Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 130 Super Money Tree

Under the fire of the civil and military eyes of the Manchu Dynasty, Liu Bei did not panic.

"Before answering this question, can the Zuo Shaofu tell us why the Western Region Changshi's Mansion fell?"

Zuo Feng was taken aback, and after a moment of deliberation, he chose the safest answer.

"The Western Regions are remote, making ends meet, and the imperial court failed to take care of it for a while."

"learn!"

Liu Bei nodded, and continued: "It is an indisputable fact that recovering the Western Regions and collecting taxes are beneficial to the country. Therefore, the imperial court pays interest to raise funds from the people, which is called benefit sharing."

"When a bond becomes a valuable thing, it has the attributes of a transaction. The buyer or holder, whether sold, transferred or even inherited, should be respected. But"

Everyone was taken aback, what they said was good, why did there come a turning point?
Liu Bei didn't care, and just poured beans out of the bamboo tube: "However, who can guarantee smooth sailing when conquering the Western Regions? In three years, who can be sure that nothing will happen to them? Therefore, free trade can prevent buyers from unnecessary losses and make them more worthwhile. trust."

What Zhi Jinwu said seemed to make sense, and everyone silently considered the pros and cons of it.

Liu Bei turned his head and said: "I have a small proposal, which can avoid wasting public funds and make up for the manpower and material resources consumed by running the bank."

Empress Dowager He immediately became interested, sat up a little and asked, "Liu Qing, please speak."

"For each transaction, the trading venue can charge the seller a certain fee, for example, two or three thousandths of the total transaction amount, which needs to be accurately calculated."

The Empress Dowager suddenly realized that now the banks in both capitals don't have to spend money in vain, and they can still collect money, which is very good.

But she felt that Liu Bei's two or three thousandths was too little compared to the [-]th tax for farmers and the [-]th tax for merchants.

"Liu Qing's words are correct, but two or three out of a thousand are too few."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, I have learned a lesson. Once the trade is free, the price may rise or fall, and there must be many buyers and sellers. It is possible to trade millions in a day."

Empress Dowager He calculated very quickly, which means that she can receive 2000 taels of silver every day, which is equal to 200 million yuan.

Wow, this is much faster than the dead ghost's husband selling his official title, and it doesn't need to risk his own reputation.

After hearing this, Lu Zhi frowned. Confucianism has always despised the words of evildoers who compete for the interests of the people.

"How is this different from plundering people's money? Inappropriate! Inappropriate!"

Empress Dowager He was very embarrassed by the grand master's words, and looked at the emperor's uncle decisively.

Everyone has been filled with Liu Bei's various god theories, and they can't tell whether Lu Zhi's objection is true or false.

Liu Bei bowed his hands to his teacher, and then asked: "Master, in normal farm and house sales transactions, do you have to pay taxes?"

Lu Zhi was stunned, because the answer was yes.

Everyone also understood Liu Bei's subtext.

Bonds are the manifestation of margin, and margin is grain and goods for farms and houses. Bond transactions are tax-paying, which is reasonable, reasonable and legal.

What's more, it's too conscientious to only charge two or three thousandths!
Empress Dowager He nodded frequently, her face full of joy.

Sure enough, he is the loyal minister that I am optimistic about, not bad, not bad!
Grand Tutor Yuan Ji came out suddenly and asked: "Dare to ask Zhi Jinwu, is it true that this bond is worth a million taels in one day?"

Don't make a lot of hype just to make the Queen Mother happy.

"Ten million is not unusual, what is a million?"

Everyone stared at their pockets in shock, and even the Queen Mother couldn't help being suspicious.

Yuan Ji laughed harmlessly to humans and animals, but his tone was full of sarcasm: "Oh, it is rumored that Zhijinwu rides a black tiger, so it could be true?"

"If Youyong's army patrolled the grasslands, the royal navy went on an expedition to the South Seas, the development of mines and islands in foreign lands, and even private merchants raised funds to operate, they could all issue bonds. What do you think?"

Yuan Ji was shocked.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there was complete silence.

Liu Bian didn't understand, why did the cheap emperor's casual words scare the faces of all the heroes in the world?
Empress Dowager He asked hesitantly, "Uncle Emperor, is this possible?"

Liu Bei turned to Empress Dowager He with a smile, and asked back: "The Empress Dowager is wise! I can't find a reason why it is not feasible."

The Queen Mother was in deep thought.

Liu Bei said loudly again: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty. When I was young, my family was poor, and I could only weave mats and sell shoes to make ends meet. I often thought that if I saved more money, I could trade cattle and horses and make more profits. Unfortunately, I couldn't do so. If there were bonds In the trading place, the minister will be able to live comfortably."

The queen mother admired the emperor's uncle who revealed his shortcomings even more, and felt that it was not easy for him to go all the way.

