Chapter 216: Willing to Dig Out Money

Yang Ming couldn't help but walk to the window and look down, between which three Wei Wuzi wearing forbidden army armor had already passed under the inn, and rushed in directly as soon as they got off the horse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was another burst of chickens and dogs, and Lu Qianbei even almost started a grand hand-to-hand battle with the three of them, if it weren't for the guards saying that they came to invite Yang Tanhua into the palace to meet them, something would really have happened.

Yang Ming hurriedly went downstairs, not that he wanted to come down, but he always felt a little awkward in the face of Miaoyin, although the little brother was still trembling, while reminiscing about the rough gentleness of the moment just now Yang Ming came to the lobby.

The guard headed by him bowed and politely said: "Yang Tanhua, Your Majesty has a decree, please go to the Taiji Hall to discuss important matters!" ”

It's been less than an hour since I came back.....

Yang Ming was a little speechless, why didn't he say it when he was awarded the official ceremony just now? But after all, the king's order is difficult to disobey, and if he doesn't go, he has to go, so he had to poke his head out of the door, and was a little embarrassed to the leader of the guards, and waited for a long time before asking weakly: "Can you ride a horse?" ”

"Naturally!" The leader had been instructed when he left the palace just now, be sure to do it as soon as possible, obviously it was impossible to ride a sedan chair faster than riding a horse, so he gave his horse to Yang Ming immediately, and did not delay, even if he rode with another guard and took Yang Ming out of the inn.

Riding a horse is actually not difficult, as long as you master the basic riding essentials, although you can't ride fast, at least you can still walk, Yang Ming is now in such a groping stage, fortunately, there is an old driver on the side to guide the learning very fast, and the horse is also a strictly trained war horse, walking basically without Yang Ming's too much command, and slowly walked towards the Forbidden City.

Young.

Tai Chi Temple.

Yang Ming came belatedly.

"Weichen Yang Ming has seen Your Majesty!"

Seeing Yang Ming enter the hall, everyone stopped talking and looked at him in unison.

Jiajing nodded and accepted the etiquette, in fact, all the people in this hall were members of the six departments of the court, and there was no need to be so formal, although they were still in the court, they were no longer as serious as they were in the morning ceremony.

"Yang Ming, it is the intention of the ministers to summon you now, and it is also the meaning of me!" Jiajing smiled at Yang Ming rarely, and then said: "You must also know the situation in the court, and now everyone is waiting for you just to come up with a way to make money!" ”

He looked at Yang Yanhe and the others and continued, "You don't know, the sixth department is not having a good time now. I thought about the more than two million taels of silver that the officials had just received, but this silver was used for other purposes and some emergencies were left, so the silver that could be used for placement was naturally not enough! ”

Having said that, the meaning is already obvious. Since the silver was not enough for so long, he had to find a way, so Yang Ming was invited.

Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "That's right, Yang Ming, you know that the reason for the decline of the army is now that the reason for chasing it lies in this food and salary, and now the border is in a repeated emergency, and there are still Japanese robbers in the coastal area, the old man wanted to use the army, but.... Ay! He sighed. Everyone understands the things in this, no food and no money can only be prevented, since the thirteenth year of Zhengde, the dynasty began to mobilize military households to hoard troops, although it can have some effect, but it has become a void in the place where there is no heavy garrison, and it is only a symptom but not a root cause.

"The old man intends to train a strong army, and the people in the interior are just helpless, no money and no food, and every time I think about it, I can't wait to pick up the lamp and hold the sword in the wilderness!" Liu Daxia and Yang Yanhe are also veterans of the Three Dynasties, and now that they are over the age of six, their beard and hair are all white, they look so depressed at this moment, and he suddenly walked up to Yang Ming and said: "Yang Ming, the old man knows that you are good at money. Can you find a way to make money for the soldiers and people of the world! ”

"Liu Shangshu, what are you talking about?" Mao Ji reminded Liu Daxia, his words have been overstepped, it's not that he is wrong, it's just that for the sake of the world, it is the emperor who can say it, but you are a courtier who said that this sentence is easy to say that you are loyal to the state affairs, but at worst, how can this not buy people's hearts and plot against them?

Fortunately, Jiajing didn't care, and still looked at Yang Ming to see how he would meet.

......

Yang Ming only felt that his head was suddenly big!

Feelings: These bigwigs are looking for money for themselves! Yang Ming was helpless for a while, but in his mind he was thinking about what method to use to solve this problem.

You know, it's not an individual who asks for money. It's six, it's the six of the entire Ming Dynasty, even if it's thousands of taels of silver, I'm afraid it's not enough for them to spend!

"It's a bit of a trick!" Yang Ming thought for a while and said a sentence slowly.

Feeling a little tricky?

I can hear the sound outside the strings! Just because it's hard doesn't mean it can't be done!

It's just a matter of difficulty, but is it harder than being hungry? Is it harder than being asked for money all day long? Is it difficult to watch a foreign provocation and be powerless to resist?

