"After Your Majesty ascended the throne,............ Rectify the rule of officials, manage disasters, the south of the barbarian Yue, the west of the Qiang disaster, the north of the Xianbei, open up the territory to expand more than 10,000 miles, it is the luck of the sky, the blessing of the Han Dynasty, the blessing of the Li Min Sheji, so the minister asked His Majesty to seal Mount Tai. ”

In the first three years of Xiping, there was an official with a thousand stones, although Liu Hong was photographed very comfortably, but what is the matter with Feng Chan? That's a pure scourge to the common people.

Go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, the bitterness of the people of Qingzhou began, and now the Han has just experienced the Great War of the Northern Expedition Xianbei, although the captured things have made the Han make a lot of money, but it still can't change, the essence of the small grain production in this era.

In the absence of Zhancheng rice, it is really stupid to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen with such a hard work and money, Liu Hong, a person of later generations, although he has fully adapted to this era, does not mean that Liu Hong has no vision of future generations!

So Liu Hong looked at the official who played and said lightly, "I already know about this matter, so let's put it aside for the time being!" What else is there to do with you? ”

Originally, Liu Hong's sentence of 'put it aside for the time being' was already a set of tone, not to mention that Liu Hong had already asked about other things, so it stands to reason that this matter should have passed like this.

But I don't know if this official wants to be crazy or wants to be famous, so he shouted, "Your Majesty, everything the minister thinks is Your Majesty!" Please Your Majesty enshrine Mount Tai, otherwise the minister will die in this hall. ”

In fact, it is also Liu Hong who can't understand the people of this era, and he likes fame, Feng Chan Taishan is not only the merit of the emperor, but also the merit of these ministers. If this official's proposal succeeds, it is impossible to say that it will leave a mark in the annals of history, which is something that no one can care about.

A trace of anger flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, and he said sharply, "Where is the head of the household?" ”

Hearing this, Qiao Xuan hurriedly stepped out and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"Tell this loyal and patriotic Aiqing, how much food does the Han still have now!"

Listening to Liu Hong's words, Qiao Xuan glanced at the official who played with pity, then cleared his throat and said loudly, "There are 30 million taels of silver in the treasury today, that is, 30 billion yuan (there were no 100 million in the Han Dynasty, for the convenience of reading. The granaries in various places have a total of 3 million stones, and Taicang has only 1 million stones. ”

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they were stunned for a moment, the money in the treasury is really a lot, and if it was to be put in the past, it would be more than a billion! But this food is too little compared to money.

This million stone of grain is not enough for the relief of a catastrophe! Although there are still two million stones in various places, they are military rations in various places, and they must not be acted rashly.

Immediately, Qiao Xuan continued: "The deposit of the Dahan Royal Bank has a total of 80 million taels of silver, and you can get one million taels of silver in transaction tax every year. ”

After saying this, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty just felt that the Han Dynasty had more money now, but Liu Hong found that there was now a situation where there was more money and less goods, which meant that the money was worthless.

This is not a good thing for the Han who has just reformed the monetary system, if there is no Great War of the Northern Expedition of Xianbei, the food of the Han Dynasty will not be in short supply, but the consumption of food during the Great War is amazing, and there is not much food on the Xianbei side.

Xianbei's cattle and sheep were transported to the Han Dynasty and sold by the imperial court, and they got a lot of money, but the grain still did not increase, and in the end, Liu Hong had no choice but to let the local armies begin to eat meat as the staple food.

But this is not a solution, at this time even the people have this trend, originally it was close to the end of the year, the people were happy to have meat to eat, but the year has passed, and then there will be problems.

Liu Hong originally wanted to discuss with everyone in this early court, but such a strange thing came out, and he actually thought of sealing Mount Tai.

That's where the above scene comes in.

Glancing at the official who wrote the book, Liu Hong reprimanded, "I don't know what to say, write an excerpt and hand it to the imperial history." ”

"No!"

The official made Liu Hong really angry, not a form of modesty and courtesy, so he had to retreat slowly.

Immediately, Liu Hong said lightly, "Ladies and gentlemen, what the household department has just said, you have heard it, let's discuss it!" ”

Everyone in the court looked at each other, but no one spoke, and in this era, officials really don't know much about economic development.

In the end, Cao Song came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the grain should be transported to all parts of the Central Plains as soon as possible. Especially the northern states. ”

Liu Hong nodded, and then said, "Go on!" ”

Cao Song heard the words and continued: "Your Majesty, now the money of the Han Dynasty is more than twice as much as before, this is all for Your Majesty's wisdom and wisdom, and the merit of governing the country, but there is more money, but the goods have not increased, and the money will inevitably depreciate a lot after that, and my Han has just issued a new currency, if the money is depreciated, the merchants, and the people will not trust the bank, and even withdraw cash from the bank on a large scale, so stabilizing the price of grain is really the top priority." ”

Listening to Cao Song's words, Liu Hong was immediately impressed by Cao Song, if this remark is in the future generations, Liu Hong is not surprised, because even a middle school student understands these truths, but in the late Han Dynasty, it is extremely rare.

