So that standard can't be changed in any way.

Once a larger-scale war breaks out, Zhao Shuo will need to prepare more and more food and silver.

Li Yanhui settled an account for the Great Song Dynasty in his home last night.

It's just that at present, the officials in Bianliang City plus the officials from all over the country have to pay 1,200 taels of silver for the salaries of the personnel who are normally paid.

With the arrival of four million taels of salt and silver tax on the two Huai side, plus eight million taels of silver from the national treasury.

That's exactly what keeps the state apparatus running for a year.

And that's just the cost of peacetime.

There is no disaster relief silver in various places.

And this year, His Majesty Zhao exempted all the taxes in Hebei and Shandong.

Resulting in tax revenues are certainly not as good as in previous years.

People say that they can open up sources and reduce expenditures, but the problem now is that the source cannot be kept.

There is no income, but the expenditure is huge.

Li Yanhui said: "Your Majesty, after this summer, the tax in the autumn will definitely continue to fall. ”

"In order to cope with the southward movement of the Jin people, I will harvest the barley in advance before the autumn comes."

"The barley can only be eaten after it has been dried, but the amount will definitely shrink, so the grain tax will only be less in the next quarter."

"And what are you going to do?" Zhao Shuo asked.

The situations that Li Yan said did exist.

And there is no way.

Even if you harvest the barley, it is better than putting it in the ground to provide grain and grass for the golden people.

Li Yanhui said: "The minister has already issued a decree to the envoys of all roads under the government yesterday, and they are not allowed to collect taxes from the people in the second half of the year. ”

"So now our tax collection is going to be used until next spring."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo's head was big.

No way.

Still can't help it.

But what about next spring?

At that time, after the Song-Jin War, the north was in ruins.

At that time, I am afraid that the finances of the imperial court will also collapse.

This is Zhao Shuo's biggest concern.

Because for a court to be strong, it must first have a virtuous circle of tax collection system.

If there is no money, or tax breaks.

Then the whole system will be in a half-dead state.

When the time comes, the soldiers on the front line will have to eat and eat.

The soldiers who fought in the war needed military pay to support their families.

The imperial court does not have it, what should I do?

No money, only the emotional route?

That's pure.

At that time, even if Yue Fei had already prepared his Yue family's army, he would be without food and salary for a few months.

The soldiers are going to mutiny.

Yue Fei couldn't hold it back.

Zhao Shuo thought about it, and simply left the 12 million taels of silver to use on the blade first.

So he said: "Continue to allocate four million taels to Zong Ze." ”

"In addition, I will allocate another five million taels to Uncle Zhang at night."

"The remaining three million taels will be given to Li Gang."

There's no way around it.

Advance the payment of military salaries to the front.

When the time comes, it will be better to let the bigwigs in the three major armies in the north take precautions.

As for the civil officials of the imperial court, then owe it.

Anyway, after Zhao Shuo ascended the throne, he also sent them a fortune.

Those civil officials and doctors who can't get rid of their tails will not have to rely on the poor dozen taels of silver of the imperial court to make a living, right?

Heard the emperor say this.

Zhang Huaili glanced at Li Yanhui.

Li Yanhui said: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that it is impossible to make a fuss about the grain and grass now, so that the common people can be better than anything else in the war years, but we can activate the private business." ”

"Give them grain in exchange for salt and handicrafts."

"Well, that's a good idea, you can try to do it now."

"But the most important thing is that the situation on the front line must be grasped at any time, even if there is only a little food left, we must find a way to solve it for them as soon as possible."

Li Yanhui said helplessly: "Weichen will do the same, Your Majesty rest assured." ”

In fact, now Zhao Shuo also has the idea of commercial taxation in his heart.

However, it depends on the outcome of Sun Fu's negotiations with the Tangut people.

If Richard on the Western Xia side agrees to trade.

Da Song's business model can be directly translated into counter-trade.

In that case, it could greatly stimulate the supply of silk and handicrafts in the economically developed south of the Great Song Dynasty.

The green salt of Western Xia entered the Great Song Dynasty and was the first to go through the digestion and commercial operation of the north.

Finally, it flows south.

A lot of business value can be extracted in the process of the whole cycle.

There are more simple and crude ways to do this.

This method was also realized by Zhao Shuo from the process of killing those corrupt officials.

That is to grit his teeth and beat the Jin people down in the battle of Song and Jin this winter, and hold the white flag high.

In that case, the war reparations could make the Great Song eat a lot of money.

After all, the Jurchens were not rich in the first place.

But the big brother in the north in the past is rich.

Now the Jurchens have digested the Great Liao.

Soldiers alone can easily call on millions of people.

Isn't silver and gold more soft?

In addition, if the war is won, it will not only be able to regain the lost land, but also bring back the people who have suffered outside.

and then ruthlessly followed Yan Wu to buy a bamboo pole.

Then the rest of the things can be put inside the Great Song Dynasty and take it slowly.

With such an idea, Zhao Shuo must support the construction of military towns in the north at all costs.

Zhao Shuo said again: "Stabilize the military town first, and then talk about the rest slowly." ”

"But in addition to the military towns, the first priority should be to give relief to those refugees, so food, still food."

"Now food is the most important strategic material, and we can run out of money, but we must prepare enough food for the military and civilians. All the granaries of the Great Song Dynasty and the granaries under construction should be filled with grain. ”

"As long as the military and civilians feel that there is a way to live, then our northern defense line will never be breached."

When Zhang Huaili heard His Majesty say this, he knew that he was about to take on the heavy responsibility of collecting grain again.

Immediately, his scalp tingled.

Now in fact, the most melancholy person in the entire court is Zhang Huaili.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty no longer had any grain to collect.

Unless he does the same with Shen Zhaoqing and Ma Huaibang.

But that is to be killed by His Majesty.

Speaking of which, isn't this emperor embarrassing him?

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a word." Zhang Huaili asked helplessly.

"Say, Zhang Aiqing can say whatever he wants, and I will overcome the difficulties with you."

"Your Majesty, at present, there is an extreme shortage of food in our dynasty, and Weichen has conducted a detailed investigation in the household department, and there are currently 13 million victims in Hebei and Shandong alone."

"If you want to help them, the imperial court needs to invest 39 million stone of grain."

"And that doesn't include the wear and tear in the grain transportation process."

"In addition, we have to provide 30 million stone of grain to the north."

"Your Majesty, this ......" Zhang Huaili hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "This is definitely a shocking number. ”
