Chapter 119: The Source of Life

Song Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture Ouchi

"Shenzong created the law and established the system, the first emperor inherited it, the two were changed, and the national plan has not yet been determined. I want to inherit my father's and brother's legacy, what advice do you have? In the Song Palace, Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty said to Cai Jing, the new Shangshu Zuocheng.

At this time, Han Zhongyan, the left minister of the Song Dynasty, had been dismissed as prime minister, moved to know the military affairs of the Daimyo Mansion, and finally degraded again and again, and was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Cizhou regiment.

And the right prime minister Zeng Bu is also in danger at this time.

"The minister is the liver and brain, and it is difficult to repay His Majesty's holy grace, and the minister is willing to go to the soup to relieve His Majesty's worries." Cai Jing fell to the ground with his whole body on the ground when he heard this, kowtowed to thank him, and expressed his willingness to serve death.

At this time, a line of clear tears flowed out of Cai Jing's eyes and slid down his cheeks.

Cai Jing covets the position of ruling and the prime minister, it is no longer a day or two, he has long been looking forward to it, and he has long been salivating.

At this time, Cai Jing is Song Shangshu Zuocheng, who is already among the ruling ministers, and he is regarded as the deputy prime minister, and the position of the prime minister is also close at hand, which can be said to be at his fingertips, so why is Cai Jing not excited? Why don't you burst into tears with excitement?

The most important thing is that at this time, Zhao Ji asked Cai Jing for advice, which shows Zhao Ji's trust in Cai Jing.

"Qing family, please get up!" Zhao Ji smiled and said to Cai Jing: "I am asking you for advice? You must also know the current situation in the imperial court, so if you have any clever plans, let's talk about it quickly. ”

"Your Majesty!" Cai Jing kowtowed his head again when he heard this, and then replied: "At present, the situation of my holy dynasty, when the thunder changes, if you slowly recuperate, in fact, it will become more and more difficult to return, and more and more evil, and finally you will not be able to resist Liao and Xirong outside, and you will not be able to protect the people and the country internally, and as for the chaos and even the fall, it is not known." ”

The Qing family continued. Zhao Ji nodded.

This is the consistent remark of the Yuanfeng Reform School, it is not surprising, Zhao Ji said secretly in his heart.

"Wealth is the source of life!" Cai Jing heard the words and then said: "The husband who accumulates is also the great life of the world. If you have more money and more money, why can't you do it? Therefore, Weichen thinks that the key at this time is the word 'wealth'. ”

"What you said is true! What can Qing do to quickly reverse the current situation in the imperial court, just through the channel. Zhao Ji said in admiration when he heard this.

Zhao Ji's revenge on Cai Jing is for this matter in the final analysis, the current Great Song Dynasty treasury is empty, Zhao Ji is about to go crazy, and Cai Jing's words at this time just touched Zhao Ji's heart.

Zhao Ji almost said, how much money did you get for me this year...

"Set up the three divisions of the regulations department, take charge of the scriptures and draw the state plan, discuss the old law to benefit the world, place the handout department, select the world's talents, set up officials to separate, participate in their affairs, make up for the disadvantages, and make up for the merits. Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the world has been exhausted, and the beautiful law has been slandered. Today, it is appropriate to refer to the old precedents and test appropriately, so that His Majesty can recall the meaning of the first emperor and achieve the effect of national prosperity. However, if things can be revived, how can the minister be able to do it alone? Looking at the story of the Xining Central Regulations Department of the Holy Ci Inspection Association, from the ministers of the imperial court, the sages who are selected to reach the world affairs are studied together, and the industry of several generations is to edict the eternal generations。。。。。。。 If you are less than a year old, you will have enough money in the world! ”

The meaning of Cai Jing's words was actually to restore the new law of Song Shenzong Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi Xifeng, and to usurp the power of the three provinces and the Privy Council for the purpose of accumulating wealth.

Cai Jing suggested that the purpose of reinstating the lecture department was to seize power and ask for power, and at the same time, the objects of the discussion included the clan, the state, the business travel, the salt ze, the assignment, the redundant officials, and the Yin Mu.

Weng and his son-in-law are ordinary, Zhao Ji said secretly in his heart when he heard this, Li Sanjian also wanted power and power before he went to Quanzhou to take office, and Cai Jing was the same at this time.

Generally speaking, people who want to do things will ask for power, and Zhao Ji still has this idea in his heart at this time.

"Qing's words are great!" Zhao Ji heard that "if you are less than a year old, you will have enough money in the world!" After that, of course, I was happy in my heart, so I said: "Qing is for the country and me, how can I not allow it?" Just let it go. ”

"Wechen thank God!" Cai Jing knelt down and kowtowed again when he heard this.

As soon as Zhao Ji said this, it was equivalent to giving Cai Jing a shining "Shang Fang Sword"... It was the same as what was given to Li Sanjian at that time.

Cai Jing's mood at this time can be described as extremely comfortable, and he was so happy that he almost flew into the sky.

"What do you think of Sanjian?" At this time, Zhao Ji suddenly asked Cai Jingdao.

"This... Your Majesty... This... Cai Jing was caught off guard, and he didn't think of a response for a while, and he hesitated.

Of course, Cai Jing hated Li Sanjian, and he couldn't wait to immediately dismiss Li Sanjian from office, put him in prison, and finally split his body... At the very least, Li Sanjian must be dismissed and exiled.

