"Your Majesty......"

"Isn't it too much for millions?"

"Your Majesty think twice!"

In the main hall of Qionglin Palace, as soon as several ministers heard the "million-year-old coin", they all shouted loudly.

Millions of coins are not a small amount! Before the Great Song Dynasty, the annual coin given to the Liao State was only 500,000, and it was only 300,000 before Chongxi added coins.

Now that Zhao Ji is opening his mouth, he really doesn't take the people's fat and people's ointment of the Great Song Dynasty seriously.

Wu Haode did not dare to accept this order. He was actually the most involved official during this period of time! Because he was the uncle of Wu Yijiu, the leader of the Eastern Thief (Zhou State).

Such a person has not been caught and cut off his brain, how can he still be an official?

Even he felt that it was inappropriate, and he pretended to be sick for a while. As a result, as soon as he pretended to be sick, Zhao Ji went out of the palace to visit that night. Seeing that Wu Haode was in good spirits, he didn't blame him, and he was very happy! Seeing Wu Haode's two sons, he was even more happy, and he issued an order to give officials at that time!

It's really a great emperor!

At this time, Wu Haode was embarrassed to pretend to be sick anymore, so he had to obediently go to the court to be an official......

Zhao Ji snorted, and his tone was already calm: "You courtiers know where the gap between this dynasty and the Zhou state is!" If you don't know, just ask He Li, just go and read the "Retro Newspaper", it is very clear! ”

was reprimanded by Zhao Jiyi, and the ministers below all shut up.

Now the New Deal reform of the Great Song Dynasty is much more beneficial than the New Deal of the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty in history, because the Great Song Dynasty has a friendly state of "the same race and the same language" that can be referenced.

Compared with the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Zhou, it is clear where the strength is and where the weakness is.

According to He Li, Chen Dong, and Zhang Jun, what the Great Song Dynasty was stronger than the Great Zhou was that "the road to the rise of the cold door was smooth", that is, it had a perfect imperial examination system.

And what the Great Zhou is stronger than the Great Song Dynasty is "suppressing the annexation and granting military fields". This national policy allows Zhou Guodi to "grow" soldiers!

Therefore, the Zhou State could obtain hundreds of thousands of low-cost, high-quality and high-morale soldiers in wartime.

The Great Song had to collect income from the land through taxation, which they then used to hire soldiers. There are many intermediate links in this process, with layers of deductions, corruption of officials, and finally a sharp discount on the money that can be used to hire soldiers.

For example, the Zhou State now has more than 300,000 military citizens, and under extreme circumstances, it can mobilize an army of 700,000 to 1 million!

And it was impossible for the Song court to receive taxes from at least 600 million acres of land that could employ 700,000 new soldiers...... On average, a new army needs 50 taels a year (not counting officers' salaries), and 700,000 needs 35 million!

If in wartime, personnel expenses should be increased to at least 50 million!

How could there be so much land tax in the Song Dynasty?

The number of soldiers supported by at least 600 million mu of land is not as large as that of the more than 100 million mu of land of the Zhou State, which fully illustrates the mistake of the Song Dynasty's policy of "not suppressing annexation......

In addition, the Song Dynasty also provided many warriors who spent a lot of money but had very questionable combat effectiveness. For example, Zhao Ji's clan army, such as a huge number of box soldiers, such as the hereditary military attachés of Yin Bu (the number is also more than 10,000), such as the guards of the various feudal king's mansions, also cost twenty or thirty million a year!

And the redundant officials and redundant personnel of the Song Dynasty, as well as Zhao Ji, who spent money like water, and the increasingly large princes and emperors of the clan, are also consuming the limited financial resources of the imperial court.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty, which has the largest economic strength in the world, has now raised more than 300,000 new troops. It is enough to deal with the Jurchens of the Jin State, but when it comes to the Zhou State, which can mobilize an army of up to 700,000 troops, it is completely insufficient!

However, to suppress the annexation and raise troops with fields, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were unanimously opposed...... What else can the court do if they don't give the birthday coin?

The question now is not whether the Song Dynasty should give the New Year's coins at all, but whether Zhou Guoken refused to accept the New Year's coins!

……

Wu Haode, who got Zhao Ji's will, was really desperate, and went out early the next morning. Along the way, they rode horses and hurried slowly, and finally arrived in the festive city of Tianjin on the eighth day of the ninth month, where shipping on the Jiehe River had reopened after a period of blockade, but the inspection was much stricter than before.

But for Wu Haode, this is not a problem at all.

When he arrived at Tianjin, where the lights were lit up everywhere and the celebrations had just been held, Wu Haode arrived at the embassy and asked someone to inquire, only to know that Tianjin was a double happiness during this time.

Yixi is that the rebellion of Yelu Ao Luhu was fully assessed, and the Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion of the Jin State also surrendered to the Great Zhou, and the army fighting in the north returned triumphantly, and a triumphant ceremony was held in Tianjin on the sixth day of the ninth lunar month.

Erxi is the former head of state, and now he has become the richest man in the Great Zhou State, and he is also the Wuhao Guna concubine of the father of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the founder of Tianjin!

"What? My eldest brother's concubine is also a joy in the city? Wu Haode asked a left-behind official of the embassy with a surprised expression.

