Chapter 783 Walking on Thin Ice

Originally, Li Ding persuaded the elders in Luoyang to go back, but these elders were "sick" one by one. The youngest of these old guys was in their sixties, and Li Ding didn't dare to use force, so he reported to Wang Ju. Of course, the most embarrassing thing is Wang Ju, these old guys won't leave, what is the imperial edict?

Then Fu Bi's death and Fu Bi's letter broke out, Li Ding didn't dare to say anything, and even hastily checked those squires and quickly returned to the capital. It wasn't until Wang Ju went crazy that these old guys in Luoyang became afraid.

However, they really don't want to leave Luoyang, not to mention any party, Luoyang is the western capital of the Song Dynasty, how prosperous it is, but what can they do when they return to their hometown. Besides, the super mansion built by Wang Gongchen, this time, what should I do with this mansion?

Sima Guang went to the book, Your Majesty, you ordered the old minister to repair the book in Luoyang, but this million-word history book, only the ministers and the bureaucrats cannot complete this task. And it is also the instructions of the first emperor, so the old ministers asked Wang Gongchen and others to assist.

We're gone, what to do with this history book?

In ancient times, the annals were very important, and it was an important literary skill, Zhao Ji had a headache when he heard it, so he consulted with Wang Ju.

Of course, Wang Ju knows the importance of Sima Guang's annals, but does he need Feng Shenji and others to revise this annals? But at this time, Wang Ju also heard some rumors, that is, Gao Taotao in the palace personally came forward to intercede for Sima Guang and others.

You can't really do it strongly.

Wang Ju had no choice but to say that if he was involved in the revision of this historical book, he would stay in Luoyang and at least give himself a step, otherwise everyone would take this as an example and give their own orders. The people below still don't listen. Again. Revision of the annals is possible. Don't talk about government anymore.

Wang Ju weighed the weight and took a step back, unable to advance, otherwise he would completely anger Gao Tao, but this retreat, there is no doubt that this thorn is always stuck in Wang Ju's throat.

"Why does Sima Junshi have to embarrass Zi'an?"

"There are many reasons," Wang Ju said briefly, but it was reduced to a simple sentence. The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory.

Zhang Qi pondered.

"Brother Qianfu, if you want to understand, please take a look at a few articles by my teacher, indeed, this country needs to exist some dignity and humility, without humility, there is no authority, there is no order, but the dignity and humility in my heart are different from Sima Guang's humility. Or to put it this way, the world in Sima Guang's eyes. It's either black or white. But Brother Qianfu, open your eyes and look at the world, how many real black and white are there? ”

In his previous life, there was an excellent novel, "Ordinary World", in which the heroine died. At that time, when he saw somewhere, he wanted to scold his mother.

But when you think about it, this is the real ending. If the heroine is still alive, can she really combine with Sun Shaoping?

If nothing else, if you marry your sister to the Gao family, the Gao family may be happy, but more afraid and worried, at least the Gao family is about to turn gray for the dowry, and the Gao family is still a small official family......

Although classes are everywhere, can the upper class do whatever they want? This is the real difference between Wang Ju and Sima Guang's thinking.

"Brother Qianfu, don't get involved in these dirty things, I'll solve them."

Zhang Qi smiled bitterly, the word dirty was used a little too much, but politics was definitely not so bright.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Ji returned to the post house.

The next day, Wang Ju took him to see the artillery.

There are two types of guns, one is large artillery and the other is small artillery.

Its power and lethality are about equivalent to the Hongyi cannon at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and not as good as the red-coated cannon of the Qing Dynasty. However, unlike the Hongyi cannon of the Ming Dynasty, or the enhanced version of the red-coated cannon of the Qing Dynasty, many new changes have appeared in it.

This change should be gratifying, although the Qing Dynasty red-coated cannon is more powerful and explosive, but it has many limitations, such as being good at siege, clumsy in field battles, slow loading and firing, because of the deliberate pursuit of big and strong, and the cannon body is bulky. Although it is large and strong, it still casts the cannon with mud, resulting in a large number of trachoma in the cannon body, frequent explosions, and even some crosshairs in the Ming Dynasty have disappeared. So don't look at the Qing Dynasty's red-coated cannons are very large, the largest can fire more than ten kilograms of super cannonballs, and the actual artillery technology is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty!

He didn't know about these Wang Ju, including the detailed cannon casting technology, but he had some insight.

