Chapter 464: Fiscal Deficit
Chapter 464 Fiscal Deficit
Mrs. Cheng's epitaph is from Sima Guang.
"The poor do not defile their husbands, and the rich do not think they are burdened by their sons. Knowledge of mechanics can show its door, and the straight road can be glorious in the world.
The husband teaches the son, the bottom is in the glory, the longevity is not full of virtue, and the blessing should be given to the heirs. ”
This is the scholar's high praise for traditional women.
And Wang Fu's epitaph came from the hand of Da Su.
Da Su's article only distilled a few small things, some praise, some discussions, both lamenting Wang's early death, and consoling that he could be filial to his mother.
Later generations commented: The ink is not complicated, but the woman's virtue has been seen. The inscription is sad, not in words.
Su You looked at Da Su with a sad face, and comforted: "Three articles, enough to comfort the people under the spring, Zizhan is an open-minded person, when he knows that he is old and sick, it is also the metabolism of life." ”
Su Zhe bowed down and said: "Uncle Xiao, you better go back quickly, there are many outways people in the court, and they will impeach you by leaving their posts without permission." ”
Su You had been impeached before, but even if he was lucky, there were so many things in the court that he didn't even pay attention to the two concerts of the Southwest Copper Politics.
In the southwestern border states, no one even cares if they don't take office, let alone sneak to the side states for half a month.
As a result, Su You didn't even have a chance to use the excuse of using the identity inspection of the transshipment to excuse himself.
But now is indeed an extraordinary time, Su You also nodded: "Zi You can talk to Zi Zhan more, and now there are many books in Meishan, you can read more, and you can plant trees after reading." Zizhan is still a big child, let him use his mind elsewhere, don't get into the tip of the horns and can't get out. ”
Su Zhe bowed and agreed.
Su You nodded: "There are indeed a lot of things in Wangzhou, and they are very important, I just don't worry about you this time, come and have a look." ”
"Do not grieve excessively, and break your mind and body. That's what my brother, sister-in-law, and Fu'er don't want to see. ”
After earnest advice and relief, Su You hurried and left.
When Su You left, Su Zhe was a little surprised, he lived in the cultivation of qi and moved to nourish his body, and he had not seen Su You for several years, and he really had a little bit of the style of a young uncle, and he was unconsciously standing on the identity of a junior to be taught, and he was not abrupt.
Spring, the first month, Geng Shuo, the ministers on the number of the book in the Daqing Palace, the Taiwei was booked to the door envoy, transferred to the inner permanent servant, from the vertical arch hall to enter.
It's a day, a lot of wind and haze.
Ding Si, the emperor collapsed in the Funing Palace.
When Zhao Shu lost his breath, Han Qi ordered someone to urgently summon Zhao Xu.
Zhao Shu hadn't arrived yet, and Zhao Shu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly flicked his fingers twice.
Zeng Gongliang was stunned, and hurriedly said to Han Qi: "Xianggong, the official family...... The official's hand just moved twice. Isn't it any longer? ”
Han Qi was very resolute: "Even if the first emperor is resurrected at this moment, it will be the emperor!" ”
Turning around, the urging is even more urgent.
……
A few years ago, Su Xiaomei was taught a lesson in geometry; also fished and bragged with Su You on the bank of Jinming Pond; When Su You governed Weizhou, he had been exchanging Weizhou strategies by letter to meet the conjecture of a hot-blooded young man fighting on the battlefield; And the young man, who secretly controlled military intelligence with one of them, is now enthroned as emperor at the age of twenty.
Ji Wei, respect the Queen Mother as the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother as the Queen Mother. With the minister Han Qi as the envoy of the mountain.
Hundreds of officials enter the first class, and all the armies are rewarded.
So Su You was promoted again, and he was only twenty, but he survived the two emperors, and inexplicably became the "old" minister of the three dynasties.
The loose official was promoted to the doctor from the fourth rank, and he was promoted to the Baowen Pavilion attendant, which matched Shi Wei's status as a county monarch.
In fact, Su You has no feelings for Zhao Shu, a cool emperor who lives like a dummy, but in order to expand the economy of Wangzhou, he still has a concert.
……
Bianjing, the court, and the monarchs and ministers found out that they were in big trouble.
First of all, the three envoys Han Jiang and Hanlin bachelors undertook Zhang Fangping to play, the country, no money!
Han Wei, the prince's right concubine, also said: "Eavesdropping on the story, Emperor Daxing should have a legacy to give to his subordinates." Fu Sicheng has been peaceful for a long time, public and private are scarce, and within four years, two major deaths, the construction of mountains and tombs and the reward of soldiers, the cost is not expensive. ”
After discussing for a long time, the monarch and his ministers felt that there were only three ways to go.
