After Li Ji and his brother Li Gong hastily buried Li Gu, they left Da Zhou.

He didn't ask Ye Hua for one million guan, but only took one hundred thousand, and the two hundred warriors also refused, and he selected twenty people from among the young people of the Li family.

As a big family, Li Gu has a lot of children, nephews and grandchildren. Although Li Gu's case did not implicate the younger generation's family, it was also very difficult for the son of a corrupt official to gain a foothold, and he could not pass the imperial examination alone.

Li Ji made it very clear to them that you can stay in Da Zhou and live a good life, or go to the Wa Kingdom with him, carry your head, and fight for a way out with your life.

After three days of thinking, more than 20 people finally stood up.

Li Ji was not in a hurry to leave, he gathered twenty people together, went to the barracks for training, and spent money on muskets.

According to the rules of the imperial court, ordinary people can apply for arquebuses, and they only need to submit a detailed application for use and pay a huge amount of money.

In order to buy weapons, Li Ji spent a full 30,000 yuan.

The children of the Li family have all read, they have received a full set of military training, and in about three months, they already have eyebrows. During this time, Li Ji purchased three more ships and also recruited a group of sailors.

100,000 guan spent most of the ...... It wasn't until he felt that it was almost time that he took his family and set off for the Wa Kingdom.

This kid is very shrewd, and he set off at exactly the same time as Chai Shouli's fleet, so that he can use Chai Shouli's majesty to ensure safety.

Even if you encounter pirates, or wind and waves, you will not lose your life......

"Dad, look at it, I'll do a vigorous career!"

Li Ji shouted at the vast sea, like a madman, shouting exhausted and his mouth was dry, and then he lay on the deck again, looking at the blue sky, his thoughts were very confused.

Among the young people who entered the ranks with him, among the second-generation children, there are Wei Xianmei, Fan Gao, including Liu Kai and so on...... There are a lot of them, and they are all steadily improving their official positions, but because of their father's involvement, they have to die overseas, and they don't know if they will meet in the future!

Look, one day, I'll use piles of gold to smash you to death!

Li Ji smirked, picked up his father's booklet, read it carefully, and absorbed the nutrients in it, whether it was written by Li Gu or Ye Hua's instructions, they were all the most outstanding money players in the world.

Not everyone has access to advanced financial knowledge, Li Ji felt as if he was holding a map to wealth, and on the last page of the booklet, there was indeed a map, drawn by Ye Hua, who marked the location of several large gold and silver mines.

If the kid has the means and luck, in a few years, his goal of earning 30 million taels will not be difficult to achieve...... Ye Hua really hopes that he can succeed, and it is a big, big kind.

It's not because of Li Gu's relationship, but Ye Hua's willingness to support anyone who has the courage to open up.

According to many people's opinions, it seems that as long as the emperor is wise and wise, the ministers are honest and honest, and the people are industrious, they will be able to enter a prosperous world in a few decades, and then it will be enough to shine in the annals of history.

All dynasties and dynasties have also come over like this!

For this kind of thought, Ye Hua scoffed.

It is precisely because of this that for 2,000 years, it has been going around and around, and it has not been able to get out of the cycle of chaos.

Never underestimate the hard work of the people, let alone the ability of the Han people to create wealth.

Grain, cloth, more and more commodities appeared, and there was an urgent need for enough money to denominate them.

In the society of the Great Zhou, about ninety percent are still farmers, and due to the implementation of land equalization in some areas, small farmers occupy the vast majority, chasing the rise and killing the fall, blindly following, scattered, and inefficient...... It is very difficult to manage such rural areas.

Without enough money to support it, the imperial court was unable to regulate the economy at all.

"In the past, the imperial court believed in the old ministers too much!"

