Chapter 102: Sang Hong Sheep (1)
Dasi Nong, Qin called the history of Su Nei, Han because of it, the first year of the emperor and then the first year of the greater farmer, now the first year of the beginning of the Taichu is more great Sinong.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the country's economy has been jointly managed by Sinong and Shaofu.
The responsibilities and powers of the two are also clearly separated.
Dasi Nong was in charge of the world's money valley and provided for the daily expenses of the state, while the Shaofu held the tax of the salt pond in the mountains, served the royal family, presided over the construction of the palace and cemetery projects, and worked part-time in weapon manufacturing by the way.
And today's Han Dasi Nong Yamen is a terrifying bureaucracy so large that you can suffocate.
Its energy is beyond your imagination.
Zhang Yue's historical materials told him.
It is this terrible institution that supports and props up the operation of the war machine of the Han Empire.
Especially after Sang Hongyang presided over the Great Si Nong, this institution undertook almost most of the supply of war funds.
It is recorded in the Hanshu "Food and Goods Chronicle" that Zhangye and Jiuquan counties were initially placed, and Shuofang, Xihe, and Hexi opened fields in Shangjun. 600,000 people were repelled to fight in the fields, and China was fed with grain, three thousand miles from afar, and more than a thousand miles from near, all of which were relied on to Dasi Nong.
He also said: Han Lian sent troops to the age of three...... Fei all rely on the big farmers, and the big farmers are given the help of salt and iron......
Zhang Chang, the prime minister of the Zhao Emperor period, once wrote to Emperor Zhao and said: In the past, the first emperor conquered the four yi, and the army was more than 30 years, and the people still did not add to the army and had enough troops.
Although it is not directly said, it is all the credit of Sang Hongyang.
But it is almost equivalent to acknowledging the merits of Sang Hongyang and his Dasi Nong system.
And today's son is a world-famous wealth boy.
When he was in his prime, he sealed Mount Tai in the east, toured the Great Wall in the north, and extorted more than 100,000 soldiers.
Along the way, money was thrown everywhere.
Not only did they exempt the people of the counties they passed from paying taxes that year, but they also rewarded the local people and officials lavishly.
Just in the first year of Yuan Feng, on the way to seal Mount Tai, he rewarded a total of one million pieces of cloth and tens of thousands of five-baht coins to go out.
And these expenses are all paid for by Dasi Nong.
So here's the problem.
How did the Dasi Nong Yamen meet the country's military expenditures and the emperor's money everywhere without increasing the land tax? (The field tax and the oral tax in the Han Dynasty were separated, the former belonged to the Dasi Nong, and the latter belonged to the income of the Shaofu, and the money of the Shaofu was the emperor's private money to be used to repair the palace and the emperor's mausoleum, basically in but without leaving...... )
The answer is to slaughter the fat sheep!
Since Wenjing, because the politicians of the ruling Huang Lao School have pursued the concept of quiet and inaction, advocated a small government and a big society, and were willing to give the people the space to decide and play freely.
As a result, the world's industrial, commercial and handicraft industries flourished and developed rapidly.
There are tens of thousands of tycoons in almost every county.
Wealthy businessmen, such as Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying, poured out the manpower of a place, gathered the wealth of the world, and became richer than the princes.
There are also powerful usury merchants who run rampant in the world, driving thousands of dogs to lend money everywhere to collect debts.
But these scum refuse to pay taxes and try their best to evade taxes.
At the time of the literary scene, the state was too lazy to care about them.
Let them be free.
However, when he ascended the throne and launched a war against the Xiongnu, the situation changed.
The rulers went from not caring what the people were doing at home (as long as they didn't break the law) to the sworn enemies of the merchants, Confucianism and Legalism.
So, under an order, there were countless souls.
A large number of craftsmen and wealthy merchants disappeared in an instant.
Their property, land, and means of production were all confiscated.
Money and grain were filled into the treasury, houses and land, and the poor were faked.
Social contradictions were greatly reduced in an instant, and state revenues soared.
Although Yang Ke, who presided over the lawsuit, is now dead, the person who was responsible for the distribution of confiscated land and fake public land at that time was the current Shi Sanghong Yang of Zhisu.
So far, the Dasi Nong Yamen under the command of Sang Hongyang is still implementing the policy of 'fake people's public land'.
In the roster of the Dasi Nong Yamen, there are also millions of acres of public land.
At this moment, Zhang Yue was standing at the door of the Dasi Nong's official residence, looking up at the official office in front of him, a little surprised.
In his mind, this great Si Nong Yamen holds the world's wealth and grasps the lifeblood of the country's economy.
