My lord, there is one place in your method that cannot be solved no matter what!

Sony's words were not loud, but this seemingly random sentence made Suke Saha, who was originally proud, stunned at first, and then looked at Sony in some surprise.

What does he mean by that?

Fulin also looked at Sony puzzled, waiting for his explanation.

"Silver!"

Seeing that the attention was on himself, Sonny said slowly.

"Everything must be done with silver first, whether it is shipbuilding or buying rice, silver is always needed, even if the Nanyang rice is cheap, it can't hold much ah, four million stones a year, but it also has to be two million taels, plus other expenses, the slave estimates, without two million and a half million taels, it can't be sustained."

Looking at the thoughtful emperor, Sony sighed again, all looking pity.

"Your Majesty, silver is needed everywhere now, although this foreign rice is good, but where do millions of taels of silver come from? If you don't have money to buy rice, it's all empty talk. ”

It's a pity to pretend to be, Sonny said as he looked at Sukh Saha.

"Now the imperial court can't wait to break a tael of silver into two petals to flower, and what silver is there to build ships and buy rice."

If it were for others, maybe the tone would still be tactful, but Su Ke Saha, who had already reflected that he had everything on this matter, was allowed to be refuted by others, and immediately said urgently.

"Master Suo was surprised by this, it is true that this shipbuilding and buying rice requires millions of taels of silver, but don't forget, these millions of taels are not spent at one time, but to buy hundreds of boats of grain a year, a total of silver, at the beginning, as long as it costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it is enough to build a ship and buy rice, and after this rice is transported back, in the capital, one stone of rice can earn one or two silver, four million stones a year, just by selling rice, the imperial court may not get less than three or four million taels,"

Looking directly at Sony, Sukh Saha said in an irrefutable tone.

"Even if this matter is contracted to the clothed servants in the thirteen yamen, the imperial court will collect rice according to one stone and one tael, and then sell it for one or two or three dollars, and then it will be able to make a profit of no less than one million taels a year."

Then he turned to the emperor and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, this is like doing business, as long as you invest some capital, this money and profits will naturally be endless, and when the time comes, the million taels of this profit can naturally enter the thirteen yamen, which can be used for the use of the heavenly family, and can also solve the needs of the imperial court."

Although after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the 13 yamen were set up in imitation of the 24 yamen in the Ming Dynasty style, as an internal court institution, serving the emperor and his family, and serving the royal family and his family in the court. Therefore, the financial resources of the whole country at that time were mainly concentrated in the household department, and the income in the palace was limited, and its use was mostly taken from others. Because of this, the royal use is always subject to various restrictions.

This will Su Ke Saha directly threw out a bait, although there is no internal affairs office now, but the clothing of the internal affairs government is still there, they are all royal minions, let them come forward to operate Nanyang rice, not only can they befriend these rich slaves of the internal affairs government, but more importantly, they can solve the needs of the palace.

In other words, it is "harming the public and fattening the private", but this is the loss of the country and the fattening of the royal family. If it were any other dynasty, I am afraid that no one would be able to say such a sentence nakedly, but the reason why Sukh Saha said this is because the royal family of the Great Qing Kingdom has always done so.

And as early as Huang Taiji's meeting, he had already developed such a habit. In the early years of the Mandate of Heaven, the gold side seized property, and its gold and silver and other valuables were owned by the eight nobles. Economic independence became the basis for the eight countries to jointly govern the country, but this was not conducive to the strengthening of imperial power and the stability and unity of the country. For this reason, Huang Taiji began to focus on breaking this system. In the eighth year of Tiancong, when distributing the newly captured strong men, Huang Taiji said, "The captured people do not have to be evenly divided as before, and should be the flag of making up for the lack of strong men." From then on, he gradually took control of the distribution of wealth and property, and implemented the distribution in his favor, which greatly strengthened his strength. And these property people were filled into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and became the source of wealth for the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time.

Although Shunzhi later changed the internal affairs office built during the Huang Taiji period to the thirteen yamen, it still continued to strengthen the income of the thirteen yamen, just as the current household finance mainly comes from the main income of the provinces, tariffs, salt taxes and other regular income, while the palace finance controlled by the thirteen yamen mainly comes from the income of the imperial village to which it belongs. Of course, earlier, the mink and ginseng in Manchuria were handed over to the Thirteen Yamen for monopoly, and the Thirteen Yamen also sold the remaining such items in the palace to obtain profits. In addition, it is engaged in commercial activities such as the sale and leasing of government housing.

These behaviors are all aimed at increasing the income of the royal family, and they are all behaviors of "harming the public and private interests", but the emperor still does this, but even so, because the palace needs a huge amount of money, although it tries to raise funds, its income is still often insufficient, and there is still a strong dependence on the household department. When the funds are insufficient, they still directly ask the household department to allocate money.

