Chapter 191: Three Strategies for Raising Money I
Seeing such a change, not only everyone panicked, but even Emperor Li Yi panicked, just now it was fine, this Cui Xianggong suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, which really caught everyone in the palace off guard.
Yang Yan reacted the fastest, and shouted outside the hall: "Come on, quickly go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask the doctor to come and treat Cui Xianggong, and see what happened to Cui Xianggong?" ”
The waiter waiting outside the hall immediately hurried away, and Li Yi, who came back to his senses, immediately ordered the waiter to carry Cui Xin to the side hall, and ordered people to open the windows for ventilation and so on, so it was a lot of chaos.
After two quarters of an hour, the Imperial Physician Department Cheng hurriedly came to the Yanying Palace, went straight to the side hall, and after a short time of diagnosis and treatment, the Department Cheng came to Li Yu and knelt on the ground, "Qi Qi Guan's family, the humble official has been diagnosed and treated, Cui Xianggong's pulse is slight, the evil spirit is slowing down, and the skin is un......kind."
Hearing that this doctor was such a mother-in-law, Li Yi immediately became anxious and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, just say it straight, what's wrong with Cui Xianggong?" ”
After listening to the emperor's words, he stopped talking nonsense, "No, according to the humble officials, Cui Xianggong is afraid that he has suffered a stroke." "After the Imperial Doctor's Department finished the confession, he went to the apse to treat Cui Xin by himself.
Listening to the words of the Imperial Physician Department, the high-ranking officials present immediately began to exchange heads, this auspicious king Li Bao is so powerful, a few words scolded the prime minister of the political hall for a stroke.
What a sharp tongue! It's just that no countermeasures have been agreed upon to raise money now, but the prime minister has fallen. Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't speak, and the calm was terrible for a while.
At this point, Yang Yan was also a little worried about Li Bao. He scolded Cui Xin in a few words, coupled with the rectification of Lu Xi a few months ago, the limelight of Li Bao, the king of Ji, was too strong. But in this way, the prime minister in the political hall will only hate Li Bao even more, and his future situation is only worrying.
Although he is Li Bao's nominal teacher, Yang Yan must worship Li Bao as his teacher in terms of governance and financial management. In the past, when their master and apprentice were together, Yang Yan could always get a lot of inspiration from some of Li Bao's inadvertent words.
Seeing such a change, not only everyone panicked, but even Emperor Li Yi panicked, just now it was fine, this Cui Xianggong suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, which really caught everyone in the palace off guard.

At this point, Yang Yan was also a little worried about Li Bao. He scolded Cui Xin in a few words, coupled with the rectification of Lu Xi a few months ago, the limelight of Li Bao, the king of Ji, was too strong. But in this way, the prime minister in the political hall will only hate Li Bao even more, and his future situation is only worrying.
Although he is Li Bao's nominal teacher, Yang Yan must worship Li Bao as his teacher in terms of governance and financial management. In the past, when their master and apprentice were together, Yang Yan could always get a lot of inspiration from some of Li Bao's inadvertent words.
Today's situation is urgent, in order to reverse Li Bao's perception among many ministers, Yang Yan thought that Li Bao must show his talent in governing and managing money here.
So Yang Yan came out and said: "Qiqi official, the reason why today's old minister asked King Ji to participate in this court meeting is because King Ji has already had a good plan to raise money. ”
As soon as Yang Yan finished speaking, everyone raised their heads in surprise, this king Ji who is skilled in business actually has the ability to govern the country, and the important ministers and high-ranking officials in this palace have no good way, he can come up with a better way for a prince who is only sixteen years old?
Li Yi was upset about Cui Xin's stroke, and when he heard that Li Bao had a plan to raise money, he suddenly became interested. "Rokuro has any good plans, hurry up and say it."
Li Bao glanced at Yang Yan and said helplessly: "Do you have this method of raising money, I do have it, but I don't know what the officials and the ministers and envoys plan to do?" To what extent? ”
Hearing Li Bao say this, everyone was interested. Wang Duo said loudly: "What the king means is that I don't understand it very well. ”
Li Bao shrugged his shoulders and said: "This matter is going to be a long story, so let me make a long story short, I have three strategies for raising money." These three strategies, there are long-term strategies, medium-term strategies, and short-term strategies, I don't know which one you want to hear? ”
Pei Tan listened to Li Bao's words, and was unconvinced, he had studied for more than ten years, and he had a long time in the sea and rich experience before he could achieve the position of prime minister of the political affairs hall.
