"Everyone, now that the imperial court is recruiting new troops, food and grass are in short supply, and military pay is also a huge expense. Do you have a solution?"
"Prime Minister Lin, Mr. Shen, please tell me first!"
Ning Fan directly asked the question to Lin Qiushi, and Shen Li slightly raised his hand: "Your Highness, some time ago, we used work-for-relief. Although the roads around our capital were rebuilt, most of the treasury was lost."
"I'm at my wits' end!"
"I have nothing to do!"
A sneer appeared on Lin Qiushi's face, and he said calmly: "Besides, I, the Minister of Public Affairs, do not have the decision-making power. This matter needs to be paid more attention to by my colleagues in the Ministry of Education."
"good!"
"In that case, I have an idea."
Ning Fan stood up slowly, looked around, and then landed on Lin Qiushi: "I need you, Prime Minister Lin, to implement this matter!"
"I would like to hear His Majesty's opinion!"
“Issue national debt!”
"National debt?"
Except for Shen Li and others who had discussed it in advance, Lin Qiushi and other ministers all looked puzzled. After Ning Fan explained the national debt, Chen Qinghe said excitedly: "Your Highness is brilliant, I admire you!"
"Yes, this national debt method can indeed relieve the financial pressure of Dayu!"
"Your Highness is brilliant!"
Actors such as Shen Li, Zhuge Liang, Shang Yang, etc. all stood up and seconded the opinion. Even Lin Qiushi, a political enemy, had to praise: "Your Highness is smart, but this method can be solved for a while, but in the end it is tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall! "
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause!"
"When the national debt expires, what if the national treasury still has no money or food?"
"I have already had a countermeasure for this matter!"
"I will leave the issue of national bonds to Prime Minister Lin. Within a month, at least five million taels of silver will be raised!"
"yes……"
After the household issue was resolved, Ning Fan looked at the sixth prince Ning Xun who was hiding silently in the corner: "There is one more thing that I would like to discuss with you all!"
"Some time ago, my sixth brother led his army to defeat the 70,000 cavalry of Mobei deputy commander Su Gaiwen. I am going to make him a prince. Do you have any objections?"
"this……"
This time, even Shen Li was stunned. When Ning Xun heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, shouting in his heart: Mom is selling me!
Title him a prince?
Doesn't this push him into a pit of fire?
He grew up silently and was doing well in his own one-third of an acre of land. Why did the second child push him out?
Could it be that he has discovered his own power and wants to win over him in the fight for the heir?
"Your Highness!"
"There is no such thing as childishness in the court!"
"Su Gaiwen's 70,000 cavalry are all tiger and wolf troops. The sixth prince is just the vassal king of Xun'an. How can he be able to destroy the 70,000-strong army?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Seeing that all the ministers raised objections and doubts, Ning Xun breathed a sigh of relief, but Ning Fan smiled slightly: "You can't trust me, but can you trust Jin Yiwei?"
"Can this king still deceive the ministers?"
"Sixth brother, please come out and tell me, was Su Gaiwen's army destroyed by your people?"
"In front of the ministers, you must not be deceived, otherwise the emperor will send the royal guards over to investigate."
Ning Xun was pushed forward, with a sad face, unable to speak for a long time. He was submissive and silent for a long time. In the eyes of the officials, this was clearly a fear of King Yong!
"Brother Hui Huang...it was...my people killed him!"
"Have you heard this?"
Ning Fan looked at the ministers, and everyone rolled their eyes. This clearly showed that His Highness was being threatened!
Cai Ji, the Minister of Punishment, stepped forward slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, since you said that His Highness was the Sixth Highness, let's record this achievement to His Highness. However, to confer the title of Prince is because the matter is serious and requires a clan. Let the clan elders of the human government discuss it."
"It's better to slow down this matter for a while!"
"Master Cai is right!"
"Yeah, you should take it slow!"
The ministers all agreed, and Ning Fan smiled and gave Ning Xun a playful look: "Okay, then I will follow your Lordships' instructions and take it easy first. However, there is one thing that cannot be slowed down!"
"What's the matter?"
"Renovate the capital!"
"I am planning to expand King Yu's City and build four national highways in all directions with King Yu's City as the center."
As soon as Ning Fan's words fell, he immediately caused an uproar in the court. Even Shen Li didn't know about this matter. It was obviously a spur-of-the-moment idea. Lin Qiushi finally found a reason to criticize: "Your Highness, now, the military pay and food have not been collected yet." Qi, where will the money come from the treasury to expand the city?"
"yes!"
“How much manpower and material resources are needed to build four roads?”
"Your Highness, please think twice!"
Shen Li also looked at Ning Fan and asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, do you have any specific plans?"
"Um!"
"Let's talk about the expansion of King Yu City first!"
"The City of King Yu is the capital of our Emperor Yu, and it is also the economic and political center of our Dayu. The current population in the city is only over 400,000, which is too small!"
"Moreover, the facilities and planning in King Yu's city are imperfect!"
"As for building roads, the four borders in our territory of Dayu are unstable. If we can build four roads in the territory, we can reach the northern border from King Yu's city in two and a half days!"
"Where's the money?"
Chen Qinghe grimaced and looked at Ning Fan with some resentment: "Your Highness, building four national highways will cost at least millions of taels and require hundreds of thousands of laborers!"
"money?"
"National debt?"
"Didn't I just say that?"
"Let Prime Minister Lin issue five million treasury bonds and collect it in one month?"
"Five million isn't enough to build roads?"
After Ning Fan finished speaking, Lin Qiushi was speechless for a moment. Chen Qinghe also breathed a sigh of relief, while Shen Li remained silent as if it had nothing to do with him.
However, if the road can really be built, it will be a good thing for the country and the people!
"Gentlemen, do you have anything else to discuss?"
"Retreat!"
After slipping out of the palace, Ning Fan directly opened the system. He just got the system notification sound and finally collected a thousand summoning points and was able to summon Chinese heroes again.
"Brother Tongzi, the mysterious clues can't be used yet?"
"Insufficient master authority!"
"Okay, use a thousand summoning points to summon a peerless general for me!"
"Summoning, please wait!"
Ning Fan was riding on a tall horse, but a figure gradually flashed across his eyes. He was holding a silver spear and riding a white horse. He rushed into an army of ten thousand people alone. He entered and exited seven times, and no one was his enemy. !
"It's him!"
With just one glance, Ning Fan knew who was coming!
Shijiazhuang Zhao Zilong!
"Boom, trigger the temporary option, option one: spend 5,000 luck points to strengthen the summoned character, and randomly strengthen the intelligence by 1~3 points!"
"Option two, spend 10,000 luck points to strengthen the summoned character, and randomly strengthen the force value by 1 to 5 points!"
"Option three, spend 100,000 luck points to strengthen the summoned character, strengthen the force value by 3 points, and control the value by 3 points!"
"Master, please make your choice within ten seconds!"
