When he thought of sending capable operators and cleaning up more fields to sell, he could get 100 million taels of silver. Jing Hedi was in a good mood.

This is definitely not the delusion of Jing Hedi.

Do you like something that doesn’t cost money?

Ordinary people don’t need to get all the money to buy ten or twenty acres of land, just fill in five years.

During this period, the imperial court would purchase their grain at a high price. Do you think they have confidence?

There must be!

So now Jinghedi is only worried about one thing. What if some farmers overestimate themselves and buy more land beyond their ability?

He told Liu Mingqi about this question.

Liu Mingqi is aware of these things, because in modern times, there are too many such tricks.

He said without thinking, "Warning them to do what they can! Tell them that if they can't afford to pay back the money, they will recycle all the land and resell it. In addition, let his man go to the mine to do hard work, and only after paying back all the money can he get it out!"

Jing Hedi frowned: "Isn't this too cruel?"

"This is how the common people are. If you don't deal with them strictly at the beginning, they will most likely mess around in the end." Liu Mingqi said seriously, "Your Majesty, you reminded me! When the land is sold out, a capable Legalist general must be dispatched to the local area to supervise the use of the land by these people, and make regulations and deal with it mercilessly."

"Yes, yes." Jing Hedi thought about it and thought this suggestion was quite good.

"Another reason for dispatching the children of the Legal family is to protect the fields in the hands of the people." Liu Mingqi continued: "These lands were sold to them at a cheap price by the court. Of course, those landlords and gentry are not allowed to pick peaches. All lands are prohibited within five years, and any landlords and gentry are prohibited from purchasing land. Those who violate the violation will let them taste the iron fist of the Legal family!"

"good!"

Jing Hedi took a breath and was very happy.

Liu Mingqi is really a natural saint. She can see so many details that ordinary people cannot see at once.

If these lands were sold to farmers, the wealthy businessmen, landlords and gentry bought them at high prices, which caused land annexation and concentration, which would definitely not be a good thing for the people!

The key is that the people do not have a long-term vision and are greedy for immediate benefits, which is really easy to be deceived!

If the deadline is set to five years, after five years, they have paid back the accounts, and the land is all their own, and the output is purchased by the court. What a good industry is this? Who is willing to sell it?

"By the way, Mingqi." Jing Hedi suddenly asked, "How about you asking them to plant all sweet potatoes? Don't you need a base for planting sweet potatoes? This tens of millions of acres are enough?"

"Enough is enough, but we were ready in the Gyeonggi area before?" Liu Mingqi said, "They are in the Gyeonggi area, which is convenient for me to take care of and investigate, and it is also more convenient for the imperial court to promote. If they are there, it would be a bit inconvenient.

Besides, their grain production is very good. It can be supplied to the direction of Hebei Great Wall and the northeast can be supplied to the direction of Ningyuan Chengshan Haiguan. In these cities, rice and wheat should be prepared at the beginning.

Emperor Jinghe still dared to admit his mistakes.

When he saw Liu Mingqi refuting with facts, he no longer insisted.

Liu Mingqi smiled at this moment, "Your Majesty, you are looking for various ways to make money now, right? I have one here, do you do it?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Stop being naughty here, hurry up and talk!"

The boy didn't keep it a secret and said, "You also know that our Prince Yu Mansion has invented a new type of carriage, which sells very well! Starting next year, we will not only make high-end versions, but also prepare to make low-end carriages. With such a stable and down-to-earth carriage, those freight owners will definitely be willing to buy it.

But we only sell carriages, but not horses! If the court could buy more horses and sell them according to high-end and low-end versions, we should be able to earn a lot of money, right?

For example, if you buy a lot of them, then choose according to the color. Four snow-white horses can be sold for 1,000 taels of silver! And strong and durable horses can also be bought with a little more expensive than ordinary horses, right?"

Jing Hedi pondered: "What is the scale of your carriage? It's too small and boring."

Liu Mingqi said: "Our orders are mainly from the Gyeonggi area, so there are nearly 3,000 vehicles. The merchants in Jiangnan, Sichuan and Guangdong combined together can have at least 20,000 vehicles, right? If you are a little bit too lazy, you will have four horses, and there are two ordinary horses... For example, 40,000 or 50,000 high-end horses, even if a horse earns 100 taels of silver, it will be 40,000 or 50 million!"

As soon as he said this, Emperor Jing He became interested: "It seems to be good! But what if they don't buy such expensive horses?"

"Don't worry! This thing is a luxury item. You have bought a luxury carriage worth thousands of taels of silver. Can't you be equipped with a good enough horse?" Liu Mingqi said: "The rich man who can afford this money doesn't care about spending one or two thousand taels of silver to buy a horse! Maybe they have to buy a few more spare horses!"

