Wu Qiong couldn't sit still, a country, what does it mean to have no money, I believe it goes without saying that you know.

He originally had the intention of developing agriculture in Dazhou, promoting industry and commerce, and then improving the level of science and technology, doing some novel things, such as stir-frying, seasonings, making glass, furniture and other messy things, and building a state-run department store to make money.

When the time comes, agriculture will develop, industry and commerce will be relaxed, everyone will work harder, the state will collect taxes, and the people will be rich and the country will be strong.

But looking at it now, let alone the development of agriculture, just this Xuanping 20 years, the treasury has been empty, waiting for 100,000 people to patrol Xiliang, 10 million taels do not know how much is left after the patrol is over, not to mention that they are still thinking about promoting Quyuan plough throughout the country, so that the people can have more spare strength to reclaim farmland next year.

How can you promote Quyuan plough if you don't have money?

Not to mention that autumn is coming soon, the locust plague is about to start, and there is no relief for disaster relief? Watching the people starve to death?

Wu Qiong stood up, put his hands behind his back, frowned and paced, and then asked:

"How much money do you have?"

As soon as Xiao Fu heard this, he knelt on the ground with a puff and said with tears in his eyes:

"Your Majesty! There is no corruption! ”

Wu Qiong was stunned, a little crying and laughing:

"When did I say that you were corrupt, I asked, how much money does your family have!"

Xiao Fu was stunned, and then said:

"Weichen pays Lu every year, counting Lu grain, acres of land and other miscellaneous expenses, about 400 a year, but this is the money that the minister only took after the second product did the Shangshu, and the miscellaneous things were counted together in the past, and he was an official for more than 20 years, and he had two ...... A thousand runs, you can still get it. ”

Xiao Fu thought in his heart, the Son of Heaven was afraid that he was not going to let the courtiers pay, although he felt a little uncomfortable, but at this critical moment of the country, he was still willing to do it.

After all, cutting the feudal domain is related to the country's capital, and if the country can't keep it, where can you keep your home?

Even other officials, I'm afraid they will feel a little uncomfortable, and many people are afraid that they will not be happy.

You must know that at this time, people are officials, partly for the ideals in their hearts, and partly inseparable from material things.

Wu Qiong didn't think about so many miscellaneous things, he asked again:

"How does your money compare with the rich in Chang'an City?"

Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"It should be about the same."

Wu Qiong nodded, thinking about it, if the family didn't even have a thousand runs, they wouldn't dare to call themselves rich.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that even if you count the money donated by the minister, it is not enough, and if you want to tide over this difficulty, the only way to raise taxes is to raise taxes, and the minister has already drawn up the ......"

Xiao Fu was still talking, Wu Qiong raised his hand with a smile, interrupted him, and then said:

"Who said that I want you to donate money, you work hard for the country, you are a second-class member, 400 yuan a year, I also asked you to donate money, and it is spread out, who in the world is willing to be an official and do things for the country in the future, as for the tax increase, don't add it, the people are already very hard, as the emperor, I can't help them reduce the burden immediately, I have deeply blamed myself, and then raise taxes, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well."

Wu Qiong said what was in her heart, but she didn't notice the imperial history on the side, and she was working hard to write.

And Xiao Fu, who was still kneeling on the ground, saw that Yu Shi was like a god, and the focused look on his face, Xiao Fu's eyes lit up: It's done, it's in the history books!

Xiao Fu directly bowed again, with a crying voice, and shouted:

"The Son of Heaven is benevolent and righteous, concerned about the suffering of the people of the world, the ministers are for the people of the world, for the Great Zhou, I am so happy to have a Son of Heaven like you, I can't help but cry with joy! The minister remembered that the lady in the family still had a little dowry surplus, and then sold some acres of real estate, and the minister estimated that it should not be a problem to make up two thousand taels for His Majesty. ”

"Hey, I said I didn't want you...... Well? How did you double it? ”

Wu Qiong showed an alert gaze.

"Ah, this ...... Money is something outside of the body, and there is always something to get together. ”

Wu Qiong was a little crying and laughing by what Xiao Fu said, you can make it up, I can't make it up!

And if you are the emperor yourself, it is definitely not appropriate to ask your courtiers to donate money, but what if the country is in a hurry to use money and the expenditure is not enough?

There's a way!

Wu Qiong thought of an emergency method, of course, in the feudal era, it was really only an emergency.

"I don't need you to make it up, let's say, I'm going to patrol Xiliang again, and I'm going to provide disaster relief, how much more money do I need?"

"If you don't talk about eight million taels, it's better to have more than fourteen million taels."

Xiao Fu quickly said an accurate number, and even the minimum number and the ideal number, which made Wu Qiong look at him with admiration, in terms of managing money, this person is capable.

"Okay, get ready, issue treasury bonds."

………………

The issuance of treasury bonds that Wu Qiong thought of had actually been done as early as ancient times.

At the end of the Warring States period, King Zhou Xun united the six countries to crusade against Qin, looking for someone to borrow money, training troops to prepare grain and grass, but after waiting for many months, the princes did not come, the battle did not start, he had to pay back the money, and the creditors came to ask for debts, so there was an idiom - high debts.

Later, the Han Dynasty, Tang and Song dynasties both issued treasury bonds during the period of national crisis, but they were not national bonds in the exact sense, but the Son of Heaven borrowed money in his private name and repaid it later, without specifically saying how much to repay, how much interest he repaid, how long the term was, etc.

As a result, many times it became a mass incident, and after the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Suzong shared people to borrow money, which almost caused the Beijing Division to mutiny.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen wanted to issue treasury bonds, but no one bought them, and the scholar class, together with the big landlords, completely abandoned the Ming Dynasty and switched to the Qing Dynasty without backbone.

The representative of the scholars, Yan Shenggong, took the lead in surrendering before the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrived at his house, and there were still hundreds of miles away, and when he shaved his hair and changed clothes, he issued a shaving order in the morning, and at noon he shaved his hair at the door of the whole house, with a money rat tail on his head, and laughed that the new dynasty was a politician.

The backbone of the entire reading generation was broken and clean at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Qiong's idea of issuing treasury bonds is also a way out of the box, but the emperors of other dynasties have issued tragedies when issuing treasury bonds, because they are already at the point of no retreat and have no way to make money.

Da Zhou is different now, although there is no money, but the army is strong, the morale is available, as for the way to get money.

I, Wu Qiong, can't make money in modern times, and I can't make money when I became an emperor in ancient times? Then the emperor can also be exempted.

If you come to the money method, there will be more.

When Xiao Fu asked how to repay the money in the future, Wu Qiong smiled slightly:

"He, King Xiliang, can't he afford to raise 100,000 male soldiers?"

Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment, what he admired was the five-body throw, understood, let's go down and arrange it.

When Xiao Fu left, Wu Qiong hurriedly ran towards the Tai Hospital.

The poor can't do it, hurry up and ask the aphrodisiac side how it is sold, mosquito legs are also meat!
