In the sixth year of Yuan You, the annual income and taxes of the Great Xia were converted into silver, and the total was about 36 million taels of silver.

Jia Cong used the outdated firearms that he had retired from the army to earn nearly 7 million taels from the Japanese people, which was almost one-fifth of the annual income of the national dynasty.

Even if the cost is removed, according to the figure reported by the household department before, the net profit is as high as five million taels of silver......

And just now he listened to this kid, this business will continue soon.

Doesn't that mean that my household is going to get money again?

Hey!

With that said, it seems like a good thing to be a warmonger.

Liu Heng, the emperor, is a little different from the old man of the sage, he doesn't pay much attention to false fame, and has a peculiar obsession with silver.

In his eyes, with the silver court, many things can be done. For example, river control, disaster relief, water conservancy construction, and the development of firearms......

As for fame......

What is the use of me asking for the false name of a benevolent and righteous son of heaven?

"I remember that Goryeo is also interested in buying firearms, right?"

Belch~

Jia Cong was a little embarrassed, it's not that Goryeo didn't buy it......

"Your Majesty, they want to buy it, but this Goryeo is too poor, and there is nothing of value, this ......"

Liu Heng understood what Jia Cong meant, Gao Li is indeed a poor ghost, but Korean ginseng is a good thing.

No matter how bad the women of Goryeo are, it is not bad, it is very difficult for those rough men in the army to marry daughters-in-law, and Daxia is not short of anything now, just the lack of people.

It takes people to fight wars, and it takes people to open up wasteland and cultivate land......

"Sell him, and if you don't have any money, you will exchange Korean ginseng, and what else...... Come near, I have confidential matters for you. ”

Liu Heng was halfway through his words, and his face blushed rarely. When Jia Cong approached curiously, he whispered in his ear: "Although the country of Goryeo is small, it has a large population. They did not have enough food to eat, and they often starved to death of the people. The people of the vassal kingdom are also my people......"

Yes?

Jia Cong's ears moved slightly, and he only heard the emperor say solemnly: "You let people secretly contact the envoys of the Goryeo State and ask them to use Goryeo women of the right age...... And so it goes. ”

Hiss! It turns out that you are such an emperor lord!

God is above, it's so cool to meet such an emperor!

Jia Cong nodded like a chicken pecking rice, Liu Heng thought about it and patiently advised: "You have to find a suitable person to handle this matter, remember, this person has nothing to do with you or Rongguo Mansion." Let him buy people with silver, and then earn it back with firearms......"

Understand, the third master Cong is innocent, the money earned by the Ministry of Industry is clean, and the Great Xia court is just, and it has nothing to do with human trafficking.

As for why Goryeo women appeared in Bactria , the righteous Bactria court discovered the evil of abduction and trafficking and rescued the abducted Goryeo women.

Then the Son of Heaven was gracious, and he couldn't bear the suffering of his people, so he allowed him to marry, making him a happy citizen of Daxia.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Jia Cong had already made a complete plan in his heart.

Regarding the "abduction" of Korean women, the two monarchs and ministers did not have the slightest sense of guilt.

Due to the food shortage in Goryeo, women often starved to death in the winter when they ran out of food.

If you can come to Daxia, it is estimated that you don't need to be tied up, and you will happily get on the boat. When the time comes, as long as the right person is arranged to handle this matter, this is simply a great good deed to accumulate virtue.

"As for the people your father wants, you can also let the Goryeo and Japanese people act as vanguards. You can talk about it yourself, how much you can hire, and if it's not enough, you will be transferred from various health centers. ”

Liu Heng felt more and more the inconvenience caused by the lack of population, there was not enough food to eat before, and now there are not enough people to eat food. Damn, it's inconvenient to do anything if there are fewer people.

He said foul language several times in his heart, and he had a headache!

"Someone, pass on the cabinet, the six ministries and five temples to come over."

……

When Jia Cong walked out of the imperial tent, it was already completely dark, and several figures walked in front of him, which were summoned by the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries and five temples.

