The System Made Me a Fool
Page 17
So next, in the conversation with Yan Ge, Ningke confided to Yan Ge the difficulties encountered by the merchant class in the Wei Dynasty.
Its content is nothing more than being exploited by onerous commercial taxes, being harassed by bureaucrats, discriminated by regulations, and unsupported by policies.
Yan Ge nodded while listening, which was not much different from his original idea.
In fact, in a feudal society, stable agriculture was the basis for a country's governance, but to achieve a highly developed economic system, two aspects were needed.
One is naturally productive forces, and productive forces are the foundation of social progress. There is no doubt about this. For example, agricultural tools and iron tools in the feudal economic period, steam engines and diesel engines in the era of capitalist mass production, etc. Strong productive forces are the key to a country's prosperity.
But it does not mean that with the productive forces, the economy will be able to break through naturally. If the social environment is suppressed too seriously, it will restrict the play of the new productive forces.
For example, simple weaving machines appeared in the Song and Ming Dynasties of the Celestial Dynasty, but their development momentum was restrained by the deep-rooted small-scale peasant economic thinking.
The merchant class is the key to breaking the shackles of the small peasant economy. With a strong merchant class and large-scale commercial circulation flourishing across the country, the new productive forces can have a strong impetus to promote economic development.
For Yan Ge, there are countless props in the system mall to improve national productivity, such as advanced weaving machines, advanced smelting technology, advanced transportation technology and so on.
These can strengthen the strength of Da Wei, but without the corresponding policy assistance, these props cannot maximize the effect.
Thinking of this, Yan Ge patted Ning Ke on the shoulder, and said some words of encouragement to him earnestly, and finally said: "Ning Qing, please don't leave the capital. After I solve the current difficulties of the country, the next step is to start supporting the development of business. , then there will be many places where you can be used."
Ning Ke immediately knelt down and said, "This minister's liver and brain are on the ground, and he will die!"
"Ding dong!"
After Ning Ke left, a system prompt sounded in Yan Ge's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the A-level free quest 'Selling Officials and Selling Jue', rewarded with 7000 points!"
"Ding Dong! Since the host has completed all three free tasks in this batch, an additional 20% of the points in the free task pool will be rewarded - 4000 points!"
"A new batch of free missions will open in the near future, so stay tuned."
Yan Ge was instantly delighted. He didn't expect that there would be additional rewards for completing all the free missions in the same batch. This was also a pleasant surprise.
Doing the math, he currently has more than 537819336 points. If he completes the task of "Wine Pond and Meat Forest" next, his total points will easily exceed [-] points!
At that time, the architectural drawings of the two major administrative reforms will be available, which is not too cool!
Ten days later, on the court.
Ge Jianzhang happily reported to Yan Ge the income of this sale of officials: "Your Majesty, this time, a total of 7 rank 12 officials, 8 rank 73 officials, 9 rank 255 officials, and 5 barons were sold this time. 3241, the total revenue of the treasury is [-] million taels of silver!"
As soon as this statement came out, the audience was horrified. The officials never imagined that Yan Ge's seemingly absurd and nonsense delusion would suddenly bring in more than half of the national treasury's annual income in silver. I didn't think of a good way.
Yan Ge said triumphantly: "Okay, okay, in this way, the treasury can finally be enriched."
"Big Secretary Zhang Feng."
"The minister is here!" Zhang Feng said out of the column.
"Of the more than [-] million taels of silver, [-] million taels are allocated to the national treasury. We must solve the problem of arrears of military salaries as soon as possible, and give an explanation to the soldiers who worked hard for the Great Wei to guard the border crossing and defend the Great Wei Jiangshan!"
"Your Majesty Shengming! The minister obeys the order!" Zhang Feng said excitedly.
Yan Ge found that the loyalty of Zhang Feng and Ge Jianzhang had become 100. Obviously, these two ministers had already fallen for him after this incident.
He looked at Lin Song, his old husband who had always been stubborn and conservative.
Although Lin Song did not refute in court after he announced the sale of an official last time, he was obviously very dissatisfied, and even tried to persuade Yan Ge through Lin Peiyao many times.
And now the old man Lin Song lowered his head and looked a little ashamed.
Well, this old man, although a little stubborn, the center can still learn from it, and there is still a chance to save it.
At this time, Zhang Feng asked again: "Your Majesty, what to do with the remaining [-] million taels of silver."
Chapter 36 Then You Hit It
Yan Ge said: "Where is the minister?"
A thin old man came out and said, "The minister is here."
"The more than ten million taels of silver will be allocated to you to build a wine pond and meat forest for me."
So, Yan Ge explained the beauty of the wine pond and meat forest to the ministers in court, so everyone was petrified on the spot, with a big mouth and a broken jaw.
They didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor had just made a crooked fight, and miraculously solved the financial problem through a humiliating salesman, and then wasted [-] million taels of silver to build such an extravagant thing.
Everyone was stunned for a while. Just now, Lin Song, who felt that he had misunderstood Yan Ge, was the first to take it no longer. He knelt down in court and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely unacceptable. This Lutai and Jiuchi will cost the people and money. If Your Majesty insists on building it, I'm afraid it will cause public resentment!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, a giant of ten million taels of silver can solve many other difficult financial problems. If it is used to build a palace, wouldn't it be equivalent to throwing it into the Yellow River to flow away!"
Yan Ge thought to himself, all of you idiots know nothing. My brother is to obtain points for completing tasks. After the points are exchanged for good items, let alone [-] million, hundreds of millions of silver can be earned back!
But how did he explain this to the ministers, and who would believe it?If it is explained, he is likely to change from a simple fool to a fool + a fool.
That's exactly what Zhao Benshan said: He has grown from one rib to two ends!
