This matter of the Cheng family is definitely not that simple. There should be no problem in borrowing money from Ao and the Cheng family. The most important thing is that the Cheng family must have the money, but the problem is how to borrow money.

Now, could it be said that the empire has no money? It needs to borrow hundreds of billions of silver from your Cheng family. The interest rate cannot be too high. Let’s see if your Cheng family has this ability. In fact, they are not interested in borrowing money from the government.

They are not very willing to do it. The income is too low. If they are private individuals, the annual interest rate can be at least 60%. But if they are an empire, even if they are given some discounts, the annual interest rate will be at least 60%.

The interest rate is only less than 20%. In the past, we would often do this business with people from the court, but now absolutely no one does that. They are not fools. Since they can

If you can earn more profits elsewhere, why bother struggling with this? No one would be that stupid. His Majesty the Emperor didn't say anything when he thought of the Cheng family. Speaking of which, the Cheng family has only grown up in the past few years.

I haven't been in the imperial court very much, but in the past it could be said that it belonged to a very large family. When the empire was established, a lot of manpower and material resources were used by the Cheng family. Up to now, the Cheng family still has the founding emperor of the empire.

As for the Iron Scroll of Alchemy Book given to me, no matter what it is, as long as it is not rebellion or anything like that, the Cheng family can avoid death three times. For everyone, this kind of thing means that the Linghu family has this kind of thing.

In fact, this is a normal thing. If the original emperor had given other people too many of these things, his descendants would not be able to manage these people below. [If it is not done well, it will be casual.

There are several people out there who have this thing, who will be afraid of themselves? As long as this thing comes into your hands, you will basically do a very good job. When they are emperors, they use benevolence and filial piety to govern the world, absolutely

He will not do anything to disobey his ancestors. If his ancestors don't do very well, then there is really nothing to say about this matter. It is estimated that some great scholars in the entire empire will start by then.

This is what happened. What I got for myself in the end is called nondescript. Although the Cheng family has this thing, the empire is in trouble now. If they don't find an opening from the Cheng family, it is estimated that the other two families will

They are not that easy to find. His Majesty the Emperor thought of the business of the Cheng family. The Cheng family has always been a salt merchant. The salt merchants here are the same as those in the feudal era on earth. They have a monopoly and this profit

This is no joke. It is said that the money of the Cheng family can be described as a mountain. If this is the case, we should not be so stingy. Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor said, "I remember that I had discussed it with the major companies some time ago.

The business family has talked about this loan, and they have also donated money. I wonder how much the salt merchant Cheng family donated? Do you have the foundation?" These people would break apart every word of His Majesty the Emperor and crush it into pieces with all their strength.

I have been thinking about it for a while. When His Majesty the Emperor talks about this matter at this time, he does not mean to praise the Cheng family. Although many people here receive hundreds of thousands of silver in annual salary from the Cheng family, but having said that, I have this

Only people from the Cheng family have the right to give themselves money. If they don't have this right, they will probably feel that it is redundant to even look at themselves. Therefore, this matter must be done in order to make the empire stable. Although

I have taken a lot of money from the Cheng family, but the safety of the empire must be the top priority at this time. I don’t need to talk about other things at this time, but this matter must be done now, and they must all understand it.

This matter must be made clear. The Cheng family must come up with the money at this time. Otherwise, if the empire cannot solve the current difficulty, there may be even greater trouble in the future.

Naturally, ordinary small troubles will not come to their heads, but if it is a big trouble that affects the entire empire, it is not a small matter, and it will have a lot to do with them. These people will look at it as soon as they roll their eyes.

I thought about what I should say. What His Majesty the Emperor needs at this time is a flaw in the Cheng family. If I don't go out quickly to find this flaw, then there is something wrong with my brain. I will never do it.

To allow something like this to happen, you must handle it properly.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, according to your order, because our empire has entered a stage of financial austerity, we have discussed it with people from the major families in the empire, and they have also performed very well. After all,

They are also very conscious people, and they all know that if something goes wrong with the empire, their lives will never get better, so these people are very cooperative. In addition to the taxes they should pay, these people

They also paid a lot of money. The Cheng family has always been one of the few big business families in our empire. This order can be said to have been sent early in the morning, but the people of the Cheng family did not pay much attention to it.

What happened was that they took out the money half a month after they received the news. At that time, the entire Cheng family paid out 50 million taels of silver, which sounded like a lot. The alchemist and the Cheng family paid 50 million taels of silver every year

Compared with the income of more than 40 billion silver, there is still a big shortcoming. 3 The income of the Cheng family I am talking about here is of course not the total income of the Cheng family. Most of it is recorded by us, but according to the information we have received

, the Cheng family's annual income may reach trillions of dollars, which means that a large part of it is news that the court does not know, and it is not known what methods the Cheng family uses to avoid it.

, The Imperial Taxation Department has really neglected its duties. If they were willing to check this matter carefully, I believe there would not be so many things." This guy, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, quickly brought the war to the taxation department.

