Great Wei scholar

Prince Huaining was a little angry.

This is also the reason why he didn't want to cooperate with these people.

No matter what they pay, these people have never regarded themselves as their own.

What else is there to cooperate with?

How ridiculous?

"My lord calm down, please forgive me."

The other party spoke and said so.

But the meaning is very simple, if you don't give it, you don't give it.

In an instant, Prince Huaining knew what the other party meant.

He was not angry, but sank down.

After a long time.

He answered.

"Okay, my king agrees."

Prince Huaining agreed.

The latter breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled.

"My lord, don't worry, the great plan to dominate is just around the corner."

After getting a reply, the other party didn't say much, leaving a nice word, and then quietly disappeared.

And this time.

In the prison, Prince Huaining remained silent.

It was late at night.

Finally, Prince Huaining's voice sounded.

"Come here, this king wants to see Xu Qingxiao."

Chapter 272: Five Great Plans, Prince Huaining's Rebellion, King of the Second and Fifth Cubs

Inside the capital of Great Wei.

It's evening.

The feast is over, and in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, six ministers and nine princes are discussing important affairs of the country in the hall.

The empress sat on the dragon chair and looked at the crowd quietly.

"Xu Aiqing, have you really suppressed the evil thoughts in your body?"

Ji Ling opened his mouth, looked at Xu Qingxiao with concern, and asked about it.

As Ji Ling asked, Xu Qingxiao said calmly.

"Your Majesty, the subject is fine."

He answered calmly, making everyone a little relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qingxiao continued.

"Your Majesty, during the six months since I left, I personally went to the counties of the Great Wei Dynasty to investigate. Now the benefit of the waterwheel has been fully developed. In addition, your majesty has been exempted from tax for three years, and the people have enough food and clothing."

"I think the security policy can be promoted."

When Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth, he had been away for half a year.

And in the past six months, for a period of time, Xu Qingxiao went to various county government offices to see how the people were living.

Since the waterwheel was thoroughly promoted by the Great Wei one year ago, the grain harvest in the Great Wei has been abundant, and the empress has been exempted from tax for three years, and the people everywhere have enjoyed benefits.

It used to be that every household had no surplus food, but now every household has a lot of food, not only because of the benefit of the waterwheel.

Among them are the benefits brought by the improvement of the Great Wei's national fortune. There are good fields everywhere in the Great Wei, and some three-season rice has been discovered, and the grain grown is twice as much as before.

When the barren land was used, the common people of Wei Dynasty burst into laughter.

Every household has a lot of food surplus. Although the price of food has been suppressed during this period of time, this kind of thing is not too much for the people who have encountered chaos.

It can't be sold, and it's also excellent for storage.

Therefore, the current Great Wei is indeed developing at a high speed, and the people have food, which has promoted many trade exchanges.

Moreover, the population is also growing rapidly. It turned out that they did not want to have children because they had no food to feed them.

Now that there is more food, the common people have begun to make babies vigorously. There is no specific data for this, but Xu Qingxiao also estimated it for a while.

At least there are several times more newborns than before, and now for the people of Great Wei, it is not afraid that they will not be able to support them if they dare to give birth.

This is all going in a positive direction.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Qingxiao swaggered back to Dawei, because he was going to do something really big.

Let Dawei completely embark on the road to prosperity.

"I do have this intention, but I still want to listen to the opinions of your dear ministers."

The empress nodded, she agreed with Xu Qingxiao's point of view.

The An Guo Policy is a national policy written by Xu Qingxiao two years ago, but at that time, the Wei Dynasty was short of food, and the people couldn't eat enough. Where was the money stored in the bank?

It's different now, the Great Wei is thriving and can promote the security policy.

Mentioning An Guoce, Gu Yan's voice could not help but sounded.

"His Majesty."

"I also agree with Xu Wangye."

"Although Your Majesty has been exempted from tax for three years, it is only exempt from grain tax. Under such circumstances, the tax revenue of Dawei this year is as high as [-] million taels of silver."

"I have made some statistics. It is simple and rough calculation. If the grain tax is collected, the tax revenue of Da Wei will be as high as 20 taels of silver every year. This is only a conservative estimate."

"It takes another year and a half before the collection of grain tax can be started, and the national security policy can be promoted."

