Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Your Majesty forgive me, my lord..."

"You don't have to say these useless things in front of me. No one is really selfless. If you want to do something, you must have your own people." Zhao Ning said, "One who is selfless can't accomplish great things!"

"Your Majesty's instruction is correct."

The next day, Lu Yihao took up his post and entered Zuo Pu's shooting hall, replacing He Li's original position.

After he took office, the first thing he did was to approve Zhang Jiuzheng's declaration of "Payment of Banknotes and Salaries by the Official Road in Hedong" submitted by Zhang Jiuzheng, and he highly affirmed the declaration.

No one expected that the first thing Lu Yihao did when he took office was to fully support Zhang Jiuzheng's controversial proposal.

This thing is still going on.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is already the 25th of the first lunar month.

On this day, Shangshu Youcheng Qin Hui finally returned to the capital from Liaodong.

As soon as Qin Hui crossed the Yellow River, many people went to meet him and wash him off.

Some people even cried bitterly: Mr. Qin, you are finally back!

Qin Hui looked kindly, comforting everyone.

Qin Hui refused all banquets and all business discussions.

Over the past year, his knowledge of the capital is limited to some letterheads.

That's extremely limited.

Qin Hui is not a frivolous person, many changes have taken place in the capital, he needs someone to explain the current situation to him in detail.

In the evening, Qin Hui arrived at home.

Wang Shi had already been waiting for him at the door, and seeing her husband come back, Wang Shi showed a long-lost smile.

"You are finally back."

"Is my beloved alright?"

"Without you, nothing is good."

"This year, you have worked hard."

"Come inside, please."

Wang ordered people to prepare Qin Hui's favorite cakes, tea, and wine.

Qin Hui first talked about some interesting things in Liaodong and Korea, and the husband and wife chatted happily.

"Sir, what happened to the capital during the past year or so since I left?"

"Nothing happened, but Zhang Jun was dismissed from office, and He Li was dismissed from office." Wang sighed, "Lu Yihao is now the left minister, the court has begun to cultivate official ways, Qian Yu Qingfeng is flourishing, and Yue Fei has become a street hero. Lane talks about heroes."

When Wang said these words, she seemed to be saying: We have been left out.

Qin Hui said calmly, "Don't be discouraged, I'm back now?"

"I've been thinking, why did the officials let you go to Liaodong and Korea? Could it be that the officials are trying to alienate you?"

"No, the situation in Liaodong is indeed very complicated. Do you think the officials are really at ease with Han Shizhong?" Qin Hui said, "You know very little about the emperor's mind. Don't look at what the emperor said to you. Think about it." What he didn't say."

"You mean, His Majesty has doubts about Han Shizhong?"

"There are some words that can only be understood but not expressed." Qin Hui smiled, "I can help His Majesty solve things that other people cannot solve. Why do you think His Majesty neglected me?"

"Lu Yihao and the others have also entered the court, Qian Yuqing is quite favored, and Yue Fei is even more likely to enter the military and political academy."

"Lu Yihao is domineering, Qian Yuqing is a foreign relative, and Yue Fei is a warrior. They each have their own advantages, but can they help the government solve the new agricultural policy? Can they help the government solve the problem of changing rice into mulberry? Get rid of all kinds of New Deal opponents in private? Do they have the strength?"

"That……"

"I know that countless people are staring at my position, and I also know that the officials are guarding me, so what?" Qin Hui said lightly, "Do you think that the relationship between monarchs and ministers depends on pure friendship?"

Wang has nothing to say.

"As long as I'm still useful, the officials won't touch me, because what I do, ordinary people can't do."

"What if one day I don't need you anymore?"

"You mean if the world is peaceful one day?"

"It's not impossible."

Qin Hui laughed loudly: "You sit at home and think that the world is peaceful anytime and anywhere, but if you go to the court, you can personally feel that the struggle between life and death exists every moment, and there will always be people who oppose it."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and I will see you."

Early in the morning on the 26th of the first lunar month, Zhao Ning received two important pieces of information.

One is from Liaodong, and the current situation is temporarily under control.

As long as it is within the controllable range, Zhao Ning feels that as long as resources are added, the situation can be gradually stabilized.

It's not a big deal.

One is of course an urgent report sent from Dali.

It was sent by Zhang Bangchang.

This is what Zhao Ning is most concerned about at present.

If the Dali Kingdom is defeated, the benefits can be seen immediately.

Seeing Zhang Bangchang's letter, Gao's blatant confrontation with Da Song, Zhao Ning was not only not angry, but secretly laughed.

"Officials, Mr. Qin is here."

"Oh, let him in."

Not long after, Qin Hui came in.

Zhao Ning walked over with a look of excitement, held Qin Hui's hand, and said, "Let me take a good look, my Mr. Qin, has lost weight!"

"Being able to share worries for His Majesty, no matter how hard or tired I am, I am happy in my heart."

"It's been more than a year, thank you for your hard work." Zhao Ning sighed, "I miss you all the time!"

"I also miss His Majesty day and night. When I think of His Majesty's national affairs, I can't be around to share His Majesty's worries. My heart is like a thousand arrows piercing my heart."

Chapter 805 The establishment of the macro-control industry in the Great Song Dynasty (first update)

Next, the monarch and his ministers had a long talk.

Qin Hui mainly detailed his affairs in Korea.

Of course, the language of masters is always full of art.

Those that are not visible can be automatically omitted.

In other words, even if it is mentioned, it can be stated from another angle using rhetorical techniques.

Zhao Ning, on the other hand, listened carefully and gave affirmative appreciation from time to time.

The monarch and his ministers looked like confidants.

After talking for a while, Zhao Ning changed the subject and asked, "What do you think will happen to the situation in Liaodong?"

