Chapter 669

Dong Cheng smiled and said:

"Come on, your boy is used to running around. How can you know the surplus of this restaurant? You don't have to say the detailed number, but how much more than Qian Shangshu."

Qian didn't dare to speak. He looked at his master.

At this time, Qian Qianyi didn't understand. He had to look at the money with a black face and say angrily:

"Dong Shilang asked. To tell you the truth, sir, can I cut you down?"

Qian looked bitter gourd and said helplessly:

"He doesn't have much to do with this. Sir, if you count the winter and summer supplements, you'll have dozens less."

Qian Qianyi almost pulled off his beard and took a breath of air conditioning. Qian Qianyi said to Su Lu with a black face:

"My Lord, I have a very high salary to support my family. These servants, chariots and horses are safe to eat and wear. I didn't expect this small restaurant to make so much money."

Su Lu nodded and said to Qian Qianyi:

"Merchant taxation must be carried out as soon as possible. In order to raise shipbuilding money, Li Kun and Wang Si beat the autumn wind of many businesses. Although they made a lot of money, it was a drop in the bucket compared with the money earned by merchants."

Qian Qianyi pinched his beard and said angrily:

"Heavy taxes must be paid. If everyone can earn so much, everyone in the world will become a merchant."

After dinner, they discussed the meeting and decided to set up a new taxation yamen proposed by Qian Qianyi tomorrow to determine taxes and increase the revenue of the court.

The next day, as soon as Qian Qianyi's new proposal came out, it immediately turned a huge wave in the imperial court.

There are endless voices of Crusades. We should not compete for profits with the people. The country should not pay too much money. The heavy taxes should not be taken by the Ming king. All of them are words of advice.

Li Qingqi went back to the back palace and told Su Lu about it.

Su Lu put down his brush and asked Li Qing:

"Do you remember those officials who said that the country and the dynasty could not compete for profits with the people and could not impose heavy taxes?"

Li Qing is a little strange:

"Remember what they are doing? These corrupt scholars, when did I compete for profits with the people? Qian Qianyi just suggested, just like digging their ancestral graves."

Su Lu took his book, looked at it carefully, and said casually:

"If they are dismissed or investigated, they will certainly find a lot of dirty silver."

"There must be no problem building several large ships. Maybe a fleet has enough money."

Li Qing is dubious:

"How is it possible? Although their official positions are not small, it is not easy to live in the capital. How much money can they save?"

Su Lu handed the brochure to Li Qing:

"You just go and copy the house. You've cut off your head. None of them is wronged."

Li Qing was a little stunned for a moment. She wanted to believe Su Lu, but those who advised her were not low officials. If they were corrupt officials, she had been diligent in government in the past, wouldn't it have had no effect.

"Is this the taxation yamen?"

Li Qing glanced at the booklet in his hand and asked Su Lu in surprise. The courtiers didn't agree. Even if it was well written, what could it be.

"I'm afraid it can't be carried out."

Li Qing took the booklet with some regret. When Qian Qianyi proposed taxation, she thought she had found a new way to increase taxes. Unexpectedly, it was not the case at all. The opposition of the ministers made the proposal come to an end before it was discussed.

Su Lu waved his hand:

"Who said you had been promoted in the court, and even the courtiers were obstructing them?" first, they should not be implemented in the central court, and the elite guards should be transferred from the big guards and the guards to form a new Guard Pro army.

"If the Treasury doesn't want this money, the internal Treasury will accept it. As for the tax collectors, they are naturally his Majesty's direct subordinates, sending loyal officials to create new revenue for the country“

Li Qingmei's eyes all laughed. It seems very good to say so.

Sug walked quickly into the palace, saluted them and said:

"Tell the king, your majesty, the envoys of the Malian people have arrived with the envoys."

Li Qing looked up at Su Ge, corrected her and said:

"The envoys of the Mahli have arrived?"

Suger said respectfully:

"Yes, your majesty, the envoys of the Mahli have arrived with the envoys."

Su Lu waved his hand, motioned Su Ge to bring in people, and then explained to Li Qing:

"It should be the envoys of the south of the Malians who came with the envoys of the north of the Malians. Although the north and South are both Malians, these two sides are not one envoys."

Before long, two quick envoys entered the temple.

"Foreign minister shantes has seen her majesty and her majesty."

"Foreign minister Nelson has seen her majesty and the Lord."

Li Qing waved their hands and asked shantes:

"General shantes, are you here on behalf of his Majesty the emperor?"

According to the information of the Ding Wei, Ma Li has been completely divided. The South established the younger brother of the former Emperor as the emperor, and the north still maintained the original imperial court. However, now it has been beaten and retreated, and orthodoxy will not be orthodoxy.

Shantes glared at Nelson next to him when he heard the speech, and his tone was impulsive:

"The foreign minister represents his Majesty the great emperor. Although he came with me, he is just a disorderly minister and thief. Your majesty doesn't have to care about him."

Nelson snorted coldly, but this is the palace of the Han Dynasty. He didn't dare to use force, but just said:

"We're not here to fight. We're here for that group of prisoners. Let's use our skills and don't talk about these idle articles."

Shantes turned to Li Qing, suppressed the anger in his voice, and said excitedly:

"Lord, your army has 46000 soldiers. According to your opinion, it is one hundred Liang silver per person. The foreign minister has brought three million Liang this time. He wants to redeem 30000 people. Please allow him."

Nelson's voice rushed in:

"Tell the Lord, the foreign minister also brought a lot of silver this time. Although there is not three million, it is enough to redeem a small number of sergeants. The foreign minister is willing to pay the price of two hundred and twenty-one people this time in exchange for only the elite among the captured sergeants."

Next to Li Qingwen, his eyes lit up. The price of one hundred Liang was high enough. Nelson took the initiative to raise the price. It seems that sharp people have a lot of money.

Su Lu waved his hand:

"Replacement is OK, but the one with the highest price will choose first. Let general Nelson choose first this time."

Su Lu said with a smile, how much you can choose and how much you can take away is not your money.

"Thank you, Lord"

Nelson said excitedly. Sure enough, money is everything. Shantes is a poor man, and his silver is limited. He will not be willing to increase the price. Those elite will soon become his own people.

"I don't agree. I'll raise the price."

Shantes blushed and his voice was excited.

Now the two countries are hostile. If these prisoners can't be taken away by themselves, they will fall into the hands of the southern rebels. At that time, I can't explain to your majesty. I'm afraid I can't take back the silver.

It's better to raise the price.
