I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 199 Anyone who makes money in the country should be hacked into pieces!

Guo Yi's words seemed to weigh heavily on Pei Xidao's heart.

Yes, in the big cities, singing and dancing are peaceful, but in the remote areas, the people live in dire straits.

I must have not been out of the capital for ten years... It's been so long that I have forgotten the suffering of the people...

"Fortunately, Mr. Pei is not the inspector of Kuizhou Road and Jinghu South Road. That is the real purgatory on earth! It is ten times and a hundred times better than here!" Guo Yi saw his gloomy face, and continued to spray his wound. Take a pinch of salt.

Yes, this is true of Jinghu North Road, where various drought-resistance strategies are frequently used, so Kuizhou Road and Jinghu South Road may be even more difficult.

"Ah...!" Pei Xidao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, turned to look at him, and asked curiously: "I heard that Fuxing Company has been selling new Luoyang shovels to Kuizhou Road?"

Haha!

Guo Yi laughed at his question, and raised his eyebrows strangely: "Only about one-fifth of our new Luoyang shovels on Jinghu North Road are issued by the appeasement envoy, and more of them are used as fans." Use it in this way, and let the subordinate counties and villages take it as an example and build it accordingly.

And more, all of them were built by the subordinate counties and villages.

But at Fuxing Company, if you fold all his belongings in, how many new Luoyang shovels can they make?

A drop in the bucket!A drop in the bucket! "

Pei Xidao was sunk again. He shook his head in deliberation and said, "No matter what, the [-]% spring tax reduction is not feasible! The relationship between this matter is too great!"

[-]% of the spring tax on the entire Jinghu North Road, how much is that?
If he is tracked down by the court, he will be beheaded and exiled!
"Then what Xianggong Pei means is that after we pay less than [-]% of the spring tax on Jinghu North Road, you officials will not be able to get this year's salary?"

ridicule!

Naked mockery!

Haha, Pei Xidao smiled wryly: "Erlang doesn't need to attack each other with such words, this matter has a lot to do with it, I'm sorry I can't follow it!

Moreover, you can think of other ways to dig ditches, not because of these spring taxes!Don't you have restaurants and papermaking skills? You can rest assured that you can use the money that comes from the right path.

Erlang, just listen to the old man's advice, you are still young, don't go astray! "

It's still a crooked path, I've already gone astray, and I've even instigated people to kill people and rob food!

He knew that Xianggong Pei was also kind.But good intentions, you can't get the money
"Could it be that, do you think that these spring taxes will be stuffed into our own pockets? Your Highness emptied the treasury in order to fight the drought!

If we wanted to fill our own pockets, we wouldn't have worked so hard to fight the drought!
Why don't you go to Kuizhou Road and see how those grain merchants make money?
To put it bluntly, it is called to store up grain as a surprise; to put it bluntly, that is to make a fortune for the country!
Zheng dead money!They should all be hacked to pieces! "

As a five-good young man in the new century, he rarely swears, but this time he really couldn't help it.

And what he said, Pei Xianggong didn't know.Just, what can he do?
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty was under one person and above tens of thousands.And the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

To be exact, there is no such position as prime minister!

From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's courtesy to the prime minister was gradually downgraded, until Zhou Taizu abolished the ritual of "sitting and discussing", which greatly reduced the status of the prime minister.

The emperor was afraid that the prime minister would have too much power, so he appointed many prime ministers.When it is less, one or two, and when it is more, two or three.

The official name of the prime minister is "Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi", and the deputy is Shenzhizhengshi.

There are two prime ministers. The prime minister is called Shangshu Zuopushe and Menxia Shilang, and the second prime minister is called Shangshu Youpushe and Zhongshu Shilang;

The actual power belongs to the "Zhongshumenxia" organization, also known as Zhengshitang, Dutang, etc., which manages state administrative affairs.

In addition, the administrative power is divided with Shen Zhizhengshi as the deputy prime minister.The Privy Council is the highest military institution in the central government, and the executive is the Privy Envoy. Together with the Political Affairs Hall, they are called the East and West "Two Mansions". "

In other words, the power of the prime minister was greatly apportioned.

And he is just a deputy prime minister... He really doesn't have much right to speak.

After Guo Yi finished speaking, Pei Xidao remained silent, just staring blankly ahead with a heavy heart.

Just like an old tortoise, it does not eat soft and hard food, and does not eat firewood and rice.

Guo Yi felt a little headache, knowing that the plan to reduce the spring tax was shattered, but he was still a little unwilling, so he changed the subject and said, "Pei Xianggong came all the way from Beijing, how do you feel along the way?"

How do you feel?

Pei Xidao's first reaction was, isn't this kid digging holes for himself again?

When dealing with him, you have to be extremely careful, otherwise you will fall into a pit if you are not careful.

Being cautious, he didn't answer, but asked instead: "What does Erlang mean by what he said?"

"The Xinzhou Uprising has been going on for more than half a year since last year, and it has not yet subsided. This year, it is worse. There is a severe drought on Kuizhou Road, a severe drought on Jingbei Road, and a severe drought on Jingnan Road.

These disasters one after another have caused food prices to skyrocket.The soaring price of food has led to the unsalability of other items.It's a chain reaction.

For example, hemp silk, Kuizhou Road, Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road are rich in green hemp and ramie.

Because of this, many people make a living by making hemp silk and weaving cloth.

The soaring price of grain has led to unsalable hemp silk.As a result, many people who make a living on this have no way of living, and selling their houses and land is just around the corner. "

Standing aside, Pei Ruyu suddenly asked, "Why does the soaring food price lead to unsalable sales of other items?"

When Pei Xidao heard his question, he couldn't help but want to cover his face, it's embarrassing!Such a simple question, I don't even know it.

But despite the embarrassment, I was still a little relieved. I still knew to ask when I didn't understand, and I knew how to actively think about the problem.

There should be a cure for it.

"Because the price of food is high, the money in your hands is only enough to buy food. It doesn't matter whether you have other things, even if you can't afford clothes and bare buttocks, it's better than starving to death!"

Lier is such a rationale, but isn't your statement a bit too vulgar?
"Oh, that's it!" Pei Ruyu nodded knowingly, then turned to look at him, and asked curiously: "If this is the case, then do you have a solution?"

Even Pei Xianggong was very curious about this question.He has thought about this problem more than once, but it seems that there is no solution...

"no!"

Guo Yi is very straightforward.

It's not that there are no solutions, but that all solutions to the problem are blocked.This road is blocked, the road is blocked.

Hearing this, Pei Ruyu couldn't help frowning, and then asked, "Why not?"

"Because food is different from other things, it belongs to the necessities of life, if you don't eat it, you will die!
Either sell the house and sell the land to raise money to buy food, or wait to die, there is no third choice! "

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Mr. Pei, smiled brightly, and added: "Actually, there is a third option, Mr. Pei, do you want to hear it?"
