Chapter 797: Dedication
Zhang Qi looked at the information in his hand and was a little disbelieving.
Wang Ju couldn't judge how much effect Helan Stone would have, so Zhang Qi was also suspicious. Like Wang Ju, he has the same mentality that only on the battlefield can he see the true chapter, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, and the rest of the arrangements can be successful, and it doesn't matter if it can't be done.
But there is one thing, before the real fight, whoever does more will have a greater chance of victory.
Therefore, Zhang Qi is cooperative, but can not be clearly arranged.
In a simple sentence, it is called understanding but not understanding.
There is another aspect that seems to be understood or not.
Wang Ju called it the policy of national integration, and it is even more complicated.
Wang Ju has a clear understanding of this, why people don't appreciate the kneeling platform office for so many years, first, the benefits of these kneeling have not really entered thousands of households, and second, there are constantly domestic and foreign forces brainwashing. In fact, there are many people in China who still have the attitude that blood is thicker than water, and they dare not call the Chinese rescue team, the mainland rescue team, but the Chinese rescue team, even for fear that some frogs will hurt their pride. But that's it, the group can't even enter the disaster area, and on the contrary, the Japanese people go to the disaster relief and become a high God, or rather, the father is here.
You must know that Chinese traditional culture respects ancestors and bloodlines. It's just that Wuhua is chaotic like that, and there are not many people who recognize foreign races as their fathers, or as powerful as Yuanmeng, and the northern Han people have almost killed them, but under the ** power of all evils, the people spontaneously fell their heads.
When did you forget your ancestors to this point?
Well, there are so many twists and turns that at least a third of the people can't treat them as Han Chinese anymore. But there is really no mistake in the policy of kneeling down.
That's a good lesson.
So Wang Ju did a very successful job in the south. Zhang Qi went to Yunnan two roads. I talked with Wang Juchang for a long time, and I also did it very successfully.
In fact, it's very simple, and Enwei is used together.
Hui wants to be truly favored, and if he is truly favored, he still does not listen, and he uses force or means similar to force to deter.
But Zhang Kai still seems to understand but does not understand.
Don't think it's a derogatory term, this is Zhang Ji, and there are many people who don't even understand it.
However, what made Zhang Qi not believe it was that Renduo Lingding really sent someone to speak. It's not a letter, so as not to give people a handle, and then go to the front line and ask Zhang Kai how to carry out this ransom.
"Can you really make ......?" Zhang Qi meditated in his heart.
Ren Duo Ling Ding wanted to talk, then talk, Zhang Kai opened a list, which listed the ransom of the noble generals among the prisoners of war, either with money or with Helan stones.
Under Han Yun's operation for so many years, Helan Stone is also divided into several grades. The first is the material, some of which are conducive to ink without dripping. Some materials are not conducive to ink, followed by texture, without which you cannot carve exquisite patterns, and finally size.
It is divided into eight or nine grades.
The prices of each grade are different, but in general, the price given by Zhang Qi is slightly higher than that given by ordinary merchants at the border.
Actually, this has a purpose, but who can understand Guan Jian......
Ren Duo Ling Ding looked at this price list and the long list, not all of them were to be ransomed, and the Liang family had already asked the Liao State for help, if according to the previous practice, the Song Dynasty would release all the prisoners of war. If it weren't for being so soft and generous, the Liang family wouldn't have dared to fight the Song Dynasty so much.
But in this battle, Xixia did lose very badly, although Xixia may have no generals to replace, let himself continue to guard Tiandu Mountain, Renduo Lingding still has pressure in his heart. Therefore, in this long list, some nobles with backgrounds must be redeemed, and some of their own right-hand men must also be redeemed, and as for the others, they will have to find a way. Helpless, the ransom in the Song Dynasty was too high.
Therefore, he sent a messenger to contact Zhang Qi, asking for money, there is no fact, after the defeat, the price of Western Xia immediately skyrocketed, the people could not live, that there was money to redeem people, but Helan stone has some, but this price is not right, he will be all kinds of Helan stone prices increased three to four times.
The two sides sent people to negotiate several times, but anyway, they talked at the foot of Tiandu Mountain, and Xixia was embarrassed to this point.
