Chapter 1374 Financial Operations

"The fall of Liang's relatives is because he stood on the other side of most people. Therefore, it was not the Great Song Dynasty that overthrew them, but they themselves overthrew themselves. ”

"In the next class, we will talk about 'Zheng Boke Duan', which has a sentence that Zheng Bo said, 'If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself'."

"The imperial court does not think that Su You is incompetent, and gives the important task of three-way transshipment, and Su You will also be responsible for the most people in the three roads, and lead the most people to create happiness."

"The Great Song Dynasty is not here to conquer, Su You is not here to suppress, we are here for the civilization of the Three Roads, and for the happiness of the people of the Three Roads."

"Today's first class is to share with you some of my experiences in reading "Spring and Autumn"."

""Spring and Autumn" is my scripture and my teacher, Tang Yantong, who is known as 'Mr. Lu Guo' in the Great Song Dynasty."

"These things are not my own thinking, but I have been taught, and after I came out of Shu, I was taught by Ouyang Bachelor, An Shi Xianggong, Sima Bachelor, and Mr. Hengqu, and I learned from each other and enlightened each other, and I gained some harvest in the exchange of ideas."

"Hexi Toast, the right surname of Xizhou, has created his own glory."

"It was possible in the past, and it is possible now."

"I also hope that everyone will not be complacent, you must know that there is no end to learning, and in the future, we will go out of Hexi, continue to explore on the road of civilization, and bring civilization and benevolence to more people."

"This is my first class, thank you."

Among the students, there are also children of families with profound knowledge, and there are also ignorant beginners, but there is no objection to the profundity of Su You's knowledge.

In a class, there is a huge amount of history, astronomy, geography, and philosophy, and I can't help but cheer together.

A scholar who can tell such a large topic in the first seventeen words of the first sentence of "Spring and Autumn", Su You's thorough study of righteousness is no less than Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

After a class, the students felt unfinished and were reluctant to leave, so they came to ask for advice.

The most excited is Lee Sun-ju.

Su You's knowledge can't be seen at all in daily government exchanges, and after listening to a class today, I realized to what extent the figures who can be valued by the top intellectuals of the Great Song Dynasty are rich in learning.

It's breathtaking.

Su You is young, and he doesn't respect his identity, and he is even a little naughty and lazy, but he respects his predecessors very much, so in Li Shunju's heart, he has always been a naughty child.

Perhaps, a very capable naughty child.

But today, this naughty kid suddenly had a showdown, saying that I was actually still a top student, which surprised Li Shunju inexplicably.

This kind of mood is almost the same as the child in the family who knows that he is greedy for food and play every day and can't study hard, and suddenly comes over and tells you that he was specially recruited by Tsinghua University and Peking University.

After thinking about it, Li Shunju couldn't help laughing again, Su Mingrun is a Tanhualang of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is young and famous, when is he not a scholar?

It's just that he is humble and polite on weekdays, and he doesn't raise the cliff bank, so he ignores it!

After dealing with the enthusiastic students, and humbly accepting the compliments of the teachers and officials, Su You returned to the cotton mill and met Zhang Qi, Shen Kuo, Wang Hou, Li Yong, and the newcomer Chao Buzhi in the bathhouse.

Su You likes to take a bath, and he also likes to pull others to take a bath.

What everyone needs to discuss is how to write this annual report.

Ningxia has made remarkable achievements in expanding households, and now there is a population base of 3.5 million under Su You's hands.

After frenzied hoarding, there is now a large amount of gold, silver, coal and iron in the treasury of the transshipment department.

And this season's cotton cloth began to be produced, as well as a large quantity in Hexi - livestock.

In the past, the Xia Kingdom did not sell cattle and horses to the Great Song Dynasty, but now the trade route is open, and the cattle and horses that have been bred for a year are driven to Xijing, which is money.

Therefore, this annual report is a bit difficult to write, and if the results are too outstanding, it will attract criticism from the imperial court.

After all, it is a newly acquired land, and it is a traditional poor place, which is somewhat different from the South China Sea, so it is not too arrogant.

Shen Kuo is the Ningxia Road Transit Envoy, but before Chao Buzhi arrived, he was acting as the Transit Department of the Three Roads.

After thinking about it, Shen Kuo said: "It stands to reason that the imperial court has exempted the three roads from agricultural taxes for ten years, and this year the three roads have absorbed 100,000 Xiang troops from Bianjing, 150,000 Xiang troops disbanded from Shaanxi Fourth Road, 30,000 households from Shuzhong, and 300,000 local people from attached prefectures and counties, so you can cry and cry poor with the imperial court." ”

"In addition to appeasing the population of the former Xia Guozhou County, it also increased the burden of 600,000 people, even if the land does not need money, one person will have to pay five guan for settling in, which is three million guan here."

