After Du Yan left, Zhao Zhen met the third envoy Yan Shu again. Yan Shu came to report on the trade between China and China.

Mainly, because of the tense war along the border, the state added feathers, sinew, iron paint and other materials to the list of goods in order to make arrows.

As a result, it has created an opportunistic way for countless businessmen.

These guys, through bribery and bribery of local military and civilian officials, deceive the state of the goods that enter China - mainly salt, by bribing and bribing local officers and civilian officials.

Because of the war, the Great Song Dynasty Center could only turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

As long as the businessmen don't do too much, they will endure it.

But now, as the war gradually turns in favor of the Great Song Dynasty.

The inferiority of the ruling class was immediately revealed.

"Your Majesty, these cunning businessmen have wantonly deceived salt sources, causing the price of salt in Jingdong Road, Huainan Road and Kaifeng Mansion to plummet, causing both public and private harm!" Yan Shuyi reported in righteous words: "Please Your Majesty, issue an edict to prohibit, and even abandon the salt that they have defrauded to continue circulation!" ”

For the third division, this kind of thing is undoubtedly disgusting!

Salt, tea, iron, wine, and spices are all pillar products of the state-run economy.

In particular, salt, tea, and wine, the annual income of the three accounts for most of the income of the three divisions!

Among them, the revenue of salt tax is approaching 10 million every year!

In comparison, the combined revenue of the two taxes of the state is about 25 million yuan.

Now, these businessmen, relying on cunning means and taking advantage of procedural loopholes, wantonly defraud the state salt tax and embezzle the vested interests of the three divisions.

For the three divisions, it is naturally a great enemy!

I didn't care about it before, it was because the war was urgent, and the country still needed these people.

Now, when the war eases, it is naturally the time to settle accounts after the autumn and take the opportunity to regain blood.

Yan Shu took a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and directly announced the abandonment of the salt introduced by all the merchants, as long as it spreads, I am afraid that the people who jumped into the river on the state bridge will be lined up one after another!

And this is not at all surprising for the ruling circles.

Zhao Zhen listened, but shook his head: "It's too serious...... It's ...... heavy."

"Cunning businessmen, naturally there are ......"

Zhao Zhen knew that not only businessmen were seeking, but ministers, relatives, and clans were also seeking.

Moreover, the big head must have fallen into the hands of powerful relatives and officials.

The businessman is just eating a little profit and making some errand money.

"It's just...... There is also loyalty in the world......"

"If this is the case with the three divisions, wouldn't even the loyal people and law-abiding businessmen also be attacked?"

"Qu and so on thousands of miles, donating materials for the country, turning back, I have a decree, so that he will destroy his family, how can I bear it?!"

"Besides, if I exchange the salt for today's waste feathers and tendons, there will be side affairs in the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and the country wants businessmen to lose the side, who would dare to lose?"

"The story of Zigong's ransom must be kept in mind!" Zhao Zhen looked at Yan Shu and said meaningfully.

Yan Shu listened, bowed his head deeply, and bowed: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and the ministers are extremely admired!" ”

"It's just that, in this way, the wealth of the three divisions this year will ......"

"I will let Zuozang branch seal the pile money of 2 million yuan, and then let Yizhou cast iron money 500,000 yuan, and transfer it to the third division......" Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "I will never make it difficult for the third division!" ”

"Panic!" Yan Shu paused deeply.

Zhao Zhen held his hand and said sincerely: "I take the total as the three envoys, that is, I want to entrust the country's financial power and expenditure to the total!" ”

"In total, I only need to be a good family for me, take care of this family, don't let the soldiers along the border have the risk of lack of food and clothing, and don't let one of my people suffer from floods, droughts, soup and locusts!"

Yan Shu was moved to cry, and finally said goodbye.

Until Yan Shu's figure disappeared from sight.

Zhao Zhencai sighed leisurely: "Yan Shu is not easy! ”

Zhao Xin nodded beside him.

It's true that Da Song's family is not good.

It's just that......

Yan Shu came today, I'm afraid that it is fake to want to abandon the salt introduction, and it is true that he wants money!

Who doesn't know that Zhao Zhen is a person who is famous for cherishing feathers and would rather suffer himself than let the people suffer?

It's like there is a story in the imperial city, saying that in the first year of Jingyou, Zhao Zhen was bored in the middle of the night in the palace, so he took his attendants to play with flying leaves.

