Shao Song

"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

Although many things happened in the seven years of Jianyan, even Zhao Guan's family was exhausted and sick because of the financial hole. But those things are more complicated affairs from the perspective of the ruler. At most, it makes the officials and the central officials feel hard, and makes the top powers feel panic.

For the vast majority of the people of the Song Dynasty south of the Yellow River, and even for a considerable number of grassroots officials, including the hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers, this year is undoubtedly a very relaxing and comfortable year.

Because there were no large-scale wars this year.

Putting aside the harassment on the border, the only place that can be called an organized battle is nothing more than the imperial navy with absolute water superiority. In the middle of the year, the exploratory Jin Guo navy fought on the Yellow River. After the autumn harvest, Li Yanxian, who was signaled, organized a force to go out of Zhongtiao Mountain and launched a tentative attack on Hezhongfu, a town controlled by the Jurchens. The momentum was strong, but after the Jurchen Taiyuan reinforcements arrived. Choose to retreat across the board and return without success.

However, these actions are not worth mentioning in comparison to the large-scale military dispatches of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in previous years, the military service of hundreds of thousands or millions of civilians, and thousands or tens of thousands of casualties.

In fact, apart from Di Bao, not many people really mentioned it.

Even Zhao Jiu himself knew that the purpose of fighting these two battles was more for the battle itself, to tell the people of the world that Song and Jin were still fighting, and Song and Jin were not at odds, and sooner or later they would fight over.

Then, according to the official’s intention, the fight will continue next year, and the scale and frequency will be increased.

Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, including a part of the imperial army in the middle of the army, must participate in the war in the Hezhong Mansion... Shanzhou is the only Hebei province that the Song Army has preserved in the Pinglu City and Zhongtiaoshan areas north of the Yellow River. Ministry, the status is as important as it is. As the first place of the Northern Expedition in the future, the Hezhong Mansion will be the first place for the Northern Expedition in the future. It must be as thorough as possible. The large-scale army can be proficient in communicating on the Yellow River with different river conditions. You need to be more skilled.

By the same token, there are many old roads in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River due to specific historical reasons... These old roads are certainly not as wide and unobstructed as the main road into the sea in Shandong, but the problem is that in the summer season, they still The passage of large ships is a natural way for the imperial navy to infiltrate the surrounding area of ​​the Daming Mansion. It is also a direct route for the imperial army and the right army to enter Hebei in the future. There is also no reason to abandon the competition for this complex water area.

In addition, although the imperial navy is a pioneer, it is only at the level of collecting sea ships and recruiting pirates. Like the pseudo-Qi maritime general Li Qi who was taken away by the Jurchen, it belongs to the level of a three-legged cat handing claws... For this reason, A small number of young officials who advocated the navy to scratch the tail of the Jurchen were also reprimanded by the chief executive.

Of course, because of a certain superstition developed by later generations, Zhao Jiu didn't say anything, but he firmly believed in his heart that with his own support and maritime policy, the imperial navy would grow rapidly and become another breakthrough point to the north. .

However, the same sentence... none of these can be changed, the fact that there was no major war in the entire Jianyan seven years.

Don't fight.

Then, although Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun kept making small movements with each other, they maintained and presented a stage that may have been the clearest and brightest of the Song Dynasty politics in the forty to fifty years.

Then it is naturally a waste of time, full of vitality.

Even the Zhao official family's action to accumulate military expenditures did not stop the revival of this elder empire in fact.

The political situation is becoming increasingly stable, production is gradually recovering, the population has begun to grow slightly, and the baby boom has begun to appear...Even Zhao Ding and Zhao Xianggong's son is said to have begun to look for a wife.

The speed and scale of this spontaneous healing behavior of the entire society far exceeds the estimates and judgments of politicians.

Before the government was too knowledgeable, when the Ministry of Households carried out the inspection in the second half of the year based on the rich financial vouchers it had formulated, it was shocked to find that the speed of financial recovery was still faster than expected.

Those collapsed porcelain kilns were rebuilt much faster than expected; the traffic hubs next to the burnt-down bazaars spontaneously formed small-scale trading grass markets; the cities that were originally slaughtered and burned quickly took a few years. After the peace, Luoyang and Nanjing (Shangqiu), which were originally white land, were the most obvious. In just a few years, they were restored to metropolises with a population of more than 100,000.

And there is no doubt that among them, Luoyang will continue to recover quickly, and the potential of this city is too great.

Moreover, the financial income shows that the new things that have emerged in many places were unexpected when they formulated this financial policy at the beginning of the year... Officials of the Ministry of Households expressed cautious optimism about the trade in the Western Regions, and the Lanzhou Market Existence is indeed within their consideration, but at the same time, they have no idea in Yinshan, they just regard it as a pure horse inflow point.

Think about it, the population is only one or two million...maybe there are not so many grasslands, no matter how large the area is, what can be said? Can the millions of acres of fertile land on the Xingling Plain be useful?

However, the facts have proved that the commercial tax collected at Keyi Gate this year is a huge and scary figure...The first half of the year is not obvious, and the second half of the year, the entire Kansai, Bashu, all kinds of strange Strange goods will pass north from here.

The few doctors and Yuanwailang who killed the Ministry of Households did not believe that they would eat so many exquisite porcelains and brocades in a place where a magnificent king could not even support dozens of his sons?

Even the tea and medicinal materials are a little too much.

Of course, everyone knows that it must have flowed into Jurchen's side... Some of the rich and powerful over there are gold and silver that have nowhere to spend. The so-called Mongolia is basically another Goryeo.

