Li Xu now doesn't sleep for about four hours a day, doesn't mention handling government affairs during the day, and practices martial arts at night, and every day is harder than when he took the college entrance examination.

"Your Majesty, you should drink less. Chen Chaoen held a large stack of pieces and gently placed them on the table.

Although the entrance of rice wine is mellow, it has a lot of stamina, and Li Xu still has some alcohol on his face at this time, but he still has to continue his work.

Really give himself homework li xu frowned and looked at the pile of thick things in front of the table, several of which were packed in secret boxes with seals on them, which were all sent back by the officials he had given the right to perform.

"Ah, Yuanzhen. Li Xu stretched out his hand and rummaged through the folds, and finally found the secret box that belonged to Yuan Zhen.

The seal is intact, the seal is still the same as it was then, and the sealing mud has no traces of being damaged at all, Li Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then opened the secret box.

This kind of monopoly power is generally sent to Beijing through the post house system, purely to prevent the gentleman and not the villain, the biggest advantage is that the process of going up will not be glanced at by those bureaucrats in Zhongshu Province, only the emperor can see it for the first time.

Bai Lotian and Yuan Zhen were not in Beijing at this time.

Tian Hong is just like the tide is coming, Bai Letian has already gone to Weibo Town as his envoy to see what Tian Hongzheng wants, and he and Tian Hongzheng have come to Beijing together.

“...... The minister crossed the river from Yangzhou, Huainan Jiedu made Cai Gong send to Jingkou, the river is about ten miles wide, and the real heaven is also moat. Yesterday in Runzhou, the observation of western Zhejiang made Lu Gong greet him, and asked in detail about the changes in Beijing and the Manichaean turmoil, and the minister answered according to the truth. Today go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy silk silk, the land of western Zhejiang, every family plants mulberry hemp, the price of silk is lower than Guanzhong, Henan, this year is ripe, rice stone but 30 Wen, the minister went to Zhejiang when the stone city, the tiger is in the dragon plate, it is really the king's anger. I hope Your Majesty will think twice about moving the capital......"

Li Xu closed the recital of Yuan Zhen.

I sent Yuan Zhen to western Zhejiang just to get some money.

This year's Cao Yun is about to begin, and the task that Li Xu gave to Yuan Zhi is to buy a large amount of silk in western Zhejiang and then transport it back to Guanzhong.

At the current price of silk in Guanzhong, when Yuan Zhen transports this batch of silk from western Zhejiang to Baiyujing, the profit will be increased by a hundred times.

Part of the profits from this money will be allocated to buy grain, and Li Xu has ordered Niu Monks and children to build a new batch of warehouses in the west of Baiyu Jingxi to store these grains.

In addition to formulating the monopoly policy of salt and iron, the Sang Hong sheep of the Han Dynasty also created two systems: "leveling" and "equalization", of which "leveling" refers to the government's active participation in economic life, purchasing when the price of goods is low, and then selling when the price of goods is high to make profits.

With the spread of this system, it eventually became a means of regulating the goal of grain, especially in good years, and then selling grain in good years, so that profits could be used to support the various expenses of the imperial court, and also to ensure the stability of the people.

However, this policy was eventually shelved, and the so-called political correctness of "not competing with the people" eventually withdrew from the market.

However, with the reign of Han Gang, after three dynasties, the current Dayu court gradually restored the equalization method with the goal of stabilizing grain prices and obtaining profits.

It is obviously not enough to rely on the regulation of the imperial court, and the inefficiency and corruption of the bureaucracy will inevitably affect the final effect, but it is better for this system to exist than not to exist.

What's more, the emperor also wanted to earn this money, and Li Xu's idea was to let Yuan Zhi set up warehouses in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou for himself, and regularly purchase a batch of silk to be shipped to Baiyujing.

Although the world is big, but now the emperor can only influence the corner of Bai Yujing, although there is only this inch of land, you can do your best to manage it and achieve the emperor's foundation.

After turning over Yuan Zhen's recital, Li Xu took a breath, of course, the warehouse he envisioned was not a commercial institution that simply operated. His request to Yuan Zhi was to hope that Yuan Zhi would start from scratch, find some local talents with business talents, make registers respectively, give waist cards, and initially set up the shelf of the institution.

Yuan Zhi had successfully established preliminary institutions in Luoyang and Yangzhou before, and the local Jiedu envoy also set aside a piece of real estate for the emperor's warehouse in order to flatter himself, and Yuan Zhi used his power to directly swallow several local merchants in Luoyang and directly changed their identities.

Since he has imperial power, it is really understandable to use imperial power to seek some benefits, and the key is where to use the obtained benefits.

"Yuan Zhen is doing okay. Li Xu put aside Yuan Zhen's recital.

