Chapter 369: It's Good to Be Young

Must be built!

When Xu Guangqi understood the achievements and significance contained in this, he immediately made up his mind to absolutely carry out this national road construction plan. The tax exemption of pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info was issued in the name of the emperor, and the merit and glory were taken away by His Majesty the emperor, and the cabinet did not have much benefit.

Of course, even if Xu Guangqi was asked to take this honor, he wouldn't dare, how could he not understand the fate of the master. But there is no risk in building the road this time, the honor contained in it is hidden, and the people do not quite understand the merit and greatness in it.

Therefore, it will not take away the hearts of the people, but the evaluation of literati and the evaluation of merit of later generations is there, and it is extremely high, and Xu Guangqi cannot see the evaluation of later generations, but he can see the evaluation of the world, and the posthumous name is defined by this evaluation when it is obtained.

The common people did not understand the meaning, but the literati absolutely understood, or as long as they were well-informed, they could definitely understand the meaning.

And road construction is a very continuous work, the emperor can't take away the honor, can only fall to the cabinet, and he, the actual cabinet chief assistant, will gain the most.

It's pie in the sky!

After having this idea, Xu Guangqi was naturally worried about the source of funds for road construction across the country, 30 million is just an approximate estimate, but no one knows how much it really wants, maybe more than this, maybe less than this. But in any case, the more well-funded it is, it's always right.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the quota supply of cement and glass alone is not enough." Xu Guangqi asked heartily, looking at his hot eyes, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt a little cold, he didn't understand, why suddenly, this Xu Ge Lao seemed to be a different person.

"That's right." Zhu Youxiao propped his hand and rubbed his chin, the fluff on the bottom was a little hard, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the beard would come out.

I'm still underage, right, this is broken, isn't it a little crazy? But when he thought of the photo he saw before the crossing, the maternity photos and wedding photos of the post-zero generation, he suddenly felt that he was nothing.

Distracted.

"Then add the consignment right of salt to it, in the past, they were all allowed to get it themselves, but this time it's a big one, and it's a ten-year permission." Zhu Youxiao said thoughtfully, but then, he reversed his decision, "It's not appropriate, in this way, after the agency fee, the price of salt will rise again, which is not in line with my strategy of reducing the price of salt to the minimum." ”

turned to the decision to overturn, Xu Guangqi was a little disappointed, the reduction of salt prices is definitely a great good governance, but from the perspective of presiding over the national road construction by himself, it seems that it is more important to ........ the reduction of salt prices.

Xu Guangqi is a typical scholar after all, and he still has the heart of worrying about the country and the people, and soon he adjusted his mentality and continued to look at the emperor who was rumored to be a little golden, hoping that he could come up with another way to make money from his mouth.

Preferably, the recipe for the court wine should be made public. Xu Guangqi thought a little viciously.

And Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes angrily when he saw Xu Guangqi like this, "Elder Xu Ge, Xu Aiqing, Master Xu, there are not many things in this small treasury, you can't just count on this, think about it yourself, what else can the cabinet get it, and get the money quickly." Haven't all the commercial taxes been promulgated for a few months, and haven't they been received at all? ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty, isn't the cabinet poor?" For the emperor's words, Xu Guangqi just blushed slightly, and he accepted it, anyway, the reform is done by your old man, and the cabinet fully cooperates, and it is very good to be able to achieve this level at this level.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was still a little unhappy, he explained, "Commercial taxes are collected in various places, but there are few businesses in many places, and they can't collect much, and the method is still being explored, and there are more misses, not to mention, Your Majesty has increased the salaries of officials so much, and now this is just making up for it." ”

"But the southern provinces are okay, after deducting the salaries to be paid, there are still more to hand in, and it will be good after a while, and the taxes will increase after a while." Xu Guangqi said with a smile.

"Then you have to worry about this matter yourself, and when the time comes, I won't lend you money to cry poverty, and there will be more things in the future, this is a big deal in terms of financial revenue, you don't have to divide the land, you can't get a dime." Zhu Youxiao glared at him, and his tone was not good.

"The old minister knows, the old minister knows, but this time the road is still to be built with the help of His Majesty. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if it could be used in exchange for the support of land division and a great deal of good governance. Xu Guangqi smiled cheekily, his posture was very low, today he is going to finalize the national road construction plan no matter what, this is definitely the greatest achievement of his life.

Moreover, unlike Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who abused the people's power and forced the people to work for free, His Majesty has abolished the tax of forced labor together with the agricultural tax, and replaced it with the method of hiring with money, which certainly increases the expenses of the empire, but there is no consequence of civil resentment, as long as there is money, you can do whatever you want.

