Chapter 676 - Standing Position Closing (continued)

Li Yunze knows very well what the result of Chang Ping falling into the hands of civilian officials is.

When he was still in this world, he might have been better, at most he would catch a batch and cut a batch every year.

But when he leaves this world, according to the traditional routine, the civil officials will fool the Son of Heaven first, and if they can't fool the prince, if they can't do it, then find a way to dissolve it in water, and then find the hand of the woman in the deep palace who is obedient.

As long as the eyes of the Son of Heaven can't see the place, it is really any demon and monster who will come out to perform.

As for the specific examples, there is no need to give examples, Li Yunze himself has experienced, seen, and heard too much.

It's not just that the regular liquidation can't be handed over to the civilian officials, and nothing can be handed over to them, otherwise it will inevitably give you a trick.

"Shaofu."

Hearing Li Yunze's call, Shaofu ordered Zhang Ou to hurriedly step forward and salute, "The minister is here." ”

"This matter will be handed over to the Prime Minister-General, handled by the Shaofu, and supervised by the Imperial Doctor, and must be completed as soon as possible."

The master father Yan, Zhang Ou, and Zhang Tang all saluted in response, "Oh." ”

Ji Di, who retreated, gave Gongsun Hong a look.

After a little hesitation, Gongsun Hong still said out loud, "Your Majesty, this matter is on a huge scale, and I am afraid that it will cost too much money and affect his affairs." ”

That's right.

Once Chang closed the position and began to collect grain, it was the largest grain merchant in the entire Han Dynasty.

Do a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division calculation.

At this time, all the private fields of the entire Han Dynasty except for the Huangzhuang, including the fields of the emperor's relatives and the fields of the kings in various places, totaled about 800 million mu.

It looks terrifying, but in fact, the acres of the Han Dynasty are different from the acres of the modern world, and the area is much smaller, about two-thirds.

Upper fields, medium fields, and lower fields are not counted.

Dry fields, terraced fields, and paddy fields are also not counted.

Not counting the different crops planted, rice husking or something, all take the median value.

Based on the income of one acre of land and two stones, the total annual output is about 1.6 billion stones.

Excluding the consumption of grain and rations, there can be more than 500 million stone of grain to sell.

Take an average price of 200 yuan a stone, which is an earth-shattering 100 billion yuan.

In terms of the taxes of the Han Dynasty, where can I find 100 billion yuan to buy grain?

The annual income of the imperial court of the Han Dynasty is 5 billion yuan, where is the salary enough for a drop in the bucket.

Of course, the actual grain production cannot be so high, because a large part of the land area needs to be planted with other crops, such as mulberry and hemp.

And there is also a rotational tillage system, where large tracts of land need to be fallow or something.

Except for the feudal fields of the nobles, the sealed fields of the kings, and the grain output of the Huangzhuang in various places, the farmers can really take out the lot, which is definitely not as much as imagined.

This amount is considered to be the maximum upper limit, the kind that farmers take out all the grain.

When it comes to actual operation, it is estimated that half of it will not be possible.

There was a lot of discussion in the Qingliang Palace, how to buy food if you don't have money?

Ji Di said again: "Why don't you lower the minimum purchase price? Even if it is only reduced by ten dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars can be saved. ”

Many people nodded in agreement, feeling that what they said made sense.

"Heh~~~"

Li Yunze couldn't help but laugh here.

These words are no problem to fool those emperors who grew up in the deep palace, but unfortunately Li Yunze can't work here.

"Who said you had to buy it all at once?"

Li Yunze waved his hand indifferently, "If the position is closed and the acquisition is opened, the wealth of the whole world will not be enough to smash into it." Of course, you have to count first. ”

His eyes looked at Yan Yi, "Here, do you know how much grain you have received this year?" ”

Yan Yi hurriedly came out to salute and responded, "Your Majesty, the autumn harvest in various counties is still going on one after another, and at present, only the autumn harvest statistics from all parts of the county have been sent. ”

The Han is huge in size and spans multiple dimensions.

The timing of the autumn harvest varies, and since the Kanto region is far away, it is certainly not possible to send the results of the statistics so quickly given the communication capabilities of this era.

Yan Yi followed and said, "This year, the wind and rain are smooth, and there are no major natural disasters. According to last year's records, when it is more than last year, it is at least 10% more. ”

Seeing that Yan Yi couldn't come up with specific data here, Li Yunze didn't talk nonsense, and simply said, "Just calculate according to the surplus grain counted in the hands of farmers, Jingzhao Mansion will start next month, and set up regular liquidation positions in various places, according to the local surplus grain statistics, and purchase them monthly, monthly."

Limited quantities. ”

The master father nodded solemnly, this is a good way, why didn't he expect that the Son of Heaven would charge in person.

Jingzhao Yin Zhengzhuang is also there, after all, he is the first magistrate in the world, and he works in Chang'an City, so he is naturally qualified to participate in the court meeting.

He stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, time is too tight to repair enough warehouses."

Seeing Li Yunze frowning again, Master Father Yan simply jumped out and shouted, "What Your Majesty said, don't you understand?!" When it comes to purchasing on a monthly basis, then a levy will be issued, and the warehouse that reserves the grain purchased in January will be repaired first! It's so stupid, can you do it well!

