"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that all the money in the treasury has been removed by you personally. ”

Tobe Shangshu was a little speechless.

Your Majesty, don't you think he's embezzling?

Thinking of Zhao Lin's bloody anti-corruption methods, the household methods were a little chilling.

Zhao Lin frowned.

The silver was indeed taken by him, and it was all taken to Dian Wei to train his troops.

After all, in Zhao Lin's eyes, training Tiger Ben Guards and enhancing military strength is the first priority.

However, Zhao Lin really didn't expect that this treasury would be so empty.

As the emperor, he has to find a way......

But where does the money come from?

Civil and military officials?

Baiguan was brutally rectified not long ago, and he can't do it again.

What's more, even if it is purged again, it is estimated that there will be no oil and water to be squeezed.

Increasing taxes?

This one doesn't work either.

And it is likely to have the opposite effect, or even provoke a popular uprising.

Neither of these is feasible, what else is available?

Zhao Lin had a headache.

However, in the next moment, there was a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Pregnant.

"I've got a way. ”

Sitting on the throne of the dragon chair, Zhao Lin's face showed a touch of joy.

"How?"

The ministers are all suspicious, and the treasury has no money, so there are just a few methods, but they are not good methods.

Could it be that Zhao Lin could come up with any new ideas?

"I intend to issue Treasury bonds. ”

Zhao Lin's words were amazing.

National debt?

What is a national debt?

The officials were confused and puzzled.

In fact, it means debt, but it is not the individual who borrows the debt, but the entire Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Lin patiently explained to the ministers, "We can issue debts in the name of the Great Song Dynasty, and everyone can buy debt certificates, and the court promises to repay them with interest after one year." ”

As soon as these words came out, Tobe Shangshu's eyes suddenly lit up.

It's a really viable approach.

It is equivalent to the treasury borrowing money like the people and repaying it regularly, so that there is no need to increase taxes or extort money, which is a good way to raise silver taels.

"No, you can't. ”

"Your Majesty, the benefits of the world, if you are not in the people, you are in the officials, and the issuance of treasury bonds is to compete with the people for profit, and the harm is even worse than increasing taxes!"

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, Your Majesty wants to enrich the treasury, and it should be done step by step, not to use such a villain's method to plunder the people!"

However, as soon as Zhao Lin's proposal came out, it was fiercely opposed by several imperial historians.

Zhao Lin's face sank, he is using modern people's financial means to generate income for the country and solve urgent needs, how did it get into the mouths of these people, and it became a competition for profits with the people and plundering the people?

"If you have a better idea, and you want to hear it, I'm listening. ”

Zhao Lin looked at a few people and said coldly.

And those imperial historians were speechless.

If they had that ability, they would have been in the position of the head of the household long ago.

Seeing that several imperial historians were silent, Zhao Lin shouted loudly: "What I hate the most is the incompetent people who can only talk about it, and if there are those who dare to oppose it, they will all be punished with fifty rods!"

As soon as these words came out, several imperial historians were immediately frightened and their legs and feet weakened, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

"Hubu Shangshu, this matter will be left to you to handle, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time. ”

Zhao Lin's gaze fell on the body of the head of the household book, and immediately issued a will, saying.

"Weichen Command!"

Hubu Shangshu did not dare to slack off, and immediately bowed down.

"I have seven days for you to do this! Otherwise, come and see you!"

Zhao Lin's words made the figure of the head of the household book stagger.

It's only been seven days!

Cold sweat oozed from the corners of Tobe Shoshu's forehead.

But in front of this resolute and resolute majesty, he could only bite the bullet and do it with all his might.

......

East China Sea, Panshan Island.

It was an island standing in the vast sea, the area of this island, about 300 miles in radius, was originally an island under the jurisdiction of the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty, but now, it was stolen by the giant whale gang.

It was also developed into the helmsman by the Whale Gang.

The Giant Whale Gang controls the maritime smuggling trade in the Jiangnan region, and basically monopolizes the smuggling merchant ships that come and go, and its power is extremely huge.

On this Panshan Island, all kinds of people gathered, including people from the Great Song Dynasty, as well as people from Goryeo, Fuso, Java and other countries, from countries beyond the four seas, all came to do business with the Giant Whale Gang.

They smuggled goods from the Whale Gang, which was much cheaper than doing business with the court of the Great Song Dynasty.

Today, it happens to be the fiftieth birthday of Cao Meng, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, so the lords from overseas countries have sent messengers to congratulate Cao Meng on his birthday.

"Gang Master Cao, this gentleman respects you a cup!"

In a luxurious mansion on the island, a man in a samurai costume raised his wine glass and toasted to the figure on the prince's chair.

"Why should Saito-san be so polite. ”

Cao Meng looked at the middle-aged warrior with a smile, and immediately raised his wine glass and said, "Say hello to the lord of Fusang for me!"

"Gang Master Cao, I also toast you. ”

A military general dressed in Goryeo costume also stood up and raised his glass, and said loudly: "I wish the business of the Giant Whale Gang and our Goryeo Kingdom to grow bigger and bigger!"

"And our Javanese country is the same!"

The envoy of Java hurriedly said.

"Good!

Cao Meng nodded again and again, in a happy mood.

The Giant Whale Gang was originally just a small gang active at sea, and later, until he took over the Giant Whale Gang, the power of the Giant Whale Gang expanded dramatically and quickly developed into one of the three major factions of Jiangnan Martial Arts.

It has started big business with Fuso, Goryeo, Java and other countries and has close ties.

Cao Meng felt that in his lifetime, he could still make the power of the Giant Whale Gang go up a big step.

Grow to become the first major school of Jiangnan martial arts.

This is not a pipe dream.

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Meng's heart suddenly became hot, and he drank a large glass of spirits.

"Bang!"

At that moment, all of a sudden, the whole island trembled violently, as if it had been hit by some terrible blow and an earthquake.

"What's going on?"

Cao Meng's face changed suddenly, he didn't say a word, and immediately rushed out!

His figure appeared at the top of the mansion, looking out towards the vast sea.

In the line of sight, there are three huge sea ships, which are coming towards the situation of Panshan Island!

The sea ship was huge, with a length and width of dozens of meters, like a three-headed giant beast, which made Cao Meng's pupils shrink.

Such a huge size... This is the Shenzhou warship of the court of the Great Song Dynasty, right?

However, he soon saw the flag on the ship, which read "Sun and Moon God Cult"!

The Sun and Moon God Cult that has recently gained fame on the rivers and lakes!

Cao Meng's face was very solemn.

Recently, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect has sprung up in the rivers and lakes, leveling the main altar of the Nine Shadows Sect and extinguishing the remnants of the Nine Shadows Sect.

He had already gotten the news about this matter.

It's just that he didn't expect that this Sun Moon God Sect would hit his giant whale gang with the idea so quickly.

"I really don't know how the dead word is written. ”

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Cao Meng's eyes.
