Chapter 112

This sentence, let Qiu Changming's eyes immediately stare up.

His majesty didn't expect that Qin Murong suddenly became so impolite. He quickly said, "Viscount Qin, this is on the court. How can you question my minister?"

Qin Murong said boldly: "thank you, your majesty. In the past two years, natural disasters have not been reduced in all places, and man-made disasters have not been reduced because of the disturbance caused by Mingyue sect. Our troops in Daliang are all farm labourers. There are many wars in the north and more troops in the East, West and south. As a result, there are not enough men in Daliang. More than a year ago, Lord Cui was worried about the lack of labor and the lack of farmland. Over the past year or so, the situation has not improved much. On the contrary, it has become more and more serious because of the problems in Northern Xinjiang. It can be seen that there are few people and little food. But Lord Qiu said that there were fewer natural disasters and fewer man-made disasters, that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and that they were diligent in farming Hehe, it's shameless to put gold on one's face when it's small. But when it's big, it's the crime of deceiving you, your majesty! Wei Chen called him shameless, but he was saving him. "

His Majesty's eyes twitched twice. He was so angry that he wanted to jump down from above. He kicked Qin Murong back to his own yard with a flying foot.

But on second thought, it seems that this is the same truth. What Qin Murong said is not wrong.

Then he asked curiously, "in the opinion of viscount Qin, where does the 30% extra tax come from?"

Qin Murong, with a smile, turned his head and looked at the civil and military officials. Then he patted him on his cheek and said, "this is my duty. I need to stick gold on my face!"

"What does Viscount Qin mean?"

Qin Murong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the extra 30% of the tax revenue is due to the contribution of my humble ministers!"

"Ah?"

Your Majesty was stunned, and all the civil and military officials were stunned.

I've seen shameless people, but it's shameless, and I praise myself in front of your majesty. It's really have never even heard of it!

His Majesty was so angry that he said, "how did you increase the tax revenue of Daliang by 30%

This time, even the title of "Viscount Qin" has been omitted, and "you" has been said directly.

Qin Murong Lang said: "to your majesty, first of all, it's Weichen's Qin shop. Everyone in the Qin shop may have heard that Weichen makes money, but they don't know that Weichen doesn't just make money! Because of the Qin shop, the price of soybean has increased more than three times compared with two years ago! Naturally, soybean farmers get enough benefits, which can be regarded as food and clothing, and tax payment will naturally increase a lot. On the one hand, all walks of life that Weichen was involved in were affected by the shortage of Weichen's goods, and the cost of raw materials was increased. The so-called value for money, people have jobs, businesses have a basis, and money circulates. In addition, Weichen's Qin family caravan traveled all the way around the world, and I don't know how much money they brought back from the Southern Jin Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. "

He looked around and continued: "the money has moved, the goods have moved, every transaction will have to pay tax, one come and two go, the overall tax will naturally increase! So it's true that Wei Chen said that the 30% tax revenue is the credit of Wei Chen. "

Your Majesty was stunned for a moment.

As for business affairs, he must not be as proficient as Qin Murong, and some of them can't turn the corner.

He asked, "cost, labor, businessman What I see is consumption and price increase, but the quantity of things has not changed and the money has not changed. Is this rash increase disturbing the world? Besides, where did the extra money come from? "

Qin Murong said: "first, it comes from circulation. Your majesty, do you know how rich these big clans are? But their wealth is based on Tibetan Silver! How much real gold and silver is buried underground, hidden in the cupboard and pressed under the pillow? If the gold is not exchanged for the corresponding goods, then the gold is just a better looking thing than the stone. It is worthless! The so-called Wei Chen's goods are expensive. When they come to buy them, they spend the money. When the caravans traveled from south to north, they let the money circulate. Naturally, the amount of money circulating in the whole world will increase. Naturally, the amount of money circulating will increase, and so will the tax revenue. As for the second point, your majesty, you should take the advice of Weichen and step up your efforts to cast money into the world! Does your majesty think that the money cast has any influence on the people in the world? With more money and less goods, things should have become more and more worthless, but this is not the case. The issuance of silver money has no influence on the world and does no harm to the people. Why? Just because today's world has absorbed all that money. And this Thanks to the caravan and the goods, naturally Thanks to Wei Chen

His majesty thought for a long time, but he didn't understand. He could only say, "I'm not ashamed. Is it all your credit? A full 30% of the tax revenue is achieved by you alone? Too arrogant

Qin Murong did not flinch at all, and said: "Weichen is to change the business trend with his own efforts. As a Qinjia village, the production capacity of its main commodities has already ranked first in the country! Even more arrogant, your majesty, your daily consumption of food and drink has already been infiltrated into all aspects of your life

His Majesty was stunned. He knew that Qin Murong was never aimless and could not speak freely. There must be some basis for his saying that, but He really doesn't believe it!So I took a look at Qi Wanshi, who was not talking all the time.

Prime minister, if you don't speak at this time, you will be too low-key.

