Wang Chuliang turned around and retreated, Gao Xun picked up the notebook on the shore and opened it for a cursory look, and was taken aback, and hurriedly called Wang Chuliang again

"Lord Wang, slow down."

"What else does Lord Xiangguo command?"

"Does the Sinong government allocate so many projects every year?"

"Back in Xiangguo, it's just an urgent need for expenses, accounting for only one-fifth of the annual expenditure."

"One in five!" Gao Xun was taken aback, he immediately thought that when Jiang Hai was in power, the finances had not been in his hands, but Bailiyan was transferred to Queen Xian and Jiang Hao's inner mansion was responsible for accounting, so there was a saying about internal and external accounts, and he did not know the operation of the accounts and expenditure details of Sinong Mansion.

Wang Chuliang handed over a notebook of 372 expenditures, which were roughly divided into military expenditures, official expenses, personnel expenditures, agricultural subsidy expenditures, education expenses, epidemic prevention expenditures, and so on.

After carefully reading each expense, Gao Xun couldn't help but be puzzled. In his view, all subsidized expenditures are dispensable, taking education expenses as an example, since ancient times, there has been no saying that the imperial court pays for the education of commoners, nor does the imperial court pay for the construction of roads and bridges in the village, let alone the reason that the imperial court pays to subsidize grain prices and the treasury collects grain at a loss.

"Lord Wang, did the Marquis of Yongxing approve it many years ago?"

"Lord Hui Xiangguo, the new regulations made by the Marquis of Yongxing year by year when he was in office, each clause has the need to allocate funds."

"This money is given to 21 villages, and the construction of bridges and roads is also compliant?"

"Qi Xiangguo, Yongxing Hou often said to get rich first to build roads, only the village through the road, in order to promote the transfer of commercial freight, change the closed situation.

Today, there are still many villages where roads are difficult and information is blocked, and because the roads are blocked, the poverty in the villages is exacerbated, and young laborers are all fleeing. As a result, the village could not afford to build roads, so it had to be allocated by the imperial court. After the road and bridge are completed, within five to ten years, the original funding for the construction of the bridge and paving the road will be recovered through local taxes, so it will not lose money in the long run. ”

"Since the young laborers in the village have fled, why not restrict them and prohibit random migration, so that there will be labor in such a place, and with labor, there will be land to cultivate, food and surplus power, and roads will not be built."

Although there has been an improvement in recent years, with the continuous expansion of industry and commerce in Xianguo, a large amount of labor is needed to produce goods, and the income from farming is not as much as work, and it is not tired, so more people are more willing to work.

If the flow of people is still prohibited as before, some places have been poor, and manpower is bound to the local area, and some places are rich and rich, but lack labor, so only by letting go of the flow of household registration can the market choose by itself.

Otherwise, the rich will have nowhere to spend and the poor will have no money to earn, and it will inevitably become an internal trouble, and over time, a large number of peasants will not be able to make ends meet, and a popular uprising will occur. ”

"Nowadays, the lowest yield per mu in Xianguo is more than two stones, and the most are four or five stones, seven or eight stones, why would they rebel."

"Back to Xiangguo, the grain is full, but you still need meat, oil, cloth, salt, soap, toothbrushes, paper, candles, and even oil, salt, sauce, sauce, vinegar and other altars and jars. After the grain increased greatly, the price of grain fell, and after the price of grain fell, the income from the sale was only enough for the people to barely live better, and they could eat a full stomach, but it was not very good, and it was far worse than in the city.

In addition, the purpose of the annual subsidy for grain purchase by the state treasury is to prevent the peasants from suffering from the low price of grain, so the state treasury needs to allocate funds to subsidize the purchase price of grain to maintain basic stability.

The production of all the necessary supplies requires manpower, so the economy can only operate in a stable and orderly manner if it is allowed to flow freely, the imperial court properly controls it, and the market decides for itself. ”

Wang Chuliang said a lot, Gao Xun suddenly found that he didn't understand, he waved his hand to signal Wang Chuliang to retreat, and sat quietly in Xiangguo's position thinking, he suddenly remembered that Bai Liyan had said before that he could not succeed. Now it seems that Bailiyan's revenge is gradually emerging.

