After Ji Ping'an put forward his idea, the Ninth Prince's face was obviously gloomy.
He clearly didn't care for the suggestion.
Ji Ping'an saw the confusion on the Ninth Prince's face, and he could actually guess the Ninth Prince's inner plan.
The Ninth Prince definitely doesn't want to make the court lose face now, he needs to continue to do this.
There was a look of helplessness on his face, and he said slowly at the same time.
"The face of the court is important, but now our crisis in Yun State must be resolved as soon as possible. Borrowing money from those squires does not require the court to come forward, only some local county magistrates are needed."
"Almost all county magistrates have some shady dealings with local crosstalkers, and there are some things they do not reveal."
The Ninth Prince fell into deep thought. No matter what, at least judging from the current situation, they had to do this.
Failure to do so will indeed bring them a huge crisis, and there will be no way to make up for the emptiness in the national treasury in a short period of time.
But if they really borrow the money, then repaying it later will also be a problem, because the national treasury currently has no special income.
At this time, the Ninth Prince also directly explained everything about the situation here.
"How to repay this kind of borrowing? How much is the interest, and we will be under great pressure to repay it later."
The Ninth Prince expressed his concerns. After all, the current residents really left everyone at a loss.
When the Ninth Prince faced this situation, they couldn't help but show a look of uneasiness in their eyes.
There was nothing he could do about it, after all, the current situation really made him a little helpless.
After Ji Ping'an learned about the situation, he nodded slowly.
A faint smile appeared on his face, and then he expressed his thoughts at the same time.
"This matter is also very simple for us. The court needs to increase tax revenue."
"Increasing tax revenue does not just mean increasing the tax burden. In fact, it can also be done in other ways."
Ji Ping'an, who saw all this in his eyes, also knew in his heart what the current situation meant to the court.
The Ninth Prince didn't understand what Ji Ping'an was talking about, and he had a confused look on his face.
"Expand the royal court's revenue and nationalize some industries, especially those that are closely related to the people, such as the salt industry."
"This industry has always been a very violent industry. As long as the imperial court can recycle the salt industry, the annual taxes will definitely increase significantly."
When the Ninth Prince heard what he said, it was indeed a good plan, but if this plan was really pushed forward, it would be very difficult.
The Ninth Prince couldn't help but have some concerns. He said slowly: "If we really do this, it will definitely arouse public outrage. I'm worried that the situation will get out of control by then."
The Ninth Prince expressed his concerns, but Ji Ping'an said slowly at this moment: "Don't worry about this. That situation will not happen. We can take a gentle approach."
"The next trial production will be left to me. You just need to carry out what I said. All the processes and manufacturing processes will keep the cost to the lowest. At that time, we can completely use price wars to make those who sell private salt at high prices People don’t go deep.”
When Ji Ping'an said such thoughts, you could clearly see the shock in the eyes of the Ninth Prince at this moment.
I didn't expect that Ji Ping'an would have such a flexible mind in business, let alone that he would be so straightforward in doing things.
"I have to say that you really admire me in some aspects. Not working in the court would be a big loss for us in the UK."
Ji Ping'an's face showed a faint smile at this moment, and he said slowly.
"Ninth Prince, please stop joking. You also know that my character in the court cannot be what you said."
"I'm used to being idle. If there's anything you need my help with, I'll do my best to help you, but I won't do anything I don't want to do."
The Ninth Prince also understood Ji Pingan's true thoughts at this time, so he naturally said nothing more.
The Ninth Prince is indeed very helpless now.
This situation was far worse for him than he imagined.
But as long as Ji Ping'an can continue to help him, all this can be settled.
The Ninth Prince and Ji Ping'an chatted for a long time. During the chat, the Ninth Prince also gained a deeper understanding of Ji Ping'an.
After the two talked about the matter roughly, Ji Ping'an began to make arrangements.
The first thing Ji Ping'an did was to write a letter to his two brothers, asking them to lead the troops in the war and try their best to annihilate Wei.
The Ninth Prince also immediately issued an edict appointing the two of them as generals to protect the country.
At the same time, they were also ordered to lead 300,000 elite troops to attack Wei State, and they must achieve a complete victory.
With the endorsement from the court, Ji Ping'an's two brothers began to attack with all their strength without hesitation.
With the help of Ji Ping'an, they have already become proficient in the art of war, and now lead troops to fight without any pressure.
Ji Ping'an also removed two thousand of his three thousand elite soldiers and sent them to the border to support and defend the most dangerous places on the border.
At this moment, three of the other six countries are plotting.
Among them, Jiang Guo bore the brunt.
Summon the special envoys of Yan and Wu to meet.
Jiang Guo's special envoy said slowly: "We are in a hurry today. The special envoys from the two countries are here to discuss important matters."
"We know what you want to do. At this time, counterattacking the Yun Kingdom and annexing their land is indeed an excellent choice. But I am very curious. You already have a cooperative relationship. Do you want to break the alliance?"
The envoy of Yan State expressed his thoughts and concerns because Jiang State and Yun State joined forces to attack Wei State.
At this time, he contacted other countries to deal with Yun State. Such a thing was somewhat unreasonable to them.
Taking all of this into consideration, their eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of helplessness.
In any case, the current situation is like this, and it is difficult for them to control it all.
When everyone faced this situation, they were not 100% sure what Jiang Guo was thinking.
"What the special envoy of Yan State said is true. There is indeed cooperation between us and Yun State, but it cannot reach an alliance."
"And people die for money and birds die for food, not to mention that it is a huge country. Our country has always had barren land and struggled to survive. If we can get the fertile land of Yun Country, how can we not do it."
