Yan Song briefly reviewed history and then said,""With the prosperity of commerce and trade, the number of registered permanent residence in the capital increased. A large number of merchants began to gather in the outer city. They built warehouses and opened stores, and their business grew. The prosperity outside the south city even surpassed that of the inner city.”
Yan Song raised his voice by an octave and said,""However, the land in the outer city is still unclaimed land. In theory, this land belongs to His Majesty!”
His Majesty…everything!
Jiajing was stunned and his head was dizzy.
That's right, because there had always been disputes over the construction of the outer city, the ownership of the land in the outer city had not been determined. In principle, it belonged to Emperor Jiajing.
"That's right, the land is mine! It's mine!"
At this moment, Jiajing seemed to have lost his mind.
" But…but…" Suddenly, Jiajing was dumbfounded. The land was his, and then…and then? How do I get silver? Should he send the East and West Chambers to clean them up? Grab money from every household?
When Jiajing thought of this plan, he shook his head. He reckoned that before he started, countless memorials would fly over from all the officials, and then the world would spread that he was poor and crazy.
"Minister Yan, what should we do?"
At this moment, Jiajing looked at Yan Song with pleading eyes like a child.
"Your Majesty, I already have a plan."”
"Hurry up and say it!"
"This humble subject believes that the outer city should be built into a new city!”
When Jiajing heard this, he was not too happy. Building a new city? Doesn't this mean that I have to pay? I still want money.
Yan Song naturally knew what Jiajing was thinking and dispelled his doubts."Your Majesty, we don't need to pay for this. This humble subject thinks that after the new city is built, the commoners will definitely move in, right? Shops had to be moved in too, right? These people had to pay to move into the new city, right?”
"Eh, that's really the case!”
Yan Song continued," Let's calculate the population. There are at least 300,000 to 400,000 people in the outer city, which is a total of 50,000 to 60,000 families. Moreover, with such a large population, it can accommodate several thousand shops. In total, we have an income of at least one to two million.”
Jiajing was so excited that he was trembling.
Suddenly, Jiajing felt that it was so easy to make money, and it was not even 'fighting for profit with the people'. If any official wanted to impeach him and say that this was fighting for profit with the people, Jiajing guaranteed that he would let him know what an imperial prison was!
Jiajing was so excited that he went crazy!
" Minister Yan..." At this moment, Jiajing felt that he had lived in vain. Looking at Yan Song's haggard appearance, he was a little touched. He imagined a scene, that was Yan Song burning the midnight oil, forgetting to sleep and eat, and working tirelessly to think of ideas for him and find ways to earn money. Yan Song was different from other officials. Other officials would only ask him for money, and even stop him from earning money. Yan Song, on the other hand, would not ask him for money, and would help him earn money.
"My humerus!"
Yan Song knew that his performance was a success, and Jiajing was touched by him. If the system had a prompt at this time, the system would probably have started to sound a series of notifications of 10 favorability points.
At this moment, Yan Song tilted his body as if he was about to collapse from extreme fatigue.
"Minister Yan!" Jia Jing hurriedly went over to support Yan Song.
Huang Jin suddenly felt a little sad. Even the Emperor had never treated him like this. However, Huang Jin was a kind person after all, so he was not jealous of Yan Song.
Yan Song pretended to be sober for a moment." Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was confused just now."”
"It's fine." Jiajing's face was full of tolerance.”
"Your Majesty, I just mentioned the source of one to two million taels of silver. Other than that, there's another biggest source of income…" Yan Song continued.
What was that?
Wasn't it big enough just now?
There was a bigger source of income?
Jiajing was already dumbfounded!
"Beloved minister, quickly tell me, where is the biggest source of income?”Jiajing asked in shock, his words incoherent.
However, Yan Song suddenly fell to the ground and started snoring.
"Ahhhh ~~~" Jiajing was going crazy.
He didn't even mention his biggest source of income. It was so painful to be stuck!
However, at this moment, he saw Yan Song snoring, and it was a very heavy snore. He immediately gave up on the idea of waking Yan Song up.
"My loyal subject!"
Jiajing sighed and quickly ordered the eunuch to move Yan Song to the bed that had been prepared so that Yan Song could sleep comfortably.
However, not long after, Yan Song opened his eyes without anyone noticing. His eyes were filled with cunningness.
Forget about eating and sleeping for the emperor, hehe, that was all bullsh * t. Yan Song only wanted to complete the system reward as soon as possible. The 50,000 points were extremely coveted.
If Jiajing knew what Yan Song was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would chase Yan Song down a few streets with a knife.
After a few breaths, Yan Song finally fell into a deep sleep.

(This early morning is the main thing, haha)
