After exchanging glances knowingly, Xu Ji and Feng Ziying both relaxed.

In fact, as long as the question is explained, for the two of them who obviously belong to the minion level, it is simpler.

The rest is that the bigwigs of all parties are working together, testing and learning from each other, of course, there must be some specific details, but the big strategy can only be drawn after some deliberation by the bigwigs of all parties, and this is not something that can be finalized in a short time.

However, for Feng Ziying, this is enough, as long as this strategy can be finalized, it means that the battle of the Western Expedition to counter-rebellion can basically come to an end.

The expenses required to counter the rebellion and all the logistical supply expenses of Liu Dongyang's expedition to the west to capture Shazhou can basically be satisfied, as long as the rest is a deeper level of consultation.

"Ziying, I guess it doesn't make much sense for the two of us to talk about this question here, well, let's talk about this debt, what do you think about it, and what is the most appropriate way to take the debt?" Xu was clearly more interested in this.

"What, Brother Zixun intends to stay in the household department in the future?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a while, "It's not impossible, the older the foolish brother is, the more he feels that the court's financial constraints are the key to the current court's difficulties in all aspects, if the court's income in terms of financial endowment can increase a lot, just like the strategy of opening the sea you mentioned, then the problems of the court in all aspects can be alleviated a lot." ”

"Hehe, in the final analysis, it's a matter of money and silver, does Brother Zixun want to talk about this?" Feng Ziying shook her head and laughed at the same time, this Xu Zheng seemed to be very touched.

"Well, you can't do anything without money and silver, and many things can only be sighed." Xu Zheng nodded, "Ziying doesn't seem to agree with Brother Fool's opinion?" ”

"No, Brother Zixun, then how do you think you can make the imperial court's finances abundant?" Feng Ziying spread her hands, "Or, what does Brother Zixun think is enough?" After so many years of the imperial court, is there enough time? ”

Xu Ji was slightly shocked, as if he had captured something, but it was fleeting, thinking hard, but he could no longer find that inspiration.

Feng Ziying didn't say any more.

The modern financial system is not something that people in this era can understand, and the relatively static and solidified primitive financial concept of living within the limits of income, and even opposing the wealth of the country against the affluence of the common people, feeling that the wealth of the world is fixed, and the more the income of the imperial court, the less the people will have in their pockets, this relatively static and solidified primitive financial concept is still deeply rooted in the hearts of many people.

Not to mention the budget and final accounts and fiscal deficits, as well as the national debt and fiscal expansion policies, without sufficient primary industrialization and trade systems, these ideas and policies could hardly be approved by the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty in this era.

But Xu Zheng sensed something from Feng Ziying's mysterious smile, and he persevered: "Ziying, I know that you have always had a lot of ideas and ideas, so let's listen to it." ”

Feng Ziying thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to instill some concepts in this regard to the other party in advance, as for whether the other party accepted it or not, it didn't matter, if he accepted it all at once, he would be surprised, it was normal not to accept it, but after encountering some situations in the future, he would naturally think of these things.

"Brother Zixun, you and I'll talk about it, well, it's my own thinking, such as the income of the imperial court, is there a fixed number? I don't think so, the imperial court's wealth now seems to be very fixed, from the earliest time it was the monopoly of Tianfu and salt iron tea horses, as well as some specific scattered commercial taxes, such as bamboo and wood and some special products, but with the increasing popularity of tea, iron and horses in the lives of the people, these things are no longer monopolized, except for the sale to specific areas, such as Saiwai Guanwai and overseas, even so, tea does not belong to this trip,......"

Feng Ziying talked eloquently, "One of the points of view in our Shilin is that the collection of commercial taxes is to compete with the people for profit, the reason is that the imperial court has added taxes to these goods, so the merchants will add to the small people who use them, but we think from another angle, if we don't collect commercial taxes, will the people be able to spend less?" Would businessmen be so affectionate and righteous? We all have some livelihood in our family, and we all know that this is not possible, the essence of a businessman is to pursue profit,......"

……

From the nature of the imperial court's finances and the composition of taxes, from the monopoly to the significance of commercial taxes, from the lives of the common people to how to achieve abundance in the imperial court's finances, Feng Ziying and Xu Ji's discussion can be regarded as opening many windows for Xu Ji.

As for whether Xu Ji could stick his head out of the window and see something, Feng Ziying didn't know.

Because after all, he is not a professional, and he simply mixed some miscellaneous views on finance, taxation and industrial development, and even investment promotion and foreign trade in his previous life, and taught Xu Ji a lesson.

Seeing Xu Ji stepping out of the door of his house, he was still a little ignorant, Feng Ziying estimated that these hodgepodges that even she might not really understand had blindfolded the other party.

Some plausible principles that seem to make sense at first glance can be applied in this era, God knows, but Feng Ziying feels that she must always try, after all, society is moving forward.

*******

Wang Ziteng, who returned to the mansion, was a little tired and received a post from Niu Jizong and Chen Daoxian, and pondered for a long time before asking someone to inform him.

