How did the Great Song Dynasty develop to this point? With the ultra-rapid development, even the silver mines of the Wa Kingdom could not meet the gluttony of commerce and trade in the Song Dynasty?

Is it Zhao Huan who reopened the market? There are certain reasons, but the significance of reopening the market is only to recognize the legality of the non-governmental maritime trade, and it is only the smugglers and pirates who are greatly reduced.

There was a lot of sea trade in the Great Song Dynasty itself, even if it was forbidden by the imperial court, but the court did not have a combat-ready navy, how could it complete the sea ban where the armor did not go to the sea?

Is it the stimulation of finance by Zhao Huan's silver-standard Da Song Yinzhuang? There are certain reasons, but there are non-governmental organizations such as money villages, ticket numbers, and silver markets in the Great Song Dynasty, and the role of the Great Song Dynasty Silver Village is more to standardize the market and have a mediating role.

What stimulated the rapid development of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the speed of commerce and trade, that even silver, as a new legal tender, could not satisfy its appetite?

Zhao Huan has been pondering for many days, and finally found the culprit, which is Li Gang.

His commercial tax reform and the new commercial tax inspection of the Great Song Dynasty established by relying on retired soldiers completely standardized the commercial tax, which not only brought huge financial revenue to the court, but also injected a strong impetus into the development of private commerce and trade.

The commercial tax reform of the Great Song Dynasty completely standardized the chaotic commercial tax of the Great Song Dynasty, dispelled the investment concerns of the people, and they took the silver and copper coins hidden in the cellar to the Great Song Dynasty Silver Village, exchanged them for silver coins and silver bills, holding a large number of banknotes, and employing people to produce, even if it is a small handicraft workshop, it has unlimited potential.

In order to carry out the commercial tax reform to the end, Zhao Huan also carried out a nationwide rectification of the bandits of the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with the galloping road and the construction of water conservancy to make the flow of goods faster, all of which made the development of the Great Song Dynasty burst out with eye-catching power.

History is always created by the people.

Therefore, the culprit of all this is Li Gang, and in the face of the restrictions on development caused by the shortage of money, Li Gang also put forward his own opinion, that is, the small controllable over-issuance, treasury bond financial instruments, is not enough to regulate the general shortage of money in the market.

"This is so powerful for a commercial tax reform?" Zhao Huan frowned, he was wondering if there were courtiers playing some tricks in it that he didn't understand, but he couldn't see the problem.

[Reminder of historical events: In the 29th year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty (1849), the Qing court earned 42.5 million taels of silver, agricultural taxes were 32.81 million taels, accounting for 77%, and industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes were 9.69 million taels of silver, accounting for 23%]

[In the third year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty (1911), the Qing court had an annual income of 296.96 million taels of silver, close to 300 million taels of silver, of which 48.1 million taels were agricultural taxes, accounting for 16%, 204.41 million taels of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes, accounting for 69%, and other revenues were 44.45 million taels, accounting for 15%, and the largest item of other income was tariffs, which was 36.17 million taels, and the rest was the income from planting and selling local medicines (opium poppy). The following year, Emperor Puyi issued an edict of abdication, and the Qing court died. 】

[In the late Qing Dynasty, the annual income rose from 40 million taels to 300 million taels in 50 years, and many people attributed it to the help of the British government tariffs, and from the 11th year of Xianfeng to the second year of Xuantong, it can be seen that the tariffs were not the main growth point of the Qing court, but the huge impact of the commercial tax reform and the release of land on the people. 】

"So system, do you mean, when the Qing court died, it still struggled hard? No wonder the late Qing Dynasty was engaged in Beiyang sailors, reparations, and gardens, and they were all about to play flowers! ”

"Chongzhen is different, he hasn't even repaired his bed for seventeen years, and the glazed tiles of the Jinluan Hall have faded, which is miserable."

Zhao Huan looked at this watch, the Qing court, which he had always looked down on, actually received 300 million a year when the country was dying?

