Chapter Seventy-Six: The Great Song Dynasty Appears Xiangrui

The imperial court of the Great Song Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty has not gotten rid of the fiscal deficit since the Nandu, and by the time of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, the annual financial revenue was only more than 120 million guan, but the expenditure was as much as more than 250 million guan, and the economic situation this year is even worse!

In 1264, Kublai Khan finally defeated Ali Buge, and then moved the capital to Dadu, all of which were accompanied by the capital. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

During this period, he had already appointed a large number of Han staff and Confucian scholars, consolidating his rule in North China, plus the previous Mongol army had already broken through Yunnan, and then detoured south to destroy the Dali Kingdom.

These moves greatly expanded the scope of the Southern Song defense line.

All the borders of the Southern Song Dynasty had to be defended one by one, so this required a lot of money.

Previously, in the ten years from 1245 to 1255, Jia Rudao had been doing a good job as a military and political officer in the areas of "Yanjiang", "Jinghu" and "Lianghuai".

At that time, Jia Rudao mobilized the army and civilians to open up wasteland, tuntian, and build city defenses, which not only solved the problem of food and salaries for the garrison troops and the cost of building city defenses, but also supported the surrounding areas to a certain extent, and it can be said that he made no small contribution to the border defense and armament affairs of the Great Song Dynasty government.

For this reason, Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty also specially issued an edict to commend Jia Rudao.

If you say that this Lao Jia came up by nepotism, there is such a thing, but it is not entirely true, we have to be realistic.

As early as February 1248, Jia Guifei had died of illness, and two years later Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty turned to favor a concubine surnamed Yan.

If Jia Rudao's career development before 1248 must be attributed to his sister, then how to explain Jia Rudao's continued to rise steadily and steadily until he is now in the center of power despite the fall of the tree?

If it were not for Jia Yidao's political ability and remarkable achievements as a backing, after the death of Jia Guifei, would Emperor Song Lizong be happy to reward a black yarn that is bigger than the other to a "former uncle" who can only climb up by nepotism?

What's more, in the past ten years, the Mongols launched more and more fierce attacks on the Southern Song Dynasty, and the military and socio-economic situation of the Southern Song Dynasty has become increasingly severe.

So, he still has his own set of methods, let's talk about them slowly in the future.

But now there is only one way to solve the economy in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, to continuously print Huizi banknotes, which is called "making money".

However, relying on "making money" to alleviate financial difficulties is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.

This is because the direct result of the incremental printing of banknotes is the depreciation of the currency and the skyrocketing prices.

For example, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, one stone of rice was only sold for three dollars, which refers to Huizi.

But by the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, one stone of rice had been sold for 1,000 yuan, and the depreciation of Huizi was more than 300 times.

The more the Huizi depreciated, the higher the price rose, and the more the imperial court increased the circulation of the Huizi, and finally fell into a vicious circle that was difficult to get rid of.

Moreover, because a large amount of land is in the hands of the powerful strata, they often rely on their power to evade taxes, so the grain and salary of the Great Song Dynasty army is seriously insufficient, and no matter how hard it is, the army can not be bitter, so the imperial court continues to issue additional paper money, and forcibly apportions and requisitions grain to the landlords and wealthy households to replenish the army's food and salary.

However, the "peace and security" still relies on the continuous "construction", so it not only makes prices continue to rise, but also cannot fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient military supplies.

In the face of this severe crisis, if reforms were not carried out, the Great Song government would not have to wait for the Mongol invasion to collapse its own economy.

Therefore, at the beginning of the third year of Jia Pingzhang's reign, Jia Yidao couldn't wait to instruct Liu Lianggui, who knew Lin'an Mansion at that time, Wu Shiqing, the transfer envoy of western Zhejiang, and the imperial historians to jointly call for the implementation of the "Gongtian Law".

It started out as a trial rollout, but it worked very well!

In this way, it slowly began to spread......

In the same way, the power of this backlash has increased, because he has moved the interests of the big landlords and big officials!

Even if he took the lead in taking out 20,000 acres of land and selling it to the Great Song Dynasty government at a low price, so that the government could rent it out to earn money, others were unwilling to do it......

Of course, this is not the best way, robbing the poor is a robbery, so isn't robbing the rich also a robbery?!

But for all the people on this plane, what else can you think of for these people? It's not so evil that even the poor and the rich rob it together, even if they still have a human touch!

So we can only let the rich people give it first......

Therefore, Jia Pingzhang Jia Pingzhang began to stink...... So others grasp his private life style and scold him, which is also true!

Because, he moved the cheese of the rich!

How can Jia Pingzhang and Jia Rudao not know this?

Therefore, in this palace banquet on the night of Shangyuan, he had to say some auspicious words......

Jia Pingzhang Jia Rudao stood up and said, "My Great Song Dynasty has descended auspicious ...... My Great Song is just around the corner! ”

With that, he held up a crystal ball.

This crystal ball refracted light from different angles in his hand, and it was brilliant for a while!

Jia Pingzhang said in a deep voice: "This is the Yin Di Anguo from thousands of miles overseas, from that name, do you think that it is the remnant of the Yin people when they moved east?" There are such crystal balls there...... It is said that if this thing can absorb the essence of moonlight, the divine energy of heaven and earth, and after forming a formation, it will have the ability to change the heavens and the earth...... And what is the iron horse of the Tatars?? ”

The official Zhao Yu began to fidget on the dragon chair, and his originally listless face began to have surprise and anticipation, and he shouted in a low voice: "...... Master, if you really have a way......"

