By the end of the year, relying on the vigorous and resolute work of officials who were eager to cut meat, the first religious registration of the Great Song Dynasty was quickly completed, and it can be said that more than 90 percent of the people were registered as state religion believers, except for a very small number of people who were firm in their beliefs......

In fact, many people only know that there is a state religion at this time.

After all, folk beliefs were confused before.

The Song Dynasty was only the emperors who admired Taoism, but the people, especially the folk in the south of the Yangtze River, basically did not have the concept of the state religion, in fact, the bald people were more sought after here, but if you want to collect taxes, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are still quite pragmatic, many good men and women even do not hesitate to buy officials to register as the state religion, after all, at this time the money is a one-time money, and if you really want to collect taxes, it must be collected every year, so at this time they have to curse the national teacher and the traitor, while reluctantly taking out a large amount of money, secretly stuffing it to those who are eyeing it, waiting for the officials to register them as followers of the Hu religion.

This is where the latter's efficiency comes from.

Of course, their efficiency will continue to be maintained like this, because immediately after that, the national teacher gave the traitor a crazy trick.

Commission.

Local officials receive a commission on religious taxes.

The religious tax collected by each county only needs to hand over two-thirds, and the remaining one-third is reserved for the office funds of the county government.

One-third of the commission!

And they are still responsible for the property assessment of those Hu believers, and at this time, the proportion of the first tax collection has been determined, of course, it is not one-fifth of what the national teacher said, even if many of the properties of those color-eyed merchants are merchant ships, manors, goods, etc., the vast majority of the working capital in their hands will not exceed one-fifth of the property, and one-fifth will make many of them bankrupt, and one-tenth should be more safe, so the proportion of supplementary payment determined by Jia Rudao is one-tenth. And one-third of this tenth goes to local bureaucrats......

The thought that he could legally take away one-tenth of the property of the Hujiao people in his land, especially the Semu merchants and temples, made the bureaucrats everywhere feel like they were beaten with blood.

And then the banging tax began.

Then the civil uprisings in various places continued to occur, besieging the yamen to make trouble, refusing to pay taxes, and even openly propagating anti-dong slogans, all in all, those Hu Christians fought against them by various means, but in the end they were useless, after all, their number was really small, more than 95 percent of the registered people in various places were state Christians, and the rest had to be registered as Hu Christians because they could not change it, and they made trouble......

Can they still make trouble with the big stick in the hands of the yamen officials in various places?

The latter is still waiting for the money!

There is no need for the army at all, let alone a national teacher, the officials from all over the country have solved it themselves under the temptation of gold and silver, most of them are indeed corpses and vegetarian meals, and the vast majority of those officials are indeed bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, but that is because they have no interests to be profitable, especially when there are huge profits, they are still very combative.

Eventually, almost all the tax resistance in the localities disappeared without any waves under the suppression of those local officials.

Then large sums of money in taxes began to be sent to Lin'an.

It is said that Jia Rudao's political enemy, Ma Guangzu, the transfer envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao, received a full 10,000 yuan of taxes in a large temple in Jiankang, and it is not a meeting, it is all copper coins and gold and silver, those masters are all law-abiding, no master has any resistance to this, it is completely a harmonious atmosphere in which the people of Jiangnan welcome religious taxes, of course, the two temple hosts accidentally fell into the water and drowned in the Qinhuai River, this trivial matter is not worth mentioning.

With the arrival of a large amount of religious taxes, Jia Rudao immediately began a plan to build forts along Huai.

This Southern Song Dynasty version of the defense line from the Lianshui Army in the east to Xiangyang in the west, along the Huai River line is like the Liaodong fortress group of the Ming Dynasty in the original history, building castles at all possible river crossing points along the Huai River, these castles are covered with bricks on the outside, and at the same time equipped with a large number of giant counterweight trebuchets and bed crossbows inside, and the perennial reserve is enough to support a year's worth of food. In addition, the Huaiyang Naval Division was set up in the Huai'an Army, and this naval division was equipped with a large number of small vehicles and boats, and finally controlled the main channel of the Huai River from Lianshui to Xinyang, and formed a defensive line together with the Huai fortress group along the Huai'an.

To the east of Xiangyang, with the Zaoyang Army as the core, it was completely built into a fortress group, and even a large number of small thunderbolts were equipped to defend the city, and this vital southbound passage was blocked with the Zaoyang fortress group.