Qi Wanshi stood up, bowed his hand to his majesty and questioned Qin Murong: "Prince Qin said It's a little abrupt. What's the evidence for that? "

Qin Murong looked down and said, "Lord Qi, there should be a small piece of cloth in your official boots. There is a small totem on it. If you look carefully, you can see that it is a deformed Qin character."

Qi Wanshi was stunned and looked down at his shoes.

His Majesty was also curious and said, "Qi Aiqing can take off her boots."

It's rude to put slippers on the court.

However, Qi Wanshi was curious. He took off his boots and turned them over. He found a very thin piece of cloth in the corner. When he spread it out, he found that there was a small sign with the word "Qin" on it.

Qi Wanshi was surprised and asked, "why, viscount Qin?"

Shoes come from Jiufang. Before the first half of the year, many people in the village of Qin had to wear shoes! Of course, the workmanship of your Majesty's shoes is complicated, and it takes five skilled female workers half a month to sew them. The fabrics are all made of six flowers and three birds. They are warm, breathable, soft and fit, but they are not tight. The carved embroidery on the top is excellent. There are two layers of soft cloth inside, and none of them will feel stiff. The bottom is made of tanned leather and sewed with cloth. One layer needs thousands of stitches, Total nine layers, plus thousands of stitches on the sole, on the one hand anti-skid, on the other hand make up tens of thousands. After all, your majesty has been sitting for a long time. Your shoes need to be warm and soft. "

Qin Murong said that his majesty wanted to take off his shoes.

How can you be so particular about your shoes?

But it's true that these shoes are more comfortable than they used to be recently. It's just that other people are busy and never care about them.

He took off his shoes on the spot, so he turned to the eunuch.

The eunuch whispered awkwardly, "Your Majesty, your shoes It's really from Qinjia village. The boy sent someone to send it. "

His majesty asked, "is it true that he said that the whole city of Daliang is wearing the shoes of his Qinjia village?"

The eunuch said, "there is no evidence, but I'm afraid it's not just the city of Daliang. "

His majesty took a deep breath and looked at Qin Murong.

He has a high opinion of Qin Murong.

But I didn't expect that I looked down on him!

Qin Murong curled his lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, as Weichen said, the 30% tax revenue is due to Weichen. Do you believe it?"

Your majesty nodded and said, "well, even if I believe you once, what does it mean? What exactly does Viscount Qin want to say? "

Qin Murong said with a smile: "in fact, Wei Chen just wants to clarify a truth with his majesty. Thirty years is too long. Wei Chen can seize the day and two years can increase the overall tax revenue of the state of Liang by 30%! Weichen is a genius. He is confident in this point, but he is not the only genius in the world. He is conscious of this point. In two years, the state of Daliang developed like this because of one genius. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, because of one genius, it changed every day in less than ten years. What about the Southern Jin Dynasty? What about the east? What about the Northern Qi Dynasty? Does your majesty think that there is no genius in the Northern Qi Dynasty? Or how many? I don't know how many geniuses in the Great Northern Qi Dynasty. After 30 years of work How can the Northern Qi Dynasty still look like it was 30 years ago? "

"This..."

Your Majesty was stunned.

Qin Murong continued: "if you see this old opponent with an old eye, I'm afraid Your majesty, there is only one word to be recognized in the world, that is "change", thinking about the change of yourself and the change of the enemy. Can Daliang really keep up with the Northern Qi Dynasty? Even if it is consumed, can it really recover the lost land so easily? Your majesty, every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, every inch of the big king's flag! If the territory really changes, even if the fault is not his Majesty's fault, but in the history, I'm afraid it is I still want to leave your Majesty's name

His Majesty's eyes twitched violently, and his eyes swept over the faces of the ministers. He asked in a loud voice, "Dear Aiqing, who knows the amount of grain, taxes, people, salt and iron in recent years of the Northern Qi Dynasty?"

All these problems are related to their national strength.

But

Man Dynasty Civil and military all lowered their heads.

Obviously, I really don't know!

Your Majesty's heart cannot help sinking.

After a while, he relaxed and said to Qin Murong, "how do you think you should deal with it, according to Viscount Qin?"

Qin Murong said, "if you don't break the law when you are strong outside, you will get through the business road, lead the aristocratic families, spread money, and keep it stable for the sake of profit, so that you can't move it, but you can't move it if you want to. If foreign enemies invade He will kill thousands of miles away, enslave his people and hang up his monarch! "

"This..."

His majesty twitched his eyes and said awkwardly, "these words seem heroic, but it's not easy to do them."At this time, finally a minister is willing to share his worries for his majesty.

