"What are you doing, don't you just want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?"

After listening to Old Man Xia's explanation, the heart of the equation was divided into two.

A heart is praised, there are many high-level talents in the Wu Dynasty, milk powder, butter, syrup, and a surprise attack on Xuansu's strategy as a prestige, and it will be put forward in a scattered way, and it is connected in a way that the equation has not expected.

Such a string, grasping with both hands and being hard with both hands, not to mention the Xianbei grassland tribes that were originally indifferent to the Wanyan family and were taken under the obscenity, even if they were loyal to the Wanyan family, they couldn't stop it!

The other one is complaining, whether it is cream or butter, all of them are painted cakes, and the abacus beads are splashed on the face of the equation, and there is no wealth in the hand.

They also know that the interests are not enough, and winning over is equivalent to winning over in vain, but why use a big pie to smash it!

Give money!

If you use money to smash it, you will take it first, and you don't believe that the high-level officials of the Wu Dynasty don't understand.

To put it bluntly, I am still reluctant!

The grassland trade and the exchange of what there is or not, the grassland that the Wu Dynasty ignored and turned into the grassland of the raw material supply place, can it still escape the exploitation of the Wu Dynasty?

But if you don't give it, you just draw cakes, vainly trying to use empty cakes to draw people over and give uncertainty to the future.

Isn't that?

Equation rubbed his temples and looked at the old man Xia who was flushed with a speechless face, "Don't explain, I know why you did something, this is unwilling and reluctant!" ”

"But things are not how to do it, money, this thing, alien, afraid of power but not virtuous, there is a small courtesy but no righteousness, or if you don't smash it, you will smash it ruthlessly, and you will smash things through at once!"

Syllable!

Snapping his fingers, the equation stopped Old Man Xia from speaking with his eyes, "To put it bluntly, or you have too little knowledge of money, for example, I owe you consistently, you owe Huang An consistently, Huang An owes me consistently, I am now the fourth person to borrow consistently, talking about the money back to you, you are returning it to Huang An, Huang An finally returned it to me, I am returning the money to the one who lent me money, walking down in a circle, none of us owe money, so who earned and who lost in the process?" ”

“……”

is a very simple little story, but the old man Xia and Huang Anqi were stunned, and a thousand words in their hearts were choked into a wordless.

"Money is wealth only when it flows!"

"The example I just gave is by no means just an example, but it generally occurs in public at all levels of society in the Wu Dynasty, this way of indebting each other is more concentrated in the martial arts and low-level officials, this group is in the society of the Wu Dynasty, up and down!"

"People have expectations for their own future, ordinary people dare not consume, that is because they are expected to have no growth, grassroots martial artists, low-level officials are different, they have good expectations for the future, for this expectation they are willing to continue to invest in themselves, what if the family has no money?"

"Borrow!"

"I also lend them money, and I also recognize their expectations, is the military merit system, the details of the rising channels, and I am willing to lend them money if I am borrowed!"

"Can you pay it back?"

The equation spread his hands, his eyes lingered with Old Man Xia and Huang An.

"No, the income is too low, and I don't know the situation of the martial arts, but I know that after the implementation of the eighth-level labor system, many middle-level craftsmen who are eager to change their status quo have made a big deal in less than half a month after paying off their debts at the beginning!" Huang An smiled bitterly, "As you said, it is expected that they are very optimistic about their future!" ”

The Wu Dynasty was too poor, and he was short of money everywhere, so he couldn't borrow to get by.

It's good to be able to borrow money, no status, no future, who will lend you money?

After the implementation of the eight-level labor system, why do so many low-level officials want to make trouble, in the final analysis, it is all about money.

"The expectation is very good, but the future is full of uncertainty, you must know that borrowing money itself is also a cost, acquaintances are favors, money between interests, the biggest accident in life, is that there are accidents everywhere, once something happens, it is good, or bad, once the money is not paid, the process just now is stuck!"

"It's still the example just now, Lao Xia, you took the money and paid it back to Huang An, at this time, Huang An's family suddenly needs money, let alone pay me back, he has to continue to borrow, at this time the debts are piling up on Huang An, and I can't exchange the money of the fourth person because I can't get Huang An's money, so what should I do?"

"I don't want to continue to borrow money, then I will live a hard life, the money will not be repaid for the time being, and at the same time reduce the quality of life, gritting my teeth to save the money in the shortest time!"

"How to do it is no problem for individuals, but it has a great impact on the country's finance and taxation, the Wu Dynasty did not have a clear commercial tax, but there was a city gate tax, salt tax, slaughter tax, city tax, a person's consumption downgrade can not affect the overall situation, but a group of people, the whole society has done what the middle and lower classes, where does the finance and tax come from?"

"There is no finance and taxation, and those who rely on finance and taxation to eat can get a guarantee, and they still want to be rewarded, but without a reward, they naturally have no money left, how can they repay the money?"

"The final result is that the poorer the people, the poorer the country!"

knocked on the table, and the equation was held in his hands, "I don't believe it, you can compare the city gate tax in the previous year and the first month of the month with the usual days, I believe that it is not one or two times, but four or five times, because regardless of the finances of the Wu Dynasty, the household department of Layue and the inner government will send a large amount of rewards!" ”

Old man Xia shook his head, "No need to compare, I know this data, the city gate tax in the month of Layue and the first month is nine times that of the past, I thought this was a reward, plus the New Year's Pass, I didn't think about it deeply!" ”

"Also, how much is the reward? Ordinary soldiers are only paid one month's salary, and officials are only two months, how can this money be evenly divided, how can it bring nine times the city gate tax? ”

"The reason is clear, and the solution is very simple, give money!"

"Of course it's not a random give!"

"The debt problem is not just my problem!" The equation paused, pointing to the southwest, "Specific analysis of the specific situation, compared with our debt, the debt problem of the Song Dynasty is greater, Luoyang is not easy, the Song Dynasty officials are several times more than us, and the higher the civil officials, the more annual salaries!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Song Chaoyi has a hundred guan in the same month as the three divisions, and sixty guan in the special advance, that is, one hundred and sixty guan a month, plus the reward of the festival, nearly two thousand guan in the whole year!"

"This is also not alive!"

Old man Xia, Huang Anqi nodded, the Song people's fortune is high, but the price expenditure is even more terrifying, after many civil officials retire, if there is no family support behind them, the life will be a small landlord.

"And this is the second characteristic of money, money and actual wealth are not equal, simply said that money is not wealth, just a concrete representation of wealth, and the concrete process is affected by various factors!"

"We don't have the conditions of the Song Dynasty, and we don't have the high prices of the Song Dynasty, and the life of the middle layer of society in our Dynasty is actually no worse than that of people with the same income in the Song Dynasty, but because of the blessing of the military merit system, life is easier!"

"Not only is it easy, if the family has real estate, the officials who have passed the seventh grade, not only have a better life, but there are still more than a dozen taels of silver left every year!" Huang An echoed.

The Song Dynasty had special awards, and the Wu Dynasty also had military merit pensions, which were given to the living and the dead.

Above the seventh grade, the credit of more than three turns is basically pinched in the hands, and at this point, the good side of the military merit system will be powerful.

100 acres of Yongye field under the name, taken care of by a special person, the output is generally attributed to the household department, and the remaining half is allocated to the officials themselves, relying on the output of 50 acres, official uniforms, often followed, travel, all can be preferential, and the official salary basically does not need to be used.

In addition, middle- and lower-level officials have no business dealings, except for the living environment is a little smaller, and the others are really not comparable to high-level officials.
