Chapter 687: Flying Money Division
However, Duan Zhengming's future life will not be as miserable as he thought......
The group walked around the mountains and forests for another two days, and on the afternoon of the second day of the first month, Jiang Qing led everyone out of the mountains and forests, which is the boundary of Huazhubu, which belongs to the mixed area of Wuman and Baiman, which also means that they have become relatively safe.
So Jiang Qing found a few horses, and a few people rode to the east.
Jiang Qing found Wang Ju first and reported the situation.
The next day, Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun's brothers were brought in.
Wang Ju asked them to sit down.
These days, the outlaw life has made the brothers suffer a lot.
However, Wang Ju did not say, but said: "Shizi, take a look." ”
Wang Ju said, taking out a piece of paper, which was the draft he wrote to the imperial court.
Get Dali, you have to govern Dali.
How is it treated? Wang Ju wrote in detail on this piece of paper, and the liuguan and the local official ruled separately.
Because of the special situation in Dali, it is necessary to put a permanent economic envoy, in charge of Dali all the way to the government affairs, a permanent pacification envoy, and the general manager of soldiers and horses in charge of Dali's military affairs, and the promotion of envoys and transfer envoys, in charge of Dali's finances, the prison envoy in charge of the criminal prison case, and the camp field envoy in charge of farmland and water conservancy, but the camp field envoy belongs to the jurisdiction of the economic strategy, because farmland and water conservancy are also government affairs.
In fact, it is to formally place first-level officials above the state capital, so that Dali has become a three-level system, roads, prefectures, and counties, rather than a two-level official system of states and counties like other regions.
Why the right to score, this is also Wang Ju's fear of An Lushan and the like, after all, it is Dali. And not the Central Plains.
A decentralization. Separation of government, military, finance, and criminal law. It is not easy to produce An Lushan.
Moreover, in order to further prevent it, the liuguan is appointed for a three-year term, but in order to familiarize the officials who take over the local situation, it is handed over in batches, such as appointing the economic envoy in the first year, appointing the pacification envoy in the second year, and appointing the promotion envoy in the third year.
However, it is necessary to put a first-level official, after all, Dali has a vast area. There is inequality between the rich and the poor, and there are many barbarian people, and there can be rebellion at any time in the future, and if there are no first-level officials, they will not be able to teach the local people to develop rationally, nor can they allocate financial taxes according to the situation. Just like Tengchong Mansion, there are so many naked people, how to collect taxes, and they can't be taxed. If we don't send officials to govern, then we have to allocate tax support from other regions. And in case of rebellion. That is to concentrate on suppression.
This is the road, and the following is to the state capitals and counties, the state capital is placed in the state prefect, the general judgment, and the judge signs the judgment, and the county lord is aware of it, and the rest is served by the barbarians, and the situation of barbarian co-governance is implemented to ease the conflict.
The tax is still Wang Ju's implementation of the tax policy on Guangnan West Road, if it is two taxes, it is one out of ten taxes, and if it is money, it is one-fifteenth of the total income of his family.
However, the commercial tax must be controlled.
Don't underestimate this commercial tax, in the future, Luodian and Ziqi can establish a country, it is the huge commercial tax brought by the tea and horse trade, and the reason why the north and south Jiangman can be strong is also to take advantage of the terrain to control the trade tax between the Han people and the southwest Zhuyi, so it can be strong.
This Wang Ju must be put an end to, even if he does not hesitate to use troops to crusade.
It is also necessary to control the commercial tax, otherwise the ten taxes will not be able to meet the expenses brought about by future governance.
In addition to commercial taxes, there are also other revenues from pit and mine supervision, which can basically meet the needs of future governance expenditures.
Then to the soldiers, now the troops in Wang Ju's hands are mainly from the Guangnan West Road, and the salary is very high, and he will definitely not be able to pay such a salary in the future, so Wang Ju will combine the Tang Dynasty military system, the Tuntian system and Zheng Baiqu's Baojie military system.
In the future, Dali's garrison will still be dominated by the strength of Guangnan, and some cultivated land will be drawn from the surrounding areas of Shanxifu Zhenchi, so that the soldiers can implement the tuntian system, and the income from the tuntian will be owned by the soldiers, and then, like the Zhengbaiqu Baojie army, more than a dozen military salaries will be issued every year. In this way, it was possible to keep 50,000 or 60,000 Guangnan soldiers, and then divide the 50,000 or 60,000 Guangnan soldiers into three groups of rotations, with Jiaozhi in the south, Yongzhou and Guizhou in the east, and Dali in the west. At the same time, the Dali and Jiaozhi roads can maintain 5,000 to 10,000 native soldiers, which is enough to cope with various wars, and the border army with less expenditure of these tens of thousands of soldiers will not produce a huge burden by sharing these tens of thousands of troops by the three routes.
And there is no need to go through intensive training, and the strength is ready-made, and after pacifying Dali, the armies will be reduced, and an elite army can be produced.
However, there are still Wang Ju who did not write.
The two Gao Yang families are fighting each other, and with the arrival of Duan Zhengming's brothers, the strange goods are in their hands, and it is not difficult to destroy Dali.
