6. Middle-class households
The money and cloth were rewarded to the Shenwei army in the capital, as well as the Shence army in other towns, and the soldiers quickly took Chang'an and the surrounding markets to consume, the money was still transferred in the Beijing division, and there was no loss of leaving the country, and the prices in Chang'an became more and more stable, and the emperor felt that the clouds that had accumulated in his heart for many days must be dispersed!
Then, when the emperor heard that Gao Yue used "coins to exchange", and did not need to carry a large number of copper coins and cloths, he could complete the transfer of taxes, he was even more praised, and specially called Pei Yanling over, saying that your household department should not engage in this exchange of pledges, and you should learn more from Gao Lang's experience in Yangzhou.
Pei Yanling only felt that his face seemed to be pierced by thousands of thorns, and he could only laugh, and he couldn't make sense if he wanted to say it.
So the emperor looked at his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little disdain and disappointment, and then said to himself: If the household department doesn't do it, my Daying Qionglin will do it, so that Huo Zhongtang can send the palace weaving and dyeing and treasures to sell, and then transport the physical native products obtained from the official villages in various places to Jingshi to sell, and use the two to exchange with Gaolang-like coins, how convenient, why didn't I think of it before?
"Although my poems are much stronger than Gao Lang's, Gao Lang's comprehension of money makes me ashamed, thank you Liu Yan, you can still leave me Tang such a young apprentice!"
"Your Majesty is really smart, the minister is foolish, and he risked his life to speak, since it is so quick to exchange coins, Your Majesty might as well order that thirty Wen will be drawn from each money during the exchange to exchange money, so ......"
Just when Pei Yanling thought that the emperor would praise him for his skill in making money, the emperor laughed at him and said: "If you draw money in the exchange of coins, then who dares to use them, isn't the coins equivalent to waste paper?" According to my opinion, not only can we not draw money, but we should stipulate that officials and ordinary people must give him some interest money if they send money to the treasury, so that there will be more and more real money in the treasury, and the coins will be truly valuable. Pei Qing - you just do some things for me to transfer the internal treasury and the national treasury, you don't understand the real affairs of the world. ”
After Pei Yanling returned to the house, he wrote a letter, leaving Wang Haichao with a bad scolding after leaving Yangzi, and Quan Zuo was incapable of venting.
The emperor deliberately read the newspaper of the Xia Huainan Jinju Academy, which published Gao Yue's actual plan to train Wu Yi's army, and realized that Gao Yue did not want to form a huge army of "70,000 masters and apprentices" at all, but only 18,000 Wu Yiya's army and 8,000 Huainan Zhenshu army, and the actual number of troops was 9,000 less than before Huainan, so his admiration for Gao Yue was better than before.
At this time, the emperor regretted it again and sent Li Qi to Runzhou, and kept the town navy.
But the arrow has left the string, and the emperor can only eat Coptis dumbly, burying the bitterness and guilt in the depths of his heart......
In September, after the fleet returned to Yangzhou, the merchants who disembarked received money from the pledge warehouse.
But these money and silk, but also in Huainan Kyushu circulation, or a considerable part of the merchants carried, to the surrounding domain trade, for a time Huainan and Biansong, Xu Si, Xiangdeng, Xuanrun, and its internal water and land trade routes greatly flourished, just the Yangtze Baisha tax field, just two months to collect 2,000 daicheng money.
At the north gate of Shouchun City and the bazaar at Chuanguan Lake alone, 900 yuan was also withdrawn in two months.
Alleviate the shortage of money, price balance, trade is developed, and the people, businessmen and government can all get benefits.
What's even more amazing is that Huainan's money and goods are abundant, and the phenomenon of people secretly casting privately has also been greatly reduced, so Gao Yue specially issued a notice, saying that every year the government is willing to take out 100,000 yuan of good money, and recycle the same amount of bad money back to the furnace.
The trend now is for good money to drive out bad money.
Not only that, Liu Zongyuan, who was painting in Gwangju, also heard that the price of the confiscated ownerless land in Caizhou was "warming", and many businessmen were willing to let Jiedu use Gaoyue's land to pay off his debts, and Gao Yue had already "repaid" 600,000 yuan of debts just by selling land at this stage.
Gao Yue, who is shrewd, took the opportunity to enclose other ownerless land, waiting for the merchants who had already bought the land to come to Caizhou to build mansions, stacks, and shops, and then wait for the opportunity to continue to sell the remaining land at a higher price.
In the military palace of Shugangzi City, Yangzhou, Gao Yue carried his hands behind his back, and Jiangdu made Han Yu follow him like a student, although he should have been in Jiangdu County, but now that the two taxes have been completed, the peasants are idle at the same time, and he is also idle, so he often comes here and accompanies Gao Yue.
Han Yu and Xue Tao got married, and Gao Yue also followed the example of Wei Gao, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and spent 200 yuan from his miscellaneous money, and asked his wife to give 20 horses of color silk as a gift to Han Yu and his wife.
At this time, Han Yue understood that Gao Yue was really good to himself, and he couldn't help but faintly feel: Gao Weigong, do you regard me as a disciple, and you want to pass on the mantle to me in the future?
Just like him and Liu Yan.
"Retreat, how do you calculate this problem?"
"That's the case, originally I Huainan Town had 20,000 Guanjian, tun in Yangzhou City, and 15,000 unity children, most of them were tun in Shouzhou and Chuzhou, Guanjian paid a total of about 28 yuan per person every year, and only had food and pickle money for unity, and about 12 yuan per person per year. If it is the original military expenditure of Huainan, it should be around 740,000 yuan. Now Wei Gong, you have innovated the military system, and the three armies of Wu Yi have a total of 18,000 generals, each of whom buys scepters and armor every year, plus food and clothing, about 45 yuan, and then 8,000 troops in the town, and 20 yuan per person per year. After Han Yu did some calculations, he reported the number and said, "Then the cost of military funds is 970,000 ......."
Gao Yue nodded a little heavily, and said to Han Yu, although I sold 9,000 soldiers, the actual burden has increased by more than 200,000 yuan.
This extra money, if the tax is raised and spread to the people, it will be enough for each household in Huainan to pay an extra half of the money - but Ben Dao can't bear to do such a thing, but fortunately, this year, the Holy Lord is kind and compassionate, as long as we provide 300,000 yuan, we can leave an additional 400,000 yuan, and I will use Caizhou land to offset almost half of the original debt, and I will find a way to do the rest. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to draw a good meridian boundary, balance the taxation, and include the hidden households and hidden fields, so that the increase in income by more than 200,000 yuan is not a problem.
Han Yu thought about it for a while, and said: "That is to say, once the anvil base book of Huainan Kyushu is made, the tax amount can be determined, and there is no need to measure and in, but to live within the means!" ”
Gao Yue bowed his head, saying that the anvil base book is equivalent to Huainan's national accounting book, once it is complete, it can really determine the level of the household according to the number of property, and the road is ready to be divided into seven classes, the first two classes are the strong situation household level, the middle third class is the middle household level, and the lower two classes are the poor household level. At that time, the tax money of the poor households can be exempted and apportioned to the strong households, of course, the strong households can also pay for the forced labor, so that the poor households can cope with the forced labor. In this way, the most benefited should be the middle and middle households. In addition, if the tax amount is stabilized and the income is within the limits of income, it can change the bad phenomenon of "only adding but not eliminating" the tax burden of the common people mentioned by Lu Jiu under the two tax laws, and it can also protect the financial resources of a large number of middle-class households from being lost.
"The goal of this road is to '300,000 households in the middle stream' in Huainan three years later!" To Han Yu, Gao Yue said his magnificent strategy.