After greeting each other for a day or two, Jia Cong did not linger and walked happily to his tent.

After a good night's sleep, early in the morning of the second day, Jia Cong sent his own soldiers back to Beijing to deliver a message, and asked the chief officer of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau to come to Tiewangshan to discuss matters.

After finishing breakfast with his family, he changed into official robes and came to the imperial tent, and the civil and military officials who accompanied him were already waiting for the summons.

Xia Lingxing, the second assistant of the cabinet, as the cabinet minister who accompanied him this time, was discussing something in a whisper with the officials of the six ministries and five temples.

Jia Cong squeezed over curiously, and just happened to hear Shen Shi, the right attendant of the household, say: "It is a good thing to encourage the people to have children, but according to His Majesty's ideas, the pressure on the household is too great......"

"Lord Shen, what does Your Majesty think?"

"Oh? It turned out to be Yongfeng Bo......"

Shen Shi pulled Jia Cong into the circle of everyone, and asked with a smile: "What did Uncle Yongfeng say to His Majesty yesterday?" Why did Your Majesty suddenly summon us and others, saying that he would encourage the people to have children, and planned to send an edict to the Quartet, give birth to three children, and exempt one person from land tax, Ding tax, etc......."

Jia Cong was also stunned, when he came out last night, he thought that the emperor was planning to discuss the two-day ceremony with the important ministers, but he didn't expect that it would be to discuss and encourage childbirth.

The idea is good, but the plan is too rough.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Jia Cong shook his head: "I didn't say anything, I guess I was worried about the lack of people everywhere." Your Excellency also knows that the current dynasty lacks nothing, but it lacks people. ”

Shen Shi smiled bitterly: "Xiaguan also knows that His Majesty's encouragement of childbirth is indeed a problem of lack of people in the country, but the household department is so little bit of a family background, and according to the method that His Majesty said, Xiaguan is afraid that in a few years, the household department will be poor and will starve to death." ”

"Lord Shen doesn't have to worry about money and food, the dynasty will soon be no short of silver and food. Maybe in a few years, Daxia will not even have to collect grain taxes, but it will still be able to subsidize the people who farm. ”

Jia Cong bared his white teeth and grinned. Everyone was shocked by Jia Cong's shocking remarks, and some people slandered in their hearts, although they didn't say it on their faces, but they couldn't hide the eyes of the fool.

The Imperial Grain Country has been collecting taxes for thousands of years, and I have not heard of any dynasty or generation that can not collect grain taxes. If there is no grain tax, where will the imperial court get the money and grain?

Jia Cong glanced at the few officials who were obviously sarcastic, and turned his head to ask Shen Shi: "Lord Shen has been in the household department for several years, and he should know a lot about the income of the household department over the years. What is the change in the proportion of the total annual income between the first year of Yuanyou and last year? ”

Shen Shi subconsciously replied: "Yuan You's annual income in the first year is equivalent to 31.76 million taels of silver, and a total of 26.7 million stones of grain are collected from the field, which is equivalent to more than 27 million taels of silver. Last year, the annual income totaled 37,220,000 taels, and the total grain of the field was 15,800,000 stones, equivalent to about 16 million silver...... Hiss! Xia Guan understood, it was the salt tax and the commercial tax......"

"Last year, there were continuous droughts and floods in various places, and the imperial court exempted a lot of land endowments, but the imperial court's annual income did not decrease but increased, such a big change, you can't see it? After two years of trial opening to the sea, the city shipping department sent 8 million taels of commercial tax to the household department last year alone. Coupled with the salt tax and the commercial tax in various places, it is enough to make up for the lack of land endowment. ”

Jia Cong deliberately glanced at the officials who wanted to laugh at him, and said with a smile: "This is just the beginning, when the scale of the City Department expands, the income of the City Department alone will be enough to support half of the expenditure of the State and the Dynasty." Some people only know that staring at the little money in the hands of the people is really useless! ”

"It's the lower officials who are shallow, thank you Yongfeng Bo for your guidance!"

