Great Wei scholar

The printing of copper coins is more troublesome, but the printing of treasure banknotes is very simple.

Once the national treasury is really facing a negative number, then Dawei is afraid that he will print more precious notes as soon as possible.

In this way, the most terrifying thing will come.

【inflation】

This is not a small matter, once it happened, the whole Wei Dynasty would be finished immediately, and even the gods could not save it.

The most terrifying thing about inflation is the chaos of the people. At that time, the common people will rush to buy food frantically, causing a food panic. Money will no longer be money. The chain reaction will be a crazy depreciation, and the credibility of the dynasty will plummet.

At this time, a certain vassal lord directly said that this is all the fault of the Great Wei Empress. Brothers, with a knife in hand, follow me to overthrow this ruined dynasty and rebuild a beautiful new world.

Once this is the case, the people will rebel even if they don't want to.

At that time, the real blood flowed into rivers.

Even more terrifying than the Northern Expedition.

Xu Qingxiao swallowed.

Economic wars are a hundred times more terrifying than wars. What is the purpose of wars?It is also for profit.

And once the economy collapses, even a saint is useless. After all, can a saint feed the world?

Reading and drinking northwest wind?

Xu Qingxiao didn't know if he didn't look at it. After seeing it, the whole person became a little silent.

If we say that without looking at the financial situation of the Ministry of Accounts, Xu Qingxiao believes that the problem of the Great Wei is nothing more than a little less productivity, vassal kings around the world are about to move around, and the empress's reputation as the throne is not very good.

That's it.

But after seeing it today, Xu Qingxiao finally understood why the empress wanted a military talisman.

Because... Great Wei will collapse at any time.

A dynasty with a population of 30 million will collapse at any time.

Looking at the file on the tea table, Xu Qingxiao fell into a state of silence.

This is the current treasury surplus of Wei.

360 million silver.

This money can't be moved at all. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, it will be tens of millions of taels. If something like Pingqiu Mansion happens, even 5000 to [-] million taels may not be able to solve the problem.

But natural disasters and man-made disasters happen every year. If you are lucky, there will be no major event in ten or twenty years.

If you are lucky, something big may happen this year.

And this is just a matter of disaster relief, what about national development?

It is impossible to be cautious all the time, burn incense and pray for blessings, hoping that there will be no natural or man-made disasters?And then sit at home waiting to die?

You know, a truly strong country is making progress every year.

But Da Wei regresses every year.

Last year, the treasury received 500 million taels of silver, maybe 400 million this year, and [-] million tomorrow.

Big Wei!

I can't take it anymore!

Xu Qingxiao closed her eyes, and couldn't help but echo what Zhang Jing and Zhang Shangshu said in her mind.

Tobu water is relatively deep.

The fuck is the water deeper?

This is the sea!

Bottomless!

Suddenly, Xu Qingxiao really felt a sense of powerlessness.

He knew that Dawei was facing many dangers now, but he didn't know that Dawei's problem was so terrifying.

This cannot be solved by one person alone.

This is a problem that can only be solved by the concerted efforts of all officials in the Wei Dynasty.

Otherwise, once it breaks out, it will be a great disaster.

Countless people died in vain.

The 600-year history of the Great Wei Dynasty is very likely to end here.

But... how to solve it!

Xu Qingxiao couldn't think of a way.

At this moment, Xu Qingxiao also understood why His Majesty didn't summon him immediately when he wrote An Guoce, nor did he give him the very important treatment.

because!

The security policy is not good for the present.

The Great Wei Bank was established when the country was developing extremely well, the people could eat enough, and there was still a little money on hand, so it was a magic weapon for benefiting the country.

But the common people nowadays are not exaggerated to say that they can't eat enough, but at least they don't eat very well.

It even gets worse every year, so you still expect people to save money and put it in the bank?

This is simply unreasonable.

"Yang Bao!"

Xu Qingxiao spoke again.

"Subordinates are here!"

Yang Bao rushed over immediately.

"Go to the household department and ask the people in the household department to bring all the income and expenditure files for the past ten years."

Xu Qingxiao said, if you want a solution, you must understand everything thoroughly, and understand every detail.

"Yes."

Yang Bao obeyed immediately and walked towards the Ministry of Households, but this time he learned the lesson and led people there directly.

An hour later.

Yang Bao came back with a cart, and the household department had more expenditures, hundreds of boxes, which were nearly ten years old.

