After opening the door, Jue saw that Cohen was already waiting.

"Behind you is ......" Cohen didn't greet Jue first, but looked at Ouyang Taxue behind Jue.

"Is it okay to sit in on the audit and make corrections in passing?" Jue said.

"Of course, it's your right. Cohen spread his hands and said he wouldn't interfere anymore.

Jue took Ouyang Taxue to his seat, and he asked Ouyang Taxue to stand by his side.

While seated, Jue also noticed that Cohen's eyes had been staring at Ouyang Taxue.

After Jue was in his position, he said to Cohen, who was looking at Ouyang Taxue: "I said that we are respectable Prime Minister, who else do we have to wait for?

"Ah, sorry, rude. Cohen straightened his posture after listening to Jue's words.

As soon as the executives finished their presentations, the meeting began.

As soon as they came up, the pro-king faction and the aristocratic faction engaged in an amazing war of words.

It's like you're almost throwing someone else's shoe with the sole of your shoe.

"This kind of efficiency is really low. Jue whispered what was in his heart.

"No, although it was like this before, but the posture of the past few days is a little different. Cohen said with a wry smile, "In the past, everyone would have a quarrel and then there would be a change the next day, and they would start to look for the advantages of each other's plans, and then they would merge and finally form a decision." ”

"But why do you think it's so slow now? Is it because of the king's death?"

"No, at the beginning, we made decisions quite quickly, but then something happened that led to such a low level of efficiency. ”

"Something's wrong?"

“...... This, nothing. Cohen opened his mouth, but finally said something nonsense.

Jue looked at Cohen and remembered the Cohen he had seen in the dungeon that day.

"By the way, why didn't the auxiliary magistrate come? shouldn't he come over this morning?" Jue asked.

"He knows everything, he knows everything. Cohen said this as if it had taken a great effort.

At this moment, Nuo Xiaoyi suddenly opened the door of the conference room and came in.

For a moment, the conference room fell silent.

"This is an order from the Vice-Chancellor, so please circulate it. Nuo Xiaoyi put an envelope on the table and left.

"Look, what I'm talking about, the Auxiliary Governor knows everything. Cohen's tone was stiff, as if he had been frightened.

Cohen picked up the envelope and put it in Jue's hand, saying, "Open it and take a look, you will understand." ”

After listening to Cohen's words, Jue opened the envelope.

"On the issue of the economy, I would like to hear the advice of the officials, and by the way, I hope that you will not be so tense, after all, you are here to work, not to quarrel. ”

Jue read out the contents of the letter given by the auxiliary political officer.

Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

The room is completely soundproofed, and there's an anti-snooping barrier here. So how did the assistant know what was happening?!

Jue put down the letter, and then said to Li Jiang, who was standing in the corner of the room, "Please report the current economic problems." ”

Li Jiang nodded and made a report.

During this period, Li Jiang seemed to see Ouyang stepping on the snow, but he still completed his task after a short period of surprise.

As for Ouyang Taxue, he has been avoiding Li Jiang's eyes.

"In this way, our treasury can now be considered to be out of money, and the inflation in society is very serious, so we are at a loss in the management of the state. ”

Jue thought about it for a while, and then said, "I want to ask, how many merchants do we have here now?"

Jue's words caused some laughter at first, thinking that this matter could have anything to do with the businessman's future life. But soon everyone fell silent.

They realized a serious problem, and that was how many foreign merchants there were.

Nowadays, the market prices are very expensive, and the people are very rich, so there are no people who can make money in China, but not necessarily abroad. Since the currencies within the Three Realms are unified, the current situation of Bannan will definitely trigger a large amount of wealth from foreign merchants.

If they lower the price, then the important resources and money of Bannan will circulate outward, and then Bannan will collapse from within.

If this happens, the existence of Bannan will be gone, and it will be replaced by a new country.

"In my opinion," Jue said, "we should all subject merchants to a certain amount of control, whether foreign or domestic." ”

"So what should be done?" someone asked.

