I’m The King Chapter 1273: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and sixty-three) Wang Wudi, who cares about every detail

Wang Wudi stood in Gaoyuan's study, looked at the much brighter room, went straight to the window, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the glass that had just been installed, "My lord, what is this?" ? How is it transparent?"

"This is glass, how is it? Hi, I often think about how to get a little money from Gaoyuan to the treasury, but as a country steward, he is really a very good guy.

"Is this something that Wang Shangxin came up with? It's very valuable, right?" Wang Wudi asked.

An expression of vigilance immediately appeared in Gao Yuan's eyes: "This is where I pondered [猪^猪^岛^novel][www].[zhu][].[], this is what I used to A personal soldier, didn’t he retire and go out of the palace later? He brought a few master craftsmen to get it out, and specially presented a batch to me. The price is indeed very expensive, but this window , it will cost fifty or sixty yuan!"

"Fifty or sixty yuan, such a small piece?" The aged finance minister almost fell to the ground, and immediately withdrew his hand, which was still reaching out to caress it. On the other side, Mei Yipo, the governor of the central bank, also widened his eyes, with a surprised expression on his face.

"Of course, the glass on the windows around my study is worth thousands of dollars? How about it, Minister Wang, are you interested in installing this thing in your home? You can make sure I'll give you a discount." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Forget it, forget it!" Wang Wudi waved his hands again and again, "Forget about my salary, I would rather buy more meat with this money!" Wang Wudi repeatedly shook his head and burst out laughing. . "However, Your Majesty, is it really the soldier who made it? Cough cough, this is easy to find out. Since he has done this business, I will always find a way to find out his details."

Gao Yuan stared at Wang Wudi for a long while, then said with a little embarrassment: "Well, well, I paid for the research, but the technology is indeed theirs."

Wang Wudi was overjoyed immediately, "That's great!" He clapped his hands and laughed.

"What's the matter?" Gao Yuan stared at him and asked.

"I will send someone to take a look when I look back. Since it is the capital paid by the king, the workshop and the imperial court will have a share! I think the market for this thing is not small, and there are many big men and rich people. I, Wang Wudi, bought it. I'm sorry, but there are a lot of people who can afford it, tsk tsk, it's a unique business in the world, my lord, according to what I know about you, the cost of this thing must not be high, right?" Wang Wudi said happily , not caring that Gao Yuan's face was already dark.

"Wang Wudi, this is my personal money. What does it have to do with the court? You can't make up your mind!" Gao Yuan jumped at the case.

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a big man. This big man belongs to you, naturally. Yours also belong to the country. Your Majesty, don't be so dark, don't look at our big man is now flourishing. National strength Strong, but that’s what outsiders see, our foundation is weak. The inside is empty, the treasury has never been filled, and money is spent everywhere. Every time the year-end budget starts, the county guards from all over the country will break the threshold of ministers. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go home. The Great Council is about to become a fighting arena. The members of the Council are all staring at the national treasury for their local interests. They hope that the court will allocate more subsidies to them. Your Majesty , let me do the math..."

"Don't count on me, you are the Minister of Finance." Gao Yuan knocked on the table angrily.

"Okay, okay, this doesn't count, let's talk about the things in Jicheng, you know how much the comprehensive university's annual budget is, right? The Yizhen Research Institute and the Weapons Research Institute spend a year Do you know how much you want to pay?"

"Hmph, this is all your responsibility. How much the country earns a year and how to use it is something you should worry about. Let me tell you, Wang Wuyi, don't think about my personal ideas. The money is not enough , You live within your means, by the way, I can’t remember the fact that you didn’t mention money, the imperial court should pay me and my family a total of 200,000 yuan a year, right? It’s been a few years, three years, right? You owe me 600,000 yuan, Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan!"

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" He Weiyuan, who was standing in the corner of the room, pouted and walked out with a smile, "Minister Wang wrote me the IOUs these past few years. Pay me back now."

He Weiyuan smiled and walked to the side of the study, took out a small box, and took out a few IOUs written by Wang Wudi himself, with the bright red seal of the Ministry of Finance stamped on them.

"Didn't you write it, didn't you write it?" Gao Yuan waved the IOU in front of Wang Wudi's eyes.

"Your eyes are not good, please take a closer look, Your Majesty." Wang Wudi stretched out his hand.

"Hahaha!" Gao Yuan laughed strangely, and withdrew his hand quickly, "You old guy, come with me again, the last time the IOU of 100,000, you have an excuse to take a look, take it I stuffed it in my mouth in the past, and I want to repeat the old trick again, I thought you were ruthless when I fell in love with you once, and I was stupid if I fooled you twice!"

The attempt was shattered, but Wang Wudi showed no shame on his face. Instead, he said sternly: "Your Majesty, don't slander your subordinates. As the Minister of Finance, how could you do such a thing? The Ministry of Finance under your jurisdiction is the accountant Strict, without the slightest loophole. The king said this, is there anyone to prove it?"

