Just now they felt that Duan Wang's attitude was modest and gentle, but they didn't expect his nature to be as much as the rumors.

"Fourteen, there is no room for false speech in the court. What you say is responsible for what you say. You need to think about it before you talk about it!" The chatter in the court was buzzing, and the emperor couldn't stand it any longer, and reminded him.

Although the emperor heard Ming Yu reveal a little bit of wind, saying that he would find a way to make the Xiqi Corridor pass the resolution, he never thought that Ming Yu would say such a big thing. Can this problem be solved by one person? If it were so easy, the court would have come up with a solution long ago.

Ming Yu saluted the emperor, and said with a sworn oath, "Don't worry, the emperor, my son is sure to dare to say this."

The emperor had a headache, and he didn't know whether he should trust Ming Yu's words, or he should not put his hopes on Ming Yu.

Ming Yu blinked at the emperor, "Could it be that the father and the emperor still don't believe in the son?"

The emperor stretched out his hand to support his forehead, "Then tell me what kind of solution you will have?"

Ming Yu should be, with a charming smile, he is now in the center of the hall, and all eyes are on him. Now that the emperor has spoken, okay, let's see what he has to say.

"The state treasury has no money, I know. I don't understand. The Ministry of Households has no money, so won't it increase revenue and reduce expenditure? Isn't it still a glorious thing that the state can't get money? Look at Dayan's financial losses every year, don't even think about it. Change and enterprising, step by step, and rest on your laurels, there will never be a way out.”

As soon as these words came out, Zou Chang's face suddenly turned blue and white, and a mouthful of old blood was choked in his throat and almost didn't spit out. The officials of the Ministry of Household, and even the Minister of the Ministry of Household, also had a gloomy expression on their faces.

"Old minister...Old minister is ashamed. It's just that natural and man-made disasters have occurred frequently in these years, so tax revenue has not been satisfactory, so...there is today's situation." Zou Chang took a breath and explained.

Dayan is based on agriculture, and almost all expenditures are run on agricultural taxes. And because the emperor stipulated the 15th tax when he took office, and no additional tax was allowed, it has never been changed in the past few decades.

It was fine at the beginning, but with the war every year, the expenditure on armament has also increased year by year, and that tax will basically be maintained. In recent years, the south of Dayan has been hit by disasters again. Taxes have been reduced a lot. In addition, the disaster relief costs are huge. They had no choice but to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and they had to eat the grain.

Ming Yu shook his head, and now people's vision is about as small as this. "So, let's open source. In the future that this king is planning now, the value created by this Xiqi Corridor is much higher than the agricultural tax. Now the opportunity is in front of you. Instead of actively fighting for it, you try to block it. , I really don't know what you think."

Zou Chang was so angry that he really didn't have back pain when he stood talking. Open source and reduce expenditure, everyone knows that open source and cost-saving, but the real open source and cost-saving is not an easy task, and it is not something that can be achieved by just touching two lips together.

The Minister of the Household couldn't help but stand up and said, "Duanwang's words are bad. If I waited to block it, even if I didn't block it, I would not be able to take out the silver taels. It is also written in the prince's booklet, the construction of the Xiqi Corridor. The cost of silver taels is not low."

Ming Yu smiled, "This silver tael does not need a penny from the national treasury, and this king will handle it alone. How about it? Are you still stopping it?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. He didn't need to pay taels of silver from the treasury. Where did he get the money from Mingyu? Even if the emperor's small treasury still has this private housing subsidy, it can't be enough, right?

Zou Chang laughed in anger, "Since we don't need a penny from the treasury, then we don't have to hold on to it."

"Okay!" Ming Yu clapped his hands, and then respectfully said to the emperor: "However, there is one more condition for my son here, and I also ask the father and the emperor to agree. The ministers are also here to bear witness."

The emperor nodded, already used to seeing Ming Yu playing cards unreasonably, Ming Yu was not surprised at all, "You say it!"

"Erchen is in charge of the Xiqi Corridor and does not let the imperial treasury contribute a penny, but I don't want a swarm of people to stare at this fragrant pastry with jealousy. Even if you want to go to the imperial court, it will take at least ten years, and the income of these ten years, even if the hard investment of Erchen has paid for the rent." Ming Yu rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

Even if he took out a loan for investment, as for the object of the loan, of course, whoever has the money to look for it. He looked at the emperor with bright eyes, "Imperial Father, if you have spare money, you can also invest some of it, and then the minister will give you dividends, and even the principal and profit will be earned back for you."

The emperor waved his hand angrily, like chasing flies, "Go, go, don't even think about it." After that, he looked at the courtiers below, "What do you say?"

Zou Chang was the first to stand up, "Since Duan Wang said so, the old minister has nothing to say, I agree!"

Xue Lun also stood up, "If King Duan can solve the problem of the defensive force himself, I would have nothing to say." After he finished speaking, he looked at Ming Yu, obviously wanting to see what Ming Yu said.

"The strength of the troops is easy to say. I will not use the defenders of Shi Chongguan, but ask to recruit troops. The number of recruits can be determined according to the defense capacity of Xiqi Corridor. Of course, these soldiers are still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court." Ming Yu explained his plan. Say it.
