Chapter 463: Maritime Silk Road, Responsibility Attribution
"The problem is coming to me again?"
"Your Majesty, when the three major factories were in my hands at that time, everyone didn't say that."
"If the three major factories had been in my hands, there would not be these problems now, and now if there is a problem, I will be asked to wipe my ass, is it too much?"
Fang Yuan said with grievances.
The three major factories were originally their own, but they were later seized by the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian.
Because various problems just appeared, and the problems of the three major factories were difficult to solve, Fang Yuan gave them easily.
But giving them to them does not mean that the three major factories have to solve their own problems after they have problems, and they are not their own factories.
"Fang Yuan, now it's not the problem of the three major factories, it's the problem of inflation!"
The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice.
He couldn't let Fang Yuan worry about the problems of the three major factories.
Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to you next.
"In my opinion, it's the problem of the three major factories."
"As long as the problems of the three major factories are solved, inflation can be solved."
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
"Nonsense!"
"The fundamental problem of the three major factories is that there are too many banknotes, how can it be said that solving the problem of the three major factories will solve inflation?"
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't want to.
He just felt that Fang Yuan was deliberately diverting the contradiction in this way.
Fang Yuan also snorted coldly, and did not reply to Eldest Sun Wuji's words.
"Fang Yuan, you said that solving the problems of the three major factories can solve inflation?"
Li Shimin secretly cursed Fang Yuan in his heart, and then asked obediently.
Inflation is related to the problems of the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty, so he has to take the initiative.
"It doesn't make sense in principle, but it can be in practice."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Since the beginning of inflation, Fang Yuan has been thinking about how to solve it.
I haven't been able to come up with a solution before, so I sold the three major factories to the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian in disguise.
Today, Fang Yuan has a preliminary idea that he should be able to solve the problem of inflation.
Even if it can't be completely solved, it can be completely suppressed and disappear over time.
"Speak quickly!"
Li Shimin suddenly asked excitedly.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian and the others also looked at Fang Yuan.
Neither of them believed that Fang Yuan could solve inflation by solving the three major factories, and felt that Fang Yuan was deliberately pushing the problem to the three major factories in order to achieve ulterior motives.
"Your Majesty, the Ming people don't say dark words."
"The eldest grandson Shangshu and Gao Shangshu used improper means to take away my three major factories, and united the three provinces and six ministries to dismiss me, and I am very resentful."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
When the words fell, the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian's mouths opened wide.
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but step forward slightly, full of surprise.
This kind of thing can be said to his face, Fang Yuan is low EQ or what is he doing?
For this reason, Ma Zhou couldn't help but give Fang Yuan a thumbs up, feeling that Fang Yuan was happy.
When he was a teacher, he was not used to the hypocrisy of some officials.
"Fang Shilang, don't spray people with blood!"
"The three major factories were obviously sold to us by you, and you didn't take less when you collected the money."
"And your demotion, you made a mistake, and the three provinces and six departments went through the process of demotion, and it has nothing to do with the two of us!"
The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice.
Whether it is the three major factories or Fang Yuan's demotion, they are all justified.
Although they are all the leads, they all follow the formal process.
An operation like Fang Yuan's blood-spewing man, he was the most unaccustomed to it, and he would never admit it.
"I bought the land of the three major factories, and I built the factory buildings, and you only gave compensation, not money to buy them."
"Eldest Sun Shangshu, if you have an opinion, we can take out the list to confront each other and see if it is to sell or compensate."
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
The transaction of the three major factories at that time could not be said to be sold.
It's just that Fang Yuan doesn't want it anymore, so he gives them to the eldest grandson Wuji, and by the way, asks for some compensation.
"Hmph, confrontation is confrontation!"
The eldest grandson Wuji was not afraid, and said coldly.
"Alright, don't make any noise!"
"Fang Yuan, how can you solve the inflation problem!"
Li Shimin slapped the table angrily and said angrily.
It is estimated that Fang Yuan has a solution, but he is resentful.
Then let's see how we can resolve the resentment in Fang Yuan's heart.
"The three major factories were sold by Changsun Shangshu and Gao Shangshu, and if the three factories can be returned, I am willing to do my best to suppress the inflation problem."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Fang Yuan, we have invested a lot in the three major factories, and we will pay you back if we say we will return it to you?"
Gao Shilian was immediately dissatisfied.
