Speaking of the emperors of the Song Dynasty and the Yu Dynasty, they were actually quite pitiful. The officials under them worked hard to earn money, and when they, the emperor, earned a little money, they would be scolded by these officials who earned money."Fighting for benefits with the people."
In the entire imperial court, the only thing that belonged to the imperial court was salt and iron. However, because the benefits were too great, it was also ruined by the officials. Then came the agricultural tax, which was then destroyed by the land annexation of the gentry.
Then there was the commercial tax. The emperor looked down on commerce, so he couldn't see that the commercial tax was the biggest source of income in the future. It was dozens or hundreds of times more than the agricultural tax. However, the emperor didn't know, and the officials knew but wouldn't say it because they had a fixed interest.
When the emperor realized that there were a lot of commercial taxes, he was jealous and wanted to levy taxes. In the end, those officials strongly opposed it, and the reason was still-" fighting for benefits with the people."
It could be said that in the middle and later stages of feudal society, when business was on the rise, officials began to fight against the emperor because of interests.
The emperor's fate was that he had to pay very little tax every year, and then he had to support a large number of people in the country, such as officials, dignitaries, and the army. In the end, the national treasury was empty. If it wasn't for the occasional looting, they probably wouldn't have been able to endure it.
It was not easy to be an emperor. Even if he wanted to be diligent in government affairs and love the people, he would be held back by the entire civil service group. This was like a person who had fallen into a quagmire. It was very difficult to struggle.
In the end, the history books would give the emperor an evaluation: "Although this emperor is very diligent, it's useless.”
(The Emperor's face was full of tears.）
And in the Rain Dynasty, Yan Hao actually had a way to fill up the national treasury, and that was to open the Ocean Token!
This was a great weapon for amassing wealth. Zhepan was the source of silver, and it also had the enormous wealth brought by the Great Voyage Era.
Once the Ocean Token was opened, the national treasury would be filled with gold and silver in a few years.
Moreover, Yan Hao had already found a loophole in the Ocean Order policy, and he was 100% sure that he could convince the entire imperial court to issue the Ocean Order.
However, Yan Hao didn't want to throw it out now because Yan Hao's team hadn't been formed yet. After the Ocean Token was opened, the benefits would only be taken away by other forces, especially the Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, and Donglin Party in the coastal areas.
Therefore, Yan Hao could only use another method to meet the emperor's needs.
Earth! Earth! Wealth! Zheng!
In the future, local organizations would auction off land, obtain funds, obtain GDP, and obtain prosperity. Then, a lot of poor people would start to become mortgage slaves, and they would be happy to do so because no one else could.
It was a pity that Heavy Rain did not have such a mode of operation. Otherwise, he would not be so poor.
……
After inspecting the outer city, Yan Hao returned to Yan Manor and began to write a plan.
At this moment, the system suddenly sounded a notification.
"Ding…mission generating…"
"Ding…Capital Outer City Construction Plan (First Step): Complete the plan and convince the emperor, the officials, and the nobles to support the construction of the outer city. Upon completion of the mission, you will receive a special gift bag X1 and 50000 points.”
Yan Hao was very happy.
As expected, how could the system miss this plan? Last time, the " Beauty Hunting Case " could trigger the system mission. This time, the matter was so big that it was impossible that he could not trigger the mission.
"A reward of 50,000 points. It's indeed a big mission…However, what's this special gift bag?”
Yan Hao felt that it would be better to exchange the special gift bag for 50,000 points. He urgently needed more talents to establish his own force and break this deadlock without a foundation.
……
Yan Hao stayed in the manor for three days straight, writing the plan all night. Although it was only a rough outline, it was still a long and lengthy plan. He revised and revised it, and it was only completed three days later. It saved him the core benefits and prevented others from discovering it. This was for himself.
After he finished writing, Yan Hao didn't bother to wash up and went straight to the palace to show his determination.
Upon hearing that Yan Hao wanted to see her, Jiajia even postponed her cultivation and actively met Yan Hao.
"Your Majesty, I didn't fail you!" Yan Hao pretended to be miserable.
Jia Jia was shocked when she saw Yan Hao's unkempt appearance and bloodshot eyes.
"My dear minister, this is…"
"I thought of a good idea. I haven't slept for three days and finally have a plan!”Yan Hao forced out tears of excitement.
" I didn't expect you to…" Jiajia couldn't help but feel a little touched. She quickly called Huang Jin," Hurry up and prepare hot porridge and ginseng soup for you. Also, prepare a blanket."”
Huang Jin was also shocked. He didn't expect Yan Hao to work so hard. That haggard look couldn't be faked.
"My dear minister, why don't you take a rest first and report back?”Jiajia was acting out of character. She was actually concerned about Yan Hao and not his silver.
"Your Majesty, I can still hold on.”Yan Hao naturally knew that the more miserable it was, the better it would be for him.
"Alright, you go first. If you can't hold on any longer, you can sleep in the royal study first.”Jiajia said.
Gu Dong
Huang Jin, who was beside him, was so shocked that he collapsed.
Sleeping in the royal study, how great of a grace was this!
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Yan Hao knelt down and said,"Thank you so much!" I have no way to repay you. My method is to open up new sources of income and find a way to make money.”
"Oh? A way to make money?" "Tell me about it, dear minister." Jiajia was suddenly interested.”
Yan Hao said,"My idea is in the outer city. There is a large amount of silver waiting for us to pick it up."”
"A large amount of silver to pick up? Such a good thing?" If it was an ordinary official, Jiajia would have killed this idiot who made him happy. However, Yan Hao had always been powerful, so Jiajia felt that Yan Hao definitely had a way. Therefore, her appetite was high, and her eyes were shining.
"Tell me quickly, dear minister."
Yan Hao: " As far as I know, during the time of Chengzu, due to the declining population and financial constraints in the capital, only the Imperial City and the inner city were built, and the outer city was not built.”
