In such peaceful days, Zhao Xing is gradually becoming mature and comprehensive. (⊙o⊙)… Although this progress cannot be clearly stated to outsiders, and cannot immediately show its power and effect, only Zhao Xing himself knows that it is actually a very important thing to think about the almost self-harm of the ethnic group alone in many people's quiet nights.

A general who manages the country can ensure that his country is not invaded by foreign enemies within 20 or 30 years; an enlightened and kind monarch can maintain the country's prosperity within 5 or 60 years; a sage who seeks to think about the future for the nation and the country can allow his ethnic group to last for thousands of years.

Zhao Xing did not want to be the kind of sage who could develop unique knowledge for the sake of continuing the past, because he knew that no thought or theory in this world could become unique knowledge unchanged. The so-called "unique knowledge" is the saying that later generations deceive people in the name of maintaining the founding thinkers and seeking benefits for themselves. Once a theory becomes a "unique knowledge", it is enough to make the believers of future generations go to a dead end!

Just as Zhao Xing was thinking hard, the end of the year was approaching, and the two general managers, Liu Jili and Qin Yilu, came together to ask Zhao Xing for the distribution of New Year gift packages to the people according to the past practice. However, this time the situation changed a little because in addition to the two of them, those who came to pay their respects to Zhao Xing also had Mi Zhu from the East China Sea.

Mi Zhu arrived in Wohu City more than a month ago. This brother-in-law who was busy with Zhao Xing, came to Wohu City this time as the general logistics officer of the Qingzhou and Xuzhou Legions. He applied for funds and military supplies from Zhao Xing.

Before the three of them came to meet Zhao Xing, they all learned from several of Zhao Xing's wives that Zhao Xing seemed to have become possessed recently. They often locked themselves in the study room for a long time without any movement. Sometimes they looked at the map covered with walls and thought hard, and sometimes they looked at the words "constitutionalism", "monarchy power", "people's livelihood" written on the white paper and frowned. However, several wives all said that Zhao Xing's temper had not changed much, and was still as gentle as ever, and occasionally they would be distracted and stunned.

Since Zhao Xing has a good temper, Liu Jili, Qin Yilu and Mi Zhu don’t mind coming to disturb or bother Zhao Xing. After all, he gave a gift worth 20 million taels of silver like a boy with a wealthy gift. It would probably be sad for several days if anyone’s turn was going to.

After entering the mansion with a familiarity, the three of them thought they would wait outside Zhao Xing's study door for a while, but they didn't expect that Zhao Xing would have greeted him with a smile on his face.

Zhao Xing smiled and said to everyone: "I'm just free today. You guys come to have a few drinks with me, give me a gift pack for the New Year, and add additional funds and military supplies to the Qingxu Army. Let's chat slowly at the table!"

The three of them were puzzled and thought that something happy happened to the King of Pingxi today, and they had to keep themselves in the mansion for dinner.

After the food and food were served, there were no outsiders, so everyone ate and chatted.

Mi Zhu couldn't help but say: "Guochang doesn't have to worry too much about the increase in military expenditure of the Qingzhou Legion and the Xuzhou Legion. I came here this time mainly to confirm a few things with you. As for the military expenditure lacking in the two legions, it can actually be solved based on this state."

Zhao Xing asked, "I wonder what things Brother Zizhong has to confirm with me?"

Mi Zhu replied: "The funds allocated to each legion every year through branches of the Agricultural, Military, Commercial and Financial Bank in each state are handled at the beginning of the year, and the funds required by each legion are allocated in one go. I think it is better to set up an investment coordination office in each legion, so that each legion can invest the funds that are not used temporarily into short-term construction projects that are urgently needed in the state, and then the government warehouse of the state is located to repay a monthly interest. In this way, the increased military expenditure required by the two legions will be settled!"

As soon as Mi Zhu's suggestion was released, it immediately attracted the exclamation of Liu Jili and Qin Yilu. They really didn't expect Mi Zhu to be so experienced in financial management. After hearing Mi Zhu's suggestion, Zhao Xing was very satisfied and agreed on the spot.

Mi Zhu also said: "The expenses of the Jin Navy have always been among the top of all armies. Now, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Dongsheng, and the newly occupied Bianhan and other places can be connected through maritime trade routes. I suggest that the Jin Navy set up a maritime trade fleet in front of it to attract merchants from all over the country to participate, and determine the dividend ratio based on the investment, shipment and manpower."

"In this way, it can not only make up for the funding gap in the development of the Jin Navy, but also promote commercial development in coastal areas! I have calculated a rough account that if this matter is operated, the water transportation alone can raise 10 million taels of silver for the navy in a year! If the development lasts three or five years, the wealth you may earn is more than 20 million taels."

Mi Zhu's idea was once again praised by everyone. Zhao Xing therefore appointed Mi Zhu as the head of the business of the Jin Navy and was fully responsible for managing the financial management of the navy in the future.

Next, Liu Jili and Qin Yilu reported to Zhao Xing in detail the operation of the farm, soldiers, merchants and financial stores over the past year, the tax revenue and expenditure of government officials in various places, and the total amount of new wealth added to various places.

After listening to the report of the two, Zhao Xing was very satisfied. He said: "Although the funds on the books of the government treasury in various prefectures and counties are always less money, judging from the growth rate of new wealth among the people, the operation and investment of governments at all levels are obviously successful. Although only a few counties with highly developed commerce in Jin have begun to feed back the farmers, soldiers, merchants and financial stores, more than half of the other counties have reached a balance of income and expenditure. By this time next year, we will have a large amount of remaining funds to use!"

Qin Yilu reminded Zhao Xing with a little guilty conscience: "The problem is that we don't have much spare money now, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, so the issue of giving large gift packages to the people is undesirable..."

Liu Jili said nothing, and the expression on his face fully demonstrated how much he supported Qin Yilu's words.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhao Xing did not look anxious or worried at all. He said confidently: "I have already thought about the big gift package to relax this year for everyone! Not only does it not require us to invest too much money, but it can also make the people happy after receiving it!"

When the other three people in the table heard this, they all looked at Zhao Xing with bright eyes because they really couldn't think of any way to "get a waste of money" to overcome the difficulties in front of them.

Zhao Xing did not keep it a secret. He said: "Just just now, the funds we can use now are about 8 million taels of funds, which is enough. We have managed 12 million people and more than 2 million households. This year, each household will issue New Year's goods worth half a tael of silver, which will take about 5 million taels. The remaining three million taels will be used as a medical fund for serious illnesses, one million taels as a poverty alleviation and relief fund, and the last one million taels as a casualty pension fund for the protection of ** soldiers. Once these three funds are established, many people can benefit for life..."

Zhao Xing said three "rooster gold" in one breath, and he was confused by Mi Zhu, Liu Jili and Qin Yilu. ~
