Chapter 158: How Can This Defeated Country Become Strong (9)

"How to solve the problem of money and food? In fact, food is not a big problem, it is mainly a problem of money, how can we increase the income of the people? At the same time, it can't help but arouse the disgust of the people? The main thing is not to affect the income of the people, so that there is no need to worry about arousing public anger. Ji Fa voiced his worries.

At this time, Taigongwang was thinking hard, the emperor had doubts, and as an old minister, he should find a way to solve the emperor's worries and think about solutions, so it was time for him to exert his strength.

Taigongwang thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry, the old minister has a wonderful method, since the development of the witchcraft school and the healer school is so smooth, and the people are also very prosperous for a while, but this and this, since the ancients, there will be many problems, and this has not been recognized by my Zhou State, right?" So this and this, collect some taxes, isn't it very deserved? They'll be happy to make it, too. ”

Ji Fa looked at Taigong in surprise, he only knew at this time that Taigong's resourcefulness and why it would be passed on to future generations, he was so smart that he really couldn't describe it in other words. At this moment, Ji Fa felt that Taigongwang's power was really powerful.

"Taigong, please tell me about it." Ji Fa said respectfully.

"cough cough cough, don't panic, wait for the old minister to tell slowly, this policy and order of the country since ancient times is to maintain the stability and stability of the Zhou State, and let the people have enough food and clothing, even if the Zhou State tries to make money, the money is also used to stabilize the rule of the country, and it is also to make the people's lives better."

"After determining this most basic purpose, you can let go of your hands and feet, and boldly carry it out, and there will be no mistakes, and then let's go back to this topic, that is, the witchcraft school and the healer school, how much tax should be collected by the two factions, for what reason, how much tax is most appropriate, and then whether it is a one-time tax, or a corresponding tax every year."

"Judging from the current attitude, the people have begun to recognize these two sects, and these two sects have begun to receive a steady stream of people, and the people are willing to join, plus other people have a good impression of these two sects, so that the long-term tax income can be considered, so that the cost can be recovered."

Taigongwang thought for a while and said: "That is the person who joins the Doctor Sect, and everyone pays a sword coin, and the person who joins the Witch Sect pays two sword coins each, well... The term is half a year, so you can collect taxes twice a year, so that when the total number of people continues to increase, it will be a lot of income when you collect knife coins. ”

After listening to what Taigongwang said, Ji Fa had other ideas, can he reform the currency? For example, if you mint a new set of knife coins, or other types of currency, you don't need to be stuck with knife coins or anything, as long as you have the right materials to make them, you can issue such a currency, anyway, you are a king, you don't have to think about other issues.

But Ji Fa thought about it again, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say this, if you think an egg is delicious, you don't have to find a rooster, if you just want to make money, you don't have to overturn it all and start over, and there is no need to make a new set when you are short of knife coins.

"Well... Taigong said that the method is feasible, but the lonely king has another idea, these collected knife coins do not have to be received in the treasury, but the purpose of the knife coins is directly informed to the people who handed over the knife coins, as well as the people of the two factions, I believe that they can understand the meaning of this, it is for their beliefs to have many benefits, of course, even if they do not agree, then they must be paid. Ji Fa said with a smile.

Taigongwang looked at Ji Fa, touched his white beard and said with a smile: "Hahaha is so good, I believe that this group of people will definitely understand the king's good intentions." ”

Ji Fa and Taigong looked at each other and laughed.

Then the royal decree was issued in this way, and soon the people of the witchcraft faction and the healer faction of the Zhou Kingdom received this news, different from the previous taxes, although the tax income this time, although there are also officials from all over the country, they will collect it, but unlike in the past, the officials of the direct places around the country have chosen a good location in the local area, established a variety of medical halls and schools, and then everyone who pays the sword coins is all registered.

"The taxes you pay are used to build a school house for yourselves, and if you don't pay it, see if you are embarrassed."

These are the original words of the officials to the people, although some of them are not very good, but they are indeed very practical words, and they are also very sincere words.

So the vast majority of the people, all of them have paid the knife coin, and a knife coin is not too expensive, basically the people who can join these two sects are very willing to pay the knife coin, and it really doesn't cost much. In addition, the people of these sects, one has learned etiquette, and the other has comprehended benevolence, so naturally they have done their best for the development and growth of the sect.

"We're willing to pay the knife coins and let you build the building."

In fact, many students, especially those who joined the Healer Sect and the Witchcraft Sect, are very willing to see that the sect they believe in can develop and grow, and they can practice it.

Soon, the people of the whole country paid all the swords and coins in their hands one by one, and the local officials found special craftsmen to build them, and surrounded the scene, and allowed other people to watch.

"That's right, you craftsmen are very good, some of you are from these schools, build a museum for yourself, don't be lazy and slack, and the other part should pay attention, we are staring at it, this is the king's order, if anyone dares to cut corners, he will be killed on the spot after being discovered." The officials intimidated the craftsmen in front of them.

The craftsmen are very willing to do this, because a considerable number of people are built for their own sects, so they can do their best, and they are also very dedicated to their work.

Soon, the officials in various places received the first sword coins from the disciples, and immediately began to build the hall, and many students were willing to participate in it, and immediately began to implement it.

"Hahahaha the first money received, so it's great."