A general came out and said to Qin Murong, "Viscount Qin, the situation in Northern Xinjiang It's more complicated than you might think. The army of the Northern Qi Dynasty is excellent. Although it lacks iron weapons, the Northern Qi army is the most famous in the world! Most of the northern territory is dominated by vast plains. Except for the resistance of two mountains, there is a tendency of a smooth river! Therefore, we can only stop them. If they are allowed to cross the boundary of the mountains and have tens of thousands of troops hedge against each other, then no army in the world is a triple force. A single charge can disrupt the formation, a second charge can enter into the armies, and a third charge is the time to kill. Although Daliang relies on the benefits of refined iron, with few horses, even if it costs the whole country, it can only gather 30000 cavalry, and most of them are under the command of Dazhu state, so If you want to kill a thousand li from afar, you can only talk about it. If you really want to do it, it's too difficult. Let's ask Viscount Qin to make a clear observation. "

Qin Murong touched his chin. Recently, he began to grow a beard on his chin. It's a little fluffy. It feels good, but it's too loose. Xiaobai shaved him before. It's called a Stiff! Qin Murong is a little scared of shaving. He is waiting for a razor from qinjiacun.

However, his sparse beard made him look mature.

Qin Murong nodded: "it really seems a little difficult."

The general said with a bitter face: "it's more than a little difficult? This man Dynasty military general is not a useless person, but the strength is really poor there. "

Qin Murong thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Weichen always has a theory that the living habits and military characteristics of a country will determine its territory. There are many horses in the Northern Qi Dynasty and many plains in the north. In this way, most areas in the north of Daliang should belong to the Northern Qi Dynasty in natural form, but now they are owned by our country Well, I don't know much about it. Do you dare to ask us whether the northern territory of Daliang was once captured from the Northern Qi Dynasty? "

Your Majesty was stunned for a moment. This is not a problem that can embarrass him.

The key is Qin Murong's previous "theory" made his majesty fall into thinking.

Isn't that what's going on?!

Although it is a little one-sided, but this truth is a bit enlightening to your majesty. Many things that you can't understand are understood at once!

In fact, this is a way of thinking.

People in this world tend to like the theory of result, while Qin Murong's previous life emphasized the theory of cause and effect. Every seemingly strange or irrelevant thing, in fact, always has its core causes!

The general said: "it's just like this, viscount Qin. More than 100 years ago, Emperor Wu of Daliang opened up the territory and expanded the territory. He chased the Northern Qi Dynasty for 300 Li and included the huge map of Northern Xinjiang in Daliang. It's really a great achievement!"

Qin Murong nodded and said, "that's a great achievement, but Is that really good? "

"What do you mean?"

"It's meaningless, that is to say One hundred years ago, Emperor Wu opened up the territory for the state of Daliang, but now his majesty may lose the territory because of the northern Xinjiang. In this way, don't you mean that his majesty can't catch up with the former Emperor Wu? "

"You! I... "

The military officer suddenly went crazy and said, "I don't mean it, your majesty. I really don't mean it!"

Qin Murong said, "yes, what you said seems to have no such meaning, but you must think so in your heart."

"I didn't! I really didn't! I really don't have any! "

His head kept turning between Qin Murong and his majesty, obviously scared.

Your majesty sighed and said, "don't panic. Viscount Qin is teasing you. I'm very glad that you have a good understanding of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Well, go back. "

The military officer then hurried back to his position. Some of them did not dare to see Qin Murong.

This guy can't afford to play!

If you feel a little upset, you try to make the other person die. Who can bear it?

The key is that Qin Murong is always upright, and he is not afraid to offend others, which makes people helpless to him.

Qin Murong took a deep breath, bowed his hand to his majesty, and then said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, we still need to fight. If we really hold a stalemate for too long, whether it's West, east or south, I'm afraid we can't stop."

Your majesty nodded and said impatiently, "well, I know what Viscount Qin means. Now Let me think about it

Qin Murong had no choice but to go back. Just before going back, he could not help saying, "if your majesty feels that there is no one available, I would like to go."

Then he went back to the line and let his majesty be stunned for a long time.

Some officials can't help laughing.

A military officer, a doctor?

If we don't say that we are not qualified in the official system, even if we are qualified, isn't that a free gift?

When you really get to the battlefield, you'll make a joke for Beiqi.

But some officials have not.

They couldn't help thinking of Qin Murong's commanding 200 soldiers to fight against the thieves in the chaos of Daliang city.The 200 soldiers' armour is enough to make civil servants fear and military officers crazy.

Is that a soldier?

No!

That's a weapon!

The emotionless killing machine must be the most powerful existence in the war!

Some generals even have a false impression in their mind about how many troops and what kind of troops they need in order to cause actual damage to these 200 people and defeat them thoroughly.

As a result, the only thing we can think of is to take advantage of the number of people to annihilate them. If the number of people is insufficient, we can only trap one side and kill 200 people.

But

How can 200 people die?

The vast territory of the world is boundless.

But every piece of land, no matter how desolate it is, will have villages.

One village is enough for these 200 people to recuperate.

You can't die.

I can't.

The only good thing is that I can barely catch up.

If you can't even catch up, it's not that 200 people are consumed to death, but a city is consumed to death!

When some generals think of this, they will be scared out in a cold sweat.
