Silver Overlord Chapter 658: Be loyal
Sun ’s dinner is not extravagant. The only people who serve at night are Yan Liqiang and Sun Bingchen, a pot of old duck soup, a portion of winter bamboo shoots in oil, a pile of peanuts under wine, and a plate of green peppers Stir-fried bacon, a total of three dishes and a soup, plus a pot of Yuezhou old wine found by Sun Bingchen, even if Sun Bingchen hosted Yan Liqiang's wind banquet.
Compared to other noble houses in the Imperial City, such a banquet is extremely shabby, but Yan Liqiang does n’t mind, because he knows that Sun Bingchen is such a person. This is not Sun Bingchen ’s intentional treatment, but Sun Bingchen has always been He is not demanding on life, it is relatively simple. He never needs scenes and luxury to show what. Tonight, this meal has two meat dishes and a pot of good wine. For Sun Bingchen, it is already a rare "unusual" addition of food Alright ...
At dinner, Sun Bingchen seemed very happy. The two of them had a tacit understanding. They did not say anything about business at the dinner table. Instead, they recalled the fact that Yan Liqiang escorted Sun Bingchen back to Dijing from Ganzhou. It was also harmonious. Until dinner, the two returned to Sun Bingchen ’s study room and sipped sober tea. Sun Bingchen slowly turned to the official business and inquired about the situation of Yan Liqiang Gulang Grassland. Yan Liqiang said the truth, there was nothing to hide. ......
"I heard that Li Qiang, you are selling wool in Monopoly in Qiyun County. You bought wool at a low price from the seven branches of Satu and sold it at a high price. Among them, the profit was more than ten times, and you earned hundreds of thousands of silver in January. Is this possible? "Sun Bingchen gently teased the teacup with the teacup and asked casually.
"Haha, I did n’t expect you to know this thing ..."
"How can I not know such a big thing, no one before thought that you could make the seven parts of the sartorius bow, and even the wool can be monopolized, do you know that you have done so, the cabinet is in the past few How many discounts have you handed over in a month are all talking about this, the military department, the household department, and the local officials from all over the place, all talking about you! "
"Oh, I don't know what those discounts say?" Although Li Gu had already guessed something, Yan Liqiang asked pretending to be curious.
"You come to pretend to be confused again!" Sun Bingchen glared at Yan Liqiang, but he was not angry. "You are such a shrewd person, I don't believe you can't guess. The man in the military department said you made it at Baishiguan. Wool monopoly silver is too easy to earn. Those silvers should be handed over to the Ministry of Military Affairs. As the military department will stabilize the military supplies of Gulang Grassland in the future, you cannot use it alone. The important reason for the death of the military troops in Gulang Grassland this time is the military expenses of military supplies. Too large, the imperial court bears some difficulty, the man in the household said that this monopoly policy should be under the unified jurisdiction of the household, and it cannot be set by the local governor ’s office. I want to send someone to Baishiguan to set up a monopoly department to take over the wool. Monopoly, the discounts on the local staff in those places, it means that the wool you received from Satu 7 is cheap, but ten copper plates are a catty. Since these wools are cheap, you should not sell them at a high price. Instead, it should be resold to government workshops around the world at a parity ... "
Yan Liqiang laughed and sneered. "All of them are playing wishful thinking. Over the years, the Seventh Division of the Tutu have been rampant in the northwest and the Gulang Grasslands. I haven't cut off my head, and now I see the benefits. It's like taking all the benefits of Gulang Grassland in one bite. That is so easy. They need to have the ability to let them send the first seven parts of Shatu. If one of them is gone, let ’s say that I ’m not too demanding. Just let the military bring back the heads of 10,000 Shatu people from the Gulang grassland. I will give them the Monopoly Bureau. Why can this wool monopoly be made? , Can let the people of the Seventh Tribe of Shatuo hold their noses and lower their heads to accept it, but I hacked it out with a sword. I killed the Tulibu with tens of thousands of camps, and hung the head of the tribal patriarch. It was only at the Baishiguan that the seven branches of Shatu came to Baishiguan and bowed their heads. Do they think that it is useful to rely on the mouth of the mouth? The same is true for the household department. They must have the courage to come to Baishiguan, thinking that just sending a few people to set up a level can let the sand The Seventh Department paid the money, so let them come. Those officials who made a discount in the place said what official workshop, but only selling sheep meat on the head of the sheep, I think it is true that they want to open a wool factory in their own home. Are you really a fool ... "
Sun Bingchen stared at Yan Liqiang ’s face, smiled, and took a sip of tea gently, “It ’s not easy to make Liqiang angry!”
