The functions of the province itself, because of the lack of three envoys and various departments, led to the existence of the province in name only.

Zhao Huan saw from the long river of history that the Great Song Dynasty should establish a new province, and the main position of this new province should belong to the three princes and nine kings, and appeared in the Chang Dynasty for a long time.

The new province needs to take up its own job.

Including commercial tax, agricultural tax and other fiscal and taxation development strategies, planning, policies and improvement plans and organize their implementation.

It is also necessary to analyze and predict the macroeconomic situation, participate in the formulation of macroeconomic policies, and put forward specific guidance and requirements for the business activities of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is also necessary to formulate distribution policies between the court and the localities, the state and enterprises, and improve the social security system that encourages the inclusion of nursing homes and anjifang.

There is also a need to establish a new tax code and tax audits.

It is also necessary to pay taxes to the city of the Great Song Dynasty's increasingly prosperous maritime trade, that is, how to collect customs duties and the proportion of various goods.

It is also necessary to be responsible for the financial and accounting audits of various roads, states and governments.

This is what the province itself should do, but after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, these functions are all owned by the household department.

The household department was originally responsible for the appointment and assessment of people and officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and the work was heavy, and it was also responsible for taxation.

After adding the work functions of the province, it seems that it can't turn around, but it can barely cope with it.

After all, before Zhao Huan ascended the throne, everyone was stepping on the watermelon skin, and it was okay to slide wherever it went.

Now that the commercial reform is constantly advancing, the drawbacks of the household department are gradually revealed.

can't even spend the money, doesn't it just mean that the court of the Great Song Dynasty is gradually losing its original role?

Zhao Huan saw the maladministration of the court of the Great Song Dynasty, but he was powerless to change it now, to be precise, the time was not ripe.

In the case of the formation of the Ministry of Commerce.

From the beginning of the personal servant official copying Wu Min and Li Zheng's family, and getting rich internally, Zhao Huan began to plan the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, and it took two full two years from the selection of people to the decentralization of power from various parts.

This was only done with Li Gang's help.

But it is still a general framework, if it weren't for Li Gang's flying shuttle loom, it is still ambiguous whether the Ministry of Commerce can go on.

Zhao Huan looked at the eager eyes of the courtiers and said, "That's it." ”

"Let's talk about the currency first, the money of the Great Song Dynasty can't be overissued, this is the bottom line! A silver dollar and a penny. Absolutely not over-issued. ”

Zhao Huan first set a lower limit for the financial reform of the Great Song Dynasty, which was a guarantee to prevent the weak economy of the Great Song Dynasty handicraft workshop from being directly washed away under the impact of the financial and accounting reform.

The Great Song Dynasty was very wealthy, but the economy of the feudal dynasty was all a workshop and a small peasant economy, which could easily lead to all kinds of social chaos.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step.

"Zhao Duzhi, I remember that we have a lot of ticket numbers in our house, right?" Zhao Huan said suddenly.

Zhao Ying was stunned, when did this Chang Dynasty have his business?

"Yes, mainly in the Northland, there are about a hundred ticket numbers of the Great Song Dynasty, and the silver dollars of the official family are exchanged from these ticket numbers." Zhao Ying bowed his head and hurriedly said.

Zhao Huan nodded and said: "Give the ticket number of the inner money to the Ministry of Commerce, and let the Ministry of Commerce set up the Great Song Village." ”

Zhao Ying's eyes widened and widened!

At the beginning, the official family used internal money to fill the bereavement pensions of Chen Liumen's soldiers and civilians who died in the war.

In Yunzhong Road, make up for the food and salary of the Song soldiers.

lent money to Sun Bo and He Li on Hedong Road, and filled the hole that was often closed.

During the war in Pingzhou, the internal government paid for food.

When the Great Song Bookstore was established, all the bookstores in the inner house were given to the Jinjuyuan and Li Bangyan, and the Great Song Bookstore was formed! The proceeds go to the state treasury!

Even the 10 million silver dollars robbed by the Holy Decree went to the national treasury!

Now there are not many ticket numbers and money left in the inner bank...... The official family also wants to go to the outer court?

