Chapter 103 The Flowing Times is a good newspaper

It is said that if someone is talking about it, the person's ears will be red. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the depths of winter in 1273, the owner of Liuqiu Island felt itchy ears, and he rubbed them a few times from time to time, and when he looked in the mirror, he was a little red.

He thinks it's dry skin caused by winter.

In the evening, he rubbed some more quietly prepared alabaster to feel better.

When I got up the next day, I looked in the mirror again, and sure enough, it was not red.

Now, glass products and perfume cosmetics series have always been a profiteering industry on Liuqiu Island, and the owner of Zhang Guoan Island does not dare to disclose the profit margin, for fear that others will swallow him alive.

Again, with such high profits, he did not turn them into gold and hide them, but put them out on the same scale.

For example, the current Shandong Road.

The three cities of Jinan City, Zibo City, Laiwu City, and the so-called Zaozhuang area, he has invested a lot of money as wages, and at the same time, he has to put a lot of material to balance the funds, otherwise it will be like over-issuing currency, and the money will be hairy!

The materials they seized in the early stage could not be used at all------ but fortunately, whether it was the Great Song Dynasty or Liuqiu Island, the price of food had really dropped a lot.

The common people of the Great Song Dynasty have finally become smarter, this corn flour is really not delicious, but the rice and white flour are delicious.

Corn prices are falling the fastest!

Therefore, if he buys some from the Great Song Dynasty, plus the ones produced on the Shandong Peninsula, and then transfers some from Liuqiu Island, he can boldly put grain on Shandong Road------ he will definitely not starve to death this winter!

There are also winter clothes and other supplies, although these are not given away for free, but recycled with invested supplies, but the amount of money is still amazing, and a lot of materials are needed to turnover.

Especially the basic daily necessities, he can only import them from the Great Song!

This has come and gone, and the economy of the Great Song Dynasty has become better and better, and the market has booming in purchase and sales.

The Inner Treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the Inner Treasury of the Great Song Dynasty officials, the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, the Household Department, and the four local consulates-general and other financial systems are now better.

In the early Song Dynasty, the motive for the establishment of the Inner Treasury and the Imperial Treasury was ostensibly to ensure the needs of military affairs and supplement the lack of state finances.

Although the design of this separate system has the needs of war and the original intention of national reserves, it should fundamentally be the idea that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and the central government want to personally control the largest share of financial power and hope that "favor comes from themselves".

Judging from the present situation of the Great Song Dynasty, their finances, armies, and officials are one of the three major foundations of power, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty want to control money and buy people's hearts, but they do not want to bear direct expenditures, causing their small coffers to dry up.

This has led to the strange phenomenon that most of the state income of the Great Song Dynasty has entered the departments without regular expenditures, and there are often expenditures that pat the head.

For example, the establishment of the Imperial Arquebusier Army, the ministers hoped that their official families would have a good hobby, and the income of the inner treasury was seriously underestimated, which made the official family of the Great Song Dynasty bigger and bigger, and made an independent army!

Coupled with the overseas trade, the income of the official treasury has soared!

Fortunately, the ministers restricted the sea trade of the inner treasury and used it to operate the imperial treasury, so everyone felt better.

However, there are natural flaws in the top-level design of the central financial system of the Great Song Dynasty, where can a normal country have four financial centers?

The root cause of this is a congenital deformity in the distribution of power.

In fact, under the centralized system, it is difficult to establish a unified, fair and scientific fiscal system based on the whole country, and such requirements are too high.

Previously, in order to meet the needs of the war, the Great Song Dynasty made a large number of heavy arrangements for the revenue and expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty, and the result was that the defects of the system swallowed up the increase in revenue brought about by the economic development of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song could not focus on increasing the sources of national income, but on how to extract as much taxes and other national income as possible to increase fiscal revenue, which could be used to supply an inefficient and large army, as well as an ever-expanding royal family and officials.

Originally, with the military defeat of the Great Song Dynasty, the source of income gradually shrunk, the tax source gradually shrunk, and the government expenditure did not decrease but increased------ at this time, the business and trade activities of Liuqiu Island have more or less changed the status quo, and later cheap sea salt, grain varieties, and all kinds of novel and luxurious commodities have made the economy of the Great Song Dynasty slowly improve------ especially in the final battle with the Tatar bandit group, they did not lose!

The basic social situation did not collapse, and the economy of the Great Song Dynasty began to improve day by day.

Of course, they have to give the Tatar bandit group New Year's coins every year, and they also secretly support Liuqiu Island, these expenditures, the Great Song Dynasty government up and down, no one cares------ their economy is indeed too large!

I casually engaged in a government-run sea trade, and I earned it back several times at once, and I did it without caring too much about the cost.

The insects of the Great Song Dynasty spit out silk and made money for the Great Song Dynasty.

The clay of the Great Song Dynasty was fired into porcelain, and it made money for the Great Song Dynasty.

The trees of the Great Song Dynasty bear leaves, and they make money for the Great Song Dynasty.

The technical content of Liuqiu Island is high, and the products are novel, but the volume is compared with the other? Not an opponent!

Therefore, they can only swallow their anger for the time being, and honestly watch the Great Song Dynasty raise the cost of sea trade.

However, Da Song also has something to be proud of, and there are bright spots!

They are now beginning to allow taxes in lieu of servitude and gradually reduce the poll tax, which frees up labor and increases the overall productivity efficiency of society.

In terms of sources of income, the state's operating income has been expanded by means of such means as the issuance of bank notes, the issuance of paper money, and the expansion of circulation, which has enabled the state to expand its operating income, no longer relying solely on taxes to squeeze the people, and has also indirectly reduced the burden on the people.

This is also standing at the height of this era.

The "Liuqiu Times" loudly slapped the sycophants on these financial highlights of the Great Song Dynasty, and used the words "great", "glorious" and "correct", and violently exaggerated the Song Dynasty, all positive energy------ by the way, some forbidden monopoly operations are not put aside and keep pace with the times!

For example, raw hides, spices and ivory, etc., can you boldly ask, what is the price of that sea salt, and why do we still use the official camp? And that iron smelting, let's not smoke two, can it be done?

Is it okay to let the people run errands and earn two small bucks?

Overall, this is an article that pays equal attention to praise and advice.

At that time, when Yang Youxing was writing, he said: "Master Zhang, I want to ------vomit when I write such an article."

"Hold back, they will eat this set, and if you spit it out later, you will get used to it, and you will succeed."

"Master Zhang, didn't you say that it's best to shoot sycophants in private, not in front of others, this is all public, anyone can see it, how embarrassing."

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, sighed, this kid is too embarrassed, and he can succeed faster by publicly patting his ass!

He could only guide him little by little: "If you say that you are the smartest and hardest-working, how do you think others think of you?" ”

"I'm going to be scolded!"

"Well, yes. If you say that our nation is the smartest and most industrious?! ”

"------ people are going to like me!"

"You see, you are standing on the moral high ground at this moment, and no one dares to deny it, and you win. Now write about it and see, do you still feel like you want to vomit? ”

And then it didn't.

This issue of the "Liuqiu Times" made the Great Song Dynasty government particularly satisfied, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty said that the "Liuqiu Times" was a good newspaper.

The owner of Zhang Guoan Island immediately asked Pingzhang Jia Nidao to help and asked him to ask for an inscription from the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, but he really begged for it, after all, he said it himself.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, asked Yang Youxing to print this sentence on the title from now on.

However, nothing has changed in the Great Song Dynasty, everything is as usual.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, comforted Yang Youxing and said: "Don't worry, this is a rare opportunity in a thousand years!" Wait ------ slowly" (To be continued.) )
