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

The person asking the questions was the Minister of Revenue, Xiang Zhipei, the father of Concubine Li.

As one of the few beneficiaries of the previous emperor's reforms, he was a staunch royalist at first. As time went on, Xie Shu became more powerful, and he had to compromise and pretend to obey.

When asking questions in the hall today, he saw the dawn of the royal family's rise in Qin Yaoguang and was the first to ask questions.

In public, he was the Minister of Revenue who was in charge of the national finances and was extremely sensitive to the income and expenditure of money.

He saw the most fatal spot at a glance.

According to the strategy in Qin Yaoguang's memorial, all the military equipment and food for rewarding Suojibu and recovering the Hexi Corridor would not require any additional expenditure from the Ministry of Revenue, as they could all be invested by all officials.

Of course there is no problem with dividends, everyone is happy.

What if not?

Isn't it true that everyone in the government and the country has complaints?

By then, it would even shake the foundation of Dajing's rule.

Because the people who were hurt ranged from ministers to county magistrates.

Personally, Xiang Zhipei was not targeting Qin Yaoguang, but wanted to keep the initiative in his own hands, which was much better than questioning others with ulterior motives.

Xiang Zhipei's question cooled down the heated brains of many people.

Yes, if you invest so much and fail to meet expectations or even fail to make back your money, wouldn’t that be terrible?

The hall became quiet again, and Qin Yaoguang once again became the focus of attention.

Before she could answer, the emperor said impatiently: "What kind of problem is this? Since my sister said it's okay, there must be no problem!"

Qin Yaoguang looked at him silently.

Okay, this brother may not be good at other things, but he is the best at attracting hatred.

Thank you!

Of course, she was confident, relying not only on the support of the original book's plot, but also on the fact that the Silk Road in history was not just famous in vain.

The Tang Dynasty used silk and the Ming Dynasty used tea, both adopted state monopoly to prevent large-scale smuggling.

The value of silk and tea is not static. When controlled best, one piece of silk or ten kilograms of tea can be exchanged for a high-quality horse, making a profit of dozens of times.

During the Dajing era, the salaries of officials were not entirely made of silk, but a combination of money, grain, and cloth.

Once the Hexi Corridor is recovered and the Silk Road is restored as an important channel for foreign exchanges, silk will have the function of currency, and after trade and cultural exchanges with neighboring countries, it will be able to drive overall economic prosperity.

Exporting silk and tea, and bringing back spices, glass, gems, and horses, the profits were huge.

The value of goods is realized in circulation, and the biggest risk is damage to goods: natural disasters encountered on the road, human disasters such as embezzlement within the caravan, and horse thieves and bandits on the road.

By having officials across the country invest in the company, the last two of these risks can be basically eliminated, minimizing the losses.

Unlike most of the caravans in history that were spontaneously organized by the public, what Qin Yaoguang wanted to establish was a large-scale, jointly built, monopolistic state-owned enterprise to maximize profits.

In modern society, state-owned enterprises have many drawbacks.

But in the ancient feudal autocratic system, the emperor held the power of life and death. Before those with ulterior motives tried to enrich themselves, they would inevitably consider their own weight and how many heads they could chop off.

Adding the system of collective responsibility can avoid many possibilities.

However, these are only what Qin Yaoguang knows. She has no way to tell the officials in the court and tell them that you are just in a book and it says that you can make a lot of money, so just rest assured!

It is even more impossible to say that she came from the real world and had studied history. Countless sages in history have proved that all times when the Silk Road was unobstructed and prosperous were times of peace and prosperity.

She could only present the account books of her Beirong caravan and use the profits from just two years of operation to tell everyone that this path was feasible.

The profits in the account books made all the officials jealous.

So the mutual trade is so profitable?

Taking advantage of this mood, Qin Yaoguang said with a smile: "Everyone, don't underestimate the huge profits of the caravan. In fact, the right time, right place and right people are all indispensable."

"I have enough guards, can buy high-quality goods at fair prices, and have the reputation of Prince Anle in the border town as a guarantee, so I can quickly open up the situation."

She spoke slowly, looking around as she spoke.

The implication is very clear, although the caravan can make money, this money is not something you can earn just because you want to.

Since she is doing business, naturally no one dares to deceive her or sell inferior products as good ones, but it may not be the case for others.

Besides, in the border town of Beirong, who is more famous than Yan Changqing?

It was expected that her caravan could make money, the only difference was how much.

In addition, Qin Yaoguang knew how to use people. In the capital, Shuangjiang was in charge of the purchase of various supplies, and in the border town, Su Diya was loyal in running the business. Later, Song Guanghong, who was proficient in the languages ​​of various tribes, came.

The profits shown in her account books are simply enviable.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the superiority of the identity of the eldest princess.

As long as she doesn't commit a serious mistake like in the original book, which puts her life in danger, no one dares to touch the wealth under her name.

She can show it off openly, and others can only envy her.

But now, she gives everyone a chance to make money together.

You can’t make money from the trade with Beirong, so what about the Silk Road right in front of you?

Even though we have just recovered Shazhou and have not yet made any progress, with Dajing's military strength, as long as everyone works together, won't it be just a matter of time before we recover the Hexi Corridor?

Driven by the huge profits, she believes that the whole process will only be fast and not slow.

Just like what she had seen in modern times, there was only one reason for all the unfinished construction projects - lack of money.

Once the money is in place, the speed will be amazing.

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say."

Qin Yaoguang smiled slightly and threw out the last pillar of support: "For the sake of Dajing, I can naturally go to the border town bordering Hexi and confer the title of Suojibu. However, the prerequisite is to establish the Silk Road United Commune, and then I can go there with confidence."

With the previous preparation, when she raised this point, the ministers were very receptive.

Many people are thinking: Is there such a good thing?

Not only did the princess accept this tough job, she was also able to help everyone make money!

This is like pie in the sky, there is no reason not to agree.

A few people remained rational, but after thinking it over, they could not find any reason to object.

The biggest disadvantage is that you will lose some of your investment money.

Twenty thousand shares, the largest number of shareholders are still held by the royal family, so they are not the ones who should be worried.

If you think about it this way, it’s a perfect thing.

As for the United Commune, although it is a strange thing that I have never heard of, it is just a name and is not important.

Amid the excitement among the ministers, even Xie Shu did not dare to speak out against it easily.

He had no choice but to wink at his confidant.

So someone asked, "May I ask Your Highness, since you are working for the country and the people, why do you want His Majesty to agree to your conditions first?"