In the past two months, in addition to the workers' monthly salaries, nearly one million has been invested, and hundreds of thousands of other factories have been invested.
Such a large investment has not been earned a penny, so it will be returned to Fang Yuan, where is there such a good thing in the world?
However, before Gao Shilian finished speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji's hand pulled him down.
"You can give it back, but you have to make sure to solve the problem!"
The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice.
The three major factories are losing money in their hands.
For a short period of time, they could not close the factory and had to pay the workers every month.
According to the current situation, it is uncertain how long it will be profitable in the future, and it will only be a drag oil bottle to keep.
Since this is the case, it is okay to give it back to Fang Yuan, and it can also leave a good impression in front of the emperor and affect the power of the crown prince's competition.
"Fang Yuan, the auxiliary machine has said so, what else do you have to say?"
Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with great satisfaction and said slowly.
It's still his old comrades-in-arms who know the righteousness, and Fang Yuan, this bastard, will only be angry with himself.
"The problems of the three major factories cannot be solved in a day or two, and the same is true for inflation."
"I need Changsun Shangshu or Gao Shangshu to give another three months' monthly salary to the three major factories."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
He naturally saw Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.
But so what, who says they have a way to solve the problem?
"Impossible!"
Fang Yuan didn't finish his words.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian spoke one after another.
The three major factories will pay nearly 500,000 yuan a month, and they will support it for another three months, and they have not returned it, don't they want their dogs to die?
"How much is the monthly salary of the three major factories?"
Li Shimin felt that his brain hurt and said in a deep voice.
If it's not high, the money here would rather come out of it yourself.
"Nearly half a million."
The eldest grandson Wuji said angrily.
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately dispelled the idea of paying for himself.
500,000, three months is 1.5 million, Datang's annual tax revenue is barely 20 million.
"If Changsun Shangshu and Gao Shangshu are unwilling to pay this money, I can't solve the problem of inflation."
"Your Majesty, I can't do everything, and I have to pay the money myself, but some people don't do anything, right?"
Fang Yuan said with a slight mockery.
Li Shimin felt a headache again.
Indeed, the problem would have been with the three of them.
Fang Yuan is now providing a way to solve it, but the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian are doing nothing, which is unreasonable.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian were unable to refute for a while when Fang Yuan said this, and they felt that they were about to fall into the pit set up by Fang Yuan.
"Your Majesty, there is a saying among the people: if you have the strength to contribute, you will not have the strength to contribute."
"Fang Shilang has the ability to solve the problem of inflation, and the money problems encountered in it naturally have to be borne by someone, which is fair."
Ma Zhou suddenly spoke.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian immediately looked at Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't see the eyes of the two eating people.
"I thought it should be!"
"Eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian, how do you two choose?"
"Do you choose to solve the problem of inflation, or do you choose to choose people who support solving it?"
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and had to agree with Fang Yuan's meaning.
It is indeed one person who contributes and one person who pays is called fairness, and only then can Fang Yuan's dissatisfaction be blocked.
"Minister, minister chooses to give money!"
The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian glanced at each other, and they both saw their dissatisfaction.
But what's the use of being dissatisfied, who told them that they can't solve the problems of the three major factories, nor can they solve the problem of inflation.
It's really sad, a secretary and a household secretary are all standing at the highest level of the empire, and there are countless capable people under them, but they can't solve the problem.
In fact, this is not to blame for the following problems, mainly because the things made by Fang Yuan are too novel, and people have not yet affected the impact of the economy, and they cannot solve the problem of too many paper money.
"Good!"
"Fang Yuan, do you have any way to talk about it."
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Fang Yuandao with his chin bowed.
"There are a lot of complex issues involved here, and I'll pick a little one that is easy to understand."
"It is still to use foreign trade to reduce the stock of China's paper money, expand trade, reduce domestic demand, and solve problems."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Now many Maisons are trading with foreign countries, and it is precisely because of their trade inflation that the problem has been solved."
"However, now that capable families are in foreign trade, it is almost impossible to expand foreign trade again!"
"Fang Yuan, this method of yours doesn't seem to be very good!"
The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice.
Foreign trade is also foreign trade.
Although foreign trade can suppress inflation, it can only be suppressed, and for a long time.
For example, the current trade from Chang'an City to Goguryeo and other countries takes three or four months to go back and forth, which is too long and too long.
