I’m The King Chapter 1346: : The Pain of No Money

In an unknown small courtyard by the Dayan Lake, Wang Jian and Gao Yuan formally signed an agreement, which clarified the relationship between the two parties. The Dahan also formally owned his first vassal state. So far, the most important task for both parties is It can be regarded as completed, and the following bilateral cooperation will naturally be discussed between the subordinates brought by Wang Jian and Gao Yuan's subordinates. Wang Jian happily pretended to be Gao Yuan's entourage, and followed Gao Yuan to start a formal inspection of Dayan County. Wang Jian said that the current Han Dynasty has given him a great impact all the time, whether it is the development of the Han Dynasty or the concept of the Han people.

He saw the people of Dayan County's infinite support for Gao Yuan, that kind of respect from the heart made Wang Jian tremble in his heart, but at the same time, he also observed that the people here did not have any special fear of officials On the contrary, those officials are trying to curry favor with ordinary people, at least in Wang Jian's opinion. He met those high-ranking councilors that Gao Yuan talked about, and Wang Jian still recognized one of them. In a small-scale communication, Tian Yuanyuan, the great councilor, openly refuted the high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty, and Sun Xiao, the governor of the Dongdu Protectorate, aggravated some of his policies, but Sun Xiao always smiled. Yes, he kept explaining to the members present, and Gao Yuan, who was present, obviously stood in the middle, and did not favor Sun Xiao just because he was his confidant.

This made Wang Jian very puzzled. If the big man is like this everywhere, how can the authority of the government survive? How can one herd one side and rule the world?

Wang Jian saw the latest issue of Dahan Weekly, from which he saw a big case about Liaolin County. It was a case that shocked Dahan. This is an out-and-out demotion in the Han court. Hundreds of officials from the three counties of Liaodong lost their positions because of this. What shocked Wang Jian even more was that Mutu, the great hero who exposed this major case, was finally sentenced to death by the circuit court sent by the Han court to the three counties of Liaodong. They were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from ten to twenty years.

The big man has too many things that Wang Jian doesn't understand, and he is full of ideas that are contrary to Wang Jian's rule of the country and the world. According to Wang Jian's cognition, such a country should be in chaos, and it is reasonable to be on the verge of collapse, but the fact is that this country's national strength is flourishing, and the strength it has shown is beyond the reach of myself.

He sent people to collect every issue of the Dahan Weekly since its publication, and collected all kinds of laws and regulations issued by the Dahan. He planned to take these things back and study them carefully. Keeping the essence and discarding the dross, Wang Jian thinks he is a good scholar who is not afraid to learn from others' strengths, and in time, he will definitely create a world that is not inferior to the big men.

Ten days later, Gao Yuan finished his inspection of Dayan County, Wang Jia set off and returned all the way. It will pass through western Liaoning to Hejian. After detouring Yuyang to enter the former Zhao land and then returning to Jiyang, Wang Jian's trip can be regarded as a successful conclusion.

After sending Gao Yuan away, Wang Jian returned to the post house where he lived, and Huang Xiao, who was in charge of specific negotiations, was also waiting for him exhausted.

"Thanks for your hard work." Seeing Huang Xiao who had lost a lot of weight, Wang Jian said.

"This is the duty of the subordinates." Huang Xiaodao: "It's just the general, these Han people are too treacherous. Even a single word must be carefully picked, and even a copper coin must be considered, it is really speechless. "

"This is the characteristic of a big man!" Wang Jian said with a smile: "Two days ago, I followed Gao Yuan to attend a council meeting in Dayan County, do you know what I saw? Xiao’s face. Directly questioning Sun Xiao’s Dongdu Protectorate’s spending on entertaining guests in the first half of the year far exceeded the budget.”

"How do these congressmen know about Sun Xiao's expenses for entertaining guests?" Huang Xiao wondered.

"Because every quarter, these expenditures of the government have to be announced, and any congressman has the right to ask for an audit." Wang Jian said: "How is it, is it strange? And the excess , It was originally spent on Gaoyuan’s inspection tour, but last year’s budget did not include this item of expenditure, and Gaoyuan’s inspection tour was temporarily decided because of our visit.”

"Isn't it over? Sun Xiao didn't put it in his pocket or he ate it in his stomach!" Huang Xiao said.

"That's the problem. Some councilors, especially Tian Yuanyuan, said in front of Gao Yuan that there should be no expenditure without a budget. The king's trip will cost a lot, and it will definitely be given to the wild goose next year. The operation of the county government has brought great difficulties, how do you guess it was resolved in the end?"

Huang Xiao really finds it inconceivable, the shore of Shutu, could it be that Wang Tu, Gao Yuan came to Dayan County, the officials of Dayan County should be excited, Mo Mingcai, why would Gao Yuan come to spend their money?

"In the end, Gao Yuan promised that the expenses this time will be settled by him personally." Wang Jian stared at Huang Xiao and said.

Huang Xiao opened his mouth wide, unable to turn the corner in his head, "Privately paid by the king of Han? The whole big man belongs to him, he pays, and in the end it is not paid by the treasury. Isn't this putting the money in the left hand into the right hand?" ?”

