Seeing that the apocalypse swore that she would go to Liaodong to collect taxes from the Jurchens, the queen smiled and said: "It is estimated that the conditions are not yet ripe for that matter, and we still don't want to count on it now, but it is also better than the newly opened grain crop development company. To deal with the Jurchens in Liaodong, the emperor still has a lot of troops staying there, and he sees the opportunity to go out and grab a trip, maybe he can also grab some ginseng, mink and other things back, this company has no income, not to mention that it has to invest 30,000 taels a month, isn't this a bottomless pit? ”

Apocalypse said: "This is a long-line fishing for big fish, which is a matter of vision, so let's not talk about him for now." The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. We now have 380,000 cash silver, originally thought that the king of faith was not enough to borrow some from him, but now that the wheat is harvested, it is estimated that he will not need it with taxes, so it is better to find someone in the palace to plant flowers and plants that can make fragrant powder rouge, and when the time comes, not to mention whether to make money or not, at least the purchase of fragrant powder rouge can be saved, and the idle palace maid can also earn a little money. ”

The queen said: "This small fight is not a long-term solution, the main reason is that the capital is too small. ”

Sanang nodded and said: "The emperor is the king of a country, and he only has more than 300,000 taels in his hands, and I heard that Sister Siqin's brother's family property is several million, so it is better to find it or borrow or ask for it, anyway, it is a relative now." ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "Whether it is relatives or friends, borrowing money is the most hurtful feeling, if you want to maintain a friendship for a long time, it is better to be a gentleman and not talk about money." ”

Tianqi was chatting with the queen, Feng Siqin, Zhang Chunying, Liu Sanang and others, and several other people sat on the side and just watched and didn't speak, and everyone got used to it after a long time. Who knew that Wei Xiaolan, who had never spoken at this time, came to say: "What's the good of borrowing money?" It's better to grab it. ”

As soon as she said this, she was immediately shocked, and everyone looked at her in amazement, thinking that although he was small but not weak, he still had kung fu, and some people were speculating whether she would wear a night suit to rob people tonight.

Sanang looked at Wei Xiaolan and said, "Sister Xiaolan, who are you going to rob, I can't accompany you because of my big belly, otherwise we will go to rob Mrs. Zheng tonight, there is a lot of silver in her palace." ”

Wei Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and said: "I mean to send people to rob those rich people who oppress the people, how can they mess with the palace with their own people?" Besides, Concubine Zheng was very good to me, and she gave me a pair of bracelets last time. ”

The queen shook her head and said: "Wei Xuanzhi's idea is very clever, but unfortunately the emperor has used it many times, in the emperor's words, it is impossible to dig deep in the soil." first robbed Wei Zhongxian, then robbed several officials in the DPRK and China, and finally robbed the big families in the south, and it is said that he also sent troops to rob the expansion of the Jurchens in Liaodong. ”

Tianqi Zhengse said: "Except for the Jurchens, the others are not robbing, it is those people who have made mistakes, and raiding their homes is equivalent to confiscating the tools for doing bad things, which can be regarded as good for them." ”

The queen nodded and said: "Anyway, that's the case, it's just that there is a reason to rob it than Wei Xuan's servant, and now the bad guys are all hidden, and even Wei Zhongxian, an expert in making money, can only extort enough money from a few small money houses to repair the Qianqing Palace, it seems that he is also too old to have no teeth." ”

Feng Siqin said at this time: "If the emperor really wants to make money, he can show his wind with those wealthy families, and there will be many people to cooperate without the capital of one or two silver, but I know that the emperor will not be willing, for fear that they will mess around under the banner of the emperor." ”

Tianqi sighed and said: "I am not short of silver flowers, I just want to make money ♀ fairly through my own ability, the business of the second emperor store is not successful, the real capital of more than three million taels, plus the materials are all tribute, and I only earned nearly sixty thousand yuan in a month." Even if the four million taels of profit are put into the bank, it is nearly 70,000 taels per month, there must be something wrong with this. ”

When everyone heard what the apocalypse said, they thought about it in their hearts and felt that it was the same. Buying 3 million yuan of land, repairing more than 300,000 houses, plus making clothes, jewelry, cooking and snacks, opening hospitals and other materials are all free of cost, and the fixed flow of investment is at least 4 million taels. Put the four million money in the bank, the two cents of the profit is not high, there should be 800,000 every year, and nearly 70,000 per month, why is a large group of people busy with only nearly 60,000?

