A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Most of the money in the palace came from contributions from various places, which was the financial structure of the Song Dynasty.

But now, the palace's income is divided into two parts, one is the contribution from various places, and the other is the royal family's dividends from the secret fragrance business.

These funds are stored in the internal storage. If you need to use them, just go and get them.

In the past, the Song Dynasty was severely harmed by Emperor Zhenzong. The treasury that was originally full gradually became empty, and he used it all to sacrifice to heaven and earth, ancestors, and ghosts and gods.

During the reign of the late Emperor Zhao Zhen, the finances of the Song Dynasty began to deteriorate, so the prime ministers and ministers turned their attention to the small treasury of the official family.

The official family, there is a famine here, an earthquake here... there is no money!

Zhao Zhen is a soft-hearted person and has no independent opinions, so he frequently opens his small treasury and lets the government use it for his own purposes.

It can be said that money has been spent in these years!

Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought about this.

After he ascended the throne, the finances were already...According to the guard of the Neizangku: Not even mice come to the Neijangku now.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty's finances continued to improve, and Anxiang's dividends also gave him the confidence to resume the emperor's spending scale.

But now a corruption scandal broke out in the internal affairs procurement. Cui Hao made a start, and those officials who opposed the New Deal found a treasure and launched impeachments one after another.

This evil wind is blowing very strongly!

When Wang Anshi saw that Zhao Shu was silent, he continued: "Officials, palace purchases... I'd like to say it bluntly, those in charge don't know that people outside are sinister. Even if they are not corrupt, they can still be easily deceived.

The inner treasury belongs to the palace, and no one can touch it. "

This nature must be clarified, otherwise it will be suspected of forcing the uterus.

"But how can we make good use of the money in the internal treasury? I think it is worth discussing."

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "If it is handed over to the bank, I can guarantee that the purchase price will definitely come down, and it will come down a lot."

Um?

Zhao Shu was startled, "How do you say this?"

He was afraid of poverty, so he wanted to save whatever he could, and he would find ways to open source whatever he could. For this reason, some people outside laughed at him, saying that this official was just a businessman.

A businessman is a businessman. Looking back at the wives and children in the harem and the maids in the harem, many people are counting on him to support them. If they want face, they will not have a good life. He knows this very well.

So Wang Anshi said he could save a lot, and he was immediately moved.

Wang Anshi couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Wang Yu analyzed it last night. No amount of kindness can impress the officials. The only way is benefits.

My son is so smart that I feel so miserable.

He cheered up, "The bank's review of loans means dealing with people. No one can escape their interrogation several times. The Third Division knows this best. Remember a while ago, the Third Division purchased a batch of large cars, and the result was that The people at the bank discovered the problem during the review and immediately lowered the price by 20%. Prime Minister Han of the Third Division..."

This was a scandal of the Third Division, but at this moment Wang Anshi cited it as an example.

Sansi has been having a hard time recently. After being deprived of his money bag, he seems to have lost his energy and energy. This is also a problem if he doesn't buy. Fortunately, the bank found something fishy during the audit, so he didn't lose his face to Jiaozhi.

"Yes." Han Jiang came out of work to testify.

Wang Anshi knew that he had exposed Han Jiang's scars, but he couldn't care less.

"Your Majesty, 20%!"

Wang Yu said that this official's life was full of ups and downs, which also created his sensitive temperament. What he loved most was money.

And he didn't know the underlying reason, only Shen An knew.

——The official family lacks a sense of security!

Money and the military can best bring people a sense of security. Therefore, Zhao Shu never misses the opportunity to make money. This is the biggest boost of the New Deal. And every innovation in the army is inseparable from the support of this insecure emperor.

He hoped that the army would continue to grow stronger to protect the Song Dynasty and his emperor.

This is the cause and motivation of everything. If you want to be rich and have a strong army, you must reform the Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, how could there be an emperor who would go all the way to the dark side for the New Deal?

Wang Anshi glanced at Zhao Shu quietly and saw that he was deep in thought, playing the five fingers of his right hand on his thigh, and felt a little unsure.

Zhao Shu suddenly raised his head and said, "Let Tang Ren come."

Is this exciting?

Han Qi and others looked at Wang Anshi with unstoppable joy.

Lao Wang, if this can be accomplished, you will be the first to achieve success!

What do ministers fear most about the emperor?

The most fearful thing is that the emperor is fatuous.

The common characteristic of all mediocre emperors is that they spend money indiscriminately.

Emperor Zhenzong became mediocre in the later period, spending money like water, leaving people helpless.

The dilemma of the Song Dynasty is closely related to this emperor. It can also be said that the decline of the Song Dynasty began with Emperor Zhenzong. His mediocrity led to a series of problems, and Zhao Zhen and subsequent emperors noticed these problems, and then began to innovate...

The continuous failure of reform dealt a heavy blow to the Song Dynasty, which continued to slide into the abyss, and even caused conflicts between the government and the opposition until it was hopeless.

Therefore, if the money from the internal treasury could be brought into the bank and the bank could be responsible for the expenses of the palace, it would be difficult for the emperor to be stupid.

