I'm Foolish, Send The Country At The Beginning, And Become An Emperor Through The Ages

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Excuse me!" Lin Beifan smiled and said, "Ai Qing, what happened, why do you look so worried?"

"Report to Your Majesty..." He Shen cupped his hands and said with a wry smile, "Our treasury is about to run out of money. If we don't increase revenue and reduce expenditure, we won't be able to pay wages next month! So I specially informed Your Majesty about this!"

Lin Beifan was taken aback: "So fast?"

"Of course it will be soon!" He Shen said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you don't know, since you announced the recruitment, you have recruited millions of workers, and the wages paid out every month have exceeded 300,000 taels! "

"In addition to maintaining the operation of the imperial court and the army, more than 300,000 taels of silver will be paid every month! This adds up to nearly 700,000 taels of silver every month!"

"It has been two months now, and 1.4 million taels have been allocated from the national treasury, leaving less than 300,000 taels! If there is no income, the money will not be paid next month. Please check it out, Your Majesty!"

Lin Beifan asked: "What about food?"

"In terms of food, there is no problem at present!" He Shen said to Yaoyao, "Yaoyao girl has been transporting food all the time, so we have enough food, but we have no money!"

Lin Beifan asked: "What about the taxation?"

He Shen immediately reported: "Your Majesty, in terms of taxation, the monthly income is about 200,000 taels of silver!"

Lin Beifan frowned: "Why hasn't there been any change? I have sent so much money, so the business hasn't started?"

He Shen resented: "Your Majesty, you sent money, but they were reluctant to spend it and saved it all up! If the money can't be spent, where does the business come from? If there is no business, where does the tax come from?"

Lin Beifang slapped his head: "That's true! They are all hard-working people. They are used to living a hard life. The first thing they do when they earn money is to save it instead of spending it!"

"Little Hunjun, let me just say, your method won't work, will you die in the end?" Yaoyao laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is really out of money. The best way now is to send all the refugees away, and then continue to open up wasteland and connect the river when you have money! It's okay if you don't send them away, but they don't pay wages and only provide food. I believe there will be more people." A group of refugees chose to stay!" He Shen took the opportunity to offer advice.

Lin Beifan shook his head: "People can't be dismissed, and wages can't be paid less, otherwise it will affect the progress of various projects! Time is money, and I can't delay it!"

"But Your Majesty, we really have no money!" He Shen said anxiously.

At this time, Yaoyao waved to Lin Beifan: "Little Hunjun, if you are short of money, you can borrow money from me! I don't want much, just 30% interest!"

Lin Beifan was speechless, and said he didn't want much?

30 cents of interest is considered usury!

I really think he is being taken advantage of!

Lin Beifan shook his head: "No need to borrow money, I can take care of this little thing!"

Yaoyao was stunned: "How do you solve this? You have no money in the treasury, and it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. You can't make something out of nothing, right?"

"It's true that I don't have any money, but don't the common people have money?" Lin Beifan laughed and said, "I have already handed out 1.4 million taels of silver, and they have a lot of money in their hands!"

Yaoyao turned her head: "Don't tell me, you want to snatch it?"

Lin Beifan shook his head: "How could I do such a crazy thing! I have a way to make them hand over the money willingly and impatiently!"

Both Yaoyao and He Shen were stunned.

How could there be such a way?

Lin Beifan asked: "He Aiqing, let me ask you, did you keep the iron slag left over from forging?"

He Shen bowed and said: "I obeyed His Majesty's orders, the iron slag left over from forging was not disposed of casually, but kept, and now it has piled up into a mountain!"

"Okay!" Lin Beifan nodded in satisfaction: "What about the limestone?"

"Your Majesty, the limestone has been mined all the time, and now it has piled up into a mountain!"

"Not bad!" Lin Beifan nodded in satisfaction again: "With clay and silt, everything works!"

Lin Beifan stood up and yelled, "Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are waiting for you!"

After a while, the eunuchs came over with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Lin Beifan picked up the brush and started to write on the paper.

Yaoyao and He Shen couldn't stand watching it.

After a while, He Shen couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Lin Beifan put down his brush and said with a smile, "I'm going to make cement and build a house!"

"Cement? Build a house?" Both of them were dumbfounded.
