Chapter 651: Lu Qian's Daily
There is no ability of his brother in the seed master, although the race master is able to make up for the third class of service because of the meritorious service of the ancestors [this is a martial profession], but through the lock hall and the examination, he was able to enter the career of a civil official. After all, the old species is the person who apprenticed to Zhang Zai in Guanzhong in the early years, and he is much stronger than the small species who has always been mixed in the position of military attaché.
The division was long in the army, and he guarded the northwest frontier for a long time.
But his current life is much more comfortable than that of his brother Planter. At this moment, the latter was already eager to spurt out a mouthful of blood, and he was dying. The Wu Province was the spicy eyes of Geng Nanzhong in front of him.
Guangnan East Road, Nanxiong Prefecture Ya.
"Geng Xiang, doesn't he know that there are not many soldiers, but he is fine?" The seventy-year-old must be angry and shouted loudly.
There are 20,000 or 30,000 people concentrated in Guangnan group training, but all of them are a rabble. The people who lead the troops are mostly literati and Confucian scholars, and the people of this generation take the initiative to fight, and there is no other way than to find death.
In this way, from the perspective of the planting master, the regimental training army only needs to defend with peace of mind, why should it step out of the Meiling Ancient Road, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, to attack the Nan'an army north of the Great Yuling? Could it be that taking it there will turn the current situation into a safe one?
Not to mention that the soldiers attacked, and the outcome of the battle was unpredictable, who did Geng Nanzhong take advantage of to be so angry? Think you have a chance to win?
"The Privy Counsellor wants to increase the prestige of the enemy and destroy his own spirit. The northern rebellion of the Nan'an Army is only 2,000 people, and half of Thailand is a native soldier in southern Hunan, so what is enough? I Nanxiong now has more than 50,000 Guangnan Jianrui, and it is easy to destroy it. Zhang Jun shouted first.
Geng Nanzhong once raised the Guangnan East Road Prison, and there were many old ones on the East Guangnan Road, and many of the 20,000 or 30,000 regiments gathered here for training were raised by him. In terms of numbers, it can be described as strong. It is also best to brag about the literati and celebrities, and after reading some military books, they only think that they are both civil and military.
There are many people who compare themselves with Chen Qingzhi and Wei Rui. Chen Qingzhi, who was deeply respected by the Taizu of later generations, did not look at the 7,000 people, from the north of Haoxian County to Luoyang, fought 47 times before and after, 32 Kecheng, and broke hundreds of thousands of northern troops, and he was unstoppable. But a man cannot shoot arrows or ride a horse.
And what about Wei Rui? That's even more fantastic. In the army, he also dressed like a Confucian student, and even when he was in battle, he often wore loose official uniforms and rode in a car, holding a bamboo ruyi to direct the advance and retreat. This is simply the scene that Song Ru dreamed of, and he pretended to be forced to the extreme.
It's just that Wei Rui and Chen Qingzhi are really awesome, but now Song Ru is more of a fool above the battle array.
And that Geng Nanzhong was also the original planner of the strategy of group training. The Qi army trained thousands of soldiers in the Shonan Slaughter Regiment, and when the news came, Guangnan was shocked. The group exercises that were originally surging in various places were suddenly curbed. This is extremely intolerable to Geng Nanzhong.
He had to fight back as soon as possible. On the front of Lianzhou and Shaozhou, there are Qi troops gathered, and he doesn't dare to provoke easily, so he can only pick up the persimmon and pinch it softly, and pick the Nan'an army.
In the heart of the seed master, there was a feeling that Ge Shuhan was "crying out of the pass" under the city of Tongguan in the former Tang Dynasty.
But all this has nothing to do with the seed division, and even the general policy of the Qi army is not hindered in the slightest. Even if the Guangnan regiment can successfully capture the Nan'an Army and annihilate the 2,000 defenders, it will be useless to deal with the general trend of the world.
Just like in the Forbidden City, in the Wenhua Palace, Lu Qian was listening to reports and handling official business.
"Your Majesty, the tax of this spring's shipping department has been counted and verified, and the tariff is 1.7 million guan, and 53,249 catties of spices, 17 pearls, 10 agates and 166 ivory, 50 catties of rhino horn, and 214 corals." Xue Shao didn't read the excerpt at all, and he was already familiar with some of the numbers inside.
