Chapter 1068 Logistics to Taxes

"When the god machine is developed, the target has been changed, and it has become a ring hoove with the heart of the humanoid target as the center, learn to operate, and after a short period of training, everyone can become a condor archer in Western Xia and Liao, and the time for ten consecutive shots is shortened by half compared to a crane shin crossbow."

"Now that there is a bolt-action structure, the time can be shortened, and the tactics of short-distance cavalry impact of the Western Xia Liao State can no longer work."

"The only regret is that the manufacturing cost is still expensive, the consumption is too large, the logistics requirements are too high, and the bolt-activated guns cannot be widely promoted in the army."

"But we can't afford to use the crane shin crossbow back then? Looking back now, it was a transitional product. ”

"So as long as we go down this road, the advantage of the nomadic race in riding and archery will eventually be equaled and surpassed by our farming clan. This is the foundation of eternity. ”

Di Yong asked, "But what if one day, the nomadic clan also has such an artifact?" ”

Su You smiled: "So we can't rest on our laurels, we need to progress faster than them." ”

Moreover, the invention of firearms directly offset the innate military superiority of the nomadic people; The pattern of cannibalization, neutralizing their advantage in maneuvering. The rest is to compete with the national strength and population. ”

"In these two terms, my Great Song Dynasty has an absolute advantage, so even if they wait until they pick up firearms, their era is over."

After speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, as long as you don't rush forward, don't take chances, victory, sooner or later will be ours!" ”

Zhao Ji finally regained his joy: "Understood, now I understand what you mean by the battle of the gamblers." That road, I can't go on that road. ”

Su You bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the general strategy discussed by the Military Aircraft Department is like this, but to support such a big war, our biggest shortcomings now are in mobility and logistics. ”

"Everything else in the logistics support is easy to say, the food is too chaotic now, and how many reserves there are in various places to raise and close the positions are really worrying the ministers."

"According to the report of the Hedong Transshipment Division, in previous years, the Yellow River was flooded, and the position was very liquidated, so that there was no warehouse relief, but ...... Many warehouses were borrowed by officials, resulting in a large amount of arrears, empty account books, and no food. ”

"An Shi Xianggong has already discovered this problem when he was in charge, the operation function of Chang Ping has been lost, and the local famine cannot be relieved, so he must not order Xue Gongxing to ship the department."

"However, after Xue Gong left office, the Shipping Division became another regular position, or even worse."

"Although the situation in Shaanxi is improving now, it is necessary to support several large armies at the same time, which is obviously overstretched, and it is imperative to use grain as reserves in advance."

"However, the big hole in Caoyun is not enough to fill it......"

Zhao Ji asked, "What should I do?" ”

Su You arched his hand: "Your Majesty's kindness, you have raised the salaries of the officials in the world, the carrots have been eaten, and the big stick has to keep up." ”

"Now that the reform of Taiwan has been effective, it is time to put more burden on them. The ministers asked to rectify the official warehouse and clean up the officials. ”

Zhao Ji's eyelids twitched twice: "This ...... The dynasty treats scholars well......"

Su You was speechless: "It has long been clear in the "Treatise on Virtue" that it is not a person who can recite poetry and memorize the Six Classics to be called a scholar. ”

"Scholars should be the benchmark and model of the four people of the world, and officials should be the benchmark and model of scholars."

"If they are corrupt and pervert the law, oppress the good, deceive the people, and embezzle the state's resources, then such a person should be called a criminal and a national beetle."

"If such a person can be called a scholar, Su You is really ashamed to be on the same list."

Zhao Ji was still a little hesitant: "If the movement is too big......"

Su You said: "It won't be too big, we will only attack one way, which is Cangcao." As for the shipping department, encourage the development of private commerce and transportation, abolish the right of the shipping department to collect, purchase, and sell, and make it an organization on an equal footing with businessmen, accounting for its ability only by cost and profit, and eliminating the inferior. I'm sure things will get better. ”

Zhao Ji nodded: "This is a national plan, and the consumption of Cao Yun can be broken in half, and they really dare to do it...... By the way, what is the loss of sea freight? ”

"This ......" is not harmful if there is no comparison, and Su You is embarrassed to say: "Half into ...... It's ...... soon."

