Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The business tax of ten out of two is not too much, right?

The commercial tax for commercial maritime merchants can draw another nearly 50 guan each year.

Half of them are sold in the Central Plains, which can be cheaper.

Calculated at half the price, earning 100 million guan a year, plus a tax of 20 guan.

The total income is nearly 400 million guan.

Liaodong's military expenditure will come out?

In addition, a large number of tea gardens are being planted in the southeast roads and Sichuan and Shu areas.

In a few years, the income from tea alone may be at least 1000 million per year.

If the transformation of rice into mulberry in the southeast is also completed, the annual income of silk and ceramics exported overseas and sold domestically can also exceed 1000 million guan.

With such a huge industry as the backing support, what else can Zhao Ning do?

Of course, throwing money to the north!

Use money to bring Yanyun and Xixia back!

Use money to bring back the Western Regions!

Use money to transfer a large number of people there and let the Han people settle there!

These all cost money!

If you want to occupy temporarily, you only need a strong army, but if you want to integrate those places for a long time, you must have strong financial support.

This is Zhao Ning's game of chess.

Of course, to achieve an annual income of more than 1000 million yuan from tea, silk, ceramics, etc., the pure overseas market is definitely not enough.

The overseas unit price is high, but the demand is limited.

In the domestic market, the demand is extremely huge, but now most ordinary people have no money to consume.

No money to spend?

Then find a way to make them rich!

there is always a solution to a problem!

Problems are solved one by one.

Zhao Ning was thinking in his mind, and seeing that everyone was silent, he said: "Let's stop here for the matter of the Southwest, and for the matter of the treasury, Mei Shangshu will have a solution."

After speaking, Zhao Ning got up and left.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The officials came out from the main hall, and many people came to Zhao Ding and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao, the great victory in the Southwest, Mr. Zhao has made another great contribution!"

"Your Majesty has a virtuous prime minister like the Great Minister, it is really a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ding said: "Everyone praises me too much."

Wang Ciweng came over and said, "Grand Minister, those who opposed the crusade against Dali before, I believe that they have ulterior motives, and they should be investigated!"

When he said this, the ears of the people around him immediately perked up.

Zhao Ding said: "To oppose is not necessarily wrong, and to praise is not necessarily right."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Wang Ciweng.

Cai Mao sneered at the side, and said in his heart: Wang Ciweng, a villain, actually wants to trick Zhao Ding. No matter what level he is, he dares to play such a trick in front of Zhao Ding. It is really because Zhao Ding has a public heart, otherwise you Wang Ciweng Get out early!

In any case, the first victory in Dali, for Zhao Ning, the pressure is much less.

Next, Dali's control space is much more flexible.

Zhao Ning guessed in his heart that if there were no accidents, the Dali Kingdom would send envoys here soon, and even the envoys were already on their way.

What will Zhao Ning do next?

What else can I do?

Zhao Ning sat in the Hall of Wende and counted with his fingers. The policies of Qin Hui and Qian Yuqing should have almost paid off.

Things like mulberry seedlings can grow mulberry leaves in a few months.

How many fields have been changed and how many mulberry leaves have grown can be seen with the naked eye.

Of course, after three years, it will be transplanted to another place and become a mulberry tree, so that's another matter.

Now the first step is to change out of Sang Tian.

As for the food in Jiangning Mansion, Zhao Ning is not worried. He has arranged for Tang Ke to be dispatched from Jinghu this year, and it is nothing more than going down the river.

While Zhao Ning was thinking, Wang Huaiji said at the door: "Officials, there is a secret report from Jiangdong."

"Oh, bring it in."

Zhao Ning cut open the seal with a dagger and took out Li Guang's melody.

After reading it, he froze for a moment, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Qin Hui is still difficult to deal with, this guy's political skills are quite powerful.

The Qingzhou case did not catch his tail, and this time Jiangdong changed rice to mulberry, and the matter of grabbing grain did not catch his tail either.

Why can't Qin Hui's tail be caught in the matter of grabbing food?

Because it is impossible for Qin Hui to participate in this matter, he is not that stupid.

If the imperial court finds out, Qin Hui will definitely start a massacre in Jiangdong immediately, pretending that he just found out, and find some scapegoats to kill.

Then he wrote an apology and came back, saying that it was his own negligence, and asked the Zhao official family to dismiss his official.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the emperor's intelligence is normal, his officials will not be dismissed.

why?

