Yuan Fang nodded: "Then sell it twice, I believe those merchants should know how to do it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yang Xing said with a bitter face: "Even then, you won't be able to make up much silver." ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said: "It's okay, let the steel pipe change the rules this time, collect some admission fees, well, don't need too much, everyone will charge a thousand taels, by the way, in order to show the grandeur, you personally write invitations and invite all those big businessmen with a little strength." ”

Yang Xing blinked his eyes: "The entrance fee of one thousand taels, isn't it too expensive?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled: "It's not expensive, let's not let them take the silver for nothing, the auction venue can be set up in the palace, what do you think, what kind of place is the palace?" Is that what the average person can get into? Spend 1,000 taels to let them go into the palace for a turn, I believe many people will not refuse, by the way, and get some souvenirs, such as trinkets with royal style or something to auction together, I believe it should be able to sell at a good price. By the way, aren't you going to the throne? You can also sell some places to watch the ceremony, and witness the new emperor's ascension to the throne, which is harmless and glorious, and those merchants will definitely spare no expense, which should add up to a lot of silver, and should be able to deal with the current crisis temporarily. ”

Yang Xing scratched his head: "Boss, can this work?" Doesn't it seem like a good thing to let outsiders into the palace? ”

Yuan Fang pouted and said, "What's good or not, we are so poor that we can't even open the pot, what are you still worried about?" People pay money, you just let them go to your house for a turn, and there is nothing to lose, besides, it's not to let them go around casually, and find someone to watch when the time comes, and it's also the reputation of you inviting them to participate in the auction, even if others know about it, they can't say anything. ”

Yang Xing hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily: "Okay, let's do it, boss, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes wildly: "You kid is here again." ”

Yang Xing smiled and said: "Who made you my boss, if you don't help me, who will help me." ”

Yuan Fang was helpless: "Okay, it just so happens that it's almost rusty these days, so it's good to find something to do." Yang Xing breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with at home.

Yuan Fang sent Yang Xing out of the mansion, and before leaving, Yuan Fang instructed Yang Xing: "National events are important, you should also pay more attention to rest, if your body is praised, then there will be nothing, by the way, take more time to accompany Xiaomei, Yan Yue told me that she has not been in a good mood recently, and she may have encountered something difficult." ”

Yang Xing was full of guilt when he heard this, and said: "It's really hard for her these days, don't worry boss, I won't do anything when I go back, and I'll accompany Xiaomei when I go back." ”

Yuan Fang nodded with a smile and watched Yang Xing and his party go away. Back in the study, Yuan Fang fell into deep thought, although he could get some silver by exploiting those merchants, it was not a long-term solution, and he had to find another way to solve this problem fundamentally. The main source of the state treasury is tax revenue, and Yuan Fang felt that it was possible to develop industry and agriculture on a large scale to promote the development of commerce and trade, and to promote consumption to increase tax revenue, but how to achieve this was a problem.

In agriculture, in addition to allowing farmers to plant some cash crops, it is to encourage farmers to open up wasteland, but if you want farmers to open up wasteland and farm, you must give certain preferential policies, this is a long process, it takes a while to see results, planting some cash crops is okay, but the world's food output is not high, a year down, remove the consumption of there is not much leftover, if farmers are changed to plant some vegetables and fruits or medicinal materials with relatively high economic benefits, it will affect the foundation of people's livelihood. That's more than worth the loss.

What about industry, Yuan Fang thought about it and didn't think that the empire could get his hands on anything, let's put it this way, all countries on the mainland are almost the same, what you can make can be made by others, if you want to open up international trade with industrial products, there is basically no big advantage, its root is technology, without sophisticated and advanced technology, there is no advantage, there is no advantage, there is no competitiveness, there is no competitiveness, then everything is empty talk.

After thinking about it for a long time and having no clue, Yuan Fang was depressed, and finally decided to go to the palace tomorrow and discuss it with Wei Chigang. Wei Chigang, now is no longer the original logistics director, although he still has a military position, but he is now mainly responsible for the empire's commerce, although this goods have not fully adapted to the current work, but the knowledge is much stronger than Yuan Fang, perhaps, from him can find something useful.

The next morning, after a simple meal, Yuan Fang took Sang Rou and Yuyue and a team of female soldiers out of the mansion, originally, Yuan Fang didn't want to be so public, but since the last incident, Yang Xing was worried about Yuan Fang's safety, and specially sent a team of female soldiers as Yuan Fang's escort to protect his safety, these female soldiers were conscientious, they followed Yuan Fang wherever he went, no matter what Yuan Fang said, in the end, Yuan Fang had no choice but to let them follow him.

Outside the imperial city, as soon as Yuan Fang and his party approached, a team of Praetorian Guards stopped them, and the officer led by them was a famous captain, Yuan Fang felt very fresh, he should not have seen it before.

The captain of the Praetorian Guard stopped Yuan Fang and his party, glanced at Yuan Fang, Sang Rou and Jieyue, who were the leaders, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Which unit are you from?" This is the imperial city, and it is not allowed to approach without permission. ”

Nowadays, many troops in the imperial capital have been issued camouflage, and Yuan Fang and Sang Rou are also wearing camouflage today, Yuan Fang, the rank is only squad leader, not as high as Sang Rou and Jieyue, and they don't have any banners that represent their status, so the captain of the Praetorian Guard will stop them.

Yuan Fang turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "New here? ”

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, seeing that Yuan Fang's bearing was extraordinary, and there were so many female soldiers to escort him, his tone slowed down, you know, the status of female soldiers is not as good as it was at the beginning, and nodded slightly: "That's right, I have only been transferred here for two months, may I ask Your Excellency?" ”

Yuan Fang scratched his head, he really didn't know how to introduce himself, at this time, Sang Rou stepped forward and said, "This is Yuan Fang, the director of the military hospital, who came to see His Royal Highness." ”

The Praetorian Guard Captain was stunned when he heard this, he heard the name Yuan Fang like thunder, but the Praetorian Guard Captain was more cautious, and said in embarrassment: "It turned out to be Dr. Yuan, that, I don't know if you have anything that can prove your identity?" I'm sorry, I'm responsible, if you have any offense, please Haihan. ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand indifferently, took out the jade plate given to him by Yang Xing from his arms and handed it to the captain of the Praetorian Guard, the captain looked at it carefully, respectfully returned the jade plate to Yuan Fang, and saluted and said: "Yu Xiaolou, the last general of the Praetorian Guard, has seen Doctor Yuan, Doctor Yuan, please come in." Then, Yu Xiaolou turned around and shouted to the guards at the gate of the imperial city: "Open the door, please ask Dr. Yuan to enter." ”
