- Emperor Jinghe did some calculations.
Even if it¡¯s not the 13 million acres that Nangong Ji said, even if it¡¯s only 10 million acres.
??Each acre of land is sold for eight taels of silver, which is also eighty million taels!
This income is enough to greatly alleviate Dakang¡¯s financial pressure. Together with other various inputs, it directly reaches half of the required funds!
As long as half of it can be solved, the rest should be achievable if we work harder in the next two to three years.
Pity!
The trade with Shiwei, Dongying, Xiqiang, Uighur and Nanzhao accounted for almost two-thirds of Dakang's foreign trade.
¡° If we don¡¯t fall out with them, Dakang will definitely earn tens of millions more taels of silver in the next two years as long as we increase exports to them, and the financial pressure will be further reduced.
¡°But this blockade of trade is necessary.
??????????????????????????????????????? Otherwise, you continue to let them profit from it, and when they grow stronger, they will come to attack you like they did this year?
??????????????Now it seems that actively developing maritime trade as mentioned by Mingqi and going more in-depth to do business on various islands is the future development path.
¡°If he were to open the area through Malacca to do business with the red-haired ghost countries that are said to be rich, we would definitely make more money!
When that time comes, I will use the money earned from sea trade to continuously arm my Dakang soldiers so that they can take revenge and kill the enemies until they are frightened and no longer dare to spy on our land!
While I was thinking so proudly, someone spoke again below.
"Your Majesty."
It was Zhong Chang who spoke. He looked a little helpless and said: "Although the method I thought of is good, it lacks the most critical step."
Emperor Jinghe asked in surprise: "What is it?"
"Those people are so poor that they have no land. Where can they get the money to buy land?" Zhong Chang said: "The land tax in Dakang is not heavy, but to support a family of three, we need at least ten acres of land. Ten acres of land requires 80 acres. Two pieces of silver, who can afford this?
Farmers will never earn so much money in their lifetime! Otherwise, why would these one million people flee to the Gyeonggi region? How could you earn seven or eight taels of silver a month and not even go back to your hometown? "
"Then you meanthese lands will only end up in the hands of wealthy merchants, landlords and gentry?" Emperor Jinghe asked with a frown.
"If there is no good way to solve the people's money problem, I am afraid that in the end we will only enrich them." Zhong Chang said, "Although we can recover a lot of money, it will cause them to own more land, and the people will lose money." We can only become their tenant farmers again, and we can¡¯t live without them for generations to come!¡±
Emperor Jinghe shook his head categorically: "This is not possible! I would rather not sell it than encourage their trend of annexing land!"
"So, this is the most troublesome thing!" Even an old fox like Nangong Ji can't do anything. "We have discussed it for many days, but we still have no clue. It would be easier to handle with fewer people, but this is millions of households. Ah! No matter what we do, it¡¯s troublesome! So we have no choice but to ask His Majesty to start with the ultimatum and the clan."
"Um¡¡"
Emperor Jinghe understood their mentality very well.
??It¡¯s hard to find a way to benefit the court, refugees, and poor people, but it can¡¯t be done because of money problems. It¡¯s really frustrating.
The emperor suddenly had a sudden thought: "Can we let them owe money first and use grain to pay off the debt every year?"
"This won't work!"
Cao Yi said disapprovingly, "First of all, the burden here is too big. They have to eat the remaining food every year. How much food can they use to pay off the debt? Secondly, we are also very short of money, and we only have a few years left. , you can¡¯t wait a hundred years for them to give it all, right?¡±
"yes!"
The emperor¡¯s plan was denied, and he sighed sadly.
Time, time!
The worst thing now is time.
"If Dakang cannot adjust and recover quickly, God knows what kind of madness the foreigners who have been cut off from their business will go crazy. Will they come together to kill each other again?
It would be fine if such a large-scale war happened once. If it happens two or three more times, it will be a question whether Dakang can survive!
¡¡
After discussing it all afternoon, nothing came out. After dinner, the emperor asked them to go back and rest.
They are the busiest during this period.
I have been busy since the beginning of the year and have not stopped until now.
So once there is an opportunity, Jinghe Imperial CapitalForget it!
well!
Not in a highly developed modern society, it is so difficult for me, a dignified prince, to do some business. You can only imagine how others are treated.
The emperor didn¡¯t know that Liu Mingqi¡¯s inner drama was so rich.
He didn¡¯t show any exaggerated emotion when he heard the words, let alone that kind of fake surprise.
He just sighed again, "Mingqi, I know you are a good boy, so I don't actually want to embarrass you, but don't worry! No matter what happens in the future, you will be my prince of Dakang. I will give you enough respect!¡±
Emperor Jinghe was a little ashamed at this time, but he couldn't say it out loud, but the words were a bit inappropriate.
The word "respect" should not be spoken by the emperor.
"There should be no problem with Mingjing." Liu Mingqi continued: "I don't know if they have five million taels of silver, and I don't know if they want Mingjing to be the prince, but Mingjing's dedication to the country, He is absolutely trustworthy! Even if he takes it for granted, he will still support you!"
"Well, he is also a good boy!" Emperor Jinghe smiled.
¡°Who among these juniors reassures him the most, besides Liu Mingqi, it is Liu Mingjing.
Liu Mingqi is the Zongzheng of the clan mansion that Emperor Jinghe has long appointed, and when the time comes, he will also let his son worship Liu Mingqi as his teacher, so that Liu Mingqi can legitimately play his role in the court.
There is no need for him to deal with any specific affairs. As long as Liu Mingqi can provide guidance on problems that affect the development and survival of Dakang, it is enough.
But unlike Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingjing can only be used in the past few years at most. After that, he can only be responsible for training troops in the capital. It is impossible to give him the opportunity to lead troops in war.
After all, a civilian like Liu Mingqi is easy to control, but a general like Liu Mingjing who leads troops outside is not sure.
It¡¯s not that Emperor Jing He is targeting his two favorite nephews.
It¡¯s just that this is something that all emperors will do, otherwise it would be making fun of the country and the country, and it would be irresponsible to the people of the world!
On the other hand, as long as Emperor Jinghe restricts Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing and only allows them to use their abilities and prevents them from having ambitions, that will be the blessing of the entire world!
It¡¯s not just the two of them. Ning Wang Liu Mingguan is gentle, generous and sincere. As long as he has no ambitions, he can play more roles in the future!