If the people below immediately dismiss the Zaizhi as soon as they do something, then each Zaizhi will basically step down if he can't sit still for a month.

That will cause a political disaster in the Song Dynasty.

Why did Chongzhen change more than 17 chief assistants in just [-] years?

Is he stupid?

That's right!He is indeed stupid!

As soon as there is a problem, the chief assistant and the governors are immediately operated on.

Such an emperor could easily be led by the nose by others.

The prep of the first assistant only needs to spend some money, bribe the subordinates, mess things up, and let the emperor replace the first assistant.

The consequence of this is that the prime ministers who assist the king dare not do things boldly anymore, and just want to protect themselves wisely.

Therefore, Zhao Ning will not dismiss Qin Hui just because of the food robbery case.

However, the crux of the matter is not the grain robbery case.

But another very important thing.

In the evening, Wang Boyan arrived at Mei Zhili's residence.

Mei Zhili showed Li Guang's letter to Wang Boyan.

Li Guang's letter to Mei Zhili was very tactful, and naturally he would not point out Jiangdong's problems as sharply as he reported to Zhao Guanjia.

However, just the grain robbery case allowed Wang Boyan to capture important information.

Before dark, Mei Zhili, who had been ill for a long time, suddenly became radiant, dressed in official uniform, entered the palace, and asked His Majesty to see him.

Chapter 831 Falling Qin? (first update)

Zhao Ning was about to wash up and go to Zhu Lian for a drink and talk about Qiuyue, but he didn't expect that strange old man Mei Zhili to come suddenly.

To be honest, Zhao Ning doesn't want to see this guy now.

I'm not a robot, I only know business.

I also want to have a little personal life!

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Is Mei Shangshu feeling better?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your pity, the minister is much better."

"Come to me so late, what's the important thing, let me put it simply."

"Your Majesty, the national treasury has been strained recently, and the cost still needs to be adjusted."

"Oh, how to adjust?" Zhao Ning's heart moved slightly.

"I have made a calculation here, please look it over, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning took it and looked carefully.

The Zhao family has always been loyal to finances, and they are very concerned about Mei Zhili's various financial reports.

Mei Zhili lived up to the great trust of the Zhao family, and all the finances that came up were divided according to the key points, which was often clear at a glance.

Those who are more detailed will go to the Zhengshitang, and the chief executives will figure it out.

"Is the treasury empty?"

"This year, the salary can barely be paid out, and Yue Fei's military expenditure can barely support it, but if there is another war in the north, he must use a compromise method to exchange it. This is an overdraft of the future. There are too many variables in the future, so it is not advisable."

Zhao Ning looked at it and said, "You mean to suspend the allocation of funds for converting rice to mulberry in Jiangdong?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Tell me your reasons."

"Qin Hui's policy has no effect."

Zhao Ning was keenly aware that Mei Zhili might have some information.

Mei Zhili is in finance, he is a very cautious person.

Be more cautious in your actions and more cautious in your words.

An imprudent person cannot do financial work.

If he didn't have some information, he wouldn't be so sure to say this sentence.

Zhao Ning pretended to be surprised and asked, "How do you say that?"

"I heard that in Jiangdong, some people robbed the people's food in the name of the New Deal. Qin Hui's policy gave too many opportunities to corrupt officials!"

"There is such a thing?" Zhao Guanjia's calm tone was slightly surprised.

"Yes."

"How do you know?"

"It was mentioned by the local Ministry of Human Resources and Human Resources when collecting rent for this autumn."

Zhao Ning immediately knew that Mei Zhili was lying.

Mei Zhili is a straightforward person, he will not lie if he concentrates on managing finances!

But Zhao Ning didn't ask in detail, he probably guessed who wrote to Mei Zhili.

It seems that Li Guang has made a move.

Moreover, when Li Guang wrote a letter to Mei Zhili, he undoubtedly found the right person.

Mei Zhili has always been reluctant to allocate funds to Qin Hui. If the national policy of changing rice to mulberry hadn't been set very high, Mei Zhili would definitely delay on purpose.

What is the most painful thing for Mei Zhili?

He hates Qin Hui?

No!He hates no one!

In his eyes, as the Minister of the Household Department, he only cares about clearing the accounts for Zhao Guan's family.

How Qin Hui formed a clique for personal gain, how impartial and selfless Zhao Ding was, how arrogant and domineering Lu Yihao is now, and how slippery Cai Mao is, all have nothing to do with him.

Then why did he stab Qin Hui at this time?
