"I'm waiting to welcome Lord Sima, the reception banquet has been prepared, and I will show my subordinates a little heart!"

"Hehe, the mind is received, let's hand over the official business first, and we'll talk about the drinking later, why don't you see the doctor?"

"The doctor is sick from work, vomiting blood, and is recuperating in bed at home, so he can't come!"

"Ah, I'm so anxious that I'm vomiting blood!"

…………

As the saying goes: Mount Tai does not compete with the stubborn stones, the rivers do not distinguish the turbidity from the wells, in the face of the bullying of the bald monks, Xiao Yi chose to remain silent, and after the other team passed, he slowly restarted, all the way to the front of Taicang.

Taicang left and right middle Cheng: Chen Qun, Yang Fu, leading more than 100 officials, have been waiting at the door for a long time, seeing the appearance of the team of the Marquis of Wuchou's Mansion, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, Xiao Yilai took up the post of Dasi Nong, but they are still used to honoring the title of Da Sima!

Near the gate of Taicang, there are also many officials kneeling, and there are thousands of people who belong to the yamen of various departments of the imperial court, and they are nominally here to congratulate, but they are full of expectation!

Xiao Yi walked out of the caravan, first helped Chen Qun and Yang Fu up, and waved to everyone, but he didn't see the previous big Si Nong-Wang Lang, and only after asking did he know that he was sick in bed and couldn't hand over!

Wang Lang, the word Jingxing, Donghai County people's family, filial piety and incorruptibility, the first worship of Xuzhou Zhizhong engaged, after moving to the Ji Taishou, good at appeasing the people, in office quite meritorious, in the later for Cao Cao to recruit, into the court to advise the doctor, promoted to the position of the great Si Nong, also known as the elder minister.

After Xun Yu and Xun Yu died, he was responsible for dispatching money and food to support the army, but now he is so anxious that he vomits blood, which shows how bad the finances of the Cao Ying Group are?

Next, Xiao Yi walked into the gate of Taicang surrounded by everyone, and when he passed the threshold, he glanced back, and at the mouth of the alley not far away, there were several monks who probed their brains......

They were ordered by the Shenguang monk to come to investigate the situation, although they were too far away and could not see Xiao Yi's dignity, but from the slogans of the officials, they already knew who they had offended just now......

If the country is turned into a family, the emperor is the head of the family (the current has no rights), the prime minister is the deacon and housekeeper (this is too domineering), and the big Sinong is the bookkeeper, who is responsible for the income and expenditure of the whole family, and has countless money and food. (Good errand, plenty of oil and water!) ）

If you want to manage your money and food, you must sort out your accounts, so the first thing Xiao Yi did when he took office was to go out of Taicang's photo album and let his subordinates check it carefully to see how much money he left and how much money he needed, so that he could live within his means.

"In July of the ninth year of Jian'an, the six counties of Qingzhou sent 4 million in money, 500,000 yuan in grain, and 200,000 catties of pig iron into storage, all of which were sent to the front line ...... Jingzhou."

"In August of the ninth year of Jian'an, Taicang once again intercepted the flow of officials at all levels: 650,000 stone of corn for military rations, and the flow was intercepted for a total of four months......"

"In September of the ninth year of Jian'an, from the Xu, Yan, and Henan scholars, and wealthy merchants, 5 million copper coins and 480,000 corn were seconded...... For the army to fight, the interest is two into five, and the principal and interest will be returned in three years! ”

…………………………

The fifty students brought by Xiao Yi have all been strictly trained, they can hold a brush in one hand, plan a plate in the other, and read the number of account books at the same time, and their hearts, hands, and eyes cooperate very closely, and the leaders are Cui Lie and Meng Jian!

They originally lived in seclusion in Wollongong, but they were forcibly invited, their hearts were full of resentment, and they were extremely uncooperative, but after a few months of getting along, they were impressed by Xiao Yi's personality charm, and they all became subordinate officials of the Wuwu Hou Mansion and concurrently served as a doctor of Zhengming Academy!

Taicang photo albums are piled up, under normal circumstances, it takes at least three or four days to sort them out, and it only took the students half a day, even if it is clear, but the final result makes Xiao Yi smile bitterly......

Because of the years of war, the treasury is extremely empty, people often use 'empty as a wild, hungry and running mice' to describe, but after checking the accounts, Xiao Yi found that what he said was wrong, it was the treasury of the Han Dynasty, and there were still some things in it!

However, Xiao Yi prefers to have nothing, because what his predecessor left behind is an IOU full of eight boxes, which is as empty as a flat land, and what he will face is a big pit?

It turned out that the southern expedition in the past two years had already emptied the imperial treasury, and in order to support the military needs at the front, Taicang officials could only borrow money from civil and military officials, scholars, and wealthy merchants...... Whoever could borrow was borrowed, and some were usurious!