In the end, the price was set at about twice the price given by Zhang Qi, and Zhang Qi released more than 200 distinguished prisoners of war one after another.
Actually, don't take this ransom seriously...... Its intention is to have this price, and it is also to let the Tangut people reprice the Helan stone in the Xixia territory.
Zhang Ji found Han Yun and said: "Taibao is a god, no one can match it." ”
Han Yun smiled proudly and said, "Zhang Gong, not only that, if Zhang Gong uses troops at the end of this winter, maybe because of this move, I can provide Zhang Gong with nearly half of the battle expenses." ”
The cost of a battle is made up of several aspects.
The number of soldiers and civilians sent, the quantity and cost of food, armor and other logistics, and the length of time the battle lasted, just like the battle of Pingxia City, which seemed to be fought fiercely, but the actual cost was less than Wang Ju expected, the reason was that it did not last long, and only the soldiers and civilians in Pingxia City fought in advance, if it wasn't for Qu Zhen to let his subordinates chase into Wuyan Gorge, the cost of this battle would be lower.
But it's not that you save money, so many forts will also cost a lot of money to repair.
The other is the rewards and pensions before and after the war, the number of casualties, and if it is a great victory, how much material is captured from the enemy.
From the latter points, the battle of Pingxia City was equally brilliant, not only captured a large number of grain, cattle and sheep tents, but also captured a lot of armor, at least more than half of the advanced armor obtained by the Western Xia from the Song Dynasty after the defeat of the Xia Dynasty, this battle was recovered by the Song Dynasty.
So Han Yun said that he could pay nearly half, but it was hard to say how much he could pay.
Moreover, the implementation of the third-step battle plan, the scale of the battle is not small, and the imperial court must also pay the relevant money.
Especially Wang Ju's remote command, his use of soldiers is very extravagant, and it is not that he is extravagant and wasteful.
Therefore, Wang Ju is almost crazy about money now.
Is it true that he can't see these controversies and ills?
This is helpless, the first fear of Zhao Xu, don't say that Zhao Ji is healthy. It's a stroke. I had a stroke again in ancient times. Say that the attack will occur, and once the attack occurs, it can no longer be cured.
If you don't make the country look big in the past few years, Gao Tao will take the position, and wait for trouble.
However, the country's finances were healthy, and the Western Xia was restored to stability, and there was not much harsh government to accumulate wealth, although it may hurt the interests of some elites who did not seize the opportunity to develop. Gao Tao is really stupid to the extreme, and he dethrones these beneficial policies one by one?
Then the premise of the key is to have a big appearance.
Besides, that's money.
If the Western Xia is pacified, and there is no harsh people, and there is not a huge deficit in the treasury like Zhao Jicai's accession to the throne, on the contrary, there is still a lot of savings, and he has retired successfully, what will Gao Tao think?
These. It's not what Zhang Ji can think of.
So he said worriedly: "The newly introduced measures of the CPIC are very controversial." ”
To that thirty million. Zhang Qi also paid attention.
In fact, don't underestimate the 30 million, Sima Guang said that the wealth of mountains, rivers and rivers has its own fixed number, Wang Ju said that the cake can be bigger, if in the long run, Sima Guang is right, the earth has so many resources, and there are no more when they are used up, but in the Song Dynasty, saying these words is not equivalent to farting.
However, if this cake wants to become bigger, it is done step by step, and the sudden emergence of an additional 30 million yuan of exports will have a great impact on the commerce and trade of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, most of the money in the hands of businessmen is invested, and the 30 million is almost entirely a loan model, how many businessmen can lend so many commercial goods? So Wang Ju made a supplement, if the capital in his hand is insufficient, he can get these IOUs guaranteed by the imperial court to various bank loans. However, there is one clause that will be redeemed directly from the business by the merchants on the other side in the future, and this interest money has nothing to do with the merchants.
Most businessmen don't care, regardless of this profit or a half profit for more than a year, first of all, they have to have capital turnover.
Therefore, a 30 million greatly stimulated the development of handicrafts and commerce in the Song Dynasty, including the distant Jingyuan Road.
Zhang Ji saw only that, but he didn't know that Wang Ju did this, inadvertently exposing the strength of the other side and his control over the other side. This is not in line with Wang Ju's approach, even if he goes to the other side in the future, he does not want to be an overseas king, but continues to hide behind the scenes, so that no matter whether he is immigrant or trade, he will not be sniped by the Central Plains.
