Section 515 The money of the Great Song Dynasty went

Also said.

What is there to say about that.

Chen Fuliang shook his head: "What can I say, no matter how much I say, it's useless, I said that if it is useful, I will not give you Brother Jiang to be the prefect of Quanzhou." What I can do is to make Quanzhou as good as possible, and let's talk about other places. Hundreds of years have come over like this, and it's not bad for a few years, a few decades. ”

Chen Fuliang really didn't want to say it.

Because he served in the Sancai Division, although it was short, he was exposed to some insiders.

The treasury expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty was divided into six major parts, and the military expenditure ranked first according to the expenditure, and the second was the annual coin.

If Han Jiang asked, wasn't it only 300,000 guan before the year's coin, and it was added to 1 million guan.

Chen Fuliang knows that there are so many on the surface, but in fact there are more than that.

After that, there were three million taels of silver for the Jin Guolao army every year. This money was deducted from the Song army's bounty.

Then, the third and fourth are the expenditure of officials and the expenditure of the royal family.

This is followed by expenditures such as water conservancy, roads, and finally other expenditures.

Taken together, these six pieces are the annual financial expenditures of the Great Song Dynasty.

The amount of money spent is terrible.

Chen Fuliang knew that in the Zhenzong era, all the officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not exceed 10,000. And at the moment, there are 50,000 officials.

The number of officials is more than ten times that of officials, and the expenses of retinues and horses for officials at all levels must also be counted.

This is not counting, there is no official position, only a large number of people who are fictitious.

Royal spending is also horrific.

At the time of Renzong, there were only more than 200 people in the palace, plus less than 300 eunuchs. During the reign of Huizong, the number of palace maids alone exceeded 10,000.

Later, Gaozong rebuilt the Song Dynasty, and because of the Battle of Jingkang, there was no one in the palace.

In the end, there were no more than 500 palace maids in the Gaozong dynasty.

But now, there are more than 4,000 people.

In the palace, the daily consumption of silk alone is as high as 1,002 horses.

Is that much?

Not much.

It is said that the emperor's imperial mausoleum in Shaoxing, the holy decree has a clear text, and it is necessary to be frugal.

As a result, he spent 3.5 million taels of money, 5 million horses of silk, and 1.5 million taels of silver, which was very frugal.

There is also a huge payout.

According to the law of the Song Dynasty, the emperor worships once every three years, and this money is often counted in the military expenditure, which is more than 10 million yuan, which is not only the money for mobilizing the army, but also the reward for the clan.

Therefore, there are only three real expenditures of the Great Song Dynasty every year.

Military spending, royalty, royalty.

The royal family accounts for one-third of the annual finances, and the royal family accounts for a quarter.

What is the annual income of tens of thousands of yuan, seventy to eighty percent of the military expenses, all of which are defrauded of the ordinary people.

While talking, the two entered Chen Fuliang's study.

Chen Fuliang took down three small wooden boxes from the bookshelf and put them on the table: "The imperial court has an urgent report, asking Fujian Road to prepare 50,000 pieces of cloth and 300,000 quintals of grain and grass, and the imperial court will send troops to attack Wancheng." ”

This is an official court document, Han Jiang didn't read it, he just needs to know the content.

Chen Fuliang opened the second box: "Because more than seventy percent of these materials have to be transported from Quanzhou Wharf to the north, so the family is afraid that I will interfere with it, so they arranged for a reliable person to send a secret letter, the letter I have burned, only the empty box is still there." ”

The box in front of Han Jiang was empty.

Chen Fuliang said: "This pillow wind is very powerful, this trick is really a hundred tried, Shi Miyuan's eldest lady said that the official family sent troops, the chief soldier of the army is Yang Cishan, and the supervising army is Su Shidan." ”

Hearing Yang Dafa's name, Han Jiang was stunned.

Chen Fuliang knew some and guessed some, Chen Fuliang said: "Su Shidan is estimated to die, really dead." That kid from the Meng family will also die, fake his death. Su Shidan should be an explanation from your father to the five generals, half of the main force of this expedition came from the Jiankang army, but there was no general in the Jiankang army. ”

Han Jiang nodded, he had probably guessed it.

Chen Fuliang continued: "I also know that Ge Xianggong has made great contributions to the court this time, as a second-rank official who knows the Jiankang Mansion, and can transfer 10,000 main forces of the Jiankang Army out, the court is very satisfied, thinking that he has divided and weakened the strength of the Jiankang Army. ”

Han Jiang asked: "Su Shidan, why is it an explanation from my father to the five generals." ”

Chen Fuliang only replied to this question: "Because he is not worthy of being with us, there are some things that cannot be said to be put down and turned back, and the past can not be mentioned, this account always has to be calculated." ”

Han Jiang probably understood, that is to say, Su Shidan's character and official style, these people not only look down on it, but also hate it.

Chen Fuliang pushed the third box in front of Han Jiang: "This is the list I carefully screened, some are my students, some are talented people who have not been promoted, some of these people are still in their hometowns, most of them are scholars from Lianghu and Liangjiang, don't call them for the time being, they are studying in the Qian family's school, and it will be half a year." ”

Person.

The biggest gap right now is not money, but people.

Chen Fuliang poured Han Jiang a cup of tea and asked, "Brother Jiang, I heard that you are going to participate in the grinding survey early next year." ”

"Yes."

Chen Fuliang asked, "Do you know how to grind?" ”

"No, it won't." Han Jiang was telling the truth, he didn't know what the official assessment of the Great Song Dynasty was all about.

Chen Fuliang asked again: "So, will you give exam questions?" ”

Questions.

Hehe.

Han Jiang suddenly smiled.

Seeing Han Jiang's smile, Chen Fuliang couldn't help but shudder.

"Out of the question, I will."

Chen Fuliang pointed to himself: "Test me." ”

"Really?"

"Yes."

Han Jiangxin said, Mr. Chen Fuliang, you are looking for abuse, don't blame me.

Han Jiang's first three questions are the difficulty of nightmares.

Through the former national examination, there is a professional-level examination question on the financial expenditure budget, a master's level examination question in the financial auditing category, and an economic and financial examination question, which is based on the last money shortage in Quanzhou.

Chen Fuliang is a scholar.

He loves knowledge and he loves to teach it.

Of course, I also like to challenge difficult ones.

He served as an official for one year in the Three Finance Divisions of the Great Song Dynasty, which were the Three Divisions of Salt and Iron, Du Branch, and Hudu.

These three questions are for one state only.

A quarter of an hour has passed, the tea in Han Jiang's cup is as light as water, and Chen Fuliang is still scratching his hair for the first question.

This question is also too winding.

Traps everywhere, pitfalls everywhere.

Is this a question that a normal person answers?

Two quarters of an hour later, Chen Fuliang confessed: "Brother Jiang'er, change the question, ask about government affairs, I have some experience in government affairs recently." ”

"Okay." Han Jiang immediately followed with a hellish problem.

Under the pressure of the per capita tax, an eight-year-old child can earn a small amount of money a year, but he can also help the family do a lot of things. And the above requirements for education popularization rate, this eight-year-old child must go to school, how to resolve such a contradiction? ”

Chen Fuliang almost flipped the table.

It's a question of whether an eight-year-old should go to work or study.

This question is related to people's livelihood, taxation, economy, education, the development direction of a state, major policies, etc., and the relationship between a set of systems.