"Otherwise!" Wang Jian took out a newspaper from a stack of specially selected newspapers in the room, "Look at the anecdote on this newspaper, which is Gao Yuan's request to his finance minister. The minister was unable to recover his salary, so he was angry and beat him up, but he has not been hit yet."

Huang Xiao read it at a glance and couldn't laugh or cry: "This, this is really a big joke."

"This is no joke!" Wang Jian sighed and said, "Gao Yuan is indeed a sage king I have never seen before, so if there is a day of Gao Yuan, our Great Qin will never turn around. Now you understand, we Why do you say that you have to suffer from hardships and try your best, and use one generation or even several generations to work hard?"

"Maybe it's just Gao Yuan's show." Huang Xiao thought for a while, and said, "Maybe that Tian Yuanyuan will be unlucky if he turns around. Gao Yuan is a sage king, so he doesn't think he's disobedient, but I'm afraid there are people below who will help the King of Han to deal with him."

"You're wrong again." Wang Jian sighed: "Gao Yuan also specially introduced Tian Yuanyuan to me, claiming that he is the most popular candidate for the next Dayan Sheriff. Do you know who the next Dayan Sheriff is? How were they elected? They were elected by the councilors of Dayan County, and those councilors were elected by all the people of Dayan County one vote at a time, and all men and women who have reached the age of sixteen have the right to one vote."

"The chief of a county is also elected in this way? So where is the power of the king Gao Yuan? How can he control these local officials?" Huang Xiao changed his face. "The inability of the central government to effectively control local officials is not the beginning of the disaster?"

"I don't understand either, but at least it seems that the big man doesn't have this problem. I also asked Gao Yuan about this kind of election of the sheriff. It is still in the pilot process. The first batch of big men has no more than ten All the counties adopt this method, all of which are based on the old foundation and old base areas when Gaoyuan started his business. Other places are still appointed by the central government. But I think Gaoyuan means that if they will be gradually pushed away, we will also come to Dayan County. It’s been so long, you should have heard that their chief assistant for this term was also elected by the big councilors!”

"I heard that. Yan Shenghao and Wu Qi fought, and finally Yan Shenghao narrowly won."

"I wondered if Gao Yuan wanted to implement the policy of false monarchy and reality in the ancient times, but what good would it do him? Could it be that a founding monarch like him is willing to be ostracized by his subordinates? , to make a tall wooden sculpture?" Wang Jian said.

"Not necessarily, at least the military power is still in his hands."

"That's right, this is the only right that Gao Yuan still holds in his hands. Others are managed by his political affairs hall. However, the political affairs hall is the result of the election of the Great Council. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Dahan There are too many things we don't understand, after we go back, let's study it slowly, how do you talk about it?"

"They will give us everything. According to the purchase catalog given to us by Hanwang, the director of the military industry has promised to meet the supply. It's just that the price is a bit high. The first batch of purchases alone, according to their original valuation, is as high as five million yuan. , This is five million taels of silver. Where can we get it?" Huang Xiao said distressedly.

"So many?" Wang Jian was taken aback. "How much did you ask for?"

"I calculated based on the replacement of 50,000 people." Huang Xiaodao: "General, if you form an elite of about 20,000 and a standing army of about 30,000, this is the lowest number. I didn’t count those purchased by the manor owners themselves.”

"In the past few years, we have worked so hard, and we only have three million taels in the warehouse. In the battle of the black-clothed food invasion, consumption and post-war pensions, one million taels is no more. Now, where can we find such money? Can we owe part of it first?" Wang Jian said.

"Gao Quan told me that if you don't have money, you can get a loan from their central bank, but when the interest was calculated, I was shocked again. I was going to pay one million taels in advance, and the remaining four One million two cents is paid off every year, but it can be calculated according to their interest. According to our financial income, I am afraid that it will never be paid off. We will buy weapons from them after we can. Many of these weapons are consumables. , if it wasn't for the imminent invasion of the black food, I really want to leave."

"Is there no other compromise?" Wang Jian kept shaking his head: "For example, lower the interest rate?"

"That Gao Quan said ~IndoMTL.com~ This is already the lowest interest rate. General, there is really no way. After we go back, we can only think of ideas on top of taxes. Let’s increase taxes, as long as we rebate We will not need so many weapons in the future if we eat the food in black clothes and beat them to death. We can always recover from it." Huang Xiao sighed.

"If there is no other way, this is the only way." This is the only way Wang Jian can think of.

There was a knock on the door outside, and a personal guard came in and reported to Wang Jian: "General, a businessman came outside, claiming to be a hitchhiker, and he wants to see the general. General."

"A businessman? The general has no time to see him, so send him away." Huang Xiaozheng was not in a good mood, and when he heard that a businessman came to visit, he immediately became annoyed.

"Wait a minute!" Wang Jian stopped and said, "Huang Xiao, I came to Dayan County to keep it secret. Not many people know about it. Don't you find it strange that a businessman can know about it? I'm afraid this businessman It's not easy, let him in, I'll see him." (To be continued..)