So it's not that hard. As long as it can be done, even if these people are asked to kill people, they will not hesitate to do it, because every mouth and eye is staring at them, and being an official is involuntarily!

"Yang Ming has a way, you might as well say it directly, as for the difficulties, you don't need to worry!" Jiang Mian said with a smile: "The old man and the others are not corpse vegetarians, not to mention that you must know that this matter is not a matter of one person, but the entire court and the entire Ming Dynasty, you seem to be troublesome, maybe it is not troublesome." The difference is just a matter of cumbersomeness! ”

When Yang Ming heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed!

As Jiang Mian said, the things that he himself often finds difficult are actually not difficult for many people, such as the matter of spirits at the beginning, he only thought of Uszang, that is because Shuzhong is the closest to Uszang, although he also mentioned the Western Regions and other places, but those places he almost never dreamed that in this era of difficult transportation, a jar of cottage spirits blended with artificial alcohol would be sold so far.

But in fact, the spirits in Shu were not only sold to the Western Regions, but also to Goryeo and even further away places and countries, and a steady stream of local specialties and silver were used to buy the spirits in Shu, and more than one million taels of taxes came out of it.

"Not bad! Yang Ming has all the difficulties to say, now the six Shangshu, Shilang and other principals are in the hall, even if we can't solve it, there is still His Majesty in the hall! Yang Yanhe was already a little numb to Yang Ming, what this young man did was simply bigger than the other, and one by one was more amazing, you must know that this time there was no need to think about it at all, without three million taels of silver, he would never be in urgent need at all, but he really seemed to have a way.

Everyone looked at Yang Ming, anxiously watching him walk around the Taiji Hall, and finally stopped next to a pillar head for deep thought.

The crows were silent, afraid of disturbing Yang Ming's thinking.

.....

After a long time, Yang Ming raised his head and walked back to everyone with a slight gain.

"As the so-called take from the people for the people, our dynasty has had very little grain since Taizu, especially the commercial tax is only an unprecedented fifteen draws!" Yang Ming suddenly spoke.

But when he said this, the hearts of several bigwigs just now were cold!

It seems that Yang Ming wants to make up his mind on those wealthy businessmen, but businessmen and businessmen are too hurtful! As the saying goes, no treacherous is not a businessman, no business is not a treacherous! Since he is a businessman, although his social status is underground, but he has not touched the national development, is he copying his house for no reason? It's harder than heaven to get them to willingly take the money out of their bags!

Although there is no hope anymore, they still listen to what Yang Ming says next.

"Fifteen out of one, or lightly pay for the meager endowment, then this has created some places such as fertile land and relative wealth, such as Yangzhou, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the two lakes..... These places are born to be the land of fish and rice, and both the people and the merchants are very rich, as Yang Gong said in his early years, this is the real wealth of the people! Yang Ming smiled: "The kid once heard a story, which seems to be a joke in Yangzhou." ”

A farmer's son had reached the age of marriage and wanted to talk about their family, and the woman was reluctant to dislike the dilapidated house of their family, so the farmer was angry and led the woman's parents to the pigsty on the spot. And those copper coins have almost become moldy because they have been buried for too long! ”

Yang Ming looked at everyone's expressions after telling the story, but everyone felt that it was normal and did not show surprised expressions.

Only Jiajing asked with some curiosity: "Since the money in this farmer's family is moldy, why is there no money available in the treasury?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Yang Ming said: "This is to hide wealth from the people!" Although the treasury is empty, but our Ming Dynasty, except for some really poor places, because of the difficulty of land production, other places are actually not poor, this is actually our Ming Dynasty, in other dynasties, the excesses and miscellaneous taxes cost people's lives, where is the surplus money buried in the pigsty? ”

"And what do you mean?" Yang Yanhe narrowed his eyes, this will he finally hear a little famous, it turns out that Yang Ming said that the focus is on this hidden wealth of the people, although he does not know where Yang Ming's calculations are, but he believes that Yang Ming already has an idea.

Sure enough, Yang Ming smiled: "And my method is to let these rich people willingly pay some money out, you must know that the population of my dynasty is hundreds of millions, even if one person takes out half a tael of silver, it is five thousand taels of silver, of course, this is just an analogy, I want to say that even if only one percent of people are willing to pay silver, then we can make up five hundred taels, this is just a conservative estimate!" ”

"But how do you get them to pay for it willingly?" Yan Song, who spoke, this person is not a fool, how could he be willing to pay for it?

Almost everyone has such questions, if it is a strong liquor or a coal stove, it is better to say, at least it can be drunk and used, but think about how many people Yang Ming wants an adult in the world to pay for that thing, even if it is just a needle, how many people will polish it?

"Kid naturally has a way!" Yang Ming smiled mysteriously and said to Huang Jin: "Father-in-law Huang, I have to bother you to help the kid get a piece of paper!" ”
