"Huh?" At this time, Su Quan couldn't help it, and ignored Liu Xing's obstruction and said: "Marshal, give official loans!" If the Yamen and the Marshal's Mansion lend official loans, firstly, a lot of money will be taken away, and secondly, there will be a serious shortage of people! ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing frowned slightly and thought for a while: "The silver horn can absorb private capital and let the four big profiteers in Taiyuan City participate in the preparation of the silver horn. I believe that as long as they are given the opportunity, they can not only enrich their own families, but also make the official business quickly enter the right order.

But you have to pay attention to one diǎn, that is, those people are only allowed to invest a small amount of money in the official account, and dividends are paid to them at the end of the year. No large joint shareholders are allowed, and the public accounts of the Marshal's Mansion must always control more than sixty percent of the joint shares. The money from the sale of houses on the two streets, I allow you to allocate half of it to open this official bank account first. ”

After hearing this, Su Quan's head couldn't help but turn a little bit and couldn't keep up with Liu Xing, he said with a bitter face again: "Marshal, your whimsical idea can not only make the public account quickly gather funds again, but also open up financial resources. However, half of the money invested in the sale of houses in the government-run silver account is equivalent to a lot less in military spending! ”

Without answering him immediately, Liu Xing thought as he started again: More than 3,000 ingots of silver, at most enough to reward one or two walled cities, it is indeed less. So what to do? If there is no reward, it is difficult to guarantee that the morale of the army will not be weakened. Xiao Ye just pulled up his team, but he didn't want to become the second Qin Fengjun among the seed divisions because he had no money.

Money, money, money, in my previous life, I have felt countless times that it is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money. I didn't expect that after coming to the era of the Great Song Dynasty, I would still face the same problem! Grandpa's, I only hate that my grandfather studied applied chemistry in his previous life, not a major in finance or economics, otherwise he could come up with many ways to quickly gather money without hurting the morale of the military and public opinion in minutes......

"Marshal, my subordinates heard what you and Master Su said, and they also have an idea, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

Just when Liu Xing was frowning and bowing his head to think, Lei Zhen behind him suddenly said something.

Looking back at him, Liu Xing said: "There is nothing that should be said or not, as long as there is a way, it will not hurt the people or damage the morale of the army, just say it." ”

When Lei Zhen heard this, he immediately spoke: "In all dynasties, there were laws of government supervision and monopoly. Nowadays, in the Hunter's Valley, although our army is based on private salt, there are private salt hoards in the market, so that it is not very reasonable for the public account to be collected by salt merchants. Secondly, things such as grain, iron, wine, tea, vinegar, alum, etc., which were originally monopolized by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, have never been controlled in the valley. If all these matters in the Hunter Valley can be regulated in accordance with the law and put into the right order, I believe that it can also bring a lot of input to the public account. ”

"No, this method is not feasible!" Before Lei Zhen's voice fell, Su Quan immediately spoke out against it: "The reason why the Hunter Valley is the Hunter Valley is the Hunter Valley that never pays donations and pays taxes. Once your method is implemented, what difference will it be from other places outside the valley in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Su Quan said no, but Liu Xing felt that it was okay. But after all, as Su Quan said, the foundation of the Hunter Valley is a small society that does not pay taxes and is completely free and autonomous.

If taxes are forcibly levied by means of laws and regulations, I am afraid that it will not only be Su Quan who will stand up against it in the future, but all the aborigines of the Hunter Valley.

And he also promised to play Saburo that he would never let the Hunter Valley become a pure land that was squeezed and harmed by harsh government, heavy taxes, and scourges, just like everywhere outside the mountain.

It can't be taxed, that's for sure. But Liu Xing quickly thought of a new method: no taxation does not mean that it cannot be monopolized. The absence of taxation does not mean that monopoly operation is not allowed......