The customs tax of Qi is common to goods and goods, and generally speaking, merchants are willing to pay money rather than take goods to top. There must also be tax evasion, but when this kind of black goods is traded, the official deed on the surface cannot be taken, and the seller had better pray that the people he meets are trustworthy.
Lu Qian heard this and smiled: "Yes, in just one season, there are more than two million pieces of goods, and the ship division has a lot to do." "The 1.7 million yuan in taxes is not all from overseas merchants, and many of them are domestic maritime trade that is interconnected between the north and the south. But so what? Just pay the money. And that's just one season!
"How much grain is left in the treasury?" Lu Qian went to ask Jiang Jing again.
The latter replied: "The state has 3.7 million stone of grain. "This is a granary directly under the central government, not a granary of the local state capital. It's not a lot, but it's enough. In another month, it will be time to harvest the summer grain.
"One hundred and fifty thousand pieces of cotton; 700,000 horses of linen; 300,000 horses of silk; 3,300 stone of cotton wool and 1,500 stone of tea. "Of course, this doesn't exhaust all the classifications.
"There are 19,300,000 in the record. Among them, 15.5 million copper coins. 3,800,000 ...... of gold and silver"
This number seems to be a lot, but in fact it is not very useful, and it is also on a safety line. Otherwise, then calculate how much the monthly salary of the entire Daqi is, that number can be terrifying.
Many of Lu Qian's current territories have not yet entered the harvest period, so he can only press the flowers. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not even be enough to maintain military expenses. Therefore, he turned his head to look at Zhu Gui. "The case of the puppet Song Imperial City Division, how is it being handled now?" Zhu Gui reported before, and it involved a group of people.
"Back to Your Majesty, the security bureaus in various places have been played, and a total of 651 thieves have been killed and arrested, and most of the leaders have been arrested, involving one hundred and three local gentry and merchants, and some are being investigated sporadically." Zhu Gui hurriedly bowed back.
"Pretty much that's fine. Don't overdo it, don't further expand the implication. Lu Qian said.
Zhu Gui said that he was retreating. This brings us to the next topic, the promotion of new coins.
This gold and silver coin has been promoted for several years, and it can be said that the effect is very good. As the former said, the weight and fineness of gold and silver coins are uniform, and the number of uses is clear at a glance.
And what about the gold and silver ingots of the people? Or to change it to gold and silver pieces, such as the gold and silver ingots on the TV series, which are rare in reality. And the ingots were also in the Mengyuan period.
The folk pieces of silver and broken gold are of different sizes, weights, and fineness. The copper coins have always been exchanged for one or two lines of silver, and the pattern silver is a kind of standard silver in the current era, and the fineness is about ninety-five. Whoever buys or sells traffic with a silver nugget of only ninety percent or even ninety percent of its fineness is more than a little time-consuming and laborious.
There are many silver taels of different colors circulating in the world, including yuan silk, green silk, white silk, water silk, west silk, stone silk, willow silk, camellia, fennel, single tilt, double tilt and so on. This is indeed a major obstacle to the circulation of precious metals such as gold and silver in reality. At present, the Luqi Bank will turn these different types of precious metals that need to be converted into a unified national gold and silver coin, which is not only a convenience.
"Returning to your Majesty, copper dollars and gold and silver coins have been in the world for a long time, and they were first issued as officials and soldiers, so they are very reputable among the people. At the same time, the prestige of the imperial court is rising, and its circulation is gradually increasing, and the response is very good. "Although it has not yet replaced copper coins, it has alleviated the pressure caused by the money shortage to a certain extent.
This is a real money shortage. The exchange rate of silver and copper, which could not be shaken, changed from 1:1000 to 1:900 after last year, and even climbed further down to 1:850. Although this was limited to Qilu and was quickly restored to its original state. When it comes to paper money, because it has the endorsement of the government, the value of the currency has always been strong. This is like a good advertisement, opening up a new space for the banknote market.
