Chapter Seventy-Five: The Black-Hearted Qin Hui

He is familiar with the daily reports of the three divisions, and the treasury is so poor that after years of war, how can he get these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?

Qin Hui had already calculated, and when he saw that the official family asked, he smiled and said, "The official family, the treasury does not have it, but someone has it!" ”

Zhao Gou's dim eyes suddenly brightened, "Who has it?" ”

"Shen Wanshu! According to the minister, the millions of acres of land in her hands can also be sold a lot every year! Coupled with the money-making Da Song Bank and the Drunken Hibiscus Restaurant, 500,000 taels is a drop in the ocean for her! ”

Zhao Gou hesitated a little, "Qin Qing, the grain and grass of the army around Kaifeng are all supplied by her, what reason does the imperial court have to ask her for money?" ”

Qin Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty! Tax! Levy 'income tax on wealthy businessmen' at 40% of their income! With Shen Wanshu's taxes, Hugh said that it was 500,000 taels, even if it was one million taels, I Da Song could afford it. ”

Zhao Gou frowned, although Shen Wanshu was a merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, the wealth and power she possessed had made the imperial court unable to turn a blind eye. Moreover, if a part of the wealth can be obtained from her by means of taxation, it can also relieve the pressure on the treasury. So, he nodded and motioned for Qin Hui to continue.

Qin Hui smiled and said, "In addition, Chen also learned that Shen Wanshu's commercial houses and restaurants in various places conduct a large number of commercial activities every year. His Majesty could ask her to hand over a certain amount of profit as a contribution to the imperial court. This can not only directly increase the financial revenue of the imperial court, but also let those wealthy businessmen know that the imperial court is not without means. ”

Zhao Gou's heart moved after hearing this, such a practice can not only increase the financial revenue of the imperial court, but also suppress businessmen like Shen Wanshu. Although such an approach may make a businessman like Shen Wanshu a little dissatisfied, in the long run, it will be good for the finances and stability of the imperial court.

So he nodded and agreed to Qin Hui's suggestion. Then he said lightly, "Just do as you say." The decree was immediately drafted, and at the same time the Dajin envoy Zhang Tonggu was notified. ”

Qin Hui smiled slightly and took the order to leave. Zhao Gou's eyes revealed a trace of firmness and determination, he knew that this decision was not only for the finances of the imperial court, but also for the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yingluo led more than 10,000 troops straight to Wei County, and after she planned to capture Wei County,

Quickly cross the Yellow River to support the river defenses and prevent the Jin army from moving south. However, she didn't realize that after her departure, the Great Song court had undergone significant changes.

Qin Hui, with the support of Zhao Gou, quickly took control of the situation in the imperial court. He first ordered Lu Yihao to be kicked out of the clean room, and then began to implement his plan. He first ordered the three divisions to report to him daily on the income and expenditure of the state treasury so that he could accurately grasp the financial situation of the country. Then, he began to formulate a series of taxation and collection plans, preparing to attack wealthy businessmen like Shen Wanshu.

At the same time, Zhao Gou was also thinking about how to better control the situation in the Great Song Dynasty. He began to express support for Qin Hui's plan, but at the same time offered some opinions of his own. He pointed out that taxing and levying taxes on businessmen like Shen Wanshu could cause them resentment and resistance, so caution must be exercised. He also pointed out that if relations with the country could be resolved diplomatically, then these taxes and levies might not be necessary.

However, Qin Hui did not listen to Zhao Gou's opinion. He insisted that the Great Song could no longer afford a war with the Jin State, so the relationship with the Jin State must be resolved as soon as possible. He even said that if diplomacy could not resolve relations with Jin, then he would personally go to Jinying to negotiate with Jin.

Zhao Gou was moved by Qin Hui's determination. He began to believe that relations with Kim could only be resolved by peaceful means. Therefore, he decided to support Qin Hui's plan and ordered the Third Division and the Household Department to implement it immediately.

With the implementation of Qin Hui's plan, the financial situation of the Great Song court gradually improved. However, this did not satisfy Zhao Gou and Qin Hui. They knew that only through long-term efforts and reforms could the Great Song Dynasty really get out of trouble. As a result, they began to formulate a series of reform programs in preparation for a comprehensive political, economic, and cultural reform of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the process, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui also realized that in order to realize these reform plans, they must have a strong military as a backing. Therefore, they began to strengthen the construction and training of the army in order to improve the military strength of the Great Song.

Over time, the reform programs of the Great Song court gradually began to work. The country's financial situation is gradually improving, and the strength of the army is growing. And in the process, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui also became one of the great monarchs and ministers in the history of the Great Song Dynasty. Their names will forever be etched in history.

And in this process, Zhao Yingluo's actions also played a key role. She led an army of more than 10,000 to quickly capture Wei County, and then quickly crossed the Yellow River, successfully stopping the Jin army from moving south. Her actions attracted the attention of the imperial court, and Zhao Gou and Qin Hui also expressed their appreciation and support for her.

However, Zhao Yingluo did not stop. She knew that only through continuous fighting and hard work could she truly strive for more victories and benefits for the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, she continued to lead the army in battles in the area north of the Yellow River, constantly striking at the power of the Jin army and expanding the territory and influence of the Great Song.

In the process, Zhao Yingluo also realized that in order to achieve greater victory, it is necessary to have a stronger army and a better strategy. Therefore, she began to carry out the reform and training of the army in order to improve the combat effectiveness and quality of the army. She also actively explored new tactics and strategies, constantly learning and innovating to better respond to the needs of war.

Over time, Zhao's reforms and training gradually came into play. Her army is getting stronger and more combative. Under her leadership, the Great Song army began to achieve a series of important victories, recovering a large amount of territory and successfully containing the Jin army's offensive.

In this process, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui also gave Zhao Yingluo firm support and trust. They know that only through such efforts and dedication can they truly strive for more victories and benefits for the Great Song Dynasty. As a result, they began to formulate a series of reform programs in preparation for a comprehensive political, economic, and cultural reform of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the end, thanks to Zhao Yingluo's efforts and dedication, the Great Song Dynasty court successfully achieved comprehensive political, economic and cultural reforms, and the country's strength continued to increase. And Zhao Yingluo has also become one of the great women in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, and her name will be forever engraved in the long river of history.
