Chapter 44 Everyone earns money, and the prime minister is no exception

I have to say that Li Feiqiu also knows a little about human nature. How can you make a business long-lasting? Quite simply, as long as everyone in the chain has money to make, that's enough.

Therefore, he left dozens of medicinal herbs so that Ziyun could make less money; A subsidy can allow the people to earn a little more; stimulate people's consumption, so that the traders who come here can sell more goods; Send money to local governments so that they can share the soup and drink. In this way, everyone has money to take during the entire transaction process, and as long as everyone abides by the rules, this industrial chain will not collapse for 10,000 years.

……

"My lord, there's a letter for you!" This morning, Chen Qi, the county magistrate of Shangyang County, Northwest Prefecture, had just walked to the county office when a government official rushed in.

Chen Qi is the seventh in the family, so his original name is Chen Qi. When I was a child, I once rescued a marginal person from a small family in the mountains and forests, and this person's family was very small. The current four major families of Feng Mo and Gu Bai were all second-tier clans before, but the first-tier clans were all killed, so these four great clans rose.

And this person's clan was even dozens of times smaller than Feng Mo Gu Bai's second-tier clan at that time, and this was also a marginal figure, and his status in the clan was only a little better than that of his subordinates. But with such a status, there is still something that a commoner does not have, that is, he can read and write.

In order to repay Chen Qi for saving his life, he took Chen Qi to his family's school and let him read and write. Chen Qi also changed his name to Chen Qi from that time. Chen Qi studied quite hard and soon became one of the few intellectuals of this era.

But if you want to be an official, knowledge alone is not enough. Because there are so many officials, there are not enough divisions within the clan, he is a civilian with a little culture, in the eyes of those old men, you still want to be an official? Dream on!

So Chen Qi changed from a civilian to a literate civilian, living his life as he should, occasionally helping his neighbors write a letter to distant relatives or something, and he could make a little money.

Until the night of the coup d'état three years ago, the Dashi clan was killed, and a lot of officials were cleaned up, and many places were vacated. In addition, Prime Minister Liu Yulin began to support civilian-born officials, and he took this opportunity to be elected as the county magistrate of Shangyang County. Because the grassroots officials such as the county magistrate are mostly served by literate crystal soul people to maintain the local Ye'an, he has become one of the few male county magistrates.

If you want to say how well he is in this county order, it can only be said that he is decent and has not made any achievements, but the people also live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives can only be said to be quite dull.

Because his family is in the local area, and he doesn't have any distant relatives and friends, he can't imagine that someone will write to him. took the letter, and it was written: Shangyang County Commander Chen Qi personally opened.

In this age when paper is quite precious, it is not common to use letters to convey information if it is not important information, and it is clear that the sender of this letter has important information to tell him. This made Chen Qi even more puzzled, who would write to him? Curious, he opened the letter and read it.

Izumo County ordered Li Feiqiu to say goodbye again.

Chen Qi's foot: Diligent Xuande Lingde, when the name is clear, Rong asked Xiu Chang, fortunately. So far in the ninth month, he was favored by the prime minister, obtained this official position, and was ordered to come, and sighed all night, lest he do nothing, and in the name of hurting the prime minister, he was ashamed of his majesty's trust.

However, Yu Shi had no talent, hesitated for several days, and did not encounter a good opportunity. Distraught, he went out of the city, saw a lot of Chinese medicinal materials in the warehouse, and inquired, learned that it was sent to the front line by colleagues from all over the country in previous years, because the front line needed enough, stored here, to be cleaned up in the next year.

Yu felt that this was really a tyrannical thing, so he wanted to use it. With the acquiescence of the prime minister, he sold it to Ziyun and obtained the property in order to improve the current situation of Izumo's poverty. However, this medicinal material was the result of the hard work of the people everywhere, and Yu could not bear to swallow the money alone, so he sent it back to his colleagues, so that he could return it to the people on his behalf, although it was not enough to pay off, but it was also Yu's intention.

Goodbye, Li Feiqiu.

The letter is really not very good, but the general meaning is that Chen Qi understands it, that is, the medicinal materials they sent over were sold by Li Feiqiu, and after the money from the sale of the medicine, he divided it and sent it back to them.