Feng Siqin thought for a while and said: "It is one thing that the palace maids and eunuchs are divided, and the people in Guanglu Temple, Shanglin Yuan and the palace eunuchs have gained some benefits, but the most important thing is the emperor's own two-percent profit cap system, which is the reason for the low income." ”

Seeing the apocalypse looking at her, Feng Siqin continued: "Doing business is the same as the river has a rising period and a dry period, it is also divided into off-season and peak season. The emperor forcibly demanded that the profit of 20% be capped, and everyone should make a lot of money in the peak season to get back the losses in the off-season, so that you can make up for the deficit in the off-season, of course, it is not as cost-effective as lending. Moreover, it is not clear that this system has just been implemented, or that everyone has not suffered much loss or dare not speak out, and there will definitely be problems after a long time. ”

Feng Siqin's words reminded the apocalypse, this market has the characteristics of the market, if the artificial intervention violates the characteristics of the market, it will inevitably encounter more and more resistance∫ but now that the problem has been found from his own imperial store, otherwise, the resentment of the merchants will definitely accumulate more and more, and in the end, there will definitely be a few more tabloid incidents to oppose. It is not impossible for a bourgeois revolution to break out on a national scale if it is insisted on forcibly suppressing it.

However, the Apocalypse knew that the current merchants did not have the power to overthrow themselves, and the army and Shilin had not yet let them infiltrate, which was the credit of Taizu. The only thing worth it is that they have to be closer to the people than these merchants, so that the people can realize that the court and the emperor are their only support, then the merchants will not be able to capsize. But having said that, we still have to find a way to resolve the contradictions, directly confront each other, not to mention the hard work, we must think of a way to eliminate the hidden dangers once and for all.

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "This is problematic to have a two-percent cap regardless of the actual situation, but this system can restrict the exploitation of the people by merchants, at least until the people of the whole country solve the problem of food and clothing, and the business is relatively low, in order not to make everyone psychologically unbalanced, and in order to avoid merchants saving all the silver and not taking it out for circulation, I think that the interest rate should continue to be reduced." At the right time, it was ordered that the interest rate on the national loan should be reduced to one and a half cents or even one cent, or even less than one cent, so that everyone could take out their money and make a small profit for a long time, and slowly let them understand that it is also good to have a long stream. ”

Feng Siqin thought for a while and said: "The emperor has benefited ordinary people by doing this, but the profits of businessmen are not high, how to ensure the interests of businessmen in the period of business recession?" How to ensure that this fine water can really flow for a long time and will not be intercepted halfway? If you can't get the businessman to have confidence, I'm afraid there will still be a problem. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "This is a problem in the imperial court, now it is time for the Holy Academy and the Bo Academy to consider it∞ we must do things in front according to our own, and make a Mu out to see if it can be promoted throughout the country." ”

The queen said, "What is the emperor going to do?" Isn't our current royal store a good idea? ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "The palace maids and eunuchs are only in the palace, and they can't represent the people of the whole country, and besides, the imperial store is still in the name of me, and it is not a real store ♀, some restaurants or jewelry stores, just like flowers in a greenhouse, it is estimated that it will not survive long without the royal signboard." ”

Feng Siqin clapped his hands and smiled: "Your Majesty's idea is good, let's find a way to plan in the palace, let irrelevant people do business as ordinary people, and let them abide by the law and compete with everyone else." Even if they encounter something that they can't deal with, the emperor can't let people take action, and they should find a way from the system. Let businesses like them get the same help, so that there is promotion value. ”

The queen nodded and said: "I thought that 300,000 taels would not be enough to do any more business, but now it seems that 300,000 taels is enough, which ordinary small merchants can invest 300,000 taels at once when they start?" But what kind of business is the emperor going to start? ”

Tianqi said: "What do you discuss, Tan Jing first went to Liu Zongzhou of the Holy Academy, as well as King Xin, Gao Panlong and others to tell me what I mean, just say that there is a problem with the interest of the money village and the profit of the merchant being limited to 20%, let them find a way to return." ”
