Great Wei scholar

"Ten thousand taels, that's fine."

When Gu Yan opened his mouth, it was equivalent to doubling his income, so that's fine.

But Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded again.

"Master Gu, I still have to remind you that this kind of situation can only last for about a year, and it is estimated that it will become less and less every year in the future."

Xu Qingxiao picked up the teapot by herself and poured herself a cup of tea.

"It will decrease? Why? Is it those fan merchants?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan immediately became angry.

"No."

"It's still the same sentence, the people have no money, and this kind of thing won't last long."

"Let me tell you this, my lord, the people's income is not high, so naturally they won't buy expensive things."

"So, according to the budget of the lower officials, the income may be increased by 7000 million taels in the first year, 5000 million taels in the second year, 3000 million taels in the third year, 500 million taels in the fourth year, and only [-] taels in the fifth year. Ten thousand taels."

"Of course the good news is that this 500 million taels can last for a long time."

Xu Qingxiao laughed.

But he said with a smile, Gu Yan couldn't laugh.

How do you lose more and less?

Thirteen million taels?

What about money?

It was 500 million taels before, then [-] million taels, and now [-] million taels directly?

I didn't play with you like this.

"Shouren, did you come here on purpose today to disgust this old man?"

Gu Yan felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing the silver tael decrease little by little, why didn't he feel uncomfortable?

"Master Gu, what you said."

"However, Mr. Gu, let me ask you a question, do you want Wei's tax revenue to increase to [-] million taels a year? Or even [-] million taels? One hundred million taels?"

When talking about this, Xu Qingxiao became extremely serious.

Seeing Xu Qingxiao's seriousness, Gu Yan immediately perked up, stood up excitedly and said!

"One hundred thousand taels?"

"Shouren, are you serious?"

"I'm not greedy, I'll be happy if I have [-] million a year."

"Shouren, if you can achieve fifty million taels, you can take this position."

Hubu Shangshu Gu Yan was completely shocked, he stood up, his excited fingers trembling again.

If someone said five thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels in front of him, he would definitely slap him.

But Xu Qingxiao is different.

This guy is no ordinary person.

"it is good!"

"Master Gu, Qingxiao can assure you that as long as Mr. Gu listens to the officials, it will only take one year for the Wei treasury to increase to [-] million taels. Within two years, it will break through [-] million taels. Within three years If it breaks [-] million taels, there is at least [-]% certainty in five years that it will increase to [-] million taels."

Xu Qingxiao said very seriously.

He is not joking, but serious.

Because he still has a few big killing moves that are useless.

"Within five years! [-]% sure! One hundred million taels?"

Gu Yan swallowed, and looked at Xu Qingxiao, his eyes were extremely excited, but he still had some doubts.

One hundred thousand taels.

What is this concept?During the heyday of the Great Wei Dynasty, in the most prosperous year, there were 20 taels of silver.

Now Xu Qingxiao dares to say that he can earn 12 taels?Who dares to believe this?

He paid more attention to it, but this was outrageous.

"Shouren, what you say is unsubstantiated, you must at least present evidence that can convince me, right?"

Gu Yan said so.

He saw that Xu Qingxiao was too serious, and he couldn't believe it, but he really couldn't believe it.

"Two o'clock."

Xu Qingxiao stretched out her finger, and then said with a firm expression.

"First! Your Majesty promotes the waterwheel project. I built this thing. It can double the grain production of Dawei or even more. Suppressing the Northern Expedition, Mr. Gu wins two birds with one stone."

"Second! Master Gu, I prepared four knives, the first one fell on Fan Shang, and the second one, I can tell you bluntly, it fell on an ordinary businessman in Dawei. If it falls, the people will be angry and the people will be angry, and the people will be bewitched by then."

"However, if the waterwheel project is successful, the grain output of the Wei Dynasty doubles, and the people at the bottom are happy with the harvest, do we still worry about people's resentment and upheaval?"

"If we can really stabilize the situation, then I think Mr. Gu should be able to guess one or two of the third knife and the fourth knife, right?"

When Xu Qingxiao said this, he stopped talking.

After Gu Yan heard this, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

He knew that Xu Qingxiao's attack on Fanshang was just the beginning, but he also knew that Xu Qingxiao would keep a knife, but the time was not right now.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qingxiao actually prepared four knives.

And one by one is more ruthless.