This one didn't come to mind, but the other he did.
And Jingyuan Road is also being implemented, and it has also encountered all kinds of troubles.
Wang Ju also knew this, so the implementation was almost gradual at the beginning.
Why is it almost gradual, because when the edict asked the state governments to implement this edict, it was not that the government sent people to investigate the so-called ownerless mountains, mudflats, and lakes, but that the edict was posted in the form of a cloth in the downtown areas of each county town or in various markets, so that the villagers of each village could find Lizheng, and then Lizheng would report to the government.
Only then did the government send a special person to each village with Tie Kuang to explain the relevant policies in detail, and then conduct a secret bidding.
That is to say, it not only has an adaptation process and buffer time, but at the same time, if the strong force is too strong, just like Han Qi's family property, many villages and entire villages belong to the Han family's tenant farmers, and they are still fighting for the mountains, tidal flats, lakes and lakes?
This part of the strongest opposition can thus be avoided.
But what about the rest?
Don't say that there are really many barren mountains and wild tombs on Jingyuan Road, even if Jiangdong Wei, because of the production problem, although it seems that the population has swelled into the invisible crisis of the Song Dynasty in the future, but it is far less densely populated than the later generations, so there are also a lot of ditches and lakes within a polder, these can not only carry the water chestnut, but also raise fish, if scientific stocking, and raise some geese and ducks. In fact, if it is a special person who specializes in operation, the annual income of one acre of water surface will reach about the same amount of money.
Of course, the so-called Borderlands is a joke.
The real terra nullius, even if they are contracted for free, are not contracted by anyone, because the place must be too remote to be developed.
How can a region that can be developed be borderland?
However, the mystery lies in the strength of the people, with this edict, and these mountains, tidal flats, lakes and rivers are not really not on the field book, but let one or two strong invaders, there is no way, now there is an opportunity, other people are not happy.
The common people are afraid of Han Zhongyan, but will they be afraid of Zhang San and Li Si, and they will be afraid of their lives?
Then dozens of families in a village collude, even if Zhang San and Li Si have prestige, they can't stop it.
In this way, these mountains, tidal flats, lakes and rivers can be well developed. The rest of the people also benefited from the sharing of the contract fee.
However, these Zhang San Li Si. Since it can openly occupy these mountains, tidal flats, lakes and rivers. It's also not easy to mess with, and even has a good relationship with many officials in various states and counties. Think about it, will they be willing to let someone else contract these areas?
Or for example, Wang Anshi's Fang Tian lost the method, so how many fields did Fang Tian end up in the end?
In order not to make this edict a piece of waste paper, in order to let other people see the determination of the imperial court, Wang Ju gave in the case of one step, and the rest had to be ruthless, and the officials of various states and counties did not act. All of them will be degraded, and if the powerful people in various places dare to openly make things difficult and obstructive, they will all be dealt with with emphatically, and if they are killed, they will be beheaded and killed, as long as they go too far, they will be immediately punished with the punishment of mismatching, and even forcibly escort themselves from the south to Shaanxi Road for labor reform, so as to reduce the burden of forced labor on the people of Shaanxi Road!
But if you do this, the whole country will be in an uproar. Including Jingyuan Road, there are also many strong protests!
Han Yun replied: "In fact, Taibao has thought about this move a long time ago. Originally, it was planned to wait for the bank division to pay dividends at the end of this year, but it happened that the number of households in various prefectures and counties was also sent to the imperial court, and with convincing power, the CPIC planned to launch this move. However, the death of the prince disrupted the Taibao plan. Therefore, what plans and arrangements must be implemented this year, and it will be stable next spring, and then the Taibao can come to Shaanxi Road with confidence. ”
In fact, Han Yun is not too much in favor.
Not only this initiative, but also the 30 million, undoubtedly exposed.
In his thoughts, Wang Ju has already done a good job, there is no need to think about consummation, consummation is too much, and if you don't do it well, it will add to the snake.
But Wang Ju did not stop and promoted the billboard system.
