Late at night on April 1 of the third year of Jianning, Liu Hong's bedroom was still brightly lit.

Liu Hong put the fold in his hand still on the desk, rubbed his head and muttered, "Money, money, money, the money in the treasury is really not enough!" ”

On March 26, the Qingzhou earthquake led to frequent tsunamis, and Donglai County, which is close to the sea in Qingzhou, and Beihai suffered heavy losses.

After receiving the report, Liu Hong immediately transferred his husband Yu Guo's grain and grass to millions of stones, sent it to Qingzhou for disaster relief, and ordered the cabinet Guanglu Xun Yang to enter Qingzhou to preside over disaster relief.

The advent of this natural disaster has caused the state treasury, which had just had some deposits, to once again be in a situation of being short of money.

After worrying for a while, Liu Hong began to think about countermeasures, this northern war now only needs grain and grass, and there is not much shortage of money, but the post-war pension is a large amount of money expenditure.

If the occupied Goguryeo territory could not be converted into real money, then the national treasury would collapse completely.

Why do front-line soldiers fight to the death? It's not that the pension given by Liu Hong can make these soldiers not have to worry about what happens after their deaths!

If the imperial court does not take out the pension, it will not be much, but if it is not taken out this time, the imperial court will lose its trust in the front-line soldiers, and who will fight to the death at that time?

At this moment, a small yellow door ran in and said, "Your Majesty, report on the battle in the north." ”

Hearing this, Liu Hong hurriedly said, "Hurry up." ”

Li Hao handed over the battle report to Liu Hong, Liu Hong hurriedly opened it, and when he saw the content of the battle report, Liu Hong smiled happily, and won the first battle, which is a good sign.

However, what made Liu Hong happiest were those prisoners, at this time the canal had been completed and was being dug to the north, and these captives could start from Youzhou and dig from north to south, which could greatly slow down the excavation time of the Grand Canal.

However, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and the Grand Canal is a matter of merit in the present and benefit in the future, but it cannot solve the shortage of money in the treasury at this time.

Immediately, Liu Hong put away the smile on his face, frowned again, and groaned slightly, Liu Hong muttered, "Do you want to issue treasury bonds?" ”

Suddenly, Liu Hong heard a sound of footsteps, and saw a small yellow door running in and saying, "Your Majesty, Cao Teng, the president of the Dahan Royal Bank, asks to see you." ”

What is he doing at this time? Immediately Liu Hongdao "Xuan"

"No"

After a while, Cao Teng walked into the dormitory, and then hurriedly saluted, "Minister Cao Teng greets Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong looked at Cao Teng, a light flashed in his mind, and said with a smile, "Ji Xing, what's the important thing to come here at this time?" ”

Cao Teng's face was slightly happy and said, "Your Majesty, the Dahan Arena has been completed, and the first horse race is also a success. ”

The Dahan Arena was expanded and renovated on the basis of the original competition venue in the west of Luoyang City, and it is not surprising that the future Dahan Sports and some military parades will be held here.

Hearing Cao Teng's statement that Marseille had already tried once, Liu Hong hurriedly said, "How much do you earn?" ”

"Go back to Your Majesty and earn a total of 500,000 yuan."

Liu Hong nodded secretly when he heard this number, although after that, this number will decrease, but there will still be 200,000 yuan each time, and when Marseille is implemented to the entire Han Dynasty, Liu Hong believes that the number of 1 million yuan each time will still be there.

That is, in the future, Marseille alone will increase the income of the treasury by 30 million dollars a year, which is not a small amount of money.

Then Liu Hong smiled and said, "Ji Xingju has made a great contribution to this matter!" ”

"This matter was facilitated by His Majesty, and the specific implementation was also the responsibility of Cao Ying, the director of 'consumption and entertainment', and the minister did not dare to take credit." Cao Teng said humbly.

Seeing this, Liu Hong smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, I know it in my heart." Immediately, Liu Hong pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Ji Xing, how many deposits does Dahan Royal Bank have at this time?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, 4.5 billion dollars."

Liu Hong frowned when he heard this, and said, "How can it be so little?" ”

Cao Teng heard the words and explained, "Your Majesty, those great families do not fully trust the Dahan Royal Bank, so they only take out the money from ordinary transactions and deposit it into the Dahan Royal Bank in exchange for silver bills to use as their disciples. ”

"In other words, my plan to gather the wealth of the world did not succeed?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Hong heard the words and said secretly: "How is this good? If it is the money saved by the major families, I can temporarily embezzle it, but the money exchanged for silver tickets by this family is not easy to use! If it is used, it will lead to inflation. ”

Then Liu Hong simply said his troubles, "Ji Xing, the Northern Expedition army is fighting, although it doesn't need money at this time, but after the victory of the army, the reward and pension is a lot of money, at this time, the money of the treasury is sent to the disaster area, there is really no money to use, what can I do?" ”

When Cao Teng heard this, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take out the money from the bank?" ”

Liu Hong smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then explained the inflation roughly.

Cao Teng was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, if he took out the money from the bank, then it would not cause the collapse of the bank!

Immediately, Cao Teng muttered slightly, "Your Majesty, can you expand the scale of the fried tea?" ”

Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said secretly, "How could I forget such a good way to make money." Then he said, "Ji Xing, after you go back, Ming Yue will inform the major commercial houses of Dahan that I want to elect the tea agents of the major states." ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the acting person?"

"The person who acts as an agent is to sell to the states on behalf of the East Factory, for example, those who obtain the agent of Yuzhou, the rest of the people are not allowed to sell tea to Yuzhou, if they are found, I should be severely punished. However, the agent is not easy to get, the agent needs to buy, the money is more, and the agency period is five years. The agent may set the price at his own discretion, but it shall not be higher or less than twice the price of the subordinate. ”

Cao Teng thought for a while, and finally figured it out, Liu Hong couldn't wait to replace it with Cao Ying, a person who knew what to do.

After explaining the matter of agency, Liu Hong saw that Cao Teng had not yet retreated, so he secretly patted his head, how could this Cao Teng come late at night to report on the Marseille incident.

Immediately, Liu Hong secretly recalled Cao Teng's words just now, and finally figured out why Cao Teng came late at night.

So Liu Hong smiled and said, "Aiqing has something to say, it's okay to be outspoken. ”

Cao Teng bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Cao Ying, the director of 'consumption and entertainment', has made a lot of meritorious contributions in the matter of Marseille, whether to transfer it to the local area for some training." ”

Liu Hong couldn't help but secretly applaud Cao Teng's choice of this point in time, at this time the Qingzhou disaster is in the midst of disaster relief, and it is the best time to go to Qingzhou as an official at this time, and this Cao Ying has just made a meritorious service, so he naturally wants to choose an official position that can be rewarded.

Knowing that there were many people vying for this place in the early morning, he came late at night, and he was really a cunning old fox.

Immediately, Liu Hong smiled and said, "Cao Ying, the director of 'Consumption and Entertainment', has made a lot of contributions this time, and moved to Huang County. ”

Cao Teng was stunned, completely stunned. Seeing this, the corners of Liu Hong's mouth curled slightly, hehe, Cao Ying, I value you very much, don't let me down!
