As the war began, more memorials on Qin Feng's desk immediately became more and more important, basically related to this war, and domestic political affairs were basically left to the chief minister to deal with. Qin Feng's current attention has completely turned to this battle with Qin Emperor.

Before the troops moved, food and grass came first. The first person to report to Qin Feng was Su Kairong of the Ministry of Revenue. Now the silver trays transferred from him every day were calculated at 100,000 taels. Of course, this Minister of Revenue, who is famous for his iron rooster, is now very generous, but he will never delay if he needs it.

"Your Majesty, this time, I'm going to take the food supply to the merchant to contract part of the chess. Judging from the current implementation, it's about 20% cheaper than the imperial court organized its own personnel to transport it. I'm going to hand over all the food and grass transportation tasks to them next, so that I can save a lot." Su Kairong held the account book and said with a smile.

"Leave it all to the merchants, what if something goes wrong?" Qin Feng was a little worried: "Do they have money to make at this price?"

"Businessmen are naturally unable to get up early without profit. If they don't have money, how can they do it?" Su Shangrong smiled and said, "Their money is made in two aspects. First, they transported old grain from last year or the previous year. Now the autumn grain is about to be harvested into the warehouse. If these grains are not out of the warehouse, they will immediately fall. Although the procurement of our Ministry of Revenue is much lower than the market price, such a large-scale purchase has solved the big problem for them. Not only has the old grain solved it but also has freed up the warehouse for them. Second, their transportation costs are lower than that of us. These big grain merchants themselves have mature transportation networks and sales networks. Third, their losses along the way are much lower than ours."

"Why is the loss low?" Qin Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, this, hehe, the food belongs to the court, this..." Su Kairong laughed dryly.

"Okay, you need to say nothing, I understand." Qin Feng's face turned black, it was just that he didn't feel sorry for his son to sell his master's land!

"Your Majesty," Su Kairong flattered, "Overall, the cost of food shipment is about 30% lower than our shipment. We get 10% from this 30% and the other 20% are their profits."

"What if you delayed the military plane?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Su Kairong, "Before these transporting grain merchants obtained this qualification, they signed military orders with our Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War. Once they missed the military plane, they would be forced to confiscate the house and behead him. Do you think they dare to slack off at all? I'm afraid they are a little more safe than our own transportation."

"That's right!" Qin Feng smiled. Anything that threatens the head on his neck will naturally be much more thoughtful than usual." The Ministry of Revenue estimates that how long will our war last and will not affect the normal operation of the country?"

"Your Majesty, we have money now!" Su Kairong said proudly: "Now the Ming Empire Bank is printing money day and night."

"Didn't Su Can say that he could not print paper money indiscriminately? He said that he had to live within his means. There was also a paper money that could not exceed the amount of the Ming Dynasty's national economy income? How could he be able to print it vigorously now?" Qin Feng asked strangely. "Are you not worried now?"

"Your Majesty, we are short of money now. You are in Hulao for the past few months and may not be clear about the situation in China. Now our efforts to purchase money have greatly increased. Prices have dropped sharply. For example, rice, which used to be about one stone of rice and one tael of silver, but now it has almost fallen by one third."

"Isn't this because new grain is going to be listed?"

"No, it has something to do with the listing of new grain, but more importantly, there is not enough money on the market. If the money is not enough, it will be valuable and prices will fall." Su Kairong said to Qin Feng like a tongue twister.

"Speaking people." Qin Feng glared. "Isn't it better for the people to buy more with less money?" "Your Majesty, this is very simple." Su Kairong shouted, "Although the people who grow grain are happy because of the price drop, are the people who grow grain happy? Are the bosses of those workshops happy? Their income is less!"

Qin Feng was stunned for a while and nodded: "That's true."

"There is more important. We have prices plummeted, and the goods exported to Chu have also fallen. The Chu people can buy more of our things with the same money, and we have a big loss. And the things we bought in Chu have not dropped, and we have to use more money to buy them back, which is a big loss! This entry and exit are very bad for the national economy, so Su Can prints money day and night and puts it into the market. Two days ago, the Chief Aunt also convened people from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Bank to meet together. It is going to start a large-scale construction project in Qingzhou and other places. The Ministry of Works has begun to plan this matter and will report to His Majesty in a while."

