Please, let me be a fool

The reform method of distributing a small amount of money to an acre is, at best, barely a kind of open source.

But even this approach will cause opposition from various forces.

Therefore, it is difficult to open source.

But Zhao Lingying also believed that Song Gongwen was very capable, so maybe there was a way to solve it?

Otherwise, how could His Majesty do this?

and so.

You must be thinking too much!

For national affairs, you only need to trust His Majesty.

After thinking of all this, Zhao Lingying took a deep breath, then looked at Wei Yunyi and said, "It's Your Majesty, this concubine knows what to do."

Since His Majesty asked Song Gongwen to figure out a solution, there is no need to worry about it.

So in the next time.

The two did not continue to chat about the affairs of the court.

Zhao Lingying felt that after finally getting together with His Majesty, it was natural to take good care of it.

As for Wei Yunyi, it was because of another backstab by his brother-in-law, and now he doesn't want to talk about political affairs anymore, so as not to cause trouble.

So in the following time, the two of them had a tacit understanding and neither talked about other things.

Instead, talk about romantic nights, or interesting stories about bullying.

Until it was almost noon.

The conversation between the two ended when Wei Yunyi said that he would come to practice martial arts at night.

Of course, Zhao Lingying had no opinion on this.Now in his heart, the matter of reviewing the memorial is no longer as important as his majesty coming to the bedroom to see him, as for other things, he can not care too much.

After Wei Yunyi left Jingde Palace, he went directly to Kunshou Palace.

Now the queen has been pregnant for several months and has no one to accompany her.

I have to go to the other party's bedroom for more walks.

of course.

Lunch or something is absolutely essential.

After all, the queen's craftsmanship is indeed unmatched by anyone.

However, Wei Yunyi understands that in this regard, one cannot be too purposeful, otherwise it will be too easy for people to see.

Empress Song Youwei is still the same as before, gentle and gracious, understanding.Although she is pregnant, but with the imperial physician and maids taking care of her, it is naturally impossible for anything to happen.

He was just worried about whether his younger brother could adapt to Gaoyang, after all, the customs there, and even the food were completely different from those in the capital.

Of course, at this point.Although Wei Yunyi was angry at the backstab his brother-in-law gave him, he would not treat him badly.

So some imperial cooks have been arranged, and even some good cooks from Jingshi Restaurant.

To solve the problem of my brother-in-law's diet.

It could be considered a preference.

And after Song Youwei heard this.

Immediately I was overjoyed.

Now it's that younger brother that she cares about.

Even if the country was destroyed in World War I, now he is crowned champion, but in Song Youwei's eyes, he is still a child.

The other party's heart is unruly, and his thinking is very out of the ordinary. Even if he had his father's instructions before leaving, who knows what he would do?

Seeing His Majesty's concern now, she also let go of a big stone in her heart.

As for Wei Yunyi, he didn't say much about it.

Just after finishing lunch, he left directly and went to the alchemy room.

Now that the Hunyuan Pill is about to be successfully refined, although there is a little celestial master watching, I have to pay more attention.Of course, he went to Danfang for another purpose.

It is to discuss with the little celestial master about the refining of the next kind of elixir after breaking through the fifth rank of martial arts.

This is related to his martial arts cultivation base, whether he can progress as fast as before.

...

At night, the stars are bright and the moon is bright.

At the moment, it is in a hidden street in the west of the capital city.

It is still the small courtyard full of green bamboos.

Song Gongwen and Zhang Zhengming sat facing each other, both drinking tea.

The difference is that the current Grand Tutor's face is full of smiles.Perhaps it was because of various good things happening in the court recently, such as Song Hongzhi annihilated the country in the first battle, and Marquis Shenwu was in the northern border, completely resisting the attack of the grassland army.

In addition, in the coastal areas, Zhao Jiguang also made great achievements, killing [-] to [-] pirates and restoring the stability of the people in the coastal areas.

All these piles, one by one, indicate that the Great Wei Dynasty is constantly developing towards a better place.

He had a hunch in his heart that it might not be long before this continued.

Great Wei will usher in a truly prosperous age.

Now, it depends on whether Chen Xuance's mission to Tiandu can achieve his goal.

There is also the war in the northern border, which I hope will come to an end in a few months.

There is no way, the grassland has assembled 20 troops this time, and a war like this can take as short as a few months and as long as a year and a half to finish.

However, Zhang Zhengming believed in Marquis Shenwu very much, and knew that there would be no problems with this old Marquis in the northern border.

And in his heart, he has always wanted to assist His Majesty to create a prosperous world.

This dream is not far away now.

Naturally happy.

It's just that Song Gongwen, who is opposite, has a sad look on his face.

There is no way, as the Minister of the Household Department, he is in charge of the world's money and food, no matter where money is needed, it needs to go through the Household Department.