Under his guidance, this kind of artillery is similar to the combination of the Hongyi cannon in the late Ming Dynasty and the European field artillery of the same era, the pipe wall is thicker, the gun body is thicker from front to back, and the double diameter is larger, so that the firing range is longer, and it is not easy to explode.

The biggest difference is that the flowering bomb, in fact, the flowering bullet in the Ming Dynasty is still a solid bullet, and there is no gunpowder inside, but it is mainly cast iron, so it will be shattered after landing, and the fragments will burst due to the rebound force, so the lethality is stronger than the bouncing of the solid bullet.

But this artillery uses real flowering shells.

Because of this, the other side has been developing it for nearly ten years, burning countless money silks, although its range may not be as good as the redcoat cannon, but the lethality is no worse than the redcoat cannon, and the operation is more flexible, the accuracy is higher, and at the same time it is not as bulky as the redcoat cannon.

In addition, it is the kind of small cannon similar to the Franc cannon, that is, the field cannon that is really used for field battles.

After testing their power, Wang Ju said, "About the end of next year, I will provide you with a hundred cannons and two hundred small cannons." ”

"Can you have more?"

"Brother Qianfu, do you know how much a cannon costs? How much does a cannonball cost? Wang Jule said.

But even that's a lot of them, think about how beautiful the picture would be when 300 guns were in action.

…………

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to see off the teacher." Wang Ju said.

Zhao Ji hesitated for a while, unable to refuse, Zhang Zai is not Wang Ju's father, but Wang Ju's mentor, respecting teachers, is also an extremely important ethics, and Zhang Zai and Wang Ju are half of the body of the relationship of half father and half son.

He nodded: "Go and go back quickly." ”

Mainly, there are too many things going on during this time.

Wang Ju also knew, but fortunately, at this time, there was no talk of worrying about the teacher. Otherwise, it will be miserable.

Wang Ju went to Guanzhong.

Jang Jae has not yet been buried. is waiting for Wang Ju and Zhang Gui to come back.

The two came. Then settle into the ground.

With the help of Wang Ju, the scale of Zhang Zai's academy has become a bit large over the years, and there are countless disciples who have been taught, and seven students have been admitted to the Jinshi one after another.

So there are a lot of people who mourn on this day.

Of course, no one has Wang Ju's attention, whether it is a good evaluation of him or a bad evaluation of him.

Guo cried bitterly.

Wang Ju looked at the new tomb, but his heart was full of emotion. It's that people are going to die, and in this era, there are very few people who live long, in fact, he doesn't know, it is because of him that Zhang Zai would have died five or six years earlier. Wang Ju didn't think about it, he was just reflecting, he had done so much, but people die like lights going out, and it's not the same after death?

It's the same. I can't avoid being a little depressed.

The autumn breeze is blowing, and the cornflower is swaying in the wind. Wang Ju came to Guo and asked, "Master, the teacher has left, what are you going to do?" ”

"Ju'er, I don't know," Guo said, wiping a handful of tears.

"It's better for you to bring your brother to the capital too," anyway, I will come to Shaanxi the year after tomorrow, and the house in the capital is also empty, which means that I will never live in that house in the future, so it is better to hand it over to my wife and brother, but Wang Ju didn't say.

"I want to go back to my mother's house in Nanyang."

"That's okay," Wang Ju didn't persuade again. It's good to go back to Nanyang, the Northern Song Dynasty is safe, and the capital will become more and more prosperous, but something happened in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the capital is first a big fire pit.

"Ju'er, before your teacher died, he asked me to bring you a word, kill less, killing is not the royal way."

"Master, I only killed six people, and the rest are only mismatched, if I want to kill people, how can I say ten thousand?"

With a commercial tax of 10,000 guan and at least 200,000 guan worth of commercial goods, how much of such a transaction could appear in the entire Song Dynasty? This is a stalk deliberately planted in order to reduce killing.

But why did he still kill people, it was a place, the golden silk line in the capital!

This year, the trade between the other side and the Song Dynasty has increased to more than 11 million guan, not including various donations, but this amount is still weak compared to the transaction volume of the Golden Silk Bank.

Think about how much gold and silver cloth the Song Dynasty had to use every year, and the cloth alone would reach hundreds of millions. Therefore, each transaction of the gold silk bank can often reach hundreds of thousands, millions. But the forces behind it are complicated, the money and goods transactions are not together, in the gold silk shop to set up transactions, the place of commercial goods transactions to all parts of the country, and it is difficult to check the accounts, maybe it stimulated the development of commerce and trade in the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty did not get a penny of commercial taxes.

