Chapter 117 Can't lose the people's hearts

Zhu Laosi's face turned blue and red. After a long time, he let out a breath and gestured with a finger: "I will add another five million taels and get ten million taels."

Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty!"

This time, Xia Yuanji truly thanked Zhu Laosi that no one's family had a hard time. The national treasury was empty and the expenditure of the treasury was not small. It was an unexpected surprise that he could get out of tens of millions of taels.

After thanking Zhu Laosi, Xia Yuanji turned his eyes to Yang Shaofeng again, stroked his beard and laughed: "What other ideas do you have in the 1st century? Can you tell me all of them?"

Yang Shaofeng shook his head, pointed to the pile of vegetables, pots and spoons in the kitchen and said, "There is nothing to say. Your Majesty asked me to cook, so I will cook honestly. As the saying goes, I am not in my position and do not do the right thing. These things still require an old and serious official like Xiabutang to preside over the presidency."

Xia Yuanji laughed and said sarcastically: "Old traitors are so slick? Is old and not dead? Anyway, you, Yang Zhuangyuan, have never said anything good, and the Master Hall is not as good as you. However, in the border city, the Master Hall has allocated you 100,000 taels of silver. Now what you say is disheartening?"

Xia Yuanji didn't mention the 100,000 taels of silver. When he mentioned the 100,000 taels of silver allocated to the border city, Yang Shaofeng jumped and scolded: "Old Xia! 100,000 taels? Thank you for your courage, I have no shame to tell others that in order to support the construction of the border city, my Minister of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty specially allocated 100,000 taels of silver! Oh!"

When Xia Laoxiao was called to her face, Xia Yuanji's face suddenly became a little uneasy and said with a gloomy face: "If you don't give me an explanation today, I will be involved in your Yang Dianmama's crime of disrespect for Shangguan!"

Turning back to look at Zhu Laosi, seeing Zhu Laosi looking quietly waiting to watch a show, Yang Shaofeng sneered and said, "100,000 taels? This money is given to the people of the people. Even a family of five is probably enough to eat for several lifetimes, and there are indeed a lot of them.

But what can I do if this 1020,000 yuan is put on the construction of a giant city? Even the materials are not enough, not to mention other messy expenses? People don’t need food? People don’t need wages? You, Mr. Xia, didn’t get me a few hundred thousand corvee service!"

After slandering, Mr. Xia sneered a few words, Yang Shaofeng simply looked at Zhu Laosi pitifully and said, "Your Majesty, I am in the border city, and the artificial reliance on the Tatars and Oirats who are fooling me. The bricks, stones, cement and other things I need were also burned by me. If I hadn't reselling cement bricks, stones and coal while building the city, the 100,000 taels of silver he gave me would have been empty! Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me!"

Xia Yuanji said with an old face red, "One hundred thousand taels is not enough. The national alarm is empty enough to run away from the mice. Besides, the real money and silver collected by the national treasury is not much, and most of them are still those treasure money. According to your statement, it is hard to go to the toilet, otherwise I will give you 100,000 coins?"

Yang Shaofeng snorted and cursed: "You think this is going to Yangzhou! You have 100,000 yuan! I snatch!"

Zhu Laosi lowered his face and scolded: "Why are you talking to Xia Butang? A bastard, relying on his childhood, he talks nonsense. I think you deserve a beating!"

Yang Shaofeng lowered his head and didn't say anything, but Xia Yuanji felt that he was sitting on wax. The emperor said that Yang Shaofeng was young and could he still have a child?

But if this child is placed among the people, he is already a father, okay?

It was obvious that he had suffered a grievance, but now he had to smooth things over for the Yang surnamed Yang. After cursing in his heart that pigs and sheep were not real people, Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Yang Zhuangyuan is a little young and energetic after all, so how could he care about him?"

Seeing that Xia Yuanji had not forgotten to squeeze him out at this time, Yang Shaofeng immediately sneered: "If you are not angry, do you still call him a young man?"

After choking Xia Yuanji, Yang Shaofeng continued: "Let the people pay 70% of the tax on treasures and collect a few batches of treasures, it is nothing more than just strengthening the people's confidence in treasures and reducing the number of treasures in the people. However, Xia Butang thinks that this is really what can the treasures be circulated?

If the treasure banknote cannot be circulated, what is the difference between it and paper? On the contrary, the decrease in the number of treasure banknotes will cause the tightness of gold and silver on the market, which will further increase the purchasing power of silver and copper plates, and then form a shortage of money."

After Yang Shaofeng said this, Xia Yuanji didn't care about anything unhappy. Even Yang Shaofeng's just now had to throw himself aside and a few words to run aside. What is it? It can solve the problem of the treasury being empty and running rats. Then Yang Zhuangyuan is a talent that can be made~

He chuckled awkwardly, and Xia Yuanji bowed to Yang Shaofeng and said, "I hope the top scholar will give you advice!"

