Su Yizhao's meaning is very clear. When the sea market first opened, there were dangers and opportunities. And at the beginning, it was bound to be huge profits, and the money earned was only a few dollars.
However, it is impossible for a country to keep such huge profits in its hands forever. In this way, the country will be rich, but the people will still not be rich.
"How sure are you that they will agree? Building a merchant ship is not a small sum."
Zhu Shangshu was already moved, but it was still difficult to actually implement it.
"Xiaoguan just said, it can't just be in this name."
Su Yizhao walked back and forth in the imperial study, "First of all, those who want to join the Chamber of Commerce have to pay membership fees. This is an income, although it is not a lot."
"The second is donation. Businessmen attach great importance to fame and profit, and they are scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but they have the lowest status. If you give them enough face, you don't have to give them many real benefits. If you just let them raise their heads and improve their status a little bit, they can still
Not happy? That’s a privilege! Everyone gets what they need.”
"If someone donates too much, some benefits can be given appropriately. For example, those who come first in the first or second batch will naturally be the first to profit."
"Another example is the quota allocated to them is larger, and the other example is those rich countries, and finally there is a tax proportion."
Su Yizhao cited examples one by one, then pondered for a moment, and then said: "Invite them together and do not operate secretly. Anyway, we must stimulate them as much as possible to donate more. This is better than borrowing money from the court."
Hearing this, the emperor and the two adults suddenly realized.
"The last step is to borrow money. No matter how much you borrow, you will have to return the interest later, or give up some benefits. I don't need to say more about this, right? I believe all of you are already familiar with it."
These three points proposed by Su Yizhao are enough to solve the initial investment.
In summary, if the sea market is to be opened, those merchants are crucial.
"This is truly taking from the people and using it for the people."
Su Yizhao's words were like thunder, and the emperor and the two adults were stunned for a moment before they came back to their senses.
The emperor touched his palms and exclaimed: "This is a wonderful plan!"
However, Su Yizhao knew that once this plan came out, the businessmen and officials who were working behind the scenes would hate her to the core.
Originally, you only had to do some research to get the chance, but now you need more money to get a quota for maritime trade.
However, this actually gives more businessmen opportunities. After all, not everyone can have a good relationship.
Those officials who wanted a piece of the pie could have benefited, but once this model was activated, not many people would follow their path.
Su Yizhao didn't want to offend everyone's interests, but the court was really in trouble. If she had to exploit the people in the end, how could she bear it?
"What a brilliant idea!" After a long while, Zhu Shangshu put his palms together and sighed.
He didn't expect that Su Yizhao could actually offer good advice. Looking at the still slightly immature boy in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Su Jinxun paid close attention to his precious grandson. After testing him last time, he was a little angry when Su Jinxun hinted at his rejection. Therefore, when he saw Su Yizhao today, he had some personal grudges.
Once again, I lament that Su Jinxun has given birth to a good grandson. Even if he is a concubine, with this ability, he will have a place in the court in the near future.
Li Shangshu now looks at Su Yizhao with admiration. In fact, he has heard of Su Yizhao's name a long time ago and knows that this guy is good at writing and has a flexible mind.
Regarding the opening of Haishi, the Wu Dynasty also mentioned this matter at that time, so it was not regarded as a precedent set by Su Yizhao.
Originally, I only thought that this boy was knowledgeable and intelligent, but I didn't expect that he actually had such a strategy. It was really amazing.
"In this case, the Ministry of Finance will implement it immediately."
The emperor turned around and patted the imperial case, "Zhu Aiqing, I'll give you half a month to raise some silver. I want to hear the good news, not that you keep silent about the lack of money."
"I obey the decree!" If there is a way, Zhu Shangshu will not delay it any longer. Who wants to cry about poverty every day? Isn't there no way?
The two adults took their leave together, but Su Yizhao looked at the two of them leaving and smiled slightly.
These two people were quite interesting. They came to the royal study to sing and they deliberately started to argue in front of the emperor, presumably to force the emperor to solve the problem for them.
Hearing a soft hum next to his ear, Su Yizhao immediately turned his gaze back and stared at the colors on the carpet on the ground.
"These two elders have been officials for twenty or thirty years. Don't I know them well? If I put these little thoughts on government affairs, I wouldn't have to work so hard."
The emperor sighed as he spoke, "It is what a minister should do to share my worries."
Su Yizhao's heart tightened, was he beating himself up?
I'm afraid she felt that she had some reservations about her previous plans, so she used these two elders to beat herself up.
Regarding the emperor's criticism, Su Yizhao just regarded it as ignorance. What is the first element of being an official? That is to have a thick skin.
"If it works this time, I will reward you well."
The emperor was very happy at this moment, "I remember that you are already fifteen this year, right? Have you not said goodbye yet?"
Su Yizhao suddenly felt horrified. Could this be a reward?
"Replying to the Emperor, we haven't announced our marriage yet. I just want to relieve the Emperor's worries and seek welfare for the people, and don't consider anything else. What's more, there are several brothers and sisters in the family who have not yet decided to get married, so it is not easy to go past them."
Su Yizhao felt like sweat was dripping from his forehead. If the emperor granted marriage, would he marry him or not?
To resist an edict is to be treasonous, but if you marry someone else’s girl, shouldn’t you be held responsible?
The emperor glanced at Su Yizhao, who was slightly nervous, and thought she was shy, so he couldn't help laughing.
"It's time for men to get married, and for women to get married. You! I think you haven't figured it out yet."
The emperor carefully reviewed all those girls from aristocratic families in his heart, but Su Yizhao was only a sixth-rank official now, and he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
"Xu Luo, show him the luminous pearl that the Western Kingdom paid tribute to before and the gadgets given to the little princess."
The emperor suddenly pointed at Su Yizhao and said.
Gadget? Su Yizhao was confused. What did it mean to play with it for her?
And isn’t the youngest princess only seven years old now? Is it appropriate for her to snatch a child’s toy?
Su Yizhao returned to the Hanlin Academy dumbfounded, ignoring the envious and jealous looks of his colleagues, and returned to his office.
When the crown prince saw Su Yizhao coming, he congratulated him again.
"Mr. Su, the Emperor really values you. He really envies us. I heard that Mr. Su has received another reward, but we can't keep up with him!"
"I'm just going to give a lecture. You guys also have this opportunity."
Su Yizhao said bluntly, "What should we do?" Talking too much will only increase the jealousy of others.
Lecture? There are so many rewards for preaching? The emperor just rewarded some treasures, and they all heard the news.
Xu Luo walked around the palace holding the reward, and stopped to chat with acquaintances along the way.
Just talking and walking to the Su Mansion, who doesn't know?
Su Yizhao touched his forehead, was it intentional? It spread so quickly.
