"Gao Qing, Hedong is in turmoil, how much should be taken out of the military spending, and how much savings do you have in the treasury of the three divisions? Now that there is no one in the cardinal, I can't do it, so I can only ask you to come and talk. "The person who spoke was none other than Zhao Ji, the Emperor of Daojun of the Great Song Dynasty. He was wearing a Taoist robe, sitting on top of the Bagua Cloud Platform, the weather was very cold, and there was a bright yellow brocade mat underneath.

At this moment, Zhao Ji was in the quiet room of the Lingdong Palace outside the Imperial City. These days have been disturbed by Bianliang, but this Daojun Emperor has been cultivating Jing Alchemy in the palace, and coldly watching the parties in the court and the central government fight for me. When the parties in the court and the central government finally came up with a result, the high-ranking Emperor Daojun of the Great Song Dynasty finally decided to intervene to intervene in the changes in the court situation caused by the chaos in Hedong.

As Emperor Zhao Ji's mental skills gradually became perfect, no one was too sure about how Zhao Ji would make a decision when he arrived on the ground. Another reason is that this saint, sometimes simply because it is ridiculous and easy, will make some unbelievable decisions.

However, in the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, all parties in the DPRK and China were already prostrate at the feet of this emperor, counting on him to support his side and overwhelm the opponents in the court. The restrictions on the emperor's power by the scholars and doctors have been weakened to the lowest level, and now the entire Bianliang is holding their breath, waiting for the final conclusion from Zhao Ji.

In the quiet room, Liang Shicheng was also dressed in a robe, carrying the dust, standing respectfully behind Zhao Ji, Jingling West Palace and East Palace, all within the scope of Liang Shicheng's mention. These days, he not only has to negotiate with all the forces in the DPRK and China to fight for the interests of his own party, but also has to carefully wait for Zhao Ji, who is raising Jing Alchemy, and his eye sockets are a little blue, and he is haggard for three or two minutes.

Under the white jade pill wall, the three envoys were next to the brocade stool where Zhao Ji was sitting, and waited for Zhao Ji to ask as one of the only remaining important figures in Cai Jing's party. In this private exchange between the DPRK and China, Gao Dai also sold enough strength. I have won quite a lot of interests for my own party, and these days, I am tired and a little weak-boned.

But in Gao Dai's heart, he didn't feel much satisfied, for no other reason. After the husband's reset, he looked too low-key. A lot of things are not very good. If you put your former husband in the past, how could you see the changes in the situation caused by the Hedong turmoil, and the main benefits fall on the prince's family? In any case, he will arrange several important positions for his own party members, and expose some residues from his fingers to others.

After her husband left the position, she struggled to hold on to the situation and waited for him to come back. It's not for the sake of showing enough gentleness and frugality after the husband's reset!

It was after this incident that Gao Dai vaguely felt that her husband was indeed old, and he no longer had the spirit of covering the sky with one hand in the court. But what about yourself? As an important figure in the Cai Party, where else can he take refuge? I want to make my own situation, but I still think that the climate is insufficient, and what will happen in the future, I don't know if there is a family banquet in Gaodai today. I was ready to relax in the mansion, but I didn't expect it to be over. An envoy came to summon him and led him directly to Jingling Palace. Accepting Zhao Ji's inquiry, who has not appeared for a long time, as soon as he came up, he asked about the family background of the third division.

Gao Dai groaned, he is a shrewd and capable person, and he has been in charge of the three divisions for many years. These numbers are firmly remembered, Zhao Ji asked, and he sorted them out. Just open your mouth respectfully to reply.

"The New Year is over, and the treasury is empty, and the treasury is unraveled everywhere. For example, in the fourth and seventh months, at this moment, the three divisions are reserved, and it is really impossible to ask...... Now there are treasures and goods in it, gold and silver money are counted together, and there are 2.1 million guan, every winter, it is a critical time to control the river, and 900,000 guan will be allocated to govern the river, and the gate control army will be mobilized next month. Regardless of grain and rice, but in terms of military salaries, it is 1.35 million guan, and the salaries of all officials in Dumen are more than 600,000 guan. And the Shaanxi Zhulu garrison forbidden army was also solved after the beginning of spring, and at that time it was a large number of millions, but at this moment, there is no need to think about it so much, because it is useless to think about it......"

Zhao Ji snorted, his eyes half-open and half-closed. The face is calm, but the heart is churning endlessly, the way of the king is nothing more than the personnel of the DPRK and China, grasping the military power, and keeping an eye on the goods. He is also a natural value to money - because he is quite able to spend money, the background of the three divisions, he knows it very well, but when he heard Gao Yi say this, he still feels annoyed, the Great Song Dynasty is so rich, why is the court embarrassed like this?

At present, the treasury is only more than 2 million guan, and the expenditure will be close to 3 million guan, and this is still the result of how much the local government will spend, and the funds for the forbidden army stationed outside the Shaanxi Zhulu will be temporarily advanced by the local government, or reduced to distribution, and the result of thrift and thrift.

However, money is needed everywhere, and local advances are not always sustainable. The finances of the Great Song Dynasty are quite centralized, the center has no money, and the local area is also poor, not to mention that Zhao Ji concentrated the local Fengchun accumulation in Bianliang more than ten years ago. Wherever the advance is made, it is just to cover up the ears and steal the bell, it is nothing more than a temporary default, and then pay it back when there is money, and if it drags on like this, it can only wait for the collapse.

But the place where the money is spent is everywhere, tens of thousands of officials in Bianliang City every month, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops. The most important artery of the Great Song Dynasty is renovated every year from the river that transports grain from the south to Kaifeng. Shaanxi Zhulu, which is known as the maintenance of hundreds of thousands of military horses, as well as the disaster reports and famines in all military states of the entire Great Song Dynasty......

In the past year, I don't know how to get through. And I don't know how to get through this year. Since the chaos in Hedong, no matter what, it is necessary to raise troops to quell the chaos, which is another huge expense, and where did it come from......

Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty, why is it so poor!

As a financial means, it is quite effective in all dynasties, and it is better than the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later generations, and the Great Song Dynasty, which is actually very good, is definitely a lot of resources that can be used. However, no matter how rich the Great Song Dynasty was, it was still an agricultural society after all, and the unit population could not produce wealth and resources far beyond the level, nor could it be fully and effectively mobilized.

The so-called prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty lies in the resumption of trade between the East and the West after hundreds of years of isolation, the relaxed attitude towards the sea ban, and the financial means that are much more effective than those of the previous dynasties and later generations. It is not that this era can produce a huge amount of wealth that surpasses the previous generations.

However, the financial expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty was also ahead of the times, with more than one million professional soldiers, and in the history of thousands of years from ancient times to the present, the number of professional soldiers was comparable to that of the United States, but one was an agricultural society, and the other controlled the wealth of the world, which could never be compared.