This situation only lasted for two months, because as soon as this situation came out, the silver coins of the Central Plains, northern Hebei, and Huainan were all circulated. If so, it was restored to its original state a year ago, and Lu Qian took the opportunity to make a small profit.
However, the money shortage in the land of Qilu has not been substantially solved. Chai Jin, who supervised the bank, proposed to print more banknotes, but Lu Qian vetoed it. He had high hopes for the banknote, and he did not dare to let it suffer the slightest setback. In that case, he is more inclined to maintain stability. Who called him ignorant of economics? Because we don't understand, we have awe.
"In the spring of this year, branches and sub-branches in various places collected 1,140,000 taels of gold and silver, 130,000 taels of gold and 815,000 taels of silver. Compared with the previous quarter, the year-on-year increase was 22.7%. The last expression is obviously the influence of Lu Qian.
"What is the situation of turning gold, silver, and copper into private casting and counterfeiting?" Lu Qian asked again.
"If it's profitable, someone is at risk. However, under the severe punishment of the law, who is not afraid? This spring, more than 100 people have been arrested for illegally minting gold and silver coins, and more than 200 counterfeiters have been arrested. This kind of thing, the minister thinks that there may be sporadic things, but there are absolutely no large-scale people. "Chai Jin had played private casting at the beginning, and he was very clear about the profits and convenience here. And now the copper coins have become gold and silver coins, and the profits during this period are so large that people can make people desperate.
After the discussion of one thing, there is another matter, this is Lu Qian's daily business.
There are many important things in it, such as the demarcation of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and the officials of the main hall, such as the quarterly summary of the tax and household departments, but there are also many miscellaneous matters.
"Huang Qianshan."
"The minister is here."
"You are by my side, and you have many meritorious deeds, so you must not be rewarded." Lu Qian was holding a note in his hand, but it was sent by Zong Ze, and it marked the vacancies one by one and the corresponding state capital. County-level officials don't need Lu Qian to worry about.
"I have two options here, one in Suzhou and the other in Mingzhou. What decision do you want to make? Lu Qian didn't give Huang Qianshan extra time, which was actually a test of his gaze.
That Mingzhou is Ningbo, although the reputation is far less than Suzhou, but in the early days, Zhao and Song opened many companies, but the most famous of them are Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Mingzhou, which can be called China's three major foreign trade ports today.
In particular, Lu Qi's current trade policy has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Fanshang. It must be known that although Zhao and Song Dynasty had many preferential treatments for Fanshang in the early days, such as setting up a huge Fanshi market in various foreign trade ports, it was called "Fanshi", and the settlement of Fanshang was "Fanfang" (also known as "Fanxiang"). Fanfang was even allowed to set up a "Fanxue". Zhao Song also formulated the "Penalty for Crimes of Fanshang", and those who committed crimes and crimes above the crime of migration were decided by the magistrate; The crime of cane was examined and verified by the local government, and then sent to the chief for punishment according to the management of overseas countries, because in the Song Dynasty, the crime of cane was beaten on the buttocks, and overseas countries were beaten on the back.
However, Lu Qi abolished Fanfang, abolished the punishment for Fanshang's crimes, and banned missionaries. In terms of attitude, it is different from Zhao Song. Tariffs were also set, which was very painful.
However, the strictness of the judiciary is exchanged for the freedom of commerce.
In the past, foreign trade and imported goods into China had to be "extracted" (taxed) and "bomaied" (requisitioned) by the local municipal shipping department in accordance with regulations. Extraction is tax; Bomai means that the government buys most of the imported goods at a low price, and then organizes the transportation of goods, and the government controls their circulation and trading.
The Zhao and Song governments imposed a ban on the bulk of imported goods, that is, the government monopolized the distribution of most imported goods in order to obtain huge profits. The remaining small part of the imported goods are sold by Chinese and foreign foreign merchants themselves.
But now there are no such restrictions. It is conceivable that in the coming years, Sino-foreign trade will inevitably usher in an unprecedented period of prosperity.
Mingzhou, which is near the sea, is not as good as Suzhou now, but it may not be inferior to Suzhou in the future, and it may even surpass Suzhou.
"The minister is willing to go to Mingzhou!" Huang Qianshan said excitedly. He finally waited for the release!