"If you go back to the imperial history," the official replied, "this time the old Wu Yuan will not take a concubine as an ordinary woman, but the princess of the Liao Kingdom, Da Aoye."

This woman is not only a stunning beauty of noble birth, but also a ruthless character. After Ao Luwei disappeared, I don't know what means were used, but he actually collected 12,000 Khitan remnants, and also took the territory of Linhuang Mansion. The old head accepted Da Okuno as a concubine, which was equivalent to controlling these 12,000 households.

In addition, the remaining more than 20,000 households in Eastern Liao were also divided into three and handed over to Yu Liyan, Xiao Yi and Xiao Yun respectively.

Wang Zonghan, who stayed in Beijing of the Jin Kingdom, also took refuge in Da Zhou, and also recognized Da Ono as a godmother, and I heard that he also came to Tianjin this time. Ready to be crowned hereditary king of Huining......"

Wu Haode took a breath of cool air, no wonder Tianjin was full of joy.

This time, the Great Zhou Kingdom has made a lot of money! Not only defeated the national army of the Jin State, but also completely annexed the Eastern Liao, but also took the Shangjing Road of the Jin State!

In the past, the three of the five capital roads of the Great Liao Empire are now all owned by the Great Zhou. In addition, the Great Zhou also took the entire territory of Goryeo and half of Cangzhou (Tianjin) of the Song Kingdom. I am afraid that the land area is larger than that of the Great Song Dynasty......

……

The sound of crackling firecrackers rang out, and Wu Haogu's mansion in the Republic Square was close to the left, and the crowds were surging. Everyone crowded on both sides of the street, looking happily at the beautiful concubine accepted by the old Führer.

It stands to reason that the concubine should not be a big deal, but the identity of Da Aoye is there, and her contribution to the division and disintegration of Eastern Liao in Wuhao Gu is also there, so she can naturally enjoy a little special treatment.

So the entire Republic Square was decorated, and the lights were lit up, all the way to the outside of the samurai mansion. The painted shed stands just outside the door of the house, and the four sides are full of baskets full of sugar for red dates and peanuts, and new red felt blankets are laid on the ground. The musicians whined and pulled, and the doctors of the Tenrikyo sect also wore ceremonial robes and came to act as the celebrants.

This is completely the standard etiquette of marrying a wife, and it is all enjoyed by Okuno.

In addition, after today's concubine ceremony is over, Okuno will not live in the samurai mansion and really be small.

She will have her own Linhuang Princess Mansion in Tianjin, and she will naturally have her own palace in Linhuang Mansion, and she will also have her own villa in the rebuilt summer palace.

Everything you enjoy is at the level of a king. In fact, she is the queen of Linhuang Mansion!

It's just that there is another master above her, the patriarch of the Great Zhou Republic and the richest man Wu Haogu.

A queen has now become the concubine of a wealthy businessman, this is probably unprecedented, right?

Wu Haogu was meeting his third brother Wu Haode in his study at this time. Although he gave Da Okuno enough face, it was all outside the mansion. As soon as Da Okuno's convoy enters the samurai mansion, she will be Wu Haogu's concubine.

Taking a concubine is not like marrying a wife, Wu Haogu doesn't have to do any etiquette, just wait for Da Ono to come to visit. So Wu Haogu is very idle now, and it just so happened that Wu Haode came to visit, and the two brothers met in the study.

In Wu Haogu's study, there are no more annoying official documents that can never be read at this time.

There was only a stack of ledgers, a few volumes of calligraphy and paintings, and a few miscellaneous newspapers.

Wu Haode is holding a scroll of paintings in his hand and pretending to appreciate it, this is the Gongbi photo picture that Wu Haogu has just created - "Empress Dowager Xiao", the painting is very ordinary, and there is no early skill at all. It's much worse than Zhao Ji's current works.

However, Wu Haode was still full of praise, and his high hat was buttoned to Wu Haogu's head.

"Third brother," Wu Haogu smiled, "Don't exaggerate, although the skills of the foolish brother are not as good as back then, but the eyesight is still there." Do you still wonder if this painting is good or bad?

I was so busy in the past that I was about to lose my ability to take care of the house. Now, no matter what, you can cultivate yourself again. The world is all you young people, if you have any matter, go and talk to Jiu'er. ”

"Big brother, you really don't care?" Wu Haode frowned, "You're only 46 years old, why don't you care?" ”

"It's not that I don't care about things," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I'm still a patriarch, and I still have a lot of things to take care of in business...... I'm now a veteran and a businessman, primarily a businessman. ”

Merchant...... Wu Haogu is really true! In the Great Zhou Republic, the head of state was an official position, the highest political official. But the senators were not official positions, but only representatives of citizens.

So after resigning as the head of state, Wu Haogu was no longer an official. And his paternity is equivalent to a knighthood, not a profession. If you look at it by profession, he is really a businessman.

Wu Haode was a little speechless, this matter is troublesome, the former head of the Great Zhou Republic actually became a businessman!

But what kind of businessman is this? But there is a queen who holds 12,000 Khitan knights and rules Linhuang Mansion and half of the Horqin grassland, and is about to make a concubine for you, a merchant!

Such a concubine didn't even dare to have the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and you, a businessman, would have included her in the house......