The entire defense line along the Huai River will maintain no less than 200,000 garrisons all year round, and it will be divided into three large military regions to take responsibility.

Lü Wende's cousin Lü Wenhuan guarded Xiangyang, up to Zaoyang, with Lü Wenhuan as the mainstay, east of Dabie Mountain by Xia Gui in charge of the western line, stationed in Nanyang, from Shouchun to Nanyang section by its control, and the eastern line by Li Tingzhi in charge, that is, Shouchun downstream, at the same time Li Tingzhi in charge of the two Huai, Lü Wende continued to garrison Chongqing in charge of the upstream, but he also supervised the west of Dabie Mountain, in fact, the entire Southern Song Dynasty northern defense to Dabie Mountain as the boundary, east Li Tingzhi west of Lu Wende. In addition, in order to prevent the Mongolian army from driving straight into the southern line as last time and strengthening the defense of the southern line, Zhu Xisun continued to expand Jingjiang City by Guangxi Economic Strategy, and at the same time, under Yang Feng's proposal, Zhang Shijie, who made great contributions to the battle of Ezhou, led part of the northern army to the south, and set up the Nanning Army in Yongzhou, with Zhang Shijie as the knowledge of the Nanning Army and expanded the city to make the defense of the southern line go out to Nanning, and formed a double defense line with the Jingjiang River behind to block the route of the Mongolian army out of Annan or Dali.

In short, if you have money in hand, you are not afraid.

In the past, he could still issue paper money, but in the past, he issued too many banknotes, and now he is about to become waste paper, and he can't even pay enough soldiers, let alone build castles.

And the religious tax is kind of replenishing his blood.

Although this is a supplement to the local tyrant, it is impossible to maintain such an income in the future, but after all, it solves his immediate problem.

In the future, we must not count on the religious tax, even if he really collects one-fifth in the future, this religious tax is not a big head after all, the financial source of the Southern Song Dynasty is the commercial tax collected by overseas trade, but as an agricultural country, the real core is still collected from the land, this has to wait for the completion of the meridian boundary, after the official start of the public land law, these two years can only rely on the religious tax these supplementary taxes to support. As for the warp is still going on steadily, by the end of the year, the warp of the entire Lin'an Mansion will be completed, and with the expansion of the scale of the warp team, the warp of the entire Zhejiang West Road has also been fully launched, it is estimated that it can be completed in half a year, although the gentry around the country are also considered to be boiling with public resentment, but the scene of the national teacher flooding the Lei Feng Tower has not faded in their brains, so although they and the warp team must have been in constant skirmishes, but it is really not necessary to dare to resist.

After all, this was only a scripture realm, not a public land law at the same time, and the gentry still had illusions to some extent, and it was also because of this that they had been so enthusiastic about religious taxes lately.

They knew that Jia Yidao was forced by finance.

They helped Jia Nidao to quickly implement the religious tax is to pass it on, the public land law is also forced by Jia Yidao, speaking of his own family also has a large amount of land, he must take the lead in the implementation of the public land law, and he will have to suffer his own losses, if the financial crisis can be solved through the religious tax, then maybe Jia Nidao can still raise his noble hand after a good communication. It is precisely because of this that the local officials went all out to cooperate, and even some gentry organized their families to help the local officials suppress those who dared to resist, anyway, it was not them who were unlucky, but unfortunately their fantasies were only fantasies after all, and it was impossible to solve the financial crisis of the Great Song Dynasty by relying on religious taxes, which could only be said to make Jia Yidao breathe a sigh of relief.

Well, Jia Rudao will breathe a sigh of relief soon.

"National teacher, this is definitely someone deliberately taking revenge, although Pu Shougeng is rich, but the family property of 20 million is impossible, the national finance and tax is only tens of millions, at most it is only 10,000, and the annual tax paid by the Quanzhou City Bo Division is only one million, although the Pu family is the largest maritime merchant in Quanzhou, but the annual income of his family is always impossible to exceed the tax of the city, right? Before the local officials on the Pu family's property statistics, the sum of the various industries, the total is only one million yuan, according to one-tenth of the supplementary payment, Pu Shougeng and his brother have already paid 100,000 yuan in taxes, the Pu family has been doing business in Quanzhou for many years, the number of enemies must be numerous, and the business opponents also hate to fall, these people in order to crack down on them, must do everything to do anything, deliberately report and exaggerate their property is normal. ”

In the Haotian God Palace in the lonely mountain, Jia Rudao said with a shocked face.

