"It's okay, just say it. Even if there is indeed a violation www.biquge.info of the law, as long as it is not specifically implemented, but only verbally, then it will be fine, Mr. Wen Miao will not treat you like this. ”

Yan Pu was surprised to hear his lord speak like this, the lord obviously didn't look like a good person.

Yang Song's eyes lit up when he heard this, so he said: "Lord, I think about it, don't we have money coupons and food stamps in Shuzhong, but now in fact, you can also buy food with money coupons, and the subordinates mean that you can do without food stamps, and all of them will be replaced with money coupons, so that there will be a lot more room for maneuver." Even in the future, including taxes and so on, the people can just pay money coupons, and avoid the trouble of statistical calculations. ”

"No way!" Before Liu Zhang could speak, Yan Pu first objected.

There are now two kinds of valuable documents in Shuzhong, one is money coupons and the other is grain stamps.

However, the issuance of these two types of documents is stipulated, and it is not arbitrary and arbitrary. If you can print it casually, Yang Song doesn't have to come to Liu Zhang, you can just print money and food stamps at home.

Like money coupons, you can only receive them when you participate in government engineering projects, and this is the salary.

Before Liu Zhang, Shuzhong, like other places, was sent to serve as a servant, and the government only managed two meals at most. After Liu Zhang came, he abolished forced labor, but he built a lot of construction and carried out construction everywhere, and the remuneration paid to the people was money and food. But the government had no money and no food, so it became an IOU, and then the IOU evolved into money and food stamps.

Now, however, money and food stamps are completely separated. Work for the government, no more food coupons, only money coupons. As for the grain stamps, there are only two situations, one is that the people deposit the surplus grain at home in the granary of the official family, and the official family issues the corresponding grain stamps, which is equivalent to a grain storage certificate. Another situation is that the public servants of the government no longer pay money and food, but only money and food stamps. For example, an official with an official rank of 400 stone will directly issue you a grain coupon of 200 stone, and then issue you a money coupon worth 200 stone of grain, and it will be fine. The official salaries of the Eastern Han Dynasty were half money and half grain, half money, and half grain.

Of course, the people could also sell their grain to the government instead of storing it in the government. If you sell it to the government, you get money stamps, and if you deposit it to the government, you get food stamps. Of course, if you save it, the government will charge a part of the loss as a management fee. However, this loss is now very low.

The most fundamental difference between money stamps and food stamps is that food stamps can be taken directly to the grain station of the government to receive grain, while money stamps can be used to buy grain. If you buy it, the price fluctuates, but if you get it, the face value is as much as it is.

Grain stamps are hard currency, and the total amount of grain stamps issued is based on the land endowment and the grain stored by the people, and is less than or equal to the actual grain stock of the government.

Money coupons are now linked to the subscription of some in-demand commodities, so money coupons are currently more volatile.

Now, Hanzhong has come up with a new policy of exchanging skin for grain, which has also begun to seriously threaten the grain level of Yizhou's stockpile, and the stockpile of grain is rapidly decreasing.

Yang Song's proposal to abolish grain stamps and unify them into money coupons is actually very well-intentioned.

First of all, without food stamps, there is no need to worry about the grain and food stamps in the grain depot not being able to make ends meet.

Secondly, after exchanging all the money coupons, the whole money coupon plate will be larger, which is more suitable for Yang Song to toss back and forth in the middle.

"Not yet." Liu Zhang also made it clear that he was against it.

Liu Zhang's opposition is because grain is now the lifeblood of the people, and if it is exchanged for money coupons, it is easy to be difficult to control, and when the time comes, it is possible that with a lot of money, it may not be able to buy grain, and it is easy to make a big mess. If you use food stamps now, it is directly linked to grain, so it is more stable. If there is food, there will be no chaos.

In troubled times, food is the foundation, Liu Zhang is still relatively sober and calm in this regard, and he is still not confused.

Therefore, he wants to forcibly maintain the policy of high grain prices, just to ensure that Yizhou's grain does not flow out, and that Yizhou does not lack grain. Therefore, he is certainly not willing to take any risk that may shake the foundation of Yizhou's grain.

As for Hanzhong's skin-for-grain policy, it can be controlled and can be suspended at any time.

"Then there will only be a large number of money coupons." Yang Song said there was nothing else to do.

It is also impossible to issue money coupons indiscriminately, Liu Zhang clearly stipulates that Yizhou's money coupons are linked to engineering projects, and only when there is labor to pay, can money coupons be produced, and finally there must be real labor results, that is, the achievements of engineering projects, such as Chengdu's latrines, such as tap water systems, and so on.

"As a government agency, if you want to make money quickly and legally, there are too many ways."

Liu Zhang just started the beginning, not only Yang Song's eyes were staring at him with sparkling eyes, but even Yan Pu's eyes widened, ready to see how this unscrupulous lord was going to steal the people's fat and people's ointment, so he wanted to follow Yang Song for a trip, and this was the purpose.

"Generally speaking, the government's income is mainly taxes. If you want to increase the income of the field endowment, the focus is to encourage the people to open up more wasteland, and if there is more land, the more land the official family will receive. Aside from the field endowment, then, the focus is on taxes. There are two ways to raise tax revenues without raising taxes. First, let the tax pay more. The simplest and most effective way to make more taxpayers pay more is to encourage business, and the more businessmen there are, the more people who pay taxes. The second is to speed up the circulation of goods and make the transaction of goods more frequent. Under normal circumstances, the government has to collect taxes once the goods are traded, so the more transactions there are, the more taxes the government will definitely collect. For example, if a jar of wine is sold to a retailer by a wholesaler, by a retailer to a restaurant, and by a restaurant to a diner, then this jar of wine is equivalent to being sold three times, and the government has collected taxes three times.

In general, if we want to increase government revenue, it is necessary to encourage commerce, provide as much convenience as possible for commerce, and allow goods to flow quickly. The faster the flow, the more revenue the government will have. This depends on the level of your economic management.

In order to speed up the liquidity of commodities, I would like to consider issuing money coupons tied to gold and silver. Consideration could be given to adopting a method similar to that of food stamps, in which the government set up a treasury and welcomed the people to deposit gold and silver money, and the government issued money coupons as proof. In this way, money and money will begin to circulate in commercial transactions in an all-round way, and the use of money to trade goods instead of gold and silver will inevitably greatly accelerate the speed of transactions and promote the prosperity of commerce. The more prosperous the business, the more money the government will collect.

Of course, the treasury and grain depot must choose good people and set up a good management system, so as not to let people guard and steal from themselves. (To be continued.) )
