Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

Shen Wansan paused, and continued, "Besides, Master Liu, I also want to do it with you! It's fun to do it with you to make money!"

Liu Xiu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! After that, I will put more thoughts on my home!"

Liu Zhiji and Shen Wan were overjoyed when they heard the words, "Okay!"

"Hey! Are you all here?!"

The three of them were chatting when a tall figure pushed the door open,

"Greetings to His Highness King Yan!" The three people in the room hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The fourth child saw the roast goose on the table at a glance, picked up the wine in his hand, and smiled boldly,

"Okay! It just so happens that I still have wine! I have meat and wine, let's go!"

Liu Zhiji and Shen Wansan exchanged glances in the dark, and it was natural that King Yan came at this time to share the money.

"Then let's retreat first..."

"Retire for what? You leave as soon as I come? Are you not giving me face?" The fourth child held the two of them one by one from left to right, and said angrily, "Drink with me here!"

"Yes... Your Highness."

Chapter 126

"Sir, the finances have skyrocketed in the past few months. All of this is thanks to you. Thank you for your kindness. I will do it first!"

The fourth child didn't say a word, he just finished half the jug of the wine he brought over, and then burped loudly.

"Your Highness is serious, I am just doing a little favor, and it has to be His Highness..."

"Hey! Let's not talk about those polite words! Sir, you are preparing for the imperial examination, and I can directly arrange for you to be the first in the provincial examination, so you don't need to spend too much time reading these things!"

Liu Xiu shook her head, "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness. Even if you can pass the provincial examination, you will not be able to do anything wrong in the general examination and palace examination. If you don't have real talents, you will be exposed sooner or later. I'll let myself pass whatever I can pass in the examination..."

"If Mister doesn't have real talent and learning, then who has real talent and learning?!"

The fourth child was a little aggrieved, but he didn't mention the matter of helping Liu Xiu cheat.

After all, when the imperial examination came to the imperial examination, even the vassal kings could not intervene, and the imperial examinations of the southerners and the northerners were very noisy, so it was better not to cause trouble.

"Your Highness came to see me in his busy schedule, not just for drinking."

The fourth child scratched his head embarrassingly, "Hey, I just came to chat with my husband, there's nothing to hold back."

Liu Xiu looked at the fourth child with a half-smile, "Okay, let's chat."

"Um... that's right!" The fourth tiger's eyes were bright, "Sir, I have sent people to clear all the roads in Yandi now, and there should be none of the little thieves around."

Liu Xiu was a little startled. The land of Yan was huge, and in just a few months, he had almost done these two things, and the fourth child was quite efficient.

"Yes, I thought it would take a year and a half."

"Isn't it autumn now? We're busy threshing grain, and the Tartars are also busy feeding the cattle and sheep. If the autumn fat on the cattle and sheep doesn't stick to it, it won't be a good winter. So, this Years and months are the most peaceful times."

Liu Xiu nodded. The ancients did have this habit of fighting wars. If it was an important moment of farming, they would basically just stop fighting if they could.

After all, it’s good to fight for a while, and whoever is hungry afterwards will suffer,

The first emperor's political brother, who worked hard regardless of the season, made it impossible for everyone to plant land, which was also an important reason for the world's anti-Qin.

"Your Highness, is there one more thing?"

The fourth child lowered his voice and said, "I'm doing it secretly now. I have to say that those Yuan Dynasty post stations are really well built. They are still very strong after so many years. They just need a little repair. Anyway, they are much better than what we have built now. gone."

"That's right," Liu Xiu nodded, "Looking at all the dynasties, the buildings of the Tang and Yuan dynasties are the strongest."

The fourth child was a little puzzled, "Oh? Why?"

Liu Zhiji and Shen Wansan on the side couldn't help leaning forward, they had never heard of this saying before,

"The buildings of the Tang Dynasty are large and stable, absorbing the essence of the previous dynasty, and they are also worthy of prosperity, with both beauty and sturdiness."

"The reason why the buildings in the Yuan Dynasty were solid is because the Yuan Dynasty respected craftsmen the most. The craftsmen were treated well, and the things they made naturally were also good."

"By the way, Your Highness, what happened to those firecrackers?"

When the fourth child heard this, he became as excited as a big horse monkey, "Sir, those blueprints have already started to be produced! After they are produced, I will form an army fully equipped with bursting firecrackers!"

Thinking about it, Liu Xiu couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat at the scene where people from the Yuan Dynasty came on horseback and hundreds of shirtless men swept across with AKs.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, the fourth child rubbed his hands together and said, "Well, sir, is it time for our company to divide the money? How are we going to divide the money?"

The fourth child had already told Liu Xiu that he would hand over all the earning in Yandi to Liu Xiu, so now he could only look at Liu Xiu pitifully like a child waiting for pocket money.

Needless to say how much it cost to raise soldiers, the road construction that Liu Xiu explained was also a bottomless pit of burning money, so even though the income was very high in the past few months, the money flowed out without being warmed up in the hands of the fourth child.

Liu Xiu didn't hide it either, "Your Highness, I plan to give His Majesty [-]% this time, Yan land [-]%, and Wu land [-]%."

"Giving so much to dad?" The fourth child frowned slightly, and muttered, "This old man doesn't do anything, how can he still get so much money?"

Hearing this, the three of Liu Xiu hurriedly looked at the sky and the ground, they could only pretend that they didn't hear what the fourth child said at all.

