Chapter 13 Dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and do not dominate

"After I went down to the court, I went directly to this courtier's house to visit him, and then do you know what happened? Damn, this guy is pretending to be sick! The minister in this game is too shrewd! ”

Seeing this post, Ren Tian groaned for a moment, and he opened his country's attribute panel again and clicked into the [Treasury] column.

【National Treasury】

Total credits: 902 gold

Monthly income: 1.4 gold

Monthly payout: 3.7 gold

Income and expenditure: -2.3 gold

Seeing this balance of payments, Ren Tian frowned very much, the income in the early stage of the game was almost only taxes, and there were not many people who paid taxes, so the income was only so little, and the monthly expenses were very exaggerated, including the court officials' salaries, city wall maintenance costs, etc., as well as the 1 gold that Ren Tian deliberately allocated to the Praetorian Guard Legion every month, a full 3.7 gold, plus a few gold rewards at ordinary times, it can be said that the loss of treasury funds will be very large.

If you don't want to increase your income, it is estimated that Ren Tian's country will not last long, and it will go bankrupt directly.

As for the rest of the resources, there are about 160,000 stone of grain, which is quite normal, and the rest of the resources such as silk and tea are relatively small.

Looking at the situation of the entire treasury, it was only 2 days, and about 100 gold was used, which is not optimistic, and the most important thing is that Ren Tian can conclude that the 30 gold that Chao Sikong Du Hong wanted to add to himself this morning was all filled by him!

"It's really okay, I didn't expect my minister to be corrupt."

Ren Tian wanted to directly call someone to send Sikong Du Hong to prison, but after thinking about it, he still held back, after all, it is still the early stage of the game, the position of Sikong is very important, and the rest of the officials have not been cultivated yet, if there is a vacancy, no one can replace Du Hong, and the situation will be even worse.

Therefore, Ren Tian can only endure for a while, and wait until there is a suitable talent, and then replace Du Hong.

I was thinking about it in my heart, and suddenly, a voice sounded in front of me.

"May I ask Your Majesty, Country Buyi, can you talk to you?"

Ren Tian raised his head and saw a middle-aged man standing on the side of the road, looking at him.

Just seeing this man, Ren Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, this person is extraordinary, his face is calm and calm, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Could it be that some historical celebrity is here?

Ren Tian was excited in his heart, and he smiled: "Naturally, I can see that Mr. is extraordinary, and he should not be a citizen of my new country." ”

"My lord is naturally not a person from your small country."

The servant beside the middle-aged man suddenly interjected.

The middle-aged man looked at the servant, and the servant suddenly retracted his head, also realizing that he was too talkative.

Ren Tian said with a smile: "It's okay, I also know that there are so many small countries on the mainland at present, like mushrooms after a rain, and the land of my two counties is naturally not a big country." ”

"Your Majesty said with a smile, the way to build a country is to be courteous and righteous rather than scheming; The fundamental picture is not in the people's hearts, not in the skills, and the country is not in the size of the people's hearts, does Your Majesty think so? ”

Ren Tian listened to this man's conversation, and knew that this person was extraordinary, and he should be a historical celebrity, but he didn't know who it was.

Looking at his dress, his identity should be a civil servant, but there are more civil servants in Chinese history, so it's hard to guess.

"What the gentleman said is very true, it is better to come with the widow and entertain him."

The man smiled: "This is not necessary, I am only a country cloth cloth at present, but I saw that His Majesty was sympathetic to the people before, so I want to talk to Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks, how should the new country be in today's way?" ”

Ren Tian pondered, is this testing my way of politics?

Historical figures are not easy to recruit, this is because the first encounter with a historical figure is a random probability, the second is the contact, to see whether it conforms to the personality concept of the historical figure, and the third is the task given by the historical figure.

Only by completing his mission will this historical figure serve you.

After pondering for a while, Ren Tian said: "Today, the smoke is everywhere, the people are displaced, and small countries continue to appear, but the more this is the case, the more necessary it is for me to recuperate, the new country is still very weak, and the people's livelihood is withering, so recuperation is the top priority, and the people must be allowed to have land to plant, and the new country is rich before they can make other plans, and during this time, recuperation will be a very long-term policy." ”

"Exactly?"

The middle-aged man asked.

"Reduced taxes and forced labor, full exemption of land rent for one year, forced labor once a year, reduced punishment, and abolition of meat punishment."

Ren Tian began to search his intestines and scrape his stomach: "Release the slaves and maids as civilians; Dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and do not dominate. ”

These contents were all seen by chance by Ren Tian before, and he didn't know where they came from, anyway, they were all similar measures.

The middle-aged man was a little curious: "I understand the vast accumulation of grain, but why do you dig a deep hole?" ”

Ren Tian's speech was sluggish for a while, he seemed to remember, this slogan seemed to be too advanced?

The setting deadline for this game is before the appearance of artillery, that is, history will end around the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the slogan that Ren Tian just said is already after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"It's about defending."

"I see."

The middle-aged man nodded: "Your Majesty can have a correct understanding, and be pro-government and love the people, and the development of the new country is promising." ”

Ren Tian was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Mr.'s name?" Would you like to join my new country and help the widowed? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile: "I'm just a country cloth cloth at present, and my name doesn't deserve to be heard." ”

Ren Tian was disappointed in his heart, he originally wanted to dig out the other party's name, or some nicknames, so that he could judge the specific identity of the other party.

"If Your Majesty wishes, I would like to live in a new country for a while."

Ren Tian was overjoyed: "Of course you can." ”

The man nodded: "I will find a house in the city, and maybe I will meet His Majesty in the future." ”

With that, the man saluted and turned to leave.

Seeing this man leaving, Ren Tian was really itching, he could be sure that this man was definitely a historical celebrity, but the question was who?

"It's a bit like the minister of the Tang Dynasty, could it be the eldest grandson Wuji? Impossible, the eldest grandson Wuji's momentum is not like this, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling? Or is it a figure from the Three Kingdoms period? Xun Yu? Jiang Wan? ”

The more Ren Tian thought about it, the more confused he became, in the long river of history, there were not a few famous Wenchen, and he couldn't guess without a little information.

"Forget it, I don't want to, anyway, he has already lived in Xinguo, as long as it takes a while, he will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of my hand."

Ren Tian was full of confidence, and he was even more excited, but he never expected that on the second day of the game, he directly met a historical celebrity.

The pro-cultivation ceremony was almost over by this time, and Ren Tian and a group of central officials of the new country were also preparing to go back.

The little eunuch on the side shouted at the top of his voice: "Get up and go back to the palace!" ”