Recently, there are really too many places where the imperial court needs to use money, such as the northern border, two major projects, repairing the Taoist gate of Longhu Mountain, and other scattered places.

Now, His Majesty is going to allocate funds to the navy again to build new warships, which is another big shadow.

Even if Song Gongwen was good at financial management, he used many means to increase the income of the court.

But in the end, it was still a little bit beyond our means.

This is the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

It's really too hard to be.

"Gongwen, are you still thinking about money?" At this time, Zhang Zhengming seemed to see what the other party was thinking, and immediately smiled.

Hearing this, Song Gongwen nodded, but quickly said: "The matter of money is nothing. The students recently received a letter from Sun Kejian, saying that it is a border cross market, and it has roughly been established."

"In the northern border and Yandi, there are many aristocratic families who are ready to join in and conduct mutual trading. The initial investment of 50 taels by the household department has not only paid back its capital, but also made a lot of money."

"Now that the mutual market is established and various families participate, what the imperial court needs to do is to collect some commercial taxes."

Having said that, a little smile appeared on his face, and he continued: "So the money given to the navy can be obtained by the household department."

Sun Kejian, the queen mother's cousin, has been away from the capital for some time.

During this time, there has been no news of him.

It's because this person has been concentrating on planning things related to the border trade, and now he's on the right track.

In the future, when everything is completed and the whole country participates, the money will be the bulk of the income.

As for the imperial court, it only needs to maintain the operation of the mutual market and collect commercial taxes.

In the absence of major events, it is almost just sitting and collecting money.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming couldn't help but feel a little strange, and said, "Since the matter of Yinzi has been settled, what are you still worried about about the official documents?"

He knew that this student was extremely capable.When the tax revenue of the Ministry of Households is exhausted, it is still possible to find ways to reduce expenditures, so that a sum of money can be used to repair Longhu Mountain and navy shipbuilding.

And within a very short period of time, it can definitely be said to be powerful.

Because even if I were myself, I'm afraid it would be a headache.

But the other party can do so well.

Zhang Zhengming was very pleased.

But it seems that there are other things to worry about.

Song Gongwen naturally didn't dare to hide it, and said directly: "Teacher, you also know that although these silver students have managed to get out temporarily, it is only for emergency. Now the two most expensive projects, the canal and the straight road, have already started. It’s on the right track.”

"Two days ago, Brother Ying Xing said that it would take at least several years for these two projects to be completed."

"This also means that during this period, the Ministry of Households will continue to provide money."

"So the question now is, how can we ensure that these two projects will continue on the way without delaying other things, for example, what if His Majesty makes another decision and there are other places to spend money?"

At this moment, Song Gongwen sighed slightly, and said: "Students can temporarily solve the current money problem, but it does not mean that they can continue to do so. If there is a hole in the accounts of the account department, it will be difficult to make up for it."

"Furthermore, there is still a whole year until the next tax hike. The students are afraid that the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be able to persist."

He fully understands the embarrassment facing the court today.

The reason why it lasted so long.

It can guarantee that there are silver words in all aspects, because of the foundation and heritage laid down by the previous emperors.

But this kind of background also has a limit. If it exceeds this limit, there will definitely be a big mess.

All in all, if you want to solve it, you must have money.

Money can solve everything.

Zhang Zhengming has been the chief assistant of the cabinet for so many years, so he naturally understands the meaning.

So after hearing these words, he fell into deep thought.Today's Great Wei has deterred all countries militarily, and there is no need to worry about it at all, but money is more than satisfactory.

There is no way, now it is no longer comparable to the time when the country was established, and various methods can be used.

Now that the forces of all parties have been stabilized, it is very difficult to use other methods to get some money out.

However, after thinking for a while, he smiled, and said, "Gongwen, do you still remember the one-off government-gentry payment you proposed earlier? Now I think it's time to proceed."

"Before, because of the imperial examination, I couldn't move for the time being. In addition, the power of the gentry is very strong. If you pull it, you can move the whole body."

"But now, the imperial examination has ended, and some time ago, on the charge of Baiyimen, you confiscated a large part of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, dividing the power of the gentry."

"So now is the best opportunity to implement the integration of officials and gentry."

"Once this move is successful, it will definitely bring more taxes to the imperial court. In this way, won't these problems be easily solved?"

If officials and gentry pay food as a whole, it will be implemented.

On behalf of the Great Wei, all officials and gentry must start paying taxes to the court.

This is not a small sum. If it can be collected, it will definitely be extremely amazing.

What is the war in the north, what are the two major projects.

It's all out of the question.

Zhang Zhengming did not agree before because the time has not come.

But now, it is obviously time, whether the power of the gentry is weakened now, or the court is in urgent need of money.

He understands that even if this move is difficult to carry out, it must be carried out.

This is for His Majesty, for Wei!