Li Gang, Zheng Wangzhi, and Zhu Shengfei looked at each other, what are the officials going to do? They looked at Zhao Huan inexplicably, not knowing what he wanted.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying's face and knew that he was reluctant.

The internal bookstore of the Great Song Dynasty was gone, and the silk workshop was given to the textile institute and the money for the seizure of the house, and it was also taken out for national military and civilian purposes.

Now the ticket number money bank, is it going to be gone?

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "It is necessary to set up a big Song money bank, formulate and implement the issuance and recovery of currency, formulate monetary policy, and manage private money bank. ”

"I don't know if you still remember the reason why the Liangshu region chose Zhao Gou instead of me?"

Li Gang nodded and said, "The money doesn't go into Shu." ”

Although no one in the court named names, this piece of money does not enter Shu, and the decree that the money in Shu is like waste paper is an order issued by Zhao Ji in order to cut the land in Shuzhong.

This led to Shuzhong's natural distrust of the Bianjing court.

Zhao Huan saw that the courtiers were all understanding people, and this group of top people all knew why Shuzhong chose Zhao Gou.

I'm not confused.

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "The commerce and trade of the Great Song Dynasty are extremely prosperous, but there is a shortage of money. It's not that the Great Song Dynasty is not rich enough, but that the Great Song Dynasty lacks currency for trading, that is, there is a shortage of money. ”

"I used a holy decree to rob a boatload of silver from the Wa Kingdom, and got 10 million silver dollars from the Great Song Dynasty."

"The aim is to establish a new monetary system with silver as the standard currency."

"How many silver dollars are issued? How much money is printed? Who will print the money? What is the exchange ratio between silver dollars and iron coins? What regulations should be relied upon when the Great Song Dynasty used silver dollars for foreign trade settlement? There is no charter. ”

"When the Emperor Taishang patted his head, he printed a bunch of money, and he patted his thigh and printed a bunch of money."

"This kind of India is that the people are not happy, the people are absent, the society is in turmoil, and the slightest thing is a deviation from morality."

"I never blame the people of Shuzhong, it's the Great Song Dynasty who is sorry for them."

Zheng Wangzhi, the head of the household department, stood up and said, "Official, why don't you leave this matter to the household department?" ”

Zhao Huan looked at Zheng Wangzhi, and Zheng Wangzhi's heart was furious.

Then Zheng Wangzhi sat down stupidly, he had already understood the meaning in the official's eyes.

The household department did not do a good job in the original work of the province, and this silver standard system is obviously an extremely important department, and the household department cannot bear it.

"I said Zheng Shaoqing, this household is already fat enough, and if you eat it again, you won't be able to walk." Zhu Shengfei sneered and said with a smile.

Liu Chengqing patted Zheng Wangzhi and laughed. In an instant, the Wende Hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Zhao Huan also shook his head, Zhu Shengfei said what he wanted to say, there are too many functions of the household department, and no matter how much it is, it will not be able to turn around.

Liu Chengqing asked suspiciously: "Official, there is no need to take out the ticket number of the internal treasury, let Chen Chong take some money from the national treasury, and do this thing, why do you want to take out the internal treasury?" ”

Liu Chengqing's doubts are also always upward, and the six Jiuqing and the Dazai Li Gang of the Great Song Dynasty have doubts in their hearts.

"The official retainers think it's inappropriate, and then build some ticket number money villages, that is, the official family has never taken money from the state treasury since they ascended the throne, and they have been subsidizing the state funds. Li Gang also stood up and opposed the official family's move to dismember the internal treasury again.

"Yes, the official family, the spitting stars of the people of the Great Song Dynasty will scold us to death, and no one can treat the official family lightly." Liu Chengqing hurriedly stood up and responded.

If this really empties the emperor's small treasury and is known to the people, they will be scolded to death!

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "There is still a little industry in the house, just enough to spend." ”

Zhao Huan has been consciously purging the internal property, including the internal clothing workshop he inherited when he succeeded to the throne and the workshop that was later confiscated.

He has been consciously reducing the Zhao family's ability to accumulate wealth.

The courtiers didn't understand, and even if they did, they didn't dare to think about it.

But Zhao Huan knew that the inner money was a product of deformity.

The property of the internal treasury was not subordinate to the state, but to the private ownership of the emperor.