"Then Mr. Luo Yan has no news?"

Since the last Manichaean rebellion, Na Luo Yan has been a little distracted, and mentioned to Li Xu the Tai Gong Chong he met that day, according to him, he could not sense any fluctuations in Tai Gong Chong, which made Na Luo Yan a little confused, because according to his theory, everything must fall on the fluctuations.

"Still no news. Chen Chaoen bowed his head and said.

Yu Fuguo has a set of people who collect rumors in the rivers and lakes, Chen Chaoen has always had some resources in this area, and Li Xu is also happy to borrow this system of Yu Fuguo to explore some news that has no interest.

"Where's Du stopping the cup? Has he been tossing around for anything lately? Li Xu finished another recital, which was on the part of Bibu Lang.

In this recital, Han Gang's eldest son reported on the current situation of the imperial court's financial constraints, and the top priority was the national debt crisis.

Dayu's finances can basically be said to serve the military.

Originally, when the government military system was implemented, the Yu Dynasty's taxation was called rent and mediocrity, and it was a complex tax system in kind based on the state-owned land, but with the disintegration of the government and military system, the imperial court changed to rely on the "Long March athletes" who relied on military salaries as the main force.

After the Kwantung Rebellion, the demands of the civil war led to a sharp expansion in the size of the army, and the original system of rent adjustment brought the imperial court to the brink of bankruptcy. In order to solve the dilemma, the imperial court changed the rent adjustment system to use the two-tax law.

However, the two tax laws did not enable the imperial court to really get out of the financial predicament, so the imperial court had to use alternative methods.

That is, borrowing money from wealthy families in Chang'an, agreeing on interest, and then returning it according to the deadline. It's almost winter now, but the court probably won't be able to come up with the money to return it to the rich families.

"Prime Minister Hefei is thin in the world, and Sinong Changshu is deserted all over the world. Li Xu muttered in his heart to put the chapter aside, whether Yin eats grain or has no money to pay off the bill, these are not a thing.

With Han Xiang here, these can always be framed in the past, and this letter is just a show of merit for his Lao Tzu.

Pei Du is coming, and Han Dagongzi is reminding the government and the opposition how indispensable his Lao Tzu is.

"There is no news of Lianyunzhai on the rivers and lakes, but it is said that the master of Du Da will appear in Jianlu in another month. ”

Jianlu, Li Xu frowned, this place was created by the Qinglian Sword Immortal back then.

Qinglian Sword Immortal was born in Broken Leaf City, and his poems are brilliant and unbeatable in the world. Its sword seems to be immortal, invincible. After becoming famous, there is no match, and he is the world's number one master who deserves his name.

Under the three-foot sword, everyone has to retreat. He felt that all factions in the world cherished their brooms, and had the view of the portal, so that the way of martial arts was plain and limited, and a seven-story building was built near the quarry rock, which was called "Sword House". Record what he has learned in his life on paper and hide it all in the sword house.

Then ordered friends and people to guard on their behalf, all the Central Plains martial arts people, regardless of their origins, good and evil, as long as they hold a three-foot sword, they can compile the swordsmanship in the sword house.

After the Qinglian Sword Immortal, there were many masters of the rivers and lakes who inherited his legacy, and hid their lifelong learning and martial arts insights in the sword house.

Now Jianlu has become the holy land of martial arts in the Central Plains, and it is also the foundation of the inheritance of swordsmanship in the world.

If Du Zhibei wants to go to such a place, it will naturally cause an uproar in the rivers and lakes.

"What is he doing in the Sword Mansion, is he practicing swords?" Li Xu opened another notebook, this time he frowned.

"I heard that it was Liu Ziyue of the Southern Heavenly Confucian Sect who invited him to the Sword Mansion to discuss the Tao, and after the Chengtian Sword Sect slashed Balu Tosa, the top masters in the rivers and lakes were a little moved. ”

It's all about the immortals, Li Xu put the piece aside in annoyance, and a doctor named Han Qianzhi scolded him bitterly.

"You go to the Sword House in person and give my handwritten book to Du Zhubei. Li Xu passed a letter to Chen Chaoen, completely ignoring the confused expression on Lao Chen's face.

"What is Your Majesty looking for him, this kind of Jianghu people ......"

"You have a good rest, tomorrow I will summon Yue Guhan. Li Xu sighed: "Chengtian Sword Sect, hehe, Chengtian." ”

"It's just that the people of the rivers and lakes are begging for lip service, and their nicknames are strange......" Chen Chaoen muttered a few words, and the great eunuch wondered if Huang Shiliang had given him eye medicine in front of His Majesty.

Li Xu ignored him, and continued to appreciate how Han Qianzhi scolded himself, not to mention, this Dr. Han is really a good writer.
