Leading the people under their rule to become rich is the top priority of all people-friendly officials under the Tang Dynasty. Since the imperial concubine Xia He made a statistical indicator of GDP when she was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, it has become a whip hanging over the heads of all people-friendly officials, and she will take it out and beat them from time to time.

Whether it is the internally issued official newspaper or the publicly issued Datang Weekly, the GDP data in various places will be scattered at the end of the year.

This has become the most direct indicator to assess whether officials are diligent and capable in office.

Just imagine, when an official sees his rule and ranks last on this list, is he under a lot of pressure? This is linked to the assessment, and the assessment is linked to promotion.

If you are the last one every year, let alone promotion, it would be a good idea if you don’t dismiss you.

Not to mention, there is still a question of face here.

Officials of the Tang Dynasty are renovating step by step. The new generation of officials basically come from major colleges. More than 70% of them come from the School of Political Science and Economics, and other colleges have changed careers and become people-friendly officials. Everyone is quite familiar with each other, and their competition with their former classmates has continued from the academy to the officialdom.

The taxes paid to the central government by various regions are 70% of the local tax revenue. That is to say, 30% can be intercepted by local governments to serve as local development funds. The more tax revenue is obtained, the more intercepted it will naturally be. The more intercepted it, the more funds will be left on the local area to become bigger and stronger, which forms a good-form cycle.

Moreover, for many projects, the central government will allocate funds to support local governments, such as some large-scale livelihood projects, such as main roads in various places, large-scale water conservancy projects, etc., the central government departments will have a budget and then allocate funds to local governments. Therefore, running money has become one of the important tasks of local officials.

Whoever can get money from the central government departments and yamen is his ability? As long as some local large-scale project plans can be included in the current annual budget of the national departments and yamen, it will be considered a reassurance.

There are actually many ways to make money, which depends on the ability of local officials. In addition to these central government offices, the Charity Federation, which is controlled by the queen himself, is now a rich man. For example, schools, clinics, and nurturing hospitals are held in various places, and they can also apply for funds from the Charity Federation.

The current Tang Dynasty has very different financial policies from any dynasty in the past. With the successful implementation of the national credit currency led by the imperial concubine Xia He, the finances have been greatly improved compared with the past. With the continuous import of precious metals overseas to the domestic market, the paper money issued by the Ministry of Revenue dared to issue a considerable portion of the annual fiscal revenue.

This year, the Ministry of Revenue even announced a new round of quantitative easing policies, which greatly exposes the market. Whether it is Wuwei Money House or Botong Money House, they have all pushed the loan interest rate to an extremely low level, vigorously encouraged everyone to borrow loans to develop agriculture, industrial workshops, and vigorously encouraged everyone to do business.

Although the act of letting the market outflow has led to a new round of price increases in the market, because the Western Regions, Qinghai-Tibet and other places were completely included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, many large-scale projects were launched vigorously, but the impact was limited to their small range. Many ordinary people could not even feel this change.

Just like the common people who farm, although they spend more money on buying things, their food can be sold at a better price. When they go out to do odd jobs, they can earn more money every day. And the workers working in the workshop have also ushered in a new round of wage increases.

Officials from all over the country have gone from being ashamed of profit in the old dynasty to being in the eyes of money now. If you can make money, you will work hard to do whatever you want.

This kind of behavior of striving to develop the economy and making the people's wallets bulge have promoted local public security to improve day by day. The reason why ordinary people are restless is not because they are not full or warm in their clothes? Anyone who has the surplus money in their pockets wants to make more money, but if they want to make more money, they need to have a stable environment. In addition to giving those ambitious people a soil to grow vigorously, it can only be a disaster for 99% of ordinary people.

After the officials discovered this, they naturally worked harder to make money and no return.

Only when the people have money can the government receive more taxes, and only when they have more taxes can the place become better. Better roads, better houses, and more beautiful scenery can make people pleasing to the eye at a glance.

This is true for provinces and county seats.

Just like the current Hunan Province, the provincial governor Qian Biao devoted his energy to the surrounding areas of Dongting Lake. This is the essence of Hunan now. Qian Biao spared no effort to vigorously develop the economy of this region. As a latecomer, Hunan Province naturally cannot compare with the original core ruling areas of the Tang Dynasty in the north, but Qian Biao was ambitious to use the vigorous development of this region to demonstrate his abilities.

