Chapter 340
The doctor shaved off Li Xiao's hair, but fortunately, Li Xiao's hair is very short on weekdays, and it is not very difficult to shave it now.
Li Xiao's head knocked a hole on the coffee table, although the hole was not big, but there was a lot of blood.
There was a big pool on the ground, and it looked scary.
"Hehehe......!" After Ao Ye heard what happened to Li Xiao, he began to laugh like a wind.
"I really can't get this thing out. The dignified commander of the Liao army, kicked people to break his head and spread it, which had a great impact on morale!
Hehe......! Hehe......! ”
As soon as he saw Li Xiao's embarrassment, Ao Ye couldn't help laughing again.
"What are you laughing at? You haven't seen the fat of the fifth child, kicking on the body and slippery. Li Xiao was also helpless.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. What about the bastard of the old five? Why didn't I see it! "Ao Ye looked left and right, and couldn't find any trace of the fifth master.
"Scared to death!
Seeing so much blood coming out of my head hitting the coffee table, I was scared to death on the spot. Li Xiao sighed.
He is indeed a little ashamed of the fifth master's personality, but the fifth master said that he wants to wash his hands in a golden basin and give up all his business to support his retirement.
Li Xiao had the intention of letting him go!
After all, they are old brothers who have been to Phi Island together back then, and they can't get old and let him end up.
Unexpectedly, he saw Li Xiao's head and face covered with blood. As soon as the fifth master's eyes rolled, the person was out of breath.
At that time, everyone was busy rescuing the handsome, and no one cared about the fat richest man in the capital.
waited until Li Xiao was bandaged to stop the bleeding, but found that the fifth master had been incontinent and actually died.
"Let the corpse be taken away by Junko, let the guard regiment remove the sentry." Li Xiao commanded helplessly, today's incident is really a shame and thrown to grandma's house.
"Kid Lin is still outside, and your guard staff won't let him in. That kid must be scared to death now. Ao Ye said happily.
"Let him dry outside for a while, damn it, he was happy when he received the thin horses in Yangzhou, now it's time to let him cool down for a while." Li Xiao said hatefully.
"I said brother, Brother Lin is good. You see whose family doesn't drink flower wine all day long, and there are a lot of girls and concubines in the room.
Tomato is free to read
Besides, at his age, you can't be too harsh. Beware of backfire! Ao Ye advised Li Xiaodao.
"At his age, it's normal to be a little squirrel. It's okay to receive two Yangzhou skinny horses!
But he can't take everyone's things!
Who is the old five? What's that for?
I have long wanted to clean him up, and I have been thinking about the old love, and I don't have time to delay it.
He even accepts the girls sent by the fifth child!
With such a lake, how can I rest assured that I will hand over my belongings to him in the future. Li Xiao leaned back on the sofa hatefully.
Ao Ye stopped talking, after all, this country will be passed on to Li Lin in the future. The whole world is his, and what kind of gift do you receive.
The fifth child is good this time, but his butt is not clean. Dare to stand in front of the big handsome man without incident, if he doesn't die, who will die!
"The fifth child is gone, and he has some credit for reading it before, so that's it. Don't trouble his family, return the body to his family, so that his family can be buried alive. Li Xiao commanded Junzi.
"No!" Junko answered the promise and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
The guards supported Li Xiao and lay on the sofa, with soft pillows behind his head.
"When I come back this time, I have a good rest. I thought, let's take a year off. Waiting for roads, railways, airfields on the territory of Russia and Poland to be repaired.
Let's go to trouble the Germans!
Grandma's, the Germans are getting better and better now. News came from the inside that even a prototype of the plane had been made.
I've also heard that a test flight will be going in two days. If this continues, our battlefield advantage will be gone. ”
"I guess it has something to do with our wartime missing pilots.
After all, against the performance of the aircraft, the pilots are well understood. Moreover, none of our aircraft mechanics are missing.
The pilots lost a lot of money due to mechanical failures and other reasons. Ao Ye sat opposite Li Xiao and guessed.
"Damn, I haven't been beaten down much by the enemy. Mechanical failures cost dozens of aircraft! ”
Speaking of this matter, Li Xiao seemed very helpless.
Airplanes are the product of pulling seedlings to promote forcibly climbing the science and technology tree, and there are problems in technology and manufacturing process, that is certain.
