Chapter 380: Sang Hong Sheep

"None of them are feasible? Even if it's a grass cure? ”

Wang Ju is really not very clear about this transformation history, anyway, in the future, the Yellow River will flow north for a while, and for a while it will flow eastward, there are artificial constraints, and there are also the Yellow River's own choices. It was not until the terrain of Hebei was quickly raised that the Yellow River flowed into the Huai.

But the problem is that in that case, the farther you reach the sea, the water also has a problem with the flow of water, for example, the flow rate is one meter per second, then the flow rate is 60 meters in one minute, and the flow speed is 3,600 meters in one hour. The farther away from the mouth of the sea, the more the water of the Yellow River must not be drained quickly, and more embankments begin to burst. Then the Kaifeng Yingtianfu area will be flooded every few years, and the sediment will be swept away, so only saline-alkali land remains.

Therefore, in the end, the Ming and Qing dynasties introduced the Yellow River into Ji, but at that time, the shape of the Yellow River was even worse, to be precise, including Lefu's rule of the river, there was no radical cure. It can only be said that the idea is right, the Yellow River is one, close to the mouth of the sea, and the water is washed, which has also become the real main road of the Yellow River later.

Thinking of this, he said: "Even if it is cured, the minister does not dare to confirm it, at least it is not enough to just look at the map." It's better to do this, just when the plumber is basically resting, it is better to let the minister ride down to take a look, and then report to His Majesty. ”

"It's so hard."

"Your Majesty treats the ministers like this, and it is worth the minister's hard work."

"Tomorrow, I'll dine with me today."

Wang Ju wanted to refuse, but finally looked at Zhao Ji, but he couldn't bear it.

After all, Zhao Ji is different from himself, he is a human being in two lives, but this little emperor is not a human being in two lives, only twenty-one years old, and other young people are at his age, it is the time to arrange flowers for fun, but Zhao Ji has to deal with those scheming old guys, and he has to face the biggest deficit in history......

Wang Ju hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you." ”

It's not that Zhao Ji asked him to accompany him to the meal because he appreciated it, but it was a lot of things to stay.

After a while of dinner, Zhao Ji asked again: "Wang Qing, if you say that the country does not add endowments and uses it for its own use, can you do it?" ”

Here it comes!

The reason why Wang Ju is afraid to come to the capital is precisely because the law change is about to kick off. If there had been no disaster last year, the people of Western Xia had really quieted down, there was no war, and they did not repair the Zhengbai Canal, and the state finances began to have a preliminary surplus, Zhao Ji would not have been in a hurry.

The 10 million that Guan Jian brought by himself went down like washing, Wang Anshi wanted to set up a kapok division, this Wang Ju liked it very much, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and clothes were in front of food. To put it bluntly, there are more than 15 million households that need cotton products, and even if the population of Song Liao swells in a few years, it will be close to 20 million households. One cotton product per household a year, that amount is also amazing.

Then this kapok division can collect a lot of money in a very short time, at least in the hands of Wang Anshi, it will bring a lot of money to the country every year. The difficulty is that in the past few years, gradually the country has money, and it will not be so difficult in the future. Moreover, as Wang Shao ran Qinzhou and developed Zheng Baiqu by himself, coupled with the reform of the military system proposed by himself, the cost of using troops would also drop sharply. The Song Dynasty relieved its vitality.

But now it will be even more difficult to finance.

So Zhao Ji was in a hurry.

He pondered for a long time before saying, "This concept is a bit vague, let's use an analogy." It's like eating, there is now a big table, and there are many people waiting to eat around it. At the time of eating, the food was presented, with bread, wine, meat, and vegetables. So many quilts are sold at a high price, but the more they are sold, the more expensive they become, it is conceivable that everyone at this table can be satisfied. But the problem is that there are some pot-bellied men sitting, they have deep qualifications and prestige, so they are desperately eating, eating first, so this table is full of food, but there are many people who are not full. ”

"That's a good analogy."

"So now there are two ways to solve the problem, one is to forcibly redistribute the food of the pot-bellied people to those who can't eat enough."

"The country, the poor people."

