I'm a scumbag?impossible! [Quick Transmigration]

Li Ziyu has finally been free recently, and sometimes he will arrive late and leave early, and his colleagues are relieved to see him like this.

You know, ever since Li Qianhong came to their Ministry of Industry, he had an idea almost every day, making them, who were at the bottom of the various ministries, busy like a spinning top.

Why is it said that the Ministry of Industry is the bottom of the six?This also starts with the functions of each department.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries, and there has always been a saying that the officials are relegated and promoted in the hands of others.Such a department is naturally the first object of favor in the officialdom.

The household department is in charge of the country's money bag, and the emperor must have a serious name when asking for money from the household department.If any department offends the Ministry of Finance, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance does not need to say anything else, as long as there is a wave of crying poor, saying that the national treasury is tight, there is nothing you can do, and respect is taken for granted.

The working environment of the Ministry of Rites is the most comfortable, and the daily life of basic officials is like retirement.But "ritual" is in the right place, and the emperor's enthronement ceremony would be infamous without the Ministry of Rites presiding over it.

What's more, they are also in charge of the school and are responsible for arranging the imperial examinations.When something happens, you can take a lot of etiquette systems and wander around, enough for you to drink a pot.No one dares to offend this department that has something to do with both "money" and "power".

As for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, although there are the Privy Council and the Supervisory Council at the top, they still maintain the stability of the country and social stability. If you want to live well, you have to rely on others.

Look at their Ministry of Industry again. They are responsible for civil and water conservancy projects across the country, and at the same time they have to do research and development part-time.Traveling on business, going to various places for construction projects, prospecting and mining is even more commonplace.To be honest, all the real technical posts are provided here, which is really thankless.

For example, the saying "the third level of Beijing official university" has existed since ancient times, but this does not apply to their Ministry of Industry.So those with a bit of ability jumped out early, and who are the rest?

There are those who offend others and get pushed out, some who are rigid and not good at communicating with others, some who are dedicated to research and development, and some who just don’t move.

But this situation has ceased to exist since Li Qianhong came, and this is definitely not an exaggeration.If he is honestly busy with the work of the imperial workshop, it will be fine.

They can also understand what kind of horseshoes the Ordnance Workshop produces. After all, he still has to beg for food in the Hou Mansion, so it's normal to please his father-in-law.

But he also extended his hand to the Ministry of Construction and Cleansing, and asked them to experiment with some cement technology.

He asked Yu Hengqing to make a batch of new scales according to his requirements, not to say that the inch is not fine enough, but to be as fine as cents and centimeters. He even suggested that the foundry department improve the smelting technology, so as to prevent the coins from being circulated for a long time and causing wear and tear. rust.

Dushui Qingli's family is responsible for the estimation of the project cost and the follow-up book making. This has nothing to do with him, right?But even such departments have been affected.

Last month, Zhou Zhaomo reported the accounts to Mr. Li. Mr. Li felt that it was inconvenient to check the accounts, so he created a new method of registration and bookkeeping.This method is really simple, and those who are familiar with Zhou Zhaomo have also learned it.

It didn't take long for Feng Shangshu to know, and then he ordered the Chengdu Shuiqing Officials Department to use a new method to transcribe and register all the accounts since the beginning of the year.Recently, from the top to the bottom of the Cleaning Department, there is no doubt that his face is haggard and his eyes are bloodshot. In the final analysis, this is all the fault of Li Qianhong!

Some people may say that if you are not satisfied, you can quit!But isn't this~ isn't there someone in charge of Mr. Li?I heard that those who were waiting to die in the sky prison were fished out by him to dig mines. Let them hit eggs with stones, isn't that courting death!

Now the Ministry of Industry can't wait to confess this ancestor!Mr. Li, please calm down. Although he has calmed down, the idea he came up with has kept everyone busy. If he has a flash of inspiration sometime, I'm afraid they will be too busy with the hot wheels under their feet.

