Chapter 79: The Imperial Court is short of money
Chun Yuyue cried and his father shouted that his mother was taken away.
His next fate has been sealed.
That is, he was alive on the construction site of Lishan, tired to death.
This is Brother Zheng's temper!
With Chun Yuyue's voice, it gradually disappeared into the main hall, and Brother Zheng finally couldn't hold it back, and the doubts in his heart asked Ying Changsheng.
"Changsheng, I really don't understand, where did you get it, so exquisite, and the price is so cheap?"
Well, Brother Zheng is really puzzled, Chun Yuyue can falsely accuse Win Changsheng.
The reason is not that Chun Yuyue is so stupid.
In fact, the Confucian scholars were smart.
They are nothing more than falling into the wrong thinking for a while.
After all, in the whole world, they have only seen tribute salt in the palace.
I only know that the tribute salt is so clean.
Therefore, when he saw Liu Bang, under Ying Changsheng, selling tribute salt outside, whether it was Chun Yuyue or Brother Zhengge himself, they all subconsciously thought that this was Ying Changsheng who stole the tribute salt in the palace and then sold it outside the palace.
"Father, this is very simple, it is nothing more than the salt well under Chang'er Chen, produced by it!"
Win Changsheng grinned and said to Brother Zheng.
"That Changsheng, what is the cost of this salt you produce?"
Brother Zheng asked.
Cost ......
Ying Changsheng muttered, falling into thought, in fact, he had never personally managed the specific affairs of Yanjing, at this moment, hearing Brother Zheng ask what the production cost was over there, Ying Changsheng really didn't know for a while.
He frowned and muttered.
"Father, what is the specific cost of this, the son does not know, but the minister estimates that it is probably a few dollars a catty......
"How much is a pound?"
The moment he heard this number, Brother Zheng couldn't help but hiss, gasped, and muttered.
"This, how can this be so low? The tribute salt of the East China Sea, the same quality, the cost is higher than yours, I don't know how much, just this, it is still priceless! ”
"Hehe, then how do I know......"
Win Changsheng laughed dryly, and then, Brother Chao Zheng explained.
"Probably, it's the way they produce salt, isn't it......"
Hearing this, Brother Zheng didn't ask more, but asked.
"Changsheng, over there, how many catties can you produce in a day to produce this salt?"
"About a day, can produce two or three thousand catties, of course, this is just the beginning, the output of those who use firewood to salt when boiling water for salt, if you use the salt drying method, the future output will be higher, tens of thousands of catties a day is no longer a problem!"
After thinking for a while, Ying Changsheng explained.
Brother Zheng on the side frowned.
In Brother Zheng's life, there is a very important person, this person, called Lü Buwei, this guy, is a businessman, once, was Brother Zheng's teacher, in later generations, some people say that Lü Buwei is actually Brother Zheng's father.
In fact, this point of view is pure nonsense, the ancients attached much more importance to blood than in modern times, if Brother Zheng is not the bloodline of the royal family of Daqin, then, the clans of Daqin, are unwilling, where will it be Brother Zheng's turn to inherit the throne?
Lü Buwei, the teacher, taught Brother Zheng a lot of truths.
For example, when it comes to business knowledge, I only hear Brother Zheng frowning and muttering.
"That's not right, the production is so high, you kid, you kid still sells it so expensive?"
Yes, the tribute salt of the East China Sea has an annual output of only a few thousand catties, and it is not more than 10,000 catties, so it is so precious.
Naturally, scarcity is precious.
Therefore, the price is sold to a high price.
However, the output of these salts in one day is the output of tribute salt on the other side of the East China Sea in one year.
The price, but it is still sold so expensive.
This is a little bit out of line with the laws of the market......
And Win Changsheng grinned and said.
"Father, I don't know, my sons have been short of money recently!"
"So, I plan to take the opportunity to make that ......"
"Father, think about it, right now, everyone thinks that this is tribute salt, the expensive kind, the son-in-law has a high price, sell it, make an information difference, and after a few days, sell the excess at a low price......"
"In this way, in the past few days, I will be able to make tens of thousands of dollars!"
"You're smart, kid!"
Brother Zheng sighed with emotion, tens of thousands of dollars, but it's a lot.
I only heard Brother Zheng muttering.
"My Great Qin Imperial Court, if only it could make money so easily, it would be good......"
"Father is saying that the court is short of money?"
Brother Ying Changsheng asked.
The first emperor smiled bitterly and said that he would win Changsheng by educating him.
"Silly boy, when will my Daqin not be short of money? No matter how much money you have, there will be times when you run out! ”
"Oh!"
Ying Changsheng nodded.
It's true that money can't stand up to spending, especially for a country, it's not too easy to spend money.
I saw Ying Changsheng muttering after thinking for a moment.
"I have an idea, I don't know if my father wants to listen to it!"
"Tell me about it!"
Brother Zheng hurriedly asked.
"Father, the country has no money, do you think there is any way to solve this problem?"
"Well, it's nothing more than open source, and throttling, two ways!"
Brother Zheng opened his mouth and said after a little thought.
Increasing sources of income and reducing expenditures is indeed the solution to financial problems in all dynasties.
However, this is easier said than done.
However, it is difficult to do.
I only saw Brother Zheng, and his brows twisted and said.
"But, open source? Where is open source? As for throttling, in my eyes, almost none of the things that I did in Daqin were projects that could be cut down, so it didn't work out to throttle, alas, I was really embarrassed......"
Brother Zheng's embarrassment is not without reason.
Great Qin's treasury is a little empty after all.
After all, looking at Brother Zheng's construction project, you can know that Daqin's treasury is not empty, it is very difficult!
However, knowing that the treasury is empty, Brother Zheng has no way to open source.
Because, the ancient people, the method of open source was also very simple and crude.
The ancients opened the source, and generally added taxes.
However, the people of the world, who bear the original taxes, already have many opponents and are dissatisfied, and now, if the taxes are more, I am afraid that the complaints of the public will become more and more serious.
Seeing that Brother Zheng was embarrassed, Ying Changsheng grinned and said to Brother Zheng.
"Father, there is a way for the sons and daughters to multiply the people without giving them money!"
"The people do not increase the endowment and the state multiplies?"
muttering this sentence in his mouth, Brother Zheng's eyes widened.
"This, how is this possible?"
