Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

Taxes alone?

It's definitely better to run it yourself!

You have earned all the money, but you still don’t help the court to support people, so what will be the final result?

The rich and powerful, but the imperial court has no money and capital.

This situation is basically what it was like in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Donglin Party and local merchants are called rich.

However, Chongzhen's court had no money.

Moreover, you have to listen to the Donglin Party, don't ask for money from the powerful and merchants, but just exploit the poor and poor people.

The imperial court can't afford the money to support the troops, but the world has a lot of money.

As a result, the imperial court was unable to send out power, and was restricted and clamped everywhere.

If you don't perish, who will perish?

When a court has no one who dares to fight and no one is willing to contribute, no matter how high the court is, how large the territory is, and how many people there are, it is just a mess of sand, and the country is not far from subjugation.

This was true at the end of the Song Dynasty, and it was also true at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the overall wealth of the country and the wealth of the court are two completely different things.

Chapter 436 Owe?that has interest

After hearing this, the dignitaries looked at each other in blank dismay.

Regarding what Feng Zheng said, it is impossible for them to say that they are completely ignorant.

However, even if they know, they may still choose to do so.

This purpose, nothing else, of course, is to make money.

They also understand very well that the imperial court will hand over these things to the powerful and private individuals with ease?

Of course it is impossible!

However, they have spent all the money and done everything. At this time, the court can't just go back in vain, right?

How is that?

How much, do you have to give some compensation and subsidies?

In other words, they were not fools from beginning to end.

You can also guess what you are doing.

If they do this, even if the imperial court wants to take it back, they must give some compensation, right?

Of course it will!

It's just a matter of how much!

And what they want, of course, is for the court to spend a large sum of money to make up for them.

Therefore, these things, from the very beginning, were the operations of the rich and powerful who wanted to earn more money from the court.

And Ying Zheng will not be the kind of person who is particularly harsh, so his idea must be to reprimand him severely first, and then give him a little subsidy to get the things back.

The dignitaries were reprimanded and made a big mistake, and they were able to get some compensation and subsidies.

What is this called?

This is called a slap, a sweet date.

The reason why Feng Quji was a little afraid to accept it was because he was the one who planned this matter. If Qin Shihuang asked him to reprimand all the officials and nationalize things, then he would definitely struggle, because he was not a human being inside and outside.

Therefore, he did not dare to do it, nor could he do it.

And this matter must be done by Feng Zheng.

Because, he and these dignitaries are not in the same group at all, and they are even more ruthless.

"What the father taught is exactly what the Marquis of Chang'an said, and Fusu has been taught."

After hearing this, Fusu bowed and said.

In fact, although Fusu didn't fully understand this principle, it was not a blank slate.

What he did was more like implementing a soft policy.

Give favors and benefits to the powerful in exchange for the powerful's denial of the court.

It's just that Qin Shihuang didn't want him to do this, because if he gave too much of what he had in hand, people's appetites would change. As the supreme ruler, it would be difficult to manipulate people in the future.

"Well, in the future, I will learn more from Marquis Chang'an."

Ying Zheng said immediately, "Feng Zheng, then I will leave it to you to adjust the court's business laws and industries."

[Ma Madi, I knew it! 】

Feng Zhengxin said, 【It's true that you just came back, so you gave me a troublesome errand! 】

"No, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely settle this matter for Your Majesty."

"OK."

"However, Your Majesty..."

Feng Zheng laughed, and said, "It's just that there is a big matter here, if it can't be handled well, then the minister will be very sad..."

kindness?

After hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately asked, "Who?"

"Your Majesty, these dignitaries don't give money or food..."

Feng Zheng spread his hands, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when I went to the expedition, I promised the soldiers that if they returned triumphantly, they would take out half of the 400 million shi grains given by the dignitaries, a full 200 ​​million shi grains, Distributed to them and the family members of the military as a reward... Now, if the dignitaries don't give it, what will the humble officials do?"

How to do?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, the rich and powerful felt proud for a while.

Of course you do it yourself!

This is your own business, anyway, we will not pay for money and food!

"His Majesty……"

Hearing this, a dignitary said immediately, "We really don't have much money in our hands now, and we don't have this grain... Marquis of Chang'an, you have to give us a way to survive, right? I don't know about our property. What can I do..."

That's right, if we want money, then we have to have a lot of money, right?

Naturally, this money has to be repaid to us by confiscating our industries?

Depends on how much you pay...

In other words, these dignitaries are also watching how much subsidy Ying Zheng will give.

If the subsidy is less, then they will naturally continue to cry poor.

Ha ha?

After hearing what the dignitaries said, Ying Zheng laughed angrily in his heart.

Sure enough, this group of people is also a group of monkey spirits.

[Ma Madi, what a bunch of greedy people! 】

Feng Zhengxin said, 【This is trying to force me not to ask for money through His Majesty? 】

[Or, through me, let His Majesty make the court spend a lot of money for me? 】

[No matter which one it is, they are persecuting me in reverse? 】

[Hehe, who am I, grandpa, wanting to plot against me?dream! 】

kindness?

After hearing Feng Zheng's voice, Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment.

Good boy, this kid really saw it all...

However, what solution did he find?

I would like to hear what his plan is...

"Feng Zheng, you have heard the words of this powerful man, what do you think?"

Looking at Feng Zheng, Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the dignitaries are right!"

Feng Zheng said solemnly, "Now, the grain in their hands is being deposited in the National Bank of Daqin, and the money in their hands is being used for some business operations...

Well, if I take the opportunity to ask for a lot of money from them at this time, wouldn't that force His Majesty to spend money instead?How could this courtier do this?Is that human being?Ministers, what do you think? "

What am I?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, the rich and powerful immediately had black lines on their faces.

Ma Madi, scold us?

Well, you can scold, scold us and admit it!

The dignitaries said in their hearts, you have said it yourself, if you persecute His Majesty again, is it still a person?

We don't need to be human, as long as His Majesty gives us money!

You said that yourself, if you don't force His Majesty, then you don't want our 400 million shi of grain, right?

This is so good!

Being scolded can save such a huge debt, this scolding is comfortable!

"Your Majesty, what the Marquis of Chang'an said is true!"

After hearing this, a dignitary smiled, "The Marquis of Chang'an is His Majesty, he is indeed loyal! Presumably, he will not let Your Majesty do anything difficult!"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, a powerful man immediately praised Feng Zheng for a while.

"exactly!"

After the other dignitaries heard this, they immediately agreed.

he?

Hearing what the dignitaries said, Ying Zheng smiled in his heart, this boy, he will naturally not be too embarrassing to me.

However, you are still thinking, will he really let you go?

Take it for granted, my loves!

You don't even think about it, has he suffered any disadvantages?

"Hey, what the adults are talking about is..."

Feng Zheng smiled, and said unhurriedly, "So, I'm going to..."

Ready, don't ask us for money?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, the dignitaries burst into ecstasy.

"Get ready, let everyone pay the IOUs first."

"Hit, IOU?"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone was stunned.

"yes……"

Feng Zheng said, "It's like borrowing something. How can you not pay it back? And if you don't pay it back for a long time, how can you not charge interest? Besides, what you owe me is not too little, right?

So, I don't want things now, but I have to in the future!I have to charge interest until you pay it off! "

What am I?

You still have to?

And, you still charge interest?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, everyone was speechless for a while.