Li Shimin also looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously, feeling that Fang Yuan's method was not very good.
"Land trade is not good, of course, but what about sea trade?"
"We in Datang have a land Silk Road, but we don't have a maritime Silk Road!"
Fang Yuan said with a smile.
He had long had ideas about the Maritime Silk Road.
Steel steamers were built for the Maritime Silk Road.
This was when Fang Yuan heard Wang Shiyu's words and had a flash of inspiration, so he began to build a steel ship.
"Maritime Silk Road?!"
"You built a steel steamer for the Maritime Silk Road?"
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of Fang Yuankai's shipyard.
"Not bad."
Fang Yuan smiled proudly.
"The Maritime Silk Road has been thought about for a long time, and some people have even tried it."
"But the sea operation is dangerous, there is no way to know the distance, and the time cost is still very huge!"
The eldest grandson Wuji put forward his own ideas.
The Land Silk Road brought countless benefits to the Tang Dynasty.
Although the foreign trade advocated now is not the Silk Road, it is essentially the same.
However, the time cost required is huge, and the risk is also huge, and it is estimated that the cost of foreign trade is much greater than the current foreign trade cost.
"That was without steel steamers."
"And Wang Shiyu of the Wang family once tried the Maritime Silk Road, although she failed, but she knew the route."
"As long as she is given a certain amount of support, I now have five steel cruise ships, which can temporarily suppress inflation."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
These days, Wang Shiyu is ready to move and wants to go to sea.
But Fang Yuan left behind, saying that he would build her two more ships and set off again.
Now the other two ships are about to test the waters and will soon be able to go to sea.
When the time comes, five ships will be dispatched and will be able to bring out a lot of cargo at one time.
You can also take a lot of banknotes out and try to open up overseas markets.
It also solves the problem of excessive domestic banknotes.
"Really?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
No one had ever succeeded in this method, and he was a little worried.
After all, it is related to the stability of the country, and I have to care about it.
"Nine times out of ten."
Fang Yuan did not have a packing ticket.
In his conception, no problem.
"Your Majesty, since Fang Shilang said it is feasible, let him try."
"But we have already appeared, if the plan can't be solved, the responsibility lies with Fang Shilang."
The eldest grandson Wuji said in a deep voice.
He felt that the problems of the Maritime Silk Road were many, big.
But since Fang Yuan wants to try, let him try, anyway, it has nothing to do with them.
If the problem of inflation occurs afterwards, as well as the problems of the three major factories, it is the problem of Fang Yuan.
"Fang Yuan, what do you think?"
Li Shimin was slightly dissatisfied.
Before the matter has even begun, the question of responsibility is set aside.
The satisfaction with the eldest grandson Wuji just now has disappeared again.
"The eldest grandson Shangshu is so afraid of responsibility, he deserves to be the secretary of the ministry."
"I have no problem, but in order to ensure that I will not be affected by money in the process of implementing the plan, I strongly ask Changsun Shangshu and Gao Shangshu to pay three months' monthly salary in advance!"
Fang Yuan smiled, and then said in a deep voice.
"Pay in advance?"
"It's going to be nearly 1.5 million in three months, Fang Shilang asked me to wait for anyone to get together so much money?"
Gao Shilian was unwilling.
Because he didn't know what would become of him halfway through.
In case Fang Yuan's Fang Yuan is easy to solve the problem, isn't his uncle and nephew at a loss?
"Gao Shangshu said this, do you believe it, Your Majesty?"
"The eldest grandson family and the Gao family have no money, who will believe it?"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, looked at Li Shimin and said.
Gao Shilian's face suddenly froze, and he looked at Fang Yuan angrily.
The Gao family and the eldest grandson family have wasted time these times, and they have no money.
"I think that if the eldest grandson Shangshu wants to divide the responsibility, then it will be according to what Fang Shilang said."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He didn't think that the eldest grandson family and the Gao family would run out of money.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give money in advance, give us ten days."
The eldest grandson Wuji said expressionlessly.
Although 1.5 million is a lot, he would rather give money than responsibility.
In the future, once Fang Yuan did something bad, he would definitely not let Fang Yuan go.
Gao Shilian snorted coldly, but agreed with his nephew's intention and agreed to give the money in advance.
"So, no comment, right?"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan with a calm face.
They are all important ministers of the court, but they are like businessmen, and they are ashamed.
