Chapter 665 Class

50,000 acres of land, the reed sedge and sedge sheep beach that used to be 150 yuan a mu has become the best fertile land for drought and flood protection in a blink of an eye!

This kind of land, just a few dozen miles north of Bianjing City, has no shortage of water all year round, and the value should be two and a half acres!

When Su You gave a lecture to Zhao Xu, Zhao Xuan ignored Su You's stopping, and took the initiative to ask for a pen to calculate it, and after calculating it, no, no, I must have miscalculated.

Counted twice, three 11750000000 were placed on the paper.

Then Zhao Ji was angry and slapped the table suddenly, Su Mingrun, you cheated me 10 million!

Su You picked up the paper and looked at it, and put it back respectfully: "Your Majesty, you miscalculated." ”

Zhao Ji was even more angry, this time I broke the pencils, I can bear it after 10 million times, I finally calculated that it was all right, dare to say that I was wrong, this can't be endured!

Su You arched his hand: "Your Majesty, you don't need to pay for such a big work?" All kinds of machinery, no need to pay money? Zhengzhou cement factory, iron factory, some are still the industry, can the senior envoy lend me on credit? ”

"10,000 people's husbands, one husband and eight months a month, this is nearly 400,000 yuan."

"After that, I promised to give four acres of land to my husband, which is another 100,000 yuan."

"Iron reinforced cement prefabricated piles, this is 500,000 guan."

"Sandwich embankments, canals, here is 300,000."

"Rent mules and horses to pull fat mud from the Bianhe River, 3,000 mules and horses, two months, 500 yuan a day, and the money for mules and horses is 100,000 yuan."

"In the future, we will have to maintain the embankment, clean up the waterways, and maintain the waterwheels, all of which will cost money."

"This is not counting the cost of the waterwheel, although there is a four-way construction, hydraulic mechanical processing of wood, fast speed, low cost, but a waterwheel, that is also the cost of thousands of times."

"Now 50,000 hectares of land have only been silted up to a few thousand hectares, so this is not a one-shot deal, but a continuous, long-term system project."

Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down: "Even so, this is a great thing. ”

Su You said: "In fact, the purpose of this project, in addition to developing cultivated land, is more of another benefit, to support the people. ”

"The Zhengzhou factory, 500,000 miles, has 30% of the taxes of the imperial court; With the stimulation of the fields, the people's lives, and the use of large machinery such as gantry cranes and giant pulley components, the project will be completed so quickly; The horses of the armor guards made them a lot of money, and everyone was more active in raising horses; The flood control standards of Caocunsi have been improved, and Bianjing City will not be afraid of ordinary floods in the future, which is the real benefit. ”

Zhao Ji nodded: "I kind of understand your point of view on finance, no wonder Zeng Bu is so active, it turns out that in addition to the benefits of the land, there are so many benefits." ”

Su You nodded: "Yes, and this benefit is scattered to the people, both up and down, not like Emperor Yang of Sui digging a canal, exhausting the people's strength, and finally leading to the collapse of the country." ”

"The advantage of finance is that the country can concentrate on big things, so this time the minister dared to borrow one million yuan from the Huangsong Bank, with an annual interest rate of one percent and five percent, and in a blink of an eye, there was a deficit of 150,000 yuan in interest."

Zhao Ji was a little heartbroken: "Give so much for no reason?" ”

Su You laughed angrily: "Your Majesty, you are the largest shareholder of Huangsong Bank, and if the bank is not profitable, it will not be able to do it." ”

Zhao Ji asked: "Then these new lands have all returned to the Imperial Song Bank?" ”

Su You said: "Of course not, these new lands are just a mortgage of Kaifeng Mansion, and they are a guarantee to be able to repay the principal." ”

"The Kaifeng government will eventually sell the land to landless households, fourth- and fifth-class households, encourage them to diversify, and then use the money to repay the loan."

Zhao Ji was a little dizzy again: "The fourth and fifth class households of landless households, don't you say that you should be poor and miserable?" Where do they get the money? ”

Su You said with a smile: "This is Your Majesty's benevolence, the wages of the river embankment project are more generous than the compulsory service, and after a season of the project, the Lifu will have savings, in addition to the four acres of land rewarded by the imperial court, you can also spend money to buy a few acres, but these fields, Kaifeng Mansion will strictly review the qualifications of the buyer." Upper class households are not eligible to buy, and after Lifu buys it, he is not allowed to trade for ten years. ”

"In this way, a landless household can become a homesteader with ten acres of land in one season, and the more yeoman farmers there are, the fewer tenant farmers there are."

"The fewer tenant farmers, the higher the labor cost of the annexation house, and the momentum of the merger is bound to be suppressed."

