The shore of the land is not the king's land; The minister who leads the land is not the king's minister.

The whole world belongs to the Son of Heaven, so the Son of Heaven is naturally the richest person.

This is also the reason why Liu He is not in a hurry to make money.

As the Son of Heaven, Liu He has a large amount of money, so big that it is unimaginable for anyone.

……

All the taxes of the Han Empire were managed by three government offices, one was called Shaofu, the second was Dasi Nong, and the third was Shui Heng Duwei.

The money in the hands of Shaofu belongs to the private use of the Son of Heaven, the money in the hands of Dasi Nong is the public expense of the state, and the Captain of Shui Heng is in charge of coinage.

The three come from different sources and have different uses, so they must be strictly separated and never mixed up.

The income of the Dasi Nong includes all kinds of taxes in addition to various calculations, the income from the monopoly of salt and iron, the profit from the equalization of losses, the output of the land of the imperial court, and the income from the sale of titles by the imperial court.

The bulk of the expenditure was the expenses of Chang'an officials, the cost of large-scale construction, the cost of raising soldiers, the expenditure of national festivals and ceremonies, and so on.

The income of the Shaofu included taxes on merchants, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, 20 yuan per year paid by the common people between the ages of 3 and 14, the output of the royal land, and the annual contribution of the princes and kings.

The main expenses are the expenses of the utensils needed for the operation of the imperial court, the expenses of the queen of heaven, the concubines, the palace and the attendants, the expenses of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the expenses of the emperor to reward the important ministers.

As for Shui Heng Duwei, it was the government of the Han Empire responsible for making the five-baht coin, and the five-baht coin was also at the disposal of the Shaofu.

Roughly calculated, in the annual income of the Han Empire, Dasi Nong accounted for 60%, Shaofu accounted for 20%, and Shui Heng Duwei accounted for 20%.

The money, grain, cloth and silk received by the three government offices every year are converted, and the income of the big Si Nong is about 3 billion yuan, the income of the Shaofu is about 1 billion yuan, and the new copper coins made by the Shui Heng Duwei will not be fully put into use, but there are about 1 billion yuan.

In a normal year, more than half of this income is spent, and the remaining half is saved for a rainy day.

After Emperor Xiaozhao ascended the throne, no matter what year it was, the surplus money of Dasi Nong was always maintained at about 4 billion yuan, and the surplus money of Shaofu was about 2 billion yuan.

The price of a corn is only about 100 yuan, the price of a horse is only 500 yuan, and the price of a cow is only 3,000 yuan......

Shaofu's two billion dollars are an astronomical amount!

And this number is growing every year.

Even in an eventful autumn like this year, with the Son of Heaven ascending the throne and the new monarch ascending the throne, the expenses of Dasi Nong and Shaofu are very large, the amount of surplus money is still not greatly affected.

The eight million money on Changyi's account is simply a drop in the bucket.

With so much money, it's no problem at all to fight a big battle.

……

Some of these trivial numbers were written down by Liu He when he was reading books before, and the other part was learned by him from Shaofu Lecheng recently.

Liu He, the "puppet son of heaven", wants to have no soldiers and no people, but he wants money and money.

When he was the king of Changyi, Liu He tossed the entire Changyi country to the bottom for the sake of Tian Bu for the eight million money that those corrupt officials and corrupt officials were greedy for, and he always thought about how to make money.

However, a few days ago, when Liu He learned about the entire family background of Shaofu from Le Cheng's mouth, he found that his pattern had not been opened.

The annual income of billions of dollars, as long as it is not used to repair palaces and cities, it is impossible to use it up.

There is simply no need to risk such a toss.

Liu He didn't want to make money by selling farm tools, let alone making vinegar by making wine.

On the contrary, Liu He has to learn to spend money.

Spend money to let the people use free farm tools, and spend money to let the people earn more money.

If the Han Empire is a business, then Liu He is the wealthy owner of this business.

The biggest rich man, why should he go to the shop to compete with the servants for a small profit?

As for those rich landlords who make a lot of money, Liu He naturally has a way to restrict them and clean them up.

Standing and earning money, this is what the emperor of the Han Dynasty wants to do.

What's more, taking it from the people and using it for the people, the money was originally meant to be used back to the people.

This is Liu He's confidence to dare to shout "more reward".

……

As soon as the Son of Heaven finished saying that he was going to make a big reward, the eyes of the princes in the court came over.

In the previous great court meeting, the princes understood that the Son of Heaven was a generous man and would never be soft on the matter of reward.

