Chapter 132 Isn’t it easy to make money?
[Of course they are dumb. If they don’t use real money on weekdays, of course they will complain. ]
[Now that they need money, they won’t be willing to spend it! ]
[Is the treasury so poor? The emperor is our boss. Isn’t it easy to make money? ]
The emperor’s ears stood up. He knew that the baby was going to say something.
The emperor did not forget to glare at several old ministers.
Several ministers also looked innocent. They had just tried their best, but they really couldn’t think of a solution.
They couldn’t take out the money at home to subsidize it.
Even if they were willing, it would be a drop in the bucket!
Several old men all looked bitter.
The emperor glared at them again, useless things.
The Minister of Rites blinked: If you have the ability, you can come up with a solution yourself?
The emperor choked. If he has a solution, why would he count on you?
[If you want to make money quickly, there are many ways.]
[Fight a few corrupt officials?]
[Mobilize wealthy businessmen to donate?]
[Or, sell something unique to the court, such as salt and lead!]
The emperor was shocked. These methods seemed very reliable.
Corrupt officials? They deserved to die. It’s okay to confiscate all their property.
For example, the Minister of Revenue who was fugitiveed last time had a lot of money at home.
Rich businessmen? They are all rich. You need to use your brain to ask them to donate money, otherwise they will be unhappy. You can’t just confiscate their property.
If so, who will dare to do business in the future?
The emperor pondered. The last method, salt and lead, who is in charge of this thing?
[There is a better way, the emperor chooses a concubine! ]
[This time, merchants can participate, they can participate with enough silver or grain! ]
[As for whether they can be selected, doesn’t it still depend on the emperor’s opinion? ]
The emperor?
She is really his good granddaughter, she wants him to sell himself!
Several adults looked at each other, their eyes sparkling.
The Minister of Revenue blinked at the old man beside him: This is a good method!
If those merchants knew, they would definitely try their best to get in.
The Minister of Rites nodded: The emperor has so many women in the palace, he doesn’t mind one or two more.
The Minister of War wanted to give a thumbs up. The little princess was awesome. She could think of such a trick to trick the master!
[However, even if there is money, how to provide disaster relief is still a problem.]
[After being stripped layer by layer, how much can the people use?]
Yuan Baobao's eyes were sad. She knew that the people had the hardest time.
Especially ordinary people. Just like the disaster areas now, those officials and wealthy businessmen have savings and can even go to other places.
But what about ordinary people?
Especially those farmers who work hard in the fields, still looking forward to when it will rain to improve the situation.
They can't leave their hometown easily.
Yuan Baobao lowered her head and wanted to calculate, but it was a pity that she was still too young to calculate such a big thing.
In fact, even if she could calculate it, she would try to use as little as possible.
The reason why she died in the previous life was because of the country's destiny.
Although the fortune of a place is not as costly as the national destiny,
it is also very detrimental to one's life span.
Yuan Baobao lowered his head guiltily.
"Who is in charge of Yanyin now?"
The emperor had already made a decision, but several old ministers still had some regrets. They thought the emperor would choose a concubine?
[In fact, corruption is easy to prevent.]
Yuan Baobao just thought about it for a while, and when he heard the emperor asking about Yanyin, he perked up.
The emperor slapped his forehead in annoyance. The little girl was still thinking about it. He thought she had stopped.
The emperor stopped talking. Several old ministers were still waiting to hear the little girl's voice, but they didn't hear it for a long time.
【Hey, who has the salt-tip?】
Yuan Baobao was curious and anxious when no one spoke.
"Ahem, who has the salt-tip?"
The emperor asked again. At this time, the Minister of Revenue hurried forward:
"Your Majesty, I will go down and check it out."
【This Minister of Revenue is not qualified. He doesn't even know such a small matter.】
【Well, there is no need for the emperor to sacrifice his appearance. Just take back the salt-tip and auction it off. The highest bidder wins.】
【This news is released in advance. I believe many people will be interested.】
The emperor nodded. This makes sense.
【In the past, the salt-tip was obtained through connections. This is the first time to auction it off, and it can be calculated by year!】
Yuan Baobao yawned and was a little tired.
Eunuch Wei took Yuan Baobao back. Liu Jiaojiao was relieved to see her daughter finally come back!
Yuan Baobao lay in her mother's arms obediently!
[Alas, not many people in the capital know about the drought now, so just buy some food in advance. ]
Liu Jiaojiao's body stiffened, drought?
She had never heard of it, but her daughter said so, otherwise...
Liu Jiaojiao touched the little girl's head: "Baby, how is your aunt?"
"She went back."
Yuan Baobao can only say a limited number of words, and she can't even say long sentences?
[That Chen Shimei has body odor, and Aunt Yuehua smelled it and ran away. ]
[Should I give up? ]
Liu Jiaojiao's mouth twitched, body odor?
This... is indeed a bit embarrassing, especially to find a man with body odor, and to be together day and night in the future, life will be quite interesting!
[I want my father to help buy food, even 100,000 taels can be used to buy food.]
Yuan Baobao is still worried about the drought.
Liu Jiaojiao was moved. Usually she only thought that the little girl was greedy, but just now she knew that the little girl was so sensible.
100,000 taels to buy food, is this a decision to donate to the people in the disaster area?
What a kind-hearted little girl.
As a mother, I must fully support my daughter.
"Baby, let me take you to your grandparents' house."
Food in the capital is a little more expensive than outside. The elder brother and the second brother used to be businessmen, so it is cheaper to buy food in other places.
Liu Jiaojiao's mind was working quickly, but Yuan Baobao was already dazed. The little guy was really tired after a busy day!
When Prince Yi came back, he heard that his wife had gone to the Liu family again, so he hurried to follow.
After Yuan Baobao's birthday, he went to the border to deal with the affairs of the Jiang family. He
came back after more than half a year, and he was busy again.
It was rare for him to go home early, and his wife and daughter were not there.
Prince Yi was almost depressed.
At this time in the Liu family, Old Master Liu saw Yuan Baobao and Xiao Shitou coming over, and happily hugged one with one hand.
Xiao Shitou didn't resist them anymore, and looked at him with a silly look, wanting to hug him.
It's a pity that the kid didn't even look at her. She didn't know how many times she cried secretly.
But who can she blame? She was the one who was sorry for the kid. After all, the kid had some resistance to her!
"Dad, I came here today because I want to hear your opinion on something."
Liu Jiaojiao didn't hesitate and spoke directly.
Yuan Baobao pricked up his ears and was also very curious about what his mother was going to do.
"What is it? So serious?"