When problems come together, the plane breaks down frequently.
A few days ago, the General Staff made a statistic that more than 70 planes were shot down.
Only twenty-seven of them were shot down by enemy anti-aircraft fire, and the rest were all caused by mechanical failures and weather.
There is one that is even more special, it actually flies and flies, and the wings fall off one side.
If it weren't for the pilot's cleverness and timely parachuting, he would definitely have fallen into a meatloaf.
"Alright, you can rest. I'm back!
Go home and see if you can still make a son out with the concubine. Grandma's, after working for a long time, it didn't have any effect. Ao Ye stood up and walked out while muttering.
"Do you want to help?" Li Xiao asked sickly lying on the sofa.
"Get out!"
has no heirs, it has always been Ao Ye's heart disease. Over the years, he has married several concubines, but he has not given birth to a son.
The girl gave birth to two, although Ao Ye didn't like it, but he still thought that it was best to have a son.
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, and Ao Ye's pressure is not ordinary.
So much so that at this age, I have to work non-stop, and it is very hard every night.
There was chaos in the capital, but it soon fell silent.
Regarding the death of the fifth master, there are many versions circulating in the capital. There are so many sayings that you can fight at the wine table!
The fifth master died, and a grand funeral was held for him at home.
The sons of the fifth master are still young, and the eldest is only sixteen years old. Belong to the newly adulthood!
At the funeral, the old brothers of the Liao army came a lot, and when they saw this young master who needed the support of two beautiful maids to walk, they all shook their heads helplessly.
This young master is only sixteen years old, and although he has not officially married a wife, he already has three concubines.
Even so, on weekdays, he still often haunts the hook bar to drink flower wine.
Not only is it, but it's also a gamble.
I don't go to my own gambling house, I go to other gambling houses to gamble. Every time you owe a huge debt, you need to settle it with the fifth master.
Now that the fifth master is gone, I don't know what his huge family business will be like by this young master.
The fifth master has married a lot of women over the years, and he has also given birth to a lot of daughters.
It's just that these children are still young, and they can't support this huge business empire at all.
is not rich for three generations, and seeing the family business of the fifth master for a lifetime, he will finish playing if he can't support the second generation.
After the funeral, Li Xiao also had a stack of silver tickets on his desk.
That's more than 8 million taels!
Li Xiao blinked his eyes and stared at Junzi.
"Five...... The fifth family sent it, and they said that they couldn't owe the money to the big handsome. Junko whispered.
"This ......!" Li Xiao was speechless.
I guess I can't hide the money I gambled in the Wuye Gambling House, there are so many gambling sticks on the scene.
Generally speaking, people die and their debts are eliminated, but no one dares to rely on the accounts of the handsome, so they become the debts of the father and the son.
Even if the fifth master has made a lot of money over the years, but he took out more than eight million at once, I believe that the fifth master's family will vomit blood.
"Ai Hu is here!" Li Xiao said softly.
"No!"
In just twenty minutes, Ai Husheng appeared in Li Xiao's office.
"There are 8,400,000 silver tickets here, and another 600,000 silver dollars have been added to the Marshal's Mansion.
Make a fund to help those military and martyr families in need. The specific operation, you will do it. Li Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and directly pushed the silver ticket to Ai Husheng.
"Oh, No!" Ai Husheng realized that it was this matter that the handsome man shouted that he was coming.
It's not that hard!
It's just a fund, although it looks like a lot. But there are also a lot of martyrs and military families in the country, and this money seems to be a lot, but it is not enough.
"Marshal, do you think it's good to buy this money into the bonds of the Empire? This kind of bond allows the fund to have a stable income, and the interest is used every year to help those military and martyr families. ”
In the end, he is a person who deals with money every day, and Ai Husheng thought of how to use the money as quickly as possible.
"You're an expert at this, so it's good for you to run it.
Oh, bonds. Are we going to issue bonds again? Li Xiao suddenly noticed the bonds mentioned by Ai Husheng.
"There's no way, Dashuai!
The tax rate has never been raised, Europe is broken, the people are poor to death, and their purchasing power cannot rise for a while.
Moreover, there is now a great deal of resistance from Germany to us.
Not only did the customs make it difficult for their goods, but they also did not allow our banks to do business with them.
Most importantly, they now occupy England, France, and Germany, all of which are among the richest in Europe.