After the Qi business tax, Wang Ju's first target was the gold silk shop, and in order to prevent collusion between officials and businessmen, Wang Ju himself took the economic people on the other side to personally check the accounts.

In the process of clearing the accounts, Wang Ju sentenced six people to death, fifteen people were mismatched, and some people were flogged, anyway, they all knew that Wang Ju was crazy, and no one dared to impeach. But because even the gold silk shop has moved the knife, it has also forced other businessmen to start to be honest.

However, some powerful people are very shameless, and they have exploited the loopholes of the edict, and in order to reduce taxes, they even openly woo small and medium-sized traders, and you can pay a little "protection fee" and put it in my name, and you can be exempted from half of the commercial tax. In fact, more than half, when calculating the value of commercial goods, a part will be reduced, and it can only be said that the imperial court can barely levy forty percent of the commercial tax.

Therefore, the Zhu banknote of the commercial tax fell by two percent, which was also expected by Wang Ju, and even he intended to use this in exchange for the compromise of Dr. Haoqiangshi, although the Zhu banknote decreased, but the total amount surged. Therefore, the total amount of commercial tax this year may reach 18 million, which is the first year, and the amount of commercial tax will be even more in the coming year.

However, Zhang Zai is also kind, killing is not the solution after all, it is nothing more than deterrence, there are many ways to deterrence, and killing people to solve it is the most radical way, so before he died, he instructed Guo Shi to let Guo transfer this sentence to Wang Ju.

But Wang Ju was speechless, although he gave these people a room to compromise, but in the past few months, I don't know how many controversies have occurred for this Qi business tax. Even if there is a compromise, I am not reconciled.

Strictly speaking, I will come to Shaanxi the year after tomorrow, if I don't kill, I will only be exiled, and even the punishment will only be a scapegoat - the stewards and economic people of each family will not have enough deterrence, and as soon as I leave, maybe after a few years, it will be restored.

Wang Ju held the gift of half a son and personally presided over the funeral for Zhang Zai. Immediately ride back to the capital.

There's a lot more to it.

The first is a rate hike. Each year, the amount of savings fluctuates by 1%. That is, save 100 yuan, and now the annual interest can reach 4 yuan!

This is also due to the lack of currency.

150 million pieces of silk were issued, but they still couldn't leverage the economy of the Song Dynasty, nor did they meet the demand for currency in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, almost half of these silk exchanges are in the hands of ordinary people and merchants, and even old friends continue to circulate.

However, the imperial court can not issue Jiaozi indiscriminately, last year Jingdong Road merchants cashed a large amount of gold and silver, this spring Chengdu Fulu again a large amount of gold and silver, can not be said to be a businessman broke the law. Because the imperial court allowed the people to do this, otherwise how could the prestige of the silk cloth be established?

But in this way, there will be a crisis in gold and silver, a crisis in gold and silver, and a crisis in silk exchange.

In fact, what the Song Dynasty scholars didn't know was that for this gold and silver, they sold a large number of workshops and pit mines. However, this is not the solution after all, how does the economic volume of the other side compare with the economic volume of the Song Dynasty?

But there is a lack of money. There is a shortage of money to lend money.

By the end of August, there were only more than 40 million yuan in deposits and 80 million yuan in loans. Don't ask how difficult it is to lend, it's all put down, without him, the interest rate is too low. Think about the Song Dynasty, the lowest private usury was six cents, and the interest of each line was only one cent, how much difference is this? At least the banking departments will not be profitable.

So there was this edict.

In fact, there are not only these new silk payments, but also the copper coins issued over the years, which have reached more than 150 million yuan, and a large amount of gold and silver, gold and silver can also be saved, but the interest payment is not gold and silver, but silk payment.

If most of this loose money is collected in the banking department, then the banking department can lend more than 150 million yuan a year, and even more than 200 million yuan in the future. Not to mention other income, interest income alone can be intimidating.

Zhang Shangying objected: "Taibao, if this is the case, once there are more people who save money in the future, as much as 300 million yuan, then one percent of interest will have to pay 3 million yuan." And the loan money may not be fully recovered......"

"Tianjue, the main reason is that the people don't fully believe in the banking department now, and they are not used to depositing money in the banking department, and at the same time, the affairs of the bank are not popularized, and when they get used to it, the interest of the banking department can be transferred."

"Doesn't that hurt its credibility?"