Wei Xianmei said unceremoniously: "Among the three divisions, salt and iron are also listed as a separate item and regarded as the main source of wealth, which is simply stupid!" In fact, in the finance and taxation of the Great Zhou, three years ago, the commercial tax accounted for 30%, and now it has climbed to 40% and 5, and the rest of the land transfer, mine development, and overseas trade occupy nearly 20%, and the traditional land endowment is only more than 30%! ”

Wei Xianmei knocked on the table and criticized loudly, "In this case, it is wise for the imperial court to abolish the three divisions, but after abolishing the three divisions, it actually returned to the six-ministry system, and led all the finance, taxation and civil affairs with the household department Shangshu, so many things, entrusted to one person!" I don't even know what Your Majesty is thinking! ”

Listening to his son's increasingly rampant words, Wei Renpu was so angry that he scolded, "Rabbit cub, you finally came back, and you made a lot of nonsense, and the saint is also something you can talk about?" What should I do with the official system of the imperial court, let alone what you can beak, do you kid see that your father is living too happily, and look forward to letting me go with Li Gu as a companion? ”

Wei Xianmei hurriedly shrunk her neck when she heard this, and she didn't dare not speak.

It's just that in his heart, he doesn't think so, he is very unconvinced, after a few years of experience, he feels more and more that the Great Zhou is different from the previous dynasties, but the official system of the court has not been adjusted accordingly.

It's like a person, with a huge body but only a small head, slow and clumsy, very inappropriate.

After holding back a meal, Wei Xianmei spoke again, "Dad, don't say anything else, I estimate that there will be four Shangshu and eight waiters for the financial and tax account!" ”

"Fart!"

Wei Renpu scolded: "The six departments add up to six Shangshu, do you plan to let all four of them go to the household department?" ”

Wei Xianmei argued: "I don't care who goes, the household department is to reform...... First of all, we must take out the degree branch, be responsible for planning the budget and supervise the financial operation, secondly, we must take out the commercial tax and levy it separately, and thirdly, there are so many coal mines and iron mines in the country, and there must be special personnel to manage them. ”

He counted on his fingers, is it four departments, and four scholars are needed?

Wei Renpu listened silently, what his son said was actually reasonable, whether it was the political hall or the cabinet, he could feel that the burden of the household department was getting heavier and heavier, and there were more and more things to manage.

For every tax, the household department has to increase personnel, and the original court gave so many customizations, but the household department can only recruit people from the outside to fill the number, making it very embarrassing that it is not official or popular.

More officials are necessary, but now is not the time to mention them.

"Stinky boy, Your Majesty has arrested hundreds of people during this time, all of them are Li Gu's henchmen, it seems that they are nine deaths and one life. You must not mess around now, Daddy will find a way to operate and put you in a good position! In this way, you have almost experienced it, and I am ready to let you go to the Hanlin Academy! ”

"What?" Wei Xianmei was shocked, "What are you doing in Hanlin Academy?" I don't want to be around a bunch of sour pedants! ”

"Shut up!" Wei Renpu felt more and more that his son was difficult to manage, the Hanlin Academy had no power, but it could get close to His Majesty the Emperor, how many people climbed up from the Hanlin Bachelor and worshiped the prime minister!

The son has enough experience outside, and he needs to recuperate in the noble Hanlin Academy, and when he has enough qualifications, he can be elected to the cabinet and become the prime minister of a country.

"Daddy!" Wei Xianmei was not convinced at all, "What years have you been, and you still use your old brains to look at problems." You see, after the imperial court handled the Li Gu case, it must completely reform the official system and vigorously promote the new policy. It was the time when the hero had made great achievements, and he ran to the Hanlin Academy, and he didn't know what to say! ”

"Shut up, shut up!"

Wei Renpu was so angry that his lungs exploded, "You don't have to say anything, everything is arranged for your father!" You just have to be honest and obedient! ”

Wei Xianmei lowered her head, her eyes rolled wildly, let me be obedient, don't think!

They are the younger generation, so they will not be at the mercy of the elders, and they even feel that the princes in the court are too old to keep up with the changes of the times.

The construction of roads in Bashu was originally a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but the princes of the court and the central government obstructed it in every possible way, and Luzon Island had fallen into the hands of the Great Zhou, full of golden treasures, but it was impossible to vigorously immigrate, and Annam, which was obviously fertile for thousands of miles, but did not know how to develop.

It's too much of a hindrance to let these old decays take power.

Wei Xianmei got up to go back to the study with disdain, and at this time, the family ran in and whispered: "Xiangye, the champion Hou is here!" He said about the reform of the bureaucratic system and wanted to talk to Xiangye! ”
