In September of the fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty Gaozong Dynasty, the Great Song Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou announced his abdication and passed the throne to the founding of the Gongning ** Jiedu envoy, the prince Zhao Yan, Zhao Gou This belongs to the inner Zen, and he retired to the emperor, and Zhao Yan sacrificed to heaven and earth after becoming the emperor and then called filial piety, and since then the Gaozong Dynasty has ended!

After Xiaozong Zhao Yan ascended the throne, he immediately granted amnesty, and at the same time set the country name: "Longxing" to worship Taishi Xiao Ming as the prime minister of the cabinet! began to launch the new policy on a large scale, ordering Xiao Ming to quell the turmoil in the country as quickly as possible, curb inflation and reduce prices, mobilize various resources across the country, and return the people of the Great Song Dynasty to a stable country!

After Xiao Ming took office, he immediately convened a meeting of the entire cabinet to formulate a three-step strategy to quell the chaos, the first is to transfer grain from overseas to China on a large scale, the second is to support the measures of exchanging Guanzi banknotes for silver coins, and start the latest round of the latest banknote issuance, and the third is the most important, to discuss the revision of the latest commercial trade law!

So from the next day, from the ports in the north to the southernmost ports, Weihai, Mizhou, Liancheng, Xiuzhou, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Fuzhou and other ports, a large number of merchant ships transporting grain began to dock, they came in an endless stream, unloaded a large amount of grain, and drove away again!

Just a few days later, the mountains of grain piled up at the wharf were pulled to all parts of the country by trains, horse-drawn carts, barges and other means of transportation! And the grain sack is clearly printed with three big characters: "Rixinglong" This is the name of the merchant! And until the insider's people know that Rixinglong is actually Richanglong!

Xiao Ming ordered the grain to go through the general sales channel, and generally to go through the donation channel, and to rely on the local government to distribute a large amount of grain to those areas where there is a food shortage, so that the grain does not belong to relief, but enough food for a family of five and a half a month's rations! In those cities where grain prices remain high, large sums of grain are sold at low prices, and within three days, grain prices in some major areas of the country are bound to fall.

The decree of the imperial court was immediately issued in the form of law, severely cracking down on those who hoarded some agricultural production and means of living, including grain, and the salt that used to be the most important for life was reduced by the state on a large scale, and other things such as sugar, oil, spices, vegetables and fruits were controlled to a very low level!

In addition to meat, all life must be reduced in a large area, and not long after, a large number of beef and mutton and dairy products appeared in the market, which Xiao Ming used the large area of pasture in Liaodong base to mobilize to the mainland, so the price of meat slowly calmed down!

Grain prices are the basis of all commodity prices, and once the price of grain falls, the prices of various theories or necessities will also be lowered, and the prices of major agricultural products, wheat, rice, and beans in the whole country and even in the capital have fallen to a record low. 【 High Quality Update 】

The role of silver coins as circulating currency in the market is becoming more and more important, and the second issuance of banknotes organized by Xiao Ming is also in full swing, this time the issuance is all small banknotes, but the value of the currency is linked to gold, and it is also linked to the silver coins in the market.

At present, the popular silver coins are based on three and a half coins as the standard, and the fineness is the best overseas silver coins that Xiao Ming secretly entered the market, but in the market transactions, many people use scissors to cut the silver coins and then weigh them according to the small amount of currency for the lack of money.

Therefore, the "Longxing coins" issued this time are all small banknotes, which are divided into standard units, ten cents for one dime, ten jiao for one penny, equivalent to one silver coin, and the customization of the dime banknote for one dime, two jiao, five jiao, and ten jiao! The banknotes are indefinite, and the banknotes are beautifully printed, and they are exchanged for a gold coin in exchange for a three-thousand-jiao banknote. For it was originally possible to exchange a tael of silver for a gold coin.

Xiao Ming is deliberately recovering gold, and at the same time he released the news that he has discovered the mainland of New Song Prefecture far overseas, which is rich in gold, and Richanglong has sent a huge fleet to Xinsongzhou for trade and gold panning, and the financial support of this voyage is supported by the exclusive sponsorship of Richang Longsheng Bank.

This is undoubtedly a public claim to the strength of the Richang Longsheng Bank, and the strong gold reserves behind the Richang Longsheng Bank, which is mainly a note-issuing bank, make more people feel at ease about it, and at the same time, the factory and commercial loans that have been suspended for a long time have also begun to be carried out on a large scale, that is because the bank has more preferential loans!

After the turmoil, the industry and commerce of the Great Song Dynasty slowly recovered, and at the same time, Xiao Ming began to implement the construction of important ports in the northern and western parts of the Central Plains, as well as Goryeo Road and Japan Road, these projects were a huge demand for the entire Song Dynasty industry, and the pace of industrial and commercial construction was greatly accelerated to stimulate the entire industrial and commercial industry!

The original First Bank of the Great Song Dynasty, because the entire management relied on the royal family and the household department, it no longer had a relative credit foundation, so Xiao Ming ordered the household department to sell shares to the outside, and as a result, Richang Longsheng re-entered the first bank with 60% of the absolute equity, and Ai Qili became the general manager of the bank as the second supervisor!

Zhao Hao gave Xiao Ming great power, even including the pricing power of taxes, Xiao Ming lowered the entire commercial tax again, the second is to increase the operating tax on industrial products, and at the same time continue to be tax-free for those places that have been in the grain shortage for two years, and the local agricultural production has been restored, but in the third year, he will increase the agricultural tax appropriately!

In fact, this policy is superimposed, those who go to the marginal areas to engage in land reclamation still enjoy tax exemption treatment, this is a double subsidy policy, through commercial compensation for agriculture, and at the same time use agriculture to compensate for industry, but he considered that it is still necessary to appropriately limit the development speed of industry, and retain those industries with high-quality assets, so as not to be impacted by a large number of rough factories.

