After Li Ji and his brother Li Gongcao buried Li Gu, they left the Great Zhou.

He did not ask for Ye Hua's one million guan, but only won 100,000 guan, and the 200 warriors refused. He selected twenty of the young people from the Li family.

As a big family, Li Gu has many children, nephews and grandchildren. Although Li Gu's case did not involve his younger family, it was very difficult for the son of a corrupt official to gain a foothold. He could not pass the imperial examination alone.

Li Ji told them very clearly that you can stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty and live in a vain life, or go to Japan with him, hold your head and fight for a way out with your life.

After three days of thinking, more than twenty people finally stood up.

Li Ji was not in a hurry to leave. He gathered twenty people together, went to the military camp for training, and paid for muskets.

According to the rules of the court, ordinary people can apply for a coercion, and only need to submit a detailed application for use and pay a huge sum of money.

Li Ji spent 30,000 guan to buy weapons.

The children of the Li family have all studied. They have received a complete set of military training and have become famous for about three months. During this period, Li Ji bought three more ships and recruited a group of sailors.

It cost half of the 100,000 yuan... It was not until he felt that it was almost done that he took his family to Japan.

This kid is very smart. He set off just the same time as Chai Shouli's fleet, so he can use Chai Shouli's majesty to ensure safety.

Even if you encounter pirates or storms, you won't lose your life...

"Dad, look at it, I will do a grand career!"

Li Ji shouted at the vast sea like a madman, exhausted and dry mouth. Then he lay on the deck and looked at the blue sky, his thoughts were very confused.

Among the young people who entered the officialdom like him, the second generation of children, Wei Xianmei, Fan Gao, Liu Kai, etc.... There are a lot of them. They are all steadily improving their official positions, but because of their father's involvement, they have to die overseas. I don't know if they will meet in the future!

Look, one day, I will use piles of gold to kill you!

Li Ji smiled foolishly, picked up his father's booklet, read it carefully, and absorbed the nutrients. Whether it was written by Li Gu or Ye Hua's instructions, they were all the most outstanding money-making experts in the world.

Not everyone can get access to advanced financial knowledge. Li Ji feels like he is holding a map to wealth. On the last page of the booklet, there is indeed a map drawn by Ye Hua. He marks Li Ji the locations of several large gold and silver mines.

If the boy had the means and luck, it would not be difficult to achieve his goal of earning 30 million taels in a few years... Ye Hua really hoped that he would succeed, and it would be a big and big one.

It’s not because of Li Gu’s relationship, but because Ye Hua is willing to support anyone who is brave enough to explore.

The Great Zhou has basically achieved unification. According to many people's views, it seems that as long as the emperor is wise, wise, ministers are honest and honest, and with the hard work of the people, he can enter a prosperous era in a few decades, which will be enough to be recorded in history.

This is how it has been through all dynasties!

Ye Hua sneered at this idea.

It is precisely because of this that it has been going around for two thousand years and cannot get out of the cycle of governance and chaos.

Never underestimate the hard work of the people, nor should you underestimate the Han people's ability to create wealth.

Grain, cloth, and more and more commodities are emerging, and there is urgent need for sufficient currency to be used for pricing.

In the Dazhou society, about 90% of them are still farmers. Due to the implementation of equal land in some areas, small farmers occupy the vast majority, chasing the rise and selling the fall, blindly following, dispersing, and inefficient... It is very difficult to manage such rural areas.

Without enough money to support it, the court could not regulate the economy at all.

"In the past, the court believed in old ministers too much!"

Wei Xianmei said without hesitation: "Among the three departments, salt and iron are also listed as a separate item and regarded as the main source of wealth, which is simply stupid! In fact, among the financial and taxation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, three years ago, commercial tax accounted for 30%, and now it has climbed to 45%. The remaining land transfer, mining development, and overseas trade accounted for nearly 20%. The traditional land tax was only more than 30% left!"

