"Make money?" Mu Yi and Huang Yue were stunned, not understanding Song Zheng's intentions (the latest chapter of the Super God System).

"Yes, I wonder if you two have ever heard of a glass of wine to release military power?"

This is naturally known (read the full text of the online game Three Kingdoms: The Great Han Heroic Style). Song Taizu exchanged the money for the military power in the hands of the generals. However, the current situation of my Daqi is not the same as that of the previous dynasty. Daqi is surrounded by foreign enemies, if all the generals are dismissed, how to resist foreign enemies? Mu Yi was also touched by Song Zheng's words and said a common-sense question.

"What we want to release is not the power of military generals, but redundant soldiers. Song Taizu released the military power with a glass of wine, making the Great Song Dynasty weak for 200 years, which is naturally not advisable. However, there are too many redundant troops in Daqi. Especially the garrison camps of the state capitals, there is really no need to use so many people. And with the current situation, there is no pro-government in the saint, and the prime minister can't solve the redundant troops by decree at all, let alone those redundant generals. On the contrary, if Xiang Ye can master enough financial resources, he can completely solve the redundant generals by buying. The problem is that Xiang Ye can't control that much money at all now. ”

Song Zheng took it step by step and began to gradually approach his goal.

"On the one hand, the major families hold the lifeblood of Daqi and faintly confront the imperial court, so that Daqi's tax revenue has not been able to grow significantly for many years. On the other hand, the sergeants of Daqi did not receive enough salaries. This is better in Jiangning, but at the local level, the contradictions between the military and the government are very acute. The border army of Daqi is better, and may be able to obtain some military funds through smuggling goods. At the local level, the garrison camps of the state capitals had nothing to do, and relied entirely on the money provided by the imperial court to support them. Once the military pay is insufficient, I am afraid that there will be chaos. These days, I have been reading the newspapers, and from time to time there are remarks about the lack of pay in the local garrison camps. ”

Song Zheng didn't lie. When he was in Mizhou, Lu Hengshan and Zhizhou Hu Tongxue had a dispute over military salaries. When he was in Licheng, Qiao Zhenchuan asked his general Qiao Quan to indulge in smuggling and extract huge profits to make up for military funds. And Song Zheng reads the Di newspaper these days, and the issue of military salary has always had a place on it.

"The eldest prince also knows that when I visited Xiangye a few years ago, I talked with Xiangye for an afternoon. Although it involves more science, I know that Xiangye is a person with great ambitions, and he always thinks about Daqi Haiyan Heqing. Do you know why Xiangye advocates science? That's because among the officials of Daqi, the Jiangnan clan accounts for a large number of people. Xiangye advocates science, but also to unify the thoughts and thoughts of politicians, so as to consolidate the Department of combing Daqi (full text reading of the superbrain system). ”

Song Zheng first put on a high hat for Huang Yuandu, and then said, "However, it is difficult for the prime minister to be in politics. For so many years, even though Xiangye tried his best to use military power, he had little effect. And Xiangye's own support comes from the Jiangnan clans, all of whom are extremely rich, but they have lost the country. So, Xiangye fell into the mud altar. Even if they try their best, they can only compete for one pool and one place, and it is difficult to change the overall situation. ”

Huang Yue said with understanding, "What does Xiao Lang mean is that we take money from the big clan, and then use the money to solve the redundant army?" ”

Song Zheng smiled, "I said so much, it's not as good as the eldest prince's words." ”

Huang Yue said abruptly, "I would have thought about these issues before. Xiaolang doesn't say it, and I don't understand either. ”

"Lord, you must consider these questions now. If a person wants to do great things, he must not only understand the world, but also understand the fortunes of the world. What's more, Ling Zun is the prime minister, in charge of the government of the Great Qi Dynasty. If you want to be valued by Ling Zun, you must look at the problem from Ling Zun's perspective and understand what Xiang Ye thinks. ”

Huang Yue shook his head and said, "I only care about how to kill Huang Song now, I really don't want to worry about these big things." ”

Song Zheng couldn't help but get angry, this Huang Yue person is not stupid, but he is too unambitious, did I say it in vain today?

Mu Yi thought more and said, "Eldest son, what Xiaolang said today, you must know. Only in this way can you be valued by Xiangye and can you achieve great things in the future. ”

"I knew it should be. What Xiaolang just said, I listened to it in my heart. It's just that...... Alas! Huang Yue shook his head, "Xiaolang, you continue." I've never heard of what you're saying today, but I haven't seen the specific means you said. ”

Song Zheng also sighed in his heart. It's a little difficult for a senior gentleman like Huang Yue to do a career. Anyway, these things were originally meant to be told to Huang Yuandu by Huang Yue's mouth. In the future, the growth of Huitong Commerce and Trade will definitely deal with Huang Yuandu through Huang Yue (rebirth with a god space). If Huang Yue doesn't know what to do, he can't achieve the effect if he talks nonsense.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Mu Yi's eyes, but he concealed it well, and just lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Song Zheng let out a sigh of relief, and continued, "In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Brother Huang Feng and Huang are in charge of the Duwei Army; The second son is in charge of the Dark Eagle, that is, the intelligence system. In these two aspects, the eldest prince can't get involved now. Only in terms of management, the Prime Minister does not have such talents. If the eldest prince can make achievements in this regard, he will be able to make up for this shortcoming. What I mean by business is to attack these big families and fundamentally control these big families. They control the economic lifebloodline, and we control them. That is, to control them for Xiangye. In this way, Xiangye will have a lot of peace of mind, and he will also have money to solve the problem of redundant soldiers. In this way, the first step of the eldest prince's competition for favor can be completed. ”

Huang Yue was not very interested in the general trend of the country, and Song Zheng had to explain briefly.