"Establish a chamber of commerce system, so that every foreigner who is engaged in business here and a businessman who intends to do business outside the chamber of commerce is compulsorily joined the chamber of commerce, and ensure that a part of the tax is submitted to the chamber of commerce for every transaction. The amount of tax is determined by the size of the transaction. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce also has the right to terminate any transaction. ”

"I see, so that the country's money will not go out...... But what if someone takes a bribe to terminate a deal?" Cohen asked.

"That would create a new regulatory authority to file appeals. This would also reduce unemployment. ”

"But we don't have that much money to start a new organization. An executive officer said.

"It's okay, there is still a time lag between the emergence of a new department and the occurrence of an incident of embezzlement, so just have enough money ready in the meantime. But the problem you said is not impossible, so this matter will be controlled by us for the time being. ”

"Understood. ”

"But it's not a long-term solution, it's just a way to raise prices on our side. "Someone said.

Jue glanced at the man, he seemed to be one of the main forces of the aristocratic faction, and it seemed to be the Ji family.

Ji: It can't be Ji Yun's family, right? I heard that it seems that Ji Yun's family is a very powerful family in the south......

"It's just a way to control resources. Jue said: "If you want to make the country work, collecting taxes and collecting money from the people are indispensable means. ”

"What are your plans?"

"There are many plans, it depends on which one you choose. There are safe and fast types, which one do you want?"

"Let's talk about the fast type first. ”

"Casinos, gladiatorial arenas or brothels were opened as a way to get money from those who had more money. ”

"But this shouldn't control prices, right?" someone retorted, but this time it was the pro-king rebuttal.

"No, the people who can go to this kind of party are generally not commoners, but merchants and nobles. When they run out of money, they will naturally slightly lower the price of their goods, and once one person lowers the price, more people will compromise on the price, and then the existing high-price market will be self-defeating, and the funds in our hands will rise. ”

"Is Nash even on price?" said Cohen with a wicked grin half-reclining in his chair.

"Nash equilibrium? what's that?" Jue asked.

"Ah, a way of saying in the soul world. It's used to describe the mutual restraint in business, and what you just said is a bit like a commercial balanced price version. Cohen explained.

"So, it seems that there are some strange inventions in the soul world there. ”

"Your Excellency, what should I do with the personnel? We also have to consider the money for hiring. ”

"Don't think about it. Jue said and pointed to Ouyang Taxue behind him, "Don't you have a large number of slave prisoners? ”

Everyone was stunned for a while.

This idea is so crazy that although there is no reason to refute it, the way Jue Na should be is difficult to express the unhappiness in his heart.

At this moment, shriveled applause rang out in the conference room.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Cohen laughed and clapped.

"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" Jue asked, looking at Cohen.

"Crisp and neat! No procrastination! Handle problems by the most direct means! Jue! Your ability to handle things is really strong! The value of such an ability to handle things has never been seen before! It's wonderful!"

Cohen's applause continued for a while, and then he stopped.

"Jue, tell me, what else do you have planned?" Cohen asked.

"When it's all over, you're busy. Jue said: "In order to maintain the social atmosphere, you must get rid of what I just said. At the same time......" Jue looked around at the person sitting at the conference table again, "When purging, it must be clean, and no one can grab the handle." ”

Cohen was stunned for a moment, then patted Jue's shoulder and laughed: "Yes! You are really amazing! You have even thought about the future! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Jue smiled slightly, and then looked at the nobles with blank expressions.

At this time, he found that Ouyang Taxue behind him was pale and a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Jue asked.

"Lord, with all due respect, your plan ......"

"What? don't you like it?" Jue asked, his tone was calm, not at all angry at Ouyang Taxue's rebuttal.

"If that's the case, it's too much physical and mental harm for people like us. Men live in pain, women are worse off than dead, I don't think you should do that......"

Jue tilted his head, then said with a smile: "You can also come up with a plan." ”

"Eh, me?" Ouyang was stunned.

"That's right, it's you, and if you can come up with an alternative, I'll revoke my order. Jue said.

"Wait!Lord Jue!Are you saying you're going to adopt a woman's advice then?!" someone shouted inside.

