Chapter 18 Continue to increase trade

The envoy of the Liao State hurriedly returned to China with my national letter, and I looked at the minister standing below and asked, "Do you have anything else to report?" No, not to mention that the envoys from the Liao State and the future Mongols said that they would beat you, and you would cede the land with righteousness and compensation, hum, today Lao Tzu will let you have a long experience.

"Ministry of Rites"

Why didn't anyone agree, "Ministry of Rites" I shouted loudly to the Ministry of Rites

"The minister is here, and the minister deserves death" After Wang Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out of work, he knelt directly on the ground

"Don't be damned yet, wait until you get things done and then die," he said to the old man without anger at all

"Immediately sent people to Dali to Tubo Xixia and Fusang, all with them to increase the trade volume, the Western Xia also bought military horses from them, imported medicinal materials, Dali, bought 50,000 rattan armor from them, coal and iron ore, to a large amount, as for Tubo and Fusang, increase the export quota of Buddhist scriptures, buy their Tibetan mastiff from Tubo, for the formation of Tibetan mastiff army, first buy 10,000 and then say, there is also Tubo's milk, meat, milk, increase the amount of imports, Japan wants their pearl sulfur wood and gold and silver mines, remember?"

"Remember, the minister will do it immediately"

"Abolish the Salt and Tea Division, the rights are transferred to the Ministry of Households, all the officials of the Salt and Tea Division go to the Ministry of Households, and the officials who are reviewed and merged by the Ministry of Officials will be dismissed if they are not useful. Abolish the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Division over civil buildings, rivers, bridges, etc., and civil iron tools, and transfer them to the Ministry of Industry,

As for the Ordnance Division, in the future, it will only supervise the manufacture of ordnance and military engineering, and the Ordnance Division will expand the workshop, and the Palace Marshal will move the artillery barracks to the left of the Ordnance Division, and then move a team of 10,000 swords, shields, and archers to surround the Ordnance Division."

In fact, the weapons of the Song Dynasty were kept secret very well, this ordnance division is located in a mountain col, and ordinary people really don't know about it, but I did it just to prevent it

"Since the Salt and Tea Division has been assigned to the Household Department, then it will be the Household Department, and you will be the Household Department in the future, and all the officials of the Salt and Tea Division will go to the Household Department to serve."

"Obey the order" Liu Shihai should be out of class

In fact, although the Song Dynasty was very wealthy, but Zhao Kuangyin prevented the minister's dictatorship from making a policy of separation of powers, and now it is good that the Privy Council has replaced the Ministry of War, the Salt Tea Division has replaced the Ministry of Households, and the Ordnance Department has replaced the Ministry of Industry, and the power is separated, but this government agency is also bloated a lot.

And Liu Shihai is only forty-three years old, among all the officials, he is a fairly young high-ranking official, and he also belongs to the Shaozhuang faction, the key is that this fat man is very happy at first glance, but he is a neutral faction, but the light revealed in his squinting eyes is not a stable lord, this old boy gives him a chance, he will definitely soar into the sky, since this is the case, then I will fulfill you

"Liu Aiqing, when will the country's tax money for this autumn tax arrive in the capital, and how much is the income?"

"Back to the emperor, this year's tax silver in the Jingzhao area will arrive tomorrow, Shandong and the Daimyofu, Hedong, Huainan and other places of the tax silver will also arrive within three days, Chengdu Mansion and Guangnan West Road tax silver will arrive within five days, and Guangnan East Road and Fujian Road tax silver because of heavy rain, the road is difficult to travel will probably be later. And this year's agricultural tax revenue is 57,440,07,212 guanwen, and the commercial tax revenue is 31,800,099,930 wen and 310 wen, so the total tax silver of this year's autumn tax is 89,250,07,143 guan wen and 3,102 wen, totaling this year's summer tax, China's tax amount for the whole year this year is 120 million guanwen, which is insufficient compared to Tianyou's resentment to four years, and a slight increase compared to Tianyou's five or six years."

"Well, the answer is good, come to the imperial study in the afternoon, I have something to ask you, let's retire from the court"