Well, the national teacher was reported here, the Quanzhou Semu businessman, the predecessor of Quanzhou City, Pu Shougeng, and his brother Pu Shouchen, with a total family property of more than 20 million yuan......

This is a staggering number.

You must know that at this time, the annual financial income of the imperial court is only tens of millions, and the property of the Pu family is actually more than a quarter of the annual financial income of the imperial court, which immediately caused the shock of the national teacher, and what shocked the national teacher even more is that the Pu family bribed local officials, and finally assessed that it was only one million guan, so that only 100,000 guan was paid to fool the past, so that the country's tax loss was as high as two million guan, which was simply too frustrating, and this kind of giant beetle that stole the country and gained fat must be severely punished......

"Are you sure?"

Yang Feng said with a majestic face: "As far as I know, the Pu family is a Semu merchant from Zhancheng, who has controlled the Nanyang spice trade for more than ten years, and you may not know how profitable the spice is, but I know it very well here!" The spices are like weeds in the South Seas, it can be said that they are all over the mountains, and their cheapness is like pine towers, they can be picked as much as they want, as long as they are dried and shipped to my Great Song Dynasty, it is a thousand times the profit, and the Pu family has controlled this trade for more than ten years, and has only accumulated millions of wealth, which is too strange, right? ”

"Well, national teacher, the Pu family is just a change of hands, the spices are said to be purchased by Nanyang merchants in various places, and then transported to Champa to sell to local merchants, and the Pu family's merchant ships are transported from Champa, and the profits he can get are only a small part of them."

Jia Rudao said cautiously.

"In that case, a million is a little less! The Pu family also came from Zhancheng, so do you know that they don't have their own business name in Zhancheng? And the Semu merchants in Champa are all from Dashi, and the same is true of the Pu family, but how do they know that they don't have their own business names in the Nanyang Islands? If this kind of thing leaves them, those natives in Nanyang will not be able to transport it out, each island in Nanyang has its own owner, and the Pu family has enough choice, so their purchase in Nanyang should be extremely cheap, but they are almost monopolistic in my Great Song Dynasty, and such a monopoly may take away ninety percent of the profits, and one million yuan of family property is a pure joke.

You don't have to worry about this matter, let me personally check the Pu family, if it really has a million family property, then it will be nothing, if there is really any favoritism in it, then I will make them regret it! ”

Yang Feng said viciously.

"National teacher, you don't need to go there in person for such a trivial matter, right?"

Jia Rudao was stunned.

"Not only for this, but I also want to visit Quanzhou to see if there are anyone familiar with the sea route who can go to Taiwan."

Yang Feng said.

"Taiwan?"

Jia Rudao looked confused.

"It's Vaishya, my map is marked as Taiwan, haven't you noticed?"

Yang Feng said.

"Well, this disciple really didn't pay attention."

Jia Rudao replied honestly.

"Then what is there in Taiwan that is worth going to?"

He then asked.

The Song Dynasty called Taiwan Visheye, because the current in the Taiwan Strait is complicated, and the island is too primitive, at this time has formed a large-scale trade with the Wa Kingdom and the South Seas, but the Great Song Dynasty is very unfamiliar with this island close at hand, after all, those maritime merchants are looking for profits, and the natives on the island are difficult to bring them any profits, but Penghu is within the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and Taiwan is included in the feudal domains, but the natives there often pretend to be pirates to attack Quanzhou, and the national teacher is actually interested in this kind of place, which inevitably makes Jia Yidao a little dazed.

"There's good stuff there, there's something there!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

There's really good stuff out there.

Of course, it's not about camphor, at this time, the Great Song Dynasty produced camphor, but the quality was slightly worse, and the real top camphor came from Borneo, that is, borneol, and doctors in the Great Song Dynasty often used camphor to pretend to be borneol to deceive people, this kind of thing could not bring him real profits, and Taiwanese camphor was once important only because of the industry, especially the Nobel Prize safety explosives.

And his goal is gold and sulfur.

The latter is what he needs, if he wants to play with firearms, he must solve the raw materials, the main producing areas of nitrate are Sichuan and Hanzhong, but the main source of sulfur is actually the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus, if the sulfur in Taiwan is developed, he will no longer need to do any sulfur from the Wa Kingdom and the Ryukyus, as for the gold mines, needless to say, with these two things, you can basically induce the people here to flock to Taiwan, and then the rest is to gradually develop.