Further down, the worst thing is the Xiangxi area. Before the bandits were eliminated, economic development was naturally subject to many constraints. Every step he took had to pay more hardships than other places. But officials like You Qingzhi and Zheng Duan were still trying their best to make their economic data better.

Their situation is special. In fact, even if they rank last, no one would question them. But if they could jump up, they would embarrass many officials in other places while demonstrating their outstanding abilities.

So, You Qingzhi put down his face and really discussed with Lu Kun the other party’s capital, a kind of medicine that nourishes yin and strengthens yang.

The reason why Lu Kun is so concerned is because he has tried it.

It is indeed a good thing to make men more manly, and I don’t know what secret recipe is used in it, but in Lu Kun’s opinion, as long as this thing is launched, you can definitely make a lot of money.

The first batch of patent medicines were made after half a month. You Qingzhi looked at the packaging of the rustic baroji and Lu Kun's shy pricing, and was very unhappy. With his strong persistence, the first batch of such patent medicines were replaced with gorgeous packaging, and the price directly increased five times above the original basis. In Lu Kun's dumbfounded expression, this batch of patent medicines was sent to you by You Qingzhi.

These patent medicines are expensive. Their role is to advertise and promote. Of course, for whom You Qingzhi has also planned it carefully.

Another half month later, the order flying in like snow flakes surprised Lu Kun but was stunned. Is this thing so valuable?

Expanding the workshop, expanding the area of ​​medicinal materials, and recruiting more workers. This time, Lu Kun also dared to borrow money from the money house. People's vision needs to be broadened. Although Lu Kun was the leader of a clan and became the king of the local area, he was hiding in a corner and had never been to Luoyang and Chang'an in his life, and his vision was really limited. However, after only a few months of going down the mountain, he had more than what he had seen and learned in his lifetime.

This made him sigh. If he had known this, he would have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. Why did he follow Ding to cat on the mountain for the past two years? He suffered a lot. The leader of the tribe must think carefully about it when eating some meat and drinking some wine, and he dare not let go of his stomach to eat and drink.

More importantly, after going down the mountain, the government's promises were fulfilled. Although he made a lot of money, the government basically did not harass him except for sufficient taxes. Of course, the necessary donations and charity still have to be done, but compared to what he earned, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, the government helps in business. I have no way outside, but the county master sends people to help. The county master graduated from the academy, has a wide path and a strong background! Moreover, the government does not covet its secret recipe at all, which is very rare.

For You Qingzhi, if Lu Kun makes a fortune, he will hire more people and solve more employment problems. It will naturally play a big role in local stability and development.

Compared with Lu Kun's rapid wealth, although the other companies were slower, they also started to get on the right track. With the help of General Shi Zhuangda, the first step of Hu's sesame oil business has opened up sales in the entire Hunan Province. The first batch of sesame oil produced was put into Yueyang market, and suddenly disappeared. Who wouldn't want to taste the good things that even General Shi praised and wrote the signature!

The only thing that made You Qingzhi unhappy was that the fact that he wanted to borrow a large sum of money from Broadcom Money Bank was dragged down by the senior management of Broadcom Money Bank in Hunan Province.

Now that they have the confidence to pay back their money, they are so unsightly, they should go to Wuwei Money House next. Even if the interest rate is slightly lower, they cannot be cheaper.

What You Qingzhi didn't know was that the Botong Money House, which had a wide range of hands and eyes, had already learned through various channels that in the future, whether it was Huayuan or Jishou, it would face a severe test. The war would inevitably spread all over the country. At this time, a lot of money was invested, and it was very likely that the local government would not be able to repay it on time. Naturally, they had to wait a little longer. After taking a look, they would have to wait until they passed this hurdle.

If you pass this hurdle, there is no need for You Qingzhi to come to ask for it. The shopkeepers of these money shops will come to you with money. Anyone with vision can see these places rising like the rising sun. By then, if you lend money, it will be a stable income. Moreover, as long as the government government office is still there, they are not afraid of not being able to receive money.
