I'm back

Yan Qin asked: "Equivalent exchange? What can I exchange?"

Yan Yuge said: "Has Your Majesty ever considered the Imperial Merchant?"

"Imperial Merchant?"

"That's right, the former emperor emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and didn't like these people with bad money, but I want to use the imperial merchants to give them some benefits and reliance, so that these merchants are willing to work for the court."

He went on to say: "The minister said just now that the No. 1 of Dayan Merchant has a surplus of one million a year. Although he is not alone in enjoying the million, his entire family is required to contribute 40 taels in cash." Yin, in exchange for the name of the imperial merchant, he is naturally willing."

Not to mention the 40 taels of silver, in Yan Yuge's view, the benefit of the imperial merchant is that 40 taels of gold is also worth it, but since it is just beginning to be implemented, it must be considered cheaper for the first imperial merchant. Let others see the benefits in order to attract more cautious merchants.

Yan Qin tentatively asked: "You mean, you can grant him the name of an imperial merchant, let him enjoy some privileges only for scholar-bureaucrats, and then let him pay the 40 taels of silver."

Yan Yuge nodded, and said approvingly: "That's right, if you want to walk the road, you can ask the other party to donate to the court in the name of praying for Shanxidu County, but in this case, you can't just ask for 40 yuan. silver."

Rich businessmen in those places spend tens of thousands of silver at every turn to become rich. They also want practical benefits and reputation. How can there be so many advantages in the world for them to take advantage of.

In Yan Yuge's work, if others take advantage of him, he will definitely pay several times the price back in the future.

It only takes two or three days at most for those merchants to prepare 40 cash, and they can also borrow the channels of those merchants to deliver the cash from Kyoto to Shanxidu County.

As a person who has to bear tens of millions of silver every year, Yan Yuge's ambition is not just 40 silver: "A catastrophe such as an earthquake, according to my Dayan practice, is originally donated by officials, gentry and wealthy households. The three will be commended by the imperial court."

"I don't know." Like every disaster relief, the imperial court would encourage officials and wealthy private households to donate. The more donations the better, the emperor took the lead in donating, and the officials followed.But those officials are stingy when it comes to donations. Of course, they don’t dare to donate more if they have money. Make it up for yourself.

Merchants value profits, and generally don't care about the false name issued by the court unless they are in special need. Donations are not small, but if they add up, one hundred thousand silver is not bad.

Yan Yuge went on to say: "Your Majesty can start to donate the disaster money tomorrow. This time, as long as the news is released secretly, the imperial court intends to provide the number of imperial merchants. The leader can get the name of the imperial merchant. The donation period is three days. To solve the difficulties of Shanxidu County this time, the remaining money will be put into the treasury for other use."

This is a good idea. Businessmen value profits and those with vision will know that the benefits of being an imperial businessman are definitely not just a name.As a businessman, no matter how much money he makes, his status is still low. With the word "emperor", he can rely on the emperor and ask the local government to open the door for him. There is no need to pay astronomical favor fees to officials everywhere every year.

Yanqin gave them the name of imperial merchants, nothing more than taking the facilitation fees they handed over to corrupt officials into their own pockets.And only the leader can get this quota, which will definitely stimulate the fighting spirit of these businessmen, everyone wants this benefit, presumably the additional money will be more and more, definitely much higher than the clearly marked price of 40 silver each.

Yan Yuge watched the little emperor's brows and eyes gradually open, and continued: "Of course, if the emperor's business implements well, it can't just let one family enjoy this benefit. First solve the emergency of burning coal, and the follow-up matters , Rong Chen will discuss with His Majesty before deciding, what does Your Majesty think?"

"That's good." Yan Qin finally showed a slight smile on his face. The matter of the imperial merchants was already on the agenda, but because it touched the interests of some aristocratic families, it was not so easy to implement.

In the past, the purchase of this piece had always been under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the oil and water were also taken by those officials or their clansmen. He used this benefit to exchange the money in the hands of the merchant. The mutual benefit thing was met with resistance. He does too.

Perhaps it was because of the support of the regent these days, Yan Qin now has a lot of confidence, he thought in his heart, if anyone dares to stop him tomorrow, he will collect evidence and ransack that person's house!

Seeing that Yan Qin was no longer worried about the mountain and stream disaster, Yan Yuge said again: "Is there any good for me to relieve your majesty's worries?"

