Daqin: Integrate ten times Lu Bu's combat power at the start

How sad this must be is beyond imagination.

Chapter 0125 Nationalization of Private Salt: Li Si Establishes the Salt Affairs Department

The Hall of Mental Cultivation!

After Su Chen bowed, he sat back on the main seat, and then, looking at the officials present, the middle finger of his right hand was on the armrest of the chair, tapping continuously, making a series of clicking sounds.

Right now he's thinking...

A group of officials are patiently waiting for Fusu's next instructions. Now that the anti-corruption work has been implemented, they have a vague feeling that Fusu must have other orders.

At least Li Si thought so.

Feng Quji, as Fusu's teacher, looked at Fusu becoming more and more mature, and I was very relieved. He has been in the officialdom for 40 years and has experienced too much. He is not as superficial as others. He can Analyze things objectively.

At least he never felt that Fusu's package of actions these days was cruel and cold-blooded, but he thought that this should be the killing and decisiveness of an imperial prince.

This kind of Fusu actually has some shadows of the first emperor.

The Great Qin Empire can be regarded as a successor.

Second is stable.

This is a good thing.

Feng Quji has been following the first emperor for decades. He watched the first emperor from birth to proclaiming himself emperor, and even followed the first emperor to sweep Liuhe, destroy six kingdoms, unify nine continents, and establish the vast Great Qin Empire today.

This is really too mighty.

First Emperor!

The eternal emperor!

Deserved!

"Uh!"

"There is one more thing that must be settled today."

"This is about the livelihood of the people in the empire. Now the court is short of money and food."

"A total of 500 million gold was spent on the military pay for the war in the North, and it has now been brought to the border by Meng Tian. You all know that the money is currently being paid by my East Palace."

"I said that this sum of money must be earned back within a year."

"It's my hard-earned money."

"Do you understand?"

"Well, Li Si, you are in charge of this work, what can you do now?"

"Increase the income of the court from the face of it."

Su Chen said.

This incompetent family doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Only after Su Chen became the prince of Jian Guo did he realize how poor the court is now.

As soon as he got on the horse, he bled a sum of 500 million taels of gold.

This was done at his own expense, and thinking about it now is still painful. If these problems are not resolved in time, the court will have problems sooner or later.

"Your Highness!"

"This minister is also a clever woman who can't live without rice. The income of the empire is limited, but there are too many major projects in the empire now."

"The Great Wall of the North is to be built."

"A Fang Palace!"

"The straight roads and fast roads across the country are also very expensive, and they need about 500 million taels of silver every year."

"There is also the construction of His Majesty's Mausoleum on Mount Li."

"Military spending everywhere!"

"Especially in the past two years, the country's harvest has not been very good, so the tax has plummeted, and the current financial situation of the empire is really not optimistic."

"How is this good?"

Lis said.

Today's Qinzhidao and Chidao have a total of eight roads, namely: Western Road, Qinzhidao, Shangjun Road, Linjin Road, Dongfang Road, Binhai Road, Wuguan Road, and Qin Plank Road. Among these eight roads, Qin Zhidao is excluded. Except for the main military passage, the rest are the earliest "national roads" in history.

These eight "national highways" require a lot of investment every year, and these require a huge investment of manpower and property.

In the "Hanshu", there is such a record: Qin Wei traveled the world, poor Yan Qi in the east, Wu Chu in the Antarctic, above the rivers and lakes, and the view of the Binhai is complete.The road is fifty steps wide, and the tree is three feet long. The outside is thickly built, hidden with golden vertebrae, and the tree is covered with green pine.

"Li Si, do you have any good ideas?"

"Aren't there any other related operations in terms of taxation?"

"As land taxes and land rents decrease, are other incomes also decreasing?"

"I don't believe it."

"What's more, if you Li Si's ability can't help you, it would be a strange thing."

"speak!"

Su Chen said.

"Your Highness is wise!"

"The minister is collecting related taxes for the ocean shipping business, and is working on the establishment of the Maritime Office and the Maritime Taxation Department (referred to as: the Maritime Taxation Department)."