And the emperor is the most powerful person in the world, and there will inevitably be a lack of internal supervision, how much corruption and privilege will be bred?

If the scale of the internal fund grows larger and the industry gets bigger and bigger, it will eventually become an extremely large and deformed interest collective.

And this interest collective has become a new moth on the new tree of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan wants Song Yongchang, and he keeps expanding his internal money, creating privileges, and creating deformed interest collectives, that is Shi Lezhi.

Li Gang has obviously cooperated with Zhao Huan for a long time, and has somewhat figured out the inner thoughts of the Great Song Emperor.

But he didn't know how to phrase it. Do you want to persuade the officials to be dumb?

"The official family, the Great Song Dynasty is not short of this money, let's reorganize." Li Gang still said with his neck stiffened.

Li Gang's attitude shows that he is resolutely opposing Zhao Huan's decree.

It was not against Zhao Huan's idea of establishing the Great Song Dynasty, but against Zhao Huan's continuous reduction of internal funds.

Li Gang is the ruler of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is the kind of only minister who does not form a party, he wants to be a moral saint, and he does not want to have a stain on himself.

He also wants to follow Zhao Huan to make great efforts to change the current predicament of the Great Song Dynasty.

This all decided that he needed a powerful emperor to support him.

The emperor with all the power of the military, politics, and finance!

Zhao Huan took a deep breath and said, "Then raise your hand to vote." Vote on the first item first, order Chen Chong of the Ministry of Commerce, to set up the matter of the Great Song Qianzhuang, and raise his hand in agreement. ”

Several important ministers all raised their hands to express their agreement and support for Zhao Huan's decree.

Da Song Qianzhuang is still called Qianzhuang now, and in two years, I don't know what it will be called, and Chen Chong, in a few years, will definitely be able to stand on top of the court.

Zheng Wangzhi bowed his head and said: "The official family is wise! In the final analysis, this problem of saving money is still a problem of currency, and only by solving the problem of currency can other problems be solved smoothly. The official family is indeed the official family. ”

Liu Chengqing said with a smile: "Fortunately, the king of the best rule is also!" ”

"The official is wise!" Several courtiers were not very neat, but they said very sincerely.

Zhao Huan shook his head with a smile and said, "You guys, you know how to shoot sycophants, and I believe it." ”

"Alright, alright. Vote on the second resolution. ”

Zhao Huan paused, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, just now he had an idea, he thought of a good idea.

He said with a smile: "The matter of the internal ticket number Qian Zhuang returning to the Ministry of Commerce, I raised my hand if I disagreed. ”

？

The courtiers slowly raised their heads to look at Zhao Huan, they looked at the smile on the official's face, and their eyes were full of doubts.

Isn't it supposed to be a raise of hands in agreement?

There is a world of difference between those who agree and those who disagree.

Raising a hand in agreement, even if not raising a hand, has the meaning of retaining one's opinion or abstaining.

And Zhao Huan's move, raising his hand in disagreement, is somewhat interesting. This is an unequivocal objection!

Li Gang and the others glanced at each other twice, the official family is cheating!

Zhao Ying slowly and trembled and raised his hand in half, and under the threat of Zhao Huan's gaze, he slowly lowered his hand again.

Li Gang smiled, raised his hand, and said, "Official, the minister disagrees." ”

As soon as Li Gang took the lead, several other important ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised their hands.

"Alright, put your hands down. I will tell you about this inside thing. Zhao Huan looked at the performance of the courtiers and knew that this was not a clever way to solve the matter.

Zhao Huan's reason is still the reason that he is unwilling to create interest groups and add hidden dangers to the Great Song Dynasty.

He said for a long time, and the faces of the courtiers began to hesitate.

Obviously, there are concerns among the officials.

"It's better to do that, official. The ticket number and the money village were returned to the Ministry of Commerce, and Chen Chong was asked to use them to form the Great Song Money Village, and the minister did not object. ”

"But how about this income, which is the treasury of storage and management, owned by the internal funds?" Li Gang thought of a compromise and said.

The ticket number of Da Song and the deposit and withdrawal business of the money bank are subject to management fees, which are similar to the handling fees of a certain treasure and a certain micro.

