Chapter 129 The Qing Dynasty’s National Debt (YY)

9days ago traverse Novels 7
Xiaobao, Goryeo is my Qing Dynasty vassal state, and Japan is an overseas island country. There is no unfavorable action against me. What you said just now is really nonsense. Now that Wu Sangui colludes with the Rakshasa Kingdom to rebel, the Zheng family in Taiwan is also ready to move. This is the top priority. Where can I pay attention to Goryeo and Japan?

Gao Gui knew that what he said just now was indeed not considered. In fact, any Chinese who grew up in the 20th century had a little conscience, shame, and patriotism, who had more or less hatred for Japan. This is normal. Although countries were taking a peaceful way of living together, the people were completely different. There were actually a lot of feces that hated Japan. Although many people lived in a daze, there were even many people who were dissatisfied with the status quo and complained about the country, but once they talked about the heinous crimes committed by the island country against China in the mid-20th century, who would hate them?

This history cannot be forgotten by the Chinese. At least before the arrival of the 22nd century, Chinese people with conscience will not and dare not forget it!

However, in this era in the early Qing Dynasty, this period of history was far from happening. How could Gao Gui's generous speech resonate with Kangxi?

When Gao Gui calmed down, he couldn't help but feel very funny

Xiaobao, you have always been very clever, why did you give me a fool today?

Seeing that Gao Gui's attitude of admitting his mistake was pretty good, Kangxi's face calmed down a little

Gao Gui hurriedly showed a bright smile like a chrysanthemum and said: Yes, yes, I am indeed confused. As the emperor said, Wu Sangui is the first cancer slave to be eliminated. He was too confused in Yunnan. The slave heard that there was a great philosopher who said... There is a saying... Oh, I say a slave who is eloquent, no matter how he spreads his faults in front of the master of the wise, he cannot cover up the truth.

Kangxi smiled and said: What kind of great philosopher's words are these? Why do they seem so crude?

Gao Gui smiled and said: Not talented, it's just what I'm talking about.

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, kicked Gao Gui's butt, and laughed and scolded: You kid, you actually dare to call yourself a philosopher! If you are a philosopher, I am Qin Huang Han Wu, Yao Shun Yu Tang

Your Majesty, you are wrong. This slave can criticize you. You can say the wrong thing. Your Majesty said is the imperial edict, the will of God, and you must not say it randomly!

In the world, only this gangster dares to talk to Emperor Kangxi like this. If someone else is replaced, Kangxi will directly knock his head off!

Oh? What did I say wrong?

Gao Gui said seriously: Of course, it is wrong. The emperor compared Qin Emperor and Han Wu. That is a big mistake. Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, determined the text, determined the measurement, determined the law, and opened the border. This is a brilliant side. He also has another side. First, he has excessive taxes, abusing the people's power, and building the tomb of Mount Li and Afang Palace for himself. Second, since Shang Yang's reform, the law has been severe. The family has violated the law, the neighbors have been convicted, and the criminal law has been cruel, which has led to the public's resentment. Third, imprisoning the people's thoughts. Although the money is greater than the faults, the slaves feel that relatively speaking, although the emperor does not have the martial arts skills like him, the emperor carries out benevolent government, sympathizes with the people, and the government orders are prosperous. Qin Shihuang is far inferior to you.

Kangxi grinned and laughed, very happy

Gao Gui couldn't help but think: People are always with the king as if they are with the tiger. In fact, the emperor is also a mortal. He is arrogant and always has to pretend to be majestic. This is very painful and depressing. As long as you find his fatal hole and flatter him to death, hey, the emperor is actually easy to coax, at least ten times easier than women to coax.

Gao Gui thought of Princess Changping and couldn't help but look gloomy

You kid, you haven't seen you for several months. You have made great progress in flattery. You know so much historical knowledge. Where did you hear it?

Gao Gui was stunned and immediately remembered the real Wei Xiaobao. He was an illiterate Ah who could not read a big word. Even Yao, Shun and Yu Tang could be said to be a super blind flow of bird raw fish soup. He quoted the classics and talked about it with erudition, wouldn’t it be suspicious?

Haha, the emperor doesn't know anything. The slave has to serve the emperor every day. The emperor is knowledgeable and well-versed in the past. If the slave doesn't learn something to charge, what does the emperor ask about, then he just asks a piece of wood? So, the slave asks people for advice. During the time in Yunnan, the slave learned a little from a failed scholar. Hehe, although he has half a bucket of water, the emperor must not make fun of the slave, and attack the slave's sincere heart.

Kangxi laughed and praised: Very good, very good, Xiaobao, you are not only smart, but also loyal. The most rare thing is that you are studious. If everyone in the Qing Dynasty could be like you, the Qing Dynasty would definitely be more prosperous and powerful. You said Qin Shihuang was not as good as me, so what about Emperor Wu of Han? I think you made a lot of sense, so why not talk about it again

Exam into a scholar?

So many questions to ask!

Gao Gui muttered, cleared his throat and said: The first emperor of the Han Dynasty was Liu Bang. This was a man of a rampant background. This also destined to be difficult to stabilize in the early stage of the Han Dynasty. Later, the two emperors of Emperor Wen of Han Wu of Han were truly settled. Emperor Wu of Han conquered the Huns and his achievements were spread throughout the world. But on the other hand, he fought for years, built a large number of constructions, believed in ghosts and gods, abused cool history, exhausted Wen Jing's savings, and stirred up many uprisings, which also laid the root of disaster for the later Han Dynasty. Of course, he was a genius emperor, and the only thing he should not be, he actually believed in witchcraft. As long as he had a minor illness, he thought that someone used witchcraft to harm him, and he was suspicious...