Good guy, the fourth child weighs about 150 kilograms, and the body needs to be more than 140 kilograms, and the rest is bad water.

"Well, ahem, Your Highness, this matter has to be supported by His Majesty, so we can continue to do it..."

The fourth child was a bit aggressive, "That can't be so much!"

In fact, the fourth child doesn't know how much money has been sent to Liu's residence in the past few months, but he knows that there is a lot of money!

Liu Xiu could only bend down and whisper a few words into the fourth son's ear, and the cloud on the fourth son's face swept away, and he immediately smiled.

"Hahaha, sir is right! Dad is old and works hard day and night. As a son, I should be filial to him!"

Liu Zhiji and Shen Wansan looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Liu Xiu had given the fourth child.

However, it looks like it works pretty well.

"Your Highness, thirty percent is not too little."

"Oh? By the way, your Liu family also contributed to this matter, why didn't you see your share?"

Liu Xiu smiled, "The Liu family has earned enough, so there is no need to divide it."

The fourth child took a deep look at Liu Xiu when he heard the words, and couldn't help but give Liu Xiu a higher opinion in his heart. It seems that the cooperation with the Liu family can last for a long time!

With such a sensible partner, there is no need to worry about Lao Zhu suddenly slaughtering pigs...

"Speaking of which, I still don't know how much profit I made in the past few months." Liu Xiu smiled and looked at Liu Zhiji, "Uncle, how much money have we made?"

Liu Zhiji took out the ledger that he carried with him, and he remembered every amount in and out of it very carefully, but the uncle didn't give the ledger to Liu Xiu, but handed it to the fourth child.

The fourth child took over the account book, just glanced at it, and couldn't help but praise,

"It's such a clear recording method, even if I don't understand it, I can understand it at a glance!"

"Haha, Your Highness, these are the Arabic numerals Erlang taught us. After using these numbers to keep accounts, it becomes much clearer."

The fourth child nodded, and looked at it attentively. Liu Zhiji was very serious in his work. Even if Jin Yiwei got the account book, he couldn't find any faults.

The fourth child turned over page by page until the last page, his eyes widened suddenly, he lost his voice,

"Now there are 8000 million taels?! My dear mother!!! This is the tax revenue of Ming Dynasty for three years!!!"

Liu Xiu was also a little dazed, just selling salt, and in just a few months, he earned three years of Ming Dynasty's taxes? !

Is the combination of Liu Zhiji and Shen Wansan so brutal in making money? !

Chapter 127

No wonder even Zhu Di couldn't hold back anymore.

In the past few months, the fourth child knew that the sale of salt was very lucrative, but he never thought it would be so big.

Even Liu Xiu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. During the Hongwu period, the annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only 500 million taels in silver. Looking at the peak tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, it was only 3000 million taels.

This is still in the case of Zhang Juzheng's promotion of a whip method,

Is it more than 3000 million taels?Few, very few really.

You know, the annual tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty can easily reach [-] million taels of silver. Even if the depreciation speed of money is taken into account, the tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are the same.

The tax revenue of the previous dynasty may not be as high as that of the Ming Dynasty, but such as the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, they did not have such a large territory and population as the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in general, the Ming Dynasty was the poorest dynasty in Chinese history.

It is also the only dynasty that destroyed the country because of poverty!

Old Zhu naturally knew that Daming was poor. He thought it was because there were too many corrupt officials that farmers had no money in their pockets and taxes could not be collected, so Daming was poor.

Old Zhu also educated the young Zhus in this way. After being influenced by old Zhu, the fourth child also felt from the bottom of his heart that the reason why Daming had no money was because the people had no money in their pockets.

But in just a few months, 8000 million taels of salt have been sold. What kind of concept is this?In other words, people have money in their pockets!And there are many more!

"Where... where did this money come from?" the fourth child murmured, completely confused.

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, "So get ready and distribute 4000 million taels to His Majesty."

Liu Zhiji and Shen Wan nodded together.

"Your Highness, I brought him here." Li Wenzhong walked into the room carrying a person, and Liu Xiu took a closer look, and found that this person was Yao Guangxiao.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao had been adjusted to look like a human being, and the fourth Taoist robe was temporarily put on for him, so that he would not spoil the eyes of the master.

After such an interruption, the fourth child no longer delved into where the money came from, and what to do with such a complicated matter, anyway, wouldn't it be enough if Yandi had money?

"Dao Yan, come here." The fourth waved his hand, calling Yao Guangxiao to come and sit down.

A look of gratitude flashed in Yao Guangxiao's eyes,

Originally, after the ransacking of the house, the fourth child locked Yao Guangxiao up for a period of time according to Liu Xiu's wishes, but Liu Xiu forgot about him.

The fourth brother sneered at Liu Xiu, "Sir, this man must see you again. He is crying and howling all day long. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I brought him here to see you. But if Mr. doesn't want to see you, I will leave immediately." Take him down!"

Liu Xiu waved her hand, "No problem."

Then he looked at Yao Guangxiao, covered the Four Books and Five Classics casually, and said with a smile, "What do you want me to do?"

Although Yao Guangxiao was unkempt, he couldn't hide the light in his eyes, "Liu Xiu..."

Snapped!

Yao Guangxiao's big bald head was slapped severely by Li Wenzhong. Li Wenzhong shouted angrily, "Can you call Master Liu's name?"