Exactly, but this method cannot be called the state not giving more to its own use, it can only be said to be a redistribution of interests. And because the table is very large, it is not easy to be so fair when distributing, and often some big-bellied men have clever means and continue to possess a large amount of food, and directly squeeze out the food of the poor people. Maybe the food of the country is available, and the food of the pot-bellied man and the poor people is all damaged. So everyone in the world began to oppose it. ”

"This ......"

"There is another method, such as Chen's shochu, which is different from any liquor in our dynasty, and is sold to the Tibetan people, even if it is sold locally, but a large amount of liquor is purchased locally and re-brewed, so it belongs to the real state and uses it for its own use. To put it more elegantly, it's open source. Not only does the strong not exclude it, but the state also receives a large amount of taxes. ”

"Hehe, let's not talk about that soju," Zhao said. This is really ashamed, four years of soju just to pay taxes tens of thousands of yuan, the profit of more than 100,000 yuan, all of which are used by the state. If there was no soju, Zheng Baiqu's soldiers wouldn't even have cattle.

Wait a few more years, when the funding reaches a certain level, a few families will be awarded some high-ranking official awards.

It's not that Zhao Ji is ruthless, if the Zhu and Li families are easy to handle, the main remaining Xi Zhao and other families also participated.

And now the reward is not a good thing for Wang Ju, he can have this idea, and thanks to Wang Ju's brainwashing, he has made a lot of progress.

Indeed, what Wang Ju needs now is accumulation, and when the accumulation reaches a certain point, there is no need for Zhao Ji to commend him, there will be ministers to speak, and even fight for Wang Ju.

Wang Ju doesn't care, what's in a hurry, and he doesn't want to enter the court now, so it's even less urgent, let's get Zheng Baiqu right first. I'm really not at ease when I left, it's not a technical problem, it's a cultivated land.

Wang Ju said: "Shochu is limited, but the income of kapok will be amazing. Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess is also about to join forces with another business, and once it succeeds, the benefits will not be small. ”

"Libu?"

"It's not Li Bu, the eldest princess is kind-hearted, how can she rob the income of the poor Li people. Although he is now meddling in Li Bu, it is to promote them and help them, not to rob them of their income. ”

"What's that?"

"It's also a new thing, so I don't know how effective it will be. When the business was almost done, the minister and the eldest princess handed it over to the imperial court. ”

"You ...... with the eldest princess"

"Your Majesty, you really can't think about it, this is still a long time ago, since the minister got married, the minister and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess have no contact."

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly.

It's really hard to talk about.

"Your Majesty, these are the real open sources. This is the second method that the minister said, not to grab food from everyone, but to find flour, salt, sesame seeds and other ingredients, and remake food. We also encourage everyone to cook food together. There is more food, and everyone can eat enough. ”

Zhao Ji was a little dazed.

In this way, the minister made another analogy, and it was more difficult to launch the new livelihood of the Kapok Division and the minister, and if the income was placed on the individual, it would be a huge wealth, but it would not play much role in the country. However, it doesn't have to be to find such a livelihood, the minister said that the tax of my dynasty is about a little more than that of Tianbao, but the tax is several times that of Tianbao. ”

"Ordinary people are more embarrassed than Tianbao."

That's not necessarily, the tenant farmers in the Tang Dynasty were not called tenant farmers, but called tribesmen, and they didn't even have the right to personal freedom, where could they talk about happiness, but Wang Ju didn't argue, but said: "In this way, if the state does not collect two taxes, will the people be more embarrassed." ”

"This won't happen," Zhao replied, but it was impossible, without two taxes, the state finances would collapse immediately.

"Excluding the two taxes, our finances are still several times that of Tianbao. Why? The state encouraged the development of commerce, and the total wealth of the people far exceeded that of the Tang Dynasty. For example, when it came to going abroad, our dynasty allowed merchants to go abroad to do business by land and sea, but the Tang Dynasty forbade people to cross the border to trade, including Tang Sanzang, who went abroad without permission and finally went to Tianzhu. Because the total wealth of the people is better than that of the Tang Dynasty, the tax burden of our dynasty has not been heavy since ancient times, but the country has developed steadily. This is what the minister said about making cakes, and the more food everyone has, the more food the country can collect. It's also open source, a real open source technique. ”

"What's the best plan?"

"Let's make a fuss about the service law, release the second, third and fourth class households, they are the main body of tax payment, and they are also the main body of the active and strong economy, and they must be supported, not harmed." Wang Ju said implicitly.