Mu Yi frowned and said, "With the dignity of Xiangye's status, I'm afraid it is difficult to say that he can control these big families, I don't know what Xiaolang can do, how can he actually let the eldest prince do it?" ”

Song Zheng said with a smile, "In addition to countless fertile land, the most critical source of income for several major families is their business. Even though the eldest prince has an annual income of fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, how does it compare to Ji, Dong, Wei and other big families? ”

Huang Yue pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Naturally, it can't be compared, these salt merchants, wine merchants, and money houses, but there are countless silver coins. I remember that the year before last, Ji Yong's nephew came to Beijing to invite me to dinner, and he covered the entire Yuxiang Building, which was really a lot of money. At the time, I was complacent, but I felt a little uncomfortable. Now that I think about it, I realize that this discomfort is because I don't have as much money as the other party. ”

Song Zheng smiled secretly, people know that you have a good face, talk about pomp, and deliberately provide for you. After some praise, you don't know the east, west, north and south, and you don't even think that you are poor.

"Why should Childe be like this. If you can succeed in the following things, even if you buy all the Yuxiang Building and Yuhua Building, why not? ”

Huang Yue's eyes lit up, "What kind of business, can you make so much money?" ”

Song Zheng didn't speak, but took pen and paper from a few cases next to him, studied the ink, and drew it on the paper (the latest chapter of the super different dimension). After a while, Song Zheng unfolded the paper, only to see several parallel horizontal lines drawn on it, and a black dot was dotted in the middle of the horizontal lines. At one end of the horizontal line, the names of salt, wine, and iron are written.

"Hey, what is this?" Huang Yue and Mu Yi both looked at Song Zheng's "ghost painting talisman" curiously.

Song Zheng said, "If an item wants to be sold, it must go through three steps, that is, production, circulation and sales. The reason why these big families can make huge profits is because they control production, and they sell it for much more than they need to produce. For example, for a pound of salt, they only cost five wen to produce, but they have to sell it for fifty wen, almost ten times the profit. Merchants from all over the country bought salt for 50 wen, and then transported it to the place where it was sold, and sold it to the salt shop for 100 wen. After deducting the cost of carriage and horses, you can earn 30 yuan. And if this salt is sold to the people, it will be one hundred and fifty wen. After deducting the cost of 20 yuan, the shop can earn 30 yuan. Do you understand this? ”

Huang Yue and Mu Yi both nodded.

"On the surface, the profit from this pound of salt seems to have been made by different businessmen. This is not the case, many large families not only control production, but also have their own teams of carriages and horses, and their own distribution shops. That is to say, from a pound of salt, the big family earned forty-five plus thirty plus thirty, that is, one hundred and five wen. A pound of salt production only costs five cents, but they earn one hundred and five cents. Even if you pay a tax of ten yuan, it will be ninety-five yuan, which is still nearly a hundred times the profit! ”

Huang Yue's eyes widened, "They can actually make so much money, they are too black-hearted?" ”

Song Zheng shook his head, "This is not the blackest. The blackest thing is that they control the entire salt trade and can raise the price at will. It can rise to the maximum limit that ordinary people can follow. What is table salt? That's a must-eat for everyone. The eldest prince may say, they make so much money, can't they collect more taxes? ”

"Yes, why can't my father tax them, I think, it's good to leave them a profit of thirty wen, and the rest will be handed over to the imperial court (the latest chapter of Qingya)."

Song Zheng shook his head, "It's not easy to talk about!" These big families are more than one Ji family who deals in salt. Rather, it includes many families, which are at odds with each other, but they are united in making money. They have many children of officials in the court and in the localities. If Xiangye wants to get their support and make the decree accessible, he can't raise taxes, and once the taxes are raised, Xiangye's decree may not even be able to get out of Jiangning City. The eldest prince now understands why I just talked about the history of the country? These extended families are deeply entrenched. The history of many big families may be traced back to the Great Song Dynasty and even the previous Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Tang Dynasty, and even the Southern and Eastern Jin Dynasties. Even if there is a change, it is just Zhang San replacing Li Si and Wang Wu replacing Zhao Liu, and the essence of the big family has not changed. ”

Mu Yi and Huang Yue were eye-opening today, they never thought that things would be so complicated.

"In a certain sense, these big families control the entire Great Qi and control the Xiangye, not the Xiangye control the big family. Coupled with the bottomless pit of the military, which uses money, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiangye is trapped in the mud altar just now. Song Zheng sighed, "If Uncle Mu and the eldest prince carefully observe Xiang Ye's way of government, they will find that what Xiang Ye does is always inseparable from this trap." Even Xiangye advocated science, but it was also to treat this ill of Daqi. ”

Through Li Hongniang's various information, the results obtained from the Di newspaper, and the detailed "Taizu Record", coupled with the understanding of history in later generations, Song Zheng was finally able to stand at the height of Huang Yuandu to analyze the problems of Daqi. In fact, since winning the Wu Zhuangyuan Order, Song Zheng's main energy has been spent on analyzing the general trend of the imperial court.

Realizing that he was a little off topic, Song Zheng changed his mouth and said, "To deal with these big families, other methods won't work. Then we will cut off the whole process and control their 'waist' in our hands. ”

Song Zheng took the pen, drew in the middle, connected the black dots on each line, and wrote five big characters underneath: Huitong Commercial and Trade Bank. Then, he threw the pen away, "This is our business!" ”~