Niu Jizong and Chen Dao came quickly, faster than Wang Ziteng imagined, so you can imagine how anxious these two were.

In addition to Niu Jizong and Chen Daoxian, there are also Chen Ruiwen, the mighty general of the Duke of Qi, and Ma Shang, the head of the Ma family.

Seeing that even Chen Ruiwen, who rarely came forward, came, Wang Ziteng knew that the matter was not small.

However, he also knew some things about it before, and now the Shi family and the Ma family are in trouble, especially the Shi family, if they don't get it right, they will become the first of the Four Kings and Eight Princes family to be expelled.

And the situation of the Ma family is also very bad, Ma Xia has been sent to prison, and the Emperor Taishang has not had any attitude towards the affairs of the Ma family.

Niu Jizong's face was slightly gloomy, while Chen Daoxian's expression was calm, Chen Ruiwen only frowned slightly, but it was normal, but Ma Shang's appearance frightened Wang Ziteng, it had only been a few months, Ma Shang's white hair on his temples was already faintly visible, and his face was full of exhaustion and helplessness to tell how haggard the Weiyuan general was during this time.

"Country, how did it become like this?"

Although the relationship between Wang Ziteng and Ma Shang is very ordinary, far less close than that of Niu Jizong and Chen Ruiwen, but after all, they both belong to the Wuxun family, and the relationship between the Jia family and the Ma family has always been good.

"Brother Ziteng, it's hard to say, Ma Xia has made our Ma family miserable."

Ma Shang held Wang Ziteng's hand and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I haven't slept a lot of sleep this month, I can't sleep at night, hundreds of people in the family are anxious, a little bit of wind and grass is scared, one of the fourth concubines was pregnant, but a few nights ago, the wind didn't know that the beast's mouth copper ring on the gate sounded violently, scared the family was busy, chickens and dogs jumped, thinking that something was wrong, but it turned out to be so tossed, there was no ,......"

What Ma Shang didn't dare to say was that there were people in Fusili in Beizhen, Long Forbidden Lieutenant, who came to harass him every day, which would only make these families want to draw a line even more.

During this period of time, Long Banwei asked the child in the family to report for duty today, and asked the child tomorrow, and they all chose a few sons-in-law.

This one by one is so frightened that his face is pale, every time he comes to the door, he has to send hundreds of taels of silver to send those little devils away, or he has to take the whole family, if this woman's family is brought into Beizhen Fusi, then there can be a good? It's just that there's nothing to do, and when you come out, you can only hang yourself.

Niu Jizong drooped his eyelids, but snorted coldly in his nose, Ma Xia made such a big deal, and it also involved the inner servant around the emperor, although the inner servant committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, but how can such things satisfy the emperor? And those royal histories are still unrelenting.

"...... over there in the Shi family" After Wang Ziteng helped Ma Shang to sit down on the chair, he returned to his seat, but his eyes turned to Chen Daoxian's side, "Daoxian?" ”

"Prince, the Long Forbidden Lieutenant has sealed the Shi family, although it has not been confiscated, but if everyone does not have the common text of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple and the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, they are not allowed to enter and exit, the patrol battalion of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the five military camps have respectively dispatched a hundred soldiers to be responsible for guarding, and the three imperial historians are sitting in the Shi family, even the Long Forbidden Lieutenant cannot enter and exit at will,......"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a cold wind blowing, making the atmosphere in the whole hall as cold as winter.

This is the founding martial arts, the Gongshi family of the country is a well-known martial arts family, the Conglong family back then, is it really going to wipe out the nine clans and kill them all?

Hearing Chen Daoxian say this, Ma Shang was even more shaky, "Doesn't the emperor miss the old feelings at all?" ”

"Hmph, what is the old relationship between the emperor and your Ma family? Before the emperor ascended the throne, when did your Shi family and Ma family pay attention to the emperor? Niu Jizong said unceremoniously: "Now let's think of a way, it's too late!"

"Niu Jizong, how much better is your Niu family than our Ma family Shi family? Don't talk cool there, maybe it will fall on your Niu family tomorrow! Ma Shang was furious, pointing his finger at Niu Jizong and scolding.

"Hmph, our Niu family is the same, but our Niu family knows convergence, unlike your family and the Shi family Ma Xia Shi Guangjue who don't know how to live or die, Ningxia and Gansu are so poor that they can't open the pot, and the soldiers mutiny for this reason are few, you are really capable, you can get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in two or three years, the emperor in order to make up enough for the nine-sided army, even the Huangzhuang has sold several, but only 300,000 taels of silver, you two can be good, casually can be seized by the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate out of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, You especially want the Metropolitan Procuratorate to target us, and you want to dig up the roots of our martial arts families! ”

Speaking of the back, Niu Jizong had already stood up and unbuttoned his clothes, his eyes widened angrily, and he stepped forward and grabbed Ma Shang's chest, and roared viciously.
