Chapter 1005: Please point out how to make money
A snow fell in Layue for half a month, this area to the north suffered a snow disaster, the people's houses were crushed by the heavy snow, countless dead and injured, many people in order to survive can only leave their hometowns to go to Beijing or to the south, but the weather is extremely cold, some people have not yet left their hometowns to be hungry and cold, died on the way.
The number of casualties caused by the snow disaster is rising, and the price of food and cloth, and the price of heating items such as firewood and charcoal are also rising day by day.
When the news reached the ears of the saint, he was immediately so angry that he smashed a mutton fat white jade paperweight, and constantly put pressure on the household department and others to provide disaster relief as soon as possible in an attempt to save his respect.
It's not that the household department doesn't want to provide disaster relief, but the treasury is empty, and the sage borrowed a lot of silver from the treasury in order to build an immortal palace, and the account has not been flattened, where is the silver?
No, if you come to disaster relief to make a reputation, the princes who are vying for the crown will fight for a bloody outlet, but this year they are pretending to be quails, and if they can't get out, they won't get out, and those who have no intention of competing for the throne will directly sue for 'frostbite', for fear of being forced to move forward by the emperor's father.
After all, there is no silver, how can disaster relief be played, especially now that the victims have grievances against the saint and the royal family, thinking that the saint will be punished by heaven if he listens to the demon.
In addition, this year is too cold, so it is not good to go out to be cold?
So it's better to do less thankless work.
So, how to help this disaster, who to send as the messenger, at the court meeting, there were all kinds of nonsense.
But before the Qin messenger for disaster relief was selected, the bad news came again, because the weather was too cold at the border pass, the tribal cattle and sheep and even people outside the pass were also frozen to death.
In the first battle at the border pass, winning is winning, but killing 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 themselves, why, because it was too cold, the soldiers were so cold that they were weak, this check, it turned out that the military salary and military baggage did not keep up, they were greedy, and they were not happy at all after the victory, and almost triggered a mutiny.
Now the military camp at the border pass is asking for the money to be sold, otherwise it will be a disaster if there is a mutiny.
Everywhere he reached out to ask for silver, and the officials of the household department were bald as a whole, so they almost begged the national teacher to turn a little stone into gold, there was no way, they were poor!
This year is destined to be difficult!
Now in order to raise good money, the palace is thrifty, and the harem concubines have donated some private money from the queen, and the officials in the court and China have to donate some silver taels, but that is also a drop in the bucket, and some people have hit the idea on those rich businessmen.
After all, in terms of wealth, you have to be the richest in business.
But how can a businessman be willing to pay for money if he pursues profit and has no benefit? The old fox who floats in the sea of business, when it comes to calculation, can the abacus beads ring overseas?
The court was still arguing for the disaster relief candidates, and the household department was trying to get the money as soon as possible, and the new left waiter Cui Shixue couldn't help but find Qin Liuxi.
He is dedicated to the people, and he is also a person who wants to make achievements, and he is a new official, and if he wants to burn this fire and sit firmly in this position, he needs to show the ability to match this position, so he can't miss the credit for disaster relief at the moment.
As for why he was looking for Qin Liuxi, naturally he wanted to ask for a little bit from her, so his general direction would be simple and clear.
In the eyes of others, this may be using the crooked side door to find a shortcut, which is not advisable, but since there is a shortcut, why waste time and take detours, you can do a lot of practical things when you have that time.
As for whether this reputation is good or not, Cui Shixue doesn't care, he just needs to see the results, which can not only bring political achievements but also help the people, that is a good name.
Besides, he's just here to find Xiaoyou to point out the maze, is he a fart side-by-door crooked?
Qin Liuxi saw Cui Shixue coming up, his smile was a little inexplicable, and he looked like he had caught you.
Cui Shixue looked at the hair, and subconsciously looked at the door, shouldn't he come today?
Many years later, he recalled that today, how fortunate he was to walk into this door, it was really the best choice, even if the door was full of thorns.
After saluting each other and sitting down, Cui Shixue asked directly to the point: "The smile of the Lord, but I will come if I am sure?" ”
Qin Liuxi pushed the tea over and said with a faint smile: "When Master Cui came, I smiled." ”
"This is Zen?"
Qin Liuxi smiled and said nothing: No, it was you who took the initiative to become a thief...... The big ship that is making trouble, my heart is happy!
