Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace.

Along the way, he pretended to be worried, but he became energetic.

The prince, that stupid boy... I was so sleepy that I just sent a pillow.

When he arrived at Fengtian Hall, Emperor Hongzhi sat down and immediately summoned Liu Jian and others to meet.

Liu Jian and the other two came to pay a salute. It was getting late at this time. It was almost time to pay the deposit. His Majesty suddenly summoned him, which made them feel a little strange.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at them and suddenly laughed: "Have you heard of the Ten-Full Great Replenishment?"

Liu Jian and the other two looked at each other.

This topic was a bit sudden.

But when it comes to this... they feel a little guilty.

Because although the three of them are still honest, they are definitely not unkind people.

For example, there are still common ritual exchanges. After all, with so many disciples and officials, you can't be too stern and keep everyone out.

There are so many of these ten-full-tonifying dews in the three families, and they are all seen by others in a clever way.

Liu Jian and the other two never expected that His Majesty would mention this thing specifically.

Liu Jian coughed with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi was holding back his hands and did not want Liu Jian to interrupt himself. He said lightly: "Can the Prince and Fang Qing family build workshops to sell the Shiquan Dalu, how much profit can they make every year?"

Liu Jian and the other two looked at each other again.

Your Majesty is this crazy?

It’s just a small workshop, and Your Majesty actually cares about it?

Emperor Hongzhi said with a unique smile: "I have calculated it for them. This year's income is 3,000 to 50 million taels of silver..."

Three thousand and five thousand are nothing, but adding one ten thousand words to the end is completely different.

Liu Jian's pupils immediately contracted, and his whole body trembled, feeling that his breathing was about to stop.

Li Dongyang looked dazed and stupid.

Xie Qian stared at Emperor Hongzhi with his eyes fixed on him without saying a word.

The new tax system has begun to be piloted gradually, and the national treasury income has continued to rise. Last year's annual income has reached more than 36 million taels of silver. Of course... this is just that the real tax system has not been expanded. The growth this year is mostly gratifying, but I am afraid that it will increase a lot more.

But even so... this is just a small workshop. How did it rise to this point?

The eyes are red and the ears are hot.

If I had so much money, how much could I do in my position as a prime minister? Isn’t it easy to become a virtuous prime minister?

But why... the silver is like I have grown legs and feet, and I am all going to the prince and Fang Jifan for the dog things?

The three of them pursed their lips and kept silent.

Although I was so hot, I knew that the money had nothing to do with me. I just listened, and then exclaimed, and finally tried hard not to think about it.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to see the thoughts of the three of them and smiled and said, "I made a bet with the prince. If I can run that workshop well, I will hand it over to the court. I have decided that if I get this workshop, half of it will be returned to the treasury and half of it. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue. All the silvers are used to enrich the national treasury and the treasury. What do the three noble families think?"

Liu Jian immediately widened his eyes and became disbelief.

In this way... isn't it... Isn't it... the annual annual income of the treasury can add an additional 10 or 20 million taels of silver?

This...is like a great joy from heaven.

Liu Jian said excitedly: "Just business?"

"Not bad." Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded: "Just management!"

"You only need to run such a mere small workshop? Your Majesty, I wonder how much manual labor is there in this workshop?"

"It's just a thousand people." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other.

Both of them can see ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Liu Jian smiled and said, "It's too simple if only a thousand people are there. Your Majesty... The old minister is not boasting. Not to mention a thousand people, even a thousand people, or even a hundred thousand people, is just a matter of "Anything, your Majesty and I will definitely win this bet."

Xie Qian also said: "The old minister is not boasting. When he was governing the river, the old minister was ordered to rule the workshop of 70,000 craftsmen and civilians, and what is the only 1,000 workshop?"

Even Li Dongyang couldn't help but think.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly giving away money, but I don’t know what intentions are behind this.

Emperor Hongzhi cheered up: "Yes, I think it's just a small workshop, but I really can't bear to take their workshop, but the prince is too arrogant. If I don't sharpen him, he will not know how to teach him. I have already thought about it. In the past two days, I will go with Liu Qing and Li Qing. Xie Qing's family will be on duty here. Li Qing's family is the Minister of Revenue. He is the best at money and grain. Liu Qing's family is my chief assistant and is the best at making a decision. I am in charge of the center, and this workshop... is determined to win."

Xie Qian couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard that he had to stay in the cabinet.

