Qin Feng deliberately showed his face, and Geng Jingming cooperated very much to argue for himself with a bitter face. After a few rounds, both of them looked at each other and laughed.

The Ming Dynasty treasury finally had a surplus, even if it was only one tael of silver, which was a great event for the overall finance of the Ming Dynasty. This means that the Ming Dynasty could freely dispose of more wealth in the next fiscal year. Next year will be another year for the Ming Dynasty to spend money like flowing water. With sufficient economic protection, Qin Feng will have no worries.

Qin Feng was quite satisfied with Geng Jingming, the Minister of Revenue.

"You are my money-making boy." Qin Feng patted Geng Jingming's shoulder with a smile. "How about it? Is it much more exciting to be a business book in the Ming Dynasty than to be a businessman?"

Geng Jingming coughed, "Your Majesty, this is nothing comparable. In the past, I was determined to be the most successful businessman in history. I felt that I had been half successful, but later I was brought to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue by His Majesty, so I wanted to be the most powerful Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in history."

"Well, this is a good ambition, then I think you have almost succeeded now." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"But I still think it's more challenging to be a businessman." Geng Jingming suddenly changed his mind, "Being the Minister of Revenue, I have too many resources. For me, it's too easy to make money. Unlike when I was a businessman, I worked hard and sometimes I couldn't eat or sleep, but at that time, it was really painful and happy! Whenever I completed a business that seemed impossible to complete, the pleasure was hard to describe in words."

Qin Feng looked at Geng Jingming in surprise: "I can't tell that my Minister of Revenue is actually a masochist?"

"Your Majesty!" Geng Jingming glared, "This is not masochism, this is the pleasure after challenging the impossible."

"Okay, I will find an impossible task in the future, so that you can enjoy it well." Qin Feng laughed, "So now, Shangshu Geng has thought of any tricks to make money? For us next year, wealth will be better. You also know that Chu State is a mess now. After we take Chu State, we need a lot of money to fill it in to help Chu State restore its economy and people's livelihood. Of course, this is a little easier than building up the economy in the West."

"Your Majesty, when talking about the method of making money, when the Minister of Justice Tang went to me to discuss some budgets for the Ministry of Justice next year, I told me a case. This case made our Minister of the Great Minister of Tang scratch his head and didn't know how to make a judgment!"

"I ask you how to make money. What did you do when you touch the Ministry of Justice? Tang Shangshu's head was filled with laws and regulations, and he could no longer stuff anything else." Qin Feng smiled and said, "If you have no idea, just say it, don't change the topic."

"It's really not, Your Majesty, do you know the details of this case?"

"What kind of case makes you care so much?"

"Shangshu Tang wanted to order him a fraud, but it was inconsistent with the fraud rules, which made Shangshu Tang very distressed. You also know that he was such a scheming person."

"A case that makes him feel distressed, then this person who committed the crime is really a talent. Tell me, what kind of fraud case can make Shangshu Tang troubled and interested Shangshu Geng?" Qin Feng also became interested in it all at once.

"It's simple to say. This guy who committed the crime is named Ruan Fu. In fact, his family is well-off and is considered a well-off family. However, he is not satisfied with the status quo, so he thought of a way to make quick money." Geng Jingming said.

"Make quick money?"

"He entrusted the Yinfang of our Ming Empire Bank to print a large number of cards with different secret words for him. You may not know that these Yinfangs are actually used for private businesses. They have good skills and excellent products, so they are very popular."

"You're talking about the topic again." Qin Feng knocked on the table, "and said about the fraudster."

"He printed 10,000 copies of the first batch, and spent 100 taels of silver." Geng Jingming smiled and said, "Then he sold the 10,000 cards at the price of one tael of silver."

"Why should others buy it?" Qin Feng Daqi.

"Because he claimed that after all of them were sold, he would draw. Each of these cards was divided into main and secondary scrolls, but the patterns on both sides were exactly the same, the main scroll was in the hands of the buyer and the secondary scroll was in the hands of the seller." Geng Mingming smiled and said, "He divided the prize into several grades, and the highest one was one thousand taels of silver."

"Naked temptation!" Qin Feng nodded and said, "In this way, there will always be someone who will spend a tael of silver to win the prize of this thousand tael of silver. This is the same as gambling in a casino. Most of the people in our Yuejing are very rich now. One tael of silver can also be used by the most ordinary people."

