Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 904 Making money from the emperor

"But you said you were my real father!"

"Can children hide from their parents?"

"Besides, you gave it to me. Are you willing to punish me when you know it?"

"You also said that you want to help me pay back the money, you must be reluctant to punish me!"

"And...and since you helped me pay back the money, I won't be in debt anymore, and naturally I don't need to sell the reward you gave me!"

The emperor felt that there was something wrong with his brain, otherwise how could he think Yin Tao was right?

"You girl!" The emperor didn't know what to say about Yin Tao, he just felt that it was rare for her to have a pure heart. As an emperor, his sons and daughters were always cautious in front of him. such purpose.

Only Yin Tao didn't ask for anything, but ran over to offer the high-yield grain that she spent a lot of money to buy and cultivate.

"Why do you dare to borrow 20 taels of gold to buy the so-called high-yield wheat seeds? Aren't you afraid that the wheat seeds are fake?" I think even he would not do such a thing.

Yin Tao smiled and said: "It was Shen Xiao's decision. During the snowstorm in the five Xishan prefectures, the common people had no food at all. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and many died of freezing and starving. At that time, the five Xishan prefectures were no different from hell.

If it wasn't for my father who thought it was strange for those people to collect grain at the time, he bought a lot of grain and hoarded it. Later, when the snowstorm came, our village, including several neighboring villages, barely survived on the grain.

Shen Xiao said that at that time, the Xishan camp was also short of food, and the soldiers faced the Xiliang people hungry...

He said that if there is really high-yield grain, the common people may be able to keep more grain in their hands, so that they can survive disasters.

The same is true for the army, if the people have more food, the court will only have more food, and if the court has more food, it will not treat the army badly.

He said that he was very scared at the time, afraid that instead of dying on the battlefield, he would die without fighting! (starve)"

"Shen Xiao was also afraid of encountering a liar, but he rescued this Western Region businessman from bandits. Because he was afraid that he would deceive us, Shen Xiao detained his son and his followers...

If you are still deceived like this, Shen Xiao said that it is God's will...

But even so, he and I are willing to give it a try. If we fail, the big deal is that we will be in debt for more than ten or twenty years.What if it works? "

"Father, you must pay back this money. I heard that the former emperor did not give any money to the people, which made the people resentful..."

"In your eyes, is the father the one who waits to renege on his debts?" The emperor raised his face when he heard the words. In fact, if someone else dared to talk to him like this, he would definitely lose his temper on the spot.

Question the emperor, want to die, don't you!

But Yin Tao's behavior made the emperor feel that she was unobstructed in front of him, sincere and true.

"No, father is the best emperor. I often listen to the old people who lived in the previous dynasty say that the former dynasty was like hell. After father came to power, they felt like a human being.

Only then did I feel that there is still a way to live, so my father is a wise emperor and a good emperor.

But I've heard that many officials seem to listen to their father's words, and come here blindly when they leave the palace.

These people eat the king's salary, but are not loyal to the king. They only think about their own pockets all day long, and even use the banner of the father to do things that damage the face of the father but fill their own pockets.

For example, the emperor ordered the subordinates to pay back the money. What should they do if they only pay back half of the money in the name of the emperor?
Could it be that Qianzhuang can still resist orders?

At that time, the father will give out 20 taels of gold, but how much can the bank receive?

It's like when the snow disaster occurred in the five prefectures of Xishan, the father sent people to relieve the disaster. The father allocated enough money and food, but in the end it was distributed to the common people... It really didn't do much good. "

"Really, father, I was a commoner back then..." Yin Tao seemed to be afraid that the emperor would not believe him, so she patted her chest and said.

The emperor's expression became serious, and he said: "When I send people to pay back the money, I will notify you to go with them, and watch them pay back the money!"

Does he understand what Yin Tao said?

He knows it well, but corruption is something that has been repeatedly banned, but he can't let it go...

"How do Tao'er think this kind of thing can be put an end to?" The emperor asked casually, Yin Tao smiled and shook his head and said: "I don't have any good ideas, I can't even manage the housekeeper, but if I can't manage the house, I will use less." people.

There are one or two hundred servants in other families. When I used to live in the Duke's Mansion, there were 22 servants in my yard.

There are too many people, not to mention the high cost, it will be chaotic, and all kinds of excuses will be made if things are not done well.

But now there are no more than three people in my yard, and one of them is the child's nurse.Then I found that there is not much difference between using three people and using 22 people. "

"It's like a poor woman who cleans the yard. Can't a woman sweep more yards? Do you have to use one or even two for each yard?"

"Then I go out to do errands. Does it have to be a fixed person to do shopping? Why don't I let this person go shopping for me today, and let the other one do it tomorrow?

I found that the same thing has been done by the same person for a long time, and the person who does it is prone to greed, and at the same time, he will think of many ways to get greedy.

But if different people are allowed to do it, there will be fewer people who are greedy, because you spend ten cents to buy cakes, why change someone to only spend eight cents...

Apart from these benefits, what's wrong with saving the money for raising servants?Whether it is buying food or clothing, is it because the food is not delicious?It still doesn't look good! "

The emperor frowned and thought about Yin Tao's words, and after a while he laughed: "The sages said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, this is really true, governing a country is like governing a family!
I understand what you mean. There are indeed too many officials in Daliang. "

"You inspired the father, the father should think about it..." the emperor pondered.

"Then my daughter will leave, and I will come to the palace to see my father another day!" Seeing this, Yin Tao got up and left. The emperor was thinking about something, so he forgot to keep Yin Tao for dinner.

It was only when Zhao Shi sent someone to invite him that he realized that Yin Tao had left.

The emperor suddenly felt guilty, he ordered someone to open a private treasury to withdraw money to help Yin Tao pay off the debt, and at the same time ordered someone to carry 1000 taels of gold to Shen's mansion to give Yin Tao.

His sweet girl was so poor that he had to subsidize it.

The emperor has made a lot of money in the past two years because of his salt and iron business, so he is a little bloated.

"Return the money, and remember to ask the princess where the batch of seeds are after you get the IOU!" the emperor ordered.

(Yin Tao, this wave of operations is too good, and you can earn 200 million taels of silver just by changing hands! Shen Xiao has the money to raise soldiers!)
