Uncle Zhang also nodded and said: "For his own selfishness, he doesn't care about the people of the world." If he is an official, I am afraid that he will not be able to harm the people. ”

Wu Yong, the left minister, Zhao Mingcheng, the right minister, and Zhang Shuye, the governor of the political affairs, are the only three of them, and the two of them have made a conclusion to Zhao Liangsi, and they will end Zhao Lianghe's career.

Chao Gai heard both of them say this, so he also nodded and said, "Stand down." ”

Zhao Liangsi also knew that there was no hope for this life, so he retired in despair.

Uncle Zhang came out of the column and said: "The prince's banner is victorious, and he will be able to defeat the Western Xia in a few days." The minister asked the emperor to let the household department allocate money to set up a Salesian Hospital, a residential nursing home, an Anji Yuan, and a leaky garden in Shaanxi, so that the people could live and die without regrets. ”

In the Salesian Institute, the court paid to hire nursing women, adopt abandoned children, or children from poor families who lost their mothers could also be sent to the Salesian Institute. The imperial court allocates money and rice clothes on a monthly basis to raise these young children to adults, and when they grow up, they can freely choose their jobs, and the court does not restrict them.

Nursing homes are for the elderly, sick, orphans, and poor beggars, even pedestrians who have no money on the road can also receive relief.

The Anjiyuan took in some of the injured and sick, and the court paid for their treatment.

The Leaky Garden is mainly for the burial of the deceased in the nursing home and Anjifang, and the cemetery is arranged by the imperial court.

This was not the first creation of Daliang, but was created by the traitor Cai Jing.

Before the Song Dynasty, although there was also a court relief system, most of them were temporary disaster relief.

It wasn't until Cai Jing came to power that these sites were built in the state capitals and temporary relief became the norm.

At the beginning of Chongning, Cai Jing became a country, and lived in a nursing home and an Anji home, for three years, and then placed a drain garden.

Zhao Ji also wrote proudly: "Widows, widows, orphans, and unique hospitals to support, the sick have a workshop to help, the dead have a garden to bury, and the foundation of the royal road is also." ”

All of this is based on Cai Jing's touted "Fengheng Yuda", but there are many problems in actual operation, although the treasury has money, but when it is allocated, it has to be deducted by corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Arrived at the place. The money allocated by the imperial court was insufficient, and in order to cater to Cai Jing to set up these places, many state capitals levied and extorted money.

After it was built, some people filled their pockets, and many places were not strictly managed, and young and middle-aged people were also mixed in.

These shortcomings have become a reason for those who oppose Cai Jing's reform to attack, and every time Cai Jing is dismissed, these places will be abandoned. Cai Jing came to power, and then restored.

back and forth, coupled with Cai Jing's greed. The use of non-people, these courtyards actually did not play a big role.

Zhang Shuye and Cai Jing are also political enemies, but he has served in the local area for many years, and he has also single-handedly founded these places, knowing the benefits of these places to the people.

More importantly, Daliang exempted the people from all forced labor and taxes, and the government had to pay to hire workers if they wanted to do so, so they were not afraid that the local officials would disturb the people, and Daliang investigated corruption tightly. Therefore, after Uncle Zhang came out at night, he wanted to use the iron blood of the beam. Rehabilitation of these relief sites.

Jiang Jing, the head of the household department, said: "Jingdong and Hebei have just been rolled out, and the two roads use no less than a thousand yuan a day. ”

Uncle Zhang advocated this matter. Immediately said: "Shaanxi has experienced a war, there will be many lonely, widowed, injured and sick people, other roads may be suspended, but Shaanxi Road is urgent." Otherwise, I am afraid that people will die on the road. ”

Chao Gai frowned and said, "Didn't I order the Shaanxi Prefecture to relieve the fleeing people?" ”

Uncle Zhang said respectfully: "The relief of the people by the state governments is only temporary, and once the prince repels the Western Xia, most of the fleeing people will also return to their hometowns. At that time, the number of people fleeing from Jingzhao Province and other places will be greatly reduced, and it will be impossible for local officials to maintain this situation for a long time. Only the establishment of three hospitals and one park in all state capitals is a long-term solution. ”

