Wang Wuyan stood in the lofty study, looked at the much brighter room, walked straight to the window, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the glass that had just been installed, "Your Majesty, what is this?" How is it transparent? ”

"It's glass, how about it, okay?" Gao Yuan raised his head triumphantly, looking at the old finance minister in front of him, who was also over sixty years old, to be honest, although this finance minister was not very likable, and often wondered how to get a little money from Gao Yuan to the treasury, but as a big steward of the country, he was really a very good guy.

"Is this something that the king has come up with again? Worth the money, right? Wang Wuyan asked.

A vigilant expression immediately appeared in Gao Yuan's eyes: "Where did I figure this out, this is a personal soldier from the past, didn't I retire from the palace later?" It was he who brought a few master craftsmen to make it, and specially presented me with a batch, the price is indeed very expensive, but this window, it costs fifty or sixty yuan! ”

"Fifty or sixty yuan, such a small piece?" The elderly Minister of Finance almost fell to the ground on his head, and he immediately withdrew his hand from reaching out to caress it. On the other side, Mei Yipo, the governor of the Central Bank, also widened his eyes with a surprised expression on his face.

"Of course, the glass installed on the windows around the perimeter of my study alone is worth thousands of dollars? How about it, Minister Wang, are you interested in installing this thing at home, you will definitely give you a discount. Gao Yuan said with a grin.

"Forget it!" Wang Wuchang waved his hand again and again, "The minister's salary, forget it, with this money, I am willing to buy more meat to eat!" Wang Wuyan shook his head again and again and laughed. But your majesty, is this really made up by that personal soldier? Ahem, this is very easy to look up. Since he has done this business, there is always a way for the minister to find out his details. ”

Gao Yuan stared at Wang Wuyan for a long time, and then said with a little embarrassment: "This, this, the cost of research is mine, but the technology is indeed theirs." ”

Wang Wuchang immediately came out with joy, "Great! He clapped his hands and laughed.

"Good what?" Gao Yuan asked as he glared at him.

"I'll send someone to take a look when I go back, since it's the king's capital, the workshop court has a share! I think the market for this thing is not small, and there are many rich people in our big man. I, Wang Wuyan, can't afford it, but a lot of people can afford it, tsk, it's a unique business in the world, your majesty, according to what I know about you, the cost of this thing must not be high, right? Wang Wuyan said happily, ignoring that Gao Yuan's face was already dark.

"Wang Wuchang, this is my private capital. What does it have to do with the imperial court? Don't you want to make up your mind! "Gao Yuan shot the case.

"Your Majesty, you are the king of the Great Han, and all of this Great Han is yours, naturally. Yours is also the country, your majesty, don't have a black face, don't look at our Han is thriving now. The national strength is strong, but that is what outsiders see, and we have a weak foundation. Every time the year-end budget begins, the county guards will break the threshold of the ministers, and the ministers are afraid to go home, and the big council is about to become a martial arts arena, and the big councilors are staring at the treasury for their local interests, and they are looking forward to the imperial court allocating more subsidies to them, king, I will calculate it....... ”

"Sensei, you're the Minister of Finance." Takato angrily banged on the table.

"Okay, okay, this doesn't count, let's talk about the things in Jicheng, what is the budget of the comprehensive university for a year, you know it, right? Yizhen Research Institute, you also know how much money the Ordnance Research Institute will swallow in a year, right? ”

"Hmph, this is your duty, how much is the country's annual income and how to use it, this is what you should worry about, Wang Wuyan, let me tell you, don't want to beat my private idea. The money is not enough, you live within your means, by the way, I can't remember the fact that you didn't mention the money, the imperial court should pay me and my family a total of 200,000 yuan a year, right? It's been a few years, three years, right? You owe me 600,000 yuan, Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are here!" He Weiyuan, who was standing in the corner of the house, flattened his mouth and walked out with a smile, "What about the IOU that Minister Wang wrote to me in the past few years, his Ministry of Finance borrowed me such a private money, and he will pay it back to me now." ”

He Weiyuan walked to the side of the study with a smile, took out a small box, and took out a few IOUs written by Wang Wuyan himself, which were also stamped with the bright red seal of the Ministry of Finance.

"Is this what you wrote, is this what you wrote?" Gao Yuan took the IOU and shook it in front of Wang Wuyan's eyes.

"The minister's eyes are not good, the king will give me a closer look." Wang Wuchang stretched out his hand.

"Hahaha!" Gao Yuanwei laughed, and his hand quickly retracted, "You old guy, come with me again, the last time the IOU of 100,000 yuan, you used the excuse to take a look, took it and stuffed it in your mouth and ate it, and you want to repeat the old trick, you should be ruthless once you are ruthless, and I am stupid when you are the second time!" ”

The attempt was shattered, but Wang Wuchang did not have a look of shame on his face, but said with a straight face: "Don't slander your subordinates, as the minister of finance, how can the minister do such a thing, the finance ministry under the control of his subordinates has strict accounts and no loopholes." The king said this, but is there any physical evidence? ”

"Look, look, Yipo, this is our Minister of Finance." Gao Yuan was happy, and turned his head to look at Mei Yipo on the side, Mei Yipo smiled silently.