Just as he was thinking, Xihuan came over, and Gao Xun hurriedly stepped forward to salute

"Her Royal Highness."

"That's it, Lord Xiangguo, excuse me."

"Thank you, Queen."

When Gao Xun put away the number of gifts, Xihuan said unhappily

"This palace asks you, where is the king now?"

"Queen Qiqi, after the king retired from the dynasty, he went to the Bailing Garden."

"Nonsense." Xihuan reprimanded angrily, and then said, "The main palace in Bailing Garden has already been there, and the king is not there at all. ”

"This ......"

Gao Xun frowned, he really didn't know where King Xian went, at this time Xihuan was already very impatient, she said again

"Lord Xiangguo immediately gave a warrant to the palace, and the palace wanted to send someone to Yongxing Xuanyun Ruitian Shuyang Lincheng. In addition, he was immediately removed from the post of the Eighth Town Army of Zhoukong and replaced by Mi Yuan, the king of Qing Xi. ”

Gao Xun was taken aback when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked

"Your Royal Highness, this matter should be decided by the king, and the harem should not interfere in politics."

Xihuan's face suddenly sank when he heard the news

"Gao Xiangguo, don't forget, without this palace, can you have today. You might as well tell Lord Xiangguo that the princes are about to move, and a battle of the Xianguo is probably inevitable, although my Jin Kingdom is ashamed to be inferior to the Xianguo, but without the support of my Jin Kingdom, the Xianguo will be destroyed sooner or later.

This palace advises Lord Gao, if you still want to be a little longer, just listen to the words of this palace, otherwise this palace will not be able to protect Lord Gao or the Xiangguo of Xianguo in the future. ”

Xihuan tore off the mask of hypocrisy, Gao Xun sneered, he said

"Hehe, the Xian army is invincible in the world, and the princes can't attack it anymore. Her Royal Highness the Queen, please go back, there is no need for the queen to worry about national affairs. ”

"Hmph, then we'll see, Lord Xiangguo!"

Xihuan didn't entangle, turned around and walked away without looking back. She knew that a storm would sweep across the country.

And Gao Xun's thoughts are not the same as Xihuan's, he must wait until the Son of Heaven's envoy arrives in Xianguo before he can negotiate with Xihuan, otherwise the Jin army will enter Yongxing City first, and the Son of Heaven will most likely get nothing in the end.

In order to delay the time to stabilize the situation, Gao Xun approved Wang Chuliang's request for appropriation, and then went straight to the palace library and imperial archives to find books related to the economy.

After Bailiyan took power, he successively enriched the books in the palace, covering all kinds of contents, but there was no science and technology and economy, so Gao Xun searched for a whole afternoon, but he did not find any books related to the commodity economy, so he quickly sent people to Xuanyun Yongxing and ordered the transfer of all the books in the libraries of the two places.

That night, Gao Xun's people rushed to Yongxing first, and when they heard that Gao Xun wanted to transfer the library books, they were immediately sternly rejected by Su Hong and others, and the same was true in Xuanyun City, Jiang Jie Xue Bolin also refused the request of the visitor, and called the Luhou Lu Gao Mansion all the way.

Gao Xun received a refusal reply from the phone call that night, and immediately ordered Su Hong to be dismissed from his post and assigned someone else to serve as the county lieutenant of Yongxing Taishouhe. So on the second day, Su Hong did not make any resistance, handed over the Yongxing defense, and Gao Xun began to carry Yongxing's books.

And Jiang Jie has a relationship with Xue Bolin, and Xue Bolin is the backstage of Xue Chong, the Marquis of Luhou, and moving Jiang Jie is moving Xue Bolin, and at the same time, Jiang Jie is the director of the military battalion, implicating the relationship between the whole army, and he can't act rashly.

Things have just begun to develop here, although Jiang Yu also went to the court every day after succeeding to the throne, but the government affairs were handed over to the cabinet.

This move is very powerful, because although the cabinet is divided into two factions, the Jiang Yu faction does not occupy the peak, so the cabinet system has still not been broken, and although Bailiyan has been removed from his position, the system supported by Bailiyan is still operating, so to abolish the cabinet system, gradually restore the foreign dynasty system, and restore the monarch's rights, it is necessary to crack down on the party members who dismantled Bailiyan, as well as the system established.

