"At the beginning of the minister's house, although he did not dare to speak out and did not understand government affairs, he was afraid that what he did would be contrary to His Majesty's holy will; I also hope that His Majesty will give you some advice: What should be the outline of the minister's appointment as a young man? ”

To fight for political treatment for the deceased master, Uncle Tian naturally has to do it, but as an old official from Huang Lao, Uncle Tian is also very clear: before making a request, he must do his job well.

Although Uncle Tian thinks that he has enough qualifications and fame, he has not yet reached the point where he is so trusted by Liu Hong that he is directly appointed as Shaofu - Shaofu, that is the emperor's money bag!

National fiscal revenue - taxes, taxes, taxes go into the treasury, and the endowment is to go into the Shaofu!

What's more, Shaofu not only has financial power, but also countless industries, workshops, and gardens, whether it is goods, food, or ordnance, Shaofu is involved.

Such a large department, which almost includes half of the imperial court, has no possibility of being handed over to a courtier who has 'only ability' - since the birth of the official position of 'Shaofu', the first requirement for the candidate of Shaofu is very clear: the emperor's absolute close confidant!

Uncle Tian also probably understood in his heart that Liu Hong's unconditional trust in himself mostly came from his political label: Xuanping Wuhou Menke; In this context, sitting in the position of Shaofu, Uncle Tian naturally has to work hard to move closer to the direction of 'worthy of Liu Hong's trust'.

What's more, Uncle Tian's move is also a normal political rule - for a new official position, it is understandable to communicate with his immediate superiors and ask for instructions and a policy program.

The most important thing is: Uncle Tian also faintly understood the meaning of Liu Hong's words - if you talk about the Han family, which departments have the closest relationship with 'finance', it is undoubtedly the treasury under the Prime Minister's Mansion, the granaries and tax warehouses in Guanzhong under the internal history, and the Shaofu.

And it's different from the first two; The Prime Minister's Office only has the Treasury and the Treasury Department; The internal history can only be counted as a storehouse for storing grain and a treasury for taxes; As for Shaofu, it can be said that every subordinate government is inseparable from finance.

The most important department of the Shaofu, the treasury, manages the 'fu' collected from the people of the world every year, and its amount accounts for about 40 percent of the state's fiscal revenue; today, the Han family's annual tax revenue of 300,000 yuan, of which nearly 120,000 yuan goes into the Shaofu treasury.

Although this income will also be used for the emperor's daily rewards for his courtiers, concubines, and relatives, as well as the amount of money in the palace, the eunuchs' maids and concubines in the province, and even the army's rewards, etc., most of it will still be left and slowly accumulated.

In addition to money, there are many other kinds of materials in the treasury of Shaofu - in other words, 'money' only accounts for a small half of the treasury of Shaofu, and the real majority is the rest of the materials.

Theoretically, as long as there are things that exist in heaven and earth and may be used by the emperor, the Shaofu treasury will have a considerable amount of inventory; Just like now, although the Shaofu treasury does not have much money, there is not much gold, and the grain is only more than 600,000 stones that Liu Hong 'took' back from the Anling Du clan some time ago, but in addition to these three things, the rest of the materials can be said to be everything.

Cloth, Shaofu can take out 10,000 horses with his eyes closed!

There are now no less than 100,000 slaves!

Long sword, easily take out tens of thousands!

Cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, Shaofu also raised a large group in Shanglinyuan!

As for bows and crossbows, Shaofu is even more likely to have more or less, and the number is rising by hundreds or thousands every day!

It can be said that as long as Liu Hong doesn't ask for copper coins, gold cakes, grain, and anything else, Shaofu can throw out a mountain with his eyes closed!

Corn, in fact, Shaofu was not short of it - in Shanglin Yuan, a lot of land was leased to the people to plant, and its rent tax was about 20% and 5, which will bring Shaofu an annual income of tens of thousands of stone corn.

As for the rest of the land, it was cultivated by the 'official slaves' under the Shaofu, that is, the slaves of the state, and the harvest of the land was completely attributed to the Shaofu, with no less than 500,000 stone per year!

It can be said that as long as there is time, Shaofu can save an incredible amount of wealth little by little by relying on those hundreds of hectares of official land.

Not to mention the east and west weaving rooms under the command of Shaofu, relying on those tens of thousands of female slaves to print money day and night - cloth, at this time, is a more reliable hard currency than copper coins!

The rich are rich, but the accounts of Shaofu are unsolved mysteries in the history of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years.

