Shen Feng also knew that Yuzhou's financial problems were very tight, but the imminent problems had to be solved. If it was really urgent to solve them, it would be too late.
"Didn't I come to discuss this with you? If I don't have money, I'll find a way to make money. In short, if the number of birds in the mountains increases, they will have to leave the mountains if they don't have enough food. Don't forget that our farming area is all in Jiangbei. This If it is ruined, it will be all over. Without food, Yuzhou will be the first to be in chaos." Shen Feng quickly said to everyone.
Others were also very embarrassed when they heard about the current predicament. It is indeed what Shen Feng said. The important places in Yuzhou are basically in Jiangbei. After all, there are many plains in Jiangbei, and there are basically mountains in the south. If If the Jiangbei area is attacked, the losses will be heavy.
Yang Ye thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's increase taxes! Just collect more taxes, and this will solve the urgent need."
"It's impossible. It's not possible to raise taxes at this time. It's not okay to come up with random ideas. There are a lot of poor people in Yuzhou, and there are not many people who can sustain themselves for a month. Can we raise taxes by raising taxes? "Shen Feng immediately rejected this suggestion. Everyone in the group is extremely poor. The only tax that can be collected now is some consumption tax. This has already made many people complain. If we continue to increase taxes, what kind of tax will be collected? A poll tax? ?
Yang Ye spread his hands and said, "Then there is nothing I can do. There are no gold or silver mines in Yuzhou, and it is impossible for me to conjure money for you."
Shen Feng shook his head, looked at Guo Pinming and Yang Chang on one side, and asked: "Where are you two? What does the army mean?"
Originally, there were three people in charge of the army. Yang Chang and Guo Pinming were both old members. Lu Xian joined later, but he was considered loyal. However, news came from the prison recently. During the interrogation of Zhang Xiaoqiang, Zhang Xiaoqiang He named an accomplice, Hong Yehui, Lu Xian's wife.
As a result, Lu Xian was placed in isolation, and he planned to wait until the investigation was clear before deciding how to deal with Lu Xian.
Guo Pinming pondered for a moment and said: "We can clean up the mutated birds in the forest without any reward, but at least let the soldiers below fill their bellies? If there is not enough food, I do not recommend going on the expedition."
After all, there is still a lack of food. Food is the most basic survival material. Without food, everything is out of the question. And Yuzhou's currency system is bound to food. Shen Feng cannot randomly issue food stamps. This will Resulting in the devaluation of food stamps.
Shen Feng thought for a while and said: "It seems that the most important thing is to make money, and when it comes to money, food is needed. In this case, wouldn't it mean that we have to count on Wang Aoye from the Qinghong Gang?"
Tu Xuhuai thought for a while and said seriously: "City Lord, why not wait for a month? After the autumn harvest is over, we will have enough food. By then we will plant the winter wheat, and it will be easy to use the army. One Month’s time should be no problem, right?”
Tu Xuhuai's suggestion is very simple. Currently, there is not enough food in the city, so just wait for a month. After the autumn harvest, the food will be stored in the warehouse, and then the army will be able to be used.
Shen Feng frowned and placed his hope on time. This was a bit unreliable, but there was no other way.
"It seems that if we want to take action in time, we need to get some external food. We can only let Wang Aoye find a way. He has a strong power in Southeast Asia and controls many plantations. As long as he takes control of Once the food is delivered, we can act quickly." Shen Feng thought deeply.
At the end of the day, the most important thing will always be food. Besides food, energy is more important. But we can survive without oil and natural gas. At worst, we will just burn firewood. Without food, people will starve to death.
Tu Xuhuai nodded and said: "This year
There will be a good harvest in the fields in Yuzhou, as long as we wait until after the autumn harvest, we can start."
Shen Feng now fully understood why people in ancient times fought in autumn and winter. It was really because there was no food. If there was a lack of food, nothing could be done. Especially during wars, without food everything was out of the question.
Shen Feng was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "That's it, wait until the food is collected and then take action. I just hope there won't be any danger during this time."
The meeting dispersed, but Shen Feng couldn't calm down for a long time, because the crisis was imminent. If he didn't find a way to solve the problem of mutated birds, Yuzhou would suffer great losses once danger appeared.
After much deliberation, Shen Feng could not think of a way but to leave the matter of the City Lord's Mansion to Chang Jianyi and Chu Chaoyan. He himself found the offices of three consultants and prepared to let the three of them give him advice.
When he found Yu Zhijing, Shen Feng also carried a snuff bottle with him. When he handed it to Yu Zhijing, he said: "This contains hypnotic pollen. As long as you want to sleep, just inhale a little bit, although it won't cure you." The diseases in your body can always be relieved to some extent, but don’t smoke too much, or you may fall asleep.”
When Yu Zhijing saw what Shen Feng handed over, he was a little touched for a moment. He didn't expect that the city lord would spend so much thought on his terminal illness. It was really not easy.
"Thank you City Lord. With these pollen, my brain will definitely be able to get enough rest." Yu Zhijing said quickly.
If it weren't for the side effects of overthinking, the fruit Yu Zhijing ate must have been a good thing that thousands of people were fighting for. No matter how hard it was to find, someone would have to look for it. After all, if you eat it, you can become a genius. Who wouldn't want to Become a genius?
