"Meet Your Highness!"

Seeing Qin Wei entering the main hall, the three of them bowed to worship.

Qin Wei waved his hands, sat on the main seat, and said with a smile, "Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Qin Wei looked at the old man in the hall, and said with a smile: "I think this senior is Senior Lu from Baiyin Valley."

"The old man is Lu Jiuchen!" Lu Jiuchen bowed again.

"Senior, please sit down." Qin Wei said with a warm smile: "It is thanks to the senior who held the battle for Zhenwusi during this time, so that Zhenwusi can sweep away the remnants of the holy religion."

"This king has already asked the court for merit for Baiyingu, and when the time comes, I will ask the seniors to work for the court."

Lu Jiuchen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "If Your Highness likes our Baiyingu, then I, Baiyingu, would like to support His Highness."

"Haha~~" Qin Wei laughed loudly.

Talking to smart people is comfortable.

"Di Renjie, I'll leave the affairs of the Wusi Yamen in Shuzhou Town to you next, and give Baiyingu the official position of commanding colleagues."

"Here!" Di Renjie said.

Now that the war in Shuzhou is completely over, the establishment of the Shuzhou Town Wusi should also be put on the agenda.

Since Baiyingu is willing to take the lead for Qin Wei, Qin Wei naturally can't treat Baiyingu badly, and an official position of commanding colleagues must be indispensable.

"Well, you guys go to work first." Qin Wei said with a smile.

"The officer will leave!"

Di Renjie winked at Lu Jiuchen, bowed and exited the main hall.

After the two of them left, Qin Wei asked Li Ru, "How is the situation?"

Li Ru smiled wryly, and said, "The hole is too big, and it cannot be repaired for the time being."

Li Ru came to Shuzhou City as early as half a month ago, and Li Ru has been busy with money for the past half month.

The Shuzhou Rebellion only lasted for more than two months, but the money spent was as many as millions of taels.

For the food and grass of the tens of thousands of troops, the relief of refugees caused by the war, and the losses suffered by the government and county offices, Li Ru allocated a large amount of silver and food in the eastern and southern regions of Shu.

Li Ru or Qin Wei shouldn't be in charge of these matters, but the chief secretary of Shuzhou has been paralyzed. If Qin Wei doesn't care, there will definitely be more turmoil in Shuzhou.

"How far away?" Qin Wei asked.

"The difference is 200 million taels!" Li Ru said.

"Why is there still so much difference?" Qin Wei frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, in the land where the rebels in Western Shu have devastated countless mansions, countless people were killed and injured, and the spring plowing was missed. If the government does not release food for relief, many people may starve to death this year." Li Rudao.

The time when the rebels broke out was the time of spring plowing. Under the chaotic war, the people were naturally unable to plow. Now that the spring plowing season has been delayed, even if they plow now, the harvest will not be good.

Qin Wei thought for a while, and said, "Is there any Ku Yin in Tianzhou Town Wusi?"

"No more!" Li Ru shook his head.

"There are tens of millions of taels gone?" Qin Wei was startled.

You must know that he ransacked several sects in Tianzhou and accumulated tens of millions of taels of silver.

"Your Highness, Lord Zhuge and Lord Tie are busy setting up government offices in other states, and the tens of millions of taels of silver have already been distributed," Li Ru said.

Qin Wei slapped his forehead, but he forgot about it.

"In addition, we paid the Chief Secretary of Tianzhou 30 shi of grain." Li Ru said again.

This Qin Wei knows that Tian Sixin borrowed a lot of food from Tianzhou before, and it was only because of his face that Tian Sixin borrowed it. If there is a loan, it must be repaid, otherwise Tian Sixin would not be able to afford such a big one. shortfall.

"Write a memorial and report it to the court so that the Ministry of Households can distribute the food." Qin Wei said.

This matter was originally a matter of the court, and the money should be paid by the court. Now that the famine is owed, the court will naturally have to pay it back.

Li Rudao: "The lower officials have already played the performance. The Ministry of Households has allocated [-] shi for military rations. It is estimated that they will arrive in Tianzhou in two days."

"..."

Qin Wei was speechless for a while.

One hundred thousand stones is not enough to return to the Chief Secretary of Tianzhou.

"That's all?"

"Well, that's all. The household department has issued official documents, and Shuzhou's third department will handle the affairs of Shuzhou." Li Ru said helplessly.

Qin Wei wanted to curse a little bit.

In addition to the yamen of the capital, the third division of Shuzhou is still in a state of paralysis, the chief secretary and the inspection department are paralyzed.

Under normal circumstances, it should be handled by the Sansi Yamen, but the problem is that the Sansi Yamen can't handle it now.

As for the style of the household department, Qin Wei also knows that if you can save, you will save, and if you can't pay, you won't pay.

The financial problem of Dali Chaotang is actually very serious. Don't look at how Qin Wei can get millions of taels of silver at every turn after establishing the Zhenwu Division, but in fact the household department is short of money and food year after year.

As for the reason, it is still a matter of folk martial arts forces. These sects occupy a large number of industries, but they don't need to pay taxes to the court. It is strange that the court has money.

In fact, it is not easy for the Ministry of Households to allocate [-] shi of grain for Shuzhou. After all, there is still a big problem in Yunzhou that has not been resolved.

"You need to make some money!" Qin Wei said dully.

The importance of money goes without saying.

For the common people, money and food are their livelihood, and without money and food they cannot survive.

For the Zongmen forces, money is a resource, and everything can be lacking, but money cannot be lacking.

For Zhenwusi and Qin Wei, money and food are the basis of everything.