Thinking of this, Liu Xing waved his hand to stop Su Quan and Lei Zhen from continuing to argue, and then said: "Taxes cannot be collected, but salt, grain, iron, tea, wine, vinegar and alum, as well as saltpeter, coal, and other things must be controlled. ”

Without allowing Su Quan to speak, Liu Xing paused slightly and continued: "In this way, Su Quan, you issue an order in my name to call on the aborigines of the valley to form a salt industry society and specialize in selling salt. In terms of pricing, the Marshal's Office will set the price uniformly. In the salt industry society, the public account of the marshal's office must account for more than sixty percent of the shares. In this way, the price of salt can be controlled, and the marshal's office can get the maximum input from the operation of salt. ”

After hearing this, Su Quan's face softened a little and said: "This is a good way, not to collect taxes, but still to make the Marshal's Mansion public account get more income than taxes from the marketing of salt." In addition, the gathering of scattered households can also form a strong strength in future marketing, I agree. ”

Seeing that he did not object, Liu Xingdao: "Grain is the foundation of the people, and agriculture is the root of the country." Later in the marshal's palace, we will need to set up a new yamen to be in charge of grain and agriculture. In the future, all the grains produced in this grain will be priced uniformly and purchased by the government. Foreign grain can only be traded through grain banks and grain cooperatives jointly run by the government and businessmen.

Iron is the foundation of soldiers, and iron cannot be let go. So, you have to go and discuss with Wang Mingde, and together you can get an iron franchise division. As for tea, wine, and vinegar, they must all be set up as tea houses, wine cellars, wine houses, and vinegar shops jointly run by the government and businessmen, and they must be controlled and guaranteed, and the most important thing is to enable the public accounts to be able to make some purchases in the name of taxation. ”

At this point, he stopped slightly, and Liu Xing thought for a while and said: "Also, once my orders are executed, there will be people who smuggle salt, grain and iron, don't kill them at every turn." Anyone who carries 10 catties of smuggled salt from a non-official account shall be fined 20 times the price of the salt. If you don't have any money, throw them directly into your craftsman's camp to be forced labor, and pay them with labor in lieu of fines. All other franchises are subject to this law. ”

Hearing this, Su Quan said with a wicked smile on his face: "Hehe, the marshal's substitution of punishment for killing is a good way." I'm still worried that the craftsman for the sixth battalion is not enough, as soon as you come out with this method, hehe, I hope there are more people who take risks. ”

What kind of generals, what kind of soldiers to bring out. During this period of time, Liu Xing has been a full "treacherous person" and "rogue skin" spokesperson in Jin Jun. Su Quan, who was following Liu Xing's side, also became fickle and resourceful at this time.

As he was smirking, suddenly a couple of children ran out of the corner of the street. The children chased each other with paper-folded kites in their hands, and as soon as they came to Liu Xing, a child pounced in front of Liu Xing.

"Marshal Liu, Marshal Liu, do you think the windmill my uncle made for me is good? As long as you blow a breath, this windmill will 'whirring' and spinning! A child whose father was the head of the guard camp pounced on Liu Xing's legs, and then raised the windmill in his hand and asked Liu Xing obediently.

Bending down and gently scraping on the child's nose, Liu Xing smiled: "Well, it's very good, it's fun, you guys have fun, don't fall to fight for this windmill." Uncle has something to do here, go play, don't pester uncle. ”

When the kid heard this, he turned around and shouted to his friends: "Go, go, Marshal Liu doesn't have time to play with us today, let's go over there to play......"

In the past few days, although the military affairs are complicated, every time Liu Xing sees the children under him, he will happily play with these children for a while, so as to stretch his high-tension nerves. So when the remaining children ran in front of Liu Xing, they all grimaced, and then chased after the child who was the leader and quickly ran to the alley on the other side.

Just when the child at the head got into the alley and Liu Xingzhi got up and saw the big trees on Dongshan dǐng being swept out of the green waves by the arrogance that was constantly blowing all year round, an idea flashed suddenly: Children can play with windmills, and there are countries in Europe that have grown and become strong with the support of windmills in later generations.

As soon as this idea popped up, Liu Xing immediately turned back to Su Quan and said, "Go, follow me back to the Marshal's Mansion." I'll get a pattern, and I'll help your craftsman get a threshing floor. ”

Su Quan was shocked when he heard this, and before he could speak, Liu Xing had already rushed to the direction of the Marshal's Mansion.

How would he know that as a science student, Liu Xing had pondered the windmills of that small country in the West many times in his later life. At this time, Liu Xing was going to use windmills to once again change the agricultural production and processing of agricultural products in this era. And this change is destined to greatly improve the problem of insufficient manpower in the Hunter Valley again......