"No, Lord Jue, I don't think a woman's suggestion is acceptable. ”

"Yes, women don't deserve to be involved in such a holy and ** national parliament. ”

Listening to the various criticisms raised by the people below, Jue just looked at them coldly.

Is there such a strong sense of male superiority and inferiority here? Even as a pro-king faction, they all oppose me?

Cohen watched all of this with an expression that looked like he was watching a play.

"Why don't you oppose me like everyone else?" Jue asked.

"Do you still use me if these people are against you?" Cohen said.

"So you're also a member of the opposition to women's involvement in politics?"

Cohen shook his head, "No, it's not sexist. ”

"In this way, you can be regarded as a breath of fresh water. ”

"That's a compliment. Cohen smiled slightly, "After all, I've seen too many things." ”

"That's it......" Jue Chang sighed, then looked at Ouyang Taxue and said: "Now you have also seen, they all agree to let women in politics, but I can give you a chance, if you can come up with a good plan, you can be your kind, if not, then I will carry out my orders." ”

Ouyang Taxue felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders for a moment.

They are all pitiful, even if they are guilty, they don't deserve to suffer like that!

The biggest problem now is the country's finances, so it is necessary to find a way to obtain money, but also to recover the money in the hands of the people within a certain limit......

How could it be? Who would give money to the state when they had nothing to do......?

Hmm, borrowing money? I think there's a saying for that......

"Or else...... Sell treasury bonds?" Ouyang Taxue whispered.

"What is that?" Jue frowned.

Cohen reacted differently from Jue, and he began to think.

"I don't think of that......

Listening to Cohen's whispering, Jue was even more interested in this national debt.

"A national debt is a bond issued with the credibility of the state, the people are the creditors of the state, and the state is the debtor. The state attracts people to invest in the state through a certain amount of stable interest. ”

Jue also fell into deep thought after hearing this. In order to persuade Ao Li to go back, he also came to Bannanguo before, and the people generally have confidence in the country, so if they really do what Ouyang Taxue said, it will not be impossible.

This Nizi can.

"Did you think about this national debt on your own?" Jue asked.

"No, I've seen it before when I was reading a book about the soul world. Ouyang Taxue said.

Jue smiled silently, he looked at the people around him and said, "Everyone, it seems that women also care about national affairs. ”

"It seems that Lord Jue is ready. The pro-king faction said.

"Well, issue Treasury bonds. Li Jiang, how to explain to the bank is up to you. ”

"Yes. ”

"But can prices be lowered in that case?" said someone else.

"Now the market in the southern part of the country needs a stone that can shake the entire price pool, and it must stir up waves!" Jue said.

"What do you want?" someone asked.

Jue looked at the people around him and said, "At this moment, I want to apply to the Council of Parliament, submit the first Chamber of Commerce agreement, and apply to become the guarantor of the chartered royal merchant of Bannanguo!"

"Hey, Jue, are you going to ......" Cohen immediately understood Jue's intentions.

"That's right, if no one is to be this stone, I will be the stone that can shake the entire market!"

The meeting is over. Cohen left Jue behind.

"I originally thought that the dragon clan sent a hairy boy to do politics, but I didn't expect to send a tiger wolf to shake the entire government, I was wrong, I underestimated you. ”

"There, I originally thought that the prime minister was an idiot, otherwise the country would not have become like this, but I didn't expect to be a reasonable person. ”

"Thank you so much. Cohen said with an embarrassed smile.

"But why do you think that such a good prime minister would make such a ridiculous decision and lead to the decadence of the whole country?"

Cohen chuckled.

"Is there someone ......?"

Cohen's smile froze for a moment.

"Maybe there have been such examples before, so can you let me go to the library? I want to check the political situation in the southern country in the past few years, and by the way, ......"

"Understood!" Cohen interrupted Jue's words suddenly, but he deeply understood what Jue's second half of the sentence was.

"I see, it looks like I'm really going to help you. Jue looked at Cohen and said.

"You're such a smart man. Cohen smiled.

Jue looked into the distance, and then said, "It seems that we still have a lot of things to do...... When the country is settled, a king will be established. ”

Cohen looked at Jue and said, "Yes, it's a long way to go......"
