Chapter 798 Significant

Compared with the historical background and city scale of Yecheng, Liyang, and Chang'an, Taishan Yetianwang City was originally insignificant.

However, after more than ten years of development by Night Breeze, it has really caught up with these big cities and stepped into the sequence of super-large-scale towns. Compared with them, it is even worse.

Dongdu Palace.

Hall of Parliament.

Night Breeze summoned Guo Jia, Ye Pu and other ministers to discuss matters concerning the stability of the Northland.

"This is my cage policy, what do you think, you can speak freely!"

Night Breeze didn't hide anything, and directly told what was in his heart, which would save a lot of time.

The so-called cage policy!

It can be understood from the name that it intends to turn the entire Xianbei into a big cage, and completely control Xianbei by force, so that it is truly under its own control.

So, how to turn Xianbei into a cage?

This is Night Breeze's method!

He will strive to establish N pilot cities like white sandalwood in key locations on the grassland within 20 years.

Then build a large number of roads to connect the pilot cities to form a network and divide the grassland. As long as the road can extend to the place, that is the direction in which the power extends.

In this way, once a war breaks out somewhere, the Night Breeze army can send troops to quell the chaos in the shortest possible time.

Night Breeze knew that the issue of alien races did not happen overnight. Therefore, he decided to use twenty years to completely control Xianbei!

This will be a long process of boiling frogs in warm water!

Fortunately, after many years of trials in the first batch of pilot cities, the response has been very good.

Many Xianbei people have learned Mandarin because of business transactions, and some Xianbei people have married Han women and become half Han Chinese, and the assimilation of foreign races has been steadily advanced.

This time, Xianbei Kebineng in the central part and Xianbei Suli in the western part have been eliminated, which is an excellent time for the second batch of pilot cities.

How could Night Breeze miss it!

Ye Pu took a deep breath, pondered for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, the idea of ​​the cage policy is good, and the timing is ripe, but the manpower, material and financial resources spent on building the city are huge, and now the country is initially determined. Is it inappropriate for us to work hard to build a new city with waste waiting to be rebuilt?"

Night Breeze had already expected that Ye Pu would say this, and he immediately gave a solution: "Since the implementation of the new tax law, private capital has developed on a large scale, and domestic business has prospered. We only need to control the general direction without too much intervention. .”

"This is one, and there are two!"

"The prosperity of business today is even worse than that of the Wenjing period. Although our commercial tax revenue is quite a lot, it is difficult to support our current development needs, so we need more money!"

Zhuge Liang nodded silently: "Your Majesty is right. After Liang accepted the matter of Senior Wen Ruo, he found that although our tax revenue has increased by more than a hundred times in recent years, there are more places to spend money."

"Military expenditure is one aspect. Roads, bridges, water conservancy, minerals, etc. all need money, especially in terms of roads. In recent years, our investment has been very huge, and the cost is quite serious!

Earlier, because of this matter, Zhuge Liang suggested to Night Breeze that they could dig copper mines and cast copper as money to make up for the financial pressure, but Night Breeze flatly rejected it!

Quite simply, an appropriate amount of over-issued currency does help the economy develop.

But this thing is very addictive. Once excessive currency is issued, it will cause inflation and cause prices to rise, which is not conducive to people's lives.

"Therefore, our current predicament boils down to two words: no money!"

Night Breeze spread his hands and concluded casually.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ye Pu said softly: "Yes! Because of the limited funds, we have to spend the money wisely. The pilot city can be delayed a little later and done slowly."

Zhuge Liang hummed: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Liu Ji was afraid of cutting his military expenditure, so he clasped his hands together and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Guo Jia, Yang Wei and others also clasped their fists together: "I second the proposal!"

"There is no money, we can raise money!"

Night Breeze immediately snapped back.

"Financing?"

For this new term, Ye Pu said that he was very painful, and he didn't understand it at all.

Night Breeze explained: "Although we don't have money, it doesn't mean that other people don't have money. If we use other people's money to do our business, won't the problem be solved?"

night pu...

Guo Jia: ...

Liu Ji...

Zhuge Liang was slightly startled: "This... is financing?"

Use other people's money to do your own thing!

This kind of thing directly confused everyone, they didn't believe that such a good thing would happen in this world!

The corners of Ye Pu's lips twitched slightly: "Your Majesty, forgive me for your ignorance. How can you make others willingly take out the money? This is completely impossible!"

Liu Ji nodded: "That's right, Your Majesty, I really can't think of any way to get others to withdraw the money. Unless we search some aristocratic families, it is absolutely impossible."

Zhuge Liang added: "If we follow His Majesty's strategic conception, how many great families do we have to search? And what reason do we use to search? Besides, doing so will definitely cause panic, and I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses!"

Doubts came one after another.

But Night Breeze didn't take it seriously at all. After all, this kind of advanced financial management concept can't be compared with these natives more than 1,800 years ago!

"What's so difficult about it?"

Night Breeze put on a little fork: "I have a way to make everyone in the world willingly hand over money to me, and it will definitely not cause any panic!"

Ye Pu was suddenly surprised: "Everyone in the world...?"

Night Breeze said with certainty and certainty: "That's right! Whether it's the rich, the officials, or the poor, they will all hand over the money willingly."

Everyone unanimously asked in unison: "What way?"

As for the pen, it is more focused on maintaining the political power, a series of normal operations, what is needed.

And what about the purse?

This thing will run through your entire regime.

In fact, the final result of the continuation of politics and the military is all for the economy, and political and military actions without economic support are nothing but empty shells in the end, and they will lose their corresponding meaning.

The normal and orderly development of a country, fundamentally, is to ensure that fiscal revenue and fiscal expenditure are within a reasonable range.

If the financial revenue is much greater than the financial expenditure, then the national power is strong and the money is too much to spend, then there will be capital for foreign wars, and wars between countries will break out;

If fiscal revenue is far less than financial support, then fiscal deficits, inflation, and domestic chaos will inevitably occur. After a long time, civil war will definitely break out.