Yan Qin looked at him in shock: "Didn't Uncle Wang say that he eats the king's salary and takes care of the king's worries? Why are you asking for benefits from Gu?"

The regent always said such contradictory words, and he still looked very righteous. Wouldn't his face be swollen? !

Yan Yuge went on to say: "But Your Majesty still rewarded Dugu Liu so much. It makes no sense that Dugu has it, but I don't. Your Majesty is closer to me. How can you treat him well?"

"But I didn't reward Dugu Liu with anything." He struggled for a while, and came up with a good idea, "Well, Gu will reward you with the hot spring village in the west of the city. The hot spring village is worth more than Dugu Liu's small house. Much more."

Yan Yuge was silent for a while: "Your Majesty is so generous." He said the word "generous" with a bit of gnashing of teeth in it.

Yan Qin was triumphant: "It's good that Uncle Wang knows, and in the future, don't say such things as favoring one another, so as not to hurt Gu's heart." The hot spring village is now under the name of a very annoying person in Yan Qin. It does not count as ownership, but when the first emperor was alive, that person has been occupying it all the time, and the title deed of Hot Spring Zhuangzi has not been given out, but others all acquiesce that that person is the owner of Zhuangzi.

After all, he is his elder, and Yan Qin is not easy to take it back. Outsiders think that he is mean and stingy as the emperor. Now he is using it as a gift from the regent king. If the regent really wants it, then he will toss that person himself. Anyway, that person has a thick skin, and the regent is definitely thicker than the other party.

If the regent despises trouble and doesn't want to get people out, then he won't suffer.If Yan Yuge thought he was stingy, there was nothing he could do. He learned it all from him.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, since I'm going to take the lead in donating tomorrow, I'll donate the lucky money you gave me, don't you mind?" Just after accepting someone else's gift, turning around and giving it away, it won't affect much.

And in his memory, when the previous two regents were in power, although his life was not very happy, he felt that the national treasury was always full. Now that he took over the account so early, he found that there was a shortage here and there. The money is not enough at all, and it is only since he took the throne that the treasury's revenue and expenditure have improved.

Before he took charge of the government, Yan Qin was out of touch with these major political affairs. Of course, he would not be so stupid as to take all the credit for himself. The state treasury has a surplus, which is naturally the credit of the regent.

From this point of view, the first emperor thought about his son, and regardless of whether the regent would refuse to delegate power, because of the characteristics of the regent's cornucopia, at least he didn't have to worry about his lack of money. available.

With so many money-making ideas in the regent's mind, he must continue to learn from the regent, and he must empty out the knowledge of the regent.

Yan Yuge thought of the full treasury in the future, and finally showed a smile on his sad face because of the earthquake and disaster in Shanxidu County: "Since the Taifu has resigned, Uncle Wang will use these two hours to teach Gu how to let go." The way to fill the treasury.”

In fact, if you want to fill the national treasury, the fastest way is to expropriate, but what Yanqin wants to be is not a faint king, but a wise king who creates a prosperous age.

Yan Yuge said: "Your Majesty is inviting ministers to participate in the prosperity of Yan?"

Yan Qin thought for a while, then seriously replied: "It's sort of."

The regent looked at the little emperor quietly for a while, and then took the little emperor's hand: "The minister will do his best to return His Majesty a prosperous age of Yan, Haiyan Heqing."

The regent's words were sincere and serious.Yan Qin was quite uncomfortable because his hand was suddenly grabbed, but when the other party said this, he suddenly forgot to withdraw his hand.

After a long time without receiving a response from the emperor, Yan Yuge called softly, "Your Majesty?"

Yan Qin's expression just now showed that he was seriously thinking about the problem.

But at this time, shouldn't Yan Qin agree immediately? Could it be that he made a mistake, the little emperor actually doesn't want to be a wise king?

"Gu Fang was just thinking..." Yan Qin paused, and then said, "If you really do it, Gu Fang will give you some kind of reward."

Yan Yuge just had an idea and took away a hot spring village.Now he has to work hard to create a peaceful and prosperous world for him. This contribution is too great, and he is afraid that he will not be able to give this reward.

Yan Yuge really didn't expect that the little emperor was thinking about these things before. In fact, during the days when he was with the little emperor, he was always unpredictable. It was precisely because of this special that he moved Confused, every step of the way is deep.

The young man showed the same expression of serious thought, and said after a long time: "If that day comes, Your Majesty will grant me a title."