Seeing that Lord Xu, who was the second assistant of the cabinet, was in this posture, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to say anything, but just continued to think about it to ensure the source of funds, "What about customs?" He asked again, but then, he himself vetoed, "Forget it, how long has the customs been established, and the shipping routes have not been smooth, how can there be income." ”

Thinking of customs, he thought of commerce and trade, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind, "If this is the case, the empire itself will organize merchant ships to trade with Manila, and invest the money earned in building roads." ”

Speaking of this, he thought of a rumor in Japan, I heard that the ratio of gold and silver there is very large, it seems to be forty to one, I don't want to be Ming, it has always been stable at ten to one exchange ratio.

"Also, you can also take the gold to Japan for exchange, which will have a large source of silver." As he spoke, he told the rumor he had heard in his head.

"Your Majesty...... These ......." two ideas, Xu Guangqi was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he was almost overwhelmed by His Majesty the Emperor's brain. But when you think about it, it's absolutely doable, and it's very easy. It's just that the cabinet came forward to engage in these commercial exchanges, no matter what Xu Guangqi thought, he felt panicked on his face, far more embarrassed than His Majesty's tone just now.

Thinking that the literati would give him the name of a merchant prime minister, he felt very uncomfortable, no, this pot could not be carried by himself, and he had to be lost to the emperor. Anyway, he doesn't care about such things as literati evaluation and face, and the emperor who can re-establish the inner government and make money basically doesn't care about this.

In contrast, what the emperor cares more about is the reputation among the people, which can be seen from the explicit propaganda of the Emperor of Heaven and various affordable policies.

After making up his mind in his heart, Xu Guangqi immediately began to shake off the pot, "Your Majesty, this ....... this kind of transaction, it's not appropriate for the cabinet to come forward, this is a commercial means after all." He looked embarrassed, "Those bureaucrats, you know, if you can invent the word floating, you will definitely be able to do it when it comes to purchasing goods." ”

"That's just as well." Zhu Youxiao groaned, judging from the urine nature of officials for thousands of years, this kind of thing really can't let them get involved too deeply, "In this way, let the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of the Inner Government come forward and let Wang Wenyan preside over this matter, Tiangong firms are now all over the Ming Dynasty, and he is organizing the supply of goods." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing that the emperor was willing to carry this pot, Xu Guangqi immediately sent it with a sycophant, and at the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief with confidence. Of course, he covered it up well and did not let the emperor find out.

And Zhu Youxiao didn't know that he, the number one henchman, had secretly tricked him just now.

"Hmm. In this way, the road construction plan was thus decided, with the first investment in glass and cement technology and the auction of the supply share, and then the government to invest in the shortfall until there were enough places. Zhu Youxiao set the tone.

"After you go back, you ask the Ministry of Industry to come up with a plan to see how far you want to repair, and then let Yang Lian publicize and publicize it, so that this matter can be warmed up first. By the way, don't forget to add this condition, if you want to participate, you must count the fields clearly, hand over the title deed to the local government, and get the certificate. ”

In the end, Zhu Youxiao added another point, and this point is also the most critical, otherwise how to reflect his idea of exchanging benefits. And this move is also a proof, in such a mighty situation, see who can make the most accurate choice, dare to take such a risk, the vision is not too bad, and the remaining stubborn conservative, not to say that there is no good, but certainly most of them are not good birds, and it is not a pity to die.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister is from the province." Xu Guangqi wrote down these points one by one, and immediately arranged for people to implement them after he went back. This national road construction project is very involved, and it can be regarded as a training activity, so that all the newly established institutions are familiar with their responsibilities and work processes.

When the time comes to divide the field more equally, you will not be overwhelmed.

"Okay, what's the matter, while I'm in a good state now, let's talk about it and solve it together." Zhu Youxiao looked at the sun, and it was only more than ten o'clock in the future, and it was not yet lunch time, and he happened to be dealing with some government affairs.

"Okay, Your Majesty, and this ......" Xu Guangqi took out another notebook, looking at the thick stack of notebooks in front of him, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, Are you going to die of exhaustion today.

He couldn't help but regret what he had just said. Shouldn't I regret that I'm tired?

Just as he hesitated, Liu Ruoyu suddenly ran in in a hurry, and shouted in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the slave maid saw that the queen mother and the two noble concubines were hurrying here, and her face was angry, and she threatened to clean up Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you see ......."

This news immediately shocked Zhu Youxiao, this Nima came to settle accounts after the autumn, thinking about the skills of the three women to twist the soft flesh around their waists, he suddenly panicked, "Then what are you doing in a daze, run." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao picked up the dragon robe and ran outside. Subsequently, soon after, the queen arrived with two concubines.

"What about Your Majesty?" Queen Zhang Yan asked with her teeth and claws, and the two concubines who followed her kept covering their mouths and smiling shyly.

"Gone over there." The little palace maid timidly pointed the way.

"Chase after Hongu." Zhang Yanjiao shouted, took the lead and ran back, followed by a large group of people behind her.

Xu Guangqi was at a loss at first, not understanding what was happening, but later he gradually woke up, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and sighed leisurely, "It's good to be young!" ”

Bending over, he packed up his notebook and walked towards the Wenhua Palace.
