Chapter 280 Resolving Debt
"How about my son?" The emperor left all the attendants outside as soon as he entered the door, and the cloth bag in his hand was the one that Yao Yun handed over before.

"Thank you for your concern, the king is fine." Yao Yun stood and saluted the emperor.

"Ah Xing, it's cold outside, take those people to the side hall to warm up the fire, save yourself from freezing, this king has something to talk to His Majesty."

"Yes, master." Ah Xing saluted and walked out.

The emperor couldn't see through his son's actions, but he knew that in such an environment, he was the safest, and it was also suitable for talking about some secret topics.

"Your Majesty, sit down." Yaoyun walked to the table, then stretched out his hand to signal, and said with his eyes looking at the emperor who was looking at him.

But the emperor didn't know how to describe his son, and he didn't know how to treat him. If he could, he was just accommodating.

The emperor put the things in his hands on the table, sat down, looked at Yao Yun who also sat down on the other side, and thought about what his son wanted to say to him.

Yao Yun took out a booklet from his sleeve and put it on the table, then pushed the booklet in front of the emperor, didn't say anything, just sat there quietly, looking out the window.

The emperor looked at Yaoyun who was sitting across from him, and then glanced at the notebook in front of him, he was not in a hurry to pick up the notebook and read it.

"Do you need to close the window? You are not in good health. If you catch cold..." the emperor said slowly.

"No, it's fine." Yaoyun refused, still looking out the window.

The emperor didn't say anything more, picked up the folder on the table and put it in front of his eyes.

The word "decision" was printed on the cover of the booklet.

Turning to the first page, the word "disaster relief" catches the eye. After all, this period of time has revolved around these two words, and it is difficult to ignore them.

The disaster relief supplies were converted into silver taels, totaling 980 taels of gold, of which the main contributors were 960 million taels of gold from the Fangxianghe Chamber of Commerce, and 600 million taels of gold from the Nanlin Caravan. There is no customs clearance fee for all goods in the country, and the tax will be reduced by one level within five years to offset this debt.

Huaiyang, Jiangling, Liancheng, Jinyang, and Tongcheng, the richest men in these five cities each have 500 million taels of gold, and they agreed with others that Dayun will not charge customs clearance fees within ten years, and the tax will be reduced by [-]% within three years to offset this debt.

For the rest, if merchants donate 4000 taels, the customs clearance fee will be reduced for one year, and so on. You can also choose 5 taels for a ninth-rank official position, 10 taels for a sub-eighth rank, and 15 taels for a regular eighth rank.Choose one of the two.

In this way, the debt can be resolved, and there will be no worries within five years.

The emperor couldn't help shaking his hands after reading this booklet. This is nearly 9000 million taels of gold, which is ten times as much if converted into silver. In a good year, the annual income of the treasury is only 7000 to 2000 million taels of gold. After the expenses are spent, it would be good to have 1000 million left over. In some years, if there is a minor disaster, the treasury’s inventory will probably be reversed. If there is a war, the money will flow like water. Just like this year, the treasury is now Except for those antique jewelry, the silver that can be taken out is estimated to be less than [-] million taels, let alone used everywhere.

Now, all of a sudden, there is no need to take out a penny, and the gold debt of nearly 9000 million taels has disappeared, and the country has not lost anything, but can also get a good reputation