"In addition, the Lanzhou Iron Works, the Arsenal, the Explosives Factory, the Suzhou Oilfield, the Iron Works, the Machinery Factory, the Woolen Mill, the Baotu Iron Factory, the gold, silver and copper mines in Tongcheng, the Mint, the Ammunition Factory, and the Xingzhou Textile Factory, each of which cost hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan."

"That's 10 million."

"In addition, there are canals, road repairs, city construction and other labor, the five states of the Silk Road, one million is not too much, right? It's five million. ”

"The rest of the bits and pieces, such as table salt, three acids and two alkalis, cement factories or something, are counted as five million yuan, isn't it too much?"

"This year's three-way investment is counted as 23 million yuan, which is about the same."

Su You pouted: "If I report it like this, I should ask for guilt again." Why did you use so much money from the imperial court? ”

Shen Kuo was a little strange: "These are all earned by Guogong?" ”

Su You patiently explained: "Even if I earn it, it is what I earn for the court, for Your Majesty, not for myself." You must understand this verse. ”

"Therefore, flowers return to flowers, earn to earn, two things, understand?"

Shen Kuo was still strange: "How can you earn without spending?" ”

Su You rolled his eyes: "The question is that did you report it when you spent it?" The reason why I didn't report it at that time was that I was afraid of scaring the imperial court, so let's talk about how to reduce this cost now, and not to be too shocking. ”

Shen Kuo thought for a while: "Then move the reconstruction of the city of Wuzhou to next year, and don't report it this year?" ”

Su You thought for a while: "Well, that's five million guan." OK. ”

Zhang Qi said: "There are still 18 million guan. ”

Su Hui said: "In this 18 million guan, we can count it as 300,000 cattle, 150,000 horses, and 50,000 camels. ”

"These are encouraged by the imperial court, and there are about two million guan here, which are counted as assets and can be allocated from expenses."

Su You nodded: "Yes, yes, yes...... That's a good idea! That can also be counted as mills, windmills, these are easy to sell, and they can also be allocated to assets. ”

Shen Kuo said: "Then there are fifteen million left." ”

Su You thought for a while: "What else can you do in the short term?" ”

Su Hui racked his brains: "This ...... In addition to cattle and sheep, windmills, mills, then ...... And land? ”

Su You waved his hand again and again: "The land is not good, this is a big taboo, and the land on Hexi Third Road is not easy to sell now." ”

Zhang Qi said: "Then there is only gold and silver left." ”

Shen Kuo still doesn't understand what a few people are discussing: "Guogong, I have a question......

"What's the problem?"

"What I want to ask is, how did you get out of the two million you spent in the previous year?"

"Uh...... Hehehehehe, you asked the key...... Su You felt extremely embarrassed: "I blame me for this matter, I accidentally took too big a step." ”

"What do you mean?"

Su Hui said: "Let me explain this, before Song Liao made peace, the clan prince used the Great Song Dynasty to transport five million yuan from Ningxia to block Xiao Xi's mouth, Yun Shuai knows about this, right?" ”

Shen Kuo nodded: "I know." ”

Su Hui said: "These five million guan are actually the output of the copper city gold and silver mine for half a year. ”

"Then Guogong issued 10 million guan treasure banknotes based on the output of 5 million guan of gold and silver."

"So much?!"

"It's not over yet, the 10 million treasure banknotes are actually only 5 million yuan in circulation on the market, which is enough to support the financial circulation of the three roads this year."

"The remaining 5 million guan was used by Guogong to invest in salt mines, iron works, and cement factories."

"After the salt mine and iron factory began to produce, Guogong used it as collateral and loaned 10 million yuan from the Huangsong Bank."

"Cao Shuai also knows the scale and efficiency of these industries, so the Huangsong Bank is very happy to lend."

"This 10 million guan will affect the operation of the Huang Song Bank, so the Huang Song Bank entrusted the Ningxia branch to issue 10 million guan of treasure banknotes with gold and silver mines as collateral."

"After getting this 10 million position, Guogong used it to invest in other industries, and in the second half of the year, many industries began to have output."

"Generally speaking, it is the 15 million yuan invested in the early stage, plus the reinvestment of the income from commerce, mining, and oil, which is the origin of these 23 million yuan."

Shen Kuo was dumbfounded: "That...... That...... That Guogong owes the Emperor Song Bank...... A full 10 million? ”
