Chapter 184 Surprise

"My husband, please stay!"

A shout made Yuwen Wen stop. He looked in the sound and saw a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking towards him across the street.

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, it looks like a good person at first glance.

Yuwen Wen made a secret gesture, asking the "masters" who were dispersed as guards to not be nervous, and then looked at the middle-aged man who was walking towards him: "What are you going to teach me about brother?"

The other party asked kindly: "Mr., are you a little nervous?"

When Yuwen Wen heard this question, his eyelids twitched and cursed in his heart: It would be fine if you didn’t feel my domineering spirit, but you actually think I’m very miserable?

I'm just wearing casual clothes, do I look that bad?

I thought so, but he immediately started the drama queen mode and said a little "never": "Who...who told you that I want to borrow money? I, I don't borrow usury!"

Wang Yue, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then began to cooperate with the acting, transformed into a loyal servant, and wanted to pull Yuwen Wen away quickly.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he saw this. He knew that the young man with alcohol smelled really had to worry about his hands. He quickly pulled Yuwen Wen enthusiastically: "Don't misunderstand me, my profit is not high."

"Then..." Yu Wenwen was very confused. Of course, this was pretending.

Wang Yue nervously pulled Yuwen Wen to leave, and this was also pretending.

"Langjun, as the saying goes, "Don't help the poor, but I want to be in a hurry to use the money, so I borrow some money first. After passing this hurdle, I can pay it back immediately. How much money can I get in just ten or twenty days?"

"Then... what is the interest?"

The middle-aged man made a gesture: "This number..."

Seeing this, Yuwen Wen shook his head: "Ah, too, too high..."

"It doesn't matter, does Langjun have real estate or land? If used as collateral, the interest rate will be lower..."

"I won't mortgage the property!" Yuwen Wen's expression was very good, just like a new lady who strongly demanded "selling her skills but not selling herself".

"It's okay, it's okay. This is just a guarantee. It's not to let Langjun move out immediately. If it doesn't pay it back when it expires, it won't let Langjun move out. Just pay it back slowly, it's fine."

"My boss is a well-known charity. It's very easy to say. If the husband is not at ease, he might as well sit in a small shop and listen to how the neighbors around and around praise my boss."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, with a kind smile and very tempting.

Yuwen Wen looked at the other party in a "tangled" manner and sneered in his heart: Sucking customers in the street to release usury? Are you itchy?

Yuwen Wen hated usury and believed that usury harmed the country and the people, so he made arrangements to crack down on the usury industry in Chang'an City. Now he actually encountered it himself, and he didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.

He originally planned to continue acting, follow the "good man" to go to the "shop" to sit, and then give the other party a "surprise".

I would like to "Yuwen Wen punched the smiling tiger" and waited for the onlookers to gather in the inner and outer layers, and then I would indicate my identity.

He brought the culprit who was extremely guilty and the backer behind the scenes to justice, won the cheers of the people of Chang'an and made his reputation popular.

It’s strange that he is the prime minister, but he is like a wanderer who stands up for justice in the market. When it is spread, it will only make people feel that he is not able to bear the responsibility.

That's all. If you accidentally get stabbed to death by a thug, and you're corpse on the street, what's that?

Yuwen Wen didn't want to act, but she was too lazy to deal with a minion himself. She waved her hand and said that she didn't want to borrow money and walked straight forward.

The middle-aged man did not give up and followed closely. Seeing that Yuwen Wen did not make gestures, the guards around him did not dare to act rashly, so they just watched.

In front of the street, many cavalry suddenly appeared. These cavalrymen acted as leading guides to open the way for the convoy that followed.

The carriage is in four-wheel style and is well-crafted. You can tell at a glance that it must be a powerful convoy traveling. It is very majestic and avoids pedestrians on both sides of the road. Looking at the convoy, he looks full of envy.

The cavalrymen who were opening the road saw many pedestrians on the street, slowed down their horses and shouted from time to time: "Give up, give up! Please give up!!"

Seeing this, Yuwen Wen felt strange: He actually said "please", which powerful entourage is so qualified?

You are so polite, I won’t use routines to show off and slap in the face!

As the largest powerful man in Chang'an City, Yuwen Wen stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the side of the road, looking up at the slowly coming convoy, while the middle-aged man was still talking beside him.

A cavalry noticed Yu Wen Wen standing on the roadside. After seeing clearly, his appearance changed. He stopped his horse one after another, jumped down, and hurriedly ran to him to salute: "Master! I don't know that the king is here, so I'm rude!"

The entire convoy stopped. When the entourage saw Yuwen Wen, they saluted quickly. When the pedestrians on the street saw this, they all stretched their necks and looked here.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man was so scared that his legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground. He didn't expect that this young man was actually a "king".

He wandered around the streets to solicit business for the boss, specifically seducing those who urgently needed money to borrow money at high interest rates. As long as the other party got involved, he would lose everything.

Just now, he saw the young man walking on the street in a bleak manner, looking like a child of an official family, so he posted it on, and the result...

