Xiao Fei continued to be full of energy, chattering endlessly: "The Great Song Dynasty is still a rich dynasty, and it can even be said to be a rich dynasty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe wealth of the Great Song Dynasty was twice as rich as the world average, reaching the peak of feudal society. The famous historian Chen Yinke once said, "The culture of the Chinese nation has evolved over thousands of years, and it was created in the Zhao and Song dynasties." ’”

Those big Song children were at a loss, who is this person? This little fly said faster and faster, it can really be said that he blurted out, and the exit is a chapter, but it is also full of loopholes, and the people in our modern society are pulled out to help, but, where do these children know the characters after a thousand years, but fortunately they are still young, but it doesn't matter, because these children with a strong desire for knowledge are immediately attracted by his chatter, if they are studied by adults with ulterior motives, it is estimated that we all have to be regarded as wizards, witches to throw into the raging fire, and obtain eternal life in that fire.

Xiao Fei then gushed: "The population of the Song Dynasty has reached 20 million households, more than 100 million people, 720 million mu of arable land, 60% of the world's GDP, and a per capita GDP of 2,280 US dollars. According to Xining's ten-year treasury revenue of 70.7 million guanwen, the treasury revenue at that time was about 34.024 billion RMB. The annual fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty reached a maximum of 160 million guanwen, which is estimated to be unattainable by future generations, which is quite amazing. In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, the average year could reach 80 million to 90 million guanwen, what kind of concept is this? In the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, the state earned 2.5 million taels of silver. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the Ming government successively increased the collection of liao salary, expropriation of salary, and training salary, and how much income did this practice of drinking and quenching thirst bring to the state? About 10 million taels a year. If the general exchange rate is 1 tael of silver = 1 copper coin, then the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty at this time is only less than 1/10 of that of the Northern Song Dynasty. The financial situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was better than that of the Ming Dynasty, but the country was initially decided, and the income of Shunzhi in 7 years was only 14.85 million taels. During the Xianfeng years, the annual income was only 30 million to 40 million taels. It is still an undoubted fact that the number is still far smaller than that of the Song Dynasty, and that the income of the Song Dynasty is much greater than that of any other feudal dynasty. “

"What kind of Ming Dynasty and Manchu Qing Dynasty are this, why haven't you heard of it? Could it be that I am lonely and unheard?" A child was afraid of interrupting Xiaofei's words, so he had to ask the person next to him in a whisper.

"That's not it, I've never heard of the names of these strange dynasties, oops, I guess it's some unknown small countries, they existed in the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and now they have long been wiped out, no one knows, but, this Xiaofei brother's knowledge is really complete, these small countries that perished many years ago know, let's not whisper, let's listen to Brother Xiaofei's wonderful speech. The child next to him said disapprerovingly.

"The commerce of the Song Dynasty carried forward the past and forged ahead into the future, highly developed, and it is estimated that it will have a huge impact on people thousands of years later, and may be able to find the source or prototype in our Great Song Dynasty, such as our commercial street, chain stores, 24-hour stores, etc. Specifically, such as Panlou South Street (Eagle Falcon Street), Chatang Lane (Tea Fang Street), Mahang North Street (Medicine Street), Hele Lou (Horse Market) and so on. Panlou East Street, a clothing street, is open as usual regardless of day, and it is called a ghost market in the Song Dynasty. And the famous snack bars in the capital such as Wanjia steamed bread shop, Dingjia vegetarian tea shop, Li Sijia North food shop, Jinjia South food shop, Zhengjia oil cake shop, Haizhou Zhangjia Hu cake shop, etc. are chain stores, this management model is also very advanced, and the form of advertising also appeared and developed in the Great Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo in order to promote his Dongpo meat to play a public service advertisement - clean washing bell, less water, firewood can not smoke, when he is ripe, do not urge him, when the fire is enough, he is beautiful. Huangzhou good pork, the price is as cheap as dirt, the noble refuse to eat, the poor do not understand how to cook, get up in the morning to play two bowls, full of their own monarch should not be in charge. In order to help Granny Liu, who sells fritters, she advertised - the two ends are stretched in the middle, and the fat body is tender and yellow. If you want to eat crispy, you will never get tired of it, and the fragrance will be wafting between thousands of households. Dandi fritters are a must, thank you Liu Po for sending Jia Xi. ”

Xiao Fei spoke humorously and interestingly, and the children below were happy to hear it, and the two children who had just whispered happily said: "Yes, if Xiao Fei's brother said this, the business model of our ordinary store will have such a profound impact on future generations, I am really proud and proud that I am a Great Song person." ”

Xiao Fei continued: "Then you probably want to ask? Where did the Song Dynasty's financial revenue come from when it was so huge, and did it increase the burden on the broad masses of the people, levy harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and obtain them by exorbitant and forcible means? The answer is no. In the 10th year of Xining, the total tax revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty was 70.7 million guan, of which the two taxes on agriculture were 21.62 million guan, accounting for 30%, and the industrial and commercial tax was 49.11 million guan, accounting for 70%. This figure shows that the main body of the national fiscal revenue of the Great Song Dynasty is no longer agriculture, but industry and commerce. Agrarian societies are already beginning to quietly move towards industrial societies. Therefore, from this point of view, the huge financial income obtained by our Song Dynasty was not due to the aggravation of the exploitation of the peasants, but to the rapid development of the national economy, the extreme prosperity of industry and commerce, and the increase in the level of productivity. ”

These children have an indifferent sense of economics and have never been exposed to such a long list of complex numbers, so Xiao Fei said that it is imperative to popularize advanced mathematics for them, so he had to open his eyes wide, as if he did not understand, but he had a blank expression, only I was still listening with relish, as if I had returned to the classroom.