Without those markets, our factories can only rely on domestic demand, and profits are really limited. ”
Ai Husheng is also very helpless, he has been supporting Daming's finances all these years, and he can be regarded as doing his best.
A man in his fifties has already grown white and black, and looks like he is eighty years old.
"It's not an option to always issue bonds." Li Xiao is also helpless.
He knew that such a thing as issuing bonds was to quench his thirst. After all, bonds are meant to be repaid.
"But now the deficit of the imperial court is too big!
Originally, I thought that when the war was over, the military industry could stop for a while.
Can......! Ai Husheng glanced at Li Xiao, and seeing that Li Xiao did not speak, Ai Husheng said again: "There is also a lot of money spent on military research and development, and the funds of the Jinzhou Research Institute have been reported to be more than 20 million silver dollars this year, an increase of 1 million over last year. ”
For the Jinzhou Research Institute, Ai Husheng can't bear it anymore. Spending money is like running water, it's like a bottomless pit.
I sent someone to check the accounts, but I didn't even get in.
Xu Ermo's words were tough: "These are confidential projects, if you want to check them, you can!"
Take the warrant of the commander, and you need someone from the Ministry of Supervision to be present. ”
Ai Hu was so angry that he had to approve a silver dollar to the Jinzhou Research Institute.
There is no way, Li Xiao specially explained. The research funds of the Jinzhou Research Institute shall be approved as much as they are submitted without delay.
Over the years, Daming has invested almost 300 million silver dollars in the Jinzhou Research Institute.
You must know that the annual income of the Ming Empire is only more than 90 million silver dollars.
The rest of the money had to be obtained from the state-owned workshops of the empire, as well as overseas trade.
The most direct is the customs gold, which has more than 40 million silver dollars every year.
Looking at the large number and the large amount, but if it really has to spend on the huge Ming Empire, the money is a little insufficient.
In addition, over the years, the Ming Dynasty has not only begun to build roads and railways internally. When the internal construction was in full swing, the marshal actually had to go to war with the Europeans.
Domestic projects do not mean that they can be stopped if they are stopped.
And the war abroad is another huge expense.
Last year alone, Daming's military spending surged by more than 50 million silver dollars.
If it weren't for the issuance of war bonds, this life would not have been possible at all.
Now that the war is over, I was still thinking of war reparations. But France and Britain, one was smashed, and the other was emptied by the Ming Dynasty with prisoners of war and weapons.
This money can only make up for part of the loss of the Ming treasury!
Now, Ai Husheng only wants the Jinzhou Research Institute to reduce the research funding as soon as possible.
In this way, there will be living money in the account of the household. And not as it is now, stretched thin.
"The money of the Jinzhou Research Institute is still allocated as much as it is reported, and not a silver dollar can be less.
The affairs of the household department are entrusted to you, and if you want to do it well, it is nothing more than two things. Open source and throttling!
The tax rate is not increased, which is a good means to hide the wealth from the people. I can't afford to increase my taxes!
Otherwise, if you add one silver dollar here, the people below will dare to collect ten. In those places where the emperor is far away, he dares to collect a hundred.
All they need is a starting point.
Li Hao has already discussed a plan with his staff, that is, the imperial court will take the lead in demolishing the old houses in the old city and building buildings in a unified manner.
The profits in this are very high, and it is also more capable of driving the upstream and downstream industries.
It's like building a house with sand, cement, and so on, and what about the house? You also need decoration, furniture, and other things, which are all superficial.
Our bank can also carry out the business of lending to individuals. It can be loaned to individuals to buy a house, and the person who buys the house does not have to pay a lump sum payment.
You only need to pay a down payment of 30%, and the rest of the money will be repaid every month.
You can repay it for 10, 20, or 30 years, but of course, the longer it is, the more interest you have.
It's a good business, and when the private businessmen see the profits. They're going to get into the industry!
At that time, I will be able to receive a lot of money just by auctioning off the land. ”
"Handsome.........! This land has been sold, and it will ...... in the future! Ai Husheng was shocked, once the land was sold, it looked like he would get money, but it was a one-time deal.
Li Hao and his staff researched that these lands are taxed every year, and it is not much money to distribute them evenly to each household.
You go and discuss with Li Hao how to levy the law. ”
"No!"
