Chapter 700 Making money
It’s true that money will only be spent when it is used.
If I had known that I could time travel, I should have memorized more ways to make money. But it’s a pity. Time travel is an accident. Who would remember a lot of ways to make money because of the one-in-one time travel?
Wu Nian searched in his mind for a long time, but could not think of a way to make money. He couldn't help but lower his head, looked at Liu Zhixing, and asked: "Zhixing, besides the salt and iron franchise, do you have any other ways?"
"Yes." Liu Zhixing was already prepared. He nodded first, and then said calmly: "The first is to increase revenue, and the second is to reduce expenditure."
"Nanhai Prefecture, Guangchuan Prefecture, Yingqing Prefecture. When Liaodong was the general, many big households hid their fields to avoid paying taxes. Although the invasion of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the war of seven or eight years, many big households were wiped out. But
There’s still the matter of hidden fields.”
"Specialized officials can be dispatched to re-measure the land and increase the number of acres that can be taxed. This is an open source."
"Cut officials' salaries and unnecessary expenses. This is cost-saving."
"But with all due respect, I'm afraid these are not enough. My suggestion is to put the matter down for discussion and brainstorm to see if we can come up with ways to fill this hole."
Wu Young Man shook his head lightly. They were all methods with slow results and not very high returns.
"It's possible to re-measure the land. Let's just reduce the officials' salaries. I can't pay the soldiers food and pay while cutting the officials' salaries. This would favor one over the other."
"But let's delegate this matter to the lower level for discussion. This is good. Three cobblers can stand up to Zhuge Liang. Maybe there will be some good solution."
Wu Nian pondered for a while and agreed with most of Liu Zhixing's suggestions.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing nodded and agreed.
That was it. After a while, Wu Nian asked Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Wang Youxiao to leave.
Wu Nian sat alone in the main room for a long time before he got up and went out. Along the corridor, he arrived at the door between the backyard and the outer courtyard.
Heavy pressure and thinking too much are all heavy.
Let's do some fun things.
In terms of time, it was not a very long time to lead the troops on an expedition this time. Wang Zhongbi was able to handle it easily. But when he was away from home, he inevitably missed his family.
Wu Nian stood outside the door, looking at the crowd in front, with a smile on his face.
Liu Xiang, Chen Shi, Wang Ruyan, Xiao Hong, etc. each brought their children, and Wu Shi, Li Ya, and Zhang Zhen were also there.
"elder brother."
"younger brother."
"Master."
"father."
Everyone looked at Wu Nian with joy, calling him a mess.
"Dad." Five-year-old Wu Min jumped towards Wu Nian with his short legs.
"Good son." A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face. He bent down and picked up Wu Min. He weighed her and found that he was really heavy.
This eldest son was born to Mrs. Chen, but he did not inherit Mrs. Chen's weakness. He was strong and tough since he was a child.
Immediately, Wu Nian put Wu Min down, stepped forward to tease his other children, and then entered the backyard with everyone.
Li Ya and Zhang Zhen left, and the children were taken away by the wet nurse. Wu Nian, Chen, Liu Xiang and others came to the main room and sat down.
"Sister Xiang'er, how are you doing at home during this time?" Wu Nian raised his head and asked Liu Xiang with a smile. Wu said.
"Brother, don't worry, things are going well at home. Everyone is safe," Liu Xiang said with a smile.
"Yes. Everything is fine. The only problem is that Min'er is getting older, and at an age that everyone dislikes, he is very naughty. I'm worried that he might fall, get bumped, or get into some trouble."
Wu smiled and nodded, but when talking about Wu Min, she looked like she had a headache.
Wu Nian frowned. His eldest son was already five years old. It was normal for children to be lively and like monkeys. But they had to be disciplined.
Despite Wu's words about being "disliked by everyone", she actually dotes on her nephew.
As the saying goes, a loving mother often loses her children. Wu Min's tendency to get into trouble may also be related to the doting of the Wu family and others.
Husband and wife have a good rapport.
Just when Wu Nian was thinking about this problem, Chen took the initiative and said to Wu Nian: "Sir, speaking of Min'er, it's not a big deal if you leave her at home."
"Our family is a general. Please find a teacher to teach him how to read and write, and practice martial arts."
"Otherwise, let him follow Zhen'er."
When Wu heard this, she was immediately unhappy and said, "Sister, Min'er is still so young. How hard it is to practice martial arts and study. Let's wait until he grows up."
Wu Nian, Mrs. Chen glanced at this aunt and said, you are the one who said Wu Min is a monkey, and you are the one who refuses to control her.
It is only natural that this aunt dotes on her nephew. Mrs. Wu is an ignorant woman, and there is nothing she can do if she is confused.
Wu Nian cannot be confused.
"It's time to find a teacher for Min'er. Find a scholar and a boxing master alone. We can't let him be with Zhen'er."
After Wu Nian thought for a moment, he raised his head and said.
Zhang Zhen is an obedient and honest child, and he is also very kind to his younger brother. Wu feels sorry for Wu Min.
If Wu Min were to follow Zhang Zhen, I'm afraid the elder brother would have to protect his younger brother.
This is not a good thing.
Mrs. Wu was still not happy, but Wu Nian was the head of the family, so she had nothing to do. Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face.
I still understand.
Whether you are raising a son or a daughter, you must set rules.
Don't act like a wild monkey.
In short, everything was fine at home, but Wu Min was too naughty. Wu Nian talked to Wu and his concubines for a long time, and then asked Liu Xiang to prepare bath water, take a bath and rest.
When he opened his eyes the next day, Wu Nian's energy and energy had recovered a lot. After eating a hearty breakfast, Wu Nian sent people to see Liu Zhixing and asked him to help find a scholar to be his son's teacher.
Then he went out for a walk to eat.
After all, he couldn't let go of making money. After Wu Nian walked for a while, he raised his head and said to a soldier who was following him: "Go and ask, is Miss Kyogoku still in Jiang County?"
"If she is here, invite her over."
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.
Wu Nian turned around and sat down on a bench under the corridor, waiting for news. After a long time, the soldiers returned and said that they had invited Kyogoku Yukiri.
Wu Nian nodded, stood up and walked out of the backyard to a living room in the front yard.
Kyogoku Yuki is sitting on the right. She is still the same, wearing a kimono with beautiful colors, elegant and beautiful.
"General."
Kyogoku Yuki saw Wu Nian coming in, stood up slowly and bowed.
"You're very polite, Miss. Sit down." Wu Nian raised his hand in a friendly manner and asked Kyogoku Yuki to sit down. Then he came to the main seat and sat down. He said straight to the point: "Miss Kyogoku."