But as long as you eat this fruit, you will think non-stop. The nervous system is far more active than ordinary people, and the brain consumes the most energy of all organs. The brain that never stops thinking will The human body is worn down, which corresponds to the old saying that wisdom dies young. The smarter the child, the easier it is to die at a young age.
Next, Shen Feng summoned three consultants around him and began to discuss how to make money.
"I want to clean up the mutated birds in the mountains, but the most serious problem is the lack of money. Please help me think of a way to see how I can earn enough money to fight. No need to be restricted, just say whatever you want! "Shen Feng said to the three of them.
After Shen Feng raised this question, the other three people were silent for a moment. If they want to make money, there are too many ways to make money for the three of them, but all they make is small money. If they want to make big money, then It is not an easy task, especially if you want to earn enough money to go on an expedition, it is even more difficult.
Feng Shicheng suddenly said at this time: "I remember some experts said that if you want to make money, you can rent out the idle houses and drive for rentals. This is a part-time way to make extra money. City Lord, why not Encourage people in the city to make extra money outside of work?”
After receiving this answer, Shen Feng suddenly showed a complicated look and asked, "Do you think now is the time to joke?"
At this moment, Shen Feng wanted to beat this guy Feng Shicheng to death. Do you really think that everyone in Yuzhou has a house and can drive? He is not joking at this time, nor does he know how to look at the situation.
Feng Shicheng looked at Shen Feng awkwardly and said sarcastically: "Didn't I see that the atmosphere was too solemn and wanted to liven it up? Did I do something inappropriate?"
"Nonsense, if you have an idea, come up with it. Don't be clever. If you want to make a joke, wait until we have a private chat." Shen Feng rolled his eyes at Feng Shicheng. The current situation is not the time to joke, especially when it comes to making money.
Feng Shicheng quickly retracted his awkward smile and said seriously
He said solemnly: "I think it is a good choice to use financial means to make money. Open a bank and encourage everyone to deposit their food stamps in the bank. In this way, you can spend money through the bank. As long as this method is not Say, no one else knows."
"Bank?" Shen Feng thought about it and it seemed like a good idea. After all, banks can make investments. If this method is really used, it can be used in the future when there is a shortage of money.
However, when Shen Feng was thinking about this matter seriously, Banxian said: "If you want to use financial means, you must first have a trust system. City Lord, do you think everyone will honestly use the little food stamps they have?" Deposit it in the bank? You know, for many people, they are worried about their food rations in the next few days. Food stamps are hidden in the soles of their shoes and they dare not leak them. Will they trust the bank?"
"This..." Shen Feng hesitated and did not answer, but he thought of some things that had happened before. Many banks had gone bankrupt, and the highest compensation share the bank could pay to depositors was only 500,000. This kind of thing always happened. Since then, everyone has kept their money in big banks and no longer trust small banks.
At present, there is no bank established in Yuzhou, because it is temporarily unavailable and few people know how to save money. People would rather hide their food stamps at home than ask for a bank to be established. After all, they are just saving money if they leave it at home. If you can see it, if you put it in the bank, it will just be a series of numbers, and you might lose it.

Shen Feng had the answer, then looked at Feng Shicheng and asked: "Is there any other way? Go ahead and let me screen it."
Feng Shicheng spread his hands and said: "Then let's promulgate a law and set up three crimes, namely the crime of hooliganism, the crime of speculation, and the crime of dereliction of duty. If you see anyone committing these three crimes, arrest them, and then have them arrested. Pay money as a guarantee, and if you arrest more people, you can collect money."
When Shen Feng heard this, he was immediately speechless. Aren't these the three big pocket crimes? In short, anyone who doesn't like it can be arrested. The crime of hooliganism can be directly placed on the head and sentenced. It really has to be what Feng Shicheng said. If so, wouldn’t everyone in Yuzhou be in danger? This approach is absolutely undesirable.
"You only talk about bad ideas, so shut up. Come on, Yu Zhijing, tell me. I think you already have an idea." Shen Feng has lost patience with Feng Shicheng's bad ideas. Making money is indeed a problem. Make money, but if you really use these methods, then wait to be overthrown.
Yu Zhijing received Shen Feng's permission, nodded, and said directly: "City Lord, I think we can make money by selling land. I think this trick has been used by many people in history, and the effect is immediate!"
Shen Feng became interested as soon as he heard it and asked, "Tell me carefully what you said. I'll listen."
Yu Zhijing said seriously: "Do you know why our country's economy took off at the beginning of this century? Is it really the rapid growth of GDP? No, everything has to do with land! A piece of land originally has no value, but it is After the 70-year use right is sold, it will generate value. If it is speculated, the price will be astronomical. As for whether to build a community or a shopping mall on these lands, it does not matter. After the land is sold, you will make money. Money is included in GDP.”
"Shh, shut up you little brat. Is it okay to talk about this kind of thing? Be careful if someone opens the door to check the water meter!" When Feng Shicheng heard this, he immediately reminded Yu Zhijing not to talk nonsense. Originally, everyone Everyone knew this kind of thing tacitly. Now that Yu Zhijing has revealed it, how can he still deceive others in the future?
Yu Zhijing looked at Shen Feng and asked, "City Lord, can you tell me?"
"You continue, it's okay, I will protect you!" Shen Feng nodded and asked Yu Zhijing to continue. Anyway, as long as he is in Yuzhou, Shen Feng can ensure Yu Zhijing's safety. In this case, It is useless to be timid. This chapter has been completed!