But Cai Jing also understands, how can he not understand, how dare he not understand? Li Sanjian is Zhao Ji's retainer, the minister of the Qiandi, and Zhao Ji's confidant minister, so it is not easy for Cai Jing to take down Li Sanjian at this time, it can be described as even more difficult.

The key is that Cai Jing has not yet figured it out at this time, what does Zhao Ji mean by asking? Therefore, I did not dare to answer presumptuously.

"Hey, Cai Qing's family!" Zhao Ji then sighed: "Li Hanren and Qing are Weng sons-in-law, according to the words of the common people, it is a family behind closed doors, after all, Han Ren is still young, the so-called young and ignorant, less is not more important, some of the previous things, you, the elder, don't have to worry too much, right?" ”

Cai Jing and Li Sanjian had a holiday, how could Zhao Ji not know at this time? In fact, the two had a holiday, and Zhao Ji still felt at ease about it, otherwise the two of them were really like ordinary sons-in-law, and they were like a family, but Zhao Ji was not at ease.

The reason is that at this time, Cai Jing and Li Sanjian were both ministers relied on by Zhao Ji.

A family behind closed doors? Cai Jing secretly smiled bitterly when he heard this, and when he closed the door, he was afraid that the two would face each other with knives, and Weng Son-in-law would merge with each other。。。。。

Cai Jing still can't understand why Li Sanjian hates himself so much?

Cai Jing obviously felt that Li Sanjian was extremely incompatible with him, and he was not thin on him, Cai Jing thought very curiously.

"Your Majesty, how can Weichen be with him. What about the general knowledge of sons-in-law? Cai Jing then bowed down and said.

At this time, it is a critical period, but you can't spoil a big deal because of this matter, Cai Jing said secretly in his heart.

"That's very good, come on, let's talk to Qing and Qing for a night today." Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this.

So Zhao Ji and Cai Jing talked freely in the Great Song Palace for a whole night, and no one knew what they were talking about.

As a result, a change led by Cai Jing slowly kicked off.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The rich man is the foundation of everything for the life of the country!

Zhao Ji and Cai Jing understand the importance of financial management, why isn't Li Sanjian like this?

"The most important thing is how to calculate and how to calculate." In the Quanzhou Prefecture Office, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, informed Cui Yongzi of his calculations in detail.

Although the imperial court has a tax system, the prefecture and state armies must comply with it, but the prefecture and state armies of each road can also increase or decrease some taxes according to the differences in different places, as long as it does not cause the anger of the heavens and the resentment, as long as the tribute and taxes in various places are not reduced, the court will generally turn a blind eye. Even, even if it causes the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, as long as there is no major turmoil, the imperial court will let it do it.

In most cases, the tax increases imposed by the various prefectures and states are aimed at the common people or the whole people, and this is the so-called exorbitant tax.

However, the calculation proposed by Li Sanjian is aimed at businessmen, mainly for maritime merchants.

Because it is a new type of tax, it is necessary to pay attention to gradual and gradual crossing the river by feeling the stones, so Li Sanjian's calculation is currently only aimed at maritime merchants, not all merchants in Quanzhou, and does not levy taxes on the people of Quanzhou.

Maritime merchants, not all maritime merchants are included, but mainly for high-income maritime merchants, the higher the income, the more taxes are paid.

Generally, maritime merchants do not need to pay a fee.

In order to increase Quanzhou's income, in order to increase the taxes paid to the imperial court, Li Sanjian had to do this, in order not to increase the burden on the people of Quanzhou, in order not to cause the anger of the heavens and people, Li Sanjian had to do the same.

He has already given them great preferential treatment on top of the city tax, if they are no longer interested, then they will not blame themselves for being ruthless, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"How is it levied? What is the threshold? How much? What if the maritime merchants conceal it and do not report it? And so on, does Li Zhizhou have a countermeasure to this? Cui Yongzi asked.

"The threshold? Li is preliminarily set to a monthly income of 200 yuan, and those who have a monthly income of less than 200 yuan do not need to pay the calculation, and those who have more than 200 yuan will be calculated according to the monthly interest of 3 percent, as for those who deliberately conceal and do not report or underreport or omit to report. . . Li Sanjian smiled and said: "My Great Song Dynasty has its own tax collectors, its own laws, and its own prisons, if they want to defy the law, then Li will fulfill their wishes... ”

"That's what Li Zhizhou said." Cui Yongzi nodded.

"Cui Gong, what is the 'green seedling method' of lending grain to the people and paying interest? Can you tell me about it? After half a ring, Li Sanjian suddenly asked Cui Yongzi.

The famous "Seedling Law", how can Li Sanjian not know the truth? Whether it is the predecessor or the later generations, Li Sanjian's ears are almost calloused, but at this time Li Sanjian still wants to hear Cui Yongzi talk about this "green seedling method".

Cui Yongqi was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Li Sanjian blankly, not making a sound.

What is the "Seedlings Method"? It is the most important decree of Wang Anshi's reform, and it is also the most controversial decree. Among all Wang Anshi's new laws, it is the one that has been attacked the most, the most extensive, and the most violent.

Because of this law, the two sides of the law almost broke their heads, and they were almost about to fight each other, and at the same time, countless court officials were dismissed from office and exiled because of this law.

The "Seedlings Method" has almost become a taboo, and both sides are reluctant to mention this method anymore.

The "Qingmiao Law" was promulgated and implemented by Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty in the second year of Xining and abolished in the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

So Li Sanjian suddenly proposed the "Qingmiao Law" at this time, so what did he mean? What does he want to do? Is it difficult for him to risk the world's condemnation?
