Renta narrowed her eyes as she followed, emitting a fierce light.

After a while, he was stunned and said, "Prime Minister, when this year's food crisis passes, I will definitely have to farm well next year." ”

Lenta nodded and said, "Holy Lord, please rest assured. The minister will definitely work hard in this regard. ”

Na nodded and said: "Since those Han people don't like farming, let's charge him less taxes, so that they can also make a little money." ”

"Holy Wisdom!" Renta said.

The stunned laughed twice and said, "It's not that I'm wise, but forced by the situation!" ”

Lenta said: "Holy Lord, the minister also thinks the same, if you don't give these Han people a little oil and water, they will not be willing to farm. ”

Na nodded and said, "If you want to give, give more, don't let them hesitate." Just give them a two-year discount. ”

"It's Your Majesty, the minister remembers." Renta nodded.

"Also, you let the soldiers and civilians of the desert step up the feeding of cattle and sheep, and in the future, the whole court, including my palace, will eat meat. Save food for the army. He said in a daze.

"Holy Wisdom." Renta said, leaning down.

That faint smile, in fact, he couldn't laugh at all, you see his smile disappeared in an instant.

At this time, Lenta said: "Your Majesty, there are also small workshops and shops that should be lightened, so that the goods can be circulated, and as long as the goods are circulated, then the merchants will have profits, and if they have profits, there will be more people who will open shops and workshops." The more people who set up shops and workshops, the more tax revenue we have. At that time, we only need to add a little bit of tax payment, and then we will have much more income than we do now. Holy Lord, do you think, is this more than ten taels of silver for each merchant, or more than one tael for each merchant of a thousand merchants? ”

He was stunned and said: "Naturally, one or two taels of silver for a thousand households is more." ”

"So, Holy Lord, we can't just see this bit of silver in front of us, we have to keep our eyes far away, like an eagle in the desert. This is a long-term development plan. Otherwise, our heavy taxes will force these merchants to death, and they will not even be able to collect a penny at that time. Renta went on to talk about his reform of the tax system for business and industry.

Na stunned and nodded, and asked, "I know all the things you said, but there is a problem!" ”

"Holy Lord, please speak." Renta said.

He was stunned and said, "Prime Minister, your suggestion is very good, I know this." But Prime Minister, you have ignored the financial pressure of the imperial court. I have heard that the treasury is now unable to make ends meet, and if you are cutting taxes aggressively, won't the treasury start to run short? ”

Renta nodded and said, "It is indeed a thorny problem for the Holy Lord to say this, but the minister thinks so. In order to compensate for the loss of tax revenue, the minister thought that he could increase the amount of annual tribute to the ten kingdoms in the west, and of course to Goryeo in the northeast. Their years will also be aggravated. ”

He was stunned and said: "Prime Minister, some of these countries are poorer than our Dayang Dynasty, and the original annual offerings cannot be handed over in time, and they have to make a blank slip and hand them over next year or something." Especially that Goryeo is the most scoundrel, I have been beating them for two years, and in the first year, I gave me a young man's offering, and I also found all kinds of reasons. What a headache for me. ”

Hearing this, Renta smiled and said, "Holy Lord, do you think these countries are poor? Actually, no, these countries are just unwilling to pay tribute to the saints. Naturally, he found all sorts of reasons. Therefore, the minister suggested that the Holy One could send messengers stationed in each country to live in the country for a long time and supervise the country's economy and income. In this way, they will not dare to cheat. ”

After listening to Lenta's words, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, this is a solution, why didn't I think of it before?" ”

Lenta smiled and said, "The Holy Lord believes in these vassal states too much. ”

"Hmm!" Na nodded again and said: "It seems that it is not enough to just hold the armies of these countries, we also have to hold their economies and their incomes." ”

"It's the Holy One, and this is a strategy of the ministers, to seize the income of these countries. When the time comes, they want to rely on Sui Gong, and they can't rely on it. Renta said with a faint smile.

"Okay, you should hurry up and do this, and at the end of this year, let these countries hand over all the arrears. Otherwise, I will remove someone's power. Foster another obedient regime. He said in a daze. Such a big matter must be decided by him, the emperor.

The forum was stunned and agreed, and his heart was also very happy, this is a strategy he wanted to stay for a long time to come up with. It is not known whether the emperor will agree. It's not risk-free. Once they anger the people in power in these countries, they unite and rebel en masse, which is not easy to do. If there is no containment of the Han army, it is better to say that the regimes of these countries are destroyed.

Now, with a powerful Han army in their containment, they can't use extra troops to suppress it. That's what Renta fears, too. However, for the sake of the Great Yang Dynasty, this road must be taken.

The next thing to think about is how to ensure that these countries are not forced to rebel.

Now, that stunned has not scrupled on this. In his eyes, these small countries are just a swarm of ants, and no matter how they hold together, they can't resist him stepping on them.

This is the arrogance of the Tatars, or rather the stunned himself.

And this is something that Renta has to think about, and it has to be avoided. Otherwise, the tribute did not increase. Not to come. Instead, these countries rebelled. Then this result will have to be borne by Lunta. When the time comes, beheading is indispensable.

However, on the other hand, once it succeeds, it will also be a miracle! When the time comes, there will be no disobedience to him in the entire court. And his prime minister's position will become more stable.

Therefore, he must be careful to do this. You can't make a mistake. At this time, he really took over the job, and it was really like walking on the edge of a knife. If one is not careful, he will cut off his own feet. It's dangerous.

However, in his heart, Lenta is also as arrogant as that stunned, feeling that these small countries have no strength to dare to rebel. Even if they were united, they would be able to level them with an army of 200,000 troops.

Therefore, he feels that the success rate of this strategy is still very high.

Thinking about it this way, it is not a risky thing. It's a success. His heart was full of joy.
