Chapter 315
Five taels of silver!
What a big deal!
If it was exchanged for someone else's reward, it is estimated that Wu Liangfu would have been cold and cold, these five taels of silver are not enough to send Huazi. Even sending Hanako is definitely more than that. For him, as the chief eunuch. With such a little silver, he really can't look down on it. Even the amount of money he rewarded to the little eunuchs around him was more than that.
But the problem is that the person who rewarded this reward is different, the lord of this reward of silver, but the emperor!
Maybe for the emperor, in? The emperor seems that he only has a few taels of silver a month, and these five taels of silver are already a great reward.
But the emperor didn't know that at his point, how could he live on only a little silver, no matter what the dignitaries in the court were, they would never treat him badly.
These five taels of silver, but I really can't see it. But the owner of the silver was different.
Although it was only five taels of silver, after all, it was the emperor's reward, Wu Liangfu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, while saying that thanking the master for the reward, while saying that it was the duty of a slave to share the worries of the master, and then he looked grateful. For a time, the master and slave were also happy in this study.
And in the midst of this joy, Sonny was the only one whose face looked quite ugly, and he even felt a little wrong at this time. After all, not only did he fail to stop Sukh Saha, but he even made him blush in front of the emperor, showing his ability. Naturally, there was even more dissatisfaction with Sukh Saha. Even he had already made up his mind. Even today Sukh Saha got what he wanted. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you must take care of today's account and calculate it.
Regarding the change in Sony's mentality, Fulin naturally didn't know, and he wouldn't pay attention to it, and he was in a good mood, looking at Suke Saha who was kneeling on the ground and said.
"Well, Sukh Saha, since this matter is ...... by that Jin"
The words paused slightly, and when he didn't remember what the person's name was Jin, Wu Liangfu reminded him on the side.
"Jin Wenbo, the third son of the Jin family, once won the reputation of Jinshi, although he is a concubine, but he also has some talent."
The reason why Wu Liangfu was able to get the emperor's favor was precisely because he was extremely smart, and there were less than 100 prominent people in the Thirteen Yamen, but he could not only remember these people, but also their families and the situation at home.
This is what sets Sukh Saha apart from the others, he is able to remember small things. And then rely on these little things to make their own profits. And sometimes it is these little things that attract people's hearts.
The difference between people is in this place. At this time, he doesn't mind lifting other people, for him who is so weak that it is better to carry one more person.
Sony, who has long been like an old man, naturally saw Suke Saha's thoughts, and knew that there was no way to stop him in this area, Sony, his mind moved slightly, and then he spoke.
"Hey, now the problem of food has been solved, but the use of the imperial court is still difficult!"
When he said this, Sony's face was completely worried about the country and the people. Of course, in the bottom of his heart, he just wanted to point out the shortcomings of Sukh Saha's previous attention.
Anyone can see clearly, this is to buy foreign rice to solve the problem of food shortage in the capital, but now for the imperial court, the biggest problem is that there is no silver, there is no silver, how to buy rice if you want to? What to buy? After all, Nanyang, not my Qing Dynasty, can be compared to increasing taxes and grain.
I want to bring rice back from Nanyang. You have to buy it with real money. Now the imperial court doesn't have that much silver to buy rice. In this case, Sony naturally wouldn't mind pointing out the shortcomings in Sukh Saha's previous proposal. Instead of letting Sukh Saha grow into a face in front of the emperor.
"What's so hard about it?"
Sony's seemingly unwilling words made Sukh Saha immediately follow his words.
"This solution to the lack of use is nothing more than two methods, one is open source, the other is throttling, and now this throttling has been almost saved, so we can only find a way to open source!"
Now Sukh Saha is no longer as "clumsy" as before, and he has made up his mind to take the opportunity to "counterattack", so he will naturally not miss the opportunity now.
After all, like today, the opportunity for Sony to be alone is really rare, and in this case, Suke Saha naturally will not miss the opportunity. After all, for him, who is completely dependent on the emperor's trust, he must constantly show his usefulness and talents, and only by belittling others can he elevate his identity.
"Open source?"
Sonny looked at Sukh Saha and sneered.
"Master Su thinks that how much can the people of this world afford? If the tax is raised again, I am afraid that it will only cause trouble, and if another Li Chuang is forced out, what should I do when the time comes? ”
Open source!
