Chapter 185

Qin Murong blinked blankly and said with a smile: "how many? It seems that our officials in Daliang still like to help foreign businessmen. "

Your Majesty was stunned and asked, "what do you mean?"

Qin Murong arched his hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I won't read these memorials. Among them, the words are gorgeous and elegant. I really can't understand them. You know, I'm young and ridiculous, and I've delayed my studies."

"Cut the crap and speak quickly!"

"When Wei Chen came back from the East, merchants from all sides naturally looked at the wind and wanted to come to Daliang to make a big profit. Weichen had seen a businessman selling foreign treasures before. At that time, Weichen went to ask him, what is the price of this treasure in foreign countries? What's the price in Daliang city? When he just chatted, he didn't tell the truth, but after a few drinks, he said everything

Qin Murong said with a smile: "it takes half a year for foreign goods to go this way. If they don't make ten times profits, they will lose money. That is to say, one or two silver items must be sold for ten Liang silver when they come to us!"

"This So high? "

Your Majesty was shocked.

Ten times the profit. There is no such high profit in Daliang.

Qin Murong continued: "it's still the foundation. Businessmen will pay ten times the price when they go to other places. But when they go to Daliang, because Daliang is rich and prosperous, they will directly triple the price."

"30 times profit?"

"Yes, no matter how poor he pretends to be or how pitiful he cries, the foreign businessman who comes here to sell things needs to sell for 30 times the price!"

"This Isn't that too much deception? "

Qin Murong sighed and said: "in fact, it's very easy to understand the ten times profit. After all, their caravan's annual income from Chengdu comes from a batch of goods, and they are foreign goods. They occupy the natural conditions that the goods are rare. With manpower and material resources, plus time, the ten times price is understandable, but it's a little wrong to increase it by three times. What's more, because We are really rich in Daliang. They sell goods at 30 times the price very well! So for these foreign businessmen, I said, "isn't that still very expensive?"

"Expensive It doesn't matter. What your majesty wants to do is to turn such a bad thing into a good one. "

"How can we turn bad things into good things?"

Qin Murong, with a smile, said: "in fact, it's quite simple, that is, to collect taxes, to collect heavy taxes. For example, when selling, your majesty is managed by a special person to collect taxes on their four transactions."

"Ah?"

His Majesty was stunned and said, "so Is it the same as turning them out? "

"Your Majesty, don't forget that they make 20 to 30 times of their profits. Even if they pay 40% of the tax, they also earn some. Since they earn some, how can they not come? And this tax, they can raise the price on the people

"Isn't that a pit for the people?"

Qin Murong said with a smile: "what can be bought can be bought after all. What can't be bought, even if it's cheap, will not be bought. And those rich people don't spend their money, which is actually a bad thing for Daliang. If they spend it in other ways, it won't do much good for Daliang. It's not as good as Pay attention to taxes

"This Didn't they make more money from us? "

Qin Murong said with a smile: "in fact, it won't, because your majesty will also collect a tax. When these foreign businessmen leave, they will also buy the special products of Daliang. They can't go back empty handed. At that time, plus 40% of the tax, the tax will be borne by the foreign buyers. Therefore, these foreign businessmen themselves have no losses. It is the common people of both sides who have losses, but these losses all run into your Majesty's Treasury, and this is the reason Some money can naturally be used to build beams. In this way, the National Treasury will be full, the common people will be OK, and the rich people will be OK. They just spend more and spend less. They will not care. Instead, the whole world's currency will flow. No one will be harmed at that time, but there are many good things. "

Your majesty frowned and turned his mind several times before he realized what was going on.

"However, in fact, Daliang is still suffering some losses. Those businessmen take away the price of the goods they sell and hand in the price of the goods they buy. The price difference is at least ten times. In this way, doesn't it mean that those small countries will become richer?"

Qin Murong said with admiration: "Your Majesty is not a businessman, so he can think so thoroughly about this matter. It's really admirable!"

"Well, don't flatter me. You must still have calculation, right?"

Qin Murong nodded and said, "it's true. In fact, your majesty doesn't have to worry about this. The surplus money is actually on the businessmen. Although it will make those small countries rich, what can you do? They will use the money to put into production, and the merchants who have gained most of the profits will expand the scale of the caravan, thereby reducing the transportation cost. At that time, more and cheaper goods will flow into Daliang. In this way, Daliang will become more and more prosperous Your majesty, wealth, in the final analysis, is not money, but goodsHis majesty thought for a moment, nodded and said, "it's also true that the prosperity of the country depends on people, goods, money and so on. It's just a means of communicating with the outside world."

Qin Murong nodded and said, "if your majesty can know this, he is really the best son in heaven. If he does, he will get through."

"Well, don't flatter me. Didn't you go to see the roads in Northern Xinjiang? What's going on there? "

Qin Murong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, haven't you taken a hot air balloon these days? You should be able to see it. "

"I can see a place that is too far away. I can't see it. I'm not a thousand li eye."

"Thousand mile eye?"

In a word, Qin Murong was stunned.

Then he patted his thigh hard and said, "how can I forget this?"