This matter is also very good for them. The people from the tax department have not come out to speak for a long time. Speaking of their fate, it is not very good. If they can't get the money, His Majesty the Emperor will

It will cost you your own life. What is the price of the Alchemist's money? It may make some common people rebel. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor will think that it is people like him who have driven the common people crazy.

Such things can be said, and I don’t know what they are thinking in their heads. If you can change the roles, then let the emperor come and try this thing and see how you do it.

Yes, you can not only get the money back, but also do some things well. If you can do it, we really want to learn from it. If you don't have that ability, I hope you won't do it because of it.

This matter is really embarrassing for us. In fact, we don’t have such ability. This matter is so embarrassing. At this time, the director of the tax department wants to kick the Minister of Household Affairs to death. How come this matter has come to our attention?

The brain is coming up. There is no one in the world who doesn't evade taxes. People from these big families are even better at doing this. Their brains are very powerful. Even if our tax officer goes there, it will be of no use.

Their account books are very well written. Of course, this is not the main thing. If you check carefully, you may still find some useful things. The main thing is because your pockets are full of other people’s money.

, at this time you will stand up and talk about other people's problems. If you all say that, things will not be so easy in the future. This will simply block the place where everyone makes money. Not only do you want to

If the place where you want to hang out is not open to you, even your own family will not be willing to do this. A good place to make money is gone. It would be strange if the people in your family could be happy.

His Majesty the Emperor’s eyes immediately turned to the tax department. It turns out that my small amount of money has something to do with you. The emperor did not give the head of the tax department a chance to speak, so he directly asked the imperial guards to pull him out, and immediately ordered people to speculate on the property.

He also said that in the future, if anyone is paid to open the back door for others, he will be taken to the prison immediately. This is the result. Now these people are dumbfounded. What is going on with His Majesty the Emperor?

The Taxation Department can be regarded as a wealthy yamen, and the person in charge is not accessible to ordinary people. This guy used to have a good relationship with His Majesty the Emperor. Although it has not reached the stage where he can confide in his heart, he can still be regarded as a monarch and his ministers.

Not bad, but now he was imprisoned directly in the sky prison, and soon some people started to make pranks. They finally understood what was going on with the emperor. The emperor was short of money, and they all understood it. Here

It's nonsense to talk about some ways to make money. No matter how you make money, it won't be too fast. There is only one way that is the fastest. Just like just now, just give the boss of a well-oiled department to someone casually.

If you arrest him, then the money in this guy's family will be in the treasury immediately. Just like the guy who was pulled out just now, it is impossible that his family doesn't have tens of billions of money. Just that guy

Some of his treasures are estimated to be worth billions of silver. They know a lot about this guy. This guy has a huge seat made of pure jade. The value of that thing is definitely worth more than billions of silver.

, now there is nothing left. It is really a pity that such a thing is in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. In the past, there would be people down here who would have some evil ideas. This kind of thing will give those speculators a little thought.

The Royal Forest Army, this thing can become their own, but at this time, if you give them some courage, they dare not do it. They will also do things based on what they see. Just like now, the teacher's actions do not involve them.

Even if you are doing well, if this matter really comes to your head, you will have unlucky times, so you should not take the initiative to look for trouble. Besides, who knows what this matter will develop into in the end.

, if His Majesty the Emperor thought of that guy again that day, he might just get that guy out. If that guy came out and found out that his treasure had arrived at my place, wouldn't he have innocently brought an enemy to himself?

, this is not for an ordinary person, this person is also very powerful. That was the time when I regretted it. In fact, His Majesty the Emperor really didn’t think about making money by relying on speculators at this time. Even the emperor knew it.

Yes, these officials are nothing more than two types of people. One type is the one who wants money. This type of official is the best. As long as he has one wife, it will be good. The other one is the kind of honest and upright official.

.Don’t such officials like money? That is impossible. Such people also like money very much, but what they care more about is not the money, but their own reputation. These people are not very good either.

It would be a very sad thing if these people did those things, so those who are greedy for money are better. His Majesty the Emperor is angry at this time because these officials are not serious about collecting taxes for themselves.

, you must know that taxation is the wealth of the entire country. Now the entire country belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. If this is the case, then this matter should be considered in this way. This matter must be done well by His Majesty the Emperor. If you don't

If you have that ability, get out of here. Don't waste your time here. I don't know if I'm short of money. This can be regarded as a warning to other people.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire is definitely not a light-hearted person. This guy will have his own considerations when doing anything. At the beginning, this guy never thought about getting rich by speculating. But the next day

When the people from the Royal Forest Army came to give him a reward, the guy's family yesterday actually had more than 15 billion in assets. This did not include those very expensive things. If those things were also included, this family's assets would be more than 15 billion.

His assets are more than 30 billion in silver. Damn, a tenth of the gap is so good. How could such a thing happen? If this is the case, then do the same to this guy’s subordinates.

That's it once. Immediately, the entire tax system was unlucky. Regardless of whether they had problems or not, they were all called to talk to the Imperial Supervision Department. The meaning of these people was also very obvious. There was no problem.

