Chapter 2688: Fiscal deficit (part 2)

"Is there any news from the people who were sent to Zhongzhou to receive the Tiandi Sect? What is the situation there?"
Chen Fan turned his gaze to Zhongzhou, after all, that was the only place where he could unscrupulously grabbed it.
But Jia Boqian did not have an optimistic attitude.
"People haven't arrived yet, but they must be coming soon, but in my opinion, the situation there may not be optimistic."
"His Majesty has left these years, and the Tiandijiao has made a lot of money. Although they have collected countless spiritual stones, they always need materials and ordnance to support the war. Therefore, the minister does not think Zhongzhou will hide how many spiritual stones reserves."
What Jia Boqian said was true. Everything was as expected by Chen Fan. This war directly caused all the internal liquidity of the country to enter the pockets of merchants.
They are afraid that they have already made a lot of money.
Even if there are a few people who are rich and enemies, Chen Fan is not surprised at this moment.
So, how should this crisis be resolved?
"Your Majesty, the minister has two strategies, please make your decision."
"Let's talk." Chen Fan nodded and motioned to Chen Yixin beside him to listen carefully.
I saw Jia Boqian talk eloquently: "The first point is that we might as well expropriate and levy military service from the civilians or the military and exploit the veins. In this way, the crisis can be solved."
"As for the second point..." Jia Boqian showed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth: "These profiteer business committees have become more arrogant recently. Why don't we gather all these people together and make a one size fits all!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes. When he said this, Jia Boqian didn't have any burden in his heart. He seemed to have forgotten that he was also a profiteer.
In fact, the two solutions he mentioned are indeed feasible, but in Chen Fan's view, they are not so good.
First of all, it is absolutely impossible to transfer manpower from the people and the army to mine.
Historically, mining has not been a job that good people are willing to do. At this time, if Chen Fan was forced to levy and be a stunner, what did he do with so many tax-free policies before?
As for the second point, fighting local tyrants and fighting landlords is actually much more comfortable.
After all, this group of people who made war fortune would kill as soon as they were killed. How much burden could they have?
But that's not the case. Although these profiteers made war fortune, they did not break the law after all, and Da Chen did not have any law that stated that they could not sell equipment and supplies to the Tiandijiao.
No matter when and where, there are loopholes in the law. After all, this is something that needs to exhaust the wisdom of countless generations of people and continue to improve.
So if everybody who takes advantage of the law is killed every time, who else will do business in the future?
If businessmen become high-risk occupations, who will help to operate the country's financial system?
Of course, Chen Fan said that he didn't want to fight the landlords, but he had no qualifications.
After all, when he first secured the throne, the first move he took was actually fighting the landlord.
It was only at that time that Chen Fan offered the salt and iron business as an exchange of benefits, which ensured the stability of the situation.
Now Chen Fan has nothing to exchange.
Therefore, rushing towards these local tyrants and profiteers is afraid that things will eventually turn into unforeseen disasters.
But are these profiteers really unable to manage? Chen Fan's world, Chen Fan's country, let this group of people live like a fish in water?
Chen Fan couldn't swallow anything in this tone.
Therefore, he immediately made the decision that it is impossible to kill in the first place, but after a lesson, it is possible to kill the chicken and the monkey.
Also let this group of people who are collaborating with the enemy and traitor under the banner of doing business know how powerful it is.
Otherwise, let Chen Fan be a soft persimmon, wouldn't anyone be able to bully?
"The current situation of domestic reconstruction cannot be delayed. This matter cannot be stopped, nor can the development of the army be stopped. This is the top priority."
"The sea animal camp was less affected by this impact. I will immediately send them to the Meteor Sea to hunt whalers and fill the treasury at once."
"but……"
Chen Fan nodded and interrupted Jia Boqian's indulgence: "I know that this is not enough, so I want you to come to Chen Jing in the name of the Ministry of Households, anxious for the world's wealthy businessmen to come to Chen Jing, so I will personally invite them to dinner and discuss Da Chen's future financial development. direction."
"Remember, the edict must reflect my goodwill, and solemnly remind that all those who come to the banquet will not face any threat to their lives, and I personally guarantee them!"
"Then what if someone doesn't come?"
Jia Boqian grasped the key to the matter.
For this kind of person who doesn't know good or bad, Chen Fan won't be used to it.
He said in a cold voice: "If you don't even accept my kindness, it's useless to keep it. Just find a cause and confiscate your family!"
