Chapter 516: What Should I Do If I Can't Spend Too Much Money?
This poem by the official family is obviously not my own experience.
In Li Qingzhao's view, these two poems actually describe more of a story about a couple who are forced to be helpless and unable to be together.
Li Qingzhao didn't read it in depth, she was afraid that she would misunderstand, just like at the beginning.
Similarly, after she experienced Zhao Mingcheng's incident, she had reached the point where she was neither sad nor happy.
If there is a good result, then there is.
If not......
She took a deep breath and, on the blank notebook, wrote:
[Not sad, not happy; Don't cry, don't grieve; Don't come, don't go; Reluctant, never leaving. 】
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Huan finally ushered in the first court meeting after returning to Beijing, which was extremely boring.
The quarrel between the government and the government, in Zhao Huan's view, is like a quarrel between women on the street, standing on their own preset positions, and starting an argument.
I just want to convince the other party, but I can never convince the other party, and I don't even want to take a step back.
The courtiers kept arguing, and Zhao Huan sat on the royal throne, bored.
Before this tearing is over, it is inconvenient for Zhao Huan to end.
Otherwise, he will be both a referee and a player, and the court of this great court meeting will be of no use to him.
At the beginning of the court meeting, Zhao Huan was not in this state of being too far away, but also actively sat in front of the palace and listened to the courtiers discuss national affairs.
The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable.
At first glance, it makes sense, but it doesn't seem to make any sense, and then it's just repeating the words, and it becomes boring.
Zhao Huan swept everyone's loyalty and ability points boredly.
Li Gang is extremely accurate in looking at people.
At least Zhao Huan looked at the loyalty value and ability of the courtiers, basically there were not too many positions, and there were places that did not match the ability.
And some people are very capable, but they are in a low position, Zhao Huan looked carefully and found that they were all young people.
Their experience is not sufficient to fill more important positions.
The bad habit of officialdom on seniority was also a common phenomenon in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Official?" Zhao Ying reminded Zhao Huan in a low voice.
"Huh?"
Zhao Huan came back to his senses from the outside of the fugue and said, "Finished discussing? ”
Li Gang looked helplessly at the official family on the throne, and he came out and said: "The official family is a few opinions on the extraterritorial relocation order, the official family will take a look?" ”
He didn't blame the officials for not being diligent in government, and if the saints were not diligent in government today, there would be no diligent emperor in the world.
In fact, when the courtiers were quarrelling, Li Gang almost fell asleep.
In the words of the official, it is too boring to talk about it.
The court argument is actually a formality.
Most of the provisions were formulated, and the cuts and increases in benefits were discussed long ago on the night before the Great Pilgrimage, when the various forces sat together.
It has long been submitted to the official family for approval.
But in this form, it is not okay not to go.
Zhao Huan pretended to pick up Li Gang's notebook, and after Zhu criticized, he said, "Execute it according to the order." ”
Most of the courtiers in the front row could not reach it, looking at the notes approved by the emperor.
Some courtiers were excited, they participated in the government affairs, and even their opinions were adopted by the court officials.
Some courtiers are disgraced, like defeated roosters, and have no fighting spirit.
Sense of involvement.
Zhao Huan shook his dizzy head, stood up, and dispersed the court meeting.
The squires of Li Gang's various ministries stayed behind and began a real exchange of interests.
Basically, the extraterritorial relocation orders were decided by the Chang Dynasty.
Zhao Huan finally cheered up and began to participate in the court discussions, and whenever he threw out a question, the courtiers agreed and opposed to stating reasons or putting forward constructive suggestions.
This also made him have to admire this group of top people who stand on the top of the Chang Dynasty and think about the problem thoroughly.
Zhao Huan finally under the persuasion of the ministers, he suspended all kinds of reforms against the maladministration of the court, and everything was based on stability.
However, an issue that needs to be solved urgently has become a point of controversy for today's government and politics.
And there was a lot of discussion, and the discussion was extremely eager.
With the continuous advancement of commercial reform, the tax system established by the Great Song Dynasty relying on the monopoly and tax-inclusive purchase system has become extremely inefficient and cannot keep up with the rhythm of the times.
It has been 160 years since the Great Song Dynasty, and this set of official systems, tax systems, field systems, and military systems has been implemented for 160 years, and there is a smell of decay and pedantry everywhere.
is still the same sentence, Zhao Huan still believes that the most exquisite language in the world is Chinese and Chinese characters, because they are profound and all-encompassing.
