Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 8
"What? Did Brother Zicheng think it was against the law, or did he think that the lives of millions of disaster victims in Longxi were not worthy of caution?"

Seeing Xu Wanjun stunned, Chen Yi's face darkened slightly.

"Your Majesty..."

Xu Wanjun hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth slightly.

"Your Majesty, the old man and the others will shoulder the burden for the two of you!"

At this moment, an old but majestic voice came from behind the two of them.

Chen Yi and Xu Wanjun were shocked at the same time. When they turned around, they found that the old chief minister Wang Chengping and several cabinet ministers were looking at them with half-smiling smiles.

"Chief..."

Xu Wanjun paled in shock, and hurriedly wanted to stand up and salute.

Wang Chengping waved his hand and sat beside Chen Yi casually.The remaining three cabinet ministers sat down at the same time.

"I didn't know that the old chief assistant was here, so I hope you won't be surprised if you are rude."

"In the marketplace, there is no need to be too polite."

With a faint smile and a wave of his hand, Wang Chengping looked at Chen Yi seriously.

"Zishang, the original intention of your bank is good. But after much deliberation and deliberation, there is still one thing I can't figure out."

Chen Yi thought for a while, then nodded.

"Old Chief Assistant, but if you ask something, the humble minister must know everything and say everything."

Wang Chengping went straight to the point.

"The original intention of your bank is excellent, but where will the interest money from depositors come from?"

"Presumably, the old Shoufu has already seen my plan after the memorial, so that's why I asked this question?"

Chen Yi smiled.

The old Shoufu and the others looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

Immediately, the old Shoufu said seriously: "Is it really possible to deal with business tax and family tax?"

Chen Yi laughed, and asked back: "Why is it not feasible?"

Without waiting for the old Chief Assistant to ask questions, Chen Yi immediately explained to himself:

“Once money banks are spread, the business of Dawu Dynasty will be more prosperous than before.

To tell you the truth, Mr. Shoufu, I have carefully reviewed the various taxes of our Dawu in the past few days.Didn't you find out before that the tax structure is extremely unreasonable? "

The old Shoufu and the others looked at each other again, and even Xu Wanjun began to sit up straight.Everyone looked at Chen Yi together.

"The life of the common people is hard. Although the tax set by the Great Wu Dynasty is low, but for the common people, a penny and a catty of food are huge.

Once there is a famine, the government will cut taxes, but they never thought that the big taxpayers are ordinary people.Once the tax is cut, where will the money and food be used for disaster relief? "

"Can you deny it? Recently, the country has become a little stretched due to the disasters in various places and the expenses of various ministries. Isn't this the reason?"

The complexions of the old Shoufu and the others gradually changed.

Chen Yi glanced at them and continued:

"But it's different for aristocratic families and merchants. The state collects money from them and then spends it on the common people and them. Can they still object?
Say more"

Xu Wanjun smiled disdainfully: "The country has a million soldiers, what do they use to oppose it? Why do they oppose it?!"

Chen Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "That's right?!"

The old chief assistant looked at him deeply.

"After the bank is completely spread out, commercial circulation will definitely not be on the scale it is now, and Guochao only needs to pay a little attention to maintaining commercial and commercial routes.

Those merchants are eager to cry and beg the court to increase taxes!

Then, after the country has enough money and food, the aristocratic family..."

Before Chen Yi finished speaking, the old chief assistant suddenly laughed.

After interrupting Chen Yi's words, the old Chief Assistant solemnly patted Chen Yi on the shoulder:

"Go ahead and do it! No matter what you do, this old man will support you! But, remember, you have to eat food bite by bite, and you have to walk step by step on the road..."

Chen Yi thought for a while and solemnly handed over his hand.

"Okay, the two of you continue to discuss. We old men will not bother you."

The old Shoufu and the others took a deep look at Chen Yi, got up and left.

When Chen Yi and Xu Wanjun were completely out of sight, the old Shoufu suddenly spoke to the three old friends behind him:
"What do you think of Chen Yi?"

"Going down the mountain cub!"

"Rising Sun!"

"There are thousands of strategies in his chest, and the life and death of thousands of families in his heart."

The old Shoufu looked up at the direction of the imperial city, and suddenly smiled.

"Hehe, what a young tiger descending from the mountain, just rising to the sun, with the life and death of thousands of families in his heart! The future life is awesome..."

……

Not long after the old Shoufu left, Xu Wanjun also made up his mind.

After looking at Qianzhuang for a moment, Xu Wanjun gritted his teeth.

"Brother Yu did this for the millions of disaster victims in Longxi!"

As he said that, he slapped the table and got up, looking like he couldn't wait to go to the bank to pay the money.

But before Xu Wanjun got up, his sleeves suddenly tightened.

Xu Wanjun turned his head in confusion, just in time to meet Chen Yi's grinning face.

"Brother Zichen, if you don't bring this thing with you, how can you easily spend money?"

With that said, Chen Yi took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve.

"This is?"

Xu Wanjun was taken aback.

"Zi Shang, won't you go with me?"

"Go, this is the signature document signed by me, Chen Shangshu of the household department, and Li Gonggong, the chief treasurer of the bank. Only with this, can you disburse hundreds of thousands of silver from the bank.

With this, it is easier to use than myself. "

Chen Yi explained with a smile.

Xu Wanjun's face turned red and he stopped talking. After bowing solemnly to Chen Yi, he quickly walked towards the bank.

Just when Xu Wanjun was about to enter the bank, Chen Yi suddenly remembered something, his face froze slightly, he got up quickly, and followed Xu Wanjun quickly.

Xu Wanjun saw Chen Yi accidentally and his expression froze.

"Zi Shang, what's the matter? But what's wrong?"

"Hehe, what could be wrong?"

Chen Yi waved his hand, interrupted the shopkeeper of the bank to salute him, and explained with a light smile.

"I just suddenly remembered something."

Xu Wanjun looked at Chen Yi while handing the rice paper certificate jointly signed by several bank officials to the bank manager.

"What are you going to do with the 60 silver coins?"

Chen Yi pulled Xu Wanjun to one side.

"Zi Shang, what do you mean by that?"

Xu Wanjun was a little puzzled.

"What Yudi means is that you can't buy all the 60 yuan in the imperial capital for food, grass and disaster relief supplies. You should send people to disperse them and buy them together in Gyeonggi, Hedong, and Hanoi around the imperial capital..."

"Huh? Why bother?"

"Trouble?"

Chen Yi laughed dumbfounded, and explained patiently.

"If you buy in the same place, we don't care how much food and disaster relief supplies a city can sell.

If you buy such a large amount, won't those merchants increase the price? "

"Huh? These are all items used to relieve the victims of the disaster in Longxi. They are so brave that they dare to do this?!"

Xu Wanjun's face suddenly changed.

Chen Yi laughed completely.

This is the limitation of some ancient people's vision and experience. They often think of some things too simply and too ideally...
