"Hehe, the lower officials have a strategy, which can not only become the heart of the country for the businessmen, but also make the saint have a bright face, I don't know if the prince and you are willing to hear it?" Jia Rudao bowed to Zhao Shimi and said with a smile.

If he hadn't figured out what Zhao Shimi had invited him to the banquet for today, he could really move a piece of tofu and kill him.

There is no good banquet, and it is really honest and does not deceive people. Zhao Shimi was so courteous and courteous, and even did not hesitate to go out of the house to greet him in person with the respect of the prince, but it seemed that he was wiping his butt for Wen Lianggong and others.

For the sake of the millions of grains that are about to be unsellable, to be a lobbyist!

Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo and others have a lot of food in their hands. The imperial court really needs it. However, under the condition that Meng Hui had already captured more than a million stone of grain in Xiangyang and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Jinghu Theater were able to be self-sufficient, to be honest, the imperial court's demand for food was not as urgent as before.

The most important thing is that Jia Rudao has successively repatriated nearly 800,000 people to return to their hometowns, and in addition to the household department ordering all localities to open warehouses and supply the daily rations after returning to their hometowns, the general department of the city is also using the means that the general manager can take to start preparations in advance. In the final analysis, it is just one sentence, that is, try to delay the time, at most two or three months, hundreds of thousands of acres of grain planted in a hurry will enter the maturity period, and there are more than 1,000 acres of sweet potatoes.

The time when the grain ripening of those reclaimed farmland is not a secret, Jia seems to be clear, and Zhao Shimi, Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo and others are also clear. This is why Wen Lianggong and others, who were originally sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, would be so anxious. No one thought that Zheng Mingxuan would give all the grain he used to brew imperial wine to Jia Nidao for disaster relief, and they also didn't expect that Jia Nidao was completely different from the previous disaster relief officials, completely unreasonable and disguised to squeeze these hundreds of thousands of elite laborers, and added hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land to Lin'an Mansion to the Great Song Dynasty, and also caught up with the spring ploughing after the most relent.

Of course, the grain used to make seeds is still provided by Wen Shannan. But then again, even if there is no 300,000 stone of grain in Wenshannan, Jia Rudao will also find a way to get the grain, after all, there are many high-ranking families and wealthy families in Lin'an City, which house and other courtyards do not store more than 100,000 stone of grain? It's just that the process may not be so smooth and convenient.

This kind of change that Wen Lianggong and others did not expect finally made them unable to sit still. At this time, there was news that Jia Rudao was ready to take advantage of them, grain merchants who hoarded grain and deliberately raised grain prices, which naturally made Wen Lianggong and others panic even more.

Although they all have the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China behind them, and the worship has not stopped on weekdays, if Uncle Jia Guo, who is in the middle of the day in the Great Song Dynasty, is really determined to clean them up, it can be expected that those officials who have taken their offerings will definitely not fight to the death for them, these businessmen.

This is the sorrow of the little people, Wen Lianggong and others are very clear. You may be able to rely on those people in small things, but once you encounter an existence that makes them feel tricky, it is impossible for those people to put their future into it for their little people. Therefore, when Zhao Shimi stretched out an olive branch, Wen Lianggong and the others would immediately come up.

After all, silver is just something outside the body, isn't it? If a man dies, what is the use of any more silver?

Hearing Jia Yidao's words at this moment, the cadres were stunned for a moment, and then their faces were different. Everyone present knew that if it weren't for the strong opposition of Yu Tianxi, Jia Rudao and others, I am afraid that the household department would have reissued tens of millions of people to buy the food in the hands of Wen Lianggong and others.

At this time, Jia Nidao actually said that there was another strategy, and listening to that tone was still the best of both worlds, could it be said that Jia Nidao was going to change his attitude? Or is it because he is ready to change his attitude under the pressure of King Heixiu?

When Zheng Xingzhi heard Jia Yidao's words, his wrinkled face showed a complex look that looked like disappointment and relief. Yuan Fu, who had been carefully observing his face by his side, was a little confused.

"Oh? What is Shi Xian's good policy? Speak quickly and listen to this king. ”

Zhao Shimi glanced at Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo and the others, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Jia Rudao, with a little ease in his words. It is said that this Jia Shixian is extremely conceited in his bones, but now it seems that it is not as bad as the rumors say, and he is still very interesting.

"Yes, lord." Jia Rudao bowed slightly to Zhao Shimi, got up and nodded his head at Zheng Xingzhi, then glanced around and said softly: "The Holy Decree newly established the General Department of the City to replace the responsibilities of the previous City Department, presumably the prince and all the adults are also clear. Shi Xian received the grace of the saint and raised the general department of the city. The General Department of the City will be responsible for the inspection of goods and the collection of taxes in the future of the rivers, lakes and seas of the Great Song Dynasty.