Not to mention that the yamen is splendid, at least it has to be repaired beautifully.
But the result ......
The official residence in front of him looks a little dilapidated.
Although it looks very large and there are many guards at the gate, the walls and gates of the yamen are probably not as magnificent as an ordinary county yamen in Guanzhong.
Liu Jin was also dumbfounded.
I can't believe my eyes.
"This is the Dasi Nong Yamen?" He asked.
"Your Highness, this place is the Great Si Nong Yamen!" Both left and right replied.
Liu Jin's face sank instantly.
Chang'an Jiuqing Residence, he has been to several.
The most luxurious is the Shaofu Yamen in the Weiyang Palace, and the momentum is simply written on the door of the head: moat.
Even if it is the Dahonglu Yamen with the least authority and resources among the Jiuqing Divisions, it is also the red wall of the Zhumen, and the attic water pavilion is continuous.
Da Honglu even spent money for himself and his officials to build a cellar similar to the Ling Room of Weiyang Palace, which was specially used to store ice cubes for the purpose of cooling off in midsummer.
However, now he found that the great Sinong Yamen, who had mastered the wealth of the country and was criticized by countless people as a 'traitor and thief', 'troubled the country' and 'heinous crime', was frugal and unreasonable.
"Sang Neishi's life is the most obedient to Pingjin and waiting...... someone whispered: "So, since he became an official, he has been routinely frugal...... The minister had heard that the clothes of Sang Neishi and his family were obtained by Mrs. Sang and her servants to raise silkworms and weave silk......"
"Then why didn't you talk to Gu before......" Liu Jin suddenly turned around and stared at the man.
When the other party heard this, his hands and feet trembled, and he bowed: "The minister is guilty of death!" ”
Liu Jin glanced at the other party deeply, and then sighed weakly.
He knew that this person couldn't be blamed for this, this person was just a small character, a small minion.
"Get up...... he waved his hand, then looked at Zhang Yue, and said, "Zhang Shizhong, let's go and meet Sang Neishi together!" ”
"No!" Zhang Yue bowed his hand and said: "I am willing to obey the king's order!" ”
…………………………………………………………
In the official office of Dasi Nong, Sang Hongyang was working on a batch of official documents.
He was a typical workaholic.
For a whole year, I gave up my days off and chose to work.
It is this crazy state of work and super work ability that has enabled him to change the political situation of the government and the opposition and the situation of the country no matter how the situation changes since the third year of Yuanzhen.
This great Si Nong Yamen is his hall of words.
Even last year, because his nephew Sang Sheng colluded with Wei's children outside under his banner, committed adultery, and even murdered others.
Although the Son of Heaven dismissed him from the post of Grand Si Nong, he was demoted to the rank of Governor of Su.
However, no new Grand Si Nong was appointed.
In other words, although he was demoted, his status and power remained the same.
In fact, it is a penalty of three glasses of wine, and it is not an example.
So much so that the world does not call him Sang Du Wei, but Sang Neishi.
His official position as the governor of Su is directly known as the 'internal history of governing Su'.
Sang Hongyang was thinking about how to deal with these official documents in front of him, when suddenly one of his cronies and retainers walked up to him lightly and said, "My lord, the eldest grandson of the emperor and Zhang Zizhong are at the door of the official residence, please see you!" ”
When Sang Hongyang heard this, he first shook his head, and then jumped up excitedly like a teenager who was going on a blind date: "Quickly notify the official offices and go out with me!" ”
O eldest grandson!
This is the eldest grandson of the emperor!
Sang Hongyang dreamed of meeting and talking to someone.
Unfortunately, it has not been possible.
Now the other party has sent it to the door by himself?
That's great!
Sang Hongyang has a belly of things he wants to say to the other party.
The work of the Dasi Nong Yamen and the matter of the salt and iron system, he needs to give a good account to the future supreme of the country.
Because......
The system of resale and leveling of salt and iron must not be changed.
If you move, there will be a big problem!
As the country's money bag, Sang Hongyang knows too well how much the Han family relies on salt and iron income and flat commercial taxes.
Without these revenues, the land tax alone.
The Han family may not even be able to send it out!
It's a pity that the crown prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor have always been surrounded by the Guliang school.
He tried his best, but he couldn't get in touch, let alone find an opportunity to have a good talk.
Now, the eldest grandson of the emperor has come to the door in person?
It's a godsend!
As for that, what is the waiter?
Perhaps more important......
But compared to the emperor's eldest grandson, there is no doubt that it is a passer-by, who was directly filtered out by Sang Hongyang.