Such a surprise made the middle-aged man wet his crotch.

A smell of urine came, Yuwen Wen was too lazy to pay attention, so he looked at Liu Boer who saluted him, and then looked at the convoy, and some of them were unreliable: Ha? Doesn’t it mean that the day has arrived?

When Yu Wen Wen was excited when he thought of reuniting with his wives, concubines and children, he really surprised him. The problem was...

I made an appointment with a group of middle-aged people tonight, and the old man was having a meeting!

......

At night, the meeting hall of the Tianguanfu Office was brightly lit and full. Prime Minister, Wang Yu and Wen Wen were convening a meeting of relevant personnel. The main officials of the Tianguanfu Office were all present, and each of them had a thick stack of information.

The curfew in Chang'an City has begun. It will be very troublesome for everyone to go home after the meeting. It shouldn't have been like this, but in order to seize the time to improve efficiency, Yuwen Wen had to do this.

The Zhou State now has a six-official system, with the Tianguanfu in charge of the court, the attendant, the guards, the national fiscal revenue and expenditure, the transfer of taxes and service, and the salaries of all officials. The main body of this meeting was about the fiscal revenue and expenditure.

For example, today's unification is the time to rest with the people. However, due to previous natural disasters and man-made disasters, the court reduced taxes in some areas, but the expenses are increasing day by day, which has caused an increasing financial burden.

For example, in the Three Wus, the imperial court reduced taxes for ten years, but there was no tax revenue in the past ten years, but the imperial court had to bear all expenses for the Three Wus.

For example, after years of war, many soldiers have promoted their titles through military merits. The salary of official positions and the food of the titles have already formed a huge expense.

Biru, last year, the Turks invaded a large-scale war, and the Longyou transformed into the battlefield, and many cities, passes and beacon towers were damaged, requiring a lot of money and food to repair. At the same time, we must strengthen preparations for war and do a good job in "preventing autumn".

Preventing autumn means preventing the Turks from going south to rob in autumn. This is not a matter of Longyou. Hedong and Youyan also need to defend against the border defense line, countless cities, beacon fortresses, passes, and countless border soldiers. They have to invest money and grain to strengthen everywhere, which is a huge expense.

With normal expenses, money and food are invested everywhere, and the financial pressure of the court is getting greater and greater.

What should I do?

Everyone's eyes were focused on the ruling prime minister, Wang Yuwen Wen.

Everyone is watching to see what new prime minister can do to solve this problem.

Yuwen Wen quickly conceived several plans.

One of the plans is to reduce expenses, that is, to save money. First, the various government agencies streamline personnel, lay off employees in large quantities, and save financial expenses.

Then, he took the lead in eating vegetarian food, and the same was true for the women in the mansion. He did not wear silk, silk, satin, and no longer needed incense and medicine, and did not think about heating. He took the lead in advocating frugality, and then donated money, materials, gold, silver and jewelry.

This calls on civil and military officials to save money, and calls on civil and military officials to donate money enthusiastically to subsidize national use.

This plan made Yuwen Wen think of Emperor Chongzhen later. This was too unlucky, so no one could talk about it.

The second plan is to impose various taxes, that is, to open up sources, exploit the people, and subsidize the country.

This plan made Yuwen Wen think of "Liaobao". As it was decided today, it was the time to give people a rest and rest. The increase in taxes was to exhaust the waters and even force officials to rebel...

The third plan is the favorite routine: issuing treasury bonds.

Once the routine was released, everything was in trouble. With the colorful "bonds", millions or even millions of coins were almost transformed out of thin air, without any effort.

But there is no way, because the credit of the court is not very good.

Even if Yuwen Wen, who has a good credit, was unable to make the court's credibility reach a "good" level in the short term. There are probably few people who are applying for the issuance of treasury bonds, and it will only make a joke at that time. Yuwen Wen's move to issue treasury bonds has been said to be a joke.

The reason is very simple. In just over three years, one emperor and two kings of Qi died. For many people, they don’t know when the ruling King Bin died again (Boom).

At that time, the new superiors will not recognize the government debt, or the fight will start again. What should the person who bought the government debt do?

Stability is also a kind of credibility, so issuing treasury bonds temporarily does not work.

Plan 4: The government will find white gloves to be a big dealer, and to hold a horse party means gambling horses. It is also a routine to develop legal gambling in the form of horse racing.

This routine is good, but the problem is that Yuwen Wen uses this method to solve the financial problem, which will only make public opinion think that he is shameless and incompetent. Moreover, the Jockey Club system will take time to mature and cannot be improved and developed within a few years. The income will not be too much at the beginning, and it will not be too late.

The few plans that Yuwen Wen thought of randomly didn't work, and the assistants of the prime minister were also trying to find a way, but after thinking about it, they could only "appropriately" increase taxes.

However, Yuwen Wen quickly came up with another plan. This plan was actually another plan. He planned it for a year in advance. He revised it and laid the groundwork. He discussed with relevant personnel of the Tianguanfu tonight and put it into implementation as soon as possible.