Start from the capital, on the other side of the corridor on both sides of the royal street, or the state bridge, the great Xiangguo Temple and other prosperous places, let the officials stand up billboards one by one, and set up a canopy, each tablet is ready to post a huge large advertisement, according to the flow of people, each billboard charges from 50 wen per month to consistently.
Don't ask private individuals there is no way to post advertisements, there is really no good way, the Song Dynasty was commercially developed, and many houses on the street have opened up into mansions, will you post advertisements? Or set up your own billboards, but don't forget, in fact, in ancient times, cities also had special personnel to manage the demolition of illegal buildings, sanitation, patrols, warnings, and sometimes sent guards to take charge, such as left and right Jinwu, one of the important responsibilities is the city management!
It's okay for the government to set up billboards, but will it let private individuals run to the royal street and put up billboards casually.
And it is not expensive, and the Song Dynasty also had a lot of primitive advertising awareness, such as setting up flags to attract guests.
I don't know if I don't wake up, but there are still people who want to try it. It worked......
In fact, its fees are really not high, but the amount is more, the entire Song Dynasty more than 300 prefecture military supervisors, more than 1,000 counties, thousands of prosperous market towns, each town even if it charges a thousand guan, under the accumulation of sand towers, the final number will be terrifying.
In fact, it was only promoted this year, and it earned more than 200,000 yuan, and next year, the national income reached more than 100,000 yuan, and the year after that, it rose to more than 2 million yuan.
More than two million yuan, even for the Song Dynasty, it was also a lot of income, and at least more than half of the subsidy for the exemption money was paid!
However, the Huizheng was not over, and after this edict was issued, the imperial court allocated another 16 million guan and distributed it to the prefectures and counties again for infrastructure construction.
Winter is coming.
Sima Guang came to the capital and offered a book.
In fact, this book of general knowledge of governance has been written very early, but Sima Guang has never presented it, but when the time comes, the more he waits, the more hopeless he becomes.
At this time, the timing of the book was not appropriate, but because of this contract for mountains, tidal flats, lakes and rivers, many serious disputes did arise, and perhaps it was the only time that was not the time.
However, this tome is indeed a remarkable history book, and it is also the first chronicle of China.
History books are inherently important, not only to learn from history, but also to pass on civilization, just like India, it is not without history, but there is no relevant annals, coupled with the continuous invasion of Western countries, so civilization is interrupted.
In ancient times, more attention was paid to the revision of history.
And Sima Guang was also old, so Zhao Ji personally met Sima Guang.
Sima Guang took the opportunity to say a few things, the first of which was the banking department. The banking department has been implemented for more than two years, and the praise far outweighs the opposition, and it is indeed effective, and if there is no banking department, how can Wang Ju implement various policies that benefit the people.
However, if you find faults in the soft hairs, you can still find their defects. That's the loss-making businessman. This low interest rate is at a loss. It really has nothing to do with the imperial court. However, there are always profits and losses in business. And there are more people who make more money than those who lose, especially after Wang Ju sent a special person to follow up on large loans, so that the number of loss-making businessmen was further reduced. Even if you lose money, if you don't lose much, you can still pay it back. But a very small number not only lost money, but also lost nothing. This is helpless, the bank is clearly the head of the imperial court, and he is also doing business. So he confiscated his house, land, and workshop, and sold it again to recover the loan.
In fact, there are not many businessmen who have come to this point, and the banking department does not want such a thing to happen, even if they sell their mortgaged houses and fields, most of them will not be able to recover the principal.
However, under Sima Guang's collection, more than a dozen cases of a family living a particularly miserable life because the bank department sold his real estate were collected, and then listed them one by one.
Zhang Dian was very annoyed and said, "Sima Gong." This year, the banking department has lent more than 200 million yuan, and you can only name these dozen cases. If these money loans fall into the hands of loan sharks, how many bankruptcies will occur? ”
"Zhang Zihou, you are not qualified to speak, let me ask your children what they have done on Liangzhejiang Road."
Pointing out that when Zhang Dian was in Jiaozhi Road, his son forcibly bought a lot of fertile land from a certain household in Kunshan at a low price, and finally the incident happened, and the imperial court was inconvenient to transfer Zhang Dian back, but many of Zhang Dian officials were removed.