Whenever the imperial court is insufficient, it will make a fuss about these two words, and the so-called open source is nothing more than raising taxes and levying more land taxes. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered, in order to win people's hearts, an edict was issued to exempt the three salaries, but it was just a piece of paper. In fact, it is still being levied until now, and when Dolgon was regent, he sent more than 250 taels of extra money and grain to nine provinces, and after Shunzhi was in power, he ordered to levy more than the amount of grain, and last year, in order to solve the problem of thieves in Jiangnan, he immediately increased the levy of training salaries, and let the local authorities collect them on their own, which was used for training troops and suppressing bandits, not only that, because of the loss of taxes in Jiangnan, it was also added to the provinces as much as more than 5 million taels to alleviate the financial crisis. But now that the burden on the people has reached its peak, I don't know what kind of chaos will arise if we continue to raise taxes.
Empowerment seems to be the only option for open source. Now that Sukh Saha said this, Sony naturally let out such a sneer. Didn't Daming add a Li Chuang precisely because of the three salaries?
Now that he wants to raise taxes, isn't it just the government forcing the people to rebel?
"What Master Suo said is very true, now that the imperial court has added five million taels, naturally it can't be added again, but if you don't add it, where will you get the silver? However, if you want to open source, you don't have to keep your eyes on the people's land! There are other places to do besides the fields where you can do some articles! ”
As he spoke, Sukh Saha took out another fold from his sleeve.
"As for the taxes required by this court, the slave has a fold, and I originally thought that it would be presented to the emperor when the court meeting tomorrow, but this is a coincidence, so I will present it to the emperor together."
Wu Liangfu took the fold from Sukh Saha's hand, then handed it to the emperor, and took it, but only after a brief look at the contents, Fu Lin asked in surprise.
"This, this...... It's true! ”
Noticing the surprise in the emperor's tone, Sony looked at the fold in his hand with some curiosity.
What is written in this excerpt?
Can you make the emperor lose his temper like this? Could it be that this Sukh Saha really has a good way not to be done?
"Your Majesty, this matter is naturally true, the slave has the account books brought back by the Huangzhou Mansion to use as proof."
"Huangzhou Mansion,"
Hearing him mention Huangzhou Mansion, Sony immediately thought of the contents of an excerpt he had seen a month ago.
"Your Majesty, is it Gong Chengqi, the prefect of Huangzhou, mentioned in this excerpt?"
Immediately after receiving an affirmative answer, Sony sneered.
"Your Majesty, this Gong Chengqi slave knows, although this person is a slave of the heavenly family, but he doesn't know how to serve the emperor, when he was on an errand in Beijing, he repeatedly offended the officials by arrogant and arrogant servants, if it weren't for the fact that he was a slave of the heavenly family. It is estimated that he has been dismissed a long time ago, and then after the decentralization of the place, he also did not change the arrogant temper of the lord, when the thieves in Huangzhou fell, as the prefect of a prefecture, he abandoned the city and fled, how can such disloyal and unfilial people say it seriously? ”
In fact, Sony didn't know about Gong Chengqi, but he knew about this person's "deeds" in the local excerpts, and in order to shirk the responsibility, the local government naturally pushed the responsibility to Gong Chengqi, so there were Sony's words. It doesn't matter if that person has the talent to learn or not. There's always nothing wrong with stepping him under your feet first.
"Your Majesty, as far as the slaves know, the reason why Gong Chengqi abandoned the city at that time was precisely to repay Jun's grace, not that he was unwilling to live and die with Huangzhou, but that he couldn't do this, when the slave saw him, he once said that the reason why he lived was to bring this account book and the method of levying money to the emperor, to share the worries of the court and the emperor, and to ask the emperor to learn clearly."
Suke Saha, who had intended to gain the emperor's trust, naturally would not let Sony criticize Gong Chengqi's character, and just as he was defending Gong Chengqi, Fu Lin said on the side.
"Don't fight again, I just ask, this matter is serious, then Gong Chengqi, really tried it in Huangzhou for a month, and collected more than 4,000 taels?"
This is what Fulin is most concerned about, the army has no salary to disperse, no military salary, how can he go south, no salary, how can the world of the Qing Dynasty sit firmly?
And now, in Sukh Saha's recital, he clearly mentioned that if the implementation of "Li Jin" can open up tens of millions of taels a year, how can this not make him excited. I don't want to move it anymore.
"It's just a great exploitation of the people!"
Sonny's words made Fulin's brow furrow, and he handed the fold directly to Sony, and then said.
"Sony, you can also take a look, look at the content of the excerpt before talking!"
Listening to the dissatisfaction in the emperor's tone, Sony immediately understood, the content of this fold is probably not so simple, sure enough, after taking the fold, he just took a little look at the content of the fold, and his expression became solemn, and he suddenly understood why the emperor was so surprised.
If this method is true, if it is implemented in the world, the imperial court will definitely be able to earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year, so how can the Qing Dynasty be troubled by the lack of silver.
(I recommend the new book "Zhennan Ming", which is a very good Ming Dynasty!) Although the story has just begun, it is very exciting, and it deserves to be from the gods! )
