"Where did you get the money to build the Great Wall?" Yaoxing asked.

"Cement and red bricks need raw materials, and palace people need wages. To recruit a large number of people, it is necessary to stagger the cultivation period, so that the land will not be barren, and they must be paid for their work, and the people need to make ends meet. In addition, there is their food and housing, which is all money, where does it come from? Yaoxing listed every step to burn money and asked him to get a charter.

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unnatural.

Yao Xing suddenly made a guess and asked, "You don't plan to empty the white wolf, do you?" ”

Zhao Zheng can do this kind of thing, Yao Xing absolutely believes it.

Sure enough, Zhao Zheng took a sip of tea, dodged Yao Xing's eyes, and said: "Cement and red bricks are originally bought and sold by the imperial court, the raw materials are paid on credit first, and the wages of the workers are also paid on credit first, and when the cement and red bricks are not in urgent need, they will be given to them when they are profitable." Migrant workers who built the Great Wall...... Exempt them from the tax on their land, and pay for their wages! ”

"Eat and stay...... Let the Mo family come out, anyway, the Mo family has to be responsible for supervising the construction! ”

Good guy, Zhao Zheng is even more scoundrel than Yao Xing thought. In the past, I had only heard of courtiers and officials from all over the country borrowing money from the treasury and not paying it back, but now it is the first time I have seen a court that owes workers wages not because of the officials, but because the emperor really owes the debt!

The Mo family is really unlucky, and there is such an emperor on the stall, not to mention that there is no salary for other people's work, and they also make people pay upside down.

Yao Xing blinked his eyes: "You are really not ashamed!" ”

Zhao Zheng also blinked his eyes, and suddenly got up and flicked his long sleeves: "What's there to be ashamed of, when I lay a bigger territory, I will give them more land, and this payment is reasonable!" ”

Yaoxing sighed, got up and went back to the dormitory, fumbled at the foot of the bed for a while, and turned on the mechanism after finding the button.

This bed came from Su Han's hand, and made a very hidden mechanism for Yao Xing, Zhao Zheng always knew about the existence of the mechanism, but he didn't know what Yao Xing was hiding.

Now it really reached the point of exhaustion, and Yaoxing had to ask for private money.

"Here are some of the things I saved before we got married, and some of them are put in my master's." Yaoxing looked at his small vault reluctantly

Zhao Zheng was stunned, he had known that there was so much money under the bed he slept in every day, and he still needed to put the plan on hold because of the money?

"This is all my dowry, if you use it, you have to pay it back twice!" Yao Xing looked at Zhao Zheng angrily

Zhao Zheng nodded, suddenly stunned for a moment, and asked, "Isn't your dowry in the treasury?" ”

Yao Xing didn't think much about it, so he explained: "The treasury is full of registered ornaments, and there is not a lot of gold, let alone money." ”

Zhao Zheng nodded, thoughtful. There are also some ornaments in the treasury, all of which are left by the previous kings, and can only be used to reward people, and if they are sold, they are sorry for their ancestors, so there is no money to spend now.

However, Yaoxing's dowry gave Zhao Zheng inspiration, those ornaments are all priceless, it is a pity, and they can't be realized, which is really useless for the current Daqin. But it would be nice if they were exchanged for money.

Just like Yaoxing, the dowry is given out as an ornament, and when the dowry is brought over, it will be exchanged for silver, isn't it!

As for spending women's dowry money, to be honest, Zhao Zheng doesn't care at all, and he won't let others know, even if it is passed out, it should be the honor of those women, and their dowry is due to Daqin.