However, it is not enough to defeat Dali, it has to be governed.
This process must be carried out with soldiers and with careful management, so it is necessary to have a person who is both civil and military to take charge of this difficult task.
Then there is no second choice except Zhang Qi.
And this time is relatively long, it may be three years, it may be five years, and only when Dali settles down can the official system that Duan Zhengming saw be officially implemented.
And if you want to govern it, you must implement the system of changing the land and returning to the river to the greatest extent, don't look at Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Shu, Meng Shu is also more loyal to Shu. If Shu does not perish, but after a long time, no one can guarantee that the descendants of Meng Shu will still be loyal to Shu. The Tang Dynasty's Nanzhao Mengshi is the best proof, Nanjiangman is also the best proof, and the same is true of Nong Zhigao.
Therefore, at least two-thirds of the areas in Dali must be reformed and returned, and without the constraints of the various barbarians, Dali can really be governed.
Therefore, it is also necessary for Zhang Kai to go south, and to give Zhang Kai power.
There are still some remaining measures, there is really no way to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream, they have to be divided and divided into various small tribes, so that even if there is a rebellion, the influence is not so great, and it is easier to pacify.
These were not written on this piece of paper, and after Wang Ju waited for him to read it, he said: "In addition to these measures, there are also your brothers. ”
"How does Shaobao settle our brother?" Duan Zhengming said bitterly.
"My first arrangement will be to ask Your Majesty to grant you the title of King of Dali, as for your younger brother. You can give the title of Duke of the country. and allowed to be hereditary. Of course, only one of your future children can be hereditary, and at the same time, you can go to the capital to meet Your Majesty in moderation. ”
It really doesn't matter what this audience is.
Although Song Taizu Song Taizong killed several emperors, but that was in the past, but now it is different, for example, the king of Champa was released. I heard that he also brought back a lot of gifts.
Besides, they are prisoners, what else can they expect?
Wang Ju continued: "In addition, I will rebuild a large mutual market here in Dongchuan County, Dashizi, you have also been to Guangnan, you should know the commercial tax system of Guangnan, one tax, one tax within the state, two taxes within the road, but in this mutual market, the tax is not three percent. Rather, it is taxed at 2 percent, and it is taxed at 1 percent. If the price of the goods levied exceeds 500,000 guan, it will go to the imperial court, and if it is within 500,000 guan, the management cost will be deducted, and the remaining income will be your income. ”
The tax rate of three percent, deducting the management costs, can also get seven or eight thousand.
However, Duan Zhengchun asked: "What if there are few commercial goods?" ”
This has to be made clear, don't let yourself pay out of your pocket to make up for it later, and you have the money to pay in advance?
"If not, I will give you at least 5,000 yuan a year as your income."
"Why?" Duan Zhengming asked puzzled.
"I hope that you will be a loyal county king to the Great Song Dynasty, and fifty years later, as your descendants increase, this upper limit will be one million tax income from merchants. If one million guan of commercial goods are traded, then your Duan clan can benefit more than ten thousand. ”
In fact, the real reason is not only to buy the hearts of the Duan family, but also to buy the hearts of the barbarians.
There are also many barbarians in Dongchuan County, and many tribes under Luzhou and Rongzhou are also mostly barbarians, and many tribes are relatively closed. And in order to use the cost of soldiers and save time, many tribes had to use the policy of appeasement, and it was still the Tusi system.
If this large-scale mutual market is under the banner of the Duan family, then there will be many barbarian exchanges that support the Duan family to trade.
As long as trade and trade are carried out and commercial goods circulate, not only will the lives of the people of all nationalities be changed, but the flow from north to south will also change the closed situation in some areas. Then the Bashu region will be closely linked with Dali in the future.
This Wang Ju can't say anything.
"As for the amount of goods you are worried about is insufficient, it is estimated that it will not appear, Dongchuan County is above Bashu, this transaction volume is very large, and the tax is reduced by nearly half, the future transaction limit here must be more than 500,000 guan, and 1 million guan is also possible. This is the second preferential condition, and the third, you see. ”
Wang Ju took out a map of Dali, which was marked in great detail, and even every mountain peak was marked.
Duan Zhengming's color changed, and everyone's intelligence was so developed, what else could Dali use to resist?
Wang Ju pointed to the three peaks on the edge of Ershui and the flat land below and said: "There are ten hectares of cultivated land here, and they will be used as your Duan family's Yongye Field, and there are some tea leaves on these three peaks, which will also be given to your Duan family as Yongye Field." Of course, you'll have to send the right people to manage it. ”
There is tea in Dali, but the current Pu'er tea is not well-known and the output is low, but if it is managed well, this industry will also bring a lot of income.
"So what are we going to do?" Duan Zhengming asked, he is not stupid, he has to pay for so many benefits.
