Open source for the imperial court.

When Zhao Xuanji heard this, he frowned immediately.

When a normal person hears that the court wants to get more money, his first thought is that the court needs to increase taxes.

Because the imperial court's largest and only financial source is national taxation.

Since the court thinks that the money is too small now, isn’t it just an increase in taxes?

But then Zhao Xuanji felt it was unlikely.

Now that the country is suffering from natural disasters and refugees are everywhere, under normal logic, the court cannot provide relief for disaster relief, and tax reductions have been repeated. If the exemption is made in the third place, how can it increase the tax burden?

This is a foolish move to force the people to rebel directly.

According to his understanding of Li Chen, Li Chen is definitely not a fool who can't see the situation clearly and kills chickens to get eggs.

Without waiting for Zhao Xuanji to think carefully, Li Chen seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking, and then continued: "But it is impossible to increase taxes. Nowadays, the people are living in poverty, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a miserable person. At this time, the court will increase taxes again, which means that officials force the people to rebel and cause chaos."

It is not impossible to increase taxes.

For example, commercial tax.

The people are living a miserable life, but the big businessmen and landlords are still very comfortable.

But now, it is not the time to move this big force.

Li Chen thought so in his heart, and his words kept saying.

"This palace wants to be the head of the Ministry of Revenue, and the imperial court will invest in the treasury to set up a bank in the country to attract merchants, landlords, people, and people from all over the world to deposit the excess silver at the bank."

"At that time, the money house will have a huge cash flow that no one dares to imagine. How much can the court do after the money is mastered?"

Listening to Li Chen's narration, Zhao Xuanji couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

It is so shocking that this old fox who has truly become a spirit can imagine how much impact Li Chen's proposal will have on him.

Zhao Xuanji could not connect the court with the money shop in any case. In his opinion, the court did business or opened a money shop in a completely unreasonable way.

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Xuanji interrupted Li Chen, and he bowed with a serious expression and said, "The court assisted the emperor in governing the world and educating the people with the affairs of the king. This is the core of the government affairs of our Great Qin Empire. How can we do business?"

"Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce are the cheapest, and the yellow and white things have always been the most despised and despised by our scholars."

"Although we have to try to solve the emptiness of the treasury, we cannot degrade ourselves."

"Your Highness also asks you to take back your life, otherwise once this matter is reported, not only will the civil and military officials in the court be upset, but even the scholars in the world will be heartbroken."

Seeing that Zhao Xuanji reacted fiercely, Li Chen's face became colder.

"Business is the cheapest? I want to ask the Pavilion Master, what are the so-called powerful people in the Qin Empire now spread across the country, after counting three hundred and sixty years, the first generation of ancestors in their families who have made their fortunes?"

Before Zhao Xuanji could speak, Li Chen asked and answered: "First talk about the ancestor of this palace, the ancestor of the Great Qin Emperor Taizu, who was a poor peasant. Later, he worked as a beggar on the street, became a monk, and even became a bandit. It can be said that the most humble origin in the world is Emperor Taizu."
