Chapter 140
"As for the issue of public opposition that Your Majesty is worried about, I have a solution. As long as state-owned enterprises are profitable, they can quickly equal the taxes paid by the people. Therefore, Your Majesty can use the excuse of alleviating the burden on the people to open state-owned enterprises! In this way, by simply reducing some of the people's taxes, you can gain greater benefits. Your Majesty can also gain a good reputation and be loved by the people!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
Every word and sentence struck deep into Emperor Liang’s heart; these were what Emperor Liang cared about most!
Ah!
Emperor Liang looked at Qin Yu in shock. It was hard to believe that these were the thoughts of Qin Yu!
He just thought that the court could make a lot of money by doing business, but Qin Yu could think that if the court made a lot of money, it could reduce the taxes of the people!
This shows that Qin Yu has the potential to be a benevolent monarch!
Emperor Liang couldn't help but feel more satisfied with Qin Yu!
"Your proposal is very good, but it's not something that can be done overnight. It requires consultation with all officials..."
Emperor Liang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Qin Yu saw this and immediately said, "Father! I have also considered this point, which is why I asked for your permission to open a blacksmith shop as a pilot project!"
"Once officials see the benefits of state-owned enterprises and that they can actually make money for the court, they will definitely support them!"
Qin Yu took the opportunity to bring up the matter of opening a blacksmith shop. This time, Emperor Liang was completely confused and said in a deep voice, "Alright! I will issue an order now, allowing you to open a blacksmith shop and refine steel for the court!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
"However, I still want to know. For every kilogram of steel you sell, you lose 30% of the cost. Why do you do such a loss-making business? I don't believe you are simply trying to contribute to the court."
Emperor Liang looked at Qin Yu and said in a deep voice.
Although he was confused about opening a blacksmith shop, as a king, he still had a keen insight!
Qin Yu could think of such a lucrative business as baby stickers, and everything he did would be of great benefit to him, so it would be impossible for him to lose money by opening a blacksmith shop!
Forehead......
Qin Yu didn't know how to answer for a moment. Emperor Liang was indeed not easy to deal with!
He pondered for a moment and said, "Father! Opening a blacksmith shop is indeed a loss-making business, but it can earn me a good reputation. With the support of the soldiers in the army, who would dare to cause trouble for me if I go out to earn money?"
Ah!
Qin Yu himself felt that his reason was ridiculous. Would a prince of a country worry about others causing trouble when doing business?
But after hearing this, Emperor Liang was very shocked. He didn't expect Qin Yu to be so thoughtful!
You know, human hearts are the most unpredictable!
Qin Yu's baby post earned more than 10 million taels of silver, and Shangguan Xiong has always wanted to cheat Qin Yu of it. If Qin Yu earns more silver in the future, all the officials in the court will be jealous!
If these people join hands and want to turn Qin Yu's business into a state-owned enterprise, it will be difficult for Qin Yu to compete with them!
But if they get the support of the soldiers, the officials in the court will have to restrain themselves no matter how jealous they are!
Thinking of this, Emperor Liang looked at Qin Yu with a deeper gaze and nodded secretly. This kid was becoming more and more impressive to him!