But after thinking about it carefully, I used three knives to kill a chicken. Is it still possible to use this one?

I am in the cabinet, waiting for the good news.

It’s good to have money. The natives over there rebelled and needed extra money to pay. This year, Guanzhong is a great wasteland again...

The four kings and ministers all danced, and a group of people over 200 years old together. At this moment, they were all full of competitive and rejuvenated.

…………

The next morning, just after the payment, Chen Tong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was inexplicably called to go.

Then, he met the emperor in the palace.

The emperor was wearing casual clothes, and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were also like this, both wearing Rushan.

This made Chen Tong, who was unknown, feel very unusual.

When Li Dongyang saw Chen Tong coming, he said to Emperor Hongzhi without waiting for Chen Tong to salute, "Your Majesty, this is the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He is very responsible in the Ministry of Revenue. He is an economic talent and his right-hand man. For the sake of stability, I think it is better to call this person together."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chen Tong carefully and nodded.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Your family... are cautious in the end, but being cautious is good. I originally wanted to summon Wang Bushi from the Hanlin Academy, but this Wang Bushi is just a Hanlin class. Although he understands the way of trade, this kind of thing is not useful after all. Besides, I and the ministers are enough. No matter how many people there are, it seems that I am bullying that boy."

Chen Tong looked carefully at Emperor Hongzhi and the two cabinet masters, and always felt that they were secretly happy.

Why...what is a good thing?

Soon, he understood what was going on.

His Majesty brought three people out of the palace, and Li Dongyang secretly told him about the bet.

After hearing this, Chen Tong laughed at the ear: "There is really something that has fallen from the sky in the world. The official... the official... the official... the official... the haha..."

The four of them arrived at the workshop in a happy mood.

According to the rules, each other's identities are kept confidential.

Emperor Hongzhi and several ministers lived in this workshop these days.

Within half a month, he was completely managed by Emperor Hongzhi and declared to the public that he had changed his master here. If the revenue rose within half a month, Emperor Hongzhi would win.

But if revenue declines, Emperor Hongzhi loses.

Fang Jifan was very considerate. He seemed to be afraid that Emperor Hongzhi, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and others knew nothing about the Ten-Lotus Dew, so he took them to the sheds everywhere and happily gave him a hint of what this process was done and what that process was done.

Liu Jian and others were overwhelmed and dumbfounded.

Ten-full big tonic...

That's how it was made?

This dog thing...

But now the matter is important.

Li Dongyang and Chen Tong concluded that the four people present were all the most intelligent people in the world. They understood at a glance and immediately understood what was going on in this workshop.

Therefore, Chen Tong gave Li Dongyang a firm look, as if saying, look at it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao began to make a settlement with Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi was anxious to take office. Although he thought this was ridiculous, he also felt that after earning so much money and putting it on the prince, he didn't know how he would squander it. It would be better to put it on me and the treasury, which would be beneficial to the world.

So he was serious about the matter and even took the seal of the workshop owner.

After that, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan fled directly and disappeared.

Emperor Hongzhi was energetic and confident.

He sat in a spacious public room with a luxurious and comfortable sofa inside.

Not only that, there are several servants next to this public house serving each other, all of which are luxurious.

Emperor Hongzhi even saw a menu.

This is all served by Zhu Houzhao, and the various dishes inside are shocking.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Look, look at my son. He is so luxurious at such a young age. The things he uses are very valuable. These are all calculated in revenue. All the money has been squandered by him. The first thing I did is to cut down all these useless things and eat simple food. The so-called business method is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditures. This reduction... It starts with me. In this way, you can save more than 100 taels of silver every day. Don't underestimate only 1,500 taels of silver in this half month."

When Liu Jian and others heard this, they were all excited.

Liu Jian bowed and kowtowed in convincingly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty takes this move first and takes the lead in saving money. Although he only saved 1,500 taels, but with this workshop, the cost savings are only amazing, but with this, the revenue and profit income are even more gratifying."

Chen Tong was also inexplicably moved.

He knew in his heart that this time Li Dongyang praised himself, and it was a God-given opportunity to have the opportunity to show his presence in front of His Majesty.

I have managed the horse farm at the border, worked as two local parents, and worked in the Ministry of Revenue for so many years. These valuable experiences can be fully displayed in front of His Holiness today.

So he said, "The first thing Your Majesty did hit the nail on the head. So why worry about the workshop not going to work?"