"When the big families are forced to buy machinery, and cattle and horses replace manpower, Your Majesty, we will win this battle."

Zhao Ji was a little confused: "What do you mean?" ”

Su You said: "At that time, it will be the real prosperity of the people and the strength of the country." ”

Zhao Ji shook his head: "No, if the Western Xia and Liao States are not destroyed, they will not be truly rich and strong." ”

Su You said with a smile: "Your Majesty, at that time, the eradication of Western Xia and the Liao State will no longer be Your Majesty's ambition alone, nor will it be the running and drumming of a few elites, but the whole country, Shinong Industry and Commerce, require you to strive for more interests, resources and security for the people." ”

"This day, now it seems, may come sooner than the minister estimated."

After speaking, he took out the gold-plated handcuff that Zhao Ji gave him before he was in his schoolbag: "I just entered the palace, and the guards let me in like this, the palace ban system should be rectified." ”

Zhao Ji put away the handcuffs: "You haven't returned it, I haven't been embarrassed to mention ......"

After speaking, he took out another handcuff with intricately carved decorations from under the desk: "Hey, hey, hey...... But I asked Uncle Guo to build another one for me. ”

Throwing the new gun to him for fun, Zhao Ji said: "You don't have to worry about the palace ban system. I will naturally give the dignity that a pure minister should give. ”

After speaking, he sighed: "If the ministers are as good as you, the stubbornness of the prince will sometimes make me unable to get off the stage, but I can get along with him?" ”

Su You said: "Your Majesty, haven't you noticed that Wang Xianggong is somewhat similar to you?" ”

Zhao Ji's head shook so much that he didn't admit it: "I'm not as stubborn as him." ”

Su You said: "Your Majesty, you and Xianggong, as well as Sima Bachelor, Fu Xianggong, Wen Xianggong, and even Zhang Gong and Zhao Gong, are actually the same kind of people. ”

"It is a person who does not care about personal gains and losses, takes the world as his own responsibility, moves forward firmly for the goal, and never turns back."

"You can be grieved, you can act righteously, you can't argue, you can't move privately."

"Above, for the Holy Lord; In the next, it is called Zhengchen. ”

"The so-called differences of opinion are just because everyone has different perspectives, and the arguments they hold are not sufficiently solid, leaving too many loopholes for each other's attacks."

"What the minister did was to look for evidence one by one according to the arguments held by everyone, seek truth from it, and then find a way to fill these loopholes."

"There is a cloud in the Analects: 'Zi Jue Four: No intention, no necessity, no fixation, no self.' I think it's the case. This is also the outline of the practice of science. ”

Zhao Ji nodded: "Mingrun's knowledge is becoming more and more mellow, and it can be said that he is striving for excellence." ”

Su You bowed: "Your Majesty praised it, this is not something I can think of alone, it is the result of my correspondence with university scholars, joint discussion and argumentation, and I have benefited a lot from teachings." ”

……

In May, Zhang Dian wrote in Hubei, and appeased two places, and the barbarian head Xiang Yongyu and Shu Guangyin surrendered with their land.

In the same month, Su You played, and after verification, Kaifeng had the phenomenon of planting mulberry as a capital and promoting ordinary households, and asked Zhao Ji for guilt.

Zhao Ji ordered: "Nongsang, the foundation of food and clothing, should be persuaded to the people." However, those who dare not support themselves are making an appointment for the state and county to raise their households. There is an old prohibition, which can be stated. ”

The letter reformulated the regulations, not to use the mulberry forest as a standard for raising households, etc., and the new law was issued to all roads, and the inspection was carried out in February every year, and those who planted enough were rewarded, and those who did not reach seven points were punished.

In June, in view of the shortage of money in Jingxi, Huainan, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Jinghu, the three divisions asked each of the six roads to place a money prison, and each minted 150,000 to 100,000 yuan.

Gao Shilin promptly presented a stamping and minting machine, and asked to change the money supervision to a bank, the treasure banknotes were uniformly printed in Beijing, and the silver ships were distributed quickly, and the copper coins could be allowed to be die-minted locally.

Zhao Zongge and Zhao Hao presented the method of the Imperial Song Dynasty Bank's calculation, requiring that the amount of money should not be distributed indiscriminately, and that the scale of banknotes issued in Jingxi, Huainan, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Jinghu should be seriously determined.

Something went wrong – the new coins were very popular because of their clarity and finesse, and the new folk coins, which were equivalent to bronze objects of the same weight, and the same solid coins, were more expensive than the old hollow coins.

This problem surprised everyone, and the first batch of new coins issued quickly disappeared from the market and were collected by the people!