But the nature is not quite the same. The money saved in the Da Song Dynasty cannot be used for loans and investments, so the income is only for storage fees.

Moreover, when a large number of withdrawals are made in a certain place, the silver taels and iron money are transferred for withdrawal here, and the risk of freight and transportation must be borne by them.

Take profit somewhat, but not a lot.

A certain treasure and a certain letter, with money, did not engage in investment.

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang's insistent expression, and knew that he was afraid that this matter would not be able to get around today.

I found a good Zaiji, but this Zaiji sometimes makes people a little headache.

But the people were chosen by himself, and he had to accept Li Gang's opposition even if he had to bite the bullet.

He smiled and said: "Then today's Chang Dynasty is here first, Lu Shaoqing, sort out the content of today's court discussion, I will see it in the evening." ”

"You have also worked hard all morning, and you have to be busy in the afternoon, after you go back, make a charter for the affairs of the Great Song Qianzhuang, and everyone will express their opinions, and discuss this matter tomorrow."

"Li Dazai, you stay for a while. I have something to discuss with you. ”

Li Gang bowed his head and said yes, and the other people left the Wende Palace, and only Li Gang and Lu Zai, the two ministers of the outer court, as well as Zhao Ying of the inner court, and the emperor Zhao Huan were left in the palace.

Even the palace people retreated.

This is the habit left at the beginning, to retreat from the left and right, and to say the secret thing.

Now that Li Qingzhao has taken over the management of the inner court, the palace people have all been safe, but this habit has remained.

"The new province is going to be built, you are preparing, this is a big deal, and you can't be sloppy." Zhao Huan said the most important thing first.

It's not that the new province will not be built, but that it is not suitable to be built now.

If the monetary problem is not solved, the construction of the province will not play its due role, as it was in the past.

It turned out that the idea of the province was definitely good, but unfortunately after the implementation, it was found that it was too difficult.

"Xing." Li Gang bowed his head and said.

Zhao Huan nodded, and then talked about the internal affairs, and he communicated with Li Gang for a long time.

In the end, according to Li Ligang's suggestion, the ticket number is operated by the Ministry of Commerce, and the income from the storage fee belongs to the internal fund.

"Then there are more than 100 of them, and the income of other ticket numbers is distinguished from the income of this 100 companies. Can't be in more. Zhao Huan reluctantly agreed.

He couldn't convince Li Gang, because Li Gang had already preset his position, and no matter how many times he said it, it was in vain.

He needs Zhao Huan enough power.

And Li Gang couldn't convince the officials, and he never understood why the officials insisted on cutting the internal money.

However, the two of them each took a step back, and one handed over the money bank to the Great Song Dynasty, and let the supervision department of the Great Song Dynasty supervise it. Reduces the likelihood of the appearance of borers.

One returned the proceeds to the internal treasury, which can be regarded as making the life of the official family less sad.

However, after communication, Li Gang somewhat understood the purpose of the official family's move, and he said with a smile: "The official family has been like this since ancient times. ”

"Since the six kings, the four seas are one, and within the six he, they are all the emperor's land, and the world is one family."

"Now the power and dignity of the official family are what the official family deserves."

"If it weren't for the official family being ordered to save the country and the people in times of crisis, I don't know what the world is like now."

Li Gang finally persuaded and left the Wende Palace, he still had something to do.

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang's back and was stunned, in fact, the fundamental conflict between him and Li Gang was a conflict of ideas.

In Zhao Huan's heart, the world of the Great Song Dynasty belongs to all the people in the Great Song Dynasty! It doesn't belong to you, and it doesn't belong to the Zhao family!

And Li Gang's heart is still the family of monarchs and ministers.

Zhao Huan never thought that his world was his own.

And doesn't he think that the biggest moth in the world is himself, the emperor?

It's a pity that even Li Gang, who has a very tacit understanding with himself, doesn't quite agree with his own philosophy.

Zhao Huan fell into deep thought, could it be that I was hypocritical?

Li Gang's meaning is obvious, the official family is obviously a tiger at the top of the food chain, so he has to eat grass?

Li Gang didn't even eat lunch, and he needed to communicate with Chen Chong to ensure the control of the official family's financial power.