Immediately smiled and said: "In this way, if you become a horse merchant as the emperor's uncle wished, wouldn't the imperial court lose a loyal minister?"

It's rare for the queen mother to tease her, so she must join her.

Hahaha!
Looking around, His Highness, His Highness, had a bright smile on his face.

Originally, it was to solve the problem of recovering the Western Regions, but Shun Teng found out a bunch of melons.

Once the bond issuance is liberalized, it is by no means empty words that the trading venues will make a lot of money every day. Therefore, Empress Dowager He has already made a choice.

Of course, the prerequisite for making a fortune in the future is to do a good job in the present.

Empress Dowager He didn't hesitate anymore, and said on the spot: "Let Liu Qing draw up the regulations on the issuance of bonds in the Western Regions and related matters."

"Sir, take the lead!"

Liu Bei did his part and took over the task.

Third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies make services, and first-rate companies make standards.

Liu Bei worked hard and finally got the power to formulate financial standards.

Hey, come on, I can't kill you guys!

In order to prepare for the bond exchange, Uncle Liu asked the Queen Mother for permission to work at home with a clear face, and came up with a draft after ten days.

At the same time, he unceremoniously asked Shaofu, Tingwei, and Sinong to send personnel to participate. After all, it is enough to take care of Jinwu.

Upon hearing that he had the opportunity to participate in the planning of the "Super Cash Cow Tree", Sanqing immediately stated: Tomorrow, I will send Yacheng to report to Zhijinwu's mansion.

In the eyes of Empress Dowager He, it turned out to be a proof that the emperor's uncle is frank and selfless, and dedicated to the public.

Anyway, women, as long as you have the right eyes, farting is delicious.

During the next court, the concubine's foster father came over.

"My son-in-law, have you heard?"

"No"

Liu Bei, who thought the other party was familiar with him, just opened his mouth and changed his tone: "What did Tai Shan hear?"

Wang Yun looked like a thief, and said in a low voice: "In the palace, there are."

Liu Bei's thoughts raced, and he immediately understood: Emperor Guangxi Liu Bian's quasi-empress, Tang Ji is pregnant.

It seems to be only 15 years old, what a crime!
This means that the queen will be conferred soon, and the crown prince will be born next year. The empress dowager in Yongle Palace is probably going crazy.

However, these days, the dystocia rate of young pregnant women is surprisingly high, and a happy event can turn into a funeral.

No, there can still be troubles right now, so we have to prepare in advance.

After clarifying his thoughts, Liu Bei probably guessed the reason why the father-in-law was so courteous.

"Thank you Taishan for reminding me!"

Sure enough, Wang Yun also mentioned that his former colleagues wanted to be transferred to the Eastern Capital and needed the support of the grand master.

The Yuan family is still too powerful, it's a good thing for the old man to form a small circle, I didn't say it.

"Well, when I visit the Grand Master in a few days, my son-in-law will do his best."

Wang Yun narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Mother Chan'er has been talking about you all the time, my son-in-law is free, so move around more."

When Yuan Ji returned to the mansion, he subconsciously felt that Liu Bei was doing nothing, and the bond exchange must have a major conspiracy.

After thinking about it, he called the housekeeper Yuan Santing.

"Take my name card and invite Xun Si Nong to visit the mansion."

Taking advantage of the gap, Yuan Ji wrote another letter to Yuan Shu.

During the expedition of the Royal Navy, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and at the same time, supervise the arrogant soldiers of the Navy.

After finishing one letter, the second letter was sent to Liu Yu, Shepherd of Youzhou.

General Guan Yu of Yongzhou will attack Xianbei in the north, and his camp in Youzhou must be empty. He can take the opportunity to find some trouble in the mine and ranch to contain him.

At the same time, I heard that Gongsundu in Liaodong was at odds with Qiu Liju, the running dog of Jinwu, and could encourage the Gongsun family to get involved in the Sanhan Peninsula.

In short, if Liu Bei is to be in a hurry, it is best to make mistakes in his busy schedule.

He also learned that Tang Ji was pregnant, but the little emperor was still several years away from actually taking power, so let's let it go.

Xun Shuang was taken into the study by Yuan Santing.

"I don't know if the Taifu summoned him, what's the important thing?"

Yuan Ji laughed and ordered people to serve tea.

"Why does Ciming have to be so out of touch? Please sit down!"

In Yuan Ji's study room is a set of "imitation Yong style furniture", the materials and workmanship are the best choice.

Xun Shuang took his seat calmly, drinking tea with Yuan Ji and chatting.

Holding a white porcelain teacup, Yuan Ji said in a calm tone: "Green tea, porcelain, liquor, furniture, fireworks, artillery, teahouses, public schools, banks, banknotes, bonds, special forces, royal guards, paddle ships, fast sailing ships, etc." , steamed buns, self-service wedding banquets, woolen cloth, women's enrollment, movable type printing books, etc., I don't know what Ciming thinks?"
