Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

It's spring now.

As for future snow disaster relief, I'm afraid there won't be any.

However, the entire Song Dynasty had such a large land area. Now that the snow disaster is gone, when there is sufficient rain in summer, natural disasters such as flash floods and mudslides may break out somewhere.

When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to spend money to provide disaster relief.

If at that time, there was no silver in the treasury.

People all over the world, once they are hit by a disaster, may turn to bandits again because of their livelihood problems.

Also, even if we want to mobilize troops now, will it require a large amount of military spending?

Adding all this together, is the 1104 million taels of silver earned previously still considered too much?

I’m afraid that by then, it may not be enough.

Besides, this is a way to make money selling geothermal systems, although the money comes very quickly.

But if you want to copy it after this, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

After all, neither Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, Tong Guan, nor low-level officials like Kong Youdao are fools.

Once they understand my method of getting rich, it will be very difficult for them to do it again.

So now, I have to think of a more secure way to make money with more stable money.

If not, it will be difficult for my regime to last for a long time.

When Zhao Ji thought of this, he couldn't help but feel extremely upset.

With a helpless face, he waved his hand to Su Yuanjing, who was standing under the imperial steps.

Then he said this with a slight sigh:

"Su Aiqing, your suggestion is good."

"But right now, we don't have much silver in the Song Dynasty's treasury."

"If we rashly send troops to that place to suppress the bandits, I'm afraid it won't be easy to win."

But what Zhao Ji didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, another high-ranking civil servant walked out of the queue of civil servants.

And that person was none other than Taiwei Gao Qiu, who had always been dissatisfied with Su Yuanjing's behavior.

Once upon a time, Gao Qiu was also favored by that old boy Zhao Ji.

But since Zhao Ji traveled through time, when he faced Gao Qiu again, he became much colder.

This couldn't help but make Gao Qiu feel very strange.

For a moment, he couldn't find the reason, so he dumped all his anger on Su Yuanjing's head.

He thought it was the Su Yuanjing in front of him who was secretly stirring up trouble in front of Zhao Ji.

That's why Zhao Ji became increasingly cold towards him.

After Gao Qiu glanced at Su Yuanjing with disdain, he walked around him and suggested to Zhao Ji with his chest raised high:

"Officials, from my perspective, this Lieutenant Su did it on purpose."

"Knowing that our Song Dynasty's treasury is empty, we still tell the officials these disturbing things."

"As for that purpose, it's self-evident."

"Liu Taiwei, as a minister, you don't think about how to relieve the officials and family every day, but you spend all day focusing on things that seem impossible to do at the moment."

"It's like this, but what's the point?"

"From my perspective, this kind of official is either stupid or bad!"

"They are just stupid. They just bother the officials with these disgusting things every day."

"And the bad thing about them is that they like to secretly watch the officials shake their heads in helplessness when they encounter these difficulties!"

As soon as Gao Qiu said these words, Su Yuanjing was so angry that he clenched his white teeth and his long beard trembled slightly.

He just wished he could use his bastard fists and beat up Gao Qiu on the spot to relieve his anger.

But since Su Yuanjing has been an official for many years, he still has some discipline and restraint in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiu was deliberately misinterpreting his meaning.

Immediately, he hurriedly looked at Zhao Ji sitting on the dragon throne and explained:

"Officials, humble ministers definitely don't mean that."

"The official is a saint and a wise man, so don't listen to the slanderous words of that treacherous villain!"

At this moment, sitting on the dragon throne is no longer the former doting and sycophantic Zhao Ji.

Zhao Jiji understood very well what Gao Qiu meant by what he said at this moment.

Seeing those two people, they started to quarrel in the court again after saying something disagreeable.

The look on Zhao Ji's face became increasingly ugly.

He shouted loudly:

"That's enough, stop arguing!"

"What Su Aiqing just said is true, and what Gao Aiqing just said about the empty treasury is also not false."

"Then now, you two, please give us your opinions on how to replenish the treasury."

"I will listen to whoever speaks well and whoever speaks makes sense."

Su Yuanjing and Gao Qiu became very angry when they saw Zhao Ji.

So now, I no longer make so loud noises.

After a long pause, Gao Qiu, who was standing under the imperial steps, looked righteously at Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair:

"The official view, from the humble minister's point of view, is that under the current situation, the top priority is to raise money for the national treasury as soon as possible."

"And the Weichen's method is to continue to collect money, food, taxes and taxes from the people of the world."

"Of course, as for the name, we need to think about it again."

"If not, how can all the unscrupulous people in the world be willing to obediently hand over the money and food needed by the country?"

"So Wei Chen's suggestion here is..."

"I want the government to re-formulate a safe and happy industry tax."

"So that all tax collection officials in the Song Dynasty can have laws to follow when collecting tax money from those unruly people."

When Zhao Ji, who was sitting at the top, suddenly heard about the so-called peace and happiness tax.

The whole person couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Because Zhao Ji really doesn't understand, what does this so-called Ping An Leye tax mean?

Zhao Ji, who still couldn't understand the meaning after thinking for a long time, had no choice but to throw this question to the initiator.

But when Gao Qiu used his own words to explain the so-called peace and happiness tax.

Only then did Zhao Ji understand what Gao Qiu, known as the No. [-] soccer god of the Song Dynasty, was thinking.

"Officials, the so-called peace and happiness tax is extremely simple if you explain it in detail."

"That is, our Song Dynasty stationed millions of troops. Wouldn't it cost money to raise so many troops every year?"

"And what are those silver coins spent by us in the Song Dynasty for?"

"Isn't it just so that the people in the world can work in peace and contentment?"

"In this case, shouldn't the people of the Song Dynasty, who are deeply protected by the Song Dynasty's army, pay corresponding taxes and silver?"

"And the safe and happy industry tax refers to this part of the tax money."

After Zhao Ji listened to Gao Qiu's explanation, he suddenly wanted to laugh.

But suddenly I felt that it was not appropriate to laugh at this moment.