"What you have to do is to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, moderately call on the people to obey the management of the imperial court, of course, as the highest ranking official in Dali in the future, the nominal leader, you can also put forward some suggestions to the imperial court, such as some officials do not do well, some policies are not appropriate, so that the people of Dali can live a better and more stable life. At the same time, if there is a large-scale event, you can also participate as the highest official, but one thing to remember is that you have the right to supervise, but you cannot really participate in the military and government affairs, not because you are not at ease, but because you are afraid that your descendants will have bad ideas. That's the only thing that is required of you. ”
"That's it?" Duan Zhengming was a little unconvinced.
"Dashizi, what do you think you are going to do?" Wang Judao, Duan's appeal is not as great as imagined, but it cannot be ignored, not only the current use of troops, but also the future governance and stability of people's hearts will also play a role, so Wang Jucai gave so many preferential conditions. He added, "But you'd better not go out during this time. ”
They have to be put under house arrest for the time being, but to make it clear. The Duan brothers will not be rejected in their hearts. Wang Ju said again: "It's a long journey. You've endured a lot of hardships, so go down and rest early. ”
Then arrange for people to let them go down and rest.
When they left, Wang Ju said to Huang Hua: "Brother Alcohol, look at this edict. ”
That is, Wang Ju put forward the idea of tourism.
The imperial court agreed to the suggestion of buying flying money, and also set up a flying money division in the capital, which was combined with the post superintendent, and there was an exchange system anyway, and the two did not conflict. And it is not the southern city that Wang Ju said, it has spread to all the commercial gates, and a total of 46 cities have purchased flying money.
Some ministers are clever and have calculated that if the measures are appropriate, they can collect more than one million or even more than two million yuan of income for the imperial court in a year.
So much income, not less.
But Wang Ju's other suggestions, the court did not mention them again.
Huang Hua said: "First, the ministers of the DPRK and China are worried that long-distance travel will be risky. Second, the imperial court is still mainly focused on accumulating wealth. ”
The reason why there is the idea of the Flying Money Division. It was Wang Ju who associated it with the tourism industry.
The reason why there is tourism is to improve the income of many backward areas in the south. Strengthen communication. And once it becomes popular, it will indeed feed many people.
Simple, all the way to eat, drink, wear, live and travel, this undoubtedly feeds a lot of people, and Wang Ju said, the attractions sell local handicrafts, watch the customs of the locals, and the tour guides, these miscellaneous together, feed a lot of people.
But the imperial court did not benefit much in the middle.
In addition, there is a risk, which is the reason why the imperial court did not approve it. Of course, Wang Ju sent people to organize it himself, and the imperial court would not object. However, if there is an accident in the future, the responsibility will be Wang Ju's, or Wang Ju's subordinates.
"It doesn't matter, it's too perfect, but it's easy for the monarch to be jealous." Wang Ju said self-deprecatingly.
Huang Hua wanted to persuade, but after thinking about it, if the Song Dynasty really couldn't tolerate Wang Ju and overseas, he didn't persuade him, but just said: "The imperial court is so wealthy, and if it goes on for a long time, there will be a serious shortage of currency." ”
Now how much the imperial court has a surplus in a year, Wang Ju is not very clear. But know that a surplus will be a staggering number.
These surpluses will be divided into three savings, one is grain, and there is a serious shortage of grain in each position, so the drought in the southeast led to a large number of people starving to death. Saving too much will inevitably bring heavy losses, but at least a part of it must be saved, so that no matter whether there is a disaster or the use of troops, there will be enough food in the treasury for disaster relief or military rations.
The second part is the precious goods, including spices, pearls and jade, which are mostly placed in the inner warehouse.
The third part is silk and money, silk generally does not save a lot, there is a shelf life, so once the surplus is large, copper coins and gold and silver must be reserved.
However, the Song Dynasty was seriously short of currency, and even if Wang Ju brought a large amount of copper from overseas, it was still insufficient. This will lead to further deterioration of the currency and hinder the circulation of commerce.
Wang Ju smiled and said, "No, the imperial court may use troops in Western Xia." ”
"With the Western Xia?"
"Li Bingchang is gradually coming of age, and the Liang family actually imprisoned his son in order to take power, and many people in the court thought that this was an opportunity."
"It seems like an opportunity."
"Not a chance! The imperial court underestimated the Western Xia, is it really that the Western Xia is so easy to destroy? If this were the case, I would not have let Han Yun work hard in Shaanxi for so many years. Compared with Western Xia, Dali was weak. "It's not that the people of Dali are not brave, but that the Western Xia is a real nomadic people, a real cavalry, and the cavalry in this era is undoubtedly the most invincible army. Once faced with the destruction of the country and the collapse of the family, it will fight back, and its combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.
"If it is reactive, the morale that has been accumulated with great difficulty will fall again." Huang Hua said worriedly.
"But the court didn't issue an edict to ask me, how do I get into the book?" Wang Judao.
And I don't know Wang Shao's current situation, and the south can't do without Zhang Ji, or let him lead the army to the west, but ask yourself, Wang Ju can't do it to destroy Western Xia immediately.
Except for these three, the others are worse.
Especially Wang Ju is far away in the south, so it is not easy to ask, so he silently said in his heart, little emperor, you must not be impulsive. (To be continued......)
