Because he didn't know what the attitude of the Zhu father and son was towards Gao Yu, Li Bangyan only mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't expect Zhu Ming to order a summons the next day.

In the evening of the same day, Gao Yu rushed to Li's house to thank him.

Li Bangyan said unashamedly: "I am for your business, but I took the risk of good words, and finally said that Marshal Lang Jun was moved." When you see the marshal, you must answer carefully, and don't talk nonsense, so that I will have to eat and hang. ”

"I will be cautious in my words and deeds," Gao Yu said gratefully, "Thank you Li Xiang for recommending him to become rich and prosperous in the future, and I will not forget to repay Li Xiang's kindness." ”

Li Bangyan said with emotion: "There are only a few old Song Dynasty ministers left, and we should support each other in the future." ”

Gao Yu responded: "Remember Li Xiang's teachings below." ”

Li Bangyan also said: "If you get an official, you must do things well, and you must not be like before." ”

Gao Yu hurriedly said yes.

The two talked and talked a lot of old things, and the relationship was straightened out.

Gao Yu happily went home, bathed and changed clothes, and repaired his hair. He felt that his hair was gray and old, so he sent someone to find a hair dyeer overnight, but the whole city was curfew and could not enter at all. And most of the hair dyers outside the city closed down due to a lack of customers.

After searching around the city, I finally called the hairdresser.

Hair dye is mainly made of lotus seed grass, adding pine leaves, green tung white bark, jujube root white bark, parsnip, angelica, Xin Yiren, root and other medicinal materials, and even a lot of spices are added to high-grade goods. Not only are they all natural ingredients, but they also have a long-lasting fragrance and have the function of hair care and hair nourishment.

"Captain's hair is well raised...... "The hairdye praised as soon as he got started.

Gao Yu hurriedly said: "Don't shout Tai Lieutenant, that's the official position of the former dynasty." ”

The hairdresser immediately changed his words: "Xianggong's hair is very good, but the hair dye cream in my hand has insulted Xianggong's respectful hair." Nowadays, many medicinal materials are scarce, and spices are not easy to buy. ”

"It's black, just add some fragrance." Gao Yu can only make do with it.

The next day, Gao Yu entered the palace in good spirits.

His hair was dyed black and fragrant, and he wore a red round-necked robe and a elytra hat on his head.

As the Yuan Cong of Song Huizong's Qiandi, Gao Yu has entered the palace countless times, and this time his mentality is completely different, and he was as apprehensive as when he first entered the palace.

Qian Chen, the head of the household, was discussing things with the father and son.

"The curfew should be lifted, at least for a long time, and the city gates should be closed all night," Qian Chen said, "otherwise, many shops and tiles will be unbought, and a large number of people will not be able to find a livelihood." ”

Zhu Guoxiang nodded in agreement: "It's time to lift the curfew." ”

Zhu Ming asked, "Is there still no one to pounce on Fan Lou?" ”

Qian Chen replied: "Not only Fan Lou, but also any slightly larger hotels and tiles, no businessmen are willing to come to buy them. First, there is not enough food, and secondly, there are not enough guests, and whoever dares to buy it will definitely lose money. ”

The official full name of Fan Lou is called "Bailulou Hotel".

It is not only a comprehensive entertainment venue, but also a brewing company that has contracted the liquor tax. There are 3,000 shops in Tokyo, and if you want to sell alcohol, you have to buy it from Fan Lou, and it is illegal to buy alcohol elsewhere for a long time.

Qian Chen suggested: "The buying price of Fan Lou can be set lower temporarily. In the first year, in the second year, the merchant will make a move. According to the previous price, the merchant was not even willing to pay the reserve price. ”

The ownership of the top consumption places in Kaifeng was nationalized by the Northern Song Dynasty and contracted to merchants in the form of bidding.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of materials, consumption in Tokyo is sluggish, and businessmen are not even interested in bidding.

Before, Fan Lou was contracted by the Cao family, but now the Cao family has been forced to relocate, but they don't know which one to look for.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "The hotel and the brewery in Fanlou will be separated from the two operations to attract investment, and they will not be combined again in the future." The floor price of the buy can be lowered, and even allow the buyer to operate in a joint venture. When issuing a license, write down the shares of each company to avoid future lawsuits. ”

Qian Chenjiu worked under the father and son, and knew that "shares" were "work".

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "A person who buys a flutter must first establish a business name and then buy a flutter business as a firm. From now on, no more personal contributions are allowed. ”

"It's really more standardized." Qian Chen praised.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "I have already read the recital you presented, and there are basically no mistakes, but some changes have been made in the details. The household department will resume operation as soon as possible, and the officials below the fifth grade in each department of the household department will be allowed to nominate ten people to fill the post on their own. ”

"Yes!" Qian Chen was overjoyed.

The tax system of the Song Dynasty has been adjusted many times, and here we only talk about the situation after the reform of Yuanfeng -

Most of the financial rights belong to the Ministry of Households, and under the Ministry of Households, there are various divisions and cases.

First, the Department of Household Affairs, which is in charge of household registration, taxation, and forced labor (mainly agricultural taxes).

Second, the Department of Fiscal Affairs is in charge of financial audits and formulates national financial plans.

Third, the Ministry of Finance, which is in charge of the treasury cashier, the transfer of gold, silver and copper coins, and the formulation of weights and measures, and also manages part of the tax revenue (mainly industrial and commercial tax).

Fourth, the Warehouse Department is in charge of the storage and cashier of the state-level warehouse, such as the industrial, agricultural and commercial taxes transported from the local government, which must be sent to the Warehouse Department for unified management.

Each division is subdivided into a number of cases.

For example, the tax case under the jurisdiction of the household department is in charge of summer and autumn taxes, real estate tax, monk exemption money, and various fixed taxes.