"Adults have been to the Northwest, and naturally know how hard the Northwest is and how sinister the environment is. The birds in the Northwest didn't shit. Those people didn't take care of us. Now when they see that wool is making money, they are all swarming and looting. The fruit of victory, this woolen cloth was invented by me, and the strategy of the monopoly was I came up with. The head of the Satu people was also cut down desperately by the soldiers under their control. Why should they grab it, I am not used to them ... … "
"If the court wants it, can Li Qiang share your worries with the court?" Sun Bingchen put down the teacup and looked at Yan Liqiang with a serious look.
"Haha, can the court look at me with such a small profit?"
"I do n’t know Chai Migui, it ’s not easy for your majesty now ..." Sun Bingchen said with a sigh. "The natural disasters and disasters have continued throughout the years, the tax revenue of the court has dropped year by year, and the expenditure has increased year by year. Two hundred and seventy-two million, these seem to be a lot of money, but to cope with such a big stall of the Han Empire, it has gradually been unable to make ends meet. The deposit of the imperial treasury has long been left. His Majesty appointed you as Governor Qi Yun. I did n’t expect Li Qiang to make a fortune, you can make a wool monopoly in Baishiguan, you can make so much money ... "
Yan Liqiang pondered for a while, the snake in his head moved, and then said generously, "If someone else wants to intervene in the wool monopoly, I will never agree, but I am subject to His Majesty and Master ’s kindness. Naturally, we should understand the difficulties of His Majesty and the adults, and do not hide them. Now, the monthly income of the Wool Monopoly Bureau in Qiyun County is more than 300,000, and the corresponding costs and expenses are thrown away. The net profit of the Monopoly Bureau for one year is probably two. More than one million two thousand, since the adults speak, in the future, Qi Yundu ’s government will hand over 1.5 million two silvers to the court to enrich the treasury and share the worries between His Majesty and the adults. It stands to reason that even if I hand over all the money from the Monopoly Bureau, But now the situation in Gulang Grassland is worrying, and I have few soldiers ~ IndoMTL.com ~ I want to continue this wool monopoly strategy for a long time, and even consider accepting and accepting Gulang Grassland in the future, Qi Yundu has no point Power is not enough, so for the rest of the money earned by the Monopoly Bureau, in order to prevent accidents, I will also invest in the customs and armaments of Qiyun County. Many subordinate officials in the county also need to encourage praise, so please be considerate ... "
1.5 million two silvers are paid in each year. That ’s not a small amount. According to Yan Liqiang, the tax, money and food that can be paid in the whole Ganzhou in a year may not be the same, but at this time, Yan Liqiang is not allowed No expression was given because this was a test for him by His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Bingchen. The bottom line in Sun Bingchen's mind was at least one million two per year, and Yan Liqiang added another 500,000 two to this bottom line.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty and I have not misunderstood you, Li Qiang, you really know the whole thing, and you are faithful ..." Zhuangzi, in this way, Li Qiang, although you seem to have made a little money, but in fact, there is a lot of trouble, so that those people have nothing to say, those silver, just happened to stop those people ’s mouths, foreign, manufacturing bureau every year You can also underreport your income, so that others will have nothing to say ... "
"I know, thank you for reminding me!" Seeing that Sun Bingchen was in a good mood, Yan Liqiang seized the opportunity and asked the newspaper about the matter. "That's right. I just came to the Imperial City this time and heard about the" Han Empire Times " Many people in the newspaper office were arrested, and the adults knew that the newspaper office was created by me. Those who were arrested were also recruited into the newspaper office by me, and I was old knowledge, like Fang Beidou, or my friend, I do n’t know What did they do and why were they arrested? "