"Look, look, Yipo, this is our Minister of Finance." Gao Yuan was amused, and turned his head to look at Mei Yipo, who smiled and said nothing.

"Wei Yuan, put it away carefully, and hide it in another place. Minister Wang often comes here. If I was not here that day, he would copy it out and eat it as snacks, and I would suffer a big loss." /

"Understood!" He Weiyuan giggled and walked out holding the small box.

Wang Wudi sighed, "Your Majesty, this whole big man belongs to you. What do you want to do with so much money? Let me do the math for you. Procter & Gamble, you have shares. Now Procter & Gamble Your products are sold all over the world, and your annual dividend is about 500,000 yuan. You have shares in Wu's Liquor, and you have more dividends. Now you have an annual income of one million yuan. Liaodong Mine, Smelting, you have sent people to enter Although you have been investing in stocks for the past few years, you have started to earn money since last year. In the first year, your income has exceeded one million yuan. From these three businesses alone, your annual income has exceeded two and a half million yuan. , why do you still care about the salary of two hundred thousand?"

"It's mine, it's mine." Gao Yuan snorted and said, "This is the law. How can it be easily abandoned. Hey, Wang Wuyi, how do you know how much money I made last year?"

Wang Wudi sighed and said: "Your Majesty, is this difficult for my servants? I just calculated it from the taxes of these companies and factories from the tax department."

Gao Yuan's eyes widened and he had nothing to say.

"You are dragging my salary and refusing to pay me, don't I have to support my family? Can the Wang family lose their dignity? It costs a lot of money! If you don't say anything else, just talk about the palace Guards, girls. Workers, I don’t give any rewards during the holidays? Wei Yuan, how much will it cost?”

He Weiyuan, who had just hidden the small box, came back. Hearing this, he quickly nodded in cooperation, "Yes, yes, last year, including wages and rewards, I spent more than 100,000 yuan!"

"Even so. That's a drop in the bucket!" Wang Wudi said dissatisfiedly: "The king is not short of money, but the country is short of money."

Mei Yipo on the side laughed and said, "Minister Wang, let's put this matter aside for now, have you forgotten what we are here today?"

Wang Wudi realized it all at once. Nodding again and again, "I was taken into the ditch by the king, yes yes yes, it's business."

What do you mean being led into a ditch by me? Gao Yuan's nose was almost crooked. He really has nothing to do with this penny-pinching finance minister.

"Your Majesty, Minister Wang is right about one thing. Now the big man really doesn't have enough money. According to the instructions of the King, the collegiate meeting of the Great Council and the budget of the Political Affairs Hall, next year, the central government will provide as much as a subsidy for local governments. Hundreds of millions of dollars, especially in places like the original Qi and Wei, need a large amount of capital investment, and the central bank is going to expand the circulation of coins next year." Mei Yipo said.

Gao Yuan was a little worried, "Will increasing the amount of money cause inflation? This is not a joke. I always think it is better to live within my means." Gao Yuan didn't know much about these things, but he did You know, inflation is no fun.

"Don't worry, my lord, the economy of my big man is now in the upward stage. All walks of life are booming. Everyone is eager to expand the scale and make the business bigger and stronger, but without exception, they are short of money! Moderate stimulation , it is absolutely positive for Dahan’s economy. The central bank and the Ministry of Finance have held many meetings on this matter, and dozens of seminars have been held. The final conclusion is that the amount of money should be increased at this time to stimulate the market .”

"If you think these things can be done, then do it." Gao Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Minister Wang and I are here this time to report the relevant details to the king." Mei Yipo said.

It was getting late, but the three people who were talking in the study didn't know the passage of time. He Weiyuan stared at a few lights and came in, and the room suddenly brightened. Wang Wudi's eyes lit up~IndoMTL.com~The lamps placed on Gao Yuan's table were not the kind of oil lamps he usually used, but like handicrafts. , is this also made of glass? And this lampshade, isn’t it the same thing?”

Gao Yuan nodded, "Not bad, how about it, it's much brighter than the oil lamps we don't use often?"

"It's not only brighter, this lamp holder, put it on the table, it can illuminate at night, and it can also be used as a decoration during the day, it's very beautiful!" Mei Yipo praised, "I want this glass to turn around Install it for my home, I need to buy a few more of these lamps, I look at the account every day, the lights are dim, and my eyes are hurting!"

"Go back to Wei Yuan and ask him to arrange it for you. Now the production of this glass is insufficient, and the lamps are made even less, so let him arrange it for you!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Come on, let's continue talking. "

When the clapper in the palace rang twice, the discussion in the study finally came to an end. Wang Wudi and Mei Yipo said goodbye. When Wang Wudi got up, he unceremoniously grabbed a lamp on the table He put it in his hand: "Your Majesty, I am old and have bad eyesight. Take a lamp to illuminate the road so as not to fall." After speaking, he took this beautiful lamp and walked out waddlingly.

"This old guy is really a blatant robbery!" Looking at Wang Wudi's back, Gao Yuan shook his head and sighed. (to be continued...)