Almost no one can say exactly how much property Shaofu has - the material throughput of Shaofu every year or even every day is so huge that even if the officials of the entire Han family are dispatched, it is not enough to clarify.

And Liu Hong's 'financial map' made Uncle Tian smell some obvious signals: clarify the accounts and ensure the financial transparency of Shaofu!

Sure enough, Liu Hongdi replied, confirming Uncle Tian's guess.

"Qing Ren Shaofu, the first to bear the brunt, should use this 'financial plan' method to clarify the accounts of the Shaofu, and the treasury money, gold, grain, cloth, etc. What is the geometry of the field in the book? What is the geometry of the leased field of Shanglin Garden? ”

"Clarify the deposit of the treasury, and the accounts of the Shaofu in the future, the secretary will record them in the book with the method of financial plans, verify them every ten months, and submit the accounts and the view every thirty years."

For Shaofu, Liu Hong has very big expectations!

In the original history, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing directly halved the agricultural tax and cut the oral tax by two-thirds, but did not make the country poorer, but left a treasury with millions of dollars in money and tens of millions of stones in grain during the time of Emperor Wu!

Logically speaking, taxes have been drastically cut, and the state's fiscal revenues should have plummeted.

But Liu Hong knew very well: during the Jingdi Dynasty, the agricultural tax of thirty taxes and one yuan, as well as the oral tax of forty yuan per person, could bring 400,000 yuan of financial income to the Han family every year!

And Liu Hong now has an agricultural tax of 15 taxes and 1 yen, and his mouth is 120 yuan per person, but he can only get 300,000 yuan.

Through simple multiplication and division, it can be obtained: under the same number of people and acres, Emperor Jing can have 400,000 yuan of financial income every year, and Liu Hong should have 800,000 or even 900,000 yuan, right?

In fact, the key node that really allowed Emperor Jing to receive more financial revenue than Liu Hong at this time with such a low tax rate was precisely because of the existence of Shaofu.

Most people believe that the main credit belongs to Emperor Wen Liu Heng, and Emperor Jing only continued the political program of 'lightly taxing and resting with the people'.

The reason why Emperor Wen is called the main hero of the 'rule of Wenjing' is because the 'painful period' of tax reduction was completely swallowed by Emperor Wen alone.

Historically, Emperor Wen swept away the power of the princes, and immediately announced that the agricultural tax would be halved, and the oral tax would be reduced to one-third of the original, and in the second year, the financial income of the Han family was only 140,000 yuan!

The national treasury revenue is 90,000 yuan in agricultural taxes, and the revenue of the government is 40,000 yuan; Not to mention that the rats in the treasury were all starved to death, those rats were honored to be recorded in history!

At that time, the palace concubine skirts did not mop the floor, and the Queen Mother Bo did not hesitate to raise silkworms and weave cloth in person in order to be diligent and thrifty, which was used to make clothes.

Emperor Wen even used the emperor to personally farm in the palace, advocating the style of simplicity, and completely blocking the miserable courtiers and officials who were tortured by lowly and lowly people - I have gone to the field to farm, what do you want?

Relying on the poor days of not having more than three dishes and one soup for more than ten years, and not wearing brocade and mink fur, Emperor Wen led the entire ruling class to survive the painful period of tax cuts and ushered in a bumper harvest - the world's population increased by one-third, and the number of household registrations doubled!

In Emperor Wen's later years, when Emperor Jing, who was then the crown prince, supervised the state, the state's fiscal revenue returned to 300,000 yuan per Chinese New Year's Eve under the premise of 30 taxes and 40 yuan, and steadily increased by 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per year.

In the end, by the time Emperor Jing died, the financial income of the Han family had reached 600,000 yuan per year at this tax rate!

In this process, how did Emperor Wen Liu Heng ensure that the efficiency of the central administration did not decrease but increased, and the number of troops increased instead of decreasing, and newly established standing field troops such as Flying Fox, Bashang, and Thornmen, and made them have combat effectiveness?

The answer is: Shaofu.

Relying on the grain produced in the official fields of Shanglin Yuan, the rent and tax from renting the fields to the people, and the cloth sewn by the weaving room day and night, the Shaofu almost single-handedly supported the Han regime in the throes of tax cuts!

Even in history, when Emperor Jing pacified Wu Chu, the Shaofu, which was hollowed out by the war, regained more than three million yuan of treasury money after Emperor Wu ascended the throne!

