Chapter 1434 Saving Fees

Cai Jing was a little mistaken about the purpose of Su You's attention to this book, and comforted: "Guogong has always been famous for his merits, and His Majesty will still use it after all, and everyone in the world knows about this section." ”

Su You was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

The traitor is always a traitor, thinking that he was worried about being forgotten by the king, and he did not stop during the period of defending, so he hurriedly wrote the book just to find an opportunity to let Zhao Ji remember himself.

I couldn't help crying and laughing: "Where do you want to go, let's talk about the movement of the court." ”

Cai Jing said: "What is the trend of the imperial court...... Cai Qu's suggestion, what does Guogong think? ”

In September, Cai did suggest to Zhao Ji that in view of the consolidation of Ningxia and the peace of Qingtang, the main army of the Shaanxi Fourth Route Western Army needed to consider a way out.

The power of the Forces nouvelles has been demonstrated, and it is imperative to reform the national army.

Therefore, Zhao Ji was asked to summon the generals of the Western Army to the Royal Military Academy to receive education in new military ideology and hold a "training course for senior generals"; at the same time, most of the old army was transferred and resettled, the population of Ningxia Road was enriched, the border defense was adjusted and consolidated, the transportation route from Yumen Pass to Khotan was renovated, and a walled fort and post station were set up to consolidate the Xinde area.

The remaining elite of the Western Army will be reorganized and reorganized in accordance with the new army structure, so as to reduce military expenditures and improve combat effectiveness.

At the same time, for key national areas such as Shuzhong, Liangzhejiang, Hebei, and the South China Sea, they will also follow the example of Beijing, Hexi, adjust the military system, replace the old army, and form a new army to replace it.

From the bright side, this proposal should be said to be beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, and the military of the Great Song Dynasty should indeed develop in this direction.

However, in the short term, this also had the effect of temporarily removing the control of the Western army generals from the army, and it can be seen as a precursor to Cai's intention to get involved in the military.

What is its purpose?

However, Su You was not worried: "Has the personnel of the Military Aircraft Department changed?" ”

Cai Jing was quite satisfied with Su You's political sensitivity, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty once intended to let the senior envoy take charge, but it is said that the Queen Mother rejected it and replaced Wang Shao, and Zhang Qi was transferred to Nanhai to replace Wang Shao. ”

"The senior envoy is now only in charge of the Education Department of the Military Aircraft Department, and the head of the Royal Military Academy."

This arrangement is very reasonable, and a group of fierce generals have entered the Military Academy, which makes Su You can't help but think of the three military commanders in "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei, who behaved like fish in the pond in the Nanjing Military Academy.

Only the big Buddha of Gao Zunyu can be suppressed.

Cai Qu's actions didn't get much benefit, at most he was to install and promote some people.

But the Forces nouvelles themselves are a melting pot, and they serve a clear audience, the state and the monarch, not anyone's private power.

Even Su You can only influence them from the side, using the theory of heavenly reason and human feelings, and the heart of heaven and people's hearts.

At a time when the interests of the king and the interests of the state coincide, it is delusional for any private person to intervene in the new army.

Cai Jing said: "Cai of the Military Aircraft Department is indeed unable to intervene, after all, his qualifications are too shallow, and he has no military achievements. However, he must have had another purpose in this move, but he couldn't guess it for a while. ”

Su You said: "As long as it's beneficial to the country, don't guess if you can't guess." The imperial court is going to open the imperial examination, are you optimistic about the talents in Shuzhong? ”

Cai Jing said with a smile: "The outstanding people in Shu, the family brothers, as well as Wang Dang and Cheng Zhishao, have a relatively large grasp of the imperial examination this time...... Huh! Speaking of which, it seems that they are all classmates of the country? ”

Su You remembered the days in the school palace back then, and couldn't help but wonder: "Not only classmates, but Uncle Cheng Yi is also my cousin." When you go down the mountain for a while, please bring me a piece of the ritual for them, which is kind of meaning. ”

After speaking, he looked at the sky: "Madame is also coming back, yesterday I hit a muntjac, caught a few pheasants, and picked a basket of mushrooms with a colander, then we will stew mushrooms with chickens, fry muntjac with bamboo shoots, and then taste the vegetables I planted!" Mountain vegetables and wild food are not a tribute. ”

Cai Jing Dale: "It's not easy to eat the food cooked by Guogong himself now, but Cai Jing is here today!" ”

……

In November, I'll see you in the daylight.

Liao State, Wuquan Palace.