Zhang Dian's face turned red, and Wang Ju secretly made a gesture at him to keep Zhang Duan silent and see how Sima Guang performed by dedicating books.
Then Wang Ju opened this new book again, read a few paragraphs, and thought, there are so many private goods.
Don't underestimate the influence of these historical records, just like Shang Ying, it's actually really good, but because of Sima Qian's historical records, Shang Ying has become a traitor through the ages!
But Wang Ju doesn't matter, not only the changes he brought in the Song Dynasty, but also the other side, if there are still only hundreds of thousands of people on the other side, then it can't turn over the big waves, but it is gradually approaching tens of millions of people, more than one million households, think about how long it took the Tang Dynasty from more than two million households to nearly 100 million people in Tianbao.
How can this feat, be discredited by a history book?
Sima Guang also said, or like a billboard, it seems that the people do not add endowment and the country uses it for its own use, but since ancient times, Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are a group of people who forget their righteousness for profit, and now the imperial court mainly promotes businessmen, what kind of system has it become? Or just like Wang Anshi, hiring ** to sell wine will become a joke through the ages and a shame for the Great Song Dynasty.
And then to the mountains, tidal flats, lakes and rivers, in order to earn the five percent tax, the imperial court made the world in an uproar, and the ministers wrote the annals of history, throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, how could there have been such a story?
Wang Ju put down this history book and asked: "These policies are not good, so according to Sima Gong's opinion, what should they do?" ”
"If the army is not raised for 20 years, the country will naturally become rich and strong."
"When the first emperor, our dynasty was very respectful to the Western Xia, why did the Western Xia send a large army to crusade against our dynasty?"
"If it weren't for the companion envoy Gao Yi to detain the Western Xia envoy Wu Zong for no reason, how would the Western Xia crusade against our dynasty?"
"Are you saying that Wu Zong came to Shuntian Gate and went to the Vertical Arch Hall to meet the first emperor as usual, Wu Zong refused to see him, Gao Yi was angry, and he was forbidden to the stable, Gao Yi did something wrong. Or that Wu Zong is more noble than the first emperor, or that Xixia is the father of our Great Song Dynasty, and he can't be offended! ”
"Wang Ju, the old man doesn't mean this, but can use other tricks to resolve it, not to be confined to the stable, if Xixia treats our Great Song envoys like this, how should the Great Song Dynasty treat them?"
"How to treat it, our Great Song envoys can only go to Youzhou, not even Xingqing Mansion, and talk about the stables of the palace! Even if our Great Song Dynasty is not right, we have to treat the Western Xia people as our fathers, including the first emperor and His Majesty, and treat them as sons. But I ask you again, the battle of Dashun City was initiated by me and Cai Gong, which seems to be huge, but with the funding of Shangjia, the court did not allocate much money. Pushing it further, after the Qingli War, Renzong rarely used troops, at most, it was the rebellion of Nong Zhigao in the south, and he spent some money. At least we can't let Nong Zhigao really occupy Lingnan and divide one side. However, why is the consequence of the 42-year ignorance of the military revolution that the state owes more than 160 million! ”
"Wang Ju, in a moment's spirit, 600,000 people lost their souls in the northwest."
Isn't it said that the consequences, this is the consequences.
"You have repaired this annat, recording all the important affairs from the Warring States period to the founding of our dynasty, when Wu Zetian killed Cheng Wuting, why did the Turks clap their hands and celebrate? Guo Gong went south and killed so many soldiers and civilians, only to defeat Jiaozhi...... Or rather, I'm a butcher. Even if I was a butcher, if I had been in the court at the time, would I have had these two fiascos? Of course, the imperial court is not the only one who is good at military affairs, and Zhang Zhifu is better at military affairs than me in the northwest. It is wrong for Emperor Tang Ming to depose his troops with his army, but is it right to fight against Tibet? Is it because of defeat that there will be no war, and the whole country will surrender? But how to fight again, so I don't go to the northwest, but first straighten out the economy in the court, and I grow up in economic and water conservancy, not military affairs. But I can't do this, I can't do that. Or listen to your arrangement, can you make this country rich and powerful! Wang Ju asked a series of questions.
Finally, he said: "Da Song needs people who do things, and people who don't need to sell their mouths!" (To be continued.) )
