Chapter 640 Temporary options of the system!

"Everyone, the court is now recruiting new troops, and food and grass are in short supply. Military pay is also a huge expense. Do you have any solution?"

"Minister Lin, Lord Shen, you guys talk first!"

Ning Fan directly threw the question to Lin Qiushi. Shen Li bowed slightly: "Your Highness, some time ago, the roads around my capital were renovated with work-for-relief, but the national treasury was depleted by more than half."

"I have no idea!"

"I have no idea either!"

Lin Qiushi showed a sneer on his face and said calmly: "Besides, my Shangshu Province I have no decision-making power. This matter needs the help of my colleagues in the Secretariat."

"Good!"

"In that case, I have an idea."

Ning Fan slowly stood up, looked around, and then fell on Lin Qiushi: "This matter needs you, Prime Minister Lin, to implement it!"

"I'd like to hear your opinion!"

"Issuing national debt!"

"National debt?"

Except for Shen Li and others who had discussed it in advance, Lin Qiushi and other ministers were all confused. After Ning Fan explained the national debt, Chen Qinghe said excitedly: "Your Highness is wise, I I admire you!"

"Yes, this national debt method can indeed ease the financial pressure of Dayu!"

"Your Highness is brilliant!"

Actors such as Shen Li, Zhuge Liang, Shang Yang, etc. all stood up to second the proposal. Even Lin Qiushi, a political enemy, had to admire: "Your Highness is brilliant, but this method can only solve the problem temporarily. It is ultimately a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul!"

"It is only a temporary solution!"

"When the national debt expires, what should we do if the treasury still has no money and food?"

"This king has a plan for this matter!"

"This is about issuing national debts. Let Lin Xiang handle it. Within one month, at least five million taels of silver must be raised!"

"Yes..."

The Ministry of Revenue's problem was solved. Ning Fan looked at the Sixth Prince Ning Xun who was hiding in the corner and kept silent: "There is one more thing. This king wants to discuss with you adults!"

"Some time ago, the Sixth Brother led his army to defeat the 70,000 cavalry of Su Gaiwen, the deputy commander of Mobei. This king is going to confer him the title of Prince. Do you have any objections?"

"This..."

This time, even Shen Li was stunned. Ning Xun was struck by lightning when he heard the words, and he screamed in his heart!

Confer him the title of Prince?

Isn't this pushing him into the fire pit?

I have been developing quietly and living well in my own little piece of land. Why did the second brother push me out?

Could it be that he discovered his power and wanted to win me over in the fight for the throne?

"Your Highness!"

"There is no child's play in the court!"

"Su Gaiwen's 70,000 cavalry are all fierce and powerful. The Sixth Prince is just a vassal of Xun'an. How can he destroy 70,000 troops?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Seeing that all the ministers were speaking out against his will, Ning Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Fan smiled slightly: "You don't trust me, but you can trust the Jinyiwei?"

"Can I still deceive the ministers?"

"Sixth brother, come out and tell me, was Su Gaiwen's army destroyed by your people?"

"You must not deceive the ministers, otherwise my brother will send the Jinyiwei to investigate."

Ning Xun was pushed forward, with a sad face, unable to speak for a long time, and the whole person was submissive and silent for a long time. In the eyes of the ministers, this was clearly a fear of King Yong!

"My brother... it was... my people who killed him!"

"Did you hear that?"

Ning Fan looked at the ministers, and they all rolled their eyes. It was obvious that the Sixth Prince was threatened!

The Minister of Justice Cai Ji stepped forward slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, since you said it was done by the Sixth Prince, let's just give this achievement to the Sixth Prince. However, the title of Prince is a big deal and needs to be discussed by the clan elders of the clan house."

"Let's put this matter on hold for now!"

"Lord Cai makes sense!"

"Yes, it should be put on hold for now!"

The ministers agreed one after another. Ning Fan smiled and looked at Ning Xun with a playful look: "Okay, then I'll do as you say and put it on hold for now. However, there is one thing that cannot be put on hold!"

"What is it?"

"Reconstruct the capital!"

"This king plans to expand Yuwang City and build four national highways in all directions with Yuwang City as the center."

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, it caused an uproar in the court. Even Shen Li didn't know about this matter. It was obviously a sudden idea. Lin Qiushi finally found a reason to criticize: "Your Highness, now that the military pay and food have not been collected, where will the money in the treasury come from to expand the city?"

"Yes!"

"How much manpower and material resources are needed to build four roads?"

"Please think twice, Your Highness!"

Shen Li also looked at Ning Fan and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, do you have a specific plan?"

"Yes!"

"Let's talk about the expansion of Yuwang City first!"

"Yuwang City is the capital of my Great Yu, and it is also the economic and political center of my Great Yu. Now the population of the city is only more than 400,000, which is too small!"

"Moreover, the facilities in Yuwang City are not sound and the planning is not perfect!"

"As for building roads, the four borders in my Great Yu are not stable. If four highways can be built in the territory, it will take two and a half days from Yuwang City to the northern border!"

"Where is the money?"

Chen Qinghe looked at Ning Fan with a bitter face and some resentment: "Your Highness, building four national roads will cost at least millions of taels and mobilize hundreds of thousands of laborers!"

"Money?"

"National debt?"

"Didn't I say it just now?"

"Let Prime Minister Lin issue 5 million national debts and collect them in one month?"

"Five million is not enough to build the road?"

When Ning Fan finished speaking, Lin Qiushi was speechless, Chen Qinghe was relieved, and Shen Li was silent, as if it was none of his business.

However, if the road can really be built, it will benefit the country and the people!

"Do you have anything else to discuss?"

"Let's adjourn!"

After slipping out of the palace, Ning Fan directly opened the system. As soon as he got the system's prompt, he finally gathered a thousand summoning points and could summon Chinese heroes again.

"Brother Tongzi, can't I use the mysterious clues yet?"

"The master has insufficient authority!"

"Okay, use a thousand summoning points to summon a peerless general for me!"

"Summoning, please wait!"

Ning Fan was riding on a tall horse, but a figure gradually flashed in his eyes. He held a silver spear and rode a white horse. He broke into the army of 10,000 people alone, went in and out seven times, and no one was his enemy!

"It's him!"

With just one glance, Ning Fan knew who was coming!

Shijiazhuang Zhao Zilong!

"Dong, trigger temporary options, option one: consume 5,000 points of luck to strengthen the summoned character, randomly enhance intelligence by 1~3 points!"

"Option two, consume 10,000 points of luck to strengthen the summoned character, randomly enhance force by 1~5 points!"

"Option three, consume 100,000 points of luck to strengthen the summoned character, enhance force by 3 points, and command by 3 points!"

"Please make a choice within ten seconds, master!"
