I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 79
Chunyu Yue cried for his father and mother and was taken away.

His next fate is already doomed.

That is, alive on the construction site in Lishan, exhausted to death.

This is Brother Zheng's temper!
As Chun Yuyue's voice gradually disappeared into the hall, Brother Zheng finally couldn't hold back, and asked Ying Changsheng about the doubts in his heart.

"Longsheng, I really don't understand. Where did you go to make such exquisite salt, and what's more, the price is so cheap?"

Well, Brother Zheng is really suspicious that Chunyu Yue can falsely accuse Ying Changsheng.

The reason is not that Chunyu Yue is so stupid.

In fact, Confucian scholars are smart.

They just fell into a misunderstanding of thinking for a moment.

After all, in the whole world, they have only seen tribute salt in the palace.

I only know that tribute salt is so clean.

Therefore, when they saw Liu Bang, Ying Changsheng's subordinate, selling tribute salt outside, both Chun Yuyue and Zheng Ge himself subconsciously thought that Ying Changsheng stole the tribute salt from the palace, and then sold it in the palace. Sold outside the palace.

"Father, this is very simple. It is nothing more than produced by the salt wells under Chang'erchen!"

Ying Changsheng grinned and said to Brother Chaozheng.

"Then Changsheng, what is the cost of the salt you produced?"

Brother Zheng asked.

"cost……"

Ying Changsheng muttered and fell into thinking. In fact, he had never personally managed the specific affairs at Yanjing. At this moment, he heard Brother Zheng asking how much the production cost was. , I really don’t know.

He frowned and murmured.

"Father, I don't know the specific cost of this, but I estimate that it is probably a few dollars per pound..."

"How much is a catty?"

The moment he heard this number, Brother Zheng couldn't help hissing, gasped, and murmured.

"Why, how can this be so low? The tribute salt from the East China Sea has the same quality, but the cost is much higher than yours. Just this, it is still expensive but not marketable!"

"Hehe, how would I know..."

Ying Changsheng laughed twice, and then Brother Chaozheng explained.

"Probably, it's the way they produce salt, isn't it..."

Hearing this, Brother Zheng didn't ask any more questions, but asked.

"Changsheng, on your side, how many catties can you produce per day if you produce this salt?"

"About two to three thousand kilograms can be produced in a day. Of course, this is just the beginning. The production of salt is when people use firewood to boil water to make salt. If the sun salt method is used, the production in the future will be even higher, tens of thousands a day. Don't even talk about it!"

After thinking for a while, Ying Changsheng explained.

Brother Zheng on the side frowned.

There is a very important figure in Brother Zheng's life. This person is called Lu Buwei. This guy is a businessman. He was once the teacher of Brother Zheng. In later generations, some people said that Lu Buwei was actually Brother Zheng's father.

In fact, this point of view is pure nonsense. The ancients paid more attention to blood relationship than modern people. If brother Zheng is not the blood of the Great Qin imperial family, then the Great Qin clans would not be willing. To Brother Zheng to inherit the throne?

The teacher Lu Buwei taught Brother Zheng a lot of truths.

For example, about business knowledge, I only heard brother Zheng frown and mutter.

"This is wrong, the output is so high, you kid, why are you selling it so expensively?"

That's right, the annual output of tribute salt in the East China Sea is only a few thousand catties, not more than ten thousand catties, so it is so precious.

Naturally, rare things are expensive.

Therefore, the price was sold as high as usual.

However, the production of Ying Changsheng's salt in a day is equal to the production of tribute salt in the East China Sea in a year.

The price is still so expensive.

This is something that does not conform to the laws of the market...

But Ying Changsheng grinned and said.

"Father, I don't know something. My son is short of money recently!"

"So, I plan to take the opportunity and make a fortune..."

"Father, think about it. At present, everyone thinks that this is tribute salt, which is expensive. I will sell it at a high price. I will send a message. After a few days, I will sell the excess at a lower price. go……"

"In this way, tens of thousands of dollars can be earned in a few days!"

"You boy, you are smart!"

Brother Zheng sighed with emotion, tens of thousands of dollars is a lot.

Only Brother Zheng murmured.

"It would be great if my Great Qin court could make money so easily..."

"Father means that the court is short of money?"

Ying Changsheng asked Brother Chaozheng.

The First Emperor smiled bitterly and said that education can lead to longevity.

"Silly boy, when will I, Daqin, not be short of money? No matter how much money there is, there will be times when it will be spent!"

"Oh!"

Ying Changsheng nodded.

Indeed, money is something that cannot be spent, especially for a country, it is not too easy to spend money.

Ying Changsheng murmured after thinking for a moment.

"I do have an idea. I don't know if Father is willing to listen to it!"

"tell me the story!"

Brother Zheng asked quickly.

"Father, the country is out of money. Do you think there is any way to solve this problem?"

"Well, it's nothing more than open source and saving money, there are two ways!"

Brother Zheng opened his mouth after thinking for a while and said.

Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, this is indeed the way to solve financial problems in all dynasties.

However, that is easier said than done.

However, it is difficult to do it.

Seeing Brother Zheng, he frowned and said.

"But, open source? Where can we open source? As for cutting expenditures, in my eyes, almost none of the things I do in Daqin can be cut down. Therefore, cutting expenditures is not an option. Alas, I am really embarrassed. ah……"

Brother Zheng's embarrassment was not without reason.

After all, Da Qin's treasury was somewhat empty.

After all, if you look at Brother Zheng's massive construction projects, you will know that it is extremely difficult for Da Qin's treasury to be empty!
However, knowing that the national treasury is empty, Brother Zheng has no way to increase the income.

Because, in ancient times, the open source method was also very simple and crude.

The ancients open source, generally increase taxes.

However, the people of the world, bearing the original taxes, already have many opponents and are dissatisfied. Now, if the taxes are increased, the complaints of public opinion will become more and more serious.

Seeing Brother Zheng looking embarrassed, Ying Changsheng grinned and said to Brother Zheng.

"Father, my son has a method, which can double the state's use without paying more taxes to the people!"

"The people do not increase the tax, but the national use doubles?"

Muttering these words in his mouth, Brother Zheng's eyes widened.

"How, how is this possible?"