According to Shi Xian's inspection of the account books of the Municipal Shipping Division, the tax silver that the Municipal Shipping Division had transported to the imperial court to the household department every year was about 8 million taels of silver. After the Yamen of the General Department of the City Ship replaced the City Ship Division, the tax silver that should be transported to the imperial court in the first year will be about 16 million taels of silver, which is the military order that Shi Xian made to the Holy Lord. ”

"So much?"

"That is, can you have so much silver?"

"It's really hairless and can't do things well."

……

Hearing Jia Nidao's words, all the important ministers around him changed color, and they all talked about it. Of course, there are all kinds of words, but in the final analysis, there are only a few people who believe in them, and most people are skeptical.

Although Zhao Shimi, Zheng Xingzhi, Yuan Fu and others did not say anything, the expressions on their faces were all suspicious. Especially when he heard Jia Yidao say that he had made a military order in front of Zhao Yun, the disappointment on Zheng Xingzhi's face was even stronger.

"Okay, don't be impatient, listen to Shi Xian's words."

Although Zhao Shimi said that he was also suspicious in his heart, but through the brief contact with Zhao Shimi, he could also see that Jia Rudao was obviously a person who knew how to advance and retreat, how could a person who knew advance and retreat and was interested in it be stupid enough to force himself to a dead end?

made a military order in front of Zhao Yun, with Jia Rudao's current status, coupled with Jia Guifei, and Zhao Yun's favor, there is no need to make such a dangerous move, right?

"Hehe, in the first year, 16 million taels of silver, and in the second year, the tax and silver of the general department of the city will be 20 million taels...... ...... start," Jia seemed to gasp, making the people around him almost drop their jaws in shock.

20 million taels of silver, all the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty in a year add up to a variety of names, how much is it? but between sixty or seventy million taels and eighty million taels of silver. Of course, before the Great Song Dynasty did not lose that half of the country, the tax revenue even exceeded 100 million taels of silver. But Jia Rudao dared to boast that in the second year of Haikou, the taxes paid by the general director of a city to the imperial court could account for more than a quarter of the total taxes of the Great Song Dynasty, what kind of concept is this? According to his algorithm, in three or four years, won't the taxes collected by the General Department of the City be able to directly top the national taxes of the Song Dynasty?

The people present, including Zhao Shimi, looked at Jia Nidao with a look in their eyes that were no longer suspicious, but directly ...... Seems to be looking at an idiot!

Touched the nose, well, despised it. If he told them that this was just a basic number, would Zhao Shimi just sweep himself out of the house? Jia Rudao touched his nose and thought helplessly.

"Therefore, Shi Xian is going to set up a financial department under the command department, the city department and the river department under the Yamen of the Municipal Shipping General Division, and set up a bank of the Municipal Shipping General Division, which is mainly responsible for the collection of taxes and silver collected by the Yamen of the Municipal Shipping General Division......"

"Does the emperor know about this matter?"

Zhao Shimi interrupted Jia Rudao's words and interjected to ask.

"Wechen has already submitted a table to His Majesty, and the Holy Lord has already agreed."

"Hmm!" Zhao Shimi rubbed the little jade Ruyi in his hand, and replied noncommittally and vaguely.

Zhao Yun actually knew the way, and it seemed that he had already responded. This made the little worry in Zhao Shimi's heart disappear again.

"As the name suggests, the Bank is a silver firm. Of course, it is not enough to just collect taxes, so after the establishment of the Bank of the General Division of the City, it is also necessary to accept the silver of the rich merchants and nobles of the Song Dynasty like other banks, as long as the silver is put into the Bank of the General Division of the City, the Bank of the General Division of the City can not only ensure the safety of the silver, but also will not collect any silver, not only do not collect the silver but also give interest to the person who deposits the silver on a monthly basis...... Of course, the interest rate will be very low, but once the silver is stored enough, it will not be too little......"

"What? Don't take the money, give the money back? Zhao Shimi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

"That's it, it's really hairless on the mouth, and it's not good to do things."

"I'm afraid that the emperor's silver will be lost......"

……

There was another round of disdainful chatter all around!

Jia Rudao had already expected this, so he simply turned on the filtering mode, and continued to himself: "Therefore, Shi Xian thinks that the grain of several grain merchants can be directly counted as silver and deposited in the bank of the general division of our city, well, it will be for a period of three years, and within three years, every year the bank of the general division of the city will pay a certain amount of interest on the silver, and after three years, as long as you want to withdraw the silver, Shixian guarantees a one-time payment, of course, if you don't want to withdraw the silver, you can also continue to deposit it in the bank of the general division of the city." , the interest is calculated and paid on an annual basis by the head office of the city. I don't know what do you think, lord, uh? ”

Jia Yidao looked at Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo and the others who looked suspicious, and said slowly.

In front of the courtyard of the Sixiu Palace, there was silence.
