Chapter six hundred and sixty-ninth quick to make and to make
Next to him, Dong Cheng said with a smile:
"Here comes the money. You are also used to visiting romantic places. How could you not know the profit of this restaurant? You don't need to give detailed figures, just say how much more it is than Qian Shangshu."
Qian Lai did not dare to speak and looked at his master.
At this time, how could Qian Qianyi not understand? He could only look at Qian Lai with a dark face and said angrily:
"Shilang Dong asked, tell the truth, sir, can I still kill you?"
Qian Lai had a bitter look on his face and said helplessly:
"Let's face it, he doesn't have much more. Master, if you include winter supplements and summer supplements, it will only be a few dozen less."
Qian Qianyi almost pulled off his beard and took a breath of air. Qian Qianyi said to Su Lu with a dark face:
"Your Majesty, my salary is already extremely high. I can support my family, servants, carriages, horses, food and clothing. I didn't expect this small restaurant to be so profitable."
Su Lu nodded and said to Qian Qianyi:
"The taxation of merchants must be implemented as soon as possible. In order to raise money for shipbuilding, Li Kun and Wang Si engaged in many business affairs. Although they made a lot of money, compared with the money earned by merchants, it was just a drop in the bucket.
.”
Qian Qianyi pinched his beard and said angrily:
"If you impose heavy taxes, you must impose heavy taxes. If everyone can make such a large sum of money, everyone in the world will be a merchant."
The three of them had dinner and discussed for a while, and decided that Qian Qianyi would propose tomorrow to establish a new taxation office to determine taxes and increase the court's revenue.
On the second day, Qian Qianyi's new proposal immediately caused huge waves in the court.
The sound of crusade is endless, why should we not strive for the interests of the people, the country should not pay too much attention to money, and heavy taxes will not be collected by wise kings. All the words are words of advice.
Li Qing returned to the harem angrily and told Su Lu what had happened.
Su Lu put down the brush in his hand and asked Li Qing:
"Have you remembered those officials who said that the country cannot compete with the people for profit and cannot impose heavy taxes?"
Li Qing was a little strange:
"Remember them for what they are doing? These are rotten scholars. When did I compete with the people for profit? Qian Qianyi just suggested it, just like digging their ancestral graves."
Su Lu took the booklet he had written, looked at it carefully, and said casually:
"Either dismiss them from their posts or investigate them, and a lot of dirty money will definitely be found."
"It's definitely no problem to build a few big ships. Maybe there's enough money for a fleet."
Li Qing was dubious:
"How is it possible? Although their official positions are not small, living in the capital is not easy. How much money can they save?"
Su Lu handed the booklet in his hand to Li Qing:
"You just go and ransack the houses, behead them all, and make sure no one is wronged."
Li Qing was a little stunned for a moment. She wanted to believe Su Lu, but those who advised her had high official positions. If they were all corrupt officials, she had been diligent in government affairs in the past, so it would have no effect at all.
"Is this a tax collection office?"
Li Qing glanced at the booklet in his hand and asked Su Lu in surprise. The courtiers didn't agree. Even if it was written well, what could it do?
"I'm afraid this won't be implemented."
Li Qing took the brochure and felt a little regretful. When Qian Qianyi proposed taxation, she thought she had found a new way to increase taxation. Unexpectedly, this was not the case at all. The opposition of the ministers made the proposal disappear before it was even discussed.
Ruined.
Su Lu waved his hand:
"Who said that you were asked to implement it in the court, but the court officials blocked it? Then don't implement it in the court first, and transfer capable personnel from the imperial guards and imperial guards to form a new guard army to be responsible for the regulations of tax collection across the country.
Chen Hezhi."
"If the national treasury does not want this money, then the inner treasury will happily accept it. As for the people who collect taxes, they are naturally your majesty's direct personnel. They will send loyal officials to create new revenue for the country."
Li Qing smiled with both eyebrows and eyebrows. It seemed pretty good to say so.
Su Ge quickly walked into the palace, saluted the two of them and said:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the envoys and envoys from the Mali people have arrived."
Li Qing looked up at Su Ge, corrected her and said:
"The envoy from Mali has arrived?"
Su Ge said respectfully:
"Yes, Your Majesty, the envoys and envoys from the Mali people have arrived."
Su Lu waved his hand, signaling Su Ge to bring the people in, and then explained to Li Qing:
"It should be the envoy from the southern part of the Mali people who came together with the envoy from the northern part of the Mali people. Although both the north and the south are Mali, they are not envoys from the same family."
Not long after, two agile envoys entered the palace.
"Foreign Minister Sarentes has met Her Majesty the Queen and His Majesty the Prince."
"Nelson, the foreign minister, has met Her Majesty the Queen and met the Prince."
Li Qing waved his hand to signal the two of them to excuse themselves, and asked Shantes what he said:
"General Schaentes, are you here on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor?"
According to the intelligence from the Dingxiang Guards, Mali has been completely divided. The south has appointed the younger brother of the former emperor as emperor, while the north still maintains the original court. However, now that it is being beaten and retreating, the orthodoxy is about to become unorthodox.
Shantes heard this and glared angrily at Nelson next to him, speaking impulsively:
"The foreign minister represents His Majesty the Great Emperor. Although this person came with me, he is just a rebellious minister. Your Majesty does not need to pay attention to him."
Nelson snorted coldly, but this was the palace of the Han Dynasty, and he did not dare to use force. He just said:
"We are not here to fight, we are all here for those prisoners. Let's use all our abilities. It will be useless if we don't talk about these idle words."
Shantes turned to Li Qing, suppressed the anger in his voice, and said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, my sergeant, Mili, fell into the hands of your army. There are 46,000 people. According to your wishes, your Majesty, each person is worth one hundred taels of silver. The foreign minister has brought three million taels this time and wants to redeem them.
Thirty thousand people, please give me your permission."
Nelson's voice jumped in quickly:
"Your Highness, the foreign minister also brought a lot of silver this time. Although it is not three million, it is enough to redeem a small number of sergeants. The foreign minister is willing to pay two hundred taels per person this time in exchange for only the elite of the captured sergeants.
.”
Next to him, Li Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this. The price of one hundred taels was already high enough. This Nelson offered to increase the price. It seemed that the quick man had a lot of money.
Su Lu waved his hand:
"Substitution is possible, but the one with the highest price will be chosen first. Let General Nelson choose first this time."
Su Lu said with a smile, you can choose as many as you can and take away as much as you have money.
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
Nelson said excitedly, as expected, money is everything. Shantes is a poor man, and the money he brings is limited. He will definitely not be willing to increase the price. Those elites will immediately become his family.
"I don't agree, I will raise the price."
Shane's face was red and his voice was excited.
Now that the two countries are hostile, if these prisoners cannot be taken away by me, they will fall into the hands of the southern rebels. When the time comes, I will defeat the enemy and I will have no way to explain to His Majesty. I am afraid that I will not be able to take back the money.