"Wei Yuan, put it away carefully, hide it in another place, Minister Wang often comes to my place, if I wasn't here that day, he copied it out and ate it all as a snack, I would have suffered a big loss."

"Understood!" He Weiyuan grinned and walked out with the small box.

Wang Wuyan sighed, "Your Majesty, this entire Han is yours, what are you doing with so much money?" I'll give you a calculation, Procter & Gamble, you have shares, now Procter & Gamble's products are sold all over the world, your annual dividends are about 500,000 yuan, Wu's liquor you have shares, dividends are more, now there are millions of yuan of income every year, Liaodong mines, smelting, you have sent people to enter the shares, although the past few years have been investing, but since last year, it has begun to earn, the first year has exceeded millions of yuan, these three businesses alone, your annual income has exceeded 2.5 million yuan, How can you still care about the salary of 200,000 yuan? ”

"It's mine, it's mine." Gao Yuan snorted, "The law is like this. It's not easy to scrap the bike. Hey, Wang Wuyan, how do you know how much money I made last year? ”

Wang Wuyan sighed and said: "Your Majesty, is this difficult for your subordinates, who are just deduced from the tax revenue of these companies and factories from the tax department. ”

Gao Yuan's eyes widened, and he had nothing to say.

"You drag my salary and don't pay it, I have to support my whole family, don't you? Is the dignity of the Wang family still missing? That's a lot of money! If you don't say anything else, you just say the guards in this palace, girl. Workers, during the New Year's holidays, I don't give out some rewards? Wei Yuan, how much does this cost? ”

He Weiyuan, who had just hidden the small box, came back, and when he heard this, he quickly nodded cooperatively, "Yes, yes, last year, I spent more than 100,000 yuan even on wages and rewards!" ”

"Even so. That's a drop in the bucket! Wang Wuyan said dissatisfiedly: "The king is not bad for money, but the country is bad for money." ”

Mei Yipo on the side said with a haha: "Minister Wang, let's put this matter down first, have you forgotten what we came to today?" ”

Wang Wuchang suddenly came to his senses. nodded again and again, "I was taken to the ditch by the king, yes, yes, yes, to get down to business." ”

What does it mean to be taken into the ditch by me? Gao Yuan's nose was almost crooked. There is really nothing he can do about this finance minister.

"Your Majesty, Minister Wang is right about one thing. According to the instructions of the king, the collegiate meeting of the Great Council and the budget of the political hall, the subsidy of the central government to support the localities next year is as much as hundreds of millions of yuan, especially in the original Qi and Wei places, which require a large amount of capital investment, and the central bank is ready to expand the issuance of coins next year. "Mei Yi ramps.

Gao Yuan was a little worried, "Will increasing the amount of money cause inflation?" It's no joke, I've always felt like it's better to live within your means. Gao Yuan didn't know much about these things, but he knew that inflation was not a fun thing.

"Wang Shang rest assured, now my Han's economy is in the upward stage, all walks of life, steaming, everyone is eager to expand the scale, the business bigger and stronger, but without exception, poor money! Moderate stimulus is definitely positive for Dahan's economy. The central bank and the Ministry of Finance have held many meetings on this matter, and dozens of seminars have been held alone, and the final conclusion is that the amount of money should be increased at this time to stimulate the market. ”

"If you think these things can be done, then do them well." Gao Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Minister Wang and I came this time to report the relevant details to the king." Mei Yi ramp.

It was getting late, but the three people talking in the study didn't know the passage of time, He Weiyuan stared at a few lights and came in, and the room suddenly became bright. Wang Wuyan's eyes lit up suddenly, and the few lamps on Gao Yuan's table were not the kind of oil lamps he usually used, but like a handicraft, he reached out and stroked the lamp holder, "Your Majesty, this is also made of glass?" And this lampshade, it's this thing too, right? ”

Gao Yuan nodded, "Yes, how about it, it's a lot brighter than the oil lamp we don't use often, right?" ”

"It's not just a lot brighter, this lamp holder, put it on the table, it can be lit at night, and it can also be used as an ornament during the day, it's very beautiful!" Mei Yipo praised, "I want to install this glass at home, I want to buy a few more of this lamp, look at the account every day, the light is dim, and my eyes are going to be spent!" ”

"Go back to Wei Yuan and ask him to arrange it for you, now that the production of this glass is insufficient, this lamp is even less, let him arrange it for you!" Gao Yuan smiled: "Come on, come on, let's continue to talk about things." ”

When the bangzi in the palace rang twice, the discussion in the study was finally over, Wang Wuchang and Mei Yipo said goodbye, and when Wang Wuchang got up, he unceremoniously grabbed a lamp on the table in his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and his eyes are not good, take a lamp to light the way, so as not to fall." After speaking, he took this beautiful lamp and staggered out the door.

"This old guy is really a blatant robbery!" Looking at Wang Wuyan's back, Gao Yuan shook his head and sighed. (To be continued......)