"Tianjue, don't you see the benefits of them? After it can continue to perform peacefully for three or four years, will the imperial court rely on it? Not only will the imperial court rely on it, but many merchants will also rely on it. At that point, what's the point of making some minor adjustments? ”

Dozens of other bigwigs were silent.

How many benefits, a year has passed, and now we can see that except for 10 million or 20 million yuan of loans, they are used in inexplicable places, and may even be loaned by some businessmen to transfer to usury. This Wang Ju doesn't ask, although this practice is hateful, but in fact, because of the popularity of the banking department, the interest rate of all kinds of private usury has all dropped, at least the 300% interest and some black-hearted daily and monthly interest are getting less and less. This is still due to the lack of silk payments, and the affairs of various businesses have not yet been popularized, otherwise the blow to these black-hearted usurers will be even heavier.

This is one of them, and the rest of the money is mostly used to purchase various industries, such as operating pit and mining workshops, or used for other investments, or directly used for businessmen, although the commercial tax is not fair, but under Wang Ju's adjustment, only one tax is levied within a state, only two taxes are levied within the way, and only three taxes are levied within the country, at most it is a little higher in valuation, but the officials of each field affairs do not dare to go too far under the new law, so all kinds of commerce and trade have gradually become more prosperous.

As for how many people were fed, it is difficult for the imperial court to say, but the income can definitely be roughly estimated. At least next year, Wang Ju will be able to realize what Wang Ju said, the increase in direct income and commercial tax can make the imperial court profit by more than 20 million yuan.

In fact, it can be implemented this year, that is, the profit from the issuance of silk exchanges, but this profit is not easy to say, because the imperial court paid a lot of gold and silver as the principal. Dare to love them, and the gold and silver brought by the other side are also regarded as the gold and silver of the imperial court.

In fact, there are some clever ministers who have seen through Wang Ju's intentions, and Wang Ju's various policies to benefit the people must lead to a decrease in the income of the imperial court. Then I want to maintain this balance. Attention must be paid to the operation of the banking division. Otherwise, let Wang Ju continue to toss. There will be another loss in the state finances.

The deficit at the beginning of Xining was deliberately downplayed by people from all sides, and Zhao Ji didn't want to mention it, why, this mentioned it to hinder his father's reputation. It's that Wang Ju sometimes mentions it, but he doesn't deliberately mention it. However, as these important ministers, they all knew in their hearts, and they were all scared by that deficit.

Wang Ju said again: "The other side may bring about 1.5 million to 2 million taels of gold to the imperial court from this year to next spring. five hundred to six million taels of silver. ”

"So much?" Zhang Dan was surprised.

"Last winter, I saw that there might still be a serious shortage of silk deliveries, so I sent my men to the other side by steam clipper to inform them of their emergency support. Zihou, you must know that for the sake of these gold and silver, the other side sacrificed a lot, not only overdrawing the private use of gold and silver on the other side, but also overdrawing trade, and even shaking the banks on the other side. ”

There are also banks on the other side, everyone knows it. But this is not as serious as Wang Ju said, no matter what. On the other side, the bank still has absolute prestige, and seeing that the control is loose, it is actually much stronger than that of the Song Dynasty, at least not like the Song Dynasty, which has intricate interests.

Wang Ju was short of time, so he temporarily transferred half of the gold and silver reserves of the Bank Division on the other side to support.

I have to make up for it in the future, and after a long time, no matter how strong the control is, there will be problems.

The use of gold and silver among the people is not so serious.

The most serious is the trade overdraft, in order to get more gold and silver, as long as the gold and silver are used to buy commercial goods, all are discounted, which leads to a loss of about one million guan, and also overdraws the future trade profits.

However, how much is lost, Wang Ju is not clear now, that is, gold and silver, and those over there from the Great Eclipse will not return until next spring to know the specific amount. But it will be next year, and after that, the other side will only support a small amount of gold and silver, after all, the two major transfers of gold and silver will have some adverse effects on the development of the other side. The rest is up to the Song Dynasty to figure out a way.

The reason for this is for a change, that is, to continue to print 100 million pieces of silk next year.

In fact, it is a bit risky to do this, after all, the amount of gold and silver is still a little insufficient, but fortunately, Wang Ju will still be in the book next year and will continue to be able to control it.

At the same time, he also ordered Jiaozhi and Yunnan to set up several mutual markets, and use the commercial goods of the Song Dynasty to find a way to exchange the gold and silver of several small countries in the south. Although these countries are small, they are home to many gold and silver mines, especially Bagan.