"As a traditionally agrarian country, the direct imposition of agricultural taxes on large numbers of cultivators has always been the basis of the rule of various states throughout the ages, but there is no such situation as the Song Dynasty. On the one hand, it does not inhibit annexation, so that land can be intensively managed, and a large amount of surplus labor is freed up, on the other hand, it has successfully developed industry and commerce, not only absorbing a large number of rural labor force, but also promoting the rapid improvement of social economy and productivity. This can't help but remind people of the phenomenon of sheep eating people in the early days of the British Industrial Revolution, how similar the direction of social and economic development is, the difference is that the scale of the Song Dynasty is many times larger than that of Britain, the time is hundreds of years earlier than Britain, and the suffering is much less than Britain. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the Renaissance of the East. ”

Xiao Fei was spitting and saliva, just like his talent, but his mouth was dry, and after drinking half a bottle of water, he continued with interest: "The economy of the Great Song Dynasty was talked about above, so in the face of such a powerful economy, what is the social welfare of the Great Song Dynasty? There is no doubt that the Great Song Dynasty is a guaranteed and high-welfare society. Because the achievements of the Song Dynasty in social relief, especially in the relief of the poor and the disadvantaged in society, surpassed the previous generations in terms of quantity and quality. ”

"Needless to say, the welfare housing of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the amount of food left by Guanghui Cang for the elderly, sick and poor, not to mention the establishment of various poor relief institutions to meet the needs of different relief groups of representatives of the nursing home, Anjifang and Drain Zeyuan - widows and lonely, the poor in ancient times, the living raised, the sick with medicine, the dead are buried, and the benefits are also generous. Today, we are going to talk about one of the most important and expensive benefits, which can be stunned and unimaginable – this is conscription, which is a contingency against sudden natural disasters or wars. Because of its strong economic strength, the Song Dynasty was the only dynasty in Chinese history that adhered to the conscription system for a long time, and the treatment of soldiers was not bad, so much so that the recruitment of soldiers, which became the fuse of class contradictions in other dynasties, became the release of class contradictions in the Song Dynasty. Whenever it was difficult for the people to survive, the Great Song Dynasty government recruited a large number of soldiers there, 'for every one recruited, the court had one more soldier, and the mountains and fields had one less thief', which was also an important reason why there were fewer peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty. However, by the time of Qingli, the total number of Song troops had reached 1.25 million, which was really called redundant soldiers. Considering that the population is around 100 million at best, this is an eye-popping astronomical number. Moreover, these 1.25 million people are all mercenaries, so military spending has repeatedly created miracles. During the reign of Renzong Bao, Shaanxi alone spent 20 million yuan in peacetime and 33 million yuan in wartime! The huge military expenditure and other expenditures made the financial expenditure of the Song Dynasty unique in Chinese history, but we must see that this kind of expenditure was not all military expenditure, in fact, it can be said that this method belongs to the nature of transfer payment or social security to a large extent, and it is even no exaggeration to say that the Great Song Dynasty was the first country in the world to adopt Keynesian macroeconomic regulation and control methods. ”

I also secretly thought to myself: "Good girl, this Great Song is really rich enough, and it is really a good welfare to raise so many soldiers." And the Great Song Dynasty is so peaceful and less warlike, those who served as soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty are really happy. But he thought about it again: "This is also where the Great Song Dynasty is weak and the soldiers are weak." There is Song Shiyun: 'When my parents gave birth to me, they taught me to learn how to cultivate mulberry; I don't know the strictness of the government, and I can do things safely! I can't untie the thorn with a gun, and I can't shoot with a bow; what to do to unite with me, it will be useless to work in vain." It can be seen that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are civilized, industrious, kind, and peace-loving. Because everyone has food and drink, and lives a heavenly happy and petty bourgeois life, the more rich they are afraid of death, the happier they are, the more they love life, once the country has a war, who is willing to throw away their blood and die on the battlefield? Therefore, there are gains and losses, and the enlightened policy enabled the people of the Song Dynasty to be free from the suffering of the three major disasters of war, military service, and harsh taxes for a long time, and to make the people of the Song Dynasty live a prosperous, strong and comfortable life for a long time. If it is said that Qin died in harsh government, Han died in war, Sui died in military service, and Tang died in secession. Then Song died in comfort. This is truly born of sorrow, death and peace. ”