But the last word that should appear is about the same three words.
After the Great Song Dynasty system has been in operation for 160 years, it is almost the same everywhere.
Taxation was the first issue to come to light.
With the continuous advancement of commercial reform, the tax collection of the Great Song Dynasty was carried out by an inspection team composed of retired soldiers, which carried out tax inspections and supervised payment, and the accountants of the province calculated the taxes, and then collected and distributed.
The inspector of the retired soldier did a very good job, and the three words of tax inspection, even the first-class merchants of Didian were stunned when they saw it.
This group of inspectors doesn't tell you anything at all, and it's a good idea to recover taxes.
The accountants of the province also had no problem calculating, and they could also find a lot of stolen and missed taxes through the account books.
The problem lies in the issue of unified revenue and expenditure.
The Great Song Dynasty's plan has really reached the point where it should be abolished and then re-established.
In addition to raising a large number of accountants who are good at accounting for books, Ji Province no longer has his original function.
Plan fiscal revenues and expenditures.
The Great Song Dynasty, or all the feudal dynasties, did not have a complete financial plan.
In other words, it is the Qin Pavilion Chu Lou [Note 1] - do whatever you want.
In the second year of Jingkang, nearly 70 million yuan of business tax was collected!
However, because of Zhao Huan's policy of reducing and reducing taxes a large amount, the agricultural tax has been reduced by half compared with before, only about 10 million yuan.
But there are not only more than 80 million yuan in the national treasury, but more than 140 million yuan of money and food, lying there!
Where did the money come from?
The household department dumped the land and tossed some money.
This year's tabloids and morning newspapers of the Concert Academy have also contributed a lot of money.
But this is all small money, and what really makes money is that Li Gang sells a lot of luxury goods in Bianjingcang.
But of the extra 60 million guan, 40 million guan was earned by the two departments of the Industrial Relief Institute and the Ordnance Institute.
When Li Gang was the first squire of the military department and concurrently served as the weapons supervisor, in order to upgrade the armaments of the Great Song Dynasty, he did a lot of civilian work to maintain its operation.
However, the main responsibility of the Ordnance Institute is still to produce armaments, and at the request of Zhao Huan, it has been slowed down, and even canceled civilian orders.
Therefore, out of these 40 million yuan, 30 million yuan is earned from the work relief workshop and work relief guarantee of the work relief institute.
Ji Province did not arrange the extra 40 million yuan, they underestimated the ability of the Great Song Dynasty to create wealth.
The national treasury of the Great Song Dynasty caused by the commercial reform continued to expand, unable to keep up with the times and provinces, and was the first to be eliminated.
The problem of calculating the province, in fact, Zhao Huan doesn't seem to have a big problem, isn't it just that there is no place to spend a lot of money?
Easy to do!
Build roads and pave bridges, it's a bottomless pit!
As long as it is activated, these 40 million streams will be spent like water.
This is not a big deal, and the province has no plan for the whereabouts of the 40 million yuan, even if it is not spent.
However, the core issue of today's fierce quarrel between the Chang and the DPRK was led by the 40 million yuan of money saved.
This money, it can't be spent!
The people of the Great Song Dynasty did not recognize iron money, but only money.
More than 100 times of buying and selling, all of them began to use money to lead transactions.
Zheng Wangzhi, the head of the household department, stood up and said: "Official, on this day when this money can't be spent, the minister has been a member of the household department for more than ten years, and it is really the first time I have heard of such a thing. ”
Li Gang also bowed his head and said: "At the beginning of the year, after 10 million silver dollars were released one after another, there was this atmosphere, and no one cared about it at that time. Now this silver dollar can be exchanged for almost half a consistent iron coin. ”
"How's that okay?" Zhu Shengfei also looked helpless, when the accounts were closed, they found the iron money in the national treasury, and there was nowhere to spend it.
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Isn't General Hu going to Beijing to report on his work?" He has been working in Shuzhong for almost a year, and he didn't enter Beijing last year. Ask if Shuzhong needs iron money. ”
"This is a momentary relief, but what about after that?" Li Gang still said worriedly.
Zhao Huan didn't rush to answer the question, he leaned back in his chair and looked out of the hall, his eyes seemed to travel to nine hundred years later, and he needed to play his role.
Use his vision to be ahead of his time and find solutions to problems.
Zhao Huan didn't stay in a daze for long, then came back to his senses and said, "There is!" ”
"I know what the Great Song is missing."
