Mo Zhi hurriedly said: "Lord, let's talk about it, but everything related to money has to be discussed first, you see you...... Lord, what you promised is not a one-pole thing, if it is a one-pole thing, you will grit your teeth and get through, but what you promised is a lifetime thing, think about it, now it is a troubled ....... ”

Speaking of which, Mo Zhi turned around and let the two guards out.

The guards looked at Wu Zheng, and Wu Zheng nodded.

When the two guards went out, they closed the door.

Mo Zhinian lowered his voice and said: "Does the lord know that if you want to complete the great cause, how many people will have to die?" Who is most likely to die on the battlefield? O dead man! One day, this huge territory will be defeated, and 100,000 will not die...... No, if you don't say anything, you have hundreds of thousands, everyone has parents, wives, and children, and this parent is okay to say, as soon as she is old, she will return in a few years, if this wife does not remarry, you have to support her for a lifetime? And this child, one is fine, if there are three or five, you have to feed them to adulthood? Doesn't this promise of yours bring the decay and the entire Financial Secretary into the ditch? ”

Wu Zheng just wanted to speak, but Mo insisted on stretching out his hand to stop him, "Also, as soon as the war starts, the price of this rice is rising day by day, originally one silver and one stone, at most ten days and a half months, it can be doubled, and then the silver will not matter, the only thing in charge is grain, dare to die in the camp, even if there are only two fathers, mothers, wives, and children, one person will get at least one and a half stones a year, and five people will get seven and a half stones, which is more than twice as expensive as raising a soldier, my lord, do you understand this account?" ”

Speaking of which, the old man honestly and unceremoniously took the tea from Wu Zheng and drank it all.

stared at Wu Zheng, with a look that if you don't change, I won't leave.

Wu Zheng also looked at Mo Obsession, and the two looked at each other for a long time.

Wu Zheng finally spoke, "Where does the money come from, whether it is enough or not, that's your business." ”

Don't be in a hurry, just about to open your mouth to argue.

Wu Zheng drew the gourd in the same way and stretched out his hand to block it, "But I will also settle an account with you, this account is much simpler than what you just calculated." ”

Mo obsessively closed his mouth and looked listening.

Wu Zheng said: "If you lose, me, you, and Hangzhou Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion will all be finished, do you think life is important or money is important?" It's simple, right? ”

"Isn't it good to defend Hangzhou City like before?" Mo obsessed and shouted urgently, "If you die, how much is the pension, why bother yourself?" ”

"Is it self-inflicted?" Wu Zheng's expression became serious, "The Qing court in the north occupies most of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, how much is the tax in a year?" In the south, the Longwu Dynasty occupied almost the entire territory of Yunnan, Guizhou, Liangguang and Fujian, how much was the tax? The remnants of the Great Western Army occupy the entire Sichuan and Gansu, and how much do they pay taxes in a year? What do I have, how much tax can be collected in a year in the two newly attached cities of Hangzhou and Jiaxing, and even after a year, it is still unknown whether I can keep Hangzhou and Jiaxing. Will you and I talk about the future? Sometime? Thinking too much about you? ”

Mo obsessively trembled his lips, pointed at Wu Zheng and said, "You ......." ”

"What are you?" Wu Zheng changed his face and said angrily, "At such an old age, I like to drill the horns of the cow when I think about things, and the price of rice has risen, so I won't find a way to suppress it?" ”

Mo Zhi was confused by Wu Zheng, in fact, he also understood that Wu Zheng was right, but it was not painful for the cub to sell Ye Tian, and now half of the money spent is his Mo family's property, Wu Zheng has indeed looted a lot, but the money is also large, plus it is evenly distributed to more than 70,000 troops, no matter how much money is not enough to spend.

It sounds like there are two governments to pay taxes, but this crop is planted in the field, and it doesn't take time to ripen, right?

Besides, spring ploughing has not started, where to collect taxes?

The commercial tax has just been prepared, and it is being put into it.

Now that it's going to come out like this, isn't it even worse?

Mo Zhinian looked at Wu Zheng unreasonable, he was really speechless, at this time, listening to Wu Zheng talk about finding a way to reduce the price of rice, he suddenly found a breakthrough, and said with a little sarcasm: "The lord said a way to come out, and the old man listened to it." Now that the war is about to begin, which family doesn't know? Everyone thinks about hoarding food, and who else puts food out without opening their eyes? ”

Wu Zheng asked, "How much grain is there in Hangzhou City?" ”

"It's hard to estimate, but at least seven or eight million stones are still available." Speaking of this, Mo was stunned, "What, you still plan to grab food?" ”

Wu Zheng said angrily: "Is this official that kind of person? ”

Mo obsessively rolled his eyes, and that look just said, haven't you done it? Is the bitter Lord still standing before you?

Wu Zheng suddenly weakened his momentum, so he said in a harmonious voice: "Among these millions of stone grains, how many percent are in the hands of rich families, how many percent are in the official warehouse, and how many percent are on the market, do you know?" ”

"About 30% of the official warehouse, at least 50% of the rich, and there are two good achievements on the market."

"What percentage of the Mo family is occupied?"

"Uh...... Lord, you won't fight the Mo family's idea, right? Mo Zhinian panicked.

Wu Zheng said: "Just ask casually, just don't want to say it." ”

Mo Zhinian hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "Nearly one percent...... bar. ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said: "It's almost, you send people to set up a few rice shops in the densely populated places in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city, and directly sell grain at ninety percent of the market price." ”

"Lord...... You are crazy? ”

"Every two days, it will be reduced by two percent, and the grain will be sold at seventy percent of the market price."

Mo Zhinian calmed down at this time, and his experience made him wake up to Wu Zheng's future.

"From the sixth day, rice will be sold at a 5% discount."

Mo obsessed: "Although I don't know what else the lord has to do, the old man thinks that this plan will not work." ”

"Oh...... Why? ”

"There are many examples of ways to reduce the price of rice from ancient times to the present, but the premise is that there is enough rice in hand and it can be convincing, and there will be more sources of rice in the future, that is, people believe that rice will be cheaper in the future. But now, the war is about to start, the soldiers and horses have been drawn, how can the lord win the trust of others, you know, no rich family in the city is less intelligent than you and me. ”

As he spoke, Mo Zhi also deliberately nodded his flowery head to confirm that it was a brain.

Wu Zheng laughed, this old man is really a bit childlike.

Wu Zheng naturally would not be arrogant enough to think that he was smarter than the ancients.

To put it mildly, looking at the past and present, speaking of intelligence, Wu Zheng really didn't think that the ancients were stupider than later generations.

It is not to belittle the future generations, but that most of the later generations rely on advanced technology, which reduces the training of their own intelligence.

Especially in terms of erudition, creativity, and brains, he is far inferior to the ancients.

The only strength of the people of the later generations is to be well-informed.

This point, stronger from generation to generation, is indisputable.

Therefore, Wu Zheng came up with such an idea, naturally not to compare intelligence with the ancients.