If you want to buy it, you can, the bank will buy it for you.

If you want to play the Hua Shi Gang, the Birthday Gang... the Chrysanthemum Gang, you have to spend money indiscriminately. At this time, unless the court is full of mediocre officials, they will naturally join forces with the bank to intercept these expenses.

This is a constraint, the biggest constraint on the emperor.

Later Tang Ren came and Zhao Shu asked, "How much do you think you can save if the bank controls the palace's purchases?"

As he spoke, he looked at the chamberlain who accompanied Tang Ren.

The waiter shook his head slightly, indicating that no one had communicated this matter with Tang Ren.

Zhao Shu smiled slightly, thinking that if you want to restrict my spending, you can do it, but it must be beneficial, otherwise why should I not feel comfortable spending money?

Tang Ren thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers, "Your Majesty, 30%!"

hiss……

There was a gasp in the court, and even the ministers were shocked.

"Thirty percent?"

Han Qi felt that Tang Ren had drunk too much, "Are you sure it can be 30% lower?"

"Yes." Tang Ren was still confident.

He glanced at Zhao Xu without any trace, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

They had been preparing for this day for a long time. From proposing this plan to looking for opportunities, they were constantly improving their ideas.

Now the time has come.

"How?" Zhao Shu sneered: "If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

Tang Ren said without hesitation: "If something goes wrong, I am willing to make up for it."

"You?" Zhao Shu wanted to scold him, but when he thought of Shen An's huge net worth, his heart moved slightly and he said, "Tell me about it."

"Yes." Tang Ren said: "The palace purchases are just a piece of fat meat to outside merchants. Every year when the contributions from various places arrive, the palace will sell what is not needed. From then on, corruption has followed."

The court designated places to provide tributes to the royal family every year. These tributes may be tea or writing brushes.

Naturally, the palace could not use so much of these things, so the excess was sold in Bianliang, and the money obtained was deposited in the inner treasure treasury. This was also the largest source of money for the inner treasure trove.

"Those merchants and the officials and servants in charge of sales colluded with each other to lower the price of the goods. This alone caused His Majesty a lot of losses."

Zhao Shu took a deep breath and reminded himself not to get angry.

"When the palace needs other goods, they will still collude with outside merchants. It's just normal to pass off shoddy goods. There are also those who inflate the prices. If you calculate it inside and out, the money lost every year due to purchasing is really not a small amount. number."

"Ahem!" Wang Anshi coughed dryly, reminding Tang Ren to pay attention to the official's livid face.

"Is there not a good person in the palace?" Zhao Shu had a suspicious temper. When Tang Ren said this, he instantly felt that there were thieves all around him.

Chen Zhongheng looked at him inexplicably, feeling that his eyes were cold and murderous.

"Of course there is." Tang Ren said: "But good people can't resist temptation. A person is loyal, but when the money and benefits are unsupervised, he can resist corruption, but this patience How long can it last?

When experiencing these temptations every day, one year, two years... or ten years? "

Tang Ren said: "The only things that can wear away the will are time and temptation. This is what Shen Longtu said, and I deeply believe it. And the only thing that can suppress these shortcomings is a reasonable system, such as a bank... The purchasing process of the bank is by With multi-party supervision, no one can try to cover up the whole situation with one hand, so this time the problems were discovered during this kind of supervision.”

Tang Ren cupped his hands and stepped back.

Zhao Shu was deep in thought.

"The only things that can wear away one's will are time and temptation..." Zhao Shu was thinking of the late emperor.

The same is true for Han Qi.

Zhao Zhen was so impatient and high-spirited back then. He summoned Han Qi and others to write about the problems of the Song Dynasty, and then asked them to propose innovative plans...

"Your Majesty, if I keep a pile of gold and silver every day without supervision, it will be fine for a year or two. As time goes by, I will ask myself, I am afraid I will not be able to help taking some. If no one cares, then... Get more.”

Han Qi's frankness won Zhao Shu's favor. He nodded and said: "There is no temptation to monitor... I understand."

"The supervisor in the palace...Chen Zhongheng."

Chen Zhongheng left his shift and said, "Your Majesty, the supervisors in the palace...how do those people know what's going on outside?"

This is a vague statement, but the deeper level is the greed of the chamberlain.

Chamberlains have nothing to do and don't like many things. Money and power are their true love.

So when they have the opportunity to touch money, it would be damned if they don't do it.

Zhao Shu said calmly: "In other words, I see those people being corrupt every day but don't know it?"

"I will die."

Chen Zhongheng felt that he was wronged, but he still had to kneel down to apologize.

Zhao Shu said calmly: "Check!"

"Yes. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net"

Chen Zhongheng took over the job.

But what about purchasing?

Zhao Shu stood up and said: "It just so happens that the palace is going to buy a batch of things. Let's try it at the bank."

"yes!"

Tang Ren was overjoyed. He knew that once the palace purchases were attributed to the bank, there would be countless benefits, the biggest of which was that the bank's status would be improved.

The money bag of Da Song Dynasty is worthy of its name!
