Chapter 779 Making Money (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Emperor Jinghe was very particular about his reputation.

    "The ministers are simply unkind and forcing themselves, so how can I give in?"

    Although he also knew that these people did not have any deep malice, he would never bear the blame.

    After thinking about it, he shook his head solemnly: "My ministers, what you said is wrong. At the beginning of the founding of Dakang, Taizu had a teaching that 'people cannot be established without faith'. This year, due to the invasion of foreign invaders, we originally planned to have  I applied for five thousand certificates, but many temples, nunneries, and Taoist temples enthusiastically purchased them, with a total of more than twelve thousand copies sold.

    Including the past few years, they have donated a total of nearly 30 million taels of silver to Dakang, which is comparable to the combined taxes on salt and porcelain every year. Do you still have the heart to let them bear the heavy burden again, killing the goose to obtain the eggs?  ?  "

    Emperor Jinghe said it sincerely.

    This is indeed what he had in mind.

    ??Apart from the concept of face, it¡¯s actually because people are more proactive and it¡¯s hard to take action.

    Hearing this, several big guys nodded slightly, agreeing more with the emperor's statement.

    Unexpectedly, Ge Songdao was determined. He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although I feel a little sorry for them, this matter must be done by them! First, no one is richer than monks, nuns and Taoists. They have countless good men and women every year.  To make offerings, and having nothing to spend money on, he is the best in the world in accumulating wealth.

    Second, monks, nuns and Taoist priests are the weakest. We have imposed heavy taxes on them and they have no strength to resist.  If equal taxes are imposed on common people, businessmen, and landlords and gentry, what will be the consequences?  Unthinkable!  But monks, nuns and Taoist priests have no problem at all!

    Third point, after collecting their ultimatum money, they dare not say that they are not willing, otherwise they have no good intentions and the common people will spurn them!  At that time, we can also give them some honors, such as inscriptions, seals, etc., and they will not suffer any loss!  "

    Emperor Jing He, who had been in tragedy just now, was rendered speechless by Ge Songdao's shameless words.

    Cao Yi also glanced at Ge Songdao without leaving any trace.

    This Ge Songdao is really amazing!

    He knows better than Miao Yan, and he is better at inspiring people than Miao Yan, and he is also more sinister.

    If Liu Renhuai had not been blocking the way for such a person, and he had become prime minister, the court would have changed drastically.

    Cao Yi herself is not worried.

    At his age, his son also made a big mistake - well, he was caught by Miao Yan, so he only became the prime minister in two or three years.

    Once things were straightened out and Liu Renhuai had stabilized people's hearts in Jiangnan, he had to take up his official position and return to his hometown before entering Beijing.

    ¡°But that¡¯s not bad.

    It can be regarded as a complete retirement. Although the family's wealth has been reduced by more than half, it is still a big landowner's family, which is enough for future generations.

    The key is that the reputation given to yourself in the history books is relatively good.

    Briquettes, sweet potatoes, and now cement concreteetc., no matter who made these, but they have been promoted to the world, but in their own hands, no one can erase this contribution.

    As he was thinking, there were many people around him who rebelled repeatedly.

    Feng Yuqiang, the academician of the Hanlin Academy who had praised the emperor just now, said: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Ge said is true! At this juncture, we can't stir up conflicts, so we just point at the soft persimmon and use the monks, nuns and Taoist priests to operate.  !¡±

    Ma Haoqiu continued: "Well, we are not greedy. In the next three years, let them buy more ultimatums worth 30 million taels of silver every year! There are thousands of Taoist temples all over the country, and this little money should be enough  take it out!"

    "Alas, there is no other way!" Zhong Chang continued, "After passing this level, let's see how we can compensate them!"

    ? Okay!

    Rebellious again!

    The emperor looked at Nangong Ji, hoping that he would say a few words, but the old guy didn't look at the emperor at all, and just stared at the ground.

    "In that case"

    There was no other way, so the emperor had no choice but to say, "All the ministers, please come up with one"

    While he was talking here, he heard a soft call from outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent memorial from Wenyuan Pavilion!"

    An urgent memorial?

    Emperor Jinghe¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he quickly stopped and motioned to Zhao Shou to get it.

    Zhao Shou took it over. Emperor Jinghe held his breath and opened it, but he was immediately stunned.

    Then wait for him to raise his head?.

    The monk¡¯s plan of 100 million taels of silver came to nothing, and he could only earn an additional 30 million taels in three years at most.

    ???????? Then there can be no compromise at all on the clan¡¯s favor order.

    ¡°After all, this is the business of the royal family, and the people outside will not feel that they are being forced to donate money.

    Even if it¡¯s forced, it¡¯s not a big scare.

    The people of the world have supported the clan¡¯s children for more than eighty years. Could it be that they can no longer survive if they give back once, or even several times?

    That¡¯s too pretentious, right?  !

    Of course, they are not without strategies.

    The first person chosen by the chief to "operate" is the sage Prince Yu, who is always easy to talk and knows how to think about the world!

    With Prince Yu¡¯s compassion, even if it is difficult to come up with ten million taels of silver, he will still find a way to support it.

    ??This is something that even a cold-blooded person like Ge Songdao would not doubt.

    And with Crown Prince Yu taking the lead, the descendants of the clan will also have a good driving role in spending money, and their income will naturally increase much more than expected!