Therefore, Xihuan did not see Jiang Zhen's figure, precisely because Jiang Zhen was secretly planning another earth-shattering event. At his instigation, Li Xu, the imperial historian, gathered the imperial history to secretly investigate all the accounts since Bailiyan took power, of course, what they found were all open accounts, and the secret accounts were in Bailiyan's hands.

But one thing is certain, it is a fact that the iron and steel pig iron production in Yongxing City does not match all the accounts, so Jiang Yu now has to figure out how much steel and pig iron Bailiyan has "hacked" at the bottom, and then make a big vote.

The news of Bai Liyan's house arrest reached the mansion of the Gongliang clan of Zhiguo in early March, and Gongliang Xu was not affected because he came to report the funeral. When he was about to return at the end of January, he was persuaded by his father Gongliangxiu to postpone and wait for the situation to clear up before returning to China, but he waited for the news that Bailiyan was under house arrest.

"Father, father-in-law, he'll be fine."

Gongliangxu asked Gongliangxiu, he didn't see it as clearly as his father Gongliangxiu at this point.

"It's hard to say, but judging from the news, your mother-in-law didn't react violently, I think it should be that Bailiyan has already made arrangements, otherwise, with your father-in-law's character, he must have entered the Xianwang Palace and set up someone else as the king. Now it seems that your father-in-law doesn't want to shed blood, so just wait. ”

Gongliangxiu is actually not worried about Bailiyan now, all the information shows that Bailiyan has been standing still, which reminds him of the time when he was on the southern expedition, Bailiyan could finally make a splash every time he stood still, and this time would not be an exception, but what he was really worried about was his eldest brother.

Gongliang Chen was overjoyed after hearing the news that Bai Liyan was under house arrest, and he was already gearing up to fall into the stone fire of the well, so he couldn't take risks easily at this time.

When the forces of all parties were about to move, the eldest grandson was not idle, Zhang Jie was instructed by Cao Qiong, the lord of the eldest grandson, to ask Xianguo for the return of the three counties of Tiansangbei and Sangnan. Of course, with the current capital of the eldest grandson, this qualification is not enough at all, so Zhang Jie is still waiting for one person, that is, Boyuan Jun Ji Feng.

The thief was still on his way to Xianguo, so Zhang Jie's order could not be put into action. But other forces have already scrambled to open their mouths of blood, eating ugly and carving up the wealth of the Xian country.

Xihuan sent Fang Bo, Gu Chen and others to secretly and actively work with them, making appointments with technicians in medical education, industrial and scientific research, and promising to lure them to move out of Xianguo immediately to serve in the Jin State with heavy money, and those who did not comply would be intimidated at least and persecuted with personal injury.

At the same time, the 150,000 Northern Army of the Jin State stationed in Suidang County surrounded the Eighth Town Army of Zhoukong, and 100,000 people were on the way to the Lingling without notification, and it seemed that a great war was about to break out.

In early March, Gao Xun was surprised after a cursory look at the Yongxing book, there are countless kinds of disciplines, and the content of them is unprecedented, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a book from heaven.

At the same time, Wang Juan's futures began to plummet, it took only seven days, all commodity prices fell to 20 percent of the price in early February, the price of iron is a cliff-like fall, falling to 2 percent of the original price, the futures market is in mourning, more than 100 people jump off the city every day in the city, five consecutive days of collapse triggered a suicide frenzy, more than 800 people committed suicide in various ways, the stock market futures have become a vent for greed and futures.

In the same month, the fiefdom movement that took place in hundreds of counties in 14 counties greatly dampened the peasants' trust in the imperial court, and the huge change in land policy created more than 3 million landless people in almost one month, and spread from agriculture to commerce, through commerce to the supply of industrial raw materials, and by April the commerce in each county turned from expansion to contraction, from benign inflation to vicious deflation.

Public opinion in various places is like snowflakes and half flies to Chenling, fortunately, only the eastern county of the capital county has opened the telephone and cable telegraph, if the telephone is opened, most of the switchboard has been blown up at this time.
