But when the words came to his mouth, Sun Chengzong swallowed it back and said, "There are many ways to save money, but this method to open up wealth is difficult to determine!"

Xu Guangqi took a sip of tea ceremony: "But now that people are becoming more and more prosperous, the more people are enjoying honor, it is not possible to rely on frugality, the old army cannot stop, and the new army must be trained, such as those post stations, if you cut off the post station, you can save a lot of money, but what will happen to these post stations once they have no responsibilities? These people will have trouble. At that time, it is likely that the border troubles are not overdue and internal troubles are arisen, so you must open up wealth."

Sun Chengzong nodded: "This is the reason, but this open up wealth will also affect the whole body."

Xu Guangqi sneered: "You Donglin people don't often like to talk big, but they pay attention to family, national and world affairs. Why are you so unwilling to do it?"

Sun Chengzong was not angry when he was ridiculed by Xu Guangqi, and said, "It doesn't matter if you talk emptyly, but this is a national policy to be dedicated to Your Majesty. How can you be at will? Otherwise, you will be the second best if you mislead yourself. If you mislead the country and the country, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

Xu Guangqi smiled slightly, and he agreed with Sun Chengzong's answer.

However, for this, Xu Guangqi took the initiative to say: "I have a few ideas, Brother Zhisheng, would you like to hear it?"

Sun Chengzong reached out to make a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Please tell me your opinions."

Xu Guangqi said: "Why don't you learn from Zhang Juzheng, clear the land acres of land in the world, and clarify the land taxes, so that the common people can reduce the taxes, increase taxes by powerful people, and then increase the income of the treasury and the people will have no burden to increase?"

Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "What a smart and capable person Zhang Juzheng is. Even Feng Bao, the big lord of the inner court, bowed to him. The border general Qi Shaobao had to be his subordinates. He had not been able to completely stop the annexation of land. I, Sun Chengzong, did not have the ability to be enemies with the people of the world. I am afraid that before I could reform the world, I would be in a different place!"

Xu Guangqize said again: "However, you will be Yan Song, from now on, you will be loyal to the superiors and be kind to the subordinates, and then plunder the greedy money, and then give the greedy money. Even if you are the name of a treacherous minister, you can also protect the country!"

Sun Chengzong laughed again and waved his hand and said, "I don't have the ability to not fail for twenty years! Besides, Sun doesn't know where his career will go in the future. Just let me learn the methods of the chief assistant!"

"But this is Your Majesty's intention! It's not me that I'll let you prepare for the Prime Minister in advance."

Xu Guangqi said, then said again: "It's not okay to clear the land of Zhangzhang. You are unwilling to make money and plunder it. Then, I have another idea!"

As he said that, Xu Guangqi said: "In the Songjiang area of ​​my hometown, the cotton and weaving industry are developed. Therefore, there are many silk-collecting teeth stores. These teeth stores make profits by making the difference between the price difference, and making a small profit every day. However, our Ming Dynasty commercial tax only collects taxes for passing the customs and transactions. Such intermediary merchants do not have taxes. You can submit a memorial to suggest that the court impose additional commercial taxes, especially the taxes for this kind of tooth store! Now not only Songjiang, Jiangnan, and the capital are full of large and small dentists. Isn't it bother to collect these taxes?"

Sun Chengzong stood up in panic and said in fear: "This matter must not be done! Who doesn't know that the one who started the Yashang is either the royal relative or the Minister of the Pavilion as his backer. If I suggest to collect the commercial taxes of these Yashang, it will be nothing if I ruined my reputation, and it will harm Your Majesty! You Xu Zi can think of it first!"

Xu Guangqi shook his head and said, "Then I have no choice. If I don't think of a way to deal with the business tax, would I have to pay additional taxes?"

Sun Chengzong said: "Of course not. It doesn't matter if you add land taxes in the south. Anyway, there is a side job to support us. But if we northern people add more taxes, we will really become sad, hungry, or even chaos!"

