"Borrowing money from the people?"

Yang Hao's words made the ministers a little confused, and they didn't know what kind of operation this was.

In their impression, the common people only had to pay money and grain to the ruler, and directly imposed taxes, but they had never heard of such a loan.

Yang Hao said: "Yes, it is to borrow money and borrow grain, the eleventh tax is the foundation of the country, there are no special circumstances can not be good at moving a little, this year seems to be a good year, although the people will have a lot of food in their homes, but those are the things that the people deserve, the country is a little difficult to pull a layer of skin from the people, and livestock."

My idea is to tell the people about the difficulties of Daqi today, and all those who donate money and grain to the imperial court will be registered, and those who donate money and food will be compensated to a certain extent.

As for what compensation is, I have a few ideas here.

First, exchanging land for grain.

Second, the family that donates money and food can designate one person from among the descendants to add points to the imperial examination as appropriate.

Third, if someone engages in trading activities in the future, half of the tax can be reduced.

Fourth, after three years, the money and grain borrowed by the people will be doubled.

The above is only a draft, after the specific matters are discussed by the ministers, see what is feasible and what is not feasible, and those that are supplemented can also be proposed.

”

The ministers were silent, since Yang Hao said so, it proves that this matter is already a certainty, and the only thing that can be done now is to improve the matter of borrowing money from the people under the rules formulated by Yang Hao.

Yang Hao's heart actually wanted to come up with something similar to a national debt, but he felt that making such an advanced thing out at this time was not suitable for the current situation of Qi State.

And in order to carry out these projects, he sent out the option of paying additional taxes, and he only had the option of borrowing money.

Whether or not you can borrow money without forcing the use of violent means and coercion depends on the credibility and majesty of Daqi among the people.

If the people can actively donate money and materials, it means that the military and people of Daqi are working together to tide over the difficulties, and the people already have a sense of patriotism.

On the contrary, it means that he must find a way to enforce patriotic education and fundamentally purify these primitive people who do not know what to do.

The ministers discussed with each other, and most of them looked at the policy proposed by Yang Hao based on their own life experience.

Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, this sentence still has some truth, although the ministers' insight is far inferior to Yang Hao, but in the process of discussion, they still put forward a lot of constructive opinions to make up for Yang Hao's shortcomings.

In this regard, Yang Hao is very pleased, doing everything himself, and his own energy consumption is great.

These ministers can grow, which can relieve his pressure a lot, at least they will not let this court become their own hall, such a court is abnormal, and there are huge hidden dangers.

But fortunately, it now seems that the centralized system, which has been in operation for several years, has worked quite well.

The court meeting began early in the morning and did not announce the withdrawal of the court until the sun set.

The amount of information on this day was too great, and after many ministers left the palace hall, they felt that the world was spinning, and their old eyes were dizzy.

"Wei Shangshu, please stay!"

Wei, who was about to leave by car, suddenly heard someone calling him, was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw that it was Shang Shuyin, the ministry, who was walking towards him.

"Yin Shangshu calls a certain person and I don't know what's going on?"

"Wei Shangshu can you have time to talk at the next house, I ordered the family to prepare a meal, you and I can have a few drinks."

Wei looked at Yin, seemed to have an understanding, nodded and said, "Then so-and-so will be bothered, Yin Shangshu, please!" ”

Yin smiled and said, "Wei Shangshu, please!" ”

A secluded house on Suzaku Street, with a courtyard wall made of blue bricks and a red lacquered wooden door, all show that the identity of the owner here is extraordinary.

And on top of the vermilion gate, hang this exquisite plaque, written with two neat characters, Li Fu.

This is the mansion of the official department of the state of Qi, for most people in the state of Qi, they only know that Yin is the secretary of the ministry and is in charge of the hundred officials of the Great Qi, but they don't know that he has the surname Li.

The two carriages stopped in front of the courtyard gate, Yin got out of the car, and said to his entourage: "Good students take care of the horses!" ”

The attendant respectfully owed the carriage to the backyard.

Yin pushed open the courtyard door and said, "Wei Shangshu, please!" ”

Wei Ye came to Yin's mansion for the first time, looked at the rather magnificent courtyard, and exclaimed: "What a magnificent courtyard, I am really envious." ”

Yin smiled and said: "It's just a residence, what's there to envy, compared with Wei Shangshu, I can only hide my face and be ashamed, the simple king of Shangshu has a lot of praise, I still want you to learn!" ”

Wei said: "I just don't like these things outside the body, you can stutter, stay on the construction site, but also have a lot of fun." ”

The two of them entered the courtyard while talking, and two fruit trees were transplanted in the courtyard of Nuoda, and the leaves rustled in the night breeze, and under the light of the fire, there was a unique scene.

On the ground paved with green bricks, in the center of the courtyard, two tables have been placed, on which wine and food have been arranged, covered with a lid made of bamboo.

When the two maids who were working here saw the two of them enter the door, they hurriedly packed up their positions and stood aside respectfully.

After the two were seated, Yin waved away the two maids, and only two people remained in the courtyard of Nuoda.

Yin took a sip of wine and said, "What does Wei Shangshu think of today?" ”

Wei smiled and said, "What is Yin Shangshu referring to?" ”

"Naturally, it is a matter of borrowing money from the private sector!"

"This matter has been decided today, does Yin Shangshu still have ideas?"

"Wei Shangshu is in charge of the Great Qi Ministry of Works, he should know how much the matter mentioned by the Great King will cost?"

Wei was silent for a moment and said, "If it is feasible to borrow money, I think it is feasible." ”

"Wei Shangshu doesn't know that most of the prisoners and savages of my Daqi are now engaged in other projects.

The annual consumption of these people is a huge number, and the construction of a dam is comparable to building a stone road from Chang'an to Xincheng.

Conservative estimates suggest that at least a few thousand people will have to be mobilized.

Even if it doesn't count food. The tools and materials of thousands of people are not a small amount, if this borrowing money fails, what is the face of the court, the king does not want to do this, but our ministers have to think about it!

”

Wei Wenyan said disapprovingly: "I think Yin Shangshu is too worried, you should also see the changes in Daqi over the years, although the people are dull, but they also know who gave the life now, the king did not impose taxes, he is a benevolent monarch who is difficult to come out of the ages, if the people of Daqi are really as Yin Shangshu said, they do not care about the difficulties of the court, that is, they have no gratitude, in this case, we naturally use strong means to use strong means to show the majesty of the court." ”
