Chapter 17: Grab the credit

"The income is so meager that many officials can't make ends meet, so they have to find some other income...... Therefore, most of the actual income of local officials comes from the interception of local taxes, commonly known as fire consumption...... This is a key project of local officials' greed for ink. ”

When Jun Qian heard this, he was almost dumbfounded, he never imagined that such a thing would happen.

"Lord Sun and other important members of the imperial court are not greedy, and they can live a nervous life, but if local officials are not greedy, they cannot maintain the operation of the government...... That's why local officials are corrupt and take bribes. Qin Shu didn't feel how shocking his words were, "I also hope that the emperor can not only take a part of the military salary, but also use it to improve the income of the court and local officials, so as to eliminate the worries of officials who concentrate on governing the locality, and maintain honesty with high salaries." ”

There was no sound at all in the Taihe Hall, as if it was empty.

It took a long time for Jun Qian to come back to his senses.

No, he asked if this kid had a way to solve the problem of disaster relief money and food without using military salaries, why did he talk about spending military salaries to raise officials' salaries?

Feeling the expectant eyes of the ministers, Jun Qian was very embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The matter of Yulu will be discussed later...... At this stage, we should first consider how to solve the immediate problem of disaster relief. ”

No one dared to refute Jun Qian's words, and even Qin Shu was unwilling to touch Jun Qian's brows at the moment, so he didn't want to raise the official level.

"As the son of Zuo Xiang said, what is the way for Zhu Aiqing to raise money and food?" Jun Qian looked at the ministers in the Taihe Palace, but to Jun Qian's disappointment, all his heads were buried in his chest.

Finally, someone stood up, and Jun Qian's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea." Sun Qi stood up and said respectfully.

"Say it quickly."

"Why doesn't the emperor raise money from the wealthy families in the capital and the rich people in the whole day...... The minister believed that he would soon be able to raise all the money and food he needed. Sun Qi's back straightened, and he raised his head and said word by word.

However, Sun Qi didn't see the smiling face of the imaginary emperor.

After the second policy loophole that Qin Shu told him last night, Jun Qian has realized the inadequacy of the persuasion system...... Nationwide fundraising not only consumes time and cannot keep up with the needs of disaster relief, but also the money and food that can be raised absolutely cannot catch up with the needs, which can only alleviate the urgent need for a while.

What's more, why should the rich donate money and food?

If it is forced, it will inevitably cause the rich to complain...... It even caused a series of chain reactions.

"This strategy does not work and cannot solve the urgent need...... Do you have any other ways to do it? ”

Jun Qian's words made Sun Qi's face stiffen.

The emperor looked at the ministers, and finally set his eyes on Qin Shu...... The idea of cash-for-work was proposed by this kid, and this kid should still have a way~

Qin Shu does have methods, although these methods are limited by some eras, but they can still solve this problem.

"Your Majesty, Qin Su has some other ideas."

Qin Shu really spoke, but the look of wanting to speak and stopping disturbed Jun Qian's heart.

"Quick, please!" Jun Qian's eyes lit up, and he didn't realize that he was excited and said the word 'please' that didn't fit his identity.

"Qin Su has three ways to alleviate the crisis of shortage of money and food for disaster relief...... It's just that I have to grieve the emperor and all the mothers. Qin Shu continued, "The first method is the fundraising strategy that Master Sun Qi said...... However, the leader of the recruitment must be the emperor and the ladies in the palace, as well as the prince and the prince and other royal relatives and nobles. ”

The princes and princes of the previous dynasty were stunned for a moment, and then muttered in a low voice.

"The second way to raise money and food, the emperor can donate things that are not used in the palace, such as names and paintings, vases and porcelain, and jewelry that are not used by the ladies of the palace to hold a charity sale."

"Charity bazaar?" Jun Qian was extremely interested in this statement, and his body couldn't help but lean forward.

"That's right, it means donating all the proceeds from the sale of things to the relief of the victims...... Of course, the bazaar will not only sell the things of the emperor and the ladies, but you can also take out the things you don't need at home and buy and sell them at a fixed place. Qin Shu continued, "The charity sale is divided into two sessions, everyone in the outer field can go in to buy and sell items, and in the inner field, Qin Shu wants to set up a higher-grade auction conference. ”

"The emperor can write invitations to wealthy families and large merchants near the capital, inviting them to participate in the auction...... At the auction meeting, a fixed number of treasures will be auctioned, and these wealthy merchants will bid for the top 10 bidders, and the emperor will personally write a merit monument for them. ”

Qin Shu felt that the charity fair, which consisted of flea markets and auctions, would be the focus of this fundraising.

The specific details still need to be discussed...... In short, Qin Shu is proposing a way for Jun Qian to take money out of the pockets of the rich.

"That's a great way!" Jun Qian clapped his hands and applauded, a little excited, "What about the third point?" ”

"The third point is that for all the adults and the emperor, it may sound a little shocking and difficult to accept...... Qin Shu didn't dare to say it. Qin Shu lowered his head.

The corners of Jun Qian's eyes jumped, and his cheeks twitched.

In the past two days, has this kid been talking about anything shocking...... However, since even this kid himself feels shocking, how penetrating should it be......

"You, say it."

"The third point is to borrow money." Qin Shu paused for a moment, and then continued, "The emperor issued bonds in the name of the imperial court and borrowed money from the people...... The annual tax is then paid as collateral to repay the debt. ”

Qin Shu's words caused a great shock in the hearts of the officials present and the emperor Junqian...... Could it be that their court is so poor that they already need to borrow money from the common people?

Jun Qian's face was blank, even if he was prepared, he was still frightened by what Qin Shu said.

If I had known, I wouldn't have let this kid say this appalling third point......

"Hehe, I think the first two points are good...... What do you think? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone echoed Jun Qian and nodded.

Qin Shu was not disappointed at all, he had expected that Jun Qian would not agree to this third point...... However, the most valuable of the three methods he mentioned is the third point.

This is the essence of the theory from later generations, if Jun Qian agrees, maybe by the way, Qin Shu can also rectify the banking system......

"In this way, the money and food raised for the first two points should be about the same...... But there is still one thing missing, the emperor can deduct some from the military salary, so it will not have much impact on the needs of the Apocalypse army. At this moment, the official who had asked Qin Shu before, "If the country does not exist, the people will be attached", he stood up and said.

"Okay, that's it." Jun Qian, who solved a big worry, was very happy, and made a decision, "Since this is the case, then you can deal with it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of joy, and Qin Liang's face darkened.

My son has been talking about it for a long time, and you Yang Juzheng is good, and you snatched the credit and good errand in a few words......
