"This is the imperial capital!" A woman with a wide forehead and a big mouth, but the combination makes people find nothing wrong with it, only makes people feel smart and beautiful. Sitting behind a tractor, she looks at the city with tall buildings in the distance. , the words are full of exclamations.
The woman was twenty-five or six years old, dressed in ordinary clothes, but it was unforgettable at first sight.
Especially those eyes, bright as stars.
And beside her are a man and a woman. The man is strong and the woman is full of wildness. At first sight, she looks like a member of the ancient tribe.
"I haven't been back for a long time. I didn't have so many cars before." The man looked around. On the ten lanes from the imperial capital to Lancheng, there were all kinds of tractors and trucks coming and going. Now there are a few more models of tractors. , and there is more than one type of truck.
In addition, occasionally you can see a large vehicle called a bus, which is full of people, and even a few people are sitting on the roof, looking at the distant city with amazement.
"I designed the tire model of this tractor!" the man showed off. "If I hadn't shouldered the heavy responsibility and went to Daxia, I would be behind these vehicles."
If you put it another way, 80% of the people who greeted you were admiring eyes.
But at this time, only the woman from the ancient tribe next to him kicked him and yelled: "Du Lao Liu, are you finished? How many times have you said it along the way?"
"Lao Liu's contribution is indeed not insignificant. Dayao's current changes cannot be separated from your contribution." The other woman pursed her lips and smiled, her movements were quite elegant.
"What's your name, Lao Liu, you guys know each other very well?" the ancient woman said angrily, and kicked Du Lao Liu again while speaking. "Are you familiar?"
"Anyway, we are also classmates!" The woman chuckled, her eyes sparkled, she seemed to like to see the two of them fighting there. In other words, one person fights and one person makes trouble.
"Qinglian, are you really not going back?" Du Laoliu was used to being kicked and beaten anyway, so he asked the woman instead.
Seeing this scene, the woman of the ancient tribe became even more angry, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind that she would never let him go home!
The woman of the ancient tribe is Du Laoliu's wife Tuyu, who went to Daxia with Du Laoliu at the beginning, but now four years later, the two returned together.
The other woman is Qinglian.
Qing Lian shook her head slightly, and smiled lightly: "Anyway, I'm not needed now, it doesn't matter if I have me or not, I should do what I want to do."
After speaking, he looked up into the distance with a sad expression on his face.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this in the end. I have been planning for many years, and I don't know what it is for.
However, this was also expected a long time ago. The Great Xia royal family had a figure who opened the world, and they had expected this day. Although that character is quite restricted and cannot stay away, it is enough to stop the rebels.
Empty her mind, Qing Lian turned her attention to the imperial capital which was getting closer, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Your Highness moved rich households from hundreds of cities to the imperial capital?"
"I don't know. I haven't been back for several years." Du Lao Liu shook his head. He has been in Daxia, so he didn't know about it.
As they entered the imperial capital, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, especially on both sides, even in such a peripheral area, there was prosperity.
All kinds of shops are scattered around the city, and a large number of goods are unloaded here, and then placed in shops in various places in the city.
Pedestrians, laborers, merchants, shopkeepers, bargaining, shouting, and cursing, blare in the ears.
I saw that one of them was loading and unloading all kinds of vegetables and fruits. The baskets were loaded onto trucks and then sent directly to the city.
There are vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes, barbecue and broth on the side of the road. On the upper floors on both sides, there is smoke wafting out, and you can smell stewed meat and various aromas. The combination of the two rushes straight into the nostrils, seducing the mouth and tongue.
"Hungry! I can finally have a good meal!" Du Laoliu said, rubbing his stomach.
"Isn't Da Xia's food not as good as Dayao's?" Qing Lian laughed.
"It's not as good, it's not as good as it is!" Du Laoliu said decisively.
Qinglian smiled without saying a word. Dayao food is rich in spices, and the aroma is tangy, but it conceals the deliciousness of the food itself.
Daxia cuisine has few spices, but pays more attention to highlighting the taste of the food itself.
It can only be said that everyone is better.
But in terms of meat, Dayao has various spices that can suppress the fishy smell, which is better than Daxia.
"Where are you going? Are you going to see the dean first?" Du Lao Liu asked, and got kicked again after asking.
"No, I'll walk around the city first, and I'll see you tomorrow." Qing Lian shook her head slightly, bid farewell to the two, and then jumped off the tractor.
She wanted to see what the imperial capital looked like, so she had to see it with her own eyes.
"Still watching?" Seeing that Qing Lian got out of the car and Du Laoliu was still watching, Tuyu kicked up again.
"I just feel a little pitiful for her!" Du Laoliu shook his head and said. Although he teased a little, chattered a little, and was careless a little, but he didn't wink at all, and it was natural to see Qinglian's sense of loss from time to time along the way.
What's more, it must be quite unsatisfactory to leave everything behind and come to Dayao alone.