Although Mr. Li was too much trouble, those who are careful also found that the Ministry of Industry has gradually changed. The most intuitive thing is that their department has started to make money, and everyone's wallets have also increased a lot.

This starts with the flat glass before, but those craftsmen emphasized that their new glass is called glass, and they also said that the cost of glass is lower.

Regardless of these, let’s say that the things in the imperial workshop were originally used by the royal family and rewarded to the courtiers, and they rarely flowed out. I don’t know what method the chestnut master used. As a result, the emperor let go and said: If there is surplus production, the Ministry of Industry is allowed to pass through the girders. Commercial sales.[-]% of the profits earned will be collected by the state treasury, and the remaining [-]% can be used for research and development expenses and incentives.

Li Qianhong also said that to reflect the advertising effect, he directly decorated the cabinet with glass inlays in the Taotie building. The cabinet was placed on the street, and passers-by could clearly see the shape and quantity of pastries in the cabinet.

After the advertising effect was full, there were those who came forward to inquire. When they learned that the Daliang Trading Company was selling it, there was a wealthy family who inquired immediately, and learned that although the price was not cheap, it was acceptable.But the store is responsible for the installation, and the company is also responsible for any damage in the middle.

Daliang Commercial Bank is owned by the government, which invisibly increases people's trust in it, and orders are placed immediately.

The other ministries didn't take the matter of the Ministry of Industry to earn extra money at first, but they all underestimated how much the people of the Liang Dynasty, especially the powerful, sought after novelties. For the item of glass, in just over a month, they earned the salary of everyone in the Ministry of Industry for a year.

As a result, Qian Shangshu of the household department directly challenged Feng Shangshu in the court, thinking that all the money should naturally be recorded in the national treasury, and their household department should be responsible.

Qian Shangshu originally wanted to talk about a strategy. First, he suggested that the Ministry of Households should take over all the projects, and then leave [-]% to the Ministry of Industry.

No one thought that Feng Shangshu would fight hard with reason and never give in. No one expected that Feng Shangshu, who has always been kind to others, would be so strong.

According to Wei Hou's description, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty watched the two lords of the Shangshu fight with each other. If there were no two lords in the middle, a big fight would have been possible.

The emperor saw that they were really outrageous, and intervened many times, but after a while, the two would quarrel again. In short, it was very enjoyable for everyone to watch.

I think that Qian Shangshu is a veritable iron rooster. He always holds his money bag tightly and does not let others touch it. What about when the money bag is stretched out?

Li Ziyu actually admired Qian Shangshu, mainly because the work of the household department is really difficult!

Although the Liang Dynasty overthrew the previous dynasty and made many reforms, the status of merchants has also improved, but in general it is still dominated by agriculture, and merchants are still at the bottom of the general understanding. The main source of national taxation is agricultural tax and Salt, iron, and commercial taxes accounted for a very small proportion.

The current land does not allow private transactions. If you want to sell the land, you need to go to the government to register. At the same time, both the buyer and the seller have to pay a large sum of money to curb the disadvantages of the former dynasty. This reduces the possibility of ordinary people being oppressed, and at the same time increases the country's fiscal revenue.

But even so, Daliang Chao's annual income last year was only 3200 million guan, or 200 million taels of silver, of which 70.00% was agricultural tax.

Li Ziyu was also taken aback when he first found out. He has been staying in the capital since he came to this world. The main source of income for the Hou Mansion is also business. He really did not expect the business environment to be so sluggish.

You must know that in his previous life, he had a feudal dynasty with prosperous commerce, and his annual income could reach 6000 million taels of silver.

Qian Shangshu had to set aside emergency funds and at the same time ensure the country's financial expenditure for a year. The difficulties and pressures involved can be imagined.

But even so, when the emperor was benefiting the people's livelihood, he still had to grit his teeth and squeeze out that share of money. This alone deserves the admiration of others. One can imagine the heartache when seeing the money that can enrich the treasury flow out. Know.