Yelu Hongji was furious: "Privately cast bronze utensils have been banned repeatedly, what are you Chen Yi eating?!" ”

Chen Yi, the governor of the political affairs, knelt on the ground and trembled: "The ministers should be punished, the profits of the bronze are too great, and the Song State has 250,000 yuan of coins, which really can't withstand consumption." ”

Yelu Hongji said angrily: "Where is all my money? Isn't it greedy for ink? ”

Chen Yi hurriedly pleaded: "The ministers have done their best, and they dare not die!" Your Majesty, last year's white disaster, the imperial court to help the Tatar tribes, it really cost a lot, and the female of the Huanglong Mansion is also supporting, I heard that they have been defeated again......"

Yelu Hongji sat on a tiger skin chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples with his hands: "Now I only talk about how to solve it, the reward of the winter bowl cannot be awarded, Da Liao has lost his dignity, you Chen Yihe, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the responsibility." ”

Chen Yi said: "In today's plan, the minister is thinking about it...... Can you borrow money from the merchants of the coastal counties first, and wait for the New Year's coins of the Southern Dynasty to come, and then pay them back. ”

"Me?" Yelu Hongji's temper came up again: "I borrowed money from the merchants?!" That's what you Chen Yi had in mind?! ”

Chen Yiyi was in a cold sweat: "If you don't borrow it...... Then sell the official? ”

Yelu Hongji kicked Chen Yi to the ground: "150,000 rewards!" How many officials can be awarded? Is your position as governor of Chen Yishen worth this amount? ”

"No, no, no, no......" Chen Yi shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is caused by the snow disaster, I am enlightened to the south, and I use more silk money, and the north is nomadic, and I use copper coins more, and most of the money saved by the imperial court is copper coins." ”

"When the snow disaster was carried out, the imperial court needed to buy a large amount of grain and cloth if it wanted to relieve the disaster, so a large amount of copper coins flowed into the south."

"And ...... There is also the observatory, although the Song people have assisted us with hundreds of thousands of yuan, but we have to pay for some of it to build it. ”

"Even if the old man imitates a lot of machinery, but the mud and stone earthwork, supporting various instruments and machinery, star towers, and palace rooms are always indispensable...... Also, it has to be nearly a million ......."

"Most of these things come from the south, and they are all exchanged for copper coins from the imperial court."

Yelu Hongji was angry again: "Then why don't you use silk money? ”

Chen Yi snorted: "Because...... Because Tianxiangtai has many facilities, it depends on the south, and some of them are contracted to the Song people, or purchased from the Song State. ”

"Silk money is only used in Liao and Zhanglu Island, and they don't accept Song people outside of it."

"There were silk money in the south, and copper money was dispensable for them, and when they got it, they would immediately turn it into bronze ware."

"Because the skaters know that there is a huge difference between the copper coins and the bronze artifacts of our dynasty, and they can make greater profits by turning money into tools."

Yelu Hongji gritted his teeth and said, "Is this no way? Do you have to force me to use my knife? ”

"No, no......" Chen Yi hurriedly shook his head: "Silk banknotes are convenient, and they have their own benefits, as long as they ...... As long as this bowl is rewarded and silk money is also used, there will be no problem...... It's actually a matter of habit. ”

Yelu Hongji pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Can the silk banknotes be counted in full?" ”

"Count!" Chen Yi hurriedly replied: "I will count the silk banknotes in absolute suffrage!" It just so happened that the envoy of the Southern Dynasty consulted with us and asked if we could print and distribute five years of silk banknotes at a time, so as to reduce the cost of printing. ”

"Oh?" Yelu Hongji said: "Is it good for us that they reduce costs? ”

"Of course there are benefits! Otherwise, the minister would not have come to ask His Majesty. Chen Yi hurriedly said: "Every time a silk banknote is printed and distributed, I will give 25,000 guan to the Southern Dynasty...... After the printing fee was increased to 750,000 yuan last year, this money is too much, and the minister feels distressed every time. ”

"Therefore, this time the minister discussed with the Song envoys, and my Da Liao will use it for five years at a time, and only give them two years."

"It's good for everybody – they reduce printing costs and save last year a lot of money; And I, Da Liao, can save 225,000 yuan! ”

"In this way, we will not only reduce the cost of printing by three-fifths, but also be able to deposit nearly four million pieces of silk banknotes in the treasury at one time. In a hurry, you can move and borrow money, are you still afraid that you won't be able to make a bowl? ”

Yelu Hongji's face finally softened: "I am diligent in doing things, and it can be regarded as a credit to be able to extract so many expenses from the Song people." ”

"But Yin can't help it, this time the bowl is a special thing, and when the coins are received next year, you still have to fold the copper coins into the treasury, understand?"

"Understood, or Your Majesty is wise!"

"Receive a reward of 5,000 yuan, go down and do a good job, the more disasters you suffer, the more you have to do this bowl decently, you can't make Bian Fan look down on you with false momentum, understand?"

"Obey the order!"