Hearing this, Kangxi's brows became tighter and tighter. Gao Gui suddenly woke up and said that Emperor Wu of Han had fought for years, and Kangxi was fighting with Wu Sangui, wouldn't it be...

He hurriedly said: Emperor Wu of Han only knows how to fight wars, his military expenditure is huge, and he consumes the national treasury, so he can only collect the people. This is really unwise. Your civil and military skills are much more outstanding than him. He is a famous wise monarch from ancient times to the present...

Kangxi waved his hand and said: Xiaobao, you woke up the dreamer with one word.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes were bright, and he said: Even if I fight with Wu Sangui, I will never be able to collect taxes from the people! I have blinded my eyes from the lessons of the past! You go and tell Jiao Yurui, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue!

Gao Gui was stunned, chattered, hurriedly walked out of the study room, summoned the eunuch who was serving outside.

When he came back, Kangxi's face seemed to be turning dark, his eyebrows were smiling, and he patted Gao Gui's shoulder, and said with a smile: I issued an order yesterday to ask the Ministry of Revenue to collect military expenses, haha, fortunately, you, a boy, flattered me, reminded me that if I collected this money, even if I defeated Wu Sangui, it would have laid the root of disaster. The Qing Dynasty had just founded the country, so we cannot add taxes at will. Although this money is less, the battle will be more difficult, but we cannot impose this burden on the people!

Gao Gui was extremely respectful when he heard this. Looking at Kangxi, he felt that there seemed to be a large circle of white and glittering halo around his head.

The emperor, I have an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it

Kangxi smiled and said: Damn, I'm really not used to you being so polite. If you have something to say, you can just let go if you have farts.

Gao Gui was in full bloom, laughed and said:If the military expenditure is not enough, I will issue national debts and borrow money from the people. When the country has money and pay it back a little interest, the people will be profitable. When it comes to repaying the money to the people, the people will naturally trust you even more when they see that the court has good reputation. As long as the people trust and support the emperor, they will seem to be on the same boat as the emperor and the Qing Dynasty. If the court issues national debts again next time, think about it, the people will definitely rush to use their savings to support them.You, isn’t this a killing of two birds with one stone? The military expenditure of the court is not enough, but the people of the world are also in harmony with the emperor. There is another trick, which is to make some medals. If you donate a certain amount of wealthy businessmen free of charge, you can get medals issued by the emperor himself. In this way, rich people are willing to lend money to the emperor. Who wouldn’t want to see the dragon face? What is the price of the so-called medal? These vanity is nothing but fake, but will the military expenditure come?

Kangxi nodded as if he was pecking rice while listening. After Gao Gui finished speaking, Kangxi fell into deep thought and pondered for a long time. After a long time of not speaking, Brother Gui couldn't help but be worried. This was a trick he learned from later generations, which was absolutely feasible. However, whether it was to get medals or national debts, it would be a bit embarrassing to the royal family. After all, Kangxi was an ancient man, so how could he agree?

When a little heart was pounding, Kangxi suddenly slapped his thighs and screamed. His eyes were filled with joy. He rushed up with trembling strength, shook Gao Gui's shoulder hard, and shouted: Xiaobao! Boy! How did you come up with such a good idea? Tell me quickly! Is someone teaching you?

Gao Gui was stunned. The breakfast in his stomach was about to fall out of his butt when he was shaken. Seeing his ecstatic appearance, he felt relieved.

Haha, Master, don’t be excited, the dragon body is important, this is a trick that the slave thought of himself, can it still be used?

Brother Gui shamelessly took this credit for himself

Fuck! It's really what you thought of! Boy, I have so many knowledgeable ministers and so many wise scholars can't think of such a good way! You can actually have this kind of talent! Xiaobao, come to you early tomorrow morning, and you will also go to court. I will give you a big official in front of all the civil and military officials of the court, and also humiliate those idiot ministers who only know how to talk! Look, what is wisdom and genius, haha...

Kangxi was really happy and unconventional

At this moment, the two kings and ministers discussed the details about the national debt and medals. Gao Gui couldn't help but feel a little excited when he saw that he adopted his golden and jade words. According to the advanced experience of his knowledge in the future, he continued to improve this plan until it was almost dark and he still couldn't finish it. The left assistant minister Jiao Yurui was summoned urgently, but he waited outside the study room for a long time. But when he was dinner, he was so hungry that he was rumbled, but he didn't see the emperor coming out to summon him.

Until the hour of Xu (it was between 7:00 and 9:00 in the ancient pm)

After the discussion was decided, Kangxi stretched his waist and his stomach made a gusting protest. He laughed and said: I forgot to have dinner, Xiaobao, I will eat with me in the palace tonight

Suddenly my heart moved, my lips curled up, and I whispered: Boy, I'll call Tinglan and Ellina too. Whether you can hook this British noble beauty depends on your ability.

Gao Gui stared at him and said: Master, you underestimate Xiaobao too much. It is our strength to hook up foreign beauties. Your Majesty, Xiao Guizi is going to make a bet with you. Just as I have the imperial banquet today, I will get her!