"Conscription Law."

"Your Majesty, the minister is not in the court, I don't know. I believe that there will be ministers in the court who will come up with a good way," Wang Ju walked around again.

But this open source is certainly not the market law and the green seedling method.

"How is Sang Hongyang?"

"Sang Hong sheep?"

"Some people say it's a good minister, some people say it's a traitor, I have some doubts."

"Your Majesty, Nachen analyzes Sang Hongyang, if you analyze a person's life, you must analyze its background."

"Reasonable."

"The background of Sang Hongyang's financial management is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched a counteroffensive against the Xiongnu. But it is not so beautiful as recorded in the history books, the Han Dynasty also needed a lot of money and materials to fight, in addition to several expeditions, the border needed to be stationed a large number of officers and soldiers, but also stationed in the city, at that time the transportation was more backward, and the material consumption was also expensive. Therefore, three or four years after the start of the war, the Han Dynasty's finances were depleted so quickly that Zheng Dang, the great farmer, decided to levy a tax on the merchants on vehicles and ships, and sold martial arts. ”

"I've sold it too."

"Fan Wenzheng has sold officials, don't talk about others. However, Sang Hongyang financed his finances, which was almost the end of the war, when the finances of the Han Dynasty were already in devastation. The minister thought about it, what he did, one was to rescue the migrants and move the 720,000 disaster victims to Kuanxiang, so some grievances occurred. The result, however, was good, with large tracts of new arable land being cleared, and a few years later the state income was increased and production developed. ”

"But the move is very controversial."

"Well, the following is called big, followed by the issuance of white deer skin coins and the forcible depreciation of the currency, which is actually equivalent to shrinking the finances in the hands of the powerful in disguise."

Zhao Ji's eyes moved.

"Your Majesty, remember that this article cannot be moved, paper money is an advanced monetary model, not only can not be issued indiscriminately, the more economic tension, the more it is necessary to maintain its status. After all, the land has limited resources, and copper is even more limited. The third is the salt and iron monopoly. ”

In the Song Dynasty, the alum tea fragrance was monopolized, so there was no need to laugh at a hundred steps and fifty steps.

"Fourth, the implementation of reckoning is actually the tax and tax of our dynasty. Article 5 A merchant with municipal registration is not allowed to occupy cultivated land and reduce mergers. The sixth article is to prohibit the minting of coins from various countries, and the imperial court will issue five coins uniformly. After the end of the war, Sang Hongyang mainly implemented three policies, one is to rectify and develop the salt and iron official camp, the second is to push the average loss law, the whole country by the officials to collect the people's special products, transferred to the shortage of areas, the state did not collect the people's income, but earned the difference. The third is to implement the equalization method, when it is cheap, it will buy the inventory, and when it is expensive, it will be sold. ”

"Seems pretty good." Zhao said.

"It's really good, the Han Dynasty was still a king at that time, and the central government actually didn't get much, so many years of war were fought, if there was no Sanghong Yang financial management, the Han Dynasty would have been in a big mess. But then, Your Majesty, think about it, the original mines and coinage of the Han Dynasty, in which all the countries and the powerful and powerful participated, were suddenly withdrawn to the imperial court, how did those countries and the princes and the powerful think? Business is run by businessmen, and it is state-owned, how do rich and powerful businessmen think? After the implementation of the Pinghuai Law, how did the big owners of hoarding start to act? ”

"What is the elite of the country, these people are the elite of the country. In some senses, Sang Hongyang has indeed achieved that the people do not benefit the world and the world uses it, but there are very few real open source policies, and most of them are redistribution policies that are stolen from the hands of these elites. Yes, there is no additional tax, and the land tax is still 30 taxes and 1. Therefore, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was there, he had always trusted Sang Hongyang, and when he was in Daxing, he asked him to accept the edict with Huo Guang, Jin Riyan, and Shangguan Ji, and assist Emperor Zhao together. But after Huo Guang monopolized power, in exchange for more elite support......"

"I know that it is said that Sang Hongyang colluded with King Yan to rebel and was killed along with Shangguan Ji," Zhao said.

"Your Majesty, do you believe it?"

"So is he a good minister or a traitor?" R1152