He calculated the income of the current state treasury, and the Great Song Dynasty silver dollar was converted into Kuping silver to calculate, which was about 66 percent, less than 100 million, and only more than 94 million taels of Kuping silver.

If Chongzhen can earn 300 million taels a year, he can't even think of it!

【……】

？

Zhao Huan looked at this string of ellipses and raised his own questions.

[In the third year of Xuantong, the Qing court had essentially lost control of most of the region, otherwise Pu Yi would not have issued an edict of abdication, even if Pu Yi was not attached to his throne, Qing Xungui would force him to be obsessed, and the fall of the Qing court was after losing control of most of the regions. In the three years of voluntary declaration, the payment of taxes has still achieved rapid growth in commercial taxes. The Central Plains Dynasty had great commercial potential. 】

[Chongzhen during the Ming Dynasty, there is the national situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is in the transition period of the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng is determined to reform the middle way collapsed, died of exhaustion, if he can live for ten more years, the Ming Dragon and Tiger General Nurhachi, dare not raise the anti-flag, declare the seven hatreds against the Ming, it is not yet known. 】

[Emperor Chongzhen is facing the eunuch disaster to the country, and the commander of the palace guard Jinyi Guard needs to kowtow to a dog, because the dog was raised by Wei Zhongxian, and you are facing Zhao Ying, the head chef of the inner service province who is not greedy for power, and Shen Cong, who chose to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. 】

[There are no ministers in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and all the Zhengying Dynasty are boastful, you can give him a Li Gang, Zhao Ding, and Zong Ze casually, even if he is a teacher, he will not be so difficult to be played. 】

[Your generals gather Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are all handsome, and they don't need to be considered for military loyalty, they are open to use; Chongzhen is facing Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, Zu Dashou, and Wu Sangui, who are already waiting for the price to be sold before the situation is set. 】

[You are facing the defense of Taiyuan, and your Taiyuan guard Wang Yu will not retreat to the death, and the people who defend the city, even if they die in battle and starve to death, will never surrender to the Jin people, and the Shanhaiguan that Chongzhen needs to hold is the ancestral Dashou family who does not listen to the order and does not listen to the announcement, and then Wu Sangui, who is ready to sell Shanhaiguan at any time. And Wu Sangui is Zu Dashou's nephew. 】

[Your Li Gang is a lone minister, you give Yu Lu and he gives you a hard time, Chongzhen's first assistant stands behind seven shareholders, and when he entered the cabinet, he sold his Wen Tiren at a price of 10,000 taels of silver per share. 】

[If you want to reform the commercial tax, with Li Gang backing you, the people eat pot pulp, the squires and wealthy families are not in the climate, Chongzhen can only look at the commercial tax, and he still owes it. Zhao Ying carefully selects and prepares you for dinner, and Chongzhen usually gathers a bowl of radish soup for the heroes. 】

[Your Huai merchant is on the way to your personal conquest, send you a thin horse, don't just praise you Mingjun, send you money at every turn, when you need food, bring your own dry food to help you transport grain, need a ship, pay out of your own pocket to build a dock for you. Chongzhen faced the Jin merchants who directly became red-top merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the trade with the customs and the Qing soldiers. 】

[Your Great Song Dynasty has countless bow societies, armor societies, and martial arts societies, and recruiting troops can pull out a reserve with a certain combat ability from each society, while Chongzhen's Ming Dynasty only escaped from the army and fled to a clean military household. 】

[What you have to do is to lie down and win, then open a harem, give birth to children, and by the way, make the world a better life, Emperor Chongzhen is driving a broken ship that is about to sink and is full of holes. 】

"Haha!" Zhao Huan laughed wildly, in such a comparison, he really felt extremely lucky.

[Planning your next crossing target, Chongzhen.] 】

The smile on Zhao Huan's face was lost instantly, and he asked in a daze, "You're not joking, are you?" ”
