Chapter 1674 Auction

"Saiyuan House and Lisheng House also need a lot of food every day. I thought that after the high-yield grains were harvested this year, they could send some to the border gates, but looking at the current appearance of the capital, the risk is still very high."

"However, except for the capital and its surrounding areas, the weather is good and the people's lives are very normal. We still need to raise more food as soon as possible, so that the Marquis of Ning'an and General Rong will have no worries."

"And if the chaos in the capital spreads to the frontier, it is estimated that the morale of the enemy will greatly increase. I will never allow this to happen."

"So, I don't know, dear gentlemen, is there any way to raise food quickly?"

A minister asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, is the treasury already out of food?"

Helian Rongjiu said: "Of course not, of course there is money in the treasury, I just don't want to take money from the treasury to empty the treasury as soon as something happens, it would be great if Zhong Aiqing could find a way to raise food and wages. Of course, let's not mention the method of tax increase. Now the tax is heavy enough, and it has to be collected now. Xuanqing is a big country, and the order is passed on and then collected. I don't know when it will be delivered to the capital. slow."

, etc. are all collected, it is estimated that the drought will pass, and then it will be of little significance.

Everyone immediately looked at each other in dismay. To raise food and salaries, the emperors of all dynasties had to increase taxes. This was the easiest way.

Even without raising taxes, they have to raise food, they really can’t think of a way.

I heard that His Majesty has a lot of imperial estates and businesses in his hands. Could it be that he did not make much money for His Majesty this year?

Helian Rongjiu waited for a long time, seeing that they were just talking to each other without any substantive suggestions, and suddenly coughed lightly: "If there is nothing you can do, dear gentlemen, I have a good solution."

Prime Minister Suo said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are all ears."