"How do you know she's pitiful? And she has something to do with you?" Tuyu said angrily. "I'm pitiful, why did I fall in love with you when I was blind!"
"Because I'm smart!" Du Laoliu grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, still reflecting the light.
"Pooh."
"I'll go to the palace first!" Du Laoliu said holding his bag. "You go back and let them stew the meat."
…
Ren Baqian was a little surprised to hear that Du Lao Liu came back. He didn't pass the news through the people of the Captain's Mansion when he came back this time.
As far as he knew, there was nothing wrong with the Du family recently. I don't know if he found what he wanted, or he just wanted to come back and have a look.
But you'll know it when you see him.
"Luoli, after a few years of popularizing education across the country, the treasury funds are already insufficient. This year I'm afraid it will be in deficit by 30%. What do you think?" Ren Baqian looked at Luoli in front of him.
Three years later, the image of this artificial intelligence has not changed, and its personality is as bad as ever. At this time, it is drawing circles on its lips with its fingers, and its eyes are blurred.
Fortunately, I am not a luoli control.
Seeing Ren Baqian asking about something serious, Luoli winked, and pulled the collar down with his fingers... Anyway, it's all flat, so you can't tell if you pull it or not.
"If you want to enrich the national treasury, or increase revenue, or reduce expenditure, the number of Dayao officials is not bloated, and it can even be said that there is still a big shortage. For example, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Commerce are always insufficient. The current number of soldiers is also difficult to six The area in Wanda Mountain is too large, so throttling is not advisable.
Then all you have to do is open source!
If you want to increase income, one is taxation, and the other is commodities. Now the domestic situation is stable, and Izumo Prefecture is also stable. If taxes are raised, it will inevitably cause shocks. As for products, the number of craftsmen and factory personnel can only be said to be reluctant, and it is really unable to develop new products.
What's more, even if you barely get one or two commodities, it will be difficult to make up for the current deficit. "
"This king knows all these things!" Ren Baqian said in a deep voice.
"However, there are still a few ways. One is the national debt. Presumably no one is willing to buy it. The lottery ticket is good, and Dayao can't help gambling. This part of the money should be collected by the casino and the people behind it. It is better to return it to the government.
Another way is Chen Guo and Da Xia!
Not to mention Chen Guo, although the Great Xia has not been unified, the imperial court and the rebel army have already divided their territories, so it is unlikely that there will be much change in a period of time. Moreover, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and after ten years of continuous fighting, a large amount of wealth has been gathered in the hands of a small number of people. "
Ren Baqian's heart moved, and he asked, "How?"
"Just sell the goods there. Daxia people have a great demand for my Dayao's goods. In the past, the territory was uncertain, and they could still restrain themselves. Now that the two are divided into territories, and the situation between the two sides has stabilized, the demand will increase." moved to other areas.
And we just need to sell some of the goods that were originally supplied to the country to those who have accumulated a lot of wealth, but there is one point, it must be settled in Da Yao's currency! Later, paper money was used to purchase materials in large quantities. In this way, no matter Daxia or Izumo, they are just creating wealth for the imperial court within a few years or decades. "
Ren Baqian thought for a while, probably understood what Luoli was thinking.
The value of money is given by people, regardless of gold and silver.
And Dayao's currency is more obvious in this.
Nowadays, large-value transactions are entirely in paper money, and this thing can be printed as much as it wants. However, in order to stabilize domestic prices, it is impossible for the imperial court to print more banknotes than it can afford, otherwise the domestic economic system that has just taken shape and is still fragile will inevitably collapse.
However, if banknotes must be used for transactions with Chen Guo and Daxia, they first need to exchange gold and silver for banknotes, and the ratio of this exchange is determined by themselves, and they can profit from it.
The same is true for the purchase of materials in the two countries. In this way, one side earns gold, silver and materials, and what circulates in their hands is nothing more than banknotes. This method can be used to issue additional currency, and all the additional currency is consumed between the two countries. Inside, the imperial court can naturally make a lot of profits.
The additional currency issued alone has benefited the court enormously.
Over the past few years, the currencies of the two countries have basically been manipulated in the hands of Dayao, so that by manipulating the rise and fall of the currencies, a lot of profits can be made in the two countries.
If you are a little more black-hearted, you can design a separate currency to be issued in the two countries to plunder resources and profits.
This economic plunder is faster than robbery with a knife.
A few years later, it became the two countries to support Dayao.
Of course, there are several points in this. One is that the other party needs to recognize this currency.
Second, currency will not be imitated.
But these two points are no problem for me.
First of all, they may not be able to understand the main points of it. Even if there are people of insight who detect something wrong, under the pressure of the army, whether they want to or not, they must recognize Dayao's banknotes.
Moreover, Dayao's banknotes are beautifully made and easy to carry, and under strong pressure, they must be able to circulate in the two countries soon.
Not to mention counterfeit money, none of them have this strength.
After thinking it over in his heart, he asked about the details, and it was similar to what he thought, so Ren Baqian made up his mind.