Jiang Jing is not ignorant of the benefits of this matter, but he is in charge of the household department, so he has to consider it all, and said: "What he said about participating in politics is good, but after Shaanxi is pacified, the imperial court will have to take on the military of the six roads." In the past few years, the military expenditure on the Sixth Route in Shaanxi was more than 20 million yuan, and this figure will increase a lot after our DPRK is exempted from conscription. Without the servants, the expenditure of the yamen in various places has also increased significantly. If we spread out three courtyards and one park, I am afraid that the annual expenditure of Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Hebei, Jingdong, and Gyeonggi Sixth Road alone will exceed 40 million yuan. Within a year, the treasury was depleted. ”

Zhang Shuye frowned and said: "Our DPRK has a strong army, and the Western Army can also reduce its troops in comparison with Jingdong and Hebei, which can greatly reduce military expenditures." ”

Jiang Jing shook his head and said, "The prince and the generals must be asked about the military affairs, but we can't interfere." ”

The division of the civil and military affairs of the Great Liang Dynasty, even the prime minister has no right to intervene in military affairs, and military affairs are only discussed by the emperor and the military attaché, and the eunuchs are even more restricted to death in the palace, and they are not allowed to be crowned officials, let alone participate in politics and ask soldiers.

Zhang Shuye is also both civil and military, but because the prince is in charge of military affairs, he feels that the prince is arbitrary, so he chose a civil official, and he is not qualified to ask the soldiers.

Although Zhang Shuye felt that the military generals had too much power, the crown prince was in charge of military affairs, and Chao Gai did not want Liang Wenchen to restrain the military generals, and no one dared to speak out among the officials in the DPRK and China, and he was unable to support it alone.

Since it is impossible to reduce expenditure, then open source, if the imperial court pays more taxes, it will naturally be able to implement three courtyards and one garden.

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhang said: "The imperial court has banned officials from doing business, so there should be a lot of increase in business taxes, right?" ”

The commercial tax of Daliang continued the system of the Song Dynasty, with a tax of three percent for residents and two percent for travel. The garrison tax is levied on the sitting, and the travel tax is levied on the transportation and checkpoints.

Jiang Jingdao: "Although there is less officials to carry goods, it also reduces double taxation. Song merchants passing through a state could be taxed several times. But I can only collect taxes once in a state, so I am afraid that there will be no significant increase in commercial taxes. ”

Chao Gai said: "How much can the business tax be?" ”

Jiang Jingdao: "When Zhao Ji was in power, the commercial tax was only 10 million guan, and the territory of our dynasty was not half of that of the Song Dynasty, and Jiangnan was the most important place to pay taxes, I am afraid that it was only two or three million guan." ”

Chao Gai frowned and said, "Didn't you say that the Song Dynasty paid more than half of the commercial tax?" How did it become 10 million again? ”

Jiang Jing explained: "There is also a tax on commerce, and the salt, wine, tea, incense, and alum sold by the imperial court can indeed be more than half of these taxes. However, the salt solution was controlled by Tian Hu, and the sea salt and tea were both in the south of the Yangtze River, and the tax was reduced by half. ”

Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said: "The two taxes have always been large, and the prosperity of previous dynasties could not exempt agricultural taxes, and the prince's proposal is probably a bit radical." ”

Wu Yong also nodded and said: "The removal of all forced labor has also greatly increased the expenditure of the imperial court, but now the farmers in my dynasty are the most lively, there is no agricultural tax, and there is no need to serve forced labor." ”

Jiang Jing remembered Chao Yong's words, and said helplessly: "Commercial tax is actually a tax levied on everyone, and if a businessman pays the tax, he will naturally spread the cost to the people, and it cannot be said that the peasant households have no burden." The prince said that the imperial court was the largest merchant, or a monopoly, and if this could not maintain financial balance, then all the households should be replaced by merchants. ”

