"Liang Xiang, what if the tax is collected and the people take refuge in Liangshan, so that Liangshan's strength increases greatly?"

Li Gang looked at Liang Shicheng and asked.

"Take refuge in Liangshan? That is treason, and the crime is not punishable! ”

Liang Shicheng looked at Li Gang coldly, he didn't care so much, he just needed to raise money and food for the emperor.

"Hou Shangshu, if there is no tax, when will the money and grain be raised?"

Liang Shicheng looked at Hou Meng of the Household Department again.

"This ...... At least until after the beginning of summer, the money and grain will be shipped to Tokyo! ”

Hou Meng opened his mouth and said, there are many taxes in the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the traditional agricultural tax, there are also salt, wine, tea, incense, cloth, silk, mulberry, hemp and other taxes, the expedition to Liangshan soldiers and horses will definitely not be less, and the money and grain required are even more astronomical.

"Summer? Three months to go! Do you think you can wait three months? ”

Liang Shicheng looked at Li Gang and asked.

"Your Majesty, if Gen Yue's expenses can be reduced, it should be faster!"

Hou Meng suddenly looked at Zhao Ji and said, although Gen Yue has been completed, but Zhao Ji is a person who likes the new and hates the old, those flowers and strange stones are tired of looking at them for a long time, and they want to replace them with new ones, which causes Gen Yue to be like a bottomless pit, which has been devouring the money and grain of the treasury.

"No, my Genyue's budget must not be reduced!"

Zhao Ji immediately glared at Hou Meng, now it has become his habit to go to Genyue to play, and once the budget is reduced, then Genyue will not be wasted.

Liang Shicheng heard Zhao Ji's firm words, and his heart was overjoyed, the emperor likes money, then everything will be easy.

Hou Meng reluctantly retreated, he was promoted to the top of the ten things, these ten things are, to redundant officials, to admit ministers, Ming Yanshu, don't be virtuous, never lucky, abstain from abuse, forgive the tired people, save vain expenses, Qi Li has no foresight, and the eunuch temple does not have the right to fake it.

But after so many years, the emperor has long forgotten all these ten things, and he really hasn't done any of them.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, he can not levy taxes, but also fill the treasury!"

Cai Jing, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"What's the solution?"

Zhao Ji immediately looked at Cai Jing, no matter what, Liangshan had to levy, and the levy needed money and food.

"Your Majesty, you can cast a hundred coins to fill the treasury!"

Cai Jing said slowly.

"Cai Jing, are you crazy!"

When the words of 100 coins came out, there was immediately opposition in the court, when Cai Jing proposed to mint 10 coins, it led to soaring prices on the market, and the wealth of the people was instantly diluted, almost making a big mess, and now it is even necessary to mint 100 coins, which is really disgusting in the world.

When the official arrives at the Daqing Palace, the value is very expensive, they know very well how crazy it will be when a hundred coins come out of the world, minting a coin, the profit will directly increase a hundred times, private money will appear in large quantities, and prices will skyrocket dozens of times, at that time the world is everywhere Liangshan.

"When a hundred dollars?"

Zhao Ji didn't react for a while, he didn't expect Cai Jing to be a hundred coins as soon as he opened his mouth, what kind of concept is this, ten coins is consistent money, that is, one or two silver.

"Taxes cannot be levied, and money cannot be minted. Guys, do you really want to sit back and watch Liangshan stand firm? ”

"When 100 coins are just an expedient measure, when Liangshan is destroyed, the imperial court will recover this batch of money!"

Cai Jing looked at everyone and said.

"Cai Jing, it was your ten dollars back then, which caused the price of rice in Tokyo to triple, the price of cloth to triple, and the price of salt to quadruple! It was His Majesty's decree that the ten dollars would be reduced to three dollars, which stabilized the world. “

"Now you are casting 100 coins, the price of rice in Tokyo has increased by 30 times, the price of cloth has increased by 20 times, and the price of salt has increased by 40 times! Do you think there were still people in Tokyo at that time? ”

Someone pointed at Cai Jing and angrily reprimanded that after Cai Jing took office, he vigorously promoted ten coins, which directly led to soaring prices and almost caused chaos, and Cai Jing was also degraded.

No one believes Cai Jing's words, what kind of expedient measure, when a hundred dollars come out, where can it be controlled, and the court will recycle it? I don't know how many people have minted privately, how to collect them?

"Then be an old man and a fool, everyone wants to make a good move!"

Cai Jing didn't insist, and retreated to the civil official team with a fist, but he glanced at Zhao Ji on the dragon chair out of the corner of his eye, he just lit a fire, it depends on what Zhao Ji thinks, if Zhao Ji agrees, then it is useless for anyone to object.

When the matter of 100 coins passed, the court was quiet again.

No one spoke, Zhao Ji's face was gloomy again, it was close to noon at this time, he called thousands of officials in Tokyo, and no one came up with a charter in the morning, which made him a little annoyed.

"Your Majesty, Hanlin Chengzhi Wu Kai, Prince Zhan Shi Geng Nanzhong, Zhongshu Sheren Mo Yan, Taixue Xuezheng Qin Hui, and Zhongxun Lang Wang Jiu ask to see!"

A eunuch reports to the emperor.

Zhang Bangchang's face was slightly happy when he heard the eunuch's report, and his people finally came in.

"Xuan!"

Zhao Ji waved his hand.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Wu Kai, Geng Nanzhong, Mo Li, Qin Hui, Wang Hao and others immediately saluted Zhao Ji.

"What's your plan?"

Where does Zhao Ji care about etiquette, he asked with a wave of his hand.

"Your Majesty, after the ministers and others discussed, they felt that sending troops to conquer at this time was not the best policy, the thieves were ferocious, it was best to fight, and fighting with them would only damage my Great Song Tianwei."

"According to the opinion of the ministers and others, it is better to negotiate peace with the Liangshan thieves and paralyze the thieves! After all, those in Liangshan are all bandits, they can deceive the people for a while, deceive the people with small profits and false promises, but they can't last after all, and after a long time, the people will naturally know where the blue sky is! ”

Wu Kai said to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji's brows were about to twist into twists, and the suggestions of Wu Kai and others really made it difficult for him to evaluate them.

"Do you think it's possible?"

Zhao Ji looked at the rest of the people and asked.

"Your Majesty, this plan is a bit different!"

Someone opened his mouth to speak, and there was no positive evaluation.

Li Gang looked at Wu Kai and the others and frowned, these people have really been officials in Tokyo for a long time, and their heads are stupid, and they are dragging time with Liang Shan? Is this because Liangshan is not stable enough?

"What I want is to quickly exterminate Sun Lei, you have other ways!"

Zhao Ji looked at Wu Kai and asked a few people.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan!"

Li Gang really couldn't stand it, he was messing around like this, and he couldn't discuss a charter until dark.

"Say!"

Zhao Ji saw Li Gang open his mouth and asked.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Liangshan is so powerful and the people are vying to take refuge is nothing more than the persecution of excessive taxes and corrupt officials. As long as His Majesty purgies the rule of officials, pays taxes lightly, cleans up redundant personnel, and reduces court expenses. And if you make an edict for yourself, you will be able to appease the people of the world and win the hearts of the people. ”

"Your Majesty is issuing an edict to recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world to enter the king of Beijing, crusade against non-ministers, and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, and will definitely be able to recruit strong people to serve the country."

Li Gang saluted Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time, Li Gang's charter seems simple, but it is extremely troublesome to do.

"Li Gang, if you don't have money and food, you still recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world to come to King Qin? Do you have the money to feed them? ”

Liang Shicheng immediately looked at Li Gangdao.