"What's the matter? What do you think of again? "

Qin Murong said quickly: "that Your majesty, is the set of tools that Weichen gave to the queen still there at this time? "

Your Majesty was stunned, and then said, "you've sent it out. Why? Want to come back again? I'm afraid it's impossible. Even if I go to say it, it doesn't seem to work. The day after you left, no, it should be the third day. There were a total of 178 people in the Liu's family, who had been wandering around the thing for a whole day, drawing pictures and copying. They were very busy. One of them, an old boss, was almost bigger than me. As a result, he kept crying with the object I'm afraid I'm going to eat that! Do you think you can get it back? "

Qin Murong quickly said: "I don't want to come back, I don't want to use it."

"Why use it?"

"This Your majesty just said that if you want to see a thousand li, I think it's feasible! "

"What works? Is Qianliyan feasible

Qin Murong said with a smile, "Weichen It seems that 60% of them are sure that they can give your Majesty the ability to see thousands of miles! "

Your Majesty was still joking. When he said this, he suddenly stood up from his seat and said excitedly, "are you serious?"

Qin Murong said bitterly: "but I have to borrow that set of things. In fact, Weichen only made one set. Besides, he gave the business to the Liu family, and Weichen didn't let people continue to do it, so..."

"Yes! I'll do it for you! "

Your majesty is also an acute person. He once again left Qin Murong in the study and ran out of the study. Obviously, he went to find the queen.

Qin Murong looks at his Majesty's back in a daze, and the scene of the ox demon king borrowing the banana fan suddenly appears in his mind.

The eunuch shook his head and said, "this time, I'm very surprised Is there anything you want to tell me quietly, chief manager

The eunuch shrugged his shoulders and said, "don't say, there's really one."

"Ah? What else

"Concubine Liu wants to see you and express her gratitude to you."

"Ah? Can there be any secrets about this palace? "

The eunuch said with a bitter smile, "secret? It seems a bit difficult. "

Qin Murong quickly said: "don't, this matter is paralyzed. I can't see it! She is a favorite concubine in the palace. I'm a foreign minister in the frontier. I met privately What's going on? I didn't eat mutton before that, which has the reason to rely on myself? Please take it as if you forgot. I don't know. Everyone is happy. "

The eunuch said, "you also said that she was favored. If you can't see her, you can't see her. Do you think it can work?"

"I think it's reliable! You can't take the hand that feeds you? "

"This is also..."

The eunuch thought about it for a moment, then suddenly bent down and whispered to Qin Murong, "in fact, the fact that concubine Liu was locked up by the queen is something that some of the eunuchs chewed their tongue. It seems that concubine Liu is divulging information to some people and sending out everything in the palace, especially your pillow talk You also know that your majesty likes to talk about state affairs with people close to him, which naturally includes many secrets that can't be known to outsiders. "

"I don't know!"

Qin Murong quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know anything. Don't tell me anything like this. I don't want to know!"

The eunuch thought for a moment and said, "but it's said that most of the messages sent by concubine Liu are about the childe."

Qin Murong's eyes twitched violently. Then he stepped back slowly with a bitter smile and said, "this kind of thing It's not something that a few eunuchs can say. Chief executive, you're not going to pit me, are you

The eunuch was stunned for a moment. Then he shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "you are a smart and smooth boy. You are not ambiguous about the affairs of the country. You are also proficient in this small way. I don't know who taught you such a guy, or was it born for you? Concubine Liu is really afraid. After this incident, Her Majesty's visit to her has obviously decreased. Although she was released from the cold palace, she was obviously left out. It's impossible for her to be favored in the future. On the one hand, she knows that she is tight lipped, and on the other hand, she knows that she is close to you Relationship. The reason why I want to see you is that I want to leave a way for myself. "Qin Murong rolled his eyes and said, "stay in the back? It's not my turn. "

"Now concubine Liu can't refer to the Liu family. When she did this, she meant to put her family in danger. If she wanted her to die, she was afraid that it was the Liu family. Now she trusts a Viscount who she has never seen before

"Yes, she knows we've never met before?"

Qin Murong was sarcastic.

The eunuch sighed and said, "yes, I haven't seen him once, but I've given up my huge interests to save him. If someone does this to the zajia, the zajia should believe him."

Qin Murong was stunned for a moment. Then he felt his chin and thought about it carefully. Then he shook his head and said, "in this world, the only one who can become her retreat is your majesty. She has been wrong all the time. I hope she won't be wrong any more, but Ah, it's hard for everyone to say. She has to bear the things she doesn't say to her majesty. Even if she is put in the cold palace, she doesn't dare to say anything. I'm afraid as long as she says it, it will become more serious. It's even more serious than the things like going out of favor and going into the cold palace What else in the world can make your majesty ignore her feelings and make her believe that your majesty will take her life? Hehe, do you think I can get involved in this kind of thing? You think I'm stupid! "

The eunuch was also surprised.

"Sir, miscellaneous I don't think so much... "

Qin Murong sighed and said, "if that woman wants to act, let her act better all the time. She doesn't understand why I saved her. Don't you understand? Beautiful woman, thorny rose, hehe, manager, if you have more management, be careful to throw your life in! "

The eunuch was stunned for a long time, and then carefully asked, "do you want to tell your majesty about this?"

Qin Murong said, "what do you think your Majesty's mood will be after knowing this?"

"Nature It won't be very good. "

"Then why

"This..."

Qin Murong said in a soft voice: "heaven and earth are bigger than your Majesty's health. This is the root of the king of a country and our duty as ministers. Although I don't know about the harem, which woman in the harem is not acting? Let them play it well. If it's true, you'll have to play it again. "
