes the spectators burst into laughter.There are also some wealthy households who take the curve road and don’t go for a run, but provide tea, buns, etc. to Confucian scholars, which can be regarded as a small aid or pre-investment.

The big businessman with the most sense of smell Although China's political strategy has not been implemented, the red list of Jifu Insurance has already moved countless people.

No one is willing to refuse to invest money and let the lord of Huaxia do the "Jifu Insurance" and let the officials of Huaxia take care of the business for themselves. If this kind of business is not done, it is simply unreasonable. Although the return is slow, it is safe and honorable. There is no limit to the amount, and everyone can do it within their ability, and the biggest hope is that if the students they donate to or an official figure emerges from a certain family, then they will also get a piece of merit, wouldn't it be a great thing.

My son may not be outstanding and he is a poor boy, but with this "Jifu Insurance" he no longer has to worry about his future life.

If a poor family can produce one or two people who grow up to become adults, take part in the war, make military exploits, become an official, and achieve political achievements, then they will also have the title of educating people, being praised by the world, and awarded by the state.

The poor in Luoyang suddenly became popular. Many wealthy businessmen, large and small, sent people four times to ask if they would accept donations from their lords.

Many families with several children received gifts again and again. Many wealthy businessmen, especially those planning to enter politics, expressed their willingness to donate to insurance and support their livelihoods, and some even proposed certain jobs.

Almost all Confucian students taking the exam, no matter they are old, young or young, have someone to support them. These are the future hopes.

Refreshments are provided almost every day, and some people make small donations to Confucian scholars so that they can concentrate on taking the exam and sprinting with all their strength...

"I heard that Master Wang and all the officials will come here to watch Brother Cheng. You have just recovered from a serious illness and you are weak. What should you do?" Two Confucian scholars whispered under the tree and there was a fat man who was resting profusely from running. The wealthy businessman immediately came over and said, "If you two don't dislike mere mediocrity, you can prepare some medicinal food so that Mr. Cheng can recuperate as soon as possible. Then you two can do your best... Hey, I heard that Mr. Xu and the Holy King are also here to watch Woolen cloth!"

"What a pity that we are strangers to you." The thin and handsome Confucian scholar coughed twice and shook his head.

"I just elected the District Chief. Although I am young, I may be a minister in the same hall in the future. Why be polite." The fat man immediately made a seductive hint and smiled irresistibly.