Cui Shixue took a sip of tea and said, "Looking at the master's magical powers, I won't beat around the bush." This time, I actually want to ask the Lord to give you a few points, how to enrich the treasury? ”
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Cui wants me to instruct the household department on how to compete with the people for profit?" ”
If this is the case, she doesn't dare to give advice, and the household department is still competing with the people for profit, so the people have no way out.
"Don't dare." Cui Shixue said: "You know that the imperial court wants to provide disaster relief now, and I won't hide it from you, the silver money that can be used by the treasury now is only a million, which is a disaster with a heart, and it is also difficult for a smart woman to do a disaster without rice." So I can only come with a cheeky face, and ask the viewer to point out how to make money. ”
God is pitiful, he was supposed to take office after the year, but as soon as he entered Beijing to report, he encountered such a thing and immediately took office, which is nothing, but when he saw the almost deficit account book of the household department, his eyes turned black.
It's so poor!
Especially now that the saints have repeatedly pressured them to allocate funds for disaster relief, which of the officials of their household department has not lost several beards for this?
"If it's just fundraising for disaster relief, then I'm not out of ...... way, this is a little bit of " Qin Liuxi knocked on the table.
Cui Shixue was very good, and hurriedly took out a small stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, put them on the table, and said, "This is hexagram gold." ”
Qin Liuxi looked at the stack of silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels, and asked with a smile: "Lord Cui, is this using public funds, or is it out of his own pocket?" ”
"This is what I personally want, and naturally I pay out of my own pocket." Using public funds to ask hexagrams, is it because the people of Yushitai are in a panic, and they have nothing to write and hand over the handle?
Qin Liuxi only drew a silver ticket and said, "That's enough, just remember the favor." ”
Cui Shixue was stunned, is this his favor?
What does she want to do?
I want to rebel!
Qin Liuxi said: "I heard that since the time of the first emperor, there are many old ministers who owe a lot of silver to the imperial court, and they have not paid it off for so many years, even if they leave, the debts are still there." ”
Cui Shixue smiled bitterly: "You are in the same place as me, and when I saw the deficit in the ledger, I also had the idea of this debt." I have looked through the files of the past, and I am not afraid that you will laugh at them, but the total accounts owed by each family are as much as two million taels, and you say that you can take them back, how lenient it is. But if it is so easy to collect debts, there will not be so much backlog. In addition, the debts are not pressing, those old fritters don't look at them as upright, compared to those second bastards, they don't lose at all. When it comes to repaying debts, they are no more competent. ”
In fact, this account is also the heart of the household department, which household department Shangshu does not want to close this account? But those old ministers, how can they take it out so easily, they either can't afford it, or they rely on it, if you go to collect debts, people will play scoundrels, you can pull the skin, but you don't want money!
You have to be tough, people can go out and kneel in front of the saints and cry for the first emperor, who can play with them?
Qin Liuxi took the tea and said, "That is, there is no right medicine, as long as you see the right symptoms, it is not difficult to collect debts." Which one doesn't have a weak need? You've got to get the pulse right. ”
Cui Shixue's heart moved: "If you ask the Lord to make a move, presumably everything in this vein will be accurate." ”
Looking at his eager eyes, Qin Liuxi was a little amused.
"Master Cui, I'm just an outsider, if you do everything you should do, you should be ashamed to see people." It's just to collect debts, of course she can, but why should she do it, she didn't take the court's money.
Cui Shixue said with a formal face: "As long as you can get it back, the official is not ashamed at all, the official is three feet thick!" ”
What is shame, can it cure the disease of poverty, the household is already terminally ill, and only silver can cure it.
Qin Liuxi: "......"
I didn't expect you to be quite brazen!
She ignored the other party's hot and expectant eyes, and said with a haha: "Master Cui is a capable person, since he has a thick skin, he will definitely cut the pulse." However, even if these debts are recovered, it is a drop in the bucket, and if you want to raise a large amount of good money, you have to plan from the outside. ”
Here comes the main course.
Cui Shixue hurriedly asked: "For example?" ”
"In this world, the richest people are just rich businessmen, they almost choke 70% of Datan's silver money, but no one's silver money is blown by the wind, they have to work hard, let them donate a small amount of money, if it is not beneficial, don't even think about it."