When Emperor Wu was in power and planned to start the Han-Hun campaign, he arrogantly threw out enough money and food to supply 100,000 troops and fight outside the fortress for ten years!

The scariest thing is: this is Shaofu's inventory!

The treasury is not counted yet!

The income of the treasury and the Shaofu is 'divided into six or four'!

If these money and grain are from the state treasury, then Emperor Wu will kill the Empress Dowager Dou and the Queen Mother, and cultivate Yu Linwei, and discover Wei Huo, the two proud sons of the sky, the first thing he has to do is probably to fight with the court and pull out the military expenses from the treasury in the hands of the bureaucrats.

It is the existence of Shaofu that enables Emperor Wu to arrogantly leave the entire court, 'pay out of his own pocket' all the military funds, and brazenly launch a series of battles against the Xiongnu!

If the materials of the treasury are used as strategic reserves, then the court will naturally have a say in the war; But the existence of Shaofu gave Emperor Wu all the right to decide on the entire Han-Hun campaign, and the court didn't even have a chance to intervene - the emperor paid out of his own pocket and sent his own cronies to avenge his great-grandfather, what can the court say?

Even if it is said that there is no money, what can you say?

It's just a few words of "tyrant" and "single husband", which are not painful.

It is also the existence of Shaofu that allowed Emperor Wu to successfully set up the prime minister who was 'visionless' and 'did not support the just war' after achieving epic strategic results against the Xiongnu, set up a cabinet, and completely took the power into his own hands.

How can Liu Hong not attach importance to such a young mansion, and how can he not regard it as a forbidden body and a reverse scale?

Shaofu is not just a money bag, it is a cash cow at all!

For his own private cash cow, Liu Hong naturally needs to have 100% control; And Shaofu's chaotic accounts undoubtedly provide a hotbed for all parties to dig up the wall.

Some time ago, Chen Ping acquiesced in the punishment of the Lu Gongchen Group and went straight to Shaofu to carry materials, which is enough to explain the problem - how much loss that incident brought to Shaofu, Liu Hong still can't figure it out!

Therefore, Liu Hong not only has to hold the money bag of Shaofu tightly in his hand, but also turns it out from time to time to see if the money in it is not counted, and whether it is 'reproducing' at a normal rate.

And the biggest problem in solving the chaos of Shaofu's accounts - the statistical workload has been solved by the 'statistical table' that Liu Hong took out, and Uncle Tian can definitely handle the rest.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong sat up confidently, waiting for Uncle Tian to send this 'political achievement' to the door - clarifying the accounts of Shaofu, the significance of which is almost no less than Xiao He's sorting out Shiqu Pavilion!

Under Liu Hong's encouraging gaze, Uncle Tian thought for a long time, and then bowed down slightly and bowed: "As a minister, you should solve the king's worries; Your Majesty will tell you what you have to do, and the minister will live up to her mission! ”

As soon as Liu Hong showed a hint of a smile, he heard Uncle Tian bow again solemnly: "The minister has another matter, I want to play Your Majesty!" ”

"Xuanping Wuhou..."

！！！

- This goods, I also want to mention Zhang Ao's matter!!

Under Liu Hong's horrified gaze, Uncle Tian leaned over and bowed: "Xuanping Wuhou is deceased, the prince is the heir, and the heir is extinct; The second son, Zhang Yan, was also deposed by the prime minister and the lieutenant. ”

"Ran Xuanping Wuhou, is the ancestor of His Majesty, and my Han family governs the country with filial piety..."

Raising his head slightly, seeing that Liu Hong's eyebrows were faintly angry, Uncle Tian hurriedly spit out the unfinished words.

"The minister foolishly thinks that he is reasonable, and he should also be the heir of Xuanping Wuhou to respect filial piety; Xuanping Wuhou, when you enjoy blood and food offerings in Yin Cao Jiuquan, you will not wander in the mountains and wilderness..."

"Minister's will, reinstate the Marquis of Wu's attack on the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping, in order to show the courtesy of the Han family to treat the heroes!

Call~

After the words 'resealing Xuanping Hou' came out of Uncle Tian's mouth, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - good guy, let the men be terrified for a few days, just for this?

"Since Qing thinks it is good, it is convenient for Shuo to look at the court, and submit this matter to the court for discussion."

Well, Liu Hong wants to give Grandfather Wan's family incense, which is also not within the scope of the discussion of the people's cooking.
