Chapter 627 The Queen 5


Chapter 627 Queen Prince 5

Slowly, Linlang followed the previous plan and asked the court to use treasure banknotes when purchasing materials. Then, after all the royal merchants use treasure banknotes to trade, they can use treasure banknotes to pay taxes. , this move really made the imperial merchants willing to use treasure banknotes. After all, as long as they can pay taxes, the treasure banknotes will still be useful.

Before this, the ministers of the imperial court might have objected to the use of treasure banknotes to pay taxes, but now that the trust of treasure banknotes has been almost established, the ministers will no longer object to the use of treasure banknotes to pay taxes. If you can't use the money, go to the bank to exchange for supplies, and then exchange the supplies for gold, silver, and copper.

In fact, the ministers really didn’t expect that the treasure bank created by the little emperor would really stand firm and not turn into a mess. God knows they had seen him doing infrastructure construction before, and they were afraid that his stall would be too spread out. If it's too big, it will make a mess, and we need their help to clean it up.

Now that there is none, they won’t say anything.

However, some of them began to murmur in their hearts, thinking that this little emperor didn't seem stupid. After all, at such a young age, he actually saved Dayan's treasure banknotes that he had never been able to use. This is also strange. At such a young age, he has such great abilities, which should not be underestimated.

As a result, some people no longer dared to treat Linlang as a child, stopped taking her seriously, and began to take her seriously.

Fortunately, Linlang never dealt with government affairs or interfered with their interests, so they were just on guard and didn't think much about it.

Linlang already had a lot of money at this time, and even had the first batch of collateral - someone had previously loaned money from the bank in order to make money and went out to lend money.

But some people who lent money did not get their money back even if they had backgrounds. The reason was naturally that the borrowers were penniless and no matter how hard they tried to collect the debt, they could not get it back. .

And the bank will collect the money on time. These borrowers don't dare to default on the money owed to the emperor, so the rich people take out their own money and pay back the emperor's money; those who have no money but have money at home If you have a field, you will naturally mortgage the field or house to the bank.

After Linlang took these fields or houses, the houses were nothing more than that, he sold them and pulled them down.

But after collecting a certain amount of fields, Linlang will ask people to rent them near the fields and recruit some landless people to rent the fields. They will not charge any rent, as long as they can pay taxes. , but because the land deed is not in the hands of the other party, the other party only has the right to use it, not ownership, and cannot resell it.

Once I heard that no rent was charged, there were naturally many people willing to rent.

However, under Linlang's control, one person can only rent a maximum of three acres. After all, otherwise, if a lot of fields are rented by the same family, then this family will directly become landlords, so she will stop What's the point of allocating fields to different races? It's still annexation.

Because the amount of land Linlang had temporarily received was not large, this move had not alarmed the important ministers. However, the palace maids and eunuchs did not understand the significance of Linlang renting out these fields. I didn’t even charge rent. I just thought it was like what Linlang said. I felt that these fields were too scattered and too small to be cultivated by myself. However, it would be too wasteful to leave them empty, so I gave them to ordinary people who had no land to cultivate them. I didn’t doubt it. Linlang has other purposes.

After disposing of the fields and still having money in hand, Linlang planned to do other things besides infrastructure construction.

At first, the money in Linlang's hands was only enough for infrastructure construction, but now, many people came to borrow money and lend money, causing her to have more and more money. With so much money, she must use it , it is not a problem to do something meaningful and keep it in your hands all the time.

Now Linlang planned to build a ship and go to sea. While building ships and going to sea, he also trained sailors.

She told the court ministers that the purpose of building ships and going to sea was to find unclaimed overseas territories so that they could be included in the Yan Dynasty, expand the territory, and leave a name in history.

It is said that the territory around Dayan has been expanded to the point that it cannot be expanded. If we go further around, it is either a desert or a rainforest and a mountain. It is no longer easy to expand, so we will expand towards the ocean.

It is said that the ocean will definitely rise in the future, and we cannot fall behind.

Of course, this is also one of the goals, but at the same time, it is also to get more money from overseas, as well as crops such as corn and potatoes.

The reason why she had to lie was because this dynasty had no control over sea trade, and sea trade was quite prosperous. However, these sea trades were all in the hands of those high-ranking families. She wanted to say that the court wanted a share of the sea trade pie. , these ministers from high-ranking families in the court should not be wary. After all, if the court intervenes and wants to get a share of the sea trade, won't their interests be harmed?

So Linlang only painted big cakes, saying that he wanted to go to sea to find new territories and leave his name in Qingshi in the future. When these people heard Qingshi's words, they were moved and did not stop him.

Of course, the main reason is that they don’t have to worry about how much money Linlang can have and how many ships they can build, which will not affect their interests.

In fact, Linlang just wants to control her own army by building a navy. In the future, the navy will have strong ships and cannons, and she will have this navy. Whatever she wants to do, it will be much easier. After all, Mucang Political power comes from the pole.

This group of civil servants controlled the army through the cabinet, but as for the navy, Linlang used his own internal funds to establish and control it. These people were not aware of the power of the navy for the time being, so they didn't take it to heart— -If they know how important sea power is, they will not stop building a navy. In the future, they will know how the foreigners' strong ships and guns were able to conquer China hundreds of years later, and she can still use these. Things, clean up this bunch of rubbish and straighten out the government affairs.

It’s not that these people are unintelligent, it’s just that what they represent behind them is the interests of Budding Capital. In order to make money, they will do whatever they can to make money.

They want to annex land, they want to monopolize maritime trade, and only pay a little bit of commercial tax, which is almost equivalent to nothing. However, the landlords and gentry own large areas of land, but they are exempted from taxes because of their fame and have almost no need to pay taxes. On the contrary, the poor people do not have much land, and even Without land, they have to bear exorbitant taxes.

Rich people don’t have to pay taxes. The court has been squeezing the poor people who have no money. Only a fool can do such a thing. In such a court, Linlang dares to conclude that the original body was driven away at that time. If the ministers choose a clan member to take the position, within a few years, the world will be in chaos because the people will not be able to survive.

Can’t those court ministers see the crisis?

Those people are so smart, how could they not see that, just by seeing that they cannot collect any taxes and there is no money in the treasury, they should know that something will happen if this continues in the long run.

But in their view, the emperor who is running water and the powerful family is replaced by another emperor. What are they afraid of? They will still be high-ranking officials by then, but they have never thought that if it is like in some time and space, The new arrivals killed the wealthy people and confiscated all their property. Will they fall into poverty due to the change of dynasty?

No one would have thought of this, or perhaps they would have thought of this, but they were lucky, thinking that this kind of thing would not happen to them, that their family could continue to be rich, and that only other people would be unlucky.