Cui Shixue nodded: "So it's also a problem to take money from them." ”
"This problem is easy to solve, rich and rich, rich but not expensive, that is just empty treasure and nameless, the lowest businessmen, they want to be expensive, they want fame, you just prepare from this aspect." Qin Liuxi said: "In the name of the official, let's hold a charity auction." ”
Cui Shixue was stunned: "What is this?" ”
"Charity auctions, the beautiful name is charity, and the money from the auction is naturally used for disaster relief, so the name is also known. As I said earlier, being rich but not expensive is a sore foot for merchants, they don't lack silver, they lack fame and expensive, so they like to be vassals and elegant, and they also try their best to change the face of their families. ”
Qin Liuxi pinched the teacup and said, "It is difficult for a merchant to take the road of the imperial examination, if there is an opportunity for this reference, I will be happy to pay for it." ”
Cui Shixue frowned: "If you are from a business background and take the imperial examination, once you pass the examination, and you have a huge amount of money, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the people." ”
"This can be a card condition, those who pass the exam must give up their business membership and business, how can they grasp all the benefits in their hands?" Qin Liuxi said: "And this reference opportunity, it's not for you to send the street, what is an auction, naturally the highest bidder wins, set five places to take out the auction, how much silver do you say they are willing to take in exchange?" ”
"In addition to such a reference quota, there are other treasures, charity, the person who donated the goods is for good, and the winner of the auction is also for good. If you are willing to pay for the auction, then you must also have things, such as the sage's calligraphy, or some rare calligraphy and paintings given by the great Confucian masters, donations, by personal willingness, all the proceeds are used for disaster relief, isn't this everyone famous. By the way, prepare a few more vouchers, once the auction money from the individual reaches which amount, the official voucher can be issued, even if it is a small bronze medal, it is best to come from the sage Mobao, and certify a good title, you say that you want to draw this reputation, who is not willing to pay money? ”
Cui Shixue's heart was pounding, this is too good.
"Actually, it's also a deal, but it's just a charity skin and a better reputation. Once such an auction is held, the number of places to enter is already a good name. ”
Think about it, such an auction, can ordinary people enter, this can't ah, those who participate in the auction do not have a certain capital and status, who will let you join in the fun?
And those who can come, if they are not rich, they are expensive, and when the time comes, the admission brand will be an honorary card.
Cui Shixue seemed to see such a feast, took a sip of tea, and asked, "You are an outsider, how can you still understand this?" "Isn't it a daily prayer to catch ghosts?
Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "I'm just picking up people's teeth, not what I think." ”
The name of the golden holy hand of the uncle is not fake.
Cui Shixue said: "This idea is really good. But now that disaster relief is imminent, it is not a matter of a day or two to organize such an auction. ”
"The Jiuxuan Auction Hall can set up the platform within two days, but if you want to make it look good and have more time, you can also prepare it for the good people who come to participate, after all, you have to prepare donations, right? If you want to add fame, you also have to prepare gorgeous jewelry. ”
"There's plenty of time, and that won't save the fire."
Qin Liuxi said with a smile: "Jiuxuan Auction Hall is the No. 1 auction hall in Beijing, and it doesn't have much family background, but it's not impossible to pay millions of donations first." ”
Cui Shixue: And this good thing?
"So the quota for this auction, in addition to the official quota, the rest should be sold by Jiuxuan, right? The commission also has to be taken 10%. ”
Cui Shixue: "......"
Aren't you dialing, why are you still talking about business?
"Don't worry. In this auction, Jiuxuan donated a bottle of Angong Dan from the Palace of Eternal Life, two bottles of top-grade ginseng Yangrong Pills, and three bottles of Yuxue Muscle to contribute to this disaster relief. ”
Cui Shixue stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and discuss with Lord Shangshu, then this auction ......"
"You let people communicate with Jiuxuan's Liu Steward."
"Okay." Cui Shixue responded, and left without having time to greet her.
Qin Liuxi thought about the scope of this snow disaster, and his smile fell, the natural disaster was irresistible, so he could only do his best to do good.
"Huh?" Qin Liuxi felt that there was merit and belief in the spiritual platform, and she was a little surprised, her fingers pinched, her face was a little warmer, and she called Teng Zhao and Shen Shen out of Jiuxuan. (End of chapter)
