The fat man who Emperor Xuan thought lived a tolerant life was now a little worried.
When he came back from the border town, he got a letter from Fu Xiaoguan from Tianji Pavilion. His worries came from this letter!
"Nangong, my son said that we should build the border city and make it a trading place between the Wu Dynasty and the Yu Dynasty... Is it necessary to do business with the Yu Dynasty? According to my wishes, we can directly Wouldn’t it be better if Yu Chao was robbed?”
Nangong Yiyu thought to himself that this master would not admit it after eating it!
"Your Majesty, do you know how much money the national inventory currently has?"
"In July last year, a dam broke in Wuyuan Prefecture, causing millions of people to suffer. His Majesty sympathized with the victims and exempted Wuyuan Prefecture from taxes for three years. He also allocated more than 20 million taels of silver for disaster relief and dam construction. ”
"Your Majesty immigrated another 400,000 yuan to the six states of Beixiao, which cost another tens of millions of taels of silver."
"Since last year, we have never stopped building roads. In just one year, we have spent 40 million taels of silver!"
"These expenditures alone amount to more than 70 million taels, and the Wu Dynasty's annual income is only 30 million taels... Your Majesty, there are only more than 20 million taels left in the national inventory. If we fight the Yu Dynasty now, I'm just afraid that the treasury will be empty immediately. What if there is some kind of natural disaster? How will we live this life?"
Fu Daguan's eyes widened, "Is there just this little money left?"
Nangong Yiyu spread his hands, "Otherwise, let's ask Meng Changping, the Minister of Household Affairs, to come and ask."
Fu Daguan frowned, "How about... we stop building the road?"
Nangong Yiyu waved his hand quickly, "This road construction must not stop. Your Majesty, look, our trip from Jinguan City to Guanyun City originally took half a month, but now it only takes seven days, which has been shortened significantly. Half! ”
"According to the national road network planned by His Highness, the East-West Avenue and the North-South Trunk Road must be built. His Highness has clarified its significance in detail in the planning book. Now the people are very supportive of this, and I think it is beneficial. A good thing that benefits the country and the people.”
The fat man is very depressed. If this road network is completed, according to the budget of the Ministry of Works, it will require a full 1.5 billion taels of silver!
The Wu Dynasty’s annual tax revenue was only 30 million, and if there was no major event, the remaining balance would only be 10 million taels. This requires saving for 150 years...!
Thinking of this, he took a breath, "Wouldn't it take several generations to complete this thing?"
"Didn't His Highness say it? This is a great cause that will benefit the present and the future,"
Nangong Yiyu paused, glanced at Fu Daguan, and whispered: "I thought that after His Highness returned to the country, this journey would only take ten or eight years to complete."
When Officer Fu heard this, he was furious: "You mean I can't make money?"
Nangong Yiyu chuckled, "Why don't you earn some money and show me?"
Fu Daguan blew his beard and stared, but he was like a deflated rubber ball, and even his voice was a little weaker.
"As for the matter in the city over there, just do what my son said?"
"Of course, once this trade is launched, the toll station at Qishan Pass will be profitable!"
"This toll station needs more work."
"No, you have to follow the rules set by His Highness."
"..."
Okay, I am the acting emperor!
"You said that my son turned the desert country into an autonomous region. What is the meaning of this thing?"
"I think this is His Highness running the autonomous region with the lowest cost. You see, His Highness did not ask us for a tael of silver, nor did he ask us for a person. His method of recruiting people to control the famine is very clever. We came here to stabilize the autonomous region, so here we come..."
Nangong Yiyu had a profound look on his face, "That place was once a country after all, with a lot of people and resources!"
Fu Daguan's eyes lit up, "It's all silver?"
"Of course!"
……
……
All Fu Xiaoguan saw was money.
Next, he issued several executive orders through the governor of the autonomous region, Tuoba Kang:
One: Build another city in the blue flag territory!
The scale of this city is actually designed to be larger than the state capital of Blue Flag State!
Of course you need people to build a city. Aren’t there many people in the autonomous region who have no food to eat? Come to Blue Flag State for construction! There is food to eat here and wages to be paid.
The wages are not much, ten cents a day, but for those desolate people who have lost their cattle, sheep and food and are about to starve to death, they are very happy as long as they take care of the food, let alone wages. .
Second, a salt farm will be built in Muyang County, Qingqi Prefecture, which requires the recruitment of 10,000 workers, who will also take care of the food and earn the same ten cents a day.
Thirdly, the expansion of Huangqizhou’s mines requires the recruitment of 300,000 workers.
Fourthly, in order to facilitate the exchanges between the states in the autonomous region and Yuxiu City, it is necessary to recruit three million workers to build six roads directly to the state capitals with Yuxiu City as the center!
Tuoba Feng looked at Fu Xiaoguan's administrative order in shock. After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "You've lost all the money in the treasury right now!"
"Silver is money only when it is spent. What is the difference between keeping it in the treasury and scrap metal?"
Tuoba Feng was startled, "Aren't you worried that when there is an urgent need, such as quelling a rebellion, how can soldiers and horses do it without money?"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed and said, "Don't you think about it the other way around? If these money is thrown away, those barren people will have something to do, food to eat, and wages to pay. Why should they mess up? They don't mess up. Wouldn’t this money be saved to quell the chaos?”
"What's more...even if there is chaos, under such measures, it will only be a small chaos, Lao Tuo, it will not change the world!"
When Tuoba Feng heard this, he was silent for a long time and mentally agreed with Fu Xiaoguan's statement.
"Are you serious about leaving the Salt and Iron Division to me?"
"Remember, my principle in employing people is to use them without suspicion. Then you have to get busy. The salt farm is the top priority! I have written to you the method of making salt in detail. Follow my method The refined salt will be the best salt in the world..."
Fu Xiaoguan stood up as he spoke, "Don't look at me suspiciously, you will know when the time comes. The price of this salt is 500 Wen per catty. Remember, no matter how popular it is, it will only sell for 500 Wen. ! ”
Tuoba Feng was confused, "Since you said this salt is the best in the world, why do you only sell it at the price of green salt?"
Fu Xiaoguan raised his eyebrows and said, "Do as I say, and you will know it later."
"In addition, after deducting expenses, the autonomous region will keep half of the money from selling salt, and the remaining half will be given to the national treasury, that is, sent to Guanyun City. The iron should not be sold, and the autonomous region firearms bureau must be rebuilt."
"How many people are needed for the Salt and Iron Envoys under the Salt and Iron Department? You can ask Tuoba Kang directly. But the finance of the Salt and Iron Department...that is, the person who manages the accounts, I will arrange for this person."
After Fu Xiaoguan explained everything in detail, Tuoba Feng left Yuxiu City in confusion.
Fu Xiaoguan was silent for a long time, sat in front of the desk, and wrote a letter to Li Jindou.
Next, he has to visit the other three states.