Therefore, if you get through next year safely, there should be no big problem the year after.

However, Wang Ju will never say this, otherwise he will be used by someone with a heart if he doesn't get it right. Some people don't care about the life or death of the country, and do everything they can to suppress their opponents.

"Moreover, next year, the imperial court will add 600 operations, and from now on, it will be planned, and at the same time, relevant personnel will be transferred to various operations nearby for internship."

The Song Dynasty had a total of more than 300 state capital supervision troops, although a large amount of new territory in the south was obtained, but during Xining, Wang Anshi cut some state troops, and now there are still more than 300 state capital supervision troops, but some places are still very backward, or the terrain is special, such as the Nanguang two roads recently won several barbarian states, although Wang Ju allocated millions of yuan in the spring for people's livelihood or infrastructure, but did not dare to set up business.

Therefore, this list only includes 305 state capital military supervisors, as well as nearly 400 counties that are not state capitals but have relatively prosperous economies, this is the second step of expansion, and in the future, there will be 1,000 or hundreds of administrative affairs one after another, at that time, basically every state and county will have administrative affairs, and even some important economic towns will also have administrative affairs, and at that step, the bank can involve the people's livelihood of the entire country.

This was also said a long time ago, and everyone had no objections.

However, Wang Ju's next sentence made everyone in an uproar, and Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty, the princes, and the ministers said last year that it should be taken from the people and used by the people. The country's economic situation will get better and better with the emergence of the banking department, so it will be used for the people. ”

"How can it be used for the people?"

"Your Majesty, please allocate the equivalent of fifteen million pieces of silk silk to all prefectures and counties across the country, so that each prefecture and county can build roads, water conservancy, and bridges according to the situation in their jurisdiction."

"Taibao, the state has spent a lot of money this year," Cai Chengli said.

Many other ministers also chimed in.

is not only Wang Ju's policies to benefit the people, but also Miao Shizhong and Miao Shizhong. A beautiful victory was fought in the South. But the two did not contain their troops. Take all the nearly ten large prefectures above Pu'an Prefecture and to the east, and their area is at least equivalent to the normal area of six or seven state armies in the Song Dynasty! But this battle undoubtedly incurred expenses, and the expenses during the battle were subsidized by the two roads, but the subsidies on the Guangnan West Road undoubtedly reduced the income of the imperial court, and there was a reward after the war. Miao Shizhong and Lu Dazhong asked the court for help, our spring tax has not been implemented, and the prefectures do not have much money, so please ask the court to immediately allocate money and silk to reward the bereavement.

Wang Ju laughed and laughed.

However, the significance of this battle is not trivial, not only to deter the southwest Yi tribes, so that the chiefs of the ministries and departments have come to Beijing to express their sincerity, and the Song Dynasty officially got such a large area of territory, but also compressed the country China into an irregular rectangle, without thickness, advanced civilization can radiate. The easiest. In the autumn, the trade route between Tanzhou and Juzhou was basically opened. Regardless of whether this trade route is a barbarian merchant or a Han merchant, at least the blockage will be improved.

In fact, the battle went relatively smoothly, and it was also because of the changes in Pu'an Prefecture, especially Wang Ju's placement of a large mutual market in Pu'an Prefecture, which made many surrounding barbarians see the changes in Pu'an Prefecture, so many low-level people welcomed the arrival of the Song army in turn.

Although the wealth generated by this mutual market led to the invasion of the barbarians, it was also because of this mutual market that it led to this great victory.

In the end, Wang Ju gave two roads of money and silk, and at the same time allocated an additional five million yuan for these new state soldiers and people's livelihood, which was too backward, if the imperial court did not subsidize, it was occupied, because the roads were not smooth, the farming methods were backward, and the environment was closed, and the imperial court still could not govern well.

But this is equivalent to the imperial court incurring more than 10 million additional expenditures.

Therefore, Zhao Ji was also suspicious: "Wang Qing, if you want to fight in the summer, you will need a lot of money." ”

There are still a lot of savings in the treasury and the inner treasury, and it is not a big problem to allocate this money, but after the key is allocated, what will happen to the cost of summer cutting in the future?

