Chapter Sixteen: Not many, just 60,000

As soon as the morning session started, Xia Yan smiled at the three of them and said, "You three have been very busy these days, thank you for your hard work."

The first one to step forward was Yuan Liyang. At this moment, his face was full of spring breeze and looked radiant.

"Your Majesty, please let me make a report first. First of all, the warships and bows requested by Your Majesty are being made at a fast pace. The progress is gratifying, and we deliberately added some more money to them.

, it is expected to be completed in half a month.”

"Yeah, not bad, not bad."

It can be seen that Xia Yan is in a very comfortable mood, and such news is truly good news to him.

Seeing Xia Yan happy, the six uncles on the side also spoke one after another.

"You are worthy of being Yuan Shangshu for completing the tasks assigned by His Majesty so beautifully!"

"Not bad, not bad. I walked by Tai Lake two days ago and saw hundreds of people planing wood. The efficiency of such a large formation is really fast!"

"It seems that Yuan Shangshu's official position is stable!"

Under the praise of everyone, Yuan Liyang couldn't help but tap his mustache, picked up his Huazi and took a deep breath, looking very proud.

Xia Yan didn't care at all about this. There had never been such a thing as Chaotangzhi since the first day he came here. Even if they were picking their feet down there, he wouldn't interfere.

And soon, Xia Yan's joy was frightened by the next message and disappeared.

After Yuan Liyang finished speaking, Di Renjie silently stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the crime rate in Nanling City has reached an astonishing 0 in the past seven days. The people all love your Majesty's policies. Now everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and the market is prosperous."

"Well, that's a good thing."

Hearing this, Xia Yan was quite happy.

Although he wanted to subjugate his country, his original intention was just to go back.

Letting the people live a miserable life for his own sake is not what Xia Yan wants to see.

And at this juncture, it is not a big problem to slightly improve the lives of some people.

Anyway, 95% of the people who paid taxes to me did not rebel, so there is no need to expect it now.

Since we can't count on them, we might as well treat them better.

Even if there is a slight increase in public support, it is only a drop in the bucket and has no impact on the overall situation.

But soon, as the market prospered, Di Renjie did not stop talking, but continued.

"Now, under the management of the Ministry of Punishment, several commercial streets have been established in the city. The commercial streets are crowded with people, so our own industry is also doing well."

"My own industry?..."

Xia Yan was a little confused, but Di Renjie continued to remind him verbally.

"These are the various shops we confiscated from the squires. There are restaurants, Yixiangyuan, weapons shops, pharmacies, trading houses, etc. The business has been very stable these days. After excluding all kinds of costs, the daily profits are

More than 200 taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, the six old men gave thumbs up.

"Hey, two hundred taels a day, isn't that more than 70,000 a year? Your Majesty is indeed wise. When have we ever been so generous in the summer?"

"Not bad, not bad. The net income is more than 70,000 taels per year. This is all the credit of these three adults!"

"That's right, plus the dragon-slaying sword reappeared in the world a few days ago, the rise of the Great Xia Dynasty is just around the corner!!"

A group of old men were happy, but Xia Yan had a headache.

This Di Renjie was a minister of the Ministry of Justice, but now he went to the Ministry of Husbandry to help.

After saying that, Di Renjie on the side also smiled.

"Not bad, not bad. It's only sixty thousand taels, not much."