Flipping through the envelope, a silver ticket worth five hundred taels of silver floated out of it, and it looked like this was the income that Li Feiqiu sent them.

Every year, he sends three times the amount of medicinal materials sent to the front line. On the one hand, I really don't need so much here; On the other hand, there is also a loss of medicinal materials on the road. However, the medicinal materials sent to Izumo Prefecture must have been much more than the prescribed amount, and as for the extra medicinal materials, they must have been thrown away, because no matter where they are, it is unlikely that so many hemostatic medicinal materials will be used.

Although he felt a pity for these wasted medicinal materials, it was also a waste to stay with him, it was better to let them rot elsewhere, at least if he didn't see them, he wouldn't feel distressed.

But now, this batch of medicinal materials has been sold, and he can actually receive a return, although five hundred taels of silver is not much, but there is better than nothing, I never expected that after sending medicinal materials to the front line for three years, I can still receive the money back today, it is really incredible, and looking at Li Feiqiu's meaning, the prime minister seems to know about this matter, since this is the case, Chen Qi is even more relieved.

"Go and tell the people who hand in the medicinal materials every year that they have come to the county government to receive money, although it is not much, but it is better than nothing." Chen Qi didn't keep the money, he gave a little to the officials, and the rest was returned to the people who handed in the medicinal materials.

Because he was originally from a civilian background, he lived a fairly simple life, and there were not many places to spend money. Moreover, if the money is returned to the people, they will hand in more medicinal herbs in the coming year. Paying in medicinal materials could have been exempted from certain taxes, but now handing in medicinal materials can not only be tax-free, but also get money, and of course the people are willing to do this kind of thing.

In various places in Qingyu, letters and money were received from Li Feiqiu, including Liu Yulin, the prime minister who returned to Qingdu.

"What's this?" Liu Yulin looked at a silver ticket of one thousand taels on the table and asked.

"Oh, it was given by the prefectural order of Izumo Prefecture, and he said that a lot of medicinal materials were sold this year, and the money was sent here." A bookish girl sitting at the table said that she was a student of Liu Yulin and a helper for him in handling government affairs. Because she is a military advisor-type crystal soul person, her brain is quite smart and yin, and she can handle a lot of government affairs with a little guidance, and she is one of his successors.

"Is this a bribe?" Liu Yulin looked at the silver ticket on the table and asked.

"Well, in fact, the governors and prefectural orders in various places have received it, what he means is that we collect medicinal materials and transport them to Izumo, and the freight is a lot of money, although this thousand taels of silver is not much, but it can make up for it a little.

Most of the proceeds from the sale of medicine were used to subsidize the people, and the remaining part was sent to local officials, so that they could give a share to the people, and finally the remaining part was given to us. Here is a summary of his letter and income and expenditure.

It was the first time I had encountered this situation, and I didn't know what to do, so I sent the ticket and the letter to the teacher to deal with it. Meng Jianwei said.

"This kid is very good at human nature, now it's okay, I estimate that there will be more medicinal materials sent to him in the lunar year." Liu Yulin laughed.

"Then I'll send this money to the household department?" Meng Jianwei asked.

"Or else? Do you still want to keep the money? Liu Yulin glanced at her.

"Teacher, I don't have anything, just look, you don't have anything at home, since this money has been sent to you, Lord Li's meaning is very obvious, that is, let you handle the money yourself. And the income and expenditure summary table deliberately left a blank in the 'attrition' column, which I guess he probably intends to give you directly. As long as we fill in the 'loss' column with 1,000 taels of silver, we can directly accept the money,......" Meng Jianwei said.

"That's why I said this kid is very good at doing things, but unfortunately, I might have dealt with him in the past. But now, this sleek quality is important both internally and externally.

When I get to my position, I have to learn to be tactful, and now that I think about it, I was too rigid towards the previous clan, which may be the reason why they wanted to get rid of me and the former emperor.

You say, if I had made compromises at that time, pretended to agree to their conditions, and then slowly dealt with these clans afterwards, would they not have done anything to the emperor......" Liu Yulin closed his eyes and said in a low voice, as if he was asking Meng Jianwei, as if he was asking himself.
