Chapter 444: Emergency Things

Lu Xiufu was very pleased to hear the wishes of the little emperor, at least an aspiring emperor was much better than a mediocre and foolish emperor, but he admired his ideas and felt very naΓ―ve at the same time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info retaining the identity of many officials is very beneficial to stabilizing the court situation, but it will also bring huge financial pressure to the imperial court, and it is very difficult for Qiongzhou to raise soldiers with that little tax, relying on the original savings can not last for a year, and at the same time, it is necessary to support so many officials where to get the money, so the little emperor thinks well, recruiting talents from all over the world to work for him, but he does not consider how much money he has in his pocket.

"Your Majesty, after the dynasty moves to Qiongzhou, the expenses will increase several times, and how will it be maintained?" Lu Xiufu knew that the emperor was in charge of spending money, and he was collecting money for the country, and he had to bear the black pot himself if the treasury was in deficit. Since the little emperor roasted himself, then he also saw what way he could solve it.

"The method of throttling the land phase is a means, but only by pulling out some surplus food from the mouths of the people, taking some money from the hands of the ministers, and reducing some expenses of the Empress Dowager are all temporary strategies, which are difficult to maintain for a long time, and will only get poorer and poorer. Therefore, it is better to reduce expenditure than open source! "Zhao Yu is a monkey spirit, as soon as he listens to the words, he knows that Lu Xiufu is also testing himself, which makes a small talk become a fighting method for monarchs and ministers, and he can't have a good chat. This also shows that it is not optimistic about Qiongzhou's economy and has no good solution to its financial problems.

"Your Majesty thinks that you already have a plan, and the minister is willing to listen to the teachings!" Lu Xiufu was a little stunned, listening to the meaning of his words, he obviously had a case in his heart, and he was ready to deal with today's situation, but he was still a little unconvinced, thinking that a child was just a genius in the military, and it was really a demon to make money and a good strategy.

"Qi is a barren land with mountains and seas, and Zhou is a barren land, so why did Lu Xiang think that Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period became one of the overlords?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"Jiang Shangnai is a genius in the world, he cultivates political affairs, conforms to his customs, simplifies etiquette, opens up the industrial and commercial industry, and develops the advantages of the fishery and salt industry, so the people are mostly attached to the Qi country, and the countries come to the court, and Qi is the overlord." Lu Xiufu is also a great Confucian, of course he knows Jiang Shang's methods of governing Qi, and suddenly woke up and said, "Does Your Majesty want to follow Jiang Shang's strategy of managing Qidi?" ”

"Yes, according to the Book of Han? Geographical Chronicles: Qi land negative sea lagoon, less grains, and few people. "Treatise on Salt and Iron" said: In the past, the Taigong sealed the camp hill and lived in the grass. The ground is thin and there are few people. The natural conditions are extremely harsh in today's Qiongzhou, and Jiang Gong has adapted measures to local conditions since the early establishment of the Qi State, while focusing on the development of millet and rice production, taking advantage of the characteristics of rich mineral deposits and rich fish and salt resources in the territory, focusing on the implementation of smelting, silk and linen textiles, fishery salt, etc., to promote development and growth; It also took advantage of the convenient transportation of Qi and the customs of the people to value commerce to develop commerce, and implemented the policy of currency with other countries. It is under the guidance of this strategy of "agriculture, industry, and commerce" that the crown and belt clothes and shoes made by Qi sell well all over the world, fish and salt circulate all over the world, and the princes come to worship one after another, and Qi gradually develops from a remote and desolate small and poor country to a large and rich country living on the coast of the East China Sea. ”

"Although the land of Qiongzhou is not civilized, it will change customs with the migration of the dynasty. Its land is not divided into four seasons, there is no cold and summer, rivers are all over, rice is generally double-cropped, or even triple-cropped, the land utilization rate has risen greatly, and one acre of land can have three acres of output. As long as the wilderness is cleared, water conservancy is built, and people are recruited to farm, it can be used for millions of people, and millions of stones of grain can be accumulated in a few years! ”

"Now that iron ore has been discovered in Jiyang, there is coal in Changhua, and there is no need to worry about the lack of weapons available if there is coal and iron. Qiongzhou is surrounded by the sea, and boiling salt and fishing is the way of life of the local people, but the scale is still small. In addition, the Western Domain and the southeastern countries all need to pass through Qiongzhou to travel to and from the mainland, replenish supplies, and purchase special products, and the cotton cloth produced in their places is more expensive than gold, which can become a way for us to make money and obtain what we need. Zhao Yu said a lot in one breath before he stopped and took a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty's far-sighted strategy is beyond the reach of ministers!" Jiang Ming sighed when he heard this, "At that time, my father thought that His Majesty was bent on going to Qiongzhou, and he suspected that His Majesty was using the name of defending the waterway to Champa to escape the pursuit of the enemy. ”

"Hehe, you just knew!" Chen Renweng took over with a smile and said, "After His Majesty conquered Guangzhou that day, he insisted on leaving for Qiongzhou, so I asked Brother Nai. Although he has not been able to understand the mystery, His Majesty has done many major things in Qiongzhou in only one year, opened up the land access roads of the state capitals of Qiongzhou, built a complete coastal defense, and created an iron army to wipe out the enemy naval army on the southeast coast, but his subordinates finally understood His Majesty's intentions! ”

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed that my ministers were stupid and failed to comprehend the holy will!" Lu Xiufu said with a guilty face, at that time, His Majesty was going to leave the dynasty and go to Qiongzhou, and no one in the court knew about it, but there were many people watching and understanding, and he also thought that it was a group of courtiers who wanted to hijack him and establish himself as the king, and then looked at him coldly, and now he thinks that most of it is His Majesty's own idea. Just now, he was able to quote scriptures and classics to say Jiang Shangzhiqi's affairs without thinking, and it can be seen that His Majesty has a wide range of knowledge, and it is by no means something that the three masters can teach in just one year, obviously he has read it a long time ago, and His Majesty has said some truth at the court meeting when he was in Jiazi Town, but it is a pity that although he has paid attention to it, he has not studied it deeply, so that his misunderstanding of His Majesty has deepened.

"You Aiqing boasted again, I will be embarrassed, this is just a little clever, that day or with the power of the palace marshal, with the planning of several masters, the assistance of everyone in the house, and the generals in the army to serve their lives desperately, so that I can have Qiongzhou today, I dare not take the credit alone!" Zhao Yu knew that the more this time was, the more he had to show humility, and the credit should be counted on everyone's head, and he must not lead it alone, so that everyone could be motivated, and he smiled at the moment.

"Your Majesty, don't be humble, the minister thinks that after the dynasty arrives in Qiong, the expenses will surge, and it will take time to develop agriculture and mulberry and carry out trade, and I am afraid that it will still be beyond our means, and we still need emergency measures to solve our eyebrows!" Lu Xiufu thought about it and asked for advice, he knew very well that the financial crisis was likely to turn into a political crisis, and he would be the first to bear the brunt of the impact, so he could be regarded as sincerely asking for advice.

"What Lu Xiang said is extremely true, I have also thought about this matter during these days in Yashan, and there is only one thing that can solve the crisis for today's plan!" Zhao Hao nodded, pretending to be mysterious.

"What is it?" Everyone was whetted by the little emperor's words, thinking about what could immediately relieve the financial crisis of the imperial court.

"Salt!" Zhao Hao looked at everyone and spit out a word...... (To be continued.) )
