Chapter 51 Rich, I can do whatever I want

Chang'an, the Secretariat.

Pei Min patted the table with one hand and shouted in annoyance: "Money, money, today, I finally understand what a penny means to stump the hero."

The world is almost stable, and the order after the chaos is reset, which is simple to say, but particularly complicated to do.

Pei Min is not short of talents, Zhang Jiuling and Song Jing are famous ministers all over the world.

Yuan Gan Yao is an old man in the officialdom and may be inferior in administrative abilities, but he is cautious and has been a prime minister for many years. He has many disciples and former officials, and is the most popular.

Li Yuanhong and Pei Min are not one-on-one, but his administrative abilities are still very outstanding. Moreover, he is a humble gentleman, a prime minister of the country, and has no reserves in his family. He is very popular with Ji Wenzi in the past and is also a good player.

There are also Li Shizhi, Han Xiu, Wei Jiansu, Cui Yuan, Zhang Hao, Li Xian and others, all of whom are good talents.

In addition, Yan Gaoqing, Yan Zhenqing, Wang Wei, Wang Zhihuan, Wang Changling, and Gao Shi have all the main basics in the temple.

His thoughts are also the most vulgar thing... money.

When Pei Min came to this era, he didn't know the pain of having no money. Although he was indeed a little short of money at the beginning, Pei's mother was very upright in managing the family and she would not have to worry about food and accommodation.

And he was also lucky enough to meet people like Xue Ne, Yuan Luqian, and He Zhizhang.

Yuan Luqian was responsible for the food and accommodation in Youzhou. The money for going to Beijing to take the exam was given by Xue Na, and He Zhizhang's mansion lived in Chang'an. Later, the top scholar in high school Princess Taiping gave a luxury house. After helping Li Longji stabilize the political situation and received a reward from the Dragon, he received a generous reward. He has never been worried about money since then.

Especially after marrying Jiao Chen, Jiao Chen's dowry was enough for Pei Min to spend half his life. He was a prosperous official career, and the Li Tang Dynasty adhered to the style of high salary and honesty, and his salary was enough, not to mention that he and Jiao Chen and the second identity of the richest man in Longyou.

But as the world gradually recovers and stabilizes, rewards after the war, pensions after the war, and local reconstruction after the war, all of this requires money.

And every transaction is astronomical, and it is often a huge amount of millions.

However, Chang'an was captured by the rebels, and the money and silk in the treasury were looted.

Although the Tang army confiscated the rebels' treasury, An Lushan had long dispersed part of the money in order to win people's hearts.

How easy is it to recover the money that has been scattered?

The treasury is empty, and money is needed in every place.

This directly led to the Ministry of Works, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Rites asking Pei Min for money, and even the Ministry of Revenue, which was responsible for the money bags of the Tang Dynasty, was asking Pei Min for money.

Pei Min almost shouted out the words of a hooligan who wanted money or death.

Only when he reached this point did he realize the importance of being rich.

Wang Wei sent a note and said, "Pei Shuai, this is the note handed over by the officials below. They are all suggestions on money and taxes. All subordinates have sorted it out..."

"Okay! Get it up!"

Pei Min was shocked.

Many people think that reviewing memorials is the emperor's power, but it is not.

The one who really reviews the memorial is the prime minister. The emperor thinks it is a memorial that the prime minister thinks is reasonable or worthy of discussion after reviewing it. Only some ministers who are allowed by the emperor have the power to bypass the prime minister, directly submit memorials to the emperor, and arrive at the heavenly listening.

Pei Min is the head of the prime minister, and the memorials of civil and military officials are naturally sent to Pei Min.

Pei Min cheered up and read it one by one, but most of them were opinions that were not the root cause.

Especially some radicals, Pei Min almost became furious when he saw it, but after thinking about it, he still endured it.

This is not a crime for words, even if it is a bad idea, it is better than a lack of idea.

"These people say that they raise taxes and those who take private coins will not be sent to you in the future. This idea may be immediate in the short term, but over time, the harm to the world is immeasurable."

"This increase in commercial tax will not affect the people on the surface. But in fact, once the commercial tax rises, all prices will rise, and the people who endure hardships will be the people. The world is just settled and the people are unstable. If they are bewitched by ulterior motives, they may even cause civil unrest."

"As for privately purchasing coins, the currency will flood, and the coins will depreciate in large quantities, thus losing credibility. Once it reaches the point of bartering, the court's economy will collapse. It will be difficult to save it!"

Pei Min actually has little understanding of finance, but many examples have happened in history.

With these lessons from the past, he has had certain prescient ideas on many things.

"The only feasible method at the moment is Yan Zhenqing's method of opening the Western Regions Business Road, which uses the differences between special products and materials from the East and the West to stimulate the economy. I don't know what the situation is going on with Zhongsi, the war is uncertain, and the business road cannot be opened, so this method cannot solve the urgent problem."

Pei Min rubbed her painful head, not knowing what to do.

Wang Wei said: "Shuai Pei, my subordinate has an idea."

Pei Min hurriedly said, "Tell me!"

"Kill the rich to help the poor!" Wang Wei said: "The court lacks money, and there are precedents in ancient times. I remember that in the early days of our dynasty, Emperor Taizu and Zheng Fengchi talked about wine. Emperor Taizu was arrogant, but Zheng Fengchi, a businessman, was qualified to talk about wine with him. Isn't it because Zheng Fengchi is rich in the world?"

Pei Min remembered that this person's name was the richest man in the Tang Dynasty in the early Tang Dynasty. His family was countless, and his home was filled with houses and houses, and they had a lot of contacts with the powerful. The Tang Dynasty was newly established, and there were many places that needed money urgently. Whenever the finances were tight, Zheng Fengchi would generously donate money and contribute money to help. Later, he did not come back, and Zheng Fengchi confiscated his home.

Such a businessman who is rich enough to rival a country is like Shen Wansan, who will not kill him and keep him fat?

Perhaps because of this, there has been no real wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty since then.

Pei Min suddenly reacted and said, "Are you talking about Geshuhan?"

Wang Wei nodded and said, "That's right! Pei Shuhan, Brother Shuhan is the best place to save face. You punish him to copy military rules and recite military laws in front of soldiers three times in the morning, noon and evening. If he has the same personality, he can spend money and pay any more money."

Pei Min hesitated. The Western Regions were under his rule, so he naturally knew the wealth of the Geshu family.

Since ancient times, wealth has not been revealed, especially after Zheng Fengchi's incident, no one has the courage to claim the richest man.

As for his other identity, the richest man in Longyou, this richest man is just an open person, and it is a joke to put it in detail. Even if he loses everything, he cannot fill the 10% vacancy in the current government.

The Geshu family is different. The Geshu family has the advantage of power in the Western Regions. They themselves are the leaders of the Geshu tribe. The family has been intermarried with the royal families of the Western Regions for several generations, and they have obtained the court's approval to run a salt and iron business.

His mother was the princess of King Khotan, and his grandmother was the princess of Kucha. He married Princess Anguo himself, and his family was full of power throughout the Western Regions.

The identity of the richest man in the Western Regions of the Geshu family was consolidated through power and money, and no one was shaken.

Hotan beautiful jade is famous all over the world. Eighty percent of the Hetian jades in the world come from the Geshu family, which is just one of the financial support from the Geshu family.

"Okay! I admit that you have money and can do whatever you want. I admit defeat. If you ask someone to notify him and spend money to eliminate disasters!"
