How much can you do with eight million taels?
With these eight million taels, the Wu Dynasty will not need to consider investment in the southern line in the next year, nor will it need to demolish the east to make up for the west.
Food-for-work can be maintained. The remaining balance on the books of local governments and counties can be invested in areas related to people's livelihood and stimulating people's strength, and cooperate with work-for-relief to further expand the market.
Ordinary people don't need to worry about the Wu Dynasty raising taxes because of this. They can live their lives the same way in the future, and they can even live better than before.
After all, the work-for-relief program pays workers. If you work for one period, you can save one person's rations, and you can bring back a few pieces of silver after the work is completed.
When the project is completed, the roads are opened, the canals are full, and the future harvests will be visible!
These days are not going to get any better day by day.
War wastes money and people, but the Wu Dynasty is developing while fighting. Who wants to see this scene?
"In this case, doesn't it mean that the equation will be dangerous?"
Hearing this, even though Lao Pu knew that the empress's mind had gone wrong, he did not remind him. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's the equation that does the work, but the person pushing it is Yang Yingzhi. In front of Yang Yingzhi are the four major ticket numbers, and the four major ticket numbers... …”
The four major ticket companies, the dominant players in the Wu Dynasty, did not underestimate the capabilities of the Imperial City Division. In fact, there was a huge gap in strength between the two.
It is by no means an easy task to get the answer from the mouths of the powerful clansmen.
Military people have suffered losses related to this. Once or twice, it can only be said that the enemy is cunning. But if you do it again, I'm sorry, you will be laughed at for the rest of your life.
A warrior can do anything and dare to do anything, but he will not do anything that will embarrass or discredit the family even if he is beaten to death.
"Old guy, you've had quite a lot of fun, but don't be afraid of any eventuality, just be afraid of ten thousand. Please increase the manpower around Fang Fang. It's already been a year ago!"
A year ago, the only people who knew about the existence of Equation were some old people. These people didn't talk much, and the Empress didn't want people to talk too much.
But over the past year, the achievements Fang Fang has made and the methods he has shown are enough to perform on stage.
Hiding it is not only meaningless, but will also affect the growth of the equation.
Even if the relationship between siblings is exposed, there won't be any bad effects.
Times have changed, and so has the environment!
"Then add another general banner to Yang Yingzhi, totaling 200 people..." Lao Pu suggested in a low voice.
At present, there are already 150 people in the team around Fang Fang, including the 50-man Jinwu Guards General Banner, and the 100-man Commandant of the Office of Documents led by Yang Yingzhi. However, in terms of numbers, they are far beyond the standards for Fang Fang's level.
But who told Fang Fang to be the empress's cherished treasure, a talent who had been brought under the influence of three court bosses?
Then there’s no big problem!
…
"How long can the hands of people from the Imperial City Division really be?"
In the newly cleaned pit, the fire has been extinguished, but the remaining warmth is still completing the roasting.
"Except for not doing assassinations, the intelligence analysis ability is slightly insufficient. The Imperial City Division is definitely the strongest opponent of our Case Documents Division!" Yang Yingzhi will not elevate himself by belittling his opponents.
No matter how weak the Imperial City Division was, it could not withstand the financial support of the Song Dynasty royal family and aristocratic families. The tentacles it extended outwards continued to penetrate into foreign countries with the major trading companies.
"I understand that I don't want to do assassination. After all, if you strike today, I will strike tomorrow. No one should play any more. But this is within the country. I'm not looking down on the Song people. It's really..."
In the Wu Dynasty, the internal garrison was always responsible for the transportation of money, food, ordnance and materials. The manpower ranged from dozens of people to as many as one hundred households dispatched directly.
The combat power of the internal garrison may be weaker than that of the border garrison, but the soldiers and horses within the garrison are also selected step by step through normal channels.
And this is still within the territory!
Without more than three times the manpower and equivalent weapons, the Imperial City Division could only rely on its brain to think about what to intercept and what interception to rely on?
Not to mention the route, if it could be touched by the Imperial City Department, the Documents Department would also have to dismantle it.
"Who knows?"
Yang Yingzhi shrugged, he couldn't figure it out, "But since we've been reminded, we'd better make some preparations!"
It's impossible during transportation. It might be to rob the banker directly, but the probability of success is even smaller.
Not to mention that the banks are located within the county town, many are simply opened near the county government office. People come and go during the day, and you can't transport it out even if you rob it at night.
Besides, silver also has weight...
Pack them separately. Each person can pack as much as they want. Packing less is meaningless. Packing too much can’t be taken away.
"Logically speaking, if I were from the Song Dynasty, I wouldn't have watched eight million taels enter the Household Department. If this happened, many things I had done before would be meaningless..." Fang Fang held the baking sheet.
"This is the truth. Perhaps it is because of this that the palace will remind us, but how to prevent it is not a problem. There are thousands of days in this world to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to guard against thieves. And if the imperial city Si really has an idea about this, people may not move at all now, but are waiting for us to take action!"
If you don't make a move, there will be no flaws.
Only by taking action will you have a chance!
"In other words, the fire in Changzi County was probably to lure the snake out of its hole?" Li Yanting expressed his opinion.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The banks are not easy to move, and there is no one in the transportation process to make a move. But if you think too much and react violently, the opportunity may arise, but this..."
Yang Yingzhi frowned, he didn't know how to solve it if he didn't take any action!
"From the bottom of my heart, being robbed is a good thing!" Fang Fang said with a smile, "Nowadays, the issuance of national bonds is most indispensable for word-of-mouth, and the most lacking thing is word-of-mouth. The current credibility of the issuance is supported by the reputation of Wu Dynasty in the past, not the national debt itself. Is this the same reputation that Shang Zhong had before?"
Hearing this, Shang Zhong, who had been standing by the fire pit brushing the dipping sauce, asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with me?"
"It's just a metaphor..."
"Sir, I roughly understand what you mean. Shang Zhong is the direct son of Bowang Hou. In the past, he represented the attitude of Bowang Hou in some fields. Now Shang Zhong can also represent it, but there is a difference. The former looks at The face of Bowanghou Mansion, the latter won’t give face to him if he tells the truth, Shang Zhong can’t do anything about it, Shang Zhong has never changed, he only has the support of Bowanghou Mansion!”
"Yes, the reputation of the national debt and the reputation of the court are now too closely tied. In the long run, this is not a good thing. After all, no one can guarantee that there will be no big rats in banks everywhere... The tighter the ties, the smaller things will become big things. The final impact of adding up is the overall reputation of the court!"
Fang Fang paused, then showed a playful smile, "So, the sooner we can break it off, the sooner we can establish the credibility of the national debt itself, the better!"
"But how to establish this problem? We can't let the Imperial City Bureau take action and grab it ourselves, right?" Li Yanting joked.
Fang Fang looked at Li Yanting with a smile on his face, "Why not?"