However, understanding is all about understanding. Li Ziyu agrees with Feng Shangshu's approach. After all, he is currently working in the Ministry of Industry, and the future economic prosperity of the Liang Dynasty will be in the hands of the Ministry of Industry. It is also reasonable to enjoy a wave of dividends first. middle.

He just wanted to say that Feng Shangshu is worthy of being their boss, once he speaks out, he will be extraordinary!

It's just that Li Ziyu just finished feeling emotional the day before, and the next day he found out that Boss Feng had sold him.

He was late again that day, and before he reached the gate of the yamen, he was stopped by an attendant in a long gown. The attendant was very polite, and he gave him a deep bow first, and then said, "Master Li, the younger one is Qian Shangshu." Waiter, I am here now because Master Shang Shu wants to invite you to the teahouse opposite, do you have time?"

As soon as Li Ziyu heard the name of the other party, he knew that he could not refuse. Then he raised his eyes and stared at the teahouse opposite, and saw an elder in official uniform raising his glass to him from a distance.

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Li Ziyu nodded and said, "It's an honor!"

Li Ziyu could also guess the purpose of Qian Shangshu's invitation to talk to him, but going out to drink tea during working hours is really good.Because of the place chosen by Qian Shangshu, Li Ziyu had a good impression of him first.

The teahouse is not far from here, only a few steps away, and the attendant led him all the way to the door of the box.

When Li Ziyu entered the door, Qian Shangshu didn't take a big deal, and welcomed him in very friendly. Seeing what he knew, it was hard for Li Ziyu to imagine that such an old fox in the officialdom could quarrel with Feng Shangshu in the court.

"Qianhong! Sit down, sit down, the last time I met you was when the Marquis Mansion held an entrance examination banquet, and you've become very busy now that you've entered the officialdom, and it's hard to even have a chance to meet!"

"Where is it! In the officialdom, you are both my superior and my elder. I often hear my father-in-law mentioning you in the mansion, saying that the soldiers at the frontier can guard the frontier without your full support. For your character , I am extremely admired!"

Just meeting Ji Feng let Qian Shangshu know who the young man opposite him was, and sighed secretly: No wonder Feng Xirui said that Old Wei had a good life.How could such a person who gave birth to Linglong's heart and heart be captured by the Zhenbeihou Mansion!

As soon as the two came and went, Feng Shangshu changed his strategy. He treated Li Ziyu not only with the care of the elders for the younger generation, but also with respect for his peers.

"How about Qianhong and me talking about a game? Let's talk while playing chess."

"So you want it!" Li Ziyu saw that the other party picked up the white stone and obviously wanted to let him, so he didn't refuse, picked up a black stone and dropped it.

"My Uncle Guanshi has a worried look on his brows, but what problems did he encounter? You might as well say it out, my nephew is not talented, and I think I'm a little clever."

Dealing with smart people is such a pleasure, Qian Shangshu asked Li Ziyu out to come out not for the sake of playing bureaucracy, remembering what Lao Feng said yesterday - it is useless for you to hold me, the money from the Ministry of Industry has long been arranged and understood , If you even give it to the Ministry of Households, I don't have to do this job as a minister. I don't know who can solve your urgent needs in the Hou's mansion!After leaving this sentence, the other party left in a hurry.

Qian Shangshu pondered for a moment, dropped a pawn, and said, "I'm not going to hide it from you, but I have no choice but to ask you out in a hurry. There will be a war at the border this year, do you know about it?"

"I heard my father-in-law mentioned it."

"Then do you know what the treasury revenue was last year?"

"Slightly heard!"

"Haha, you brat!" Qian Shangshu laughed, then sighed again, and said, "Then do you know that half of the national treasury will be emptied out this year due to bridge and road construction and floods in Dongzhou?"