Without money, the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division can't wait to drink the northwest wind.

"Your Highness, Shuzhou is waiting to be rejuvenated, and it is difficult to get money now." Li Ru said.

At this time, Qin Wei misses the capital a little bit. The capital is so nice. There are nobles, families of officials, and countless wealthy mansions. You only need to copy a few to get a lot of money.

Qin Wei leaned against the back of the chair, lightly tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

Making money is simple and easy to say, but difficult to say.

The simple way is to ransack the house. Although Shuzhou is in chaos now, there are also many rich and big families.

But always relying on this method of making a fortune is not a long-term solution after all.

Zhenwusi needs money, and he will also need money to operate in Shuzhou in the future, so he must have a steady stream of financial resources.

In fact, what Qin Wei wants to do most is to collect taxes, to collect taxes from folk martial arts forces.

Those sects occupy a lot of property, if they can collect taxes from them, they can naturally get a lot of money.

But the problem is that Zhen Wusi does not have the right to collect taxes, even if it is collected, it should be collected by the court.

Moreover, the Zhenwu Division's yamen in various states has just been established, and some states have not even been established yet.

Collecting taxes rashly at this time is likely to arouse the resistance of the Zongmen forces.

If you can't collect taxes, you can only make money through normal business.

Among the martial arts forces, the most profitable industry is pills, and this industry is somewhat difficult for Qin Wei.

Because he has no talents who can make alchemy under his command.

The second is the sale of weapons.

Cold weapons are consumables, especially for low-grade warriors, almost one weapon will be consumed in one battle.

There are many magical weapons in this world. For example, the Qiushuang Sword in Qin Wei's hand is considered a magical weapon. It is forged from a very precious cold iron.

However, most of the weapons in the hands of warriors are ordinary soldiers, all of which are forged from steel.

"Take the weapons in the army and sell them." Qin Wei said softly.

The Dusi Yamen can forge weapons by themselves, and Qin Wei wants to make money, forging weapons and selling them is undoubtedly the easiest way.

"Is this okay?" Li Ru asked.

Qin Wei shrugged his shoulders and said: "What's wrong, let those craftsmen in the capital's yamen leave the yamen, and then form a chamber of commerce, and sell it in the name of a private chamber of commerce."

Naturally, the Dusi Yamen cannot sell weapons, but people must be flexible!

"But what about the ore?" Li Ru said.

Qin Wei said: "There are many mines in Shu Prefecture, taking all those captives to mine mines can be regarded as reform through labor."

"When I make money, I will use work as a relief to repair the damaged buildings and roads in the city. In addition, the official roads are also in good order."

"Also, didn't we capture a lot of weapons this time? Those that can be used can be sold directly, and those that can't be used can be remade."

"If you can't sell it in Shuzhou, you can sell it in Tianzhou, or wholesale it directly to Luoxia Sect and Lishan Sword Sect. They have a lot of refining industries."

Since you want to be serious about making money, be bold.

Qin Wei didn't care about those rules and regulations. Now that he was in Shuzhou, although he didn't dare to call himself the king of Shuzhou, no one in Shuzhou dared to go against his will.

I will talk about Chaotang's issue later, what he wants to do now is to restore the people's livelihood in Shuzhou first, and then use the land of Shuzhou to build his own foundation and increase his heritage.

"You go and prepare for the weapons industry first, and then I will think of other ways."

"Here!" Li Ru responded.

Qin Wei thought for a while and said: "You are in charge of the chief secretary. Before the court arranges the chief minister, you are the chief minister of Shu Prefecture."

Li Ru chuckled lightly when he heard this, "I'm afraid that many officials in the court will use this to impeach His Highness and subordinate officials in the future."

"What do you care about them?"

Qin Wei said disdainfully: "No matter how long their hands are, they can't reach Shuzhou."

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will be dissatisfied?" Li Ru asked.

Qin Wei raised his eyebrows, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away!"

"It seems His Highness is ready." Li Ru smiled.

Qin Wei shook his head slightly, and said: "Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly."

"Since you can't go back to the capital, let's make a big splash in Shuzhou."

"What we have to do now is to build Shuzhou into the territory of King Ben, and then wait for the opportunity to skyrocket."

"Where is the timing?" Li Ru's eyes flickered.

Qin Wei said: "It's my grandfather's grandfather."

Li Ruchang laughed, "It seems that His Highness has already made a plan, so I can rest assured."

Qin Wei said flatly, "It's just ambition!"

Li Ru smiled without saying a word.

Ambition will expand with the growth of strength.

Ambition without strength is wishful thinking, while ambition with strength is ambition.

Walking all the way from Kyoto to Shuzhou, Qin Wei became more and more clear about his ambition, and now he no longer needs to hide it.

For Qin Wei at this time, Shuzhou is the best place to develop.

There is Mao Jiang in the three southwest states to attract firepower in front, and he only needs to stay in Shuzhou safely.

Perhaps Li Huang didn't expect that his restrictions on Qin Wei were actually helping Qin Wei.

In the final analysis, Lihuang still underestimated Qin Wei, he just thought Qin Wei was capable, and he just didn't want Qin Wei to be involved in the court, but he never expected that Qin Wei has become ambitious now.

Chapter 135 I want to be happy, and no one can stop me.

The bright moon hangs high.

Chuochuo clouds drifted past, making the jade plate in the night flickering.

Wearing a moon-white monk's robe, Wu Hua came by the moonlight, and saw that his eyes were like bright stars, corresponding to the stars and moon in the night sky, with a chic and elegant demeanor.

He looked at Qin Wei standing in the hall, with a smile on his face that was beyond dust.
