"This ......"

After Xiang Yan finished speaking, there was silence in the Chengqian Palace for a long time.

Zhao Longji, Xiang Guozhong, and Xiang Guifei were all stunned!

Of course!

It's not that they're too shocked.

Instead, Xiang Yan's words were the same as if they weren't said.

"Stone, do you still need such nonsense, do you want to tell Your Majesty? Get out of here! ”

Xiang Guozhong knelt on the ground, raised his head and pulled Xiang Yan's sleeve.

He didn't want Xiang Yan to talk anymore.

In the end, isn't it just a matter of sending a princess and a kiss, or paying some silver to cut some cities?

I have my own Lao Tzu here.

What is Xiang Yan talking about!

"Nonsense? Then Dad, let me ask you, do you know how to expand the treasury in the shortest possible time? ”

"I don't know ......"

"Do you know how to delay the Turks' troops?"

"I don't know ......"

"Do you know how to ban greed?"

"No, I don't know."

Every time Xiang Yan asked, Xiang Guozhong's tone weakened a point!

But at the same time, Zhao Longji's eyes became shiny with Xiang Yan's questions.

"Xiang Yan, you mean this, you know all this?"

Seeing Xiang Yan's serious appearance, Zhao Longji inexplicably ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He felt that Xiang Yan in front of him might have some hidden talents!

"Of course!"

Xiang Yan's tone was quite resolute.

"Okay, get up, Xiang Yan quickly tell me what you think!

Zhao Longji waved his hand and let the Xiang brothers and sisters stand up, and then he sat back on the seat.

"Your Majesty, if you want to do what I said about the Great Zhou and the four provinces, the best way is to insist, and you must first settle the inside of the way!"

Xiang Yan arched his hand and said lightly.

"Oh? How should we practice the law of securing the outside and the inside? ”

Zhao Longji had some doubts on his face, it was the first time he had heard this kind of statement.

"Your Majesty, after standing for so long, my waist is so sore!"

Xiang Yan didn't answer in a hurry, but twisted his waist.

"You little bastard, I haven't rested after standing for so long, and you dare to ask Your Majesty to give you a seat?!"

Xiang Guozhong was on the side, and after hearing Xiang Yan's words, he instantly became anxious......

Stone this kid, is he smart or naïve!

Say strategy, talk about strategy!

How do you always do something, you may commit the following things!

"Haha, okay, you Xiang Shi, come here, give Xiang Aiqing and Xiang Yan a seat!"

Zhao Longji suddenly realized, and he immediately asked people to bring two stools, which were shorter than the main seat.

And after sitting down comfortably.

Xiang Yancai spoke:

"Your Majesty, you must already know that the reason why the New Turkic Khan wants to start a war is to establish his prestige in the Turks, right?"

"Hmm!"

Zhao Longji nodded.

This swallow is well analyzed, it seems that there is indeed something!

"The stone has become smarter!"

At this moment, Xiang Guozhong opened his mouth in shock, his own foolish stone, how smart he had become? !

You know it!

"But Stone, what does this you mean is an external threat, what does it have to do with what you said about governing the country?"

"Hey, Dad, it's really not wrong to say that you have developed limbs and a simple mind, I really don't know what Your Majesty thinks, and I actually asked you to assist the government."

Xiang Yan couldn't help complaining, and Xiang Guozhong suddenly glared.

"You rebel, I think you have itchy skin, even you dare to mock!"

Xiang Guozhong stretched out his hand and was about to pat Xiang Yan's head, but after seeing Zhao Longji's face show a trace of displeasure.

His hand retracted again!

"Xiang Yan continues!"

Zhao Longji urged.

"Your Majesty, when I entered the palace with my father, I found that the shops were prosperous along the streets, and the most lucrative of them were salt and iron."

In fact, before entering the palace, Xiang Yan didn't expect that Da Zhou, who occupied the central part of Kyushu, would let salt and iron be sold privately!

"Salt iron?"

Zhao Longji frowned, he didn't understand why Xiang Yan wanted to talk about salt and iron.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you may not know in the palace that salt and iron are the most indispensable things in the homes of ordinary people!"

"If the people have no salt for a long time, they will be unable to work and affect production; If the people have no iron, it will be difficult to cultivate and affect agriculture! ”

"Therefore, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the business of salt and iron has been scrambling to be done by the wealthy families of all walks of life."

"This also leads to uneven market prices, and even some traitors will maliciously raise prices, and the people are miserable."

"The wealthy merchants hoarded a lot of gold and silver wealth through the salt and iron trade, but the taxes they paid were a fraction of the money."

"This is the main reason for the emptiness of the treasury!"

Xiang Yan's voice just fell.

Zhao Longji understood what he meant!

"Do you want the imperial court to take back the right to sell salt and iron?"

Zhao Longji's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty is wise, if the official family controls the salt and iron business, the price can be unified, and the profit from the sale can be reduced, reducing the high taxes of the people."