In the past, there was an extremely important Ministry of Salt and Iron, and after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the functions and powers were split into the various departments of the Ministry of Household and the Tea and Horse Division.

These tax institutions have been set up relatively reasonably, and their long-term operation has become mature, and the Zhu father and son have not made major changes.

The real big change is Taifu Temple!

This thing used to be called Dasi Nong, and it had nothing to do with agriculture, but was the country's chief financial officer.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were three divisions in the front, and then they belonged to the household department, and the financial power was all under control. However, Taifu Temple has not been canceled, and most of its functions and powers coincide with the three divisions and the household department, which is a bit like the place where the emperor used to grab financial power with the three divisions and six departments.

What did Song Huizong do?

Taifu Temple originally only had two libraries in the north and south, and Huizong of the Song Dynasty built two new libraries in the east and west, and then continued to launch a large number of libraries, courtyards, and institutes.

The taxes from the household department and the tea and horse division, and the tributes and flowers and stones from all over the country, I don't know how many of them were collected by the Taifu Temple. Through Taifu Temple, Song Huizong monopolized countless goods from all over the country.

It is said that it is the emperor's inner library, and it does belong to the state institution, and Taifu Siqing is still one of the nine qing.

It is said to be a state institution, but it is independent of the financial system and has become a private tool of the emperor to exploit the world. For example, the notorious Xicheng Institute is nominally affiliated with Taifu Temple.

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Strike Taifu Temple, and the authority belongs to the household department. ”

Qian Chen's mouth opened wide, as if he couldn't believe it.

Taifu Siqing is one of the nine Qings, and the entire department is directly abolished, and it has to be integrated into the household department he is in charge of.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "The inner treasury should also be clarified, and in the future, as the imperial treasury, it will be completely cut off from the treasury of the imperial court. ”

The inner treasury was originally Zhao Kuangyin's small treasury, not for enjoyment, but for the sake of not trusting the minister of civil and military affairs, hoarding money for emergencies. At least when there is a rebellion in various places, you can also take out a sum of money to raise troops yourself, and then take these troops to quell the rebellion.

Over the past 100 years, there has gradually been no separation between public and private.

When there is a surplus, money is stuffed into the treasury, and when the finances are in distress, money is asked to be paid from the treasury. Sometimes it is allocated to local emergencies, which seems to be selfless; However, it continues to reach out and even participates in the collection of tolls and shop taxes.

As the chief minister of finance, in order to win the favor of the emperor, the three envoys gradually became the treasurer of the inner treasury, and stuffed the taxes from all walks of life into the inner treasury.

What's even more outrageous is that the inner library is directly involved in business!

Wang Anshi's reform of the content of commerce, the core institution in the capital is the city of Yiwu.

At that time, foreign merchants transported goods to the capital, and Beijing merchants joined forces to suppress the goods and prevent them from selling, so that the merchants could only sell at low prices, seriously disrupting the commercial order in Tokyo.

Wang Anshi made a market change business, allowing official capital to participate in market regulation, and the emperor's treasury took money to participate in shares as start-up capital. The city was later in a mess, almost equivalent to usury and forced buying and selling, and the emperor actually became the head of the usury.

The biggest businessman in Kaifeng Mansion is none other than the emperor!

Qian Chen asked: "How to define the source of wealth in the inner treasury?" ”

Zhu Ming opened his mouth and said: "After the taxes from all over the country arrive in the capital, they will be converted into gold and silver in proportion and sent directly to the inner treasury for storage. As for what this proportion is, it has not yet been decided, and it depends on the specific fiscal and tax situation in the future. ”

"Yes!" Qian Chen took the order.

Qian Chen took the latest financial reform plan and left the palace with a surging heart.

The cancellation of the Taifu Temple and the cutting of the inner treasury made the household department more powerful.

He, the head of the household, is one of the best, but at least he can rank in the top three of the six.

The main thing is that no one is restrained, unlike the old Song Dynasty, there are a bunch of grandfathers on the head of the household book that need to be offered.

After Qian Chen left, Zhu Ming asked: "Do you want to classify these enterprises in Fanlou as the private property of the royal family?" But it is not directly operated by the royal family, and it is still bought by private businessmen? ”

Zhu Guoxiang shook his head and said: "In the past few days, I have been looking at the financial files of the old Song Dynasty, which can only be described as 'public and private, a mess'. As the emperor's small treasury, the inner treasury could not only directly obtain national taxes, but also collect goods in kind for official sale. In every link, you can take the opportunity to embezzle, and eunuchs and civil officials are full of brains. If Fan Lou is classified as the imperial property, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape this result. ”

Zhu Ming said: "If it is handed over to the government to operate as a state-owned enterprise, it will be a mess, and in the end it will definitely be contracted to the emperor's relatives, just like the Cao family has contracted Zhao Song's Fan Lou for a long time." ”

Zhu Guoxiang sighed: "This kind of thing cannot be eradicated in ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, power and money are always natural fox friends and dog friends." No matter how good the system is, it can only maintain the basic framework for the time being. If the day comes, even the basic framework cannot be maintained, future generations will ask for more blessings. ”

Neither father nor son is worried about the lack of money for the royal family in the future, and if the emperor does not have the means to make money, he can only be said to be an incompetent person.

But a value orientation needs to be determined......

Zhu Ming said: "The share of the royal family's financial resources in the customs should be set higher, and guide the future emperor to attach importance to maritime trade." ”

"That's a good idea." Zhu Guoxiang agreed.

The father and son talked for a while, and Gao Yu was brought in.

This one didn't care whether it was etiquette or not, and knelt directly on the ground: "The old Song Dynasty criminal minister Gao Yu, knock to see the Jingluo Xianggong, knock to see the marshal Langjun!" ”
