Chapter 1,217 There are also minerals
After Ying Feiyu proposed to build a nursing home and an orphanage, he gave the ministers some time to discuss.
If you agree, there will naturally be disagreement.
In addition to the few people from the Censorate, several ministers stood up one after another!
"Your Majesty, the agricultural tax was just exempted a few months ago. If nursing homes and orphanages are built on a large scale, the tax will probably not be enough to support it!"
"Yes! Why not start step by step, build orphanages in major counties and adopt those homeless children! You will build nursing homes in a few years to give those elderly and widows some support!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it..."
There were more than a dozen people who opposed it.
Standing in the middle of the hall with his head bowed!
"That's right! That's exactly what it means! Now the tax is only industrial and commercial, so how can it support such a large amount of expenses?"
Seeing that someone stood up to object, Ning Xingwang seemed to be more confident and said with his chin raised.
"Who says taxes are only industrial and commercial? Does customs have no income?"
No one said anything about other ministers with objections. After all, the court is the place where politics is discussed, and it is impossible for everything to follow His Majesty's thoughts.
But these old trolls can't do it.
As long as you say something, someone will definitely retort!
“Uh…hai…customs?”
Ning Xingwang was speechless immediately.
Customs was a department that was established after opening up overseas business, and he had long forgotten it.
"That's right! Do you think my customs department is a good meal? Those merchants who come and take items back from the customs must go through the customs and pay a portion of the tax! With the development of overseas business, my Daqin's annual tariffs are available.
It can also be collected a lot! It is enough to support nursing homes and orphanages!"
Zhang Han shook his stomach and was very proud.
Nowadays, the land overseas belongs to Daqin. As long as there are conditions, the people of Daqin can land on the island at will and earn wealth!
Just pay a portion of the tax according to the estimated value of the items brought back when you return!
"The customs taxes are indeed a lot, but I, Daqin, also need to build bridges and roads, and the cost it consumes every year is also huge!"
Seeing that Ning Xingwang was blocked and couldn't speak, Ding Cheng stood up and asked.
"Yes, yes! Opening a nursing home and an orphanage can indeed win over the hearts of the people, but if the court's income decreases in the future, it will be difficult to remove it again. It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people!"
Ning Xingwang nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, the court's income will not decrease..."
This time, I kept sitting upright and watching Ying Feiyu, who expressed his opinions from the ministers, laughed jokingly, "Even if the industrial and commercial taxes decrease in the future, the tariffs will decrease, and there are mineral resources! There are many inland Qin alone,
Not to mention overseas! There are countless gold, silver, copper, iron, and stone paint ore. Develop one of them will be enough to support nursing homes and orphanages!”
"Yes! Why did we forget this?"
"No! Look at my head!"
"Not to mention gold, silver, copper and iron ore! Even a stone paint mine is enough to support an orphanage!"
"Of course! In the future, more and more internal combustion engines will be available, and the consumption of stone paint will definitely increase and increase!"
"Haha! With minerals to support it, there will definitely be no problem in building nursing homes and orphanages!"
“Yes, yes…!”
After Ying Feiyu's reminder, the ministers who had opposed it suddenly realized that their originally entangled facial features gradually stretched out and they all stood back to their original positions.
In this way, only a few people from the Censorate were left in the hall.
Ning Xingwang looked back and forth at the ministers who returned to his post, trying to stop him, but it was inconvenient to speak, so he could only sigh in his heart!
"Your Majesty, even if the money problem is solved, what should we do if there are loopholes in the people...?"
At this moment, Ding Cheng confidently reported, "Your Majesty will definitely not charge any fees for building nursing homes and orphanages! If the people send their parents to nursing homes for free and eat and drink, and send their children to orphanages.
Will let the orphanage raise their children and grow up to add a great burden to the court?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Xingwang's eyes lit up and he secretly gave him a thumbs up, "Censor Ding is right. In this case, wouldn't half of the people be raised by the court? Even if there are a few more seats
There are not enough mines!"
"Don't let your mother go..."
Before the smug smile on his face disappeared, Kang Anping's insult came, "Your family was sent to an orphanage after giving birth? Your father has raised you for 18 or 19 years. If you say you send to a nursing home, you don't care.
Leave it? Not a selfish person, I really can't think of this way!"
"You are right! If you really do that, don't you let your neighbors stab your backbone?"
"That's it! The people's customs in our Great Qin are too bad! During the locust plague in Xianyang, the imperial court opened warehouses and released grain, and no one went to collect grain, afraid of jokes from the neighbors! How could someone send his parents to the nursing home in a casual manner!
”
"That's right! Nursing homes and orphans can indeed provide shelter for the elderly and orphans from wind and rain, so that they can eat and wear and wear! Even so, it's not good at home!"
"Whose children don't feel sorry for them? Can they be sent to orphanages to raise them? Are you willing to send all your grandchildren...?"
After Kang Anping, Wang Ben and others also spoke one after another, scolding the old trolls in the Censorate, making them speechless.
They also expect their grandson to become successful, get into the official career, and go to the court! How could they be sent to an orphanage?
"Look at it? You don't want to do it either. How do you know that the people will send their elderly and children to nursing homes?"
Seeing that they all lowered their heads and kept their mouths flat, Wang Ben and others knew the answer.
"Besides, are you all fools as county officials in various places? Do they not know who has an elderly or a widow and an abandoned child? You can't take anyone in the orphanage, right? You have to be sure.
The situation is OK!"
Zhang Han looked up and down at several old censors like he was looking at a fool.
Ning Xingwang and others were uncomfortable when they were seen, and stood awkwardly in the middle of the hall!
Seeing that the time was almost done, Ying Feiyu smiled secretly and said with a tense face: "What are the concerns of the censors?"
"Uh...no more!"
The censors shook their heads helplessly with a look of condemnation.
"Where are the other dear friends?"
His eyes glanced at the officials, and no one said a word.
After confirming that there was no objection, Ying Feiyu announced, "That's the matter! The orphanage and nursing home are undertaken by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue!"
"I will receive the order!"
"I will receive the order!"
"Your Majesty's wiseness..."
After Meng Tian and Zhang Han surrendered, all the officials answered and praised him.
Taking this opportunity, the Censorate secretly sneaked back to their positions!
Chapter completed!