Qin Hui said: "All Liaodong soldiers love Han Duhu. With Han Shizhong around, it is absolutely impossible for the Jin army to take Fuzhou."

Qin Hui avoided talking about the court's support, but emphasized that the Liaodong soldiers loved Han Shizhong, highlighting Han Shizhong's personal prestige.

And this sentence is true, there is no false element.

This seems to be praising Han Shizhong, but it is actually telling Zhao Guanjia that Han Shizhong is now in control of the Liaodong military, and he seems to be a feudal town.

This is really the art of speaking.

In fact, the main premise now is that Han Shizhong must have the support of the imperial court in order to continue to defend Liaodong.

It is easy to bluff people by saying a truth out of context to achieve one's own goals.

"It's good if you can hold it. I just want to open up a big battlefield in Liaodong."

Zhao Ning also did not express his views on Han Shizhong.

Qin Hui was not surprised at all, His Majesty the Emperor would not express something lightly, he just had to let the wind blow to him, as His Majesty was suspicious, some ideas would come to his mind.

After continuous accumulation, it will finally explode one day.

Qin Hui deeply understands this truth, so he is not in a hurry.

"What do you think of Zhang Jiucheng's "Hedong Official Road Paying Banknotes and Salaries"?"

"This is a good thing." Qin Hui answered after pretending to think, "This is robbing the rich and helping the poor, but..."

"But what?"

"However, the pace of changing rice to mulberry in the southeast has to be accelerated, otherwise once excessive banknotes are issued and commodities are insufficient, prices will skyrocket."

"I've been thinking about the point you mentioned recently."

"I dare to say bluntly that this matter is already related to the foundation of the country, there should be no further delay, and we should act immediately."

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"I am willing to go to Jiangdong in person and preside over the matters related to Jiangning Mansion first."

"How do you manage it?" Zhao Ning asked, "This matter involves the livelihood of countless farmers. The growth period of mulberry seedlings generally takes three years. If ordinary people are asked to change rice fields into mulberry fields, there will be no output in the past few years, and they will be sold." Without money, what do they eat?"

Qin Hui said: "Give encouragement fees, set aside an area, and let some people change the rice fields into mulberry gardens, plant ramie, or tea. The annual harvest of one mu of land in Jiangdong is about three stones, and the compensation per mu is based on the grain price in Jiangdong. As always, until the mulberry trees start to produce after three years, as long as the mulberry trees are mature, the selling price will definitely be more than that of rice, so the farmers are willing."

"How much compensation do you need?" Zhao Ning asked calmly.

"I have learned that about 800 mulberry plants can be planted in one mu of land. After the seedling stage, one mulberry seedling can be sold for 20 yuan, that is, one mu of mulberry seedlings can be sold for 16 mulberry seedlings. If there are three If one (one-third) necrosis occurs, there will still be an income of 10 grains, 10 grains for three years, about 3 grains per year, which is at least double that of growing grain."

Qin Hui's mind was spinning rapidly.

Obviously, Qin Hui has already done enough preparations for changing rice to mulberry, and is just waiting for this day.

Qin Hui added: "If the mulberry farmers can find a way to grow more varieties per mu of land, the harvest will be even greater."

There must be a way to make more varieties. As long as there is profit to be made, someone will find a way to increase production.

Qin Hui continued: "The income of mulberry farmers doubled, the number of mulberry trees increased, the number of silkworm farmers increased, and the number of textile factories increased. It flows to textile mills, silkworm farmers, and mulberry farmers, which is a line of interest that can benefit many parties.”

Zhao Ning couldn't help feeling that Qin Hui was so smart.

This is actually the prototype of Keynesianism. Through macro-control, the currency released to the private sector can flow healthily and stimulate the construction of industries.

In fact, Zhao Ning has written related cases and models in his "The Wealth of Nations".

But well, books are books, and actual cases are actual cases.

Up to now, there are still many officials who have only memorized "The Wealth of Nations", but they can't integrate it with actual cases.

But Qin Hui already had a deep understanding.

This is the gap between people.

"Of course, if you sell the cloth and silk from Jiangdong Textile Factory overseas, the profit will be higher."

Zhao Ning thought for a while and said: "According to your statement, if 50 mu of land is to be mined, the imperial court will have to make up 50 mu of land every year?

"Yes, the subsidy is 150 million in three years, but 50 mu of mulberry fields can produce 4 million mulberry seedlings, which can be sold for 80 billion yuan. The tax for mulberry farmers can receive 8 million yuan, and the tax for adopting silkworms is at least To be able to receive this amount, the tax collection of textile factories is at least 10 billion renminbi, and the collection of cloth stores is at least 10 billion renminbi. If this production line is set up, the tax collection in three years can be 36 guan, an average of 12 guan per year."

Zhao Ning nodded.

However, there are gaps in some places. For example, mulberry farmers will not sell all mulberry seedlings, but will continue to plant them.

But this is not a conflict. If you continue to plant, the mulberry farmers will have to pay taxes if they sell mulberry leaves.

Qin Hui continued: "Mature mulberry trees can be supported for at least 10 years, and the production will increase every year. The tax collected every year will only be higher than 12 guan. Received 10 million guan.”

In other words, according to Qin Hui's method, the payback period is 13 years.

Judging from the time dimension of the national grand strategy, paying back the capital in 13 years is considered a normal investment.

After all, it can stimulate such a large industry and solve the employment problem of a considerable number of people.

Once people in this industrial chain have income, they will also consume other commodities, such as tea.

If Zhao Ning takes Dali down and transports 500 million catties of tea from Dali to the Central Plains for sale every year, more people will be able to afford tea, which will also increase the income of the court.

Therefore, it is very effective to do so on the basis of the profit balance of the industrial chain.

At least initially.