Xu Guangqi suddenly said again: "In the Han Dynasty, in order to conquer the Huns, he had to collect salt and iron for the benefit of the government. Why don't we also suggest that His Majesty agree to the official business? Similar to the opening of the Huangdian Huangzhuang in the Chenghua Dynasty, you should know that the Eastern Gate was also in chaos at that time. In the end, the Emperor of Xianmiao used the benefits of the Huangzhuang Huangdian to train the army and plowed the den of the Eastern Gate! The fact that there was no more trouble for the Eastern Gate in Liaodong for a hundred years. It was not until recently that the Li family raised the enemy and reigned themselves that the Eastern Gate had caused another trouble."

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong became interested and said, "But this also made people at that time quite criticize the Xian Temple, believing that it seized the benefits of the people and manipulated all officials, so there was a saying that three old men in paper were pasted and six clerks were clay sculptures."

"The master is strong and the ministers are weak, so there will naturally be three old men in the pavilion and six ministers in clay sculptures. It is just a discussion of censors. They hope that the ministers and the ministers of the pavilion will fight against the emperor and listen to their words! But is it the censors who have the final say in the world or the emperor? Are we loyal to the censors or to the emperor?"

Xu Guangqi asked.

"Of course it's the emperor."

Sun Chengzong replied.

"So, it is a good idea to make profits from the official business! You were right just now. As long as you increase taxes, no matter which tax you add, it will affect your whole body. Only this money does not involve too many people. You only need to invest and send people to run it. It is naturally difficult for the court to directly ask for money from the rich and noble people. However, if the court makes money from the rich and noble people, it will be less difficult. Moreover, changing the imperial camp to the official camp and making profits in the name of the court can not only achieve the effectiveness of the Xianmiao Dynasty and avoid the slander of the emperor and the father of the time. At most, it is just to say that you, Sun Zhisheng, are good at making money!"

Xu Guangqi continued to speak.

Sun Chengzong suddenly stood up again: "This idea is very good! Just expand the profits of the official business! At that time, Your Majesty's treasury can be dedicated to the army, and the wealth used by the civilians can be fully compensated for by the official business!"

As Sun Chengzong said, he smiled and said, "After all, you Xu Zixian, will think of new ideas. By the way, Your Majesty asked you to recommend veterans who are idle or retired as a teaching position. How did you do, you have any ideas?"

Xu Guangqi replied: "I searched through the files of the military generals of the Wanli Dynasty, the Ministry of War Military Selection Department, and selected a group of veterans who had not yet passed away! I was about to present to Your Majesty at that time. You are really a wise and wise man. It is hard for him to think that letting these veterans break up their armor and return to their fields and stay in the mainland is a waste. They should be kept in the court to train the backwards of our Ming Dynasty! It is said that the chief of the Eastern Barbarians is good at fighting. There are so many generals and talents in our Ming Dynasty. It has only been more than twenty years since the three major wars of the Wanli Dynasty. If you don't worry, you will be better than Nurhaci!"

Sun Chengzong laughed: "You Xu Guangqi is going to train troops for the court and now you are going to select generals for the court. It's quite like Tan Xiangmin (Tan Lun, a famous anti-Japanese official). I haven't asked you yet, why are you often coming to the vicinity of the Jingying School Farm recently? Tell me, why do you love to run here every day? It's in the wilderness!"

Xu Guangqi looked towards the Jingying Schoolyard and said, "Your Majesty said that you should not only have veterans in the martial arts hall as men. You also have excellent young military officers who are in charge of the new martial arts supervision. It is said that the martial arts preparations in the Jingying are relaxed. I come here every day to see if there are any military generals who are still persistent in training. I don't believe that the huge Jingying camp is all military officers who are not accustomed to training."

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong laughed: "I don't know if there are any military officers in the Beijing camp who are still diligent in practicing martial arts, but in our country's Zijian, I found that the art of riding and shooting every day in one go is said to be a great trouble for the Donglu. If you want to serve the country, you should not forget the six arts of gentlemen in order to order troops for the king's battlefield in the future!"

Xu Guangqi was shocked after hearing this: "Is this a person? What is his name? Xu wants to know him!"