It is precisely because of this that Sukh Saha proposed that the "Ministry of Internal Affairs" be responsible for the purchase and sale of Nanyang rice, and then all the profits from the sale of Nanyang rice will naturally go to the heavenly family.

Although he knew that the emperor was already moved, Sony, who was unwilling to let Suke Saha be so proud, objected.

"Your Majesty, now that the court is in a tight situation, there is really no money left to do this!"

Then Sony said in a rather helpless voice.

"Lord Su, you must know that this army has no pay to disperse, now, this southern expedition army has been without pay for half a year, if it drags on like this, I am afraid that the army's heart will be scattered sooner or later! There is also the southwest, which is also a heavenly fold to ask for silver, and now the silver in the imperial court is a radish and a pit, and the destination has long been determined, what is there to spare? ”

"This ...... This, Sony, said extremely true. ”

Although he was thrilled that the Heavenly Family could earn millions of taels of silver every year, Fu Lin still knew that there was no extra silver in the household now. But it's a pity that the income of this million taels of silver was given up like this.

And Wu Liangfu, who was waiting on the emperor's side, the chief eunuch who was the most trusted in Shunzhi, naturally saw the emperor's thoughts, so he interjected on the side.

"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that it is inconvenient for a slave to intervene as a eunuch, but the slave also has something to say about this matter."

Seeing Wu Liangfu interjecting on the side, although Sony was dissatisfied, he still chose to remain silent, after all, everyone knows that the emperor is extremely favored by Wu Liangfu, and he can be described as a dominant family in the palace, and even in the 15th year of Shunzhi, there was a case of bribery and collusion between eunuchs and officials, Wu Liangfu was involved, but Shunzhi still protected him and did not punish him in accordance with his own decree prohibiting eunuchs from interfering in politics. In this case, Sony naturally would not find himself boring and offend this eunuch.

"You say."

Fu Lin nodded and motioned for Wu Liangfu to continue.

"Since Master Su said that this matter is handed over to the clothed servants in the yamen to do, then this silver should naturally be taken out by the slaves, which from ancient times to the present, are all taking the silver of the court to do errands, and there is a reason to take the silver of the court to do business, so the slaves feel that as long as the emperor has a will, the servants are naturally willing to pay the silver to do errands for the master, and share the worries of the master, after all, this is the duty of being a slave."

Wu Liangfu, who bowed his head, didn't have a loud voice, and his tone was full of the meaning of sharing worries for his master, but only he knew that the reason why he said this was because he wanted to get a piece of the Nanyang rice business. After all, as a eunuch, he has no roots, he is also a homeless person, and he has no worries, and as for women, he is even more powerless, so most eunuchs love money, and only silver can give them enough protection, whether it is psychological or life.

Like most eunuchs, Wu Liangfu also prefers silver, but the income of this silver is always limited, this will hear that this Nanyang rice can earn millions of taels a year, Wu Liangfu will not be moved, as long as he presses a cronie to insert it, it is not easy to get hundreds of thousands of taels a year.

Wu Liangfu, who was excited, naturally would not sit back and watch such an opportunity to miss out in front of him, so he would take the initiative to stand up and seek benefits for himself under the pretext of "sharing worries for the master".

Originally, he noticed that the emperor was a little moved, and when Su Ke Saha heard Wu Liangfu say this, he immediately agreed.

"What Gonggong Wu said is reasonable, Bao Yi is in charge of this matter, so naturally they should pay for this errand."

When Sukh Saha said this, he deliberately looked at Sony with the rest of his eyes, looking at his pale face, he first sneered in his heart, and then asked.

"I wonder what Lord Suo thinks?"

Sony, who was asked by Sukh Saha like this, his face was not good-looking, and his face became even more ugly, but it returned to normal in an instant, and he nodded and said.

"Since this is the case, the minions will naturally not object, if the Heavenly Family's Baoyi can handle this matter well, after all, it will be beneficial and harmless to my Qing Dynasty."

In fact, from the time he saw the emperor's heartbeat, Sony knew about it, he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it anymore, not only would he offend the emperor, but even eunuchs like Wu Liangfu and those clothed slaves in the thirteen yamen would also be offended.

It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain, and Sony doesn't understand. Eunuchs like Wu Liangfu still have those coats, if they are offended, they may not be able to return them when they are not paying attention.

If you offend these minions, you will definitely suffer a big loss at that time!

Not only can you not offend, but you have to please them, thinking so in her heart, Sony even complimented her.

"If it weren't for Gonggong Wu mentioning it on the side, I'm afraid the old minister would really not have thought of such an idea."

A simple compliment, listening to Wu Liangfu's ears, made him quite useful smile and polite, and when he was polite, even Shunzhi said in a good mood.

"You slave, it's rare to have a point or two of ability, so I'll reward you with five taels of silver."