"Yes, with this move, he earned 2,000 taels with a capital of 100 taels." Geng Mingming said: "The first time he tried his best, he was very successful and became more courageous. The second time, his scale suddenly increased. There were a total of one million such prize cards, and the highest reward became 100,000 taels. Although there was only one hundred thousand taels, he still made great contributions in Yuejing City. However, this also attracted the attention of the Criminal Criminal Department."

"How much money did he make this time?" Qin Feng's attention was in another direction.

"Three hundred thousand taels!" Geng Jingming smiled, "I made 300 thousand taels in a few days. I, the businessman who claims to be the most successful, feel ashamed of myself. Shangshu Tang arrested him and wanted to convict him of fraud. As a result, this person did act according to the rules of the game he set in advance, and these rules were informed to those who bought the prize card in advance. More importantly, the bonus he promised was actually fulfilled. So Old Tang was sitting on wax, always thinking that this guy was cheating money, and he couldn't find the corresponding rules to deal with his crime."

Qin Feng looked at Geng Qingming with his eyes flashing and smiled and said, "You are interested in this person, do you want to bring him to your place to do this business?"

"Your Majesty knows my heart." Geng Jingming slapped his thigh: "Your Majesty, this is a profitable business. Your Majesty just said that our casino in Yuejing City is very good, but our dignified imperial court's Ministry of Revenue cannot do such a thing, but there is no problem selling prize cards. Think about it, how much power is Ruan Fu, and he can make so much money in a short period of time. If the court does this, it can be spread throughout the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Then tell me, how much money does this have to be made? Moreover, this method is different from gambling. It can be completely used as a game, and everyone will only be happy. But this method was thought of by others. The court wanted to make this method and make money by itself. It always felt shameless, which would make other merchants in our Ming Dynasty have some ideas! This would be a big loss because of a small loss."

"I seem to have something to say?" Qin Feng asked.

"The merchants in Yuejing City have a lot of remarks about Lao Tang's actions. Several industries have joined forces to find Wang Yueyao, believing that Ruan Fu has not committed any crime. Director Wang also officially issued a document to ask Shangshu Tang about this matter, which puts more pressure on Shangshu Tang!"

Qin Feng smiled, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were very different from those in the past. In the past, the Ministry of Justice was the Hall of Yama and the Gate of Ghost. Now they can join forces to put pressure on the Ministry of Justice. It is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"This is simple!" Qin Feng said: "In fact, there is no need for Old Tang to come forward and let Old Tang acquit him first."

"If you are acquitted, this guy will have the capital to do this matter more and more. The bigger he does, the more influential he will be. It will be harder for us to intervene. If you look too ugly, it will make people sick and detrimental to the court. I am now thinking about how to make this guy willingly join me."

Qin Feng looked at Geng Jingming with a smile. This Minister of Revenue was born as a great businessman. He took a very different perspective from ordinary court officials when considering things.

"Tax Department." Qin Feng spit out three words. "Didn't the merchants say that this guy is doing a legitimate business? OK, can he pay taxes? It shouldn't be. According to my Ming Dynasty laws, those who evade taxes can also fine three to five times the illegal income in addition to confiscating illegal income."

Geng Jingming gasped and woke up as if he was enlightened. "Yes, why didn't I think of this idea? Ha, I know what to do."

He said happily: "Then Ruan Fu must not be able to pay the fine, three to five times, that's millions of taels of silver. At this time, I can come forward and keep it so that he will be grateful to me. Then our Ming Dynasty business can open up rightfully and leave those merchants with nothing to say."

Qin Feng smiled and said nothing.

"But Your Majesty, after this matter was completed, I still wanted to return the money he had earned before, which could be regarded as our court who bought him the exclusive right to make money business. After getting the money, this kid became a serious official in the court. I think he would be satisfied. In this way, there would be no trouble in this matter." Geng Mingming said.

"You can do this matter as you please." Qin Feng smiled.

"Your Majesty, this matter has been completed. I estimate that at least tens of millions of taels or even more wealth can be brought to the court every year. This is a real profit, faster than any business, and there is no risk. There are strange people among the people. Now, in the capital, the methods of businessmen doing business are varied. A few days ago, I went to the street and opened my eyes very much." Geng Jingming was a little excited and a little disappointed.

"It seems that if I have time, I should go out and have a walk." Qin Fengdao." Go and see the new vision of our Ming Dynasty."