He doesn't know how to do this kind of stupid thing, so he has no choice but to enforce it in the form of imperial decree.
Just when everyone tried to persuade Yan Ge to no avail, a minister directly put his head on the pillar of the Golden Palace and shouted, "If Your Majesty doesn't take back his order, the minister will hit his head on this pillar!"
When everyone saw it, it turned out that it was the son of the country offering wine to Di Gang. This person is usually upright, but he is simply a stunned young man.
Yan Ge laughed in anger when he saw it. He hated being threatened the most.
But he absolutely couldn't let Di Gang die.
Because if Di Gang is really killed, the emperor will inevitably bear the infamy of being ruthless and stupid, and he will also fulfill Di Gang's image of a critique of fearless remarks.
Know that for some scholars in ancient times, fame was even more important than life.
It would be worth it to them if they could exchange their death for the praise of future generations.
In Yan Ge's eyes, this kind of person who seeks fame is even more abhorrent than simple treacherous officials and corrupt officials, because they have not done anything real, but instead do these grandstanding things to gain fame.
So Yan Ge said coldly: "Oh, yes, then you can hit it."
Di Gang was taken aback
, Unexpectedly, the emperor did not even say a word of symbolic dissuasion.
He looked at the sturdy stone pillar in the main hall, slammed his heart into it, and slammed into it.
Immediately he was bleeding, but the first hit was not fatal.
Di Gang felt dizzy, and was about to bump into it for the second time when Yan Ge suddenly said, "Su Hong, hold him down!"
Su Hong came out and clamped Di Gang firmly, and Di Gang couldn't move.
Yan Ge secretly laughed in his heart, let you bump it first, and make your scalp numb before you die, let you fight against me!
"Samurai in front of the hall, put this person into the prison, watch closely, and never let him commit suicide!"
Di Gang was slapped by Yan Ge. He was inexplicably ashamed and angry, and when he was framed out by the warriors, he shouted, "Mr. Shun! When the wine pond and meat forest are built, there will be wind and rain, and the heaven will punish you!"
Yan Ge then signaled the warriors to wait and shouted to Di Gang: "Di Gang, if the day when the wine pond and meat forest is built, not only will there be no wind and rain, but the sky will be auspicious, so what about you!"
Di Gang stared at Yan Ge without fear: "If this is the case, I, Di Gang, would like to kowtow in front of the Taiji Hall for three days to apologize!"
"Hahaha!" Yan Ge laughed loudly, "Di Gang, then you can just wait and see in the prison!"
As a result, after Zhou Han, who was arrogant and arrogant, stunned Qing Digang was also put in the Heavenly Prison. This was already Yan Ge's second high-ranking court official this month.
The minister also had to kneel to accept the imperial decree to build the wine pond and meat forest.
At this time, Yan Ge understood that the hat on his head had been put on again because of his actions today, but he had no regrets in his heart.Because just now he received a system notification, and today's detaining Di Gang has added another [-] points to him, that is, [-] points!
As long as there are points in the account, he will be cool as a fool, and it will be worth it.
It's just that Yan Ge didn't expect that his actions today would cause more criticism than his last act of selling officials and titles.
After all, selling officials and titles is nominally to enrich the treasury, while the wine pool and meat forest are purely for their own enjoyment.
Yan Ge returned to the harem and watched Daji dance for him in the Longyuan Hall in the afternoon.
All the musicians and dancers around were carefully selected stunning beauties, in the melodious and melodious sound.
At the end of the song, Daji walked over to Yan Ge and poured Yan Ge a glass of wine.
"Concubine Ai, your dancing is really like a fairy coming down to earth."
Yan Ge looked at Daji with a smile.
Chapter 37
Daji said: "Your Majesty, if you like it, this is a dance song newly rehearsed by the concubine and the maids of Zihuan Palace. I am afraid that Your Majesty will not like it!"
Yan Ge smiled and said, "Aifei's dancing is unparalleled in the world, how could I not like it!"
"Concubine Ai, I have a big gift for you in a while!"
"What gift!" Daji's jewel-like eyes widened in surprise.
Yan Ge then hugged Daji and told her about the beautiful scene of Lutai, Jiuchi, and Meat Grove, and Daji's eyes also showed the color of yearning.
"Your Majesty, this is really wonderful! Although the fine wine in the palace is good, I still feel that drinking it is not enough. If there is a word like the big wine pool you said, then the concubine can serve Your Majesty while drinking."
Daji glanced at Yan Ge coquettishly, a beautiful blush appeared on her jasper-like face, as if she was already drunk.
But when Yan Ge was in a state of confusion, he suddenly felt a pain in his right waist. He turned his head and saw that Queen Lin Peiyao had come to him.
"Your Majesty, you are drinking and having fun with this demon girl again!" Lin Peiyao said with a small mouth after pinching the soft flesh around Yan Ge's waist.
"Empress, come and come, let's drink together." Yan Ge smiled and hugged Lin Peiyao, wanting to hug and enjoy the blessings of Qi people.
Unexpectedly, Lin Peiyao didn't give him a good look, but scolded: "Your Majesty, I already know what happened in the court today. I didn't expect you to spend a lot of money to build a wine pond and meat forest for this demon girl. This is really inappropriate. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
Yan Ge scratched his head and supported his forehead. Although his queen was said to be beautiful and virtuous, sometimes she was too virtuous.
Whenever he wanted to indulge in pleasure, Lin Peiyao would always speak out to discourage her.
"Hey, I said Queen, Your Majesty wants to build a wine pond and meat forest for me, what are you worrying about, are you jealous!"
Daji said rudely.
"You!" Lin Peiyao was angry when Daji said so.
In the harem, only Da Ji, who was much loved by Yan Ge, dared to speak to her queen like this.
