or more than ten years, with countless informants under his command. Even in some secret places, his intelligence capabilities surpassed those of the Dongchang.The Dongchang (Secret Police) can hide Z...Chapter 566: Your servant agrees.

Although Dantai Jingzhi felt it was inappropriate in his heart, since he had brought it up, and Wang Tenghuan scolded people so mercilessly, Dantai Jingzhi would inevitably have to fight back.

"Master Wang."

Dàntái Jìng turned his head and looked at Wáng Tènghuàn with a blank expression, saying: "There's an old saying that there are three kinds of thieves who betray the country: one is a thief who deceives people and steals the world; two is a traitor who betrays his country; and three is a demon who causes chaos. Between you and me, Wang, to which category does the old man belong"

This question, tracing the origins of treachery to the very roots of the nation's stability, left Wang Tenghuan speechless with astonishment.

He stammered for a long time, but couldn't say a word.

Dàntái Jìng said coldly: "The old man's proposal is made considering the actual difficulties of the imperial court. Once implemented properly, the wealth of the world will converge into the hands of the imperial court. It can be used for both people's livelihood and national defense. How could this be considered treasonous Please instruct me, Wang大人!"

Wang Tenghuan was speechless when asked by Dantai Jingzhi. In his rage, he quickly came up with a plan and said: "Even if we open a money house, it's to allow the people to deposit their money. That money doesn't belong to the imperial court; the imperial court even has to pay interest on it. How could this possibly improve anything"

Dantai Jing's eyes were cold, and he rebuked, "Foolish."

"Lord Wang, if you are unaware of the hardships faced by the common people, I suggest you go and experience them firsthand. How many families in this world can afford to give up all their wealth on a whim"

Unless a major event occurred, wealth was always accumulated day by day, or used only in emergencies. In normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible to take out all the family fortune.

"If one household stores ten taels of silver, then ten thousand households would have ten thousand taels. The imperial court could only keep a maximum of fifty thousand taels and a minimum of twenty to thirty thousand taels to meet the needs of the people withdrawing their silver. As for the rest of the money, could it be circulated"

It's just interest payments. The court still has taxes and can use them for subsidies, while banks can lend money and make more money. Where could there be a shortage of interest

Wang Tenghuan's mouth twitched, unable to utter a word.

Dantai Jing's aura is simply too powerful.

But what truly devastated Wang Teng was Zhao Xuanji's next words.

After Dantai Jing finished speaking, Zhao Xuanji stepped forward and bowed, saying: "I agree."

Three short words, representing the attitude of the cabinet.

Despite Wang Tenghuan's earlier opposition, his stance did not make the cabinet appear divided. Instead, it made him seem like a clown jumping around.

Even your own boss agrees, what are you making a fuss about

Wang Tenghuan widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Zhao Xuanji.

He suddenly realized that Zhao Xuanji might have already reached some kind of understanding with the Eastern Palace, and he, himself, was left out.

He gasped for breath, his eyes flitting between the troubled look on Dantai Jing's face and Li Chen's knowing expression above. A shiver ran down his spine.

To be honest, Minister Zhao Xuanji nodded in agreement. Besides, this was something Li Chen wanted to do anyway, so there was no way it wouldn't go through.

In the Taihe Hall, silence descended.

Even a fool can see the current situation.

Even Zhao Xuanji nodded, what else could these small fry say

Seeing this, Li Chen said faintly, "Xu Changqing."

Xu Changqing immediately stepped forward and bowed to accept the order.

"I decree you begin preparations immediately. This matter is to be the first priority of the Ministry of Revenue's new year, and I expect a feasible plan as soon as possible."

Xu Changqing respectfully said: "Your servant obeys your command."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ed, saying: "My nephew has always been the magistrate of Zhan Shifu. He has some news from the East Palace. It is said that recently, His Highness has sent several official letters. All the official l...