Suddenly, Liu Hong remembered Jinyiwei's report last night, and asked with a strange look on his face, "Aman, what did Ranger say?" ”

Cao Song opened his mouth and said, "The imperial court can issue a decree to strictly prohibit rich merchants from all over the country from hoarding and ......."

Saying this, Cao Song suddenly closed his mouth, his expression a little embarrassed.

Liu Hong smiled bitterly, bit his head, and said secretly, "I'll just say it!" Cao Song doesn't look like a person who can see this, it turns out that Cao Ying is doing a ghost, and he deserves to be a generation of heroes! It's very vicious to see the problem! ”

Then he smiled and said, "Okay, since Aiqing is so clear, I will make an exception for love and move Cao Song to be the head of the household department and the president of Dahan Bank." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Song respectfully attached himself and saluted.

Seeing this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but feel jealous that they had a good son.

Immediately, Liu Hong asked lightly: "How is the Qingzhou Sailor doing?" ”

Cabinet Xu Xun said, "Your Majesty, because you have not obtained Your Majesty's will, there is no one in Qingzhou Navy, but Cao Ying, the county commander of Huangxian County, Donglai County, Qingzhou, has built a shipyard, and now has built fifteen large wing warships and two building ships. ”

Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and the big wing warship: the first Wu State that appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, was the earliest warship in China and the largest warship in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The ship is 28 meters long and 3.6 meters wide, and can be equipped with 91 combat soldiers, driven by oars, although the building boat is the main battle ship at this time.

However, compared with the time required to build, it is obvious that the big wing warship has more advantages, not to mention that this time in order to transport grain from Jiaozhou in the south, the building ship dispatched from the southern sailors to transport the grain to Qingzhou, and then the big wing warship can be sent to the states along the canal.

So Liu Hong smiled and said, "In this case, I ordered the Jingyang Sailor to immediately go to Jiaozhou to transport grain to Qingzhou, and then ordered one of his sailors to form the Northern Sailor." ”

"No!"

After solving the problem of food, a smile appeared on the courtier's face, and Liu Hong said secretly, "Sure enough, there is food in your hand, and you don't panic!" ”

However, when Liu Hong saw the folds placed separately on the desk, the smile on his face disappeared.

Immediately, Liu Hong's face straightened, and he said solemnly, "Where is the secretary of the ministry?" ”

"The minister is here!" Liu Huan came out of the queue.

Liu Hong got up and slowly walked to Liu Huan's side, handed the fold in his hand to Liu Huan, and said lightly, "Aiqing, take a look!" ”

Liu Huan quickly read it, and suddenly left a drop of cold sweat on his head, and hurriedly said, "The minister is guilty!" ”

"What is Aiqing's crime?"

Liu Huan suddenly lost his words, and said secretly, "What kind of crime are you?" The problem of the Performance Appraisal Division is the problem of so-and-so? That's not right! The Performance Appraisal Division was also promoted based on his performance? Exactly? ”

Liu Hong saw that Liu Huan didn't speak, so he knew that Liu Huan didn't know where he was wrong, so he said lightly, "Forget about the past, and don't allow this kind of thing that only thinks about taxes and doesn't care about the people's suffering in the future." ”

"The local situation is not good, as the head of a county, he doesn't even look for a way for the people to live, and he insists on collecting taxes, can't he do anything else there except farming?"

"From now on, the Performance Appraisal Department should not judge this official only by the amount of taxes he pays, but also by the number of workers and businessmen in the area, and perhaps you will think that the industrialists are lowly people."

Speaking of this, Liu Hong said sharply, "However, I only know that the lowly industry and commerce can make the Han people have enough to eat, even if the year is bad, they can also use the money from work to buy food, no matter what I am high or low, as long as there are no starving people in the Han Dynasty." ”

A royal doctor frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the sage has something to say, ......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Hong waved his hand to interrupt and shouted, "What nonsense!" ”

The man's eyes widened and he shouted, "Your Majesty dares to question the words of the saint? ”

Liu Hong strode over, kicked him to the ground, and shouted, "The sage said, can't the Son of Heaven care about the life and death of the people?" ”

The official also shouted, "Your Majesty, if you beat your ministers, you must not insult the words of the saints." ”

Liu Hong smiled coldly when he heard this, and now said that the reason why Liu Hong did this was not only to let hundreds of officials accept the industrial and commercial lowly industry, but also to make the money of the big man come alive.

Why did the big men basically not pay attention to money before? Because the taxes are paid directly to the grain, and the people also grow their own grain, the people who really use the money to buy and sell grain are only a minority of the Han people.

What Liu Hong wants to do is to abolish grain as the main body of taxation, and instead use money to pay taxes, and the Grand Canal will be opened in another year, when it is the time to develop Jiaozhou Lingnan, and Zhancheng rice will definitely appear.

At that time, food will not be so scarce, Liu Hong just has to prepare in advance, so as not to have too much impact on the imperial court, after all, taking grain as the main body of taxation is not a year or two, but from ancient times, there were taxes, and it began.

In the end, Liu Hong walked outside the palace and said loudly, "If the monarch is inappropriate, he will be punished for one year, and the door will be closed for one month. ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu shouted on his lips, but he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that in the future, this merit will be money!" (To be continued.) )
