I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3376 Finance

"Currently we have discussed some plans." The person standing out here is Prime Minister Tyrard. It has to be said that Tyrard is now a lot more courageous. At least for now, he probably sees that Linton is quite fond of him. If you indulge, you won't kill him at every turn.

No one else dared to submit this proposal. After all, this was Linton's "great achievement". But Prime Minister Tyrard has always been promoting and supporting. It can be said to be quite bold.

Of course, because of this, Tyrard's reputation among the ministers was quite high at this time. After all, there were really not many officials who dared to be so bold in front of Linton. Or to be precise, there were not many alive and not many dead. few.

Seeing Linton's lack of reaction, Tyrard continued: "At present, I think the more suitable plan is... enfeoffment."

"Enfeoffment?" Linton frowned. When it came to enfeoffment, Linton's first reaction was some rubbish proposal.

After all, historically speaking, the enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty this week has become a negative lesson. The greatest achievement of the Emperor Zhengge who was born out of nowhere was the abolition of feudalism, which united the Chinese nation into one country. If it hadn't been for him, there might not be many countries in China now.

So now that you are encircling the whole group, can Linton continue to watch?

Perhaps seeing that Linton was not supportive, Tyrard here quickly explained: "Your Majesty, we don't have much control over those territories. If we manage them ourselves, the consumption will be too high, and our empire's finances cannot support it. It's better to leave it to others to govern. As long as we control the appointment of the new ruler, we can still have a certain degree of control."

It is obvious that Tyrad means to confer vassal states, and the places that are separated are vassal states of the empire.

However, although it seems that the empire has the power of appointment and the greatest power to decide who the ruler is, the problem is... Linton knows that this seemingly perfect method will sooner or later cause problems.

If this were really that simple, would Emperor Zhou still be ignored? You said you have this appointment power, do you have it? Among the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, which one of them really wanted the Emperor of Zhou to nominate them? If you haven't already ascended the throne, let's say hello to Emperor Zhou.

Of course, although Linton can see the problem, how to solve the problem is the key.

However, this issue only bothered Linton for a few seconds, because the next second Linton said that it was too troublesome and he was too lazy to think about it.

MD was affected by the atmosphere at the scene and Linton really started to think seriously. Wasn't he trying to get into trouble? It made him seem like he really wanted to be the emperor.

"What a great idea!" Linton decisively agreed in the next second, "The prime minister is indeed the pillar of the country. I didn't expect that he could come up with such a constructive plan."

"Uh... Your Majesty, do you really think so?" Although his proposal was approved by Linton, Tyrard still asked with some hesitation.

"Of course, I like that you are so good at doing things." Linton nodded, "Then I will leave this matter to you. You can just keep an eye on how to divide it."

"Uh... yes, Your Majesty." Tyrard felt a little strange. Linton agreed to this so easily? He felt that this was Linton's "great achievement" after all, and he thought Linton would object. He had prepared a lot of excuses to dissuade Linton, but it seemed that most of them were useless.

This feeling... I don't know why it's still a bit uncomfortable. "By the way, you just said that the empire has financial problems? Is our country very poor now?" Linton suddenly asked again.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to report on this point." Tyrad here said again, "There are indeed some problems with the current empire's finances. The main reason is that the expenditure part is now quite huge, and the income part, we are currently The territory we control has not been fully converted into income. The main part of our current expenditure is the funds we have received from other countries.”

Linton nodded. Tyrard didn't say anything he snatched was a more civilized statement. This means that the empire still has money now, after all, I robbed such a large amount of money before.

But the problem now is that the robbery is a one-time thing, and the empire's finances should be in a state of overall deficit, unable to make ends meet. Although the national treasury is rich, it cannot continue like this, right? One day it will be empty.

"On this point, I would also like to propose to His Majesty that the royal family form a chamber of commerce." Tyrard said.

"Royal Chamber of Commerce?" Linton was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Tyrad meant. Now it is better to put the stolen money in the treasury and use it to build a chamber of commerce to continue making money. If money begets money, it will not be a waste of money.

So you can see how reliable this prime minister is. Although he encountered a lot of problems, he really thought about them and had solutions.

"Oh oh oh, this thing is done very well, you go and do it." Linton continued to nod.

"Then... I don't know how much money Your Majesty is willing to put out as principal. I might as well have an estimate here," Tyrard said.

"What? It's just a business, do you need capital?" Linton asked with a surprised look on his face.

"????" Tyrard here looked at Linton in confusion. It can only be said that what Linton said was so shocking, and he looked so matter-of-fact. Whether it was him or Linton who had a problem, Tyrard was a little doubtful for a moment.

"No, this is a chamber of commerce, and you want me to pay for it myself?" Linton asked.

"But... but... generally speaking, it's necessary." Tyrad said, he didn't even know where to start explaining.

"Well, you find a businessman and let him work for us. Just let him out of the capital and so on. Can he still have any objections?" Linton said matter-of-factly.

"..." Tyrard looked at Linton and didn't know what to say, Your Majesty, are you a human being? What is the purpose of letting people bring their own property to help you work?

"Trying to survive." Although Tyrad didn't say anything, Linton still directly answered the question in Tyrard's heart, "No one told me that all the merchants in the empire are leeks, and they can grow on their own. I can still cut myself. If they are so self-aware, why would they be willing to die if they don’t want to do the work for me?”

"Uh..." I have to say that although Linton's words were a bit subversive, Tyrard couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

"Anyway, that's it. You make an announcement or something, summon a few big businessmen, and talk to them about this matter. Those who are willing to help me stay for free, and the others will collect a wave of leeks first." Linton said, " Go ahead and do it.”