No, the Hebrekhan who was shaken by the Kingdom of Jin before finally sent his son, which was also related to the explosion of this business in the second half of the year.

And this unexpected trade route was undoubtedly a double-edged sword-Zhao Guanjia was wary of Hebrekhan because of his surname, and the Khitanese had their own judgment because of the geographical advantage of the Mongolian plateau. From the actions of Hebule, the officials keenly sensed the ambition and ambition of the first Khan king in Mongolian history that he did not know how to conceal.

However, for the moment, everything is for the Northern Expedition, and the first priority of the Northern Expedition is to make money... If everything must obey this overall situation, the court can only keep one eye open.

Who made Ningxia Road collect hundreds of thousands of commercial taxes in half a year?

A road that is relatively remote even in the northwest, and only one year after it has been handed in, the business tax is worth more than half of Jiangnanxi Road! And its location and the water conservancy system of the Xingling Plain make its grain destined to become the lowest-cost high-quality military ration supply point during the Northern Expedition... The destruction of Xixia and the establishment of Ningxia Road are far more than imagined for the great cause of the Northern Expedition. The effect is much greater.

Its help is all-round, not only military and geographical, but also economic, food, and even diplomatic functions.

Eight hundred and seventy-three thousand and one thousand, four hundred and twenty-seven pens and zero seventy-three texts.

This is the 7th year of Jianyan, and the total additional revenue from the original fiscal plan has been exceeded. It includes everything from stamp taxation to lottery tickets, to Zhaoguan’s selling flags, calligraphy and painting, and selling palaces, and after putting down his body and embarking on foreign trade. Results.

"wrong."

In the Chongwen Academy, Zhao Jiu, who was standing in front of the Secret Pavilion, turned around and shook his head and laughed at Lin Jingmo, the Shangshu Shangshu in front of him. "And the one million pennies I just blackmailed... Lin Qing shouldn't be counted in it yet."

Lin Jingmo's expression remained unchanged, but he immediately nodded in a dazed heart: "That's the way it is, is it just that the government's treasury bonds have been sold for a million?"

"Not bad." Zhao Jiu confronted the many important ministers in front of him and directly frankly in the Chongwen Academy. "In the beginning, I only prepared a share of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, and they were all for five years. But because many large amounts of treasury bonds have been bought here in Beijing, they were actually not selling well... But then someone asked Can you buy some for their mutual friends in Yangzhou? Originally, I wanted to be convenient for myself, so I just agreed. Who would have thought that his friends were so generous? They were all tens of thousands, tens of thousands. buy."

Lin Jingmo and the surrounding ministers were silent...The Queen Mother Yuanyou moved here, and it is estimated that she will spend the New Year on the road. After honoring the honor, she and the Ministry of Internal Attendant were dragged directly to the street by the royal squad and beheaded in public. Being ransacked and exiled... In this case, my friend in Yangzhou has never bought a large amount of national debt a few times, and of course he is generous.

but……

"But if you count it like that." Zhao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the blue sky in the winter morning. "It's only 9.13 million, or less than 10 million... Moreover, everything must be based on the basic principles. These people are willing to buy a large amount of national debt today, but they may not be willing to buy it next year. The same is true for Jingyuan's house. , This is all Bai Wanguan’s income."

"But things like sea trade, imprint taxation, and lottery tickets are growing steadily... Don't worry about officials." Zhang Jun, the chief minister, hurriedly comforted.

"That's right." Zhao Jiu immediately smiled at himself, the most confidant minister, under the expressionless gaze of many ministers.

However, there are always people who like to set up stalls. Just when Zhang Jun wants to talk again, Hu Yin, Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, couldn't bear it completely, and went straight forward to face the situation:

"Did the officials forget that many things this year were only implemented gradually from the middle of the year? The minister said that it is indeed impossible to have such a big gain in the next two years, such as Jingyuan, Haiqi, and royal auctions. As well as today’s large-amount national debt, such as million-dollar windfall ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it is impossible to be as smooth as this, but from the calculation of the whole year, it can definitely exceed tens of millions... Deaf and dumb?"

Everyone suddenly realized it, or many people pretended to realize it, but it was Zhao Ding's leadership and one after another in congratulations.

And Zhao Guan’s finally revealed a face that looked like a villain, and he rarely smiled in the audience, and then waved his hand in response:

"I almost forgot that this was the result of half a year... But in any case, this is the result of your hard work and your credit. Only for the next two years, you will have to work hard to continue to tighten your belts with me. "

As soon as this statement was made, the countless civil and military officials gathered in this Chongwen Academy only felt that a year of hard work had not been wasted, but they did not dare to neglect, but they bowed their heads in response.

"Let's go!"

Official Zhao's family finally stopped pretending, but walked past the ministers and officials directly with their hands. "Today in Taixue, I confessed things to the world, and this year is really fine...everyone is the last day of hard work. Go back and have a good New Year."

Everyone responded with a bang, but they followed Zhao Guan’s family out of the Chongwen Academy, went to Xuandemen, and then set up a guard of honor, and went to Taixue along the imperial street in a mighty manner... It turns out that today is indeed the last of the year. The day of a big event is also a classic of too learned politics.

After today, whether it was up or down in the previous year, whether it was gains or losses, it was finally possible to leave it temporarily...because it is as the official said, for this year alone, it is nothing.

PS: Thank you for your cuteness in the second middle school of Linghu, and the top ten brothers of the second middle school of Linghu, and thank you for the cuteness of the submarine street master, and you for my bad writing. Also ally with the boss's Shang Meng...

I wish you all a Happy New Year!