Yang Shaofeng laughed and said, "In the final analysis, it is still the credit issue of Baochao, and the perfume I have made is prepared for this."

Xia Yuanji did not speak up and just planned to hear what else Yang Dianmai could say later. If it weren't for making money like Shenxianzui, it was probably just to please the woman and had a big relationship with Baochao!

Yang Shaofeng paced back and forth a few steps and said carefully: "For example, if the salt banknote method mentioned just now, if the Salt Transportation Department transports the salt to various places and then lets the people buy it with the treasure banknotes, then the people will naturally like the treasure banknotes, and of course, they just like it.

Because the biggest problem now is that Baochao is basically useless except for taxation and salt. Once there is more, it will basically not be spent.

However, with perfume and immortals, this situation may change a little.

For example, if Shenxianzui and perfume are allowed to purchase Baochao, then many people will come to buy Shenxianzui and perfume with Baochao. If Zuixianlou is allowed to settle the bill with Baochao in a one-to-one ratio, then there will be another way to use Baochao. Of course, the Ministry of Revenue can only recycle these Baochao in a one-to-one ratio, otherwise this thing will be all from my house, and it will be useless for me to hold it.

In the final analysis, we should find a place for Baochao to play its due role, rather than just being used to pay taxes and buy salt.

In addition, the most important thing is to issue treasure banknotes as much as gold and silver as you can live within your means, at least not more than half of gold and silver. Slowly, the restrictions that allow the people to exchange are relaxed, so that the people's confidence can be enhanced and the treasure banknotes can truly have the value of currency."

Before Xia Yuanji could speak, Zhu Laosi nodded and said, "Are you finished talking?"

Yang Shaofeng blinked and bowed, "Yes, I've finished talking."

With a sneer, Zhu Laosi pointed at the dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen and shouted: "I'm not leaving yet to cook the dishes. Are you planning to make me hungry?"

After scolding him a few more words, Zhu Laosi took Xia Yuanji away, leaving Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji to stare at him.

After thinking for a while, he didn't think of it. Yang Shaofeng simply turned his attention to Zhu Zhanji: "What do you mean by Your Majesty?"

Zhu Zhanji sneered and said, "You said that this thing is useless to your family, so what's the use of asking the Ministry of Revenue to reclaim it?

I also found a useful purpose for Baochao. If the people recognize Baochao, then do you still need to say this nonsense here?"

Yang Shaofeng blinked and said, "What other good methods do you have besides what I said?"

Zhu Zhanji said, "No! That's why the emperor took Xiabutang away. Otherwise, would you stay and listen to your smuggling Xiabutang?"

Shaking his head, Yang Shaofeng had no choice but to walk to the stove.

There is no good person in this emperor named Zhu!

...

Until he returned to the hall, Xia Yuanji seemed a little confused.

Yang Shaofeng was right. All the problems are only one. The people do not believe in Baochao. There is no way to spend Baochao. If these two problems are not solved, the remaining solutions are nonsense.

Otherwise, the Salt Banknotes alone had already recycled a lot of treasure banknotes, and many were recycled through taxation and other means. However, the credit and use of treasure banknotes among the people have not improved, which is already very telling.

After sighing, Xia Yuanji spoke: "Yang Zhuangyuan is indeed a talented person. If he is not too small and does not forgive others, he can really be called the prime minister."

Zhu Laosi shouted, "That bastard has always been like this. Zhan Ji and him are mixed up with him, and I don't know how much wronged he has suffered."

Xia Yuanji bowed and said, "However, I think the method Yang Zhuangyuan said is also a method. But besides the salt banknote method, I really couldn't imagine that there was anything else that must be used for treasure banknotes."

Zhu Laosi shook his head and said, "That bastard is very clear. Taking advantage of the opportunity to recycle treasure banknotes, first reduce the treasure banknotes on the market, and then find a few ways to spend treasure banknotes. Then most of the problems have been solved.

Don't worry, since this bastard has been brought up, the perfume and coal slime he has made will inevitably allow the people to buy it with treasure money."

When Xia Yuanji heard Zhu Laosi mention the perfume, he felt a little heartbroken again and bowed and said, "If the treasury really pays the money and recycles the treasure money from Yang Zhuangyuan's hand one by one, the silver in the treasury can't afford it. This treasury..."

"The treasury is so empty that the mice can run away, right?"

After saying a word from Xia Yuanji, Zhu Laosi said with a gloomy face: "In the future, all those unique to my Ming Dynasty, those who want to buy, will only be allowed to be traded with treasure money. Violators will be punished severely. Wouldn't this be a few more ways?

As for the treasury, it should be like the bastard said, living within one's means, and sending as much treasure money as gold and silver as possible. If you can't print it, you can make the people's treasure money fly all over the sky, and it will lose the people's hearts."