However, what shocked him the most was that the waterwheel project was actually built by Xu Qingxiao, and Xu Qingxiao dared to guarantee that the grain production of the Great Wei would double. This taxation is an important part, but the people's support is even more important.

If the people in the world are happy with the harvest, then the second knife, the third knife, and even the fourth knife will fall.

This group of people must not dare to turn their faces, because the hearts of the people are stable, and the people are full of food and drink. Who will rebel with you?

hiss!

high!

high!

high!

Xu Qingxiao is really as resourceful as a monster. Since entering Beijing, he has prepared these four knives, and he has also planned a way out. This son is really a monster.

But just when Gu Yan was still a little vacillating.

Xu Qingxiao's voice sounded again.

"Master Gu! If the people in the world can eat and drink enough, the grain production of Great Wei will double, and the population will also increase. After 20 years, Great Wei will usher in a truly prosperous world again. As long as the grain production is doubled, many Everything is affected by it.”

"When people have money, they will spend it, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will be able to collect it. With the fluctuations, the treasury will only have more and more silver taels."

"Fan merchants will also receive more and more taxes."

"Not to mention, if the last three knives fall, we can make more money."

When Xu Qingxiao said this, he stopped talking, because everything that should be said has been said. If the Minister of the Ministry of Households still refuses to agree, he turned and left, went to the emperor, asked the emperor to curse a few words, and went home to sleep.

It turns out.

Gu Yan's heart was moved.

I was completely moved.

The impact of the waterwheel project and the doubling of grain production is indeed not just as simple as taxation, but also has various benefits.

When the common people are rich, fan merchants can also make money, and the revenue of the treasury can also increase. Everyone wins.

In addition, Fanshang is just Xu Qingxiao's first knife, and he can continue to use knives after that.

If the national treasury is really out of money, if something really happens, the big deal is to use the second knife in advance.

If all goes according to plan.

Within a year, the treasury will receive [-] million taels of tax revenue.

Within two years, the treasury will receive [-] million taels of tax revenue.

Within three years, the treasury will receive [-] million taels of tax revenue.

Within five years, the treasury will receive one hundred million taels of tax revenue.

hiss!

If this is the case, wouldn't he be able to look at people with his nostrils in the future?

What bullshit Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of War.

Does the Ministry of Industry dare to kill me?I snap, 1000 million taels will be given to the Ministry of Rites, but I won’t give it to you.

Do you dare to murder me from the Ministry of Criminal Justice?I slapped it, and gave 1000 million taels to the official department, you are disgusting.

At that time, the officials of the five ministries must not curry favor with themselves?Crying and yelling for money?

After a lifetime of suffering, you must be happy, right?

"Shouren!"

"The old man believes in you!"

"Those who don't care about money or not will think you are reliable."

"Waterwheel project, old man, agreed."

At this point, Gu Yan stopped being hypocritical and agreed directly.

It can increase grain production, increase national taxes, and promote economic development. This waterwheel is really a good thing.

"Master Gu is wise."

"Then the officer will leave first."

Xu Qingxiao didn't say any more, the task was completed, and then went to the next house.

"Okay, Shouren, be careful on the road, take this bag of tea and drink it at home."

"I'll see you off."

"Shouren, go slowly."

"Be careful and safe."

Gu Yan enthusiastically sent Xu Qingxiao to the gate of the household department, then turned back and sat in the room.

For some reason, he was in a very good mood.

I glanced at the memorial on the table and threw it away.

Another glance at the waterwheel map.

Oops, this is such a baby.

"Let me just say, this thing must be a good thing."

"The person who invented this thing is really extremely intelligent. Shouren, Shouren, you are really smart."

"This Li Yanlong is really not a thing. You didn't make it, so you have to show it off."

"This thing that was almost killed will not be seen in the world."

"Li Yanlong, trash!"

In the room, Gu Yan looked at the picture of the waterwheel, laughed out loud from time to time, and occasionally scolded Li Yanlong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and the old clapper.

The household affairs are settled.

Xu Qingxiao went straight to the Ministry of Punishment.

Coming to the Ministry of Criminal Justice is much more straightforward. After all, the most troublesome source of the waterwheel project is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the military attache group?

When Xu Qingxiao came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all the members of the Ministry of Criminal Justice greeted him enthusiastically, without reporting anything, Xu Qingxiao directly pushed open the door of Zhang Jing's room.