The ministers also stood up excitedly! There is such a thing in the world...... This, this is clearly a spirit produced by heaven and earth......

Of course, there are also those who are dismissive and are trying to find a way to crack down on this traitorous Jia Nidao, who was born in a small family!

At this time, Jia Pingzhang and Jia Rudao actually took out another one!

One is already earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, but there are two more......

Jia Pingzhang Jia seemed to show off proudly to the surroundings, the crystal ball constantly refracted the light of the blind eye, and this scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone present.

At this time, Jia Pingzhang's words began to become mysterious and penetrating.

"A certain has collected nineteen pieces, and today they are all dedicated to the official family, and when the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces are gathered, the magic will be applied, and the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably rise again!

At the beginning of the national fortune, it is auspicious; Jun Dao cultivates below, then Rui is the proof! ”

This voice, full of positive energy, echoed for a long time in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty...... Everyone looked at the mysterious crystal ball with expectant eyes......

The official Zhao Yu couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up directly, stretched out an arm to Jia Pingzhang Jia Yidao, like a person who had fallen into the water to grab a branch, he shouted directly: "The Great Song Dynasty is fortunate to have a master!" When can we do something?! ”

Many officials of the Great Song Dynasty had to get up and visit the official's house at this time......

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Taoism was no longer as fanatical as Zhenzong and Huizong, and even Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty corrected the malpractices of Huizong's worship of Taoism.

At the same time, the management of Taoism was also strengthened, and there were strict restrictions on the establishment of palaces and Taoist monks.

However, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty still believed in Taoism, and worshipped Cui Fujun and the Four Sages Zhenjun as the royal protectors to protect half of its rivers and mountains.

Taoist spells have also won the trust of the rulers, and they are used, and whenever there is a disaster or festival, they all order the Taoist priests to do things in order to ensure smooth weather and peace for the country and the people.

For example, Song Lizong recommended the Taoist book "Taishang Induction Chapter" to the society, and personally wrote the title of "Do not do all evil, all good should be pursued", persuading people to do good deeds and avoid retribution from the gods, which is not only to use its educational function to stabilize the society and consolidate the imperial power.

Officials of all generations have successively done rituals in the palace, seeking to eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, protect the country and extend the Zuo, and also hope for the protection of the gods.

Therefore, as soon as some things came out, coupled with Jia Pingzhang's mysterious explanation of Jia Nidao, I don't know if you believe it or not, anyway, they all believed it at the time.

These crystal balls were really donated by Liu Qianxing.

For the sake of these crystal balls, Liu Qian Xingshou didn't even live this year.

For a few days and nights, he played with these expensive crystal balls repeatedly, of course, he also used a lot of expensive bronzes in exchange, and put up a lot of money, but these are not important.

It's about the fortunes of the country!

He prayed for every crystal ball with his heart, here for himself, for his whole family, and for this Great Song.

The Tatars had always been restless in the north, and he knew it......

Of course, he also knows that he will not suffer a loss if he dedicates such an auspicious fortune, whether it is an economic account or an official account......

So, when he personally went to the mansion of Zhilin'an Mansion to pay New Year's respects, he personally offered these nineteen crystal balls and explained their mysterious rumors one by one.

Hong Qiwei, who knew Lin'an, was shocked after hearing this, especially after seeing Liu Qianxing's head specially pray for the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, and also saw him make a demonstration.

When I saw Liu Qianxing tear up the paper for the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, and then carefully wiped the crystal ball with silk, he was able to suck up those confetti in the air!

Knowing Lin'an Mansion, Hong Qiwei rushed to Jiafu overnight, non-stop.

During the two Song Dynasty, folk auspiciousness was endless. What Ruimai, auspicious words, etc. are endlessly in the book, one of which is the trend of heaven and man induction, and the other is that the surname Zhao of the Great Song Dynasty in order to prove the legitimacy of his regime, of course, there are also reasons for believing in Taoism.

A farmer chopped firewood, and after splitting it, the firewood had the words "Ten Thousand Song Years Sui" in it, and the farmer was rewarded with a hundred times.

Later, I found that there were too many such things, bones, stones, etc., all had auspicious words, so the Great Song Dynasty government could only praise them verbally.

But this crystal ball is different!

Knowing Lin'an Mansion, Hong Qiwei immediately thought of Jia Pingzhang Jia Rudao, he is a famous treasure connoisseur!

When Jia Pingzhang Jia Yidao also listened to the relays of Zhilin'an Mansion Hong Qiwei, and watched his demonstration, he immediately concluded that this is the real auspicious!

The other auspicious things, their materials are basically things in the world, at that time, these nineteen crystal things of almost the same size could never be things in the world!

This year, Jia Pingzhang Jia seems to have a good life, he learns Hong Qiwei's paraphrase every night, tries to pray for blessings, and finally finds that it is really as he demonstrated.

At that time, he was looking forward to this Shangyuan Night banquet every day, and he endured not reporting to the official's family.

He's going to put it to good use!

Therefore, his performance at this night banquet greatly surprised everyone.

Especially at the end, when he also successfully completed the demonstration of picking up confetti, the whole party was quiet......
