The New Year's coin is to collect eggs, and the grass valley is to kill chickens and take eggs.

The New Year's coins of the Song Dynasty were enough to make the Jin Kingdom live a comfortable life, let the Jin Kingdom have a better rest, and prepare for the domination of the world; However, some nobles of the Jin Kingdom did not know what to do, so they went south to attack the Song Dynasty, and as a result, Hedong, Hebei and other places were turned into a white land, and it seemed that they had plundered a lot of money, and their wealth suddenly increased a lot.

However, this kind of wealth does not last, it is difficult to last, and it is easy to form hatred.

Once the Jin army loses the battle, or the Jurchen battle is seriously damaged, the military advantage of the Jin army will quickly turn into a military disadvantage, and it will fall into an unprecedented desperate situation.

It's a pity that no one sees it now, but only sees the huge dividends brought by the killing, injury and looting of the Song Dynasty and the grass valley.

………………

Jin Taizong thought again and again, and thought: It is a God-given opportunity to destroy the Song Dynasty when the hearts of the people in the Central Plains are fluctuating; But after listening to Lou Mu's words, he felt that "the right place of Shaanxi is not something that can be left untaken." "Zong Han, as the commander of the Jin Army, had no choice but to follow Jin Taizong's order to unify the Central Army and the Eastern Route Army to advance southward, and Lou Room was ordered by Taizong to be the commander of the Western Route Army. Due to Zong Han's Southern Expedition, the Jin army under the command of Lou Mur only added up to 10,000, but he has always believed in the assertion that "if the Jurchens are full of 10,000, they are invincible", and believed that these soldiers were enough to run rampant in Shaanxi.

As a result, the general policy of operation has been decided.

In this battle, the Jin army attacked from three directions, and the East Route Army attacked Shandong and other places by Zongfu and Zongbi; The Middle Route Army, led by Zong Han, attacked Kaifeng and other places in Henan; The Western Route Army, led by Lou Mur, attacked Shaanxi and other places.

Among them, the East Route Army and the Middle Route Army are the main forces, concentrating more than 200,000 troops of the Jin Army, and all the elites of the Jin Army are concentrated here; The Western Route Army is a partial division, with only more than 10,000 Lou rooms. The reason why he agreed to Lou Mur's attack on Shaanxi was that Jin Taizong couldn't bear to refuse Lou Mur's opinion when he saw Lou Mur's hard work and high achievements, so he agreed comfortingly, but he led the least number of soldiers and horses, and most of them were miscellaneous troops.

Looking at this battle plan, Han Qixian sighed again, I don't know if he can catch the emperor this time, but the Jin army once again lost the opportunity to dominate the world.

"Opportunities pass by again and again, but unfortunately no one reaches out to grab it! Next, the opportunities are fewer, or even none! ”

The dream was shattered again, and Han Qixian was very painful in his heart.

The geese have left a voice, the people have left a name, who doesn't want to leave a name for eternity! And if you want to leave a name for eternity, the best way is to help the king unify.

What is unification?

It is in this land that there is only one emperor, and the others are all courtiers. This world is very wide, but it is very narrow, and it can only accommodate one emperor.

During the Qin state, there was only one emperor; During the Han Dynasty, there was only one emperor; During the Tang Dynasty, there was only one emperor. But now, the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty, the Liao State, and the Jin State have four emperors standing side by side. In this era, it is like an expanded version of the Warring States Rivalry. Whoever can end the juxtaposition of the emperors will be Qin Shi Huang, who will leave a name for eternity. And the auxiliary courtiers are also famous for thousands of years.

When the Jin State had just risen, the Song Xia Liao had become increasingly faint, and the Jin State should have destroyed the Liao State first, then the Western Xia, and then the Song Dynasty.

At that time, when he took refuge with Emperor Taizu, he offered the "Longzhong Pair".

It's a pity that Emperor Taizu died.

The emperor died, and Emperor Taizong was too particular about power and skill, lacked great talent, and did not have the prestige of Taizu, so he just kept going south to fight the grass valley, but forgot to dominate the world.

The opportunity was lost, and looking back, it was too late!

A trace of impulse flashed in Han Qixian's heart, wanting to persuade Taizong, but in the end he gave up, he was a Han from Liaodi............

………………

Jin Guo was planning to go south again, but Zhao Pu gradually found the feeling of being an emperor.

No one is born to be an emperor, people are always growing through continuous learning and making progress in continuous teaching. It's just that some people are unlucky, teach too much tuition, and end up bankrupt, such as Chongzhen; There are some people who have a deep family background, teach a lot of tuition, and have not gone bankrupt, such as him.

At this moment, Zhao Pu felt happiness.

The army of the Song Dynasty was a scumbag of war, but the GDP was terrifying and amazing, and the son of Song Huizong, a loser, lost a lot of property, and now he still has a lot of property. Looking at the money and grain transferred from the south on the account book, Zhao Pu had a feeling of screaming, it was still comfortable to be the emperor of the Song Dynasty!

Lao Tzu has money, money will kill you!

What if the Jurchens are bullish, Lao Tzu's 100,000 army bullies your 10,000 army;

What about the Jurchen elite, Lao Tzu's assault musket, flintlock pistol, arquebus burst into a group of shots, killing you in seconds;

What if the Jin army is powerful, Lao Tzu can't beat it, he can run, run from Yingtian to Jiangnan, go around in a big circle, play hide and seek, organize the government in exile, can't beat you, Lao Tzu drags you to death.

Rich!

The Song Dynasty was too rich!