He smiled: "I can't see that King Ji is so knowledgeable, and he is also talented in governing the country." I want to hear what is the long-term strategy, what is the medium-term strategy, and what is the short-term strategy? ”
"This long-term strategy is to reformulate the salt and iron transshipment system, does Pei Xianggong still want to hear it?"
Pei Tan sneered and said: "Yo, King Ji is so big, this salt and iron transshipment system is the first time that Liu Yanxiang made it public, and then experienced the governance of Li Zhu, Wang Bo and other sages, and now the salt and iron tax is the most important tax in addition to the two taxes every year." Could it be that King Ji is still on par with the sages? ”
Li Bao looked at this conceited guy, and he smiled: "If the law of loneliness is said, I am afraid that it will frighten Pei Xianggong." ”
When Pei Tan heard this, he just snorted and stopped talking.
Yang Yan was in charge of the responsibilities of the branch, and he was most familiar with the salt and iron system, so he asked with interest: "I would like to hear the details, and I would like to ask the king to say it in detail." ”
"This salt and iron monopoly system is a long-standing tradition, in which the salt industry is the most important, if you want to benefit more from salt and iron, what you propose here is to liberalize the state monopoly and let private businessmen sell it on their own."
Hearing this, Pei Tan laughed and said, "Is this King Ji's long strategy?" Over the years, the salt tax in the Tang Dynasty has been reduced year by year, and if it is according to King Ji's high opinion, the country will lose its financial resources at that time, and there will be no local taxation. ”
Yang Yan heard the mystery from Li Bao's words, and continued: "Has the king not finished speaking? After the monopoly is released, how should it be governed? ”
"Yang Duzhi asked well, everyone knows that the head of the Huangchao thief in Lingnan is the one who started by selling illicit salt, why he can accumulate a huge family business by selling illicit salt, just because the price of salt we sell is very high, and each bucket of salt is only 100 wen in Huainan, and in the hands of the government, the price has been increased to between 300 and 400 wen. In addition, corrupt officials and corrupt officials exploited it, and the people suffered from not being able to eat salt, which was only one reason for forcing the rebellious people to rebel. ”
After Li Bao finished speaking, he looked at everyone in the hall, which means that it is obvious that the reason for such a consequence is caused by the inaction of your group of high-ranking officials.
After looking at the crowd, he continued: "If the monopoly of the salt industry is liberalized, and then the salt industry is opened, and the merchants are allowed to sell it on their own, then the price of salt will inevitably be reduced, and the people will benefit from it." All the government had to do was manage the merchants who wanted to sell salt. ”
"Oh, how to manage it, Rokuro said happily, don't sell it." Li Yi said impatiently.
"The official servants in the government can manage the salt merchants by selling 'salt guides' for the merchants who come to sell salt in the salt-producing areas, so that they can also guide the actions of the merchants according to the country's strategy."
Li Bao paused here so that everyone in the hall could digest what he said. Then he continued: "For example, if we want to attack Tibet and there is a shortage of grain on the front line, we can issue an order to the merchants, as long as we can transport grain to the front line, we can exchange it for salt at the front line, so that the country can save the effort of transporting grain and increase the sales of salt, killing two birds with one stone." ”
As soon as Li Bao's words fell, the hall once again remembered the buzzing sound of the ear to ear, and the high-ranking officials were all impressed by Li Bao's trendy theory.
After Li Yi heard this, he also felt that Li Bao's method was feasible, and he was about to get the prime ministers to come up with a charter according to Li Bao's concept after consultation, when Dou Lu Yao spoke.
Seeing such a change, not only everyone panicked, but even Emperor Li Yi panicked, just now it was fine, this Cui Xianggong suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, which really caught everyone in the palace off guard.
Yang Yan reacted the fastest, and shouted outside the hall: "Come on, quickly go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask the doctor to come and treat Cui Xianggong, and see what happened to Cui Xianggong?" ”