"I have decided that each soldier will be rewarded with two horses, and the commander, the chief, and even the captain will be doubled for each promotion."

One horse was worth about five hundred yuan, and two horses for each of the 150,000 soldiers were one thousand yuan, for a total of fifteen million yuan.

In addition to the rewards given to officers at all levels, it must be at least doubled.

In this way, with a wave of the Son of Heaven's big hand, he rewarded 30 million yuan.

Although this is only a drop in the bucket of Shaofu's money, it is still an astronomical amount for the rolling princes present.

Two pieces of cloth per person, plus five hundred dollars, was already a generous reward for the soldiers on the front line.

The reward without a fight is like this, and the Han has never had it.

So, in the propaganda room, some people were unwilling.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the reward for this trip is inevitably too heavy, there is a saying in "Zuo Chuan", Xiaohui is not all over the ......" Yang Chang stood up tremblingly, shook his head and said.

"Zuo Biography", Liu He has read it, and he is familiar with it.

These sentences quoted by Yang Chang are from the "Cao Di Polemic" in "Zuo Biography", which is nothing more than to say that the Son of Heaven rewards generously in terms of wealth, and is easy to be criticized by the world for buying people's hearts with small favors and small favors, which is a short-sighted behavior.

Liu He smiled secretly, I want to debate with me, you are also worthy?!

A few days ago, I made a big reward in the court, didn't you Yang Chang also smile happily?

Why can the ministers in the court get it, but the bloody soldiers on the front line can't get it?

It's just that many of the three princes and nine secretaries don't regard soldiers as people like themselves.

Yang Chang quoted the scriptures and talked endlessly, and some officials also nodded frequently, and the voices of the heads and ears became louder and louder.

Liu He first glanced at Huo Guang cautiously, and then at Zhao Chongguo, both of whom were a little dissatisfied with Yang Chang's untimely remarks.

At this moment, Liu He understood in his heart that he was standing with Huo Guang and other doers.

In this case, you can borrow flowers to offer Buddha.

"Ahem! The prime minister spoke too quickly, and I didn't hear it really enough. Liu He plucked out his ears and said, it seemed that he really didn't hear clearly.

"Ah, ah, this ......" Yang Chang said dryly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"Just now, the prime minister said that these rewards from me are small favors and small favors, which will make the unwon people dissatisfied, so it should not be too heavy?"

"The old minister does have this intention."

"A few days ago, I gave you a reward of 500 gold, 3,000 horses, and 2,000 households, why didn't the prime minister say that this was a small favor at that time?"

"Does the prime minister think that my reward is a small favor, or does he think that the bloody soldiers should not be rewarded?"

When Liu He said this, he always had an innocent smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a trace of innocence that did not understand the world.

He didn't seem to be questioning, but more like asking.

Yang Chang, who was already in his sixtieth year, didn't expect the Son of Heaven to ask such a question, his mouth was half open, stunned in place, and he didn't know how to deal with it?

He seemed to have forgotten to breathe, and his face became redder and redder.

"This, this...... That, that ......" Yang Chang hesitated, and did not say why.

Gods may do what cattle may not.

Liu Heke did not forget that the famous "Abolishing the King of Changyi" in history came from the hand of Yang Chang.

On weekdays, the head of the hundred officials should take on the role of setting an example for the hundred officials, but he is submissive and does not dare to fight against Huo Guang, how can he convince the hundred officials.

Liu He admired Taishi Gong, but he didn't look down on his virtuous son-in-law at all. Then don't blame yourself for taking this opportunity to knock you on and establish your own prestige.

"If the prime minister hasn't figured it out yet, then sit back and think about it first."

People who don't usually get angry occasionally show their anger, which is the most terrifying, not to mention the anger of the Son of Heaven.

Yang Chang was forced to ask and had nothing to say, so he sat back dejectedly.

Liu He looked at the ministers again, waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, the soldiers are bleeding on the front line, I can't follow them personally, money and things, naturally can't be harsh, even if it is a small favor, it is also from my sincerity, if there is any criticism, I am willing to bear it alone!" ”

"Under the edict, who is different from the princes?"

The princes had already seen Yang Chang's embarrassment, and no one was willing to follow in his footsteps, so naturally no one stood up to oppose it anymore.

Liu He saw that Huo Guang's expression was as usual, Zhao Chongguo was happy, and even Fan Mingyou's expression softened a little.

It's getting more and more interesting.

Today's four changes are 10,000 words, two changes at half past six, and two changes at half past nine.