After a period of rectification, the Great Song Kingdom slowly recovered, many factories reopened, the people in the troubled areas gradually returned to the normal track of life, and the farmers were assigned some strange crop seeds to start cultivating, and these farmers who chose new crops could enjoy tax exemption!

Commerce is also slowly recovering, a large number of materials and merchants from overseas markets continue to pour into the borders of the Great Song Dynasty, the market has regained prosperity, and the ordinary people have seen such things very clearly, and many people have begun to worship Xiao Ming's ranking at home again, and Xiao Ming's prestige has reached its peak again!

During the same period, Xiao Ming checked the tenure of court officials in the two years of his absence, and found a big problem, the year he went to Japan to conquer happened to be the most solemn spring imperial examination in the Great Song Dynasty, which was very successful and even caused a sensation.

Some of the sensational talents were all admitted to the Jinshi! This includes Yang Wanli, Lu You, Xin Qiji, Liu Ziyu, Zhang Shao, Zhu Ben and Hong Hao, who was later known as the head of the Four Floods of the Southern Song Dynasty! are all rare pillars of the country, but after these people were admitted to the Jinshi, they were all arranged by Gaozong to be editors in the Hanlin Academy!

This is undoubtedly a huge waste, among which Lu Jiuyuan, Chen Liang, Ye Shi, Fan Chengda, Yang Wanli, You Yuan, Xin Qiji, Hong Hao and others are all in charge of the party, and good seedlings to govern the place, it seems that the many years of malpractice left by the entire Gaozong Dynasty have reached the point where it is not rectified!

So Xiao Ming began a drastic reform of the imperial court bureaucracy, comprehensively spread the cabinet election law to the entire ministry of officials, persuaded many old ministers, and also used a lot of new people, such as Zhao Kai and others, who were very good at cashing in the local area, were all entrusted with important tasks to become Beijing officials, and some of the original inactive bureaucrats were all persuaded to retire!

Among the old ministers, Lu Yihao and Fan Zongyi were the leaders, the two were already old, and when Gaozong, as the first assistant of the cabinet, he was unable to change the emperor's mind and finally resigned angrily, this time Xiao Ming gave them the idle post of general adviser, on the one hand, let them retire in the capital, on the other hand, they also wanted them to help him help him grasp the cabinet, but at the same time he began to use a large number of new people.

Within the military, Wang Shu was ill and resigned, but was retained by Xiao Ming, and at the same time promoted Liu Qi, Wu Jue and others to the Privy Council, Wu Jue's brother Wu Lu was appointed as the lieutenant of the Inner Cabinet with outstanding military merits, Xiao Ming asked him to start the formation of the Beijing Armed Alert and Supervision Brigade with the people of the original Guards Patrol Division! And to the whole country!

Xue Bingchang was dismissed from the position of the pedestrian division by Xiao Ming, but he was appointed to sit as the president of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Chamber of Commerce, which was specially used to designate the country's commercial laws and regulations! And gave him the name of a straight bachelor of Hui Xuan Pavilion! Xue Bingchang is naturally grateful to Dade, his business and wealth are continuous, and Xiao Ming still misses incense very much.

The Great Song Dynasty is now working hard to govern the whole weather, but Xiaozong Zhao Hao is not very satisfied, he is Ding Jianpeng's apprentice, his mind is full of ideas of democracy and the legal system, but when he became the emperor, his thoughts have also changed, Xiao Ming is not convenient to face the reminder in this regard, but he sent a book to Zhao Hao, but Zhao Hao has a strong interest in the ocean.

That book is the "Zhufan Zhilu" painted by the sailor craftsman who was good at Danqing on the "Thunder Dragon" where Xiao Ming went to the American continent last time, and the manuscript was type-printed by someone after Xiao Ming returned to Shuri, and this book can be said to be the earliest written and pictorial record of the Arctic Ocean, the Bering Sea, the Aleutian Islands and the American continent for the first time by the Chinese!

Zhao Hao was deeply attracted by the illustrated content above, and from the beginning of the idea of yearning for overseas frontiers, Xiao Ming wanted him to be tired of the position of emperor, so he privately appointed Zhao Hao as the commander-in-chief of the Ocean Navy! He was often asked to go to Zhoushan and other places to inspect and cruise the naval ports.

Although this ocean navy still belongs to Xiao Ming's private army, but Xiao Ming can no longer insist on retaining jurisdiction, he renamed the ocean navy as the Song Dynasty Royal Ocean Navy, first liberated from the finances, let it be administratively separated, of course, it is a relatively long process, first of all, in the military to make the entire Privy Council an independent military council, and subject to the constraints of the entire cabinet council, this is Xiao Ming's next cabinet reform.

At the same time, Han Shizhong, who went to Tubo in the Great Song Dynasty, brought good news that after several large-scale battles and offensives in two summers, the military strength of the entire Tubo Kingdom had collapsed, and the Tubo King had fled to the distant mountain kingdom of Li Chawei Kingdom, and Han Shizhong held the sect leaders of the entire Tubo Kingdom hostage.

Judging from the time when the news came, not long after, Han Shizhong returned to the court, and at the same time brought back a lama living Buddha named "Kamam Phuntsok" by a religious leader from the Tubo State!

Xiao Ming was naturally very happy when he heard it, even the ** lama of the people was captured alive, as long as he persuaded this great lama, then the entire Tubo could be annexed to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the southwest border would always be the feudal town of the Great Song Dynasty, this is not just a matter of expanding the territory, but the issue of ethnic integration that Xiao Ming has always thought about!