Wei Xianmei knocked on the table and criticized loudly, "In this case, the court was wise to abolish the Three Sessions, but the Three Sessions were abolished and returned to the Six Sessions system. The Minister of Revenue led all the finance, taxation and civil affairs. So many things were entrusted to one person! I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking!"

Listening to his son's increasingly arrogant words, Wei Renpu was so angry that he cursed, "Baby, you finally came back, so he made a big fuss. You can also discuss the saints? What should you do with the imperial government system? You can't argue with you. Do you think your father is living too well and hope to let me and Li Gu be your companion?"

Wei Xianmei quickly shrank her neck and didn't dare to stop talking.

But he didn't agree with it in his heart and was very dissatisfied. After years of training, he felt that the Great Zhou Dynasty was different from the previous dynasties, but the imperial court's official system had not been adjusted accordingly.

It's like a person with a huge body but only a small head, slow and clumsy, which is very inappropriate.

After holding up a meal, Wei Xianmei spoke again, "Dad, let's not talk about anything else, I probably only need four ministers and eight ministers in terms of finance and taxation household registration!"

"fart!"

Wei Renpu cursed: "The six ministries have only six ministers in total. Are you planning to let all four of them go to the Ministry of Revenue?"

Wei Xianmei argued: "No matter who I go, the Ministry of Revenue is to reform... First, we must take out the branch, be responsible for planning the budget, supervise the financial operation, and secondly, we must take out the commercial tax and levy separately. Thirdly, there are so many coal mines and iron mines across the country, and we must have special personnel to manage them. All of these are taken out. The remaining land tax is the main business of the Ministry of Revenue!"

He calculated by counting on his fingers, did he need four ministers?

Wei Renpu listened silently, and his son's words actually made sense. Whether it was the Political Affairs Hall or the Cabinet, he could feel that the Ministry of Revenue was getting heavier and more and more things were being managed.

For every tax, the Ministry of Revenue needs to increase personnel. It turns out that the imperial court gave only so many customizations, but the Ministry of Revenue can only recruit people from outside to make up the numbers, which makes it very embarrassing.

It is necessary to add officials, but now is not the time to mention them.

"Boy, Your Majesty has arrested hundreds of people during this period, all of whom are Li Gu's followers. It seems that they are going to die forever. Don't make a fuss now. Dad will find a way to operate and put you in a good position! In this way, you will have almost finished your experience. I'm going to let you go to the Hanlin Academy!"

"What?" Wei Xianmei was shocked, "What are you doing in Hanlin Academy? I don't want to be with a group of sour and rotten pedantics!"

"Shut up!" Wei Renpu felt more and more difficult to control his son. The Hanlin Academy had no power, but he could get close to His Majesty the Emperor. Many people climbed up from the Hanlin Bachelor and Xuan Ma worshipped the prime minister!

My son has enough experience outside and needs to raise his hopes in the Hanlin Academy in Qinggui. When he has enough qualifications, he can be elected to the cabinet and become the prime minister of a country.

"Dad!" Wei Xianmei was not convinced at all, "What's the time? I'll use your old mind to look at the problem. Look, the court handled the Li Gu case and would definitely completely reform the official system and vigorously promote the new policy. It was the time when the heroes made great achievements. They ran to the Hanlin Academy and were simply ignorant!"

"Shut up, shut up!"

Wei Renpu was so angry that he burst into tears, "You don't need to say anything, everything is arranged by your father! Just be honest and obedient!"

Wei Xianmei lowered her head and her eyes were circling, making me obedient and not think about it!

The younger generation will not be able to let the older generation mercy, and they even feel that the lords in the court are too old to keep up with the changes of the times.

Building roads in Bashu was originally a good thing that benefited the country and the people, but the officials in the court tried every means to obstruct them. In addition, Luzon Island had fallen into the hands of the Great Zhou, and there was no way to immigrate vigorously. There was also Annan, which was obviously a fertile land of thousands of miles, but he didn't know how to develop it.

It is really a hindrance to let these old people take power.