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment. He really didn't understand these things very much, but it didn't matter if he didn't understand them. It would be fine if the people below understood them. However, from this matter, one very obvious fact was that the Ming Dynasty has almost achieved its takeoff in its economy. Ma Yue, the Qin State, went bankrupt to fight a national destiny battle with the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty was still worried about how to spend more money. The economy of the two families was completely in heaven and earth.

War was originally a money-consuming job, but Qin Feng still remembered that in the past few years, Su Kairong was worried like something when he fought. Now his face was blushing and full of complacent look on his face.

My wife's trip to Chu State brought too many benefits to the Ming Dynasty. This year's great economic boom in the Ming Dynasty is inseparable from the great contribution of Chu State.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Su Kairong closed the account book in his hand and said.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to recruit Geng Jingming as an official in the Ministry of Revenue and serve as an deputy to me." Su Kairong said: "When I take him for another two years, he will be competent for the Minister of Revenue."

"Geng Jingming?" Qin Feng said in surprise: "When did you fall in love with him?"

"I've been eyeing him for a long time." Su Kairong smiled: "This time he came to me to get the right to carry food. Wouldn't this be delivered to him? I first installed a temporary director of the Ministry of Revenue Dispatch Department with him. After the war, if you give me the decree, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to leave."

"Don't this guy do the silk business? Later, he went to the Railway Bureau to help for a long time. He created the public-private joint-stock system, right? Why did he go to make grain again?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"This guy has a more erotic nose than a dog. Before we fight with Qin, he ran to me. He wanted to take over the grain transport rights of the entire army this time. At first, the minister was not at all relieved, but he made a military order. In the end, the grain under his command also signed a military order. The entire budget price given was 30% lower than what we had budgeted in advance. I gave them 40% of their work. In fact, he didn't invest a penny at all, but just took a general."

"Do you think he is competent as the Minister of Revenue?"

"Yes, absolutely!" Su Kairong nodded affirmatively: "He is worse than me. I am more important than me. I believe that he is second in terms of saving money. No one dares to be the first, but I am far inferior to him in terms of opening up. This person has a natural ability to make money. Your Majesty, now he says that Geng Jingming is the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty will never deny it. If such a person can be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty, will he still be short of money in the Ming Dynasty? It is definitely not possible. As long as he comes to the Ministry of Revenue, I will take him for two years to familiarize him with the operation of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty. This person can definitely assist His Majesty in doing a great cause. Didn't you say that fighting wars is more about fighting money and fighting the national economy, and then the combat capabilities of the army. We should develop the economy well and use money to crush them to death at that time."

After hearing this, Qin Feng laughed: "You are really good at saying this. The country is rich and the people are strong, and the army is strong. But from what you mean, Geng Jingming is very unhappy to be an official?"

"Your Majesty, this guy is the richest man in our Ming Dynasty now. How free to do it? In his own words, the effort to take a breath is to make hundreds of taels of silver. Our Ming Dynasty officials have many restrictions, so this guy certainly doesn't want to do it." Su Kairong hummed: "This guy didn't think about it. If it weren't for Your Majesty, he could have made a fortune so quickly. Look at the rich people of Chu and Qi, now they all want to make plans to quietly move the money to our Ming Dynasty? Changlong Bank is making a fortune now!" Su Kairong sighed. He was also a shareholder of Changlong back then. Unfortunately, in order to avoid suspicion, he had to withdraw from it. If he could still be a shareholder now, he would have been a super rich man.

"I'm not very satisfied with my restrictions on officials when I hear what you mean?" Qin Feng said with a slight smile.

Su Kairong was startled and stood up quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare, Your Majesty is for the sake of the whole country, and current officials are not allowed to do business. I sincerely support you. I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and is famous all over the world. Follow Your Majesty and be famous in history in the future. Isn't it much better than having a few dollars?"

"Hehehe!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "Why do I seem to hear that Changlong Bank is going to invite you over after you retire?"

Su Kairong said awkwardly for a while, "Your Majesty, after I retreated, I was so weak that I was not in charge. In the past, I just used my remaining energy. Now, Changlong Bank is also a supreme sword for our Ming Dynasty. I will stare at Your Majesty."

"The salary is also very considerable! No wonder you are in a hurry to find a successor." Qin Feng laughed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am over 60 people, and I am really not energetic. I'm going to prepare for the future!" Su Kairong said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I won't joke about you." Qin Feng stopped laughing." I will consider this matter. Humph, all over the world, are the kings ministers, the shores of the earth, and the kings, this Geng Jingming ran out of my palm."
