I'm so hard

Chapter 98
The next day, Zhao Yan established a secret organization called "Fenghuotang".

The Beacon Hall is under the direct management of Zhao Yan, and Yang Hong and Shen Tuyi are the deputy hall masters.All internal expenses are directly provided by the treasury.

Anyone who can enter the Beacon Hall will at least enjoy the treatment of a fifth-rank civil servant or above.

Currently, 12-year-old Xiaoqiu Mu has the same official position as his father.

Ending war with war is a good strategy.

Zhao Yan is determined to build an invincible team. If there are invaders to attack, Zhao Yan will use actions to tell them what is called crushing, what is called fear, and what is called a deep sense of powerlessness.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three days left until Zhao Yan's wedding day.

The emperor's first big wedding was naturally a big event that was celebrated with the people and many countries came to congratulate him.

The degree of excitement is comparable to that of the Great Court Meeting and Lantern Festival in January every year.

Because Dazhou defeated Northern Mongolia and caused Heihan a huge loss, the surrounding countries all showed strong kindness to Dazhou, especially Koryo. The new special envoy even sent eight Korean girls to Zhao Yan.

If ordinary people get married and other people send women over, it is obviously to spoil the situation.But Zhao Yan is the emperor, so the meaning is different.

And Zhao Yan had to accept it, otherwise others would think he was not good enough!

And the state governments in various places also contributed money and efforts, and paid tribute to Zhao Yan with many special products.

As for Northern Mongolia, after Shanpu was imprisoned, they sent another peace envoy and brought many gifts.

It's not because they are afraid of Da Zhou, but if Lu Nianwei's marriage is not grand enough, Bei Meng will lose face.

But at this moment, in the Sansi yamen, Kong Moshan looked depressed.

Because the treasury is out of money again.

Since Zhao Yan took office, the weather in Dazhou has been relatively smooth. In the past year, the land tax, commercial tax, and the profits from salt, iron, wine and tea have amounted to about 6000 million yuan. It fluctuates around 8000 million guan.

From this point of view, Dazhou's economy is on the rise, and it is getting richer and richer.

However, because of a war, although there were not many casualties in Dazhou, the consumption of food and grass was a lot.

Moreover, Zhao Yan attached great importance to the army, greatly improved the welfare of the soldiers, and was even more willing to spend money on treating the common people, which caused the treasury of the Great Zhou to be unable to make ends meet.

Now that Zhao Yan is getting married, all the ministers are eager to hold a grand ceremony for Zhao Yan, and there are a lot of places to spend money. Seeing that Zhao Yan will get married in three days, the materials are also very poorly prepared. Eighty-eight, but the treasury is empty.

Hundreds of officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty always paid their salaries at the end of the year, once a year, and according to this situation, Kong Moshan would not be able to pay his salary at the end of the year.

At this moment, soldiers came to report outside the door, and Liu Qing, the foreign trade envoy, came to see him.

The position of foreign trade envoy is a false one, because Liu Qing didn't want to be Kong Moshan's subordinate, so Zhao Yan assigned the foreign trade envoy to the Ministry of Households and under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province.

However, the Ministry of Education can't control it, after all, Liu Qing is not in Dazhou most of the time.

When he heard that his brother-in-law had come, Kong Moshan couldn't help being overjoyed. He heard that Liu Qing had made some money from his foreign trade business this year, and it hadn't been handed over to the state treasury yet.This time His Majesty got married, the latter must have come to give money.

Kong Moshan was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was as flat as water. After all, the relationship between the two was not very good.

In the most difficult time, Liu Qing never asked Kong Moshan once, and Kong Moshan couldn't bow to Liu Qing.

"Let him... let him come in!" Kong Moshan found a chair and sat up solemnly. As a brother-in-law, he still had to put on a show.

After a while, Liu Qing swaggered in, glanced at Kong Moshan, and then sat on a chair beside him.

Without saying a word, he raised Erlang's legs by the way, pulling harder than Kong Moshan.

As a businessman who has studied money very thoroughly, Liu Qing has always paid attention to the expenditure of the Great Zhou Treasury. He is very sure that the Great Zhou Treasury has no money now, so he came to send money.

However, he has always had a wish, that is, to let this brother-in-law, who has always been aloof, beg him to speak softly.

In other words, if Kong Moshan refused to accept his softness today and did not say a few soft words of compliments, it would be impossible for Liu Qing to take out the money immediately.

After all, Zhao Yan did not order him to turn over the money allocated to the court to the state treasury immediately.

The two sat quietly like this, one more stubborn than the other, and neither of them spoke.

After a while, Liu Qing couldn't bear it any longer, coughed twice and said, "Isn't the third envoy pouring tea?"

Kong Moshan rolled his eyes and said: "The teapot is in the narration, if you want to drink, pour it yourself."

Liu Qing looked at the teapot not far away, and didn't get up, but said in a strange tone: "I, Liu Qing, thanks to the blessing of the Holy One, made a lot of money in foreign trade this year, part of it is His Majesty's share, which should be handed over to you." For the state treasury, since the people in the third office are relatively busy, and no one is here to pour tea, then I will go back first!"

After all, Liu Qing got up and was about to leave.

Kong Moshan suddenly became a little anxious, and shouted loudly towards the door: "Come here, make tea!"

Soon, a servant walked in quickly and replaced Liu Qing with steaming tea.

Liu Qing smiled triumphantly, and sat down on the chair again.

Kong Moshan asked blankly, "How much money should you turn over to the treasury?"

Liu Qing pretended to be subtle and said: "Not too many, not too many, that's the number."

Liu Qing stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand guan?" Kong Moshan has always looked down on Liu Qing's business, thinking that outside of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a barren place where he can't make much money.As for Liu Qing, who just opened up his business, a profit of [-] guan would be good.

At that time, Zhao Yan's handwritten order was that in addition to commercial taxes, he did not want the money earned by the Liu family's foreign trade, and only needed to provide some foreign information.

But Liu Qing is a smart man, he knows that water flows forever, and he must not lose this big backer, and promised to hand over [-]% of the profits to the state treasury.

"Twenty thousand guan? You underestimate me, guess boldly!" Liu Qing said proudly, shaking three fingers.

"Could it still be 20 guan?" Kong Moshan said in surprise.

Liu Qing looked at Kong Moshan with the gaze of a landlord looking at a country bumpkin, and said, "It's 200 million."

According to the usual situation, Liu Qing would definitely not be able to make so much money, but Liu Qing made a fortune from Beimeng and Heihan.

Because of the defeat of the two countries, people panicked. Liu Qing bought and sold them and made a lot of money.

In fact, if 100% of the money he earned was distributed to the treasury, it would be just over 200 million guan, but he felt that this time he made money thanks to the army of Da Zhou, so he directly took out [-] million guan.

As soon as Kong Moshan heard the 200 million guan, he almost shed his breath. With these 200 million guan, he can pass this year by tightening his waistband.

But Liu Qing suddenly stood up and said, "I'll settle the 200 million yuan at the end of the year!"

After all, Liu Qing swaggered towards the door, he had achieved the purpose of showing off, and he was waiting for Kong Moshan to stop him from speaking soft words.

But Kong Moshan was completely anxious.
