After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

What made Xie Shu so emotional was that such a memorial to the world was actually written by a woman.

He was devastated.

At this moment, all the painstaking efforts he was so proud of were instantly reduced to ashes, and he became just a petty profit-seeking dog.

Princess Leyang's broad-mindedness made him feel inferior to her.

The ministers' curiosity reached its peak at this moment.

From the emperor's high vantage point, the scene in the hall was quite funny.

In the huge hall, a large group of ministers in court robes crowded around Xie Shu, wishing they could snatch the memorial from his hand.

There were only a few people in other places.

However, they were all a little afraid of Xie Shu and did not dare to rob him openly.

Qin Yaoguang sat quietly on the chair bestowed by the emperor, as still as a mountain, not even glancing at anyone, looking calm and composed.

Fan Shiming stepped forward and bowed to Xie Shu, saying, "Master Situ, the emperor ordered us to circulate it, please..."

He didn't finish his words, just gestured.

Xie Shu frowned and thought for a moment, then handed over the letter.

Just like how he created momentum to kidnap Qin Yaoguang and put himself on the moral high ground, Qin Yaoguang's memorial was also an open conspiracy.

You knew clearly that I was going to make a move, but it was difficult for you to resolve it.

In the memorial, Qin Yaoguang first stated the significance of sandbar to Dajing, then elaborated on its impact on the countries in the Western Regions from a geopolitical perspective, analyzed the economic value of the Hexi Corridor, and drew on the maps and military intelligence of the previous dynasty to elaborate on the economic value of the Silk Road.

This memorial is more like a business plan.

First, use detailed and reliable data to paint a big picture.

The strings of currency written in red pen on it made people's eyes light up, and they felt that huge sums of wealth were within their reach.

Then point out the difficulties and make sense, and write down what conditions, how many people, what kind of caravan, and the escort force are needed to achieve this goal.

The first step was to directly appoint Suojibu as Jiedushi, grant him the authority of a frontier official, allow him to recover Hexi in the name of Dajing, and the court would send troops to assist him.

Now that's all.

It is nothing more than a memorial with clear logic and great foresight.

The term "geopolitics" is indeed novel and unique, and its angle of explanation is even more thought-provoking, but that is a story for another time.

What made all the ministers jealous was that the memorial converted all the needed manpower and material resources into silver money of equal market value, calculated the total amount of silver money, and allowed all officials in the court to purchase shares in proportion and receive dividends at the end of the year.

Qin Yaoguang was well aware of the truth that "what is worrying is the lack of wealth and the inequality of wealth". The qualification for becoming a shareholder was limited to the imperial officials who held office. The rest of the people, no matter whether you were a royal family or a noble family, were not considered.

The detailed rules state that no matter whether the position is real or honorary, as long as one receives a salary from the court, he or she is eligible to buy one share.

If the same person holds several positions, for example Yan Changqing, who receives the salary of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Prince of Anle, as well as the honorary titles of the General of the State and the Dragon and Tiger General, he can buy four shares.

Speaking of the title of Dragon and Tiger General, it was a concession made by Xie Shu regarding the matter of Lu Yun.

He thought it was just an honorary title and he could not hold military power, so it had no practical significance. It was just a nice-sounding name.

Unexpectedly, Yan Changqing can now take advantage of the situation.

However, Qin Yaoguang did not set this condition out of selfish motives.

Rather, it is to appease powerful noble families and other prominent families, whose heads usually hold more than one position.

If you add in the family members holding positions in the court, you can buy several shares.

This share distribution plan can be purchased by anyone regardless of official rank. It takes care of the vested interest groups at the top and everyone at the bottom has a share.

In this way, even a ruined noble family, such as Marquis Boyuan, could buy a share with this title.

The censors who heard the news and reported to the emperor, the Hanlin scholars who were noble but had no other source of income, and the local county magistrates of the ninth rank could at least buy one share and participate in the dividends.

Even though it’s just a small amount, the wealth is so much that it makes people drool!

Here, Qin Yaoguang introduced the modern marketing theory of "making the cake bigger" so that everyone can make the cake bigger and stronger together.

Anyone can afford to buy shares by using their official positions. The input-output ratio is almost one to one hundred. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

However, even the throne changes, so it is impossible for court officials to remain unchanged.

There are more than 1,000 officials in the capital, plus the holders of noble titles, there are more than 3,000 officials in the capital. Adding the officials from other places, there are about 16,000 officials in the whole Dajing.

This number was obtained by Qin Yaoguang from the Ministry of Revenue.

Otherwise, why was Xie Shu so shocked when he saw this memorial? It was really too detailed.

It not only has a far-sighted vision, but also has detailed implementation plans that can be implemented.

Qin Yaoguang divided the total equity into 20,000 shares for officials to purchase and distribute dividends annually.

The remaining shares subscribed will be held by the royal family and handled flexibly.

If someone retires and returns to his hometown, the dividends for that year will be given as well as three more years of dividends as a retirement pension for his lifetime dedication.

If you lose your job due to corruption or other reasons, then it's a shame. You can forget about getting dividends for that year, and you will also be asked to pay one to ten times the amount of compensation depending on the severity of the crime.

Newly appointed officials were also offered shares from the royal family’s equity pool for him to purchase.

As for the normal promotion and demotion of officials, it will not be affected.

Even if you become a first-rank official, this official position can only invest in one share.

Even though he was demoted to a ninth-rank official, he still had a share.

It is equivalent to giving all officials a last resort and an insurance policy.

Qin Yaoguang used this method to bind all officials to the big ship of Dajing, allowing them to work for their common interests.

Even though what they get is not much, it is an additional benefit besides the salary.

And it's a clear path, there's no need to hide it.

At least, it won't hold you back.

The situation that happened during the reign of the previous emperor, where the aristocratic group headed by Xie Shu opposed reform and caused a tragedy, will never happen again.

Because there are enough officials involved, a chain of mutual checks and restraints is formed.

Even if the superior wanted to do something, he still needed his subordinates to run errands for him before he could accomplish anything.

Why is it that once a corruption case breaks out, a long list of officials is often implicated?

exactly.

Qin Yaoguang also planned to establish an inspection system for the "Silk Road" project independent of the judicial system, so as to keep power firmly within the royal family.

In the future, this inspection system will be applied to all economic crimes.

Of course, this is something.

In order to prevent officials from recalling the unpleasant events in history when eunuchs were in power, Qin Yaoguang did not mention it in the memorial at all.

Her goal is to accomplish this.

As the memorial she wrote was quickly circulated among the court officials, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly heated.

Real money and real benefits.

Except for one problem.

"Princess, can you really make so much money from this Silk Road you mentioned?"