"There are several reasons why the minister did this, the imperial court embezzled a large amount of silk materials, which led to the rise in the price of silk, in fact, these silk materials, in all the fabrics in the country, the proportion is not too high. However, because of the misappropriation, some merchants were given the opportunity to hoard the curtain. But there is a lot of cloth in the treasury, and although the country needs a lot of cloth every year, the price of this cloth must fall as cotton becomes more popular, and even better cotton varieties appear in the future. Saving too much is actually a kind of depreciation and waste. ”

Better cotton seeds, not brought over, may not have been found on the other side.

But no one doubted it, because several grains had begun to be harvested, and the yields were very high.

But the distribution of these cloths will undoubtedly suppress the hoarding of these merchants, and will not make the price of silk materials rise next year, otherwise the cost of printing silk will inevitably increase. The second is that although the Xining reform law has finally made the country's finances more prosperous, some of the ills among them have indeed hurt some of the people, which is also returned to the people in disguise. When the people's hearts are stable, the country will be stable, and the upper and lower levels will work together, and this kind of internal environment will be conducive to the summer war. ”

Sima Guang said that the wealth of the country is unchanging, which is also wrong. At the time of Taizong, could the economy of our dynasty be compared with the present? Some people say that the minister is a road building maniac, the actual transportation is developed, the economy will become better, the people have surplus money in their hands, they can stimulate the development of commerce and trade, and the national economy will also be revitalized, and the changes in the states and counties when the minister served in the local government is the best proof. In fact, if it were not for the additional costs incurred by the southern army, the minister planned to spend 20 million yuan of cloth every year this year and next year for the prefectures and counties, so that they could build roads and water conservancy. ”

"Your Majesty, Zhugong, the Qin State has the Qin Straight Road, the Ling Canal, the Zheng State Canal, the Dujiangyan, the Great Wall, the Han Dynasty artificially diverted the Yellow River, the Sui Dynasty has the Grand Canal, these projects have successively benefited future generations, but these dynasties also died because of this, so the Tang Dynasty rarely had large-scale projects. In terms of actual engineering, no dynasty can compare with our dynasty, but our dynasty is not carrying out large-scale projects, but many small projects and small water conservancy, but the scale of water conservancy of these projects is far better than that of previous dynasties and dynasties. So the sea became a mulberry field, the high mountains rose tea plantations, and the Pinghu Lake became fertile soil. Now the minister's practice is the same, but it is different from the previous one, it is not an errand service, but a recruitment, which is related to the state and county projects of the people themselves, that is, related to the happiness of the people themselves, so the people will not suffer, but be happy. However, after two years of transformation, the road situation in various states and counties in our country will be further improved, and there will also be some small water conservancy, and the impact will be very far-reaching. ”

Wang Ju plans to supervise the whereabouts of the money by the various lifting divisions, transfer divisions, and criminal prison divisions, but there will still be some of them greedy by the officials, and the remaining materials will not be very expensive, and it is impossible to use reinforced concrete now, and the big deal is the loss of some vehicles and the consumption of gunpowder, so if 30 million guan is allocated, at least 20 million guan will be turned into wages and distributed to the poor people. This will undoubtedly alleviate the pressure on many poor people.

"As for the summer war, it may be expensive, but it can't be as long as the Qingli calendar, so the cost will not be higher than the cost of the Qingli war. Your Majesty, don't worry. Moreover, it seems that the money has been allocated, and the control of the actual cost of silk materials has saved a part of the money, and the people have more money in their hands, and commerce and trade are prosperous, and part of it has also flowed back to the treasury through commercial taxes. ”

Speaking of this, what should I do?

In fact, it was not as easy as Wang Ju said, after walking out of the Yanhe Palace, Wang Ju was even thinking in his heart that it would be good if he proposed to be in Zhongshu for four years, not three years.

But this is impossible, not to mention Zhao Ji's suspicions, even Zhao Ji's body, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive at that time. Maybe he went to Shaanxi in the front, and Zhao Ji would get sick later. Don't look at Wang's huge spending of money, in fact, every expenditure is cautious and walking on thin ice.

Just like this year, he plans to improve the law of protecting horses and protecting the armor, and at the same time moderately ban the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in some states and counties, but it is precisely in consideration of the finances and the future expenditure of the summer war, not to mention the future, there will be a lot of expenditure next year. So Wang Ju didn't propose it in the end, but delayed it until next year to implement it according to the situation.

Therefore, Wang Ju said silently in his heart: "I hope the wind and rain will be smooth in the past two years." ”

Once a major disaster comes, not only will some people take advantage of this to attack, but the imperial court will have to spend a lot of money.

However, what I was afraid of came again. (To be continued.) )
