The Jin army retreated, but Zhao Huan knew that the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty had not been resolved, and according to the development of history, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan would soon join forces, and then make a comeback, and it was that year that he and his cheap father were taken away, and the most tragic Jingkang disaster in the history of the Celestial Empire occurred.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen to him, Zhao Huan sat on the dragon chair in the imperial study, looked at the few core courtiers in front of him, and thought about how to solve the current crisis of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Li Gang, you count, reward the generals who made meritorious contributions in the process of defending the city, and the soldiers who died in battle, and pay the full amount of pensions, you must personally supervise this matter, if there is a mistake, I will ask for you." Zhao Huan said to Li Gang, his voice was not very loud, but he was full of energy, with a posture of not being angry and threatening, although he had just become the emperor for a day, but at this time, Zhao Huan already had the majesty of the emperor.

Li Gang hurriedly responded.

As a superior, he must be rewarded and punished clearly, so as to convince the many generals below who are working hard for the country, Zhao Huan knows this very well, and now that he has won, it is time to fulfill his promise.

The Great Song Dynasty is actually very rich, but for so many years, Zhao Huan's cheap father has been arrogant and lascivious, and he has constantly looted the people's fat and ointment, which has made the people miserable, so the first task in front of Zhao Huan now is to rectify the rule of officials, after all, during the Song Dynasty, corruption was too powerful, and vigorously develop the economy, only in this way can the stormy Song Dynasty court be saved.

"I have just ascended the throne, and it coincides with the war, the people are suffering, I thought about it, and decided to grant amnesty to the world, exempt the people everywhere from paying taxes for three years, all palace expenses, everything is simple, and call on all the people of the Great Song Dynasty to be diligent and thrifty!" Zhao Huan said to the ministers in front of him.

Hearing what Zhao Huan said, everyone was shocked, you must know that the history of the Celestial Empire was based on agriculture, and emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was the basic national policy of all dynasties, and the income of the treasury was basically borne by the taxes of farmers, but now Zhao Huan's sentence actually wants to exempt the tax for three years, so where does the money of the Song Dynasty come from in the past three years?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, now that our treasury is empty, if we are exempted from taxes for another three years, then where will our court's expenses come from?" Zhu Shengfei, the new head of the household department, opened his mouth to advise.

Zhao Huan nodded and said: "I have also thought about the things you are considering, this is a little immature idea that I came up with, you circulate it and take a look, if you have any questions, let's take it out and discuss it, if there is no problem, we will formulate a practical plan." ”

Zhao Huan said, handing a pile of rice paper in front of the bookcase to Zhu Shengfei in front of him.

Zhu Shengfei took it and looked at it, his brows couldn't help frowning tightly, it's not that Zhao Huan's writing is obscure, it's really that Zhao Huan wrote these words, he doesn't know too many of them.

"What? But what's the problem? Zhao Huan saw that Zhu Shengfei was a little unnatural.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, the old minister is stupid, what Your Majesty wrote, some of the old ministers really can't understand it, and please make it clear to Your Majesty." Zhu Shengfei knelt down and bowed.

Zhao Huan patted his head, and then realized that he only cared about his own writing, and forgot that the Song Dynasty still used traditional characters at this time.

Zhao Huan took the rice paper and explained to everyone: "I have decided to encourage the development of industry and commerce, and set up tax departments in various places, which are directly subordinate to the leaders of the Ministry of Households, and are responsible for the collection of taxes in various state capitals, and in the future, the focus of taxation will also shift from agriculture to industry and commerce......

Zhao Huan said for half an hour like a machine gun, and the ministers below were stunned one by one as if listening to a book from heaven, they were really shocked, they really couldn't imagine that their emperor could come up with such a strange theory.

"Never!" Li Gang was the first to stand up and object, and said: "Your Majesty must not, agriculture is the foundation of our Great Song Dynasty, and rashly shifted the focus to industry and commerce, which is shaking the foundation of the country, please Your Majesty must think twice!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, all dynasties and dynasties have focused on agriculture, and now it is the time when my Great Song Dynasty is stormy, and I must not grow branches at this time." Zong Ze also stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the transaction behavior of merchants is extremely difficult to control, and if we rashly reform the system, it is very likely to cause us to have no taxes to collect." Zhu Shengfei's opinion is more practical, that is, Zhao Huan said to collect taxes on industry and commerce, but there is no accurate thing to measure this industry and commerce, and how to collect taxes at that time has become a problem.

The remaining ministers also expressed their opinions, but Zhao Huan also heard the meaning clearly, that is, he disagreed.

Zhao Huan really didn't expect this opposition to be so loud, as a modern person, he forgot that it took decades for the Celestial Empire to remove feudal ideas from his mind, these people have been imprisoned by ideological education since childhood, even if Zhao Huan is the emperor, it is not easy to persuade them.

Zhao Huan shook his head helplessly, it seems that the reform still has to be done step by step, this kind of thing cannot be rushed, so he can only compromise: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be discussed later." After a pause, Zhao Huan then said: "I have decided to set up an ordnance department, the level is equivalent to the six departments, mainly responsible for the research and development of weapons, and the world, anyone who thinks they have craftsmanship can come to my ordnance department to register, once the research and development is selected, it will be rewarded!" ”

"Shhh After Zhao Huan said this, everyone gasped, the young emperor in front of him was really powerful, he actually wanted to set up a seven-department outside the six, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and found that everyone's faces were at a loss, and then they realized that this must be something that Zhao Huan came up with by himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, the three provinces and six ministries are the model that has been used by all dynasties, and it is not appropriate to rashly set up the seventh ministry now." Li Ruoshui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, this old man is a foolish and loyal old man, who attaches great importance to etiquette, and now Zhao Huan rashly proposed to establish the seventh department, he thinks that it is inappropriate to break the tradition.

Zhao Huan was angry, and he asked with a smile: "Then let me ask you, is it right that the dynasties have been using it?" If that's the case, why did the Tang Dynasty perish? ”
