After that, Pingzhang Jia Yidao immediately ordered the purchase of whale meat products to supplement part of the central government's allocation to the four major consulates in the local military districts------ which can save a lot of money!

This method of filling the top is not new at all, and there have been times when monks and Taoist monks have been used to fill the ceiling, not to mention that they have also used physical objects such as rice, grain, cotton and cloth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This has rebounded back to demand for whale products.

Zhang Guoan took the opportunity to use the money given by Lao Jia to recruit craftsmen and laborers, even the most basic sailors, in various big cities.

In this way, the two sides form a win-win development, if there is no preparation for the sneak attack, Zhang Guoan likes this situation, little by little bigger and stronger himself.

What Zhang Guoan didn't expect was that Pingzhang Jia seemed to have hit him with the idea of solving the box soldiers, this old Jia still needed to increase the output of refined salt on the one hand, and on the other hand, he threw off the burden and tried his best to get the redundant soldiers to the maritime merchant.

After several times before and after, Lao Jia didn't find that the other party was complaining, and only brought a batch of military rations over, the other party seemed to forget to ask for armaments and other things------ which was beyond his expectations, those grains are not important, and they can be replenished in the future, but there are really places where there are not many people, what does he use to support these people? !

But I didn't have time to think so much, so I first solved the problem of redundant troops, and immediately sent thousands of people there to fry salt!

He also asked the doorman to write a letter of encouragement to that Zhang Haishang, which probably means that to produce more refined salt for the official family and solve the problem of labor employment, the imperial court has never forgotten those who have contributed to the Great Song Dynasty, and will soon give you an honorary official position, even if you have an actual official position, it is enough for you to glorify your ancestors in Yindi------

This is really not the arrogance of the Great Song people, this time and space. A considerable number of merchants were proud to receive an honorary official position in the Great Song Dynasty, let alone a real award.

Zhang Guoan saw that thousands of people crossed the sea and came here, and he was very happy, the Great Song Dynasty came to let them work from the level of state orders, which is really not ordinarily efficient!

This is far more efficient than waving the money yourself and sending someone to recruit yourself!

But he wasn't interested in official office or anything, and he found out. Originally, I thought that Comrade Lao Jia was in a hurry to seek the ball, so he sent so many laborers, but he didn't expect that now he was digesting the personnel who should have been waiting for their posts and re-employed!

In this case, the problem comes, you give monthly subsidies to the unemployed or something, that is your policy of the Great Song Dynasty, let's not talk about it, but you can't send a large batch of laborers to come here with only a few months' rations, and I will be paid for my work!

The social assistance system of the Great Song Dynasty is indeed perfect.

No work left. When the soldiers go, they will eat and live and make a small amount of money; When the disaster suffers, when the soldiers go, they will take care of food and shelter and send a small amount of money; and those who have sinned shall also go and serve as soldiers------

You can even be discharged from the army, but they are called leftovers.

The leftover soldiers existed in the forbidden soldiers, box soldiers, and native soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and it was the one who was selected among the Song Dynasty sergeants, that is, the forbidden soldiers, box soldiers, and soldiers due to old age or illness. Do not serve in the conquest, and retain military status. Reduction of military salaries, people who are engaged in miscellaneous labor in the army.

According to the regulations, all 10 generals, generals, officers, and officers who are 65 years old, and non-commissioned officers who are 60 years old, in principle, must be demoted to the remaining personnel and retired after five years.

Furthermore. Those who are sick in the army must also be demoted to the surplus. The remaining members only receive less than half of their salaries for miscellaneous service in the army. Most of the old and weak soldiers of the Song Dynasty were arranged among the leftovers, and it became a tradition in the Song Dynasty.

Although the generals and colonels who have reduced the surplus personnel have not left the army, they still have food to eat and military supplies. However, it is no longer the main fighting force of the army, it has the meaning of comforting and caring for the elderly and disabled soldiers, and at this time, their sense of happiness is not ordinarily strong.

Another resettlement measure for veterans in the Song Dynasty was to repatriate them to their hometowns and farm, and the government gave them a certain amount of food, and at the same time gave necessary help to the families of the veterans.

If a retired soldier dies and his wife and son become poor, he is allowed to shoot the idle land and cultivate it, and pay it for one year, so that he can buy cattle and breeds, and he will be exempted from rent and taxes, so that he will be forever employed.

For the disabled soldiers who left the army, the imperial court required the troops to take measures to adopt them and appease them for life.

Zhang Guoan told Jing Jing about his dissatisfaction with Lao Jia.

"Quiet, that old Jia is really good at settling accounts, this time he sent thousands of people, and he brought some rations, and even his clothes were in tatters-----"

Quiet said, "Isn't that better?" Don't we need labor here? ”

Zhang Guoan said: "Yes, it is needed, but we cannot develop the habit of Comrade Lao Jia taking advantage of a small advantage------ I want to write a letter to ask for the follow-up armament that should be given, and I was a little careless in the past." ”

Quietly said, "Isn't there enough food for us?" ”

Zhang Guoan shook his head and said: "It's not about the rations, but to be fair, even if it's a small thing------ there must be a reward for the effort, even if it's just a matter of some food, unless we are willing." ”

Zhang Guoan immediately began to write letters, and he slowly calculated the cost of armaments that Lao Jia owed him.

Gu Jianshan and Guo Ziren came in and said, "There are more small merchants here------ Master Zhang's family, let's raise taxes, the Great Song Dynasty can charge several taxes for such people------"

Zhang Guoan knew that these two people were now addicted to collecting taxes, which was an act with a sense of authority.

The two boys also trained their men in the direction of the tax police, and if they increased the tax collection, they could recruit more people.

Zhang Guoan said: "No, now we need such a flow of people, every small trader and hawker is our volunteer propagandist, and we must also let them use their interests to do silent propaganda." ”

Gu Jianshan and Guo Ziren now have their own office location, which is a square flat-roofed courtyard, and later they understood that the flat-roofed courtyard is to prepare for the addition of floors.

Their customs sign has been hung up, and various bills specially printed in the Great Song Dynasty have been used, and the work has become normalized.

Even, the two of them equipped their tax collectors with short firearms, and practiced from time to time, and they became more and more interested in their own tax work.

Especially when the two men and their men went separately to the merchant's ship to check the tax returns, they enjoyed it very much when they saw the flattering expressions of those in charge.

It's a pity that they can't collect taxes at will.

On the exterior walls of their offices, the tax standards for various goods are written in vermilion lacquer, and if the handwriting is blurred, they have to be repainted.

So, the merchants themselves know it.

Zhang Guoan also equipped them with two dhow clippers, and the top of the sail was also printed with a large tax word, so that people could see their occupation at a glance.

It's just that the two of them are unfortunate that they, like several other people, may not be able to participate in this sneak attack.

Because they were obviously too busy with their work, after the beginning of spring, suddenly, even the merchants in the Guangzhou area came to them, and they didn't know where they learned about this place.

What made them even happier was that there were even maritime merchants from Sriwijaya themselves, and they were also overseas remnants of the Great Song Dynasty! (To be continued.) )