"Once it is completed, it is believed that it can bring at least 2000 million taels of silver every year."

"Also, I have collected private salt from all over the country for official management and established the Salt Affairs Department."

"In this way, we can also earn enough taxes."

Li Si on the side said very proudly.

"Nationalization of Private Salt!"

"Not bad!"

"The idea is still very constructive."

"Li Si, you are still very competent as the leftist."

"This palace is very optimistic about you."

"come on!"

Su Chen said approvingly.

"Your Highness, this is what I should do."

"Now the work of the Maritime Affairs Office and the Maritime Taxation Department needs His Highness's support."

"With the support of His Highness, I believe that the establishment can be completed in two or three days."

"Uh!"

"this....."

"Your Highness, please relax."

"I don't have any other intentions. I just want to use Your Highness's reputation to suppress those high-ranking officials who have been resisting the law."

"They just don't pay taxes when they form a group, and they refuse to obey the management!"

"Many of these people are nobles and relatives of the emperor, and even humble officials..."

"Shame!"

Li Si on the side said humbly.

He also had the courage to make such a request, and now Fusu's name in Xianyang City is definitely more terrifying than that of the First Emperor.

People gave him the nickname: "Tyrant".

hiss!

Oh my god, Li Si's guts must be a little too big. This is clearly using His Royal Highness Fusu as a spearman, which is quite a bit like pretending to be a tiger.

Sun Qinian and the others looked at Su Chen with some apprehension. They were ready to be punished. In their opinion, Su Chen would be furious after hearing these words. For the coming storm.

"you?!"

"I......"

"Li Si, you are doing well."

"I believe you are the only one who dares to speak to me like this."

"rest assured!"

"I agree with this matter."

"I'm going to stand for you!"

"Whenever you need me to come forward, I will help you. As long as it is beneficial to the empire, I will do my best to support it."

"It's not just you, but you are all the same. If there are any measures that benefit the country and the people that need my help, I will be duty-bound to give money to people and give people to people."

"However, there is one thing that must not be done. This is transgressing the law. If someone violates the laws of Qin, this Palace will deal with it according to the law and not follow personal circumstances."

"Understand?"

Su Chen said.

He didn't blame Li Si, because Li Si's actions were beneficial to his family and country, and he had no reason to convict him.

Haiwu Yamen!

Sea tax department!

Salt Department!

Each and every one of them was an extremely advanced idea, so Su Chen had to look at Li Si with admiration. In history, during the Sand Dune Coup, for the sake of power, Li Si and Zhao Gao joined forces to correct false edicts, kill Fusu, and establish Hu Hai as emperor. .

Such a method not only failed to preserve his power, but even lost his life later on.

The Li family is all dead.

sad!

Sigh!

Looking at Li Si's ability now, Su Chen had to admit that Emperor Shihuang trusted Li Si for more than [-] years, which was because he saw Li Si's ability.

History has also proved that Emperor Shihuang's reuse is correct.

Whether it was when the first emperor was in charge, or in the later unification war of destroying the six kingdoms, or after he unified the world, Li Si's various abilities as a prime minister were extremely outstanding.

He really has amazing talents.

"promise!"

Li Si was very happy.

Now, after getting Fusu's support, he believes that the series of troubles in the Haiwu Yamen will no longer be a problem, and soon those stubborn dignitaries and royal relatives will choose to bow their heads.

Once down.

They will obediently pay taxes.

Once the taxation of the maritime yamen starts, the current dire financial situation of the empire will be greatly improved. At that time, it will be able to get the approval of civil and military officials and His Majesty. At that time, these so-called dignitaries will

"you?!"

"I......"

"what's going on?"

"How did the plot develop to such a point?"

"This is too unexpected."

"This... am I sure I'm not dazzled?"

"Your Highness, what does this mean? I can't understand why. Now I am confused..."

"What do you mean His Highness will support all good things that are beneficial to the empire? What are these words talking about?"