If it's just a loan, Xiao Yi doesn't have to worry about it, the money and grain are borrowed in the name of the imperial court, no matter how bold the officials, scholars, and wealthy businessmen are, they don't dare to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis Mansion to collect debts.

What's even worse is that the country urgently needs a lot of money and grain: the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the war need money to reward them, and the officials of the imperial court also need to receive the money, and it is the spring ploughing season, and the people need to plough cattle, seeds, farm tools, and rations to survive until the autumn harvest......

The country's finances are so bad that it is rare in all dynasties, no wonder Wang Lang is sick in bed and does not dare to come to hand over the accounts, even if he is in good health, I am afraid that he will not dare to show his face, for fear that Xiao Yi will draw his sword and cut people in anger.

There are also officials outside the gate of Taicang, not so much to welcome them, but to look forward to relief, because according to the accounts, the imperial court has not paid money for more than half a year, and the officials are also waiting to be fed, and the whole family is waiting for the rice to be cooked!

"It's all our incompetence, so that the treasury is empty, and we owe a lot of money and food, and I ask Da Sima to punish him!"

"You don't have to blame yourself, the army is constantly fighting, and countless money and food are consumed, even the gold and silver mountains should be empty, and it is not easy to wait for the hard support!

I have already played the Prime Minister, and I will promote and reward all the meritorious personnel in Taicang, and I hope that you will work together to help this great Sima get through the difficulties! ”

"Thank you for your understanding, my subordinates really have nothing to do--woo!"

………………

Chen Qun, Yang Fu and others knelt down one after another, they were to blame for the country's poor finances, and Xiao Yi's comforting words moved them even more, and some people even cried......

In order to ensure the supply of the front line, the officials of Taicang raised grain and grass everywhere, ate cold food when they were hungry, slept in their clothes, and did not go home for several months......

Especially during the Great War of Ulin, ordnance, grain and grass, medicinal herbs, winter clothes ...... Military orders were issued one after another, all of them were urgent, and the officials worked day and night, some were tired and fainted, some were tired and vomited blood, and some were exhausted to death......

But what is recorded in the history books are only generals who charge into battle, strategists who give advice, and debaters who talk about swords...... Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, Cheng Yu, Zhou Yu, Lu Su...... A resounding name, thousands of years later, it is also a household name!

And these internal affairs officials, they can only work hard, and they are also unknown when they are tired, and now they are relieved by Da Sima's words, which is really sweeter than eating honey, not to mention the rich rewards!

"A rich man is hard to ...... a man without money If you want to be safe and secure, you must have a lot of money! ”

After appeasing the officials, Xiao Yi closed his eyes and thought, now that the treasury is extremely empty, crying can't solve the problem, and finding a way to get some money and food is the best, but where to start?

The Han Dynasty was an agricultural empire, and the main income came from the peasants, with more than seventy percent of the land endowment, and the rest were vehicle and vessel taxes, livestock taxes, five poultry taxes, and entertainment taxes...... Salt, iron, wine, timber and miscellaneous taxes!

I just presented the "Ten Policies for Governing the Country", exempting the Central Plains from one year's field tax and labor, so that the people can recuperate.

Of course, the word 'official' makes sense anyway, exempt from land tax, poll tax, free from conscription, and military service, does the court want to loot the people, don't worry about finding an excuse!

At that time, the imperial court sent troops to levy, and asked for countless money, food, ordnance, and farmers, so they could only continue to squeeze the people, and then the vicious circle continued...... Until the collapse of the Han Empire!

As for other taxes, they have been levied in advance for three years, and the re-levy will also cause a rebound, and the number is insufficient, the cycle is too long, and it takes a lot of time to carry out commercial tax reform.

I must get a large amount of money and food in the shortest possible time, and get through the difficulties in front of me first, normal channels are impossible, and I can only go off the rails, and now the richest person in Xuchang City ......

"Inform Xuchang City and beyond, all local heroes, rich businessmen, tonight this big Sima set up a banquet, invite them to drink and celebrate, by the way to discuss some things!"

"Order the Hell Demon Battalion to immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and let the 'Four Beasts' come over again, there is something to do for them!"

"No!"

The four people of the world, the farmers and the industrialists: the officials are in arrears a large amount of money, and it is not appropriate to borrow any more money, and the farmers and craftsmen live in poverty and cannot collect money and grain, so if they want to solve the financial problems, they can only 'lay a black hand' on the merchants.

However, the businessmen are the most profitable, if they want to be generous, they must be exchanged at an equal price, but fortunately, they still have some 'dry goods', and they are not afraid that they will not be tempted!

The power of Buddhism has expanded viciously, not only believers and Japanese dramas, but also looting a lot of money and occupying a lot of land, just like a fattening 'little pig', which is just used to rob the rich and help the poor!

This matter has a huge impact, you must plan it well, don't make a fuss if you can't beat the fox, in addition, reach out to the Buddhas to ask for money, ordinary people don't have the guts, they can only release the hellish ghosts......