When it came to An Guoce, Gu Yan had something to say.

This thing is even more beneficial to the country and the people, and it can also make money for the Wei Dynasty, which is a good thing.

When all the officials heard what Gu Yan said, they couldn't help but click their tongues.

If you are not in charge, you naturally don't know the current situation of Da Wei.

How can they not click their tongues when they hear that the annual tax is 20 taels of silver?And is this a conservative estimate?

What if not conservative? 25 million taels of silver?Or 30 taels of silver?

If this is the case, the Great Wei Dynasty will be fully developed.

It can completely solve a lot of troubles. The salary adjustment of officials in the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry can all enjoy a large amount of funding.

Especially the Ministry of War, if you save for three years, you can send troops to fight.

Lay a big territory.

All of a sudden, everyone couldn't help but start looking forward to the future.

However, Xu Qingxiao shook his head.

"Everyone, silver is not the most important thing for Wei at the moment."

"The population is the most important thing. Whether it is 20 million taels of silver or 30 million taels of silver, these are not enough."

"In order for the population of Great Wei to increase sharply, we still need to vigorously promote grain production. By the date of taxation, it needs to reach 50 taels of silver a year to maintain the development of Great Wei."

Xu Qingxiao made a sound.

He didn't think that 20 million taels of silver was a lot.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that first of all, the official salary must be increased a little, otherwise, it is easy to have an unbalanced mentality.

After all, the common people have surplus food, and officials do not have salaries to support them, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have dissent.

Since ancient times, corrupt officials cannot be controlled, nor can strict laws.

There were so many officials in the Wei Dynasty, once the salaries of the officials were increased, it would cost tens of millions of taels of silver.

Then the Ministry of War also needs to spend money, which is another huge expense.

The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Etiquette, each department also needs to spend money in taels. In the past, they were poor, so these four departments did not have much money in taels. Now it is different. With money, the four departments have to support themselves.

That adds up to a huge expense.

Xu Qingxiao has settled this account during this time.

The silver taels required by the six departments add up to an annual expenditure of at least 15 taels of silver.

Of course, if 15 silver is spent, then the six films will be able to fully develop their hands and feet.

So if there are only 20 taels of silver, there will only be [-] taels of silver left in Wei's treasury.

It is almost impossible to carry out various projects.

Education, infrastructure, just these two are astronomical figures.

There are no subsidies yet. After all, if you want population growth, you must give bonus incentives.

Everything costs a lot of silver.

No, not in large quantities.

It is massive.

"50 taels of silver per year?"

"how can that be."

Everyone exclaimed, especially Gu Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, 20 taels of silver, although it is a conservative income, but if it is estimated upwards, it will be 25 taels of silver at most.

What Xu Qingxiao meant was to double his income.

This is too exaggerated.

It's almost impossible.

"It's almost impossible to achieve an annual tax of 50 taels of silver, my lord, this... is a bit difficult."

When Gu Yan opened his mouth, he looked at Xu Qingxiao.

Although he wished to reach 50 taels of silver, it was almost impossible.

Not only him, everyone showed doubts.

Sounds cool, but it's almost impossible to do.

However, they were even more aware that since Xu Qingxiao dared to speak, he naturally had his own ideas.

"Gu Shangshu, this king knows that it is almost impossible for Dawei to achieve an annual tax of 50 taels of silver."

"But please rest assured, Mr. Gu. Since Xu dared to speak, he was naturally prepared. It wasn't a temporary idea."

Xu Qingxiao explained.

Then he took out a stack of thick memorials and handed them to the empress first, and then to everyone.

This is an article written by Xu Qingxiao during his travels in Wei.

After returning from this trip, Xu Qingxiao focused on developing the national power of Great Wei.

The reason is very simple, Zhongzhou Longding.

The three magic seals in his body are related to the Yin power of heaven and earth, and he wants to suppress the Yin power.

There are many ways, such as becoming a saint, and the strongest saint, preaching and receiving karma, solving all demons, and suppressing everything.

But this method is very difficult. After all, the Twelve Demon Gods, even the saints can't solve them, they can only be said to suppress them.

Furthermore, how difficult is the holy way?Do you have that much time yourself?

The answer is obvious.