"In this way, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the treasury will be refilled a hundred times better than gold and silver flowing into the hands of rich merchants!"

Xiang Yan nodded and told him how to expand the treasury!

In fact, it can't be said that it is his method!

It's just that Xiang Yan, as a graduate student of the Department of Archaeology, knows about the relevant changes in the "Salt and Iron Theory"!

Once the salt and iron are controlled by the government, there is the entire national strength of the Great Zhou State as a guarantee!

It will be able to replenish the national treasury with huge profits while stabilizing the market price of salt and iron!

The government can concentrate more manpower and material resources into production, and even develop some agricultural tools such as iron plows and farm tools.

Dramatically increase productivity!

"Good, good, good! The importance of this salt and iron is really the foundation of the country! ”

"Uncle Guo, you have really cultivated a good son!"

Regarding Xiang Yan's strategy, Zhao Longji said three good words one after another!

It is enough to see his heartfelt admiration for Xiang Yan!

"Xiang Yan, let me ask you, you said that you can prohibit the trend of greed, but there is a specific way?"

The emptiness of the treasury was resolved, and Zhao Longji's trust in Xiang Yan rose a few points.

"Your Majesty, the only way to deal with corrupt officials and corrupt officials is to kill!"

Xiang Yan showed a hint of fierceness on his face.

"Kill what? Corrupt officials? ”

Xiang Guozhong suddenly said in shock!

He had just recovered from the shock of being hit by Xiang Yan's first policy!

I heard this little rabbit cub say kill corrupt officials!

Damn!

The biggest corrupt official is himself!

This kid, do you want to go against Tiangang and give it to yourself, who is Lao Tzu!

"Do you kill them all, or do you want to make an example?"

Xiang Guozhong swallowed his saliva, these two ways of killing can be said to be fundamentally different!

"Kill them all!"

Xiang Yan glanced at the cheap dad.

At this moment, even Zhao Longji was stunned, he didn't expect Xiang Yan to have such murderous intentions before he reached the crown.

The reason why I know the disadvantages of the Great Zhou, but I am afraid after ascending the throne, is because there are too many corrupt officials!

But if it is all killed, who will stabilize Da Zhou for himself?!

It's a bit tricky!

"I don't know Your Majesty, but are you familiar with official characters?"

Xiang Yan saw Zhao Longji's unspeakable secret, he did not force Zhao Longji to make a choice, but continued to ask.

"When I was in contact with civil and military officials, how could I not be familiar with official characters."

Zhao Longji didn't understand why Xiang Yan asked like this, let me ask this world, is there anyone who knows officials better than him?

"Your Majesty, the official is in charge, and in ancient times there was the meaning of managing all the people, and the official added the man; The official is dressed as She; The official adds wood to the coffin ......"

As Xiang Yan listed the words related to the official, Zhao Longji's eyes gradually became confused.

"Xiang Yan, what exactly do you want to say?"

Zhao Longji couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, I have listed so many words, do you know if there are any words related to the golden characters and with officials?"

"Nope!"

Zhao Longji thought for a moment and shook his head seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you know no, since there is not, is it justified for officials to be corrupt?"

"Since there is none, is there any basis for them to fish and eat the people?"

"Since there is none, then they deceive the superiors and subordinates, is there still a national law?"

"Even the ancients who made words knew that officials can't or even can't have anything to do with gold and silver wealth!"

"Official corruption is a thief, a thief who steals the country, they are careless of people's lives, forming a party for personal gain, and preying on the people, which is the root of the damage to the country!"

"You say, for a group of thieves, should you kill them?!"

In the Chengqian Palace, Xiang Yan's voice became louder and louder, and even in the end, the entire palace was echoing.

And the voice shook in Zhao Longji's heart, and for a while, he felt that the figure of Xiang Yan in front of him was rapidly rising!

It seems that at this moment, he is no longer a famous man in Kyoto.

He is a saint with great knowledge and great wisdom!

"Your Majesty, if you confiscate the property of corrupt officials, you can still replenish the treasury, do you think you should kill them all?!"

Eventually, a loud cheer rang out.

Zhao Longji's body trembled, and he actually had a sense of empowerment!

"Damn it!"

"Spread my will, after today, all corrupt officials and corrupt officials will be killed!"

Finish your will.

Zhao Longji sat on the main seat and was silent for a long time.

Today, he has some different views on this simple stone of the Xiang family!

Could it be that this kid is not born stupid, but wise and stupid?!

Everything he used to do was pretended?!

"It's over, it's over!"

As soon as Zhao Longji's words fell, Xiang Guozhong's face was extremely pale, and fine beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.

After Xiang Yan's poem is finished today, they shouldn't continue to stay here.

Although everything he does is left to his subordinates to do.

But if Your Majesty really wants to track it down, then you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!

O iniquity!

Why did you give birth to such a rebel?

Isn't this pushing yourself to a dead end!

Now Xiang Guozhong has some tears in his heart.