Zhao Ji's face was gloomy again: "These silverfish are damned!" ”

Su You hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Your Majesty, after all, Caoyun and sea transportation are different, one is that there are many people, the second is that there are many checkpoints, the third is slow, and the fourth is that the freight volume is small, and the cost is higher than that of sea transportation." ”

"Although there are many advantages to sea freight, there are also disadvantages, relying on the sea breeze. The coastal wind direction of the Great Song Dynasty is from southwest to northeast from June to December, and from northeast to southwest from December to June. ”

"As long as Your Majesty lifts the monopoly advantage of the Shipping Division and gives some preferential policies, the southeast sea merchants will be allowed to send grain to the north on their own. Soon, the transportation of several roads in Hedong and Hebei will naturally be eliminated by sea. ”

"And the ship that transports Bianjing, in fact, the combination of Master Zhang and Xue Gong's method is good - Zhang Gong stipulates that the ship of Cao Yun stops along the way, and Cao Ding is not allowed to get off the ship, and after arriving in Beijing, the daily consumption of Cao Chuan and Cao Ding's wages will be deducted from the ship's food. This reduces the need for local governments and ship owners to collude with each other to take advantage of the ship's exemption from inspection to transport other cargo. ”

"Because a shipload of grain has a fixed amount from the day it is shipped. Without many reliefs such as stops and turnarounds along the way, the owners and warehouses of the boats would have no excuse to falsely report their losses. ”

"Xue Gong's method is to mix private ships with official ships, and there will be rewards for reporting, and the official ships will be stared at by private ships all the way, so they will not dare to be so blatant."

"And the minister's meaning is that several are combined, in addition to Zhang Xue's second duke's law, but also to add official supervision."

"In order to solve the problem of redundant officials, after the Taiwan admonition was separated, many local officials were turned into metropolitan procurators and procurators, and now it is time for them to exercise their functions."

"The country has no grain and is unstable, so we will start with the inventory and transportation, the regular liquidation, and the transshipment warehouse, so that the procurators in various places will begin to familiarize themselves with their duties."

"In addition, there is another article, that is, to clarify that in addition to the two taxes and land taxes, if the commercial tax is not the place of origin and destination, it shall not be collected from the merchants passing through."

"All commercial taxes were collected by the imperial court, simplified to two taxes, and the tax rate was set at one-tenth."

"The appropriate increase in the tax rate is to ensure the distribution between the court and the local government in the later period, but the intermediate link of commercial tax must be abolished."

"The maintenance of waterways is now under the Sansi River and Canal Division, and the maintenance of roads is under the Ministry of Industry.

"The bento first allocates funds from the three divisions to the River and Canals Department and the Ministry of Industry, and then the River and Canals Division and the Ministry of Industry pay the local labor costs, and change the service to employment."

"If the maintenance of commercial routes is not managed by the local government, then there is no reason for the tax to be taken."

Zhao said: "In this way, the cost of maintenance and repair is large. ”

Su You said: "It's big, but the cost is accounted for, and the wages that should be paid, of course, have to be paid." ”

"Your Majesty, what will the workers do when they get their service money? In order to live, they will still spend it in the end. ”

"To whom does the money go? Attributed to the producers for whom they provide the products. ”

"Producers have to pay taxes to the imperial court, and a large part of the money will be recovered by the imperial court."

"In this process, people's livelihood is developed, people live a better life, the place becomes prosperous, and the country will get greater returns and receive more taxes because of this investment."

"The essence of "Financial Theory" is to let the economic cycle flow, let dead money become living money, let a penny become ten people through circulation, hundreds of people once owned a penny, so that a penny can be used for ten pennies."

"Of course, there is a process in all this, we can start from what we just said, start the first step of the pilot project along the Caoyun Road and in the grain purchase, and gradually begin to adjust the distribution ratio of agricultural tax and commercial tax between the local government and the imperial court, and gradually reach the ideal state step by step."

The so-called control of various industries in a place and the management of people's economic life from head to toe, from life to death, is actually to make this money used as ten cents and hundreds of cents. And in the entire economic closed loop, most of these ten hundred texts will eventually be put into the pockets of Sitong.

While making a lot of money, it can also develop the economy and promote people's livelihood.

Of course, the improvement of production efficiency brought about by technology and industrialization has played a major role; The disguised magnification of the economic scale brought about by finance has played an important role; The cultivation of new management talents, financial and accounting talents, and migrant workers has played a key role.
