Peerless Daoist

The entire Qiankun Temple was silent.

The officials who were still arguing just now stopped talking and raised their heads in amazement.

Li Si prepared the imperial decree in advance, which means that Li Si had already made preparations, and even discussing with them was just a passing scene.

The most troublesome thing for all the ministers was that since this order was a sacred edict, it must have been approved by Lu Yu.

They could target Li Si, but when they faced Lu Yu, everyone's mentality was no longer as calm and calm as they were at first.

The Zhao family left the imperial capital in despair. Such a scene is still vivid in their minds, and no one dared to refute Lu Yu at this time.

"Lord Shoufu, why don't you explain, what exactly do these two yamen do?" a minister asked.

Li Si said lightly: "The first is the General Administration of Merchants. Its responsibility is to be responsible for attracting investment in a certain area. To be precise, it is the government to attract investment."

Seeing the dazed expressions on the faces of many ministers, Li Si continued:

"Let me take Yunyang Star in the Imperial Capital Region as an example. Yunyang Star is a very poor star mansion, with few resources, not much food, and not many masters. Yunyang Star Masters are often only relegated officials. ."

"In such a place, there is no money for money, and no one for people. Many people have left Yunyang Star in recent years. The dignified Yunyang City has a population of less than 500,000. The establishment of the General Administration of Merchants is To make this area rich."

A minister smiled and said: "We naturally know about Yunyang Star. It is a famous poor place. If nothing else, there are not many monks who come from there, and most of them are mortals. Allocate a large amount of money to support Yunyang Star. How can you make it rich in such a backcountry?"

Everyone else laughed too.

They are all officials of the Ministry of Household, who control the world's money, grain and land, and naturally know the situation of Yunyang Star very well.

That kind of poor place has no chance to become rich at all.

Li Si nodded: "Yes, Yunyang Star does not have enough resources according to common sense. But you forgot, precisely because Yunyang Star has few people, it has enough land resources to use. "

The minister pondered: "You mean to exchange land resources for other resources?"

"It's not an exchange, but a rational allocation of resources."

Li Si said: "I will give a simple example. Yunyang Star can open up an area to attract businessmen for investment and construction. Animal taming farms, testing grounds, medicinal herbs, and factories all require a lot of land. Industry. Attract businessmen from other places to invest in a low-cost way, and build industries here, which can solve local employment.”

"At the same time, with the establishment of industries, these places can quickly restore the economic level of the peak period. This is just one of them. After all, there are still a few impoverished stars like Yunyang Star, and more Star Palaces have projects to find funds, or There are funds to find projects, and this is what the General Administration of Merchants has to do to cultivate the economic vitality of a region by assisting the government in resource scheduling."

This is a rather novel idea.

But the ministers present were all extremely intelligent people, and after just thinking for a moment, they immediately understood the importance of this yamen.