In later generations, because of the lack of military spending in the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen often lived a hard life, and once the tax was raised, the Donglin Party did not dare, so the agricultural tax increased more and more, the people became more and more bitter, the commercial tax evasion became more and more, the treasury became less and less, and finally the inevitable death of the country.

But the Song Dynasty was different, the Song Dynasty said that the tax would be raised, and whoever dared to say that he was against it, whoever opposed it would be exiled to Hainan Island to be accompanied by monkeys. As a result, the era of the Song Dynasty with the most heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes was also the era of the heaviest taxes, and the era of the most peasant uprisings, but it was the powerful Jin State that abolished the power of the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers, and did not destroy the Song Dynasty, but was almost dragged to death by the Song Dynasty; The Mongols also gave the power of the Song Dynasty to destroy it.

The Song Dynasty has always had various problems, and there are many paralysis diseases, but it is the strongest vitality.

Why life is strong, because there is money.

"Exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes will not destroy the country, the ups and downs of the peasant uprising will not destroy the country, and only the treasury will have no money!" Suddenly, Zhao Pu understood.

What kind of corruption is the theory of destroying the country?

What is the theory of foreign enemies and the death of the country?

What warlords are separating and destroying the country?

What is the theory of the death of a relative eunuch?

What is the theory of the death of the scholar?

What is the theory of the strong and the weak branches?

It's all nonsense, there is only one reason for the country, the economy is bankrupt, and the treasury has no money!

Marxism has said that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the economy is the foundation of all things.

Only when the treasury has money can it be taken from the people and used by the people.

If you have money, you must also be careful in your calculations, and the victims must be relieved; Supplies were to be transported on some frontier lines; There are also the salaries of the court ministers, as well as the expenses of the army, and the construction of the city, and some obscure aspects............ Anyway, a lot of bits and pieces.

However, he vaguely found that in the end, Zhao Pu realized that he had saved a lot of money, and unknowingly, he reversed the situation of three redundancies and three expenses.

Wang Anshi said: "There are three redundancies in the big and three expenses in the small ones, so as to trap the wealth of the world." …… If you don't go to the three redundancy, you can't be a country. ”

The three redundant refers to redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses.

In the process of unifying the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of Song Taizu and Taizong, a large number of old officials from various countries were retained, so that they could maintain their official positions and receive money, but they did not hold real power (only some actual positions were arranged for those who were considered reliable); Second, for the clan, relatives, and honorable veterans, only high-ranking officials are awarded, and they are given preferential treatment, but not real positions.

At the time of the True Buddhism, these measures were institutionalized. According to this system, ordinary officials have two titles, "official" and "dispatch", and some officials also have the title of "post". "Official" only means that he can receive a salary, and the office has actual power. Each organ checks each other down, and it is common for "officials other than their officials" to be appointed.

The method of dividing officials and dividing the powers of governors at all levels to weaken their power is conducive to the centralization of power and social stability, but it also aggravates the number of officials.

In the end, it became that one official wears many hats, or several people in one position, which not only reduces administrative efficiency, but also causes a huge bureaucratic team and huge financial consumption. During the Qingli New Deal, Fan Zhongyan wanted to slim down the bureaucracy, but he was attacked by a backlash, and the tragedy was incomparable.

No one dared to slim down the ranks of the bureaucracy anymore, not even Wang Anshi. Over time, this has created redundancy.

A large number of homeless people, thieves, and thieves were recruited into the army, and in disaster years, the disaster victims were even incorporated into the army, resulting in the expansion of the number of the army. During the reign of Taizu Kaibao, there were 378,000 soldiers in the country, including 193,000 forbidden soldiers. During the period of Song Renzong, there were 1.29 million soldiers in the country, including 826,000 forbidden troops. In the early years of Huangyou, the army increased rapidly to 1.4 million. No one dared to slim down the army, except in the hope of provoking a mutiny. In the long run. This creates redundancy.

The prime minister and the high-ranking officials at the level of privy envoys shall have a monthly salary of 300,000 (i.e., 300 guan), 20 horses of silk, 30 horses of silk, and 100 taels of cotton in spring and winter, and 100 stones in the month of Lusu; Local state and county officials, the county order of large counties (more than 10,000 households) is 20,000 per month, the county order of small counties is 12,000 per month, and the month of Lusu is 5 to 3 stones. In addition to the regular income, there are also various subsidies, such as tea, wine, kitchen materials, salary, artemisia, charcoal, salt, and even forage for horses, and clothing and food for accompanying servants, all of which are quite considerable. During the time of Song Zhenzong, foreign officials were not allowed to bring their families, and the alimony of their families was provided by the government finance, and daily necessities such as rice, flour, and sheep were provided monthly. In addition, there is also "public money" (that is, entertainment expenses), such as the public money of the festival and the envoy can be as high as 20,000 yuan, and there is no upper limit, "exhaust and continue to give, no limit on years and months". In addition to public money, there is also "vocational land". The officials of the various roads have their own fields, 40 hectares of the two capitals and the great feudal mansions, 35 hectares of the secondary feudal towns, and 7 hectares of the remote small counties. Moreover, "foreign officials occupy the land, and more than the previous system", the tenants rent the seeds, and the officials sit and enjoy the profits.

The high-tech officials, of course, are a manifestation of preferential treatment of scholars and doctors, but also aggravate fiscal expenditures and form redundant expenses.

Under the redundancy, the state treasury has a lot of revenue, but it cannot afford to spend money, and there is often a fiscal deficit.

However, the Jin army went south twice, which certainly brought great disasters to the Song Dynasty, but once they checked the treasury revenue and expenditure, they found that the surplus was very large, which virtually alleviated the "three redundancies"
