"Your Majesty, the minister has a small suggestion. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Luo Yi thought for a while and said.
Li Shimin said: "You tell me carefully. ”
Luo Yi said: "That's the case, Your Majesty, since the title of Captain General will make people think about it, then don't want this title, without a title, I can still manage the business bureau well." ”
Li Shimin said: "You mean... Doing things for me as a white coat? ”
Luo Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you don't feel like it, you might as well give the minister a token or something, with that token, I can do things easily, although nominally it is not a senior official, but in fact it is almost the same." ”
"Good idea."
Li Shimin said: "Then you tell me carefully, how do you manage this chamber of commerce?" ”
Luo Yi already knew the purpose of Li Shimin's opening of the Chamber of Commerce, but he just wanted to make more money through this, so as to enrich the treasury; If you want to say anything else, Luo Yi may not be able to do it, but if you want to make money, Luo Yi still has some ways.
"Your Majesty, how to manage the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, I have already thought about it, starting from Huainan, I will personally go to Huainan to wipe out the salt merchants in Huainan, that is the bulk of the tax, as long as the salt merchants fall, the rest will be easy to do."
After thinking about it, Luo Yi said again: "However, your majesty, if you want to enrich the treasury with this, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, although there are many taxes, but it is not enough to fill the big hole in the treasury." ”
Li Shimin said with a wry smile: "It is true to say that the treasury is a big pit, it is often beyond the means of making ends meet over the years, and no matter how much money you get, you can't afford to spend it." Luo Yi, I know you are a good hand at catching money, but is there any good way to make up for it? ”
Good at grabbing money? Of course, it refers to the world-famous drunken fairy wine.
However, even if the Drunken Immortal Residence makes more money, it is still too small for a huge empire, and the income is only a drop in the bucket, which is not enough to fill it.
"Your Majesty, the way to make up for it is not something that can be figured out in a day or two, the minister will definitely think about it carefully after he goes back, and then report to the emperor when he has paid attention."
Luo Yi arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what about the Chamber of Commerce...?" ”
"The business of the Chamber of Commerce is still the same, since I promised you, I will definitely do it."
Li Shimin returned to his seat and sat down, suddenly raised his head and said: "But as you said, giving you an official position will make the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee dissatisfied, and it is not easy to explain it to the scholars in the world. ”
"But I said ugly things in the front, no matter what method you use, whether it is to investigate the tax evasion of merchants, or to make profits in goods, within two years, you must hand over at least 400,000 silver to the national treasury, can you do it?"
"Yes, yes... Your Majesty, don't worry. ”
It's only 400,000, Luo Yi didn't even think about it, not to mention that there is a dragon brand to act cheaply to investigate tax evasion, even if it is with his own ability, or to promote drunken immortal wine, he can almost earn this number in two years. Besides, there is really no new world, and once it is developed, it will be a big cash cow. Of course, even if he is doing things for the imperial court, of course Luo Yi will not do loss-making transactions, public is public, private is private, and the money in his pocket will not be taken out in vain.
Li Shimin said: "Okay, since you agreed, then I can rest assured." ”
"You go back first, and I'll let you know after I consult with the ministers."
"Yes, Weichen retired."
............
Lu State Mansion.
In the courtyard, Cheng Yanjin is practicing swordsmanship with Cheng Liang, you come and go, fighting for dozens of rounds.
"Luo family boy, don't come unharmed."
"Uncle Cheng, what about sword practice?"
Luo Yi walked into the courtyard of the Lu Guogong Mansion and saw Cheng Biting Jin Zheng dancing with a long sword and fighting Cheng Liang.
Luo Yi watched from the sidelines and chuckled: "Uncle, I remember that you have always liked to drink, why do you also like to practice martial arts?" It won't be this time when I come back from the Western Expedition, I feel embarrassed, my martial arts are not as high as my eldest brother, so I practice hard. ”
Luo Yi came, Cheng Yanjin also stopped with Cheng Liang, both of them wiped their sweat, Cheng Yanjin said: "I don't care, the main thing is Cheng Liang, this kid is too stupid, if you don't exercise well, you will go to the battlefield in the future, and some will suffer." ”
"Look at your Uncle Qin, Uncle Wei Chi, and even the deceased Shan family, and... Anyway, in our generation, which of the sons taught is not strong in martial arts, even Yu Chi Baolin's kid is brighter than the process, if you don't practice well, you will be looked down upon in the future. Especially Luo Tong, who is undoubtedly invincible in the world, even me... Ahem, even I'm a little close. ”
Luo Yi smiled, where is it a little bit, it is all up to the sky, but Luo Yi didn't say this, he came to Luo's Mansion today to ask for something.
"Hey, by the way, what are you doing here? There's nothing to ask me to help again, is it? ”
"Where, where, it's just a little thing."
Everyone walked into the hall, and Luo Yi asked casually, "Uncle, how is Li Daozong's matter?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "It's still in Sleepy Yang City, the emperor has been busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce during this time, and he has no time to pay attention to him, and it is estimated that he will be locked up for half a year." ”
"Doesn't the emperor know about his plots?"
"So what? The emperor is deliberately partial, even if there is real evidence, I don't think he will necessarily be condemned. So, I advise you not to go against the emperor, don't hold on to Li Daozong, what the emperor doesn't want to do, it's best not to force it, otherwise, it will be counterproductive. ”
Luo Yi said: "I know this, I just said it casually, I came here today, not to talk about him." ”
"And you're...?"
In the hall, in addition to Cheng Yanjin and Luo Yi, there are also two little maids serving tea, and Cheng Liang who is constantly wiping his sweat.
"You two go down first."
"Yes."
After the two little maids left, Luo Yi said, "Uncle, I want to ask, how powerful is this dragon card?" If you see the dragon card, do you want to salute? ”
Dragon?
Cheng Yanjin was taken aback and asked, "Do you have a dragon card?" ”
Luo Yi waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "No, no, how can I have a dragon card, just ask casually." ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Then you say, if I see the emperor, do I need to salute?" ”
"Of course."
Cheng Biting Jin said: "That's it, the dragon card is the emperor, the emperor is the dragon card Seeing the dragon card is like seeing the emperor, it is more powerful than Shang Fang's sword, and has the power of life and death." Don't say it's me, even if it's the prince, you have to salute when you see it. ”
"That's right..."
A smile appeared on the corner of Luo Yi's mouth.
The dragon card is estimated to be comparable to Qin Qiong's golden mace, Cheng Jin's golden axe, and Wei Chigong's golden whip, with the power of life and death, even the prince has to be taboo, and who can not be afraid, it should be more majestic than the official level.