First, the three divisions gritted their teeth and looted the warehouse, and made up 300,000 yuan to help the mountain and mausoleum expenses, which is necessary.
Second, there is still time to requisition materials from all over the country, and while slowly making towels, we must also strictly economize - "do not take small as useless and do nothing, do not take tips as harmless and unfrugal, and deeply consider the long-term plan to save the lives of the people." ”
The third is to reduce the amount of money and reward - "If you follow the recent example of Jiayou, you are worried that the country's financial resources cannot be supplied...... This is the pre-dynasty style, not the loss of today. The camp mountain mausoleum system, the edict from the provincial covenant. ”
Zhao Ji felt very painful, and said to Han Qi: "Renzong has ruled the world for more than 40 years, and the palace is rich, so the legacy is very rich. The first emperor has only ruled the world for four years, and it is really difficult to compare with Renzong. ”
"But it can't be without, all the gifts are minus two-thirds of the year of Jiayou."
Han Qi said: "Otherwise, the old minister will go to the Empress Dowager......"
Zhao Ji immediately vetoed: "Niangniang, it is the world's charity, there is no reason to support the lonely, widowed, young and weak, and the cost of enshrinement for one person's mountain tomb, spread it, do you want the reputation of the heavenly family?" ”
"The country has suffered a series of great losses, public and private hardship, and it is imperative to reduce redundant expenses. The funeral of Renzong, that is the first emperor to avoid suspicion, dare not cut, now I am the eldest son of the first emperor, there is no such suspicion. ”
Han Qi was ashamed and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the lack of national use is the loss of the ruling ......"
At this moment, Zeng Gongliang took a report and strode in excitedly: "Xianggong, Your Majesty, don't worry about the expenses of the first emperor's mountain mausoleum!" ”
Zhao Ji and Han Qi were both shocked, and Zhao Ji stretched out his hand: "Bring it to me!" Where's this report? ”
Zeng Gongliang presented the newspaper: "Netzhou! Su Mingrun! ”
Zhao Xuan unfolded the report and read it word by word.
"The ancestors leveled the world, collected the gold silk, and collected the treasury, so the legacy of future generations is thick.
However, since Kangding and Qingli, all the houses have been sent to help Xingfa, and the accumulation of a hundred years is only an empty book.
Jiayou, Zhiping, two landslides, droughts and floods, frequent border provocations, and people's livelihood are depressed.
Although the ministers are dull and contemptible, they are worried day and night, and they think about the country's plans for a long time.
On the day of Dali, he inspected the copper in his land, and discussed the copper politics with the lord Duan Silian.
With the material resources of the emperor and Song merchants, the source of benefits of foreign hazelnuts; set up a mansion to isolate things and eliminate military disasters; Collect fine copper, to show grace to a small country, and to support the state.
Its discussion is about Dali to benefit four, the emperor and Song have six, on the envoy to play the document.
In February, the book called for those who could help the government with outspokenness, and the ministers played the case in detail, and made the measures of the mining and business department to be detailed and repeated.
There was no retribution.
Now he is subordinate to Wangzhou, calling Shuzhong, Jinghu, Wu and all roads to transport envoys, circulating material sources, and benefiting from Kaiguang. The southern copper storage in Wangzhou is 150,000 catties.
However, it is difficult to transfer and transport, and it is difficult to promote the use of Beijing in China, so it is feasible to use this warehouse as the basis and issue copper banknotes.
With a pound of Song copper, you can get 600,000 yuan, which can help the cost of the mountain tomb and solve the public and private worries.
Filial piety is the son, and loyalty is the minister. The minister is not capable, but only loyal and loyal.
There must be those who flatter the monarch with their ministers, but they dare not hide their expenses and hinder His Majesty's filial piety.
Three plays, look and hear. ”
Han Qi was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered: "The national copper policy is a big plan!" Children dare to be reckless, silently, and do such a big thing! ”
The mouth is upright, and the expression betrays the idea.
Zeng Gongliang also said: "Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty copper material is scarce, and Su Mingrun's proposal to fold five is too conservative!" Even if it's not profitable, this is a proper 1.6 million yuan! The Emperor Song Dynasty had a one-fifth surplus in the previous year! ”
The reason why I said the year before last was that last year, what kind of bear did Zhao Ji know very well in his heart that the country had a deficit!
Happiness came too suddenly, and Zhao Ji couldn't believe it was true: "Dali...... There is so much copper in Dali? ”
Han Qi said: "Your Majesty's forgiveness, this year has been eventful, and it is the fault of the center to ignore the recital of the small border county of Wangzhou. ”
"How can this be blamed...... By the way, Su Mingrun said that there was a detailed report before, hurry up and take a look! ”