The common people on the road were all amazed, and the matter also reached the ears of the Six Departments and many dignitaries.

With so many dossiers in one go, ordinary people would have to read them for several months. If Xu Qingxiao wanted to understand them, he would have to spend a year less talking?

Especially the household department, after watching Yang Bao go, laughed even more, thinking that Xu Qingxiao was completely ignorant.

The Ministry of Households is not the Ministry of Punishment.

The criminal department investigates the case, witnesses and physical evidence, just go and investigate.

The Ministry of Households is taxation, which has something to do with numbers, how much income, how much expenditure, and how much tax. These things really need to be calculated, and I don’t know how long it will take.

Many household officials are even betting on how long it will take for Xu Qingxiao to finish sorting out these files. Currently, the highest support is half a year.

As for other departments, this is also good, at least Xu Qingxiao can finally stop for half a year.

However, to Xu Qingxiao, hundreds of boxes are nothing, but the more the better, he needs to look at each item and check each item, so that he can better understand the situation of the Ministry of Households and the situation of Da Wei.

With hundreds of boxes and [-] files, Xu Qingxiao didn't dare to read them too quickly. He needed to read them carefully and use a table to count them.

At least fifteen days, not bad.

That's it, the next day.

A group of brats appeared in the school, Xu Qingxiao didn't care about it, and let the gang of brats go to plow the fields first.

That's right, farming.

Xu Qingxiao was too lazy to teach them how to read and write. There was a piece of land in the school, which was used to grow flowers and plants. It was about an acre in size, and it was just right for these brats to cultivate.

The meaning is also very simple, let them suffer first, and then teach them slowly, when the land is plowed, and when to teach the real things.

But a bunch of brats had a good time, rolling in the mud, they didn't feel disgusted.

In the room, Xu Qingxiao was reading day and night.

Fifteen days later.

Xu Qingxiao read all of the [-] files, listed all the data, and even drew a future trend map.

And when Xu Qingxiao read the [-] files, he finally understood where the money from the Wei treasury went.

Forty percent is official income, and low-level officials are extremely huge. Even if one person pays one tael a month, it is 12 taels a year. The current number of officials in Wei Dynasty is 370 million, and it was as high as more than 700 million at its peak.

Therefore, as soon as the income comes up every year, [-]% of it must be used to pay officials.

Thirty percent is military pay. When there is no war, the military pay will not be too much. After all, the salaries of soldiers are not much, and the main expenses are food and accommodation.

But once there is a war, ten million taels of silver will not be enough for half a year, and you don't know how to spend the pension alone.

The remaining [-]% is used for disaster relief and other expenses.

The last half, of which [-]% is miscellaneous expenses, normal state maintenance, for example, a certain county government needs to be repaired, for example, officials are going on business trips, including some foreign envoys, do you want rewards?Who has done good deeds and needs rewards, right?

And half of it is used to develop the country.

This is the current expenditure of Wei.

It's just... horribly poor.

Half of the national treasury is used to develop the country?Can this country prosper?

And what's the scariest bit?

It was Xu Qingxiao who came to a conclusion after reading so many files.

None of this money can be saved, the income of officials can no longer be reduced, and the military salary can be changed, but they dare not move it themselves. This involves the interests of the military officers.

Half of the disaster relief money and the like cannot be moved, this is to deal with emergencies.

You can't save on miscellaneous expenses, because there are so many things big and small, it's impossible for you not to repair the broken yamen, right?

And half of the developed countries are even more impossible to move.

The country has already been unable to develop, so this silver tael is still being used?

So in the final analysis one sentence.

It is impossible to save money if you want to save money.

Can only make money.

Even saving money will accelerate the decline of the dynasty.

Want to solve the current troubles of Da Wei.

One word.

difficult!

But no matter how difficult it was, Xu Qingxiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and start making plans.

"Empress, empress, if I settle this matter and you don't make me a king, don't blame me for treason."

Xu Qingxiao murmured to himself.

This big trouble, if it were anyone, I'm afraid he would just run away.

Xu Qingxiao also felt powerless at first, but quickly adjusted her mentality.

It doesn't matter if the problem is big.

Mainly to see what are the benefits.

If he solves this big problem by himself, the Empress will have to seal herself a throne, right?

This matter is not a joke at all, it is almost no less than when the barbarians in the north killed the capital, and he single-handedly wiped out tens of thousands of barbarians, and killed them to their lairs.

If you don't become a king, you can't justify it.

A blank sheet of paper appears.