Zhang Shuye was dissatisfied: "The prince is invincible, invincible, and in charge of military affairs. But this political affairs are not good at it, salt, wine, and tea are used so much by the people, can he still let the people eat more or sell them at sky-high prices? ”

This time, Wu Yong did not echo Uncle Zhang, shook his head and said: "Judging from the royal ticket number, maybe the prince can really turn stones into gold." ”

Jiang Jing couldn't forget Chao Yong's support, and nodded when he heard this: "If it weren't for the prince's kindness and setting the interest on the royal ticket number at one cent per month, once the royal ticket number is fully rolled out, the annual income is estimated to be tens of millions of yuan." is this dividend, once it is rolled out, I am afraid that it will be able to earn tens of millions of dollars a year. ”

Wu Yong shook his head and said: "The prince has cut off the wealth of the rich people in the world this time, if it is not for the prince's invincibility, I am afraid that as soon as the royal ticket number comes out, the rich people in the world will be reversed." When the prince changed the law, the interest of the Qingmiao loan was 20% for a few months, and it was still attacked by the powerful, which shows how heavy the interest of private loans is. ”

Shi Wengong smiled: "Who dares to rebel, we are so idle that we are panicking." ”

Shi Wengong and Hu Yanzhuo have been in the squad for many days, when Chao Yong conquered Liao, in order to show his determination to resist Liao, Daliang took back all the soldiers and horses of the southern and eastern expeditions.

Although Shi Wengong and Hu Yanzhuo swept away the rogue and rout soldiers all the way, it only took more than 20 days, and Chao Yong had just arrived in Xijing at that time, but now the news of killing Cha Ge had already been transmitted.

For the generals, this is the time to expand the territory and make contributions, and after resting in Tokyo for more than ten days, Shi Wengong asked for orders to send troops to seize more state capitals, but was suppressed by Chao Gai.

Zhang Shuye also had to admit the success of the royal ticket number, and said: "The royal ticket number is indeed beneficial to the people and the country, but the royal ticket number contains a lot of people's savings. Therefore, Wechen suggested that the royal ticket number should be collected by the imperial court and managed by the household department, so that the treasury could also be enriched. ”

When everyone heard Uncle Zhang's words, their faces suddenly changed one by one.

The generals in the DPRK and China are all confidants of the prince, and no one will be disrespectful to the prince. The civil officials were all deterred by the prince's ruthless methods, and although the regulations were later promulgated that they would not be punished for their words, the civil servants did not dare to discuss the prince's affairs, let alone encroach on the prince's interests.

The only one who dared to speak disrespectfully to the prince in the Manchu Dynasty was Zhang Shuye, and Wu Yong's qualifications were old enough, but he never confronted Chao Yong.

When the crown prince conquered Tokyo, Uncle Zhang followed Chao Gai to Tokyo at night, although he was often summoned by Chao Gai to ask about politics, but he never came out. It wasn't until the Great Liang resisted Liao that Chao Gai invited Zhang Shuye to come out, and Zhang Shuye became the governor, and the power was only under Wu Yong and Zhao Mingcheng.

Jiang Jing didn't take the bait, shook his head and said: "The ticket number was created by the prince, and the people and rules used are also the prince's people, and I'm afraid there will be chaos when the household department takes over." Moreover, the crown prince has already said that in the future, all the royal tickets will be issued by the royal ticket number, which has already reduced a large amount of expenditure for the treasury. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said: "The royal ticket number will still issue banknotes in the future, and it cannot be handed over to the household department." ”

When Uncle Zhang heard this, he said curiously: "The issuance of banknotes should be issued by the imperial court, right?" How did it become a reason not to hand it over to the household department? ”

Chao Gai thought about what Chao Yong said at the beginning, and said: "The imperial court issues paper money, once the treasury is insufficient, the imperial court may issue it indiscriminately, thus collapsing the credit of paper money." Therefore, the prince advocated that the royal ticket number should be issued, and the household department would supervise it, so as to ensure that every banknote was exchangeable.