Shen Shi was stunned, and suddenly bowed down to Jia Cong, which startled Jia Cong.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Don't, you and my uncle are of the same generation, Fold Shouli! ”

Jia Cong jumped aside, avoided Shen Shi's salute, helped him up and said, "Lord Shen, in fact, as long as the imperial court does a good job of opening the sea, it is possible to earn more than 100 million yuan a year......

"Ahem, Your Majesty has sent an edict to all the adults to enter the account."

Xia Shouzhong's sudden appearance interrupted the discussion outside the imperial tent, Jia Cong arched his hand towards a few people, returned to the military general's column and stood up, and arranged for the account.

The policy of encouraging childbirth has not yet been discussed, so naturally it will not be discussed at this morning's imperial account discussion.

Today's main purpose is to discuss the summoning of the various feudal domains, the generals of the nine sides, and the matter of the edict of Yilan the day after tomorrow.

Jia Cong didn't have much interest in these things, and thought about how to fool the people of Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom into South Vietnam to be cannon fodder for the pardon lord.

Why don't you have someone contact with the envoys of the Goryeo and Wa vassal domains?

After the routine discussion of the imperial tent was over, Jia Cong saw that the emperor had no intention of leaving himself to cook, and walked out of the imperial tent leisurely.

Jia Cong went to the camp tent of the Ministry of Rites, and told Nie Chaoyi, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, about his plan, and asked him to talk to the people on both sides first.

Then he became the shopkeeper, took his sister and sister to ride the horse to enjoy the autumn, and played beautifully for two days.

On October 15, the temperature suddenly turned cold last night, and the autumn of the seventh year of Yuanyu was officially announced, and the northern land finally had the appearance of early winter.

Mrs. Xing personally watched the girls in the family put on woolen sweaters, and Jia Cong was also forcibly put on one.

It's been a long time since I've felt the warmth of a cardigan, but I'm a little panicked around my neck.

After Jia Cong came to the big school field, he stood at the forefront of the military generals and scratched and scratched......

"Huh? Cong boy, what is this? ”

Liu Huai, the king of Ji, stretched out his hand and pulled the collar of Jia Cong's exposed woolen sweater, and suddenly became interested.

Good stuff, it looks fluffy and definitely warm.

Jia Cong hurriedly bowed down and said: "Meet Uncle Ji Wang, go back to Uncle Zu, this is a woolen sweater, a new warm clothing from the Ministry of Industry, which has not yet been mass-produced, and my nephew is also an experiment." If your uncle likes it, your nephew will ask someone from the Ministry of Industry to send it to you in a few days. ”

"Cardigan? Warm clothes? ”

The clan relatives on the left and right squeezed over one after another, and began to pick up Raja Cong's clothes one by one.

Most of these people are Jia Cong's grandfathers and uncles, and Jia Cong, who is doing his own thing, has no way to say, so he can only let him "ravage".

After everyone had passed the addiction, Jia Cong tidied up his clothes with tears and laughter.

Liu Ke, the king of Zhongshun, patted Jia Cong's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is much warmer than a brocade hat and mink fur, and it is also easy to wear." Jia Xiaosan, you can't favor one over the other, and send ten or eight pieces to this king. ”

Jia Cong looked up and grinned as he straightened his robe.

"Thirteen masters, the Ministry of Industry not only has woolen sweaters, but also the latest woolen coats, which not only keep warm, but also look more handsome when worn, which is the most suitable for a beautiful man like Thirteen Masters."

The three words of the beautiful man made Liu Ke's eyes begin to light up: "Really? And this kind of goodies? ”

"It's true!"

Jia Cong glanced at Yilan, who was looking at this side, and smiled slightly: "However, the looms used to weave woolen sweaters and woolen coats were made by the Ministry of Industry at a cost of a lot of silver. It's okay to ask for clothes, Thirteen Masters, you have to add money! ”
