As soon as the early dynasty began, Xia Yan smiled at the three of them: "The three of you have been very busy and hard these days. ”

The first to step forward was Yuan Liyang, who looked radiant with a spring breeze on his face at this moment.

"Your Majesty is not bitter, let me make a report first, first of all, the warship, bow and gun handle required by His Majesty are being made quickly, and the progress is gratifying, and we have deliberately added some extra money to them, and it is expected to be completed in half a month."

"Yes, yes, yes."

It can be seen that Xia Yan's mood is very comfortable, and such news is really good news for himself.

Seeing Xia Yan's happiness, the six masters on the side also spoke.

"The task assigned by His Majesty has been completed so beautifully, it is really worthy of Yuan Shangshu!"

"Yes, yes, I walked by the Taihu Lake two days ago and saw hundreds of people cutting wood, such a large formation efficiency is really fast!"

"It seems that Yuan Shangshu's official position is stable!"

Under the praise of everyone, Yuan Liyang couldn't help but tap his mustache, picked up his Huazi and sucked it violently, looking very proud.

Xia Yan didn't care about this, there had never been such a thing as Chaotang Gangji since the first day he came here, and they wouldn't interfere even if they picked their feet below.

Soon, Xia Yan's joy disappeared in fright by the next message.

I saw that after Yuan Liyang finished speaking, Di Renjie stepped forward silently.

"Your Majesty, the crime rate in Nanling City has reached an astonishing 0 in the past seven days, and the people all love His Majesty's policies, and now every family lives and works in peace and contentment, and the market is prosperous."

"Well, that's a good thing."

Hearing this, Xia Yan was still quite happy.

Although he wants to lose his country, he just wants to go back after all.

Letting the people live a hard life for their own sake is not what Xia Yan wants to see.

And at this juncture, it is not a big problem to slightly improve the lives of some people.

Anyway, ninety percent of the tax-paying people did not rebel at the beginning, let alone now.

Since you can't count on them, it's better to be better for them.

Even if there is a slight increase in popular sentiment, it is a drop in the bucket after all, and it has no impact on the overall situation.

But soon, the market boomed, Di Renjie did not stop, but continued.

"Now, under the management of the Criminal Department, several commercial streets have been formed in the city, and the commercial streets are full of people, so our own industry is also doing well."

"Own industry? ……”

Xia Yan was a little puzzled, but Di Renjie continued to remind.

"It's all kinds of shops that we have collected from the squire, there are restaurants, Yixiang courtyards, weapon shops, pharmacies, trading houses, etc., the business is very stable these days, and the daily profit after removing all kinds of costs is more than 200 taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, the six old men gave thumbs up.

"Hey, two hundred taels a day, isn't that more than 70,000 a year? Sure enough, Your Majesty is still wise, when has our Great Xia been so generous! ”

"Yes, yes, a net income of more than 70,000 taels a year, this is all the credit of the three adults!"

"That's it, plus the reappearance of the dragon slaying sword a few days ago, the rise of the Great Xia Dynasty is just around the corner!!"

A group of old men were overjoyed, but Xia Yan had a headache.

This Di Renjie himself is the secretary of the Criminal Department, but now he has to go to the household department to help.

Now he is still taking people from the Criminal Department to manage market stability, and he is really not a worry-free master every day.

Moreover, now with the income of these stores, the annual income will increase by more than 70,000 taels.

This is an income worth paying attention to, and more than 70,000 taels is not a small amount.

If you don't increase some reasonable but useless expenses, it is very easy to capsize in the gutter.

But now, Xia Yan is still a little confident.

These two points alone should not increase the overall national strength by 50 points.

I was still able to fail my mission as I thought before.

Moreover, there are still a lot of playing cards that can be produced every day, which can also consume a lot of silver.

Overall, it's not too much of a loss.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan smiled at the three people below.

"Not only that, but it's also very hard for the three of them to produce playing cards."

Hearing this, Yuan Liyang, Di Renjie, and Zhuge Liang all looked at each other and smiled.

Then Zhuge Liang and the remaining two glanced at each other, and then came to the center of the court, lit a Huazi and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, it's not hard, but it costs a lot of travel expenses to and from other countries, and Your Majesty can be reimbursed when you are free."

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to look at the Huazi in his hand.

"Huazi is good, Your Majesty can also use Huazi to deduct."

So far, although the production line of Huazi has been fully opened, due to the great demand of the army, there are not many Huazi that can be revealed.

There is no way to buy it on the market.

Even officials at the prime minister's level like Zhuge Liang and Zhu Ming need to allocate Huazi according to their needs.

Such as Zhuge Liang can receive twenty Huazi every day.

It's just that because Huazi is too attractive, such a quantity is not enough at all.

Xia Yan was naturally aware of this situation, and he also smiled, "Okay, okay, if the prime minister wants Huazi, it must be arranged." ”

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly thought of something, "Wait a minute...... What do you mean when you say you travel to and from other countries? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhuge Liang below raise his head slightly, holding Huazi in one hand and fanning the feather fan in the other, and seemed to be very proud.

"Sell goods, we have sold a lot of playing cards that have been produced recently~"

Xia Yan, who listened to these words directly, was dumbfounded: "Selling goods? Who let you sell? ”

"Didn't you say that we are in charge of everything about playing cards."

“……。”

Hearing this, Xia Yan simply couldn't say anything.

I did say this myself, but I didn't want you to sell it......

Xia Yan was very helpless, but you all pulled it out and sold it, so you can't say that you won't sell it.

So he asked cautiously.

"How much did you sell?"

Zhuge Liang came out and snapped his fingers and said: "In seven days, a total of 8,500 pairs of playing cards were shipped, and a total of 6,500 pairs of playing cards were shipped, including a total of 6,500 pairs of cards supplied to the army, which was about the same as we expected, basically as long as it arrived at the place and turned back, it was sold out immediately, so now the return from the sale of playing cards alone is as high as 65,000 taels, and a total of 60,000 taels of silver have entered the treasury including the cost of opening up channels." ”

"Well, Your Majesty, don't worry, it's really not much, that's just sixty thousand taels, and there will be more in the future."

After speaking, Di Renjie on the side was also full of smiles.

"Yes, yes, it's only 60,000 taels, not much."
