Chapter 31 What is taken from the people is for the people

"Your Majesty, but now the treasury is empty, if the taxes are lowered, where will the money come from, this is a difficult problem......

Xiao Guogong naturally knows that the maintenance of the harem, as well as the country's support of those soldiers and generals, as well as those natural and man-made disasters, all cost money.

The money of the Great Sui comes from taxes, but if the taxes are lowered, the idea is good, but the money is not enough.

So taxes can't be lowered, although the idea is good.

If Your Majesty can think like this, he is already a Ming Jun.

"Money, I'll find a way, there are long-term and short-term, if you want to solve the problem of money immediately with violence, that's too easy, have you ever seen a pig? Fattened pigs kill ...... directly"

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty smiled, in fact, he wanted to develop the economy of the entire Great Sui, and he had a way, he could find a way to refine salt, cultivate greenhouse vegetables, and solve the food problem.

But that has to be done slowly, but at the moment there is a good way to make money, and that is to kill pigs.

Kill fattened pigs directly.

"Kill pigs? This, Your Majesty, do you mean that this time I received the mission? ”

Xiao Guogong naturally wouldn't think that Emperor Yang of Sui's killing of pigs was really killing pigs?

His pig represents money, rich money, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the errand he just received was to investigate the traitor, so that he immediately understood what His Majesty meant.

"This, is it appropriate?"

Xiao Guogong gasped, only thinking that His Majesty's idea was really incredible, and he actually killed his courtiers as pigs?

However, some ministers are really hateful, and they are usually full of evil, but they have accumulated a lot of wealth by relying on someone behind them to do evil.

If you really want to rectify the corrupt officials in the court in a short time, Your Majesty's trick is very effective and effective, and it is real.

"Suitable, what's inappropriate, taken from the people for the people, you just did a thing for the heavens, of course, those people's crimes must be investigated clearly, kill those representative evildoers, understand?"

When Yang Guang said these words, he smiled, and he didn't feel burdened at all.

He will do the things of tax reduction and exemption, and let the national ruler do the things of killing people with black pots, and the people will still get a lot of benefits in the end.

Wouldn't that be the best?

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen has understood...... ”

Xiao Guogong has already understood what Emperor Yang of Sui meant, and he can't do anything else, investigating those corrupt officials still has to collect evidence of their crimes, which is easy for Xiao Guogong.

In the end, if the property of those officials is recharged to the state treasury, won't this immediately solve the problem of the emptiness of the state treasury?

This is more money than anything else, this is really killing pigs.

As for Xiao Shan, he knelt on the side and was stunned.

This majesty's mind is really different from others, otherwise how could he be your majesty, and they are all minions?

"Xiao Shan, you're in the Ministry of Rites now, aren't you? You recently looked for me, do you have the kind of skilled craftsmen, the kind of skilled workers who can farm and grow vegetables, I need a group of old farmers......"

There are quite a few royal manors near Luoyang City, where there are many fields and fish ponds, and these places are responsible for sending some fresh melons and fruits to the palace every year.

As for taxes, the royal manor doesn't make much money in a year, and it seems that he can't make much money in a year just by occasionally supporting the nobles in the palace.

Because there are also a lot of village heads and family members, they are directly managed by the eunuchs sent out by the palace.

Yang Guang wanted to try it, let people grow greenhouse winter vegetables in Huangzhuang, or let people find crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, which have a fairly high yield.

At least if it is found, it can solve the problem of eating for the common people of the Great Sui Dynasty,

When there is a real catastrophe, those things can live.

As long as the common people are well fed and can survive, they will not follow anyone to rebel, and no one is born to fight and kill to fight and kill.

Yang Guang plans to do these things, of course, there must be those old farmers who are good at farming, and these people will be handed over to Xiaoshan.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although Xiao Shan didn't know why Yang Guang was looking for those old farmers, he was very excited, His Majesty actually believed in him so much, and personally ordered him to do things.

This is Huang Enhao soup!

Seeing Xiao Guogong and Xiao Shan kowtow like themselves, Yang Guang was a little awkward, but looking at their pious appearance, he couldn't bear to say anything.

He casually flipped through the recitals of the imperial court, and he didn't have much of a mind, but soon one of them caught his attention.

As usual, the recital is to report good news and not bad news.

It turned out that a salt well was found, so that this year's output increased greatly, and the officials who managed the salt fields were overjoyed, and the first-level reports were regarded as auspicious, and the officials who discovered the salt well asked for credit.

Yang Guang took a look, and it said that the salt well could produce one stone of salt a day, and the amount was quite amazing, so it should be rewarded.

In ancient times, there were not many stones, only 200 catties.

However, there were very few salt wells in the Great Sui, and the official salt was expensive, and the extra stone of salt a day had to be reported to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, so you can imagine how tight the salt was at that time.

At that time, the salt industry needed salt to buy and sell, that is, salt was controlled by the state, and this money was also an important source of national income.

It's just that although things are expensive, the production is too low.

There are not many salt wells that can produce salt in the whole of Dasui, and the number is strictly controlled, so even if there is one more salt well, it is a great joy.

It is also worth reporting to the imperial court.

"Go and announce that the head of the household, as well as the official of this salt production, and the officials who have reported to the salt well have come to see me......

Normally, when the documents of the good news are sent in this way, there are some officials from Yanjing who are on standby in Luoyang City and accept the summons of officials from various ministries at any time.

Of course, they didn't expect that Emperor Yang of Sui would summon them on a whim.

When Li Shan asked people to summon him, not only the officials in charge of Yanjing in the household department, but also the chickens and dogs jumped, panicking, but fortunately, he knew that this report was a happy event.

It's because of the problem of one more salt well, and they are not afraid in their hearts.

When they went to the palace, it happened that Emperor Yang of Sui was summoning Zhang Yixun of Jin Wuwei and asking him about the training of Jin Wuwei's soldiers, as well as the arrangements made by the Ministry of War for those Jin Wuwei who had made meritorious contributions.

Zhang Yi is very busy here, he is His Majesty's person, but Yang Su's person is on the side of the military department, so the military department has a lot of difficulties, but fortunately, Liu Zhong has a little thin face.

He ran to the military headquarters when he had nothing to do, and he didn't know what method he used, so he stuffed the soldiers who were originally following him into the Qianniuwei and Xishan camps to be centurions or something.

And for the replenishment of soldiers and the promotion of soldiers on Jin Wuwei's side, Liu Zhong let Zhang Yi choose all of them, so that the last batch of soldiers recruited.

They are all credible people carefully selected by Zhang Yi.