"Really?" Jing Hedi expressed doubts.

Liu Mingqi smiled.

Poor Emperor, although he likes to enjoy it a little on weekdays, you are still far from the extravagant and extremely lust in Jiangnan!

Of course, such an emperor is not a loser!

"If you don't believe it, then sell it to me directly at this price!" Liu Mingqi simply said: "I can make more money with them with horses."

"Um……"

Emperor Jing He thought for a while and said, "Then let it go to you! Anyway, it is not good for the court to come forward for selling horses."

"OK!"

Liu Mingqi said: "Then I will first set 50,000 high-quality horses! Then there will be 100,000 ordinary horses. The price will be discussed at that time, and you will definitely be satisfied."

"hehe!"

The emperor smiled happily.

He estimated that if this business was completed, the court would earn another 10 or 20 million taels of silver!

After all, Mingqi calculated two hundred and fifty taels of silver for a top-quality horse.

But the price of the top-quality horses obtained by the imperial court on the grassland is only thirty to fifty taels per horse.

Buy in large quantities and it can be cheaper.

So the profit earned by the court selling a high-quality horse is 200 taels of silver!

Fifty thousand top-quality horses, one hundred thousand ordinary horses, and twenty million taels of silver are no problem.

With these 20 million taels of silver as a supplement, the benefits to the court are great!

...

Even the emperor should pay attention to the business of 20 million taels of silver.

The next morning, before the court meeting was officially started, he called Zhou Zhixiao and Nangong Ji over.

Emperor Jing He said the carriage and horse that Liu Mingqi said yesterday, and said, "Two dear friends, how are our current storage of war horses?"

Dakang's official horse farms are generally in Northwest and Hebei.

The specific management is managed by the Ministry of Revenue, but the Ministry of War is monitored anytime and anywhere.

Nangong Ji was a Menqing, "Your Majesty, before February this year, there were 470,000 horses in the thirty-five horses in the court, including 280,000 adult horses. However, after a series of war consumption, and after a slaughter of ponies and sanitation and loss of war, there are only 210,000 left in total."

Zhou Zhixiao, Minister of War, continued afterwards: "The cavalry of the Nine Guards of the Imperial Guards and the border troops suffered huge losses. Only 60,000 horses can be used immediately out of the 210,000 horses, and these need to be allocated to various cavalry teams! They are still yelling that it is not enough! If I hadn't seen the financial difficulties, I would have wanted to apply to buy another 100,000 horses!"

Emperor Jing He was stunned when he heard this.

What's the meaning?

Our Dakang horses are not only not enough, but also very in short supply?

Then wouldn’t my plan to make money go to waste?

No, no.

I should think about how to increase equipment for Dakang's army so as to better resist foreign enemies.

Putting aside the idea of ​​shame, Jing Hedi asked, "Is 100,000 horses enough? Can you buy more?"

Nangong Ji's eyelids twitched. He glanced at the emperor, and happened to be looking at him.

Then Nangong Ji lowered his head again and shut up.

Jing Hedi smiled slightly.

Nangong Ji is such a tactful person. He will not violate his own meaning.

Although the Ministry of Revenue is very, very difficult now, as long as it says it himself, he is willing to do his best and has the ability to do it!

This is also why he had let him take charge of the Ministry of Revenue for so long before!

When Zhou Zhixiao saw the emperor say this, he was immediately rude: "Of course, we want more soldiers, the better. There are no more than 200,000 to 300,000 horses! The main reason is that the war consumes too much, the supplement of horses will not be too fast, and the growth and development are too slow, so it is better to buy ready-made ones!"

"You're very light." Jing Hedi smiled angrily, "Do you know it's so difficult to buy a horse? Especially since I fought with them this year, we have to block the border market. In this case, it's even more difficult to buy a horse!"

"But we didn't fight with the small tribe alliance!" Zhou Zhixiao responded: "There are enough horses there! If you don't say anything else, as long as you make up your mind, you can definitely buy a hundred thousand horses."

Jing Hedi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I came to you to make money by selling horses. But now it's good, but you asked me to spend a lot of money to buy horses!"

"Actually, this is not contradictory." Nangong Ji said: "Your Majesty, why not buy more and sell the extra to Prince Yu. Wouldn't this make money?"

"Hey, your method is good!"

Jing Hedi laughed, "It seems that Mingqi always wants to act as our God of Wealth!"

One horse would earn 200 taels of silver for Prince Yu's Mansion, which means buying eight horses and finally selling one horse to Prince Yu's Mansion.

Although the rich people paid for the bill in the end, the feeling of making a fortune still made the emperor happy.

...
Chapter completed!