At that time, on the bank of the Jinshui River outside the imperial city, there were painting boats going down the river, in which the drums and reeds were blown, and the sound of singing and dancing was transmitted into the palace.

At that time, some attendants were dissatisfied and said: "Your Majesty, our palace is deserted inside, but it is lively outside, singing and dancing!" ”

Zhao Zhen said meaningfully at that time: "It is precisely because our palace is deserted that the outside will be so lively!" If I am lively in the palace, I'm afraid it will be deserted outside! ”

This story has spread widely.

But no one can verify the truth or falsehood.

But there is one thing that is beyond doubt - whether Zhao Zhen is in history or in Zhao Xin's previous life, he has been in power for decades, without adding a tax to the people, without hurting businessmen, like Zhenzong, he changed the trade, tea law, and salt law in China for the sake of money, and he didn't even touch it.

A few years ago, Li Zhi's tea tax reform was personally stopped by him because it might hurt the interests of small farmers - even if Li Zhi's tea tax revenue increased greatly after the reform!

"Erlang ......" Zhao Zhen looked back at his son, stroked Zhao Xin's hair, and asked, "Do you think Aya is a little pedantic, even too much?" ”

He smiled and said to Zhao Xin: "I was raised by the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui, and the Empress Dowager taught me a truth since I was a child......

"I will tell Erlang this truth today......

"Great benevolence is foolish!"

"My family is rich in the world, and it is beneficial to all over the world!"

"The salt pond of the mountains is all for the benefit of my family!"

"Therefore, sometimes, it may be better to have to be pedantic and suffer a little loss......"

"Erlang, look, why does today's flying money work? Isn't Aya more pedantic? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen laughed.

The big Song Fei money is his proud work, the copper money is bulky, and the merchant is inconvenient to carry, so at the time of Taizong, the Great Song Dynasty has already begun to have the system of flying money, the merchant Jia in Beijing to the three divisions, apply for the deposit of coins, after the three divisions receive the application, count their coins, deduct the handling fee of 20 wen per 1,000 yuan, and then give a securities issued by the three divisions, and the merchant can take this securities to the local state military office for withdrawal, and can also be used to pay commercial taxes, buy salt, tea stickers, and wine citations.

But for a long time, businessmen have been very worried about changes in national policies and their savings have been lost, so the scale of flying money is not large.

It wasn't until Zhao Zhen took office that the big Song Fei money trading took off, and every day at the door of the Sansi Zuozang Yamen, there were businessmen lining up in a long line to vote.

As the merchants became more and more willing to deposit their wealth in Zuozang, the shortage of money in the Great Song Dynasty was alleviated.

More importantly, this also greatly reduces the cost of national fiscal and tax transfers.

Every year, the direct and indirect economic benefits that the country gets as many as millions of dollars are probably as many!

"Besides, what Yan Shu said has really been done, I am worried, I am afraid that in the end, it will be the small businessmen and small citizens who will be harmed, and the big Jia magnates will be unharmed, and even take the opportunity to make profits!" Zhao Zhen finally said meaningfully, he has read history books and knows that whenever the state intervenes in the private economy, it must be the powerless and powerless people who die, and the powerful officials and nobles must benefit!

Zhao Zhen listened, nodded, and said seriously: "Erlang remembers Aya's lesson!" ”

But in his heart, he knew that Zhao Zhen's approach was to appease and nurture adultery.

It's indulging the powerful and aristocrats!

It will only make those people more unscrupulous to encroach on national interests and embezzle national wealth.

If Zhao Xin deals with this matter......

Hey......

It's a pity that now, Zhao Xin can't call the shots, and he doesn't have the ability to do this well.

I can only endure it for the time being.

Later, we'll settle the ledger with those guys.

"Eat me, spit it out!"

"If you owe me, give me back!"

Zhao Zhen has a good temper, he doesn't want to care, and he is willing to suffer, that's Zhao Zhen's business.

But Zhao Xin is very short-tempered, his thoughts are not clear, and he wants to find someone to settle accounts, which is also his business!

And how to deal with these guys?

Zhao Xin already had a lot of experience in his previous life.

Aren't they very fond of playing capital games?

Then in the capital market, use legal procedures to kill them!

And no one in contemporary times can play a king with national resources and far beyond contemporary vision in the capital game.

"When I take power, I will let you know why the flowers are so red!" Zhao Xin rubbed his hands in his heart.
