wealthy lord

Chapter 834 Take it from the people and use it for the people

Lin Biao pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial that I have just compiled. Please take a look at it!"

Lin Yun took the book and glanced at it, nodded and said: "Not bad! I didn't expect that our Fengyang County has great potential! The entire 20 million taels of silver were actually loaned out!"

Lin Biao smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, this new policy you proposed is really great! In the short term, it is indeed effective! But can the money be recovered? What if these small merchants escape with their money? good?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! Now there are my people in the entire Daduan Dynasty, and they can't escape! In addition, I asked you to establish a tax department and a bank as soon as possible. How about it?"

Lin Biao trembled all over and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"This... is still in the preparation stage! I hope the prince will forgive me!"

Lin Yun gradually frowned and said with a gloomy face: "Elder Lin Biao, you should know that this king has a short temper. If you dare to be lazy and negligent in government under my nose, the consequences will not be something you can bear!"

Lin Biao took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and explained: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's not that I don't want to do my job, but that I really can't find a suitable candidate! The first is the Taxation Department. I recruit from across the county and give The salary is 10,000 taels of silver per year, but there are very few people who meet the conditions!”

The tax department has a very heavy job. It must always keep an eye on the business conditions of the merchants who have previously lent money. Although it is tax-free for three years, the Lin family will not watch them lose money. If it really doesn't work, the Lin family tax department and the bank must intervene.

Lin Biao continued: "There are also banks. This department is the biggest headache for the little old man. According to the loan policy formulated by the prince, the recruited workers must be able to flexibly control every detail of the policy, and they must also understand those who apply for loans. Only in this way can we accurately determine whether it meets the loan requirements! Hey, I’ll tell you the truth, my hair has turned a lot gray in the past two months and I couldn’t sleep all night!”

Seeing that the little old man felt wronged like a little daughter-in-law, Lin Yun almost stopped laughing and coughed softly: "Okay! I have wronged you! However, you must learn to find problems and solve them instead of complaining. ! In fact, the responsibilities of a bank are similar to that of a bank. The Great Elder can try to see if we can integrate the bank and the bank!"

Lin Biao slowly shook his head: "How is this possible? All the banknotes currently circulating in the market of Daduan Shen Dynasty come from banks! And banks are directly under the Ministry of Accounts of the imperial court! Unless the prince can convince the Ministry of Accounts to issue a decree... "

Lin Yun touched his chin and murmured: "I will consider this matter!"

Fulin'an, the Minister of Household Affairs, was his money bag. As long as Lin Yun opened his mouth, Fulin'an would probably agree immediately.

But the problem is that Lin Yun's current policies in Fengyang County are just pilot projects. Only if the pilot projects are successful can he use the court to vigorously promote them.

"However, even if it is difficult, the supervision cannot be relaxed. Those elders of the Lin family who are just eating all day are arranged to go out! Elders who can meet the job requirements can be given a higher salary, but if they are incompetent or are cheating, they will be expelled directly. Remove them from their positions as elders!”

"Little old man, I obey!!"

Lin Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he had thought of this method a long time ago, but he was unwilling to take the initiative because if he told it, he would definitely offend the elders.

But Lin Yun was different. He was not only King Fengyang, but also the regent of the imperial court. No one dared to disobey his orders.

At this time, Lin Yun looked at Lin Fuling and Jiang Kun and said angrily: "Why are you two still standing there? Do you still expect me to ask questions one by one?"

Lin Fuling smiled awkwardly, cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to the prince, according to your instructions, the Lin family's 200,000-strong army has been divided into three major military regions and three major services!"

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Jiang Kun and signaled Jiang Kun to speak. Lin Yun had been observing the two of them, and naturally noticed Lin Fuling's little movements, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Originally, when he came back this time, he planned to remove Lin Fuling and then find a reason to get rid of him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fuling actually woke up and got along very well with Jiang Kun.

The two work together flawlessly.

During Lin Yun's absence, they carried out large-scale military training, completely in accordance with the standards of Niubei Village's private army.

The combat effectiveness of the Lin family's 200,000 master army doubled.

In addition, Jiang Kun had repeatedly interceded for Lin Fuling intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Yun was also willing to give this face, allowing Jiang Kun to establish prestige and at the same time make Lin Fuling owe him a favor.

Therefore, the mistakes Lin Fuling made before were avoided.

Jiang Kun coughed lightly: "Well... Your Majesty, although the Lin Family Army has been re-divided into three major military regions and services, if they are stationed in the southeast and west directions of Fengyang County according to the method you proposed before, what will be provided in the future? Supplies will be very difficult! Moreover, there are no defenses on the east and west wings. If a hundred thousand troops were to suddenly launch a march, there would be a big mess! "

When they learned about Lin Yun's crazy military reform policy, they were really shocked.

All along, the Lin family's 200,000 troops have been stationed near Yulin City and the fortress of Zhennanguan to guard against the Panda Royal Court in the south.

But now that the troops are suddenly dispersed, they need to bear huge risks. If something goes wrong, the 100,000 troops stationed on the east and west wings are likely to starve to death, or fail to manage in a timely manner and cause a mutiny.

After all, the east and west wings of Fengyang County are barren and barren. There are very few villages, let alone any sizable cities.

Lin Yun stood up and lifted the black cloth behind him. He had made several marks on the map of Fengyang County posted on the wall with a cinnabar pen.

"I have already considered what you are worried about! Therefore, I plan to build a city similar to Qingcheng in the east wing, that is, Donglin Ridge. It can be used to station troops and transport supplies in peacetime. In time of war, this will be The largest stronghold in the east!"

When Lin Fuling heard this bold and crazy idea, he took a breath and looked at Lin Yun in disbelief.

Lin Biao frowned and said: "Your Majesty, more than half of the 200 million silver you brought back from the previous battle was used by you for military production, so we don't have much silver left to use! We still have to leave some for acquisitions Next year’s food…”

Lin Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! This time we build a Qingcheng-level city in Donglin Ridge without a penny from the Lin family!"

Jiang Kun was confused: "Is the prince joking? If the Lin family doesn't pay, can this city grow out of the ground?"

Lin Yunwan said: "When it comes to the people's livelihood in Fengyang County, it is natural to take it from the people and use it for the people!"
