Great Wei scholar

Ah... this!

The anger in Gu Yan's eyes disappeared instantly at this moment, replaced by shock, unparalleled shock.

The total collection of the application is 78 taels of silver.

The actual total amount received was 70 taels of silver. After all, it is normal for someone to refund the money.

But Xu Qingxiao expects to collect 100 million taels of silver as a whole this year.

What is this concept?

The current tax revenue of the Great Wei Dynasty is 20 million taels a year. Although the Great Wei Dynasty is in the most declining state, even in the heyday of the Great Wei Dynasty, the highest record is only more than [-] million taels of silver income.

Xu Qingxiao's 100 million taels is equivalent to the 100-year income of the current Great Wei, which is equal to the five-year national tax in the heyday.

This shit.

Is there too much money?

Gu Yan looked at Xu Qingxiao, and the words just now came out.

"Xu Shouren, you are really... smart."

Gu Yan's words changed, and his angry gaze instantly turned into a smile.

Incomparably thick smile ah.

100 million taels.

100 million taels.

What kind of concept is this?With this money, is Dawei afraid that he will not be able to develop?Hubu is really going to take off, and Dawei is also going to take off.

Gu Yan only felt refreshed from the beginning to the end, and his toes felt refreshed.

Hahahahaha!Hahahahaha!

Xu Shouren, you are truly an eternal talent.

Gu Yan was so excited that he couldn't help laughing, he changed his previous arrogant and domineering attitude, and replaced it with a bit...flattery.

"Shouren, have you been tired the past few days? Look at your face, how ugly you are, have you stayed up too late?"

"Why do you still drink this kind of herbal tea? Tomorrow, the old man will send someone to my house to get some Wuyi black tea, which is the top grade among the top grades."

"Shouren, it's not the old man who said you, young people, don't rely on your health, you should pay attention to rest."

Gu Yan said with a concerned face, how can there be any arrogance in the slightest.

In Shouren Academy, Hubu and some scholars looked at the room curiously, they couldn't see anything, just now when they heard Gu Yan get angry, they thought there was going to be a riot.

Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, Gu Yan stopped talking.

Could it be that he was beaten?

Impossible, no matter how courageous Xu Qingxiao is, it's impossible to do it directly, right?They were curious and very puzzled.

And in the room.

Seeing Gu Yan like this, Xu Qingxiao was really helpless.

"Gu Shangshu, you are a master Shangshu after all, a subordinate like you can't bear it."

Xu Qingxiao was a little unhappy.

I have worked so hard to make trouble here, and you are so angry when you come up, who will feel better if you let it go?

Hearing this, Gu Yan immediately realized that Xu Qingxiao had lost his temper, but he didn't feel bad at all, and laughed instead.

"Nephew Shouren, what do you call a subordinate? We are uncles and nephews. Just now, my uncle misbehaved and lost his composure. Don't worry about it."

"Hahahaha, nephew Shouren, the world says you are huge, your uncle is old, and you have a normal temper, so can't you let my uncle do it?"

Gu Yan laughed, not embarrassed at all, what's so embarrassing?

One million taels of silver, if someone said now, if you give Dawei 100 million taels, Gu Yan would do as much as kowtow to him, or even kneel down and let someone else be the secretary of the household department, this is not an exaggeration at all.

Nothing else, it's too much to give!

"Okay, Uncle Gu, let's stop playing this game, are you satisfied?"

Xu Qingxiao got up and smiled, and brought Gu Yan a stool.

"Satisfied, satisfied, this is not satisfactory."

"Shouren, you are really a great talent. This old man can tell that you are a great talent in the Ministry of Household Affairs. It's a pity that His Majesty sent you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to suffer for a month. This old Zhang Jing actually suppressed you. You, let you sit on the bench."

"What an old man."

Gu Yan smiled so much that his face was full of creases. He was really happy. One million taels was a windfall.

Especially for people like him, the miser of the household department, suddenly got 100 million taels, and all anger was extinguished.

Even now, if anyone dares to refuse to agree to official and business matters, he will directly chop with a knife.

Damn it, 100 million taels, this is a huge amount of money to Dawei, super huge amount of money.

Block people's way of wealth, such as murdering parents.

Blocking the country's wealth is like the shame of Jingcheng.

Who dares to refuse?

"Master Gu, let me tell you seriously."

"This is the current budget, 78 taels of silver, but there must be a part of it as impulsive consumption. When the money is really collected, part of it will be refunded."

"But now the eight major merchants all want a first-rank official position. I have occupied one, and I have already booked another one. I gave him a little discount, which can be regarded as setting an example and attracting more merchants to pay."

"As for the eight major merchants, there are only four places left for those who can sit on the first rank."

"If this news is made public, I can guarantee that businessmen in the world will no longer hesitate to wait and see, I'm afraid they will pay for it immediately."

"So I predict that there will be another huge increase in the next few days. If there is no accident, Dawei will finally receive 150 million taels of silver."

"It fluctuates around [-]%, not too much less, not too much more, and then you can rely on this to earn [-] million taels or [-] million taels of silver tax revenue every year, mainly depends on the development of Dawei."