Li Ziyu dropped the chess pieces onto the board and said, "My nephew doesn't know!" Now he knew why Qian Shangshu was so anxious.

I only heard the other side continue to say: "If you want to raise troops to fight, you need to prepare at least three years of treasury revenue before you can go to the battlefield. The transportation of food is huge, and this year's fried noodles can only reduce part of the consumption. A battle of 10 people, fighting The three-month war consumes more than half of the annual income of a rich and powerful country, and our Liang is far from reaching that level now, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Ziyu didn't answer, but asked instead: "Uncle Shi, have you ever thought about when we will reach prosperity with the current tax distribution ratio in Daliang?"

"Qianhong just said it!"

"Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business has existed in ancient times. Although our dynasty did not explicitly suppress business, not supporting it is a kind of suppression in itself. I also have some guesses about what those in power are concerned about. Looking at the dynasties of all dynasties, there are those who are at the peak of Wenzhiwugong However, no matter what the rulers are, these dynasties have one thing in common, that is, the dynasties only lasted for more than three hundred years. From this, it can be seen that it is not credible for the "Shang" to shake the country."

Li Ziyu's remarks can be said to be extremely bold. Here he did not say that "business" will not shake the foundation of the country, but it will shake the foundation of the ruling class.

Since merchants can use money to buy goods, of course they can also use money to buy force. It is not easy to solve this problem.

But although he didn't say this, Qian Shangshu couldn't have thought of it.It’s just that what Li Ziyu said earlier is very clear. Since the previous dynasty has already tested that emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business cannot make the country last forever, why don’t we explore a better way?At least it can make people's lives better.

Qian Shangshu just took a deep look at Li Ziyu, and then sighed: "Although this method is good, it also has many disadvantages, not to mention it is too late right now."

"I have a method here. If Uncle Shi thinks it is feasible, you can try it."

"Nephew, please tell me."

The two were talking about important matters related to the reform of the Liang Dynasty, but their subordinates were not at all chaotic, and the stalemate on the chessboard gradually became clear.

"First, we can build a row of shops outside the south city, and fix the market that is spontaneously formed among the people at the beginning, middle, and end of each month. The shops can be rented out to merchants who need them. As for how to collect taxes, households still need to All the adults in the Ministry brainstorm. We can collect a few copper coins as a symbolic sanitation fee from those surrounding villagers."

Qian Shangshu nodded and asked, "How can we make them come here to trade willingly?"

"You can ask the Dragon and Tiger Camp to arrange manpower assistance to maintain law and order."

"This method is just a drop in the bucket for the huge military expenditure, but Qianhong has another clever strategy."

Li Ziyu took another breath and continued, "I don't dare to make a good plan. This method is just a way to attract others. We can use the market to attract the attention of those big merchants, especially grain merchants. When they learn that the imperial court intends to let merchants escort When it comes to grain and grass, I am afraid that no family can withstand this temptation."

"Qianhong is indeed young and promising, this method really kills two birds with one stone!"

Li Ziyu made another move. Qian Shangshu saw that the black and white pieces on the chessboard were staggered, and it was a tie.

Li Ziyu said again: "It's more than killing two birds with one stone. As the saying goes, blocking is worse than sparse. Whether the treasury can be full or not depends on the hard work of those big businessmen. Those big businessmen are not short of money, but they lack a chance to change their family.

At that time, the imperial court can reward those merchants who have made contributions to the country.Either the total amount of tax paid is used as a condition, or bridges and roads are built, or meritorious service in disaster relief... As for the specific title, it depends on the situation.If there are outstanding children in that family, you might as well be extra merciful, if you want to come..."

Although Li Ziyu didn't say the rest, Qian Shangshu already understood it.

When Li Ziyu came out of the teahouse, half the morning had already passed, and he was about to go to the Yamen to order a Mao and then go back, but he was stopped by someone again, and this time it was an acquaintance who stopped him.