? ”

Anyone with the ability to see can see that Zheng Zhuang doesn't understand, but is just shirking it.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, this often closed position is under the management of the Shaofu, and the local yamen cannot reach in, but has the strength to take responsibility, so naturally there is no motivation to work.

Here, Zhang Ou also immediately said, "Shaofu should set up a standing order, urge the construction of standing positions everywhere in the world, if someone slacks off and shirks"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ou looked at the Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang, "I also hope that the Imperial Doctor will help." ”

"It's nature."

Zhang Tang smiled, "This is a matter ordered by the emperor to supervise, whoever dares to do anything in this matter, then use Han law to speak." ”

The arrangement between the master father Yan and Zhang Ou is a way to shirk and make small moves.

After all, they are all human spirits, and if they want to find trouble and shake the pot, there is a way.

But when Zhang Tang spoke, then things would be different.

This is a cool official, once he gets serious about doing things, he won't ask for any reason, what evidence, people just need a list!

It's still a list for the whole family!

So, cool officials are really useful sometimes.

Seeing that the eagles and dogs finally figured it out and began to come out, Li Yunze was also satisfied.

He added: "When all localities often close their warehouses to collect grain, they must find out who sells the grain. Only accept the grain sold by local peasant households, and must not accept those two grain dealers. ”

"If someone is greedy for ink, there is collusion between inside and outside. Whether it's the people of the local yamen or the people of the Shaofu, or the inspection of the imperial history of the imperial history platform"

Speaking of this, Li Yunze's eyes looked at Zhang Tang, "Can you handle it?" Or let Zhidu come? ”

Zhang Tang, who looked serious, saluted respectfully, "Minister, personally supervise!" ”

"Hmm."

When Li Yunze was tax-free, he converted the income of the fiefdoms and food estates of the nobles and emperors into specific income, and after transferring it to the Shaofu for statistics, the Shaofu distributed it.

The nominal food is still there, but the income has actually been transferred to the hands of Shaofu.

Most of the income from the food was converted into goods by Li Yunze, also to prevent too much grain from falling into the hands of the nobles.

This is also to curb the rise of second-tier traffickers

"When you collect grain, you have to sell it."

Li Yunze moved on to the next topic: "The price of selling grain, the prime minister will do it." The main purpose is not to make money, but to stabilize prices. It can be slightly higher than the purchase price, and the profit earned cannot exceed the cost of construction and maintenance. ”

The master father is naturally duty-bound." ”

Dahan is an agrarian country, so naturally there is no talk of urbanization.

But in fact, the size of the Han Dynasty is here, even if it is an agricultural country, but the number of urban populations in various places is also a huge number in general.

The noble emperors, the court officials and other officials don't need to think about it, they have the grain harvested by the emperor to pay for it, which is enough to feed the whole family.

There is no need to care about military rations, and the army's food supply is still mainly based on grain produced in Huangzhuang.

However, the population living in the market towns of various cities is as high as millions, and these people still have to rely on food to buy.

These people are the main customers who often close positions in various places.

Of course, when the harvest is scarce, local farmers will inevitably buy grain, after all, grain is never enough to eat.

Because the population of Dahan has been growing, it is an individual who has to consume food.

The matter of closing positions is settled.

After that, it was the prime minister's supervision, the Shaofu's work, and the imperial doctor's supervision.

As for the issue of start-up capital, Li Yunze opened the warehouse without hesitation.

The goods that Emperor Wenjing saved by diligence and thrift can be regarded as having a place to use.

The money that was saved year after year by breaking fingers, and even piled up on the money rope was rotten, began to be transported away in truckloads.

This money is used to activate the economy, which is much better than the countless palaces that Emperor Wu used to build in history.

The income of the imperial court is actually increasing.

Especially after the salt and iron official camp, it has increased significantly, which is also the source of Li Yunze's confidence in exempting the land tax.

More importantly, the imperial court held the right to mint coins, and moved from Zhongshan to the mint bureau in Shanglin Yuan, and started minting new money every day.

Moreover, at this time, the Han society was still at the level of lack of money, and it had not yet reached the stage of saturation and overbirth, which led to rising prices.

However, there is also a problem here, that is, the lack of copper in the Han Dynasty, which led to a gradual shortage of raw materials for coinage.

Li Yunze naturally would not mint iron coins to fool the people, and he must have used copper coins.

However, the lack of copper ore is an important problem.

Although this life does not plan to borrow too much from the power of the modern world, it is no problem to obtain mineral distribution information.

When it comes to copper ore, especially copper ore that is easy to mine and refine, it is naturally concentrated in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Jiangxi and Guangzhou.

It's just these places.

Li Yunze rubbed his chin and looked at the map of the Han Dynasty and said to himself, "There is another war." ”

Most of the large-scale copper mines that meet the level of mining and smelting in this era are concentrated in the land of Sanyue, as well as the territory of the Dian Kingdom and the Yelang Kingdom.

These places may nominally submit to the Han, but in fact they still live their own small lives.

There is not much to say, naturally the army will drive over.

It just so happened that Wei Qing and the others were about to come back, and it was time to think about things in the south.