Thinking about what it will do to your official position, His Majesty the Alchemist Emperor is short of money at this time. If you can contribute a lot of money, then this matter can be done very well. Your official position is very good.

Maybe there won't be so many things. These people have seen their leader's miserable life, and they definitely don't want to have such a day. Since the people above have said so, then this is definitely the case.

Things will end like this. If this is the case, it is nothing more than losing money and avoiding disasters. These people all found an inconspicuous child in their family, told them what happened here, and then quickly transferred some of their real estate

They got rid of it and directly got the family's money. Although they have become penniless, it doesn't matter. Their seats are still there. As long as they do well in the future,

There is absolutely no problem with this matter. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a great help to the empire. Although His Majesty the Emperor did not agree with this matter at the beginning, he could only give in later. This is causing trouble.

Only by doing this can we get all the empire's money quickly. However, this kind of thing is probably just for emergency relief. It is absolutely not allowed to do that in the future. If you do it in the future,

If you do, these people will definitely not forgive themselves. It would be better if you don't become a loner in the end. You must know that these people also have their own ideas in their hearts. It is the truth that people who travel thousands of miles to serve as officials are only for wealth.

I still understand that all the money earned by others cannot become yours. If this is the case, it is better not to do it. These things must be done properly and cannot be done randomly.

When people from Cao's Trading Company brought the news back, Li Li was inspecting the coastal defense guns at his naval base. He was dumbfounded after hearing the news. How could such a thing happen? Although

Many people laughed at such things, but Li Wei did not laugh. When Hong Lie asked Li Wei the reason, Li Wei also said, "This thing is actually not a bad thing. For the Eastern Empire,

At least we can let them know that their potential is still very huge. The emperor of the Eastern Empire is not willing to quarrel with us at this time. If one day they really want to gather the power of the entire empire to fight against us, then I'm afraid we will

Not so happy anymore. These people will eventually become our nightmare. This is definitely not a joke. Let’s just let the people below speed up. As long as our naval base is completed, no matter what happens to these people in the end.

The commotion can only be on their continent. As long as we control the ocean at that time, we can just drive in along the inland rivers. Unless they have great ability to directly block all the inland rivers. But I

I guess they don't have that much ability." Li Li said, and the other people were not very young at this time, because what Li Li said was very reasonable. If it were in a poor country, it would not be possible at all.

There is no way such a thing can happen. Even if their emperor wants to get all the money from the entire empire, their empire is so poor that they can't even eat, so what's the point? In the end, it's nothing.

No, they all quickly devoted themselves to their work. Sometimes when they laugh at others, they are also laughing at us. This is a certain thing.

"The coastal defense guns installed this time are all very good. From this position, there is basically no problem in the front. As long as there are enemy ships coming, I guess they will never come back.

.It’s just that transportation is a problem in this era. One shell of this 203mm coastal defense gun weighs about one hundred kilograms. People here can carry it, but there are not many shells on this fort.

place, if it is transported up from below. I tried it with some soldiers just now. The fastest one takes three minutes, and they don’t have much strength when they run up. Don’t expect them to be able to get up quickly.

Ah, the fighting continues in this place. It can only store less than 1,000 artillery shells. There are 16 artillery pieces here. If there is a fight, these artillery shells will not be very good. A small war will not be a problem.

Yes, but if the intensity is very high, these shells will not be enough." Hong Lie took the folder in his hand and said, some things here have been checked, and the problem he was talking about is not just here.

Yes, other places also have this problem. There is nothing the alchemist can do about it. The main reason is that the transportation capacity of this place is too weak, and there are no large machinery or anything like that. Everything is just

Energy relies on human power. Although many people on this continent are much stronger than people on Earth, if they all rely on their bodies, there will still be many problems. This will take a certain amount of time.

I came here to modify it. Li Li had already seen the live ammunition firing of the artillery just now. It can be said to be very good. This naval base occupies an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers, and the surrounding waters within hundreds of miles can be monitored.

Congratulations, warships from three squadrons have now moved in. During the war, they can quickly rush to the surrounding areas that need them to move in, and the coastal defense artillery can also operate without any warships.

The entire base is defended, and there will definitely be no loss of the rear. Such a thing is also a very good thing for them. Of course, these people also waste a lot of brains running away.

Otherwise, such a situation would not have happened. Li Cong had his own ideas about what Hong Lie said. He pointed to the cliff, took Hong Lie there and said, "Actually, we used to

We have forgotten some simple machines on the earth. After entering the interstellar age, everything we do is done around computers. It seems that without them, we would not be able to complete this problem. Our ancestors could do it at that time.

There are also many good inventions, just like the one in front of me, which is very good. We can do things this way, just let the people below trim a pulley here, just like those before

Just like people fetching water, they just use ropes to transport the cannonballs up from below, so they can do very well with the help of this thing." Li Li said with a smile, Hong Lie also suddenly realized at this time, just like Li Li
To be continued...