"When the waterwheel project is completed, there will be food in the Wei Dynasty, and the people will have good food and clothing. There will be more and more merchants, and the economy will become better and better. Then, more and more merchants will join in."

"Master Gu, Qingxiao will ask one more question, whether to allow or not allow this road of official business!"

Xu Qingxiao explained the benefits clearly.

In the end, he even asked Gu Yan if he would allow His Majesty to open up the road of official business.

"allow!"

"Who the hell dare not allow, the old man cut him off."

However, Gu Yan stood up directly, without the slightest image of a Shangshu, and he was his mother when he opened his mouth.

It is enough to prove how excited he is.

This is not allowed?

150 million taels of silver?An annual increase of [-] taels or [-] taels means double the income.

And as the Great Wei became more and more prosperous and its income increased, isn't that good?

But after saying this, Gu Yan couldn't help but continue to speak.

"Shouren, the old man doesn't mean anything else, but to give businessmen so many benefits, isn't it a bit... not very good."

Gu Yan asked, he was just asking, when he saw the 100 million taels of silver, he had already agreed.

Let's talk about the future, just collect the money first.

"not good?"

"Master Gu, think about it."

"Businessmen in the world, especially the eight major merchants, they stand on their own hills, and now they are all ordered by the imperial court. From now on, should they listen to us, or to the people behind?"

Xu Qingxiao asked.

As soon as he said this, Gu Yan instantly understood what traps were hidden in this official business road.

Gather all the businessmen together and listen to Da Wei's command. If you want to make money, you must honestly listen to Da Wei's words.

Do not listen?Don't listen to you, don't talk about making money, just ransack the house, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is waiting to be fed, and can't wait to ransack the house every day.

This trick is wonderful, wonderful.

"Shouren, you are really smart, you are really smart."

After Gu Yan understood this, he became completely excited. He finally understood what Xu Qingxiao meant.

Money is not the main thing, the main thing is to control the group of businessmen all over the world, life and death, this is the way of kings.

Bully, bully, bully.

"Also, Mr. Gu, this priority admission, does it sound like it's unfair to the common people?"

"In other words, these businessmen, they put money into the academy, or they said that they invited people from the academy to teach them. This is also a means. I let them be admitted first, and it also establishes a state of equality for everyone."

"It's nothing more than saving them the cost of recruiting people. It seems to be of great benefit, but in fact it is like this. For example, if the descendants of the Eight Great Merchants have the talent of great Confucianism, Mr. Gu, how do you think the Eight Great Chambers of Commerce will be cultivated? "

Xu Qingxiao continued.

This point, Gu Yan understands, rich people are afraid that they won't be able to invite big shots to give them extra guidance?

There are even some businessmen who directly send their descendants to be taught by great Confucians, and then spend tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. This is also a way.

And Xu Qingxiao is nothing more than helping them save this link. Of course, if they still want to hire someone to tutor, that is their own business.

So this is not hurtful. After all, priority is given to admission, and the trap lies in the word 'priority'. Under equal circumstances, they are all the same talented people. Anyone can be admitted, based on this situation.

Didn't it mean that you are not as good as others, and then you are admitted?

Furthermore, it is still the admission of the academy, and it is not the priority of the court.

There are definitely benefits, but not as big as imagined.

"What about the title?"

Gu Yan continued to ask.

After saying this, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but speak.

"Master Gu, don't you understand this? The title must be first-class, and it must last for ten years, which is equivalent to donating one hundred thousand taels of silver to Wei, and at the same time, you have to make various contributions to give you the title. .”

"Let's not talk about whether it can be done, even if it can be done, wouldn't it be possible to produce six nobles in ten years?"

"It's not a hereditary title yet."

"Besides, how do we give this title? It's not up to our court? We don't want it if we're not from our own family. So what if we give it to someone else? Gu Shangshu, if you don't do this, you can spend a hundred thousand taels now. When the silver comes out, I promise to get you a viscount, the count is a bit difficult, but the viscount is fine."

When Xu Qingxiao said this, Gu Yan was completely enlightened.

Nice guy, nice guy, nice guy.

Xu Qingxiao has plotted everything, and the final interpretation is in Xu Qingxiao's hands, and Xu Qingxiao can do whatever he says.

If you don't agree?But you have paid the money, and I will not refund it.

As for what Xu Qingxiao said about asking him to donate one hundred thousand taels to give him a viscount, Gu Yan didn't bother to pay attention.

A viscount of one hundred thousand taels?

Buy it if you have a problem with your mind.

What does a Viscount enjoy?In addition to the normal ceremonial guards and services, there are 100 bodyguards, a hundred acres of fertile land, and a monthly salary of [-] taels of silver. What are the other benefits?

One hundred thousand taels of silver, I can't spend it all in ten lifetimes.

In this way, Gu Yan thoroughly felt that this was a trap, there was no benefit to it, but it still required bleeding.

"That's impossible."

"It's impossible for them not to notice."

Gu Yan frowned, thinking that Xu Qingxiao's method was too ruthless, logically, they should be able to find out.

But soon, Gu Yan thought of the reason.

"Checks and balances."

"Okay, Shouren, your trick is simply an unsolvable conspiracy. These benefits are aimed at ordinary businessmen. First, attract all businessmen to join."
