Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Since you agree with this, look around here. Only now more than 1 mu of land has been sold, and Tokyo City only covers an area of ​​100 mu. When there were 200 million people, Tokyo City was already very crowded. Now There are already 70 million people." Wang Zonglin's brain turned quickly, "I think it is more appropriate to accommodate 350 people on 35 mu of land, and 26 million people, at least [-] mu of land, that is, there are still [-] mu of land Can come up with extensions, of course, I don't think that's enough."

Qian Yuqing smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know how big Tang Chang'an is?"

"I know, 13 mu."

"Then do you think we can build a big city of 35 mu?"

"There is no problem at all. The civil and martial arts of the officials have surpassed all dynasties. No emperor can compare with today's officials."

Wang Zonglian sold the land, sold the new skills, and learned to flatter just like Gao Qi.

Qian Yuqing said: "Let's not talk about how much wood is needed to build such a huge city, but how much government officials are needed to maintain law and order? How to control it efficiently?"

"This……"

"You also know that the more yamen established in Taifu Temple, the more troublesome it is for you to manage, the greater the chance of making mistakes, and the easier it is for problems. Once there are more problems, the originally good part will become bad. gone."

"This..." Wang Zonglin wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Zhao Ning didn't speak, he just stood by and watched the two discuss.

He was in favor of Qian Yuqing.

It is impossible to expand indefinitely. Selling land can really solve all problems. If there is any tax collection in the future, we can just sell the land directly.

There is a limit to the scale of the city, and under the background of the ancient times when productivity was underdeveloped, this limit will be touched soon.

Wang Zongyi came back to his senses and said, "So, the Zhengshitang has planned 35 mu of land?"

"It's almost this number, which is very troublesome. The collection of feces in the city, the regular drainage, the ratio of public security, and the distribution of food supply all need to be carefully considered." Qian Yuqing said.

"35 mu, which is equivalent to the size of three Tang Chang'an cities." Zhao Ning asked with concern, "Can it be handled?"

"It should be possible, but no more."

"Then there are still 26 mu to sell, 7800 guan for one mu, 2000 million guan!" Zhao Ning nodded, "Daming Mansion, Yingtian Mansion and Henan Mansion can be sold for [-] guan each, and I'm satisfied."

Add up to 1.38 million strings.

enough.

Qian Yuqing said: "But the biggest uncertainty in this matter is whether the home buyer can repay the loan on time every month after taking out the loan."

"How did you discuss this matter?"

"The identity of the buyer is screened before buying the house. Only those with stable income are eligible to enter the next step." Qian Yuqing said, "If there is an accident and the buyer cannot repay the mortgage, the bank can repossess the house. , conduct an auction to fill up the remaining amount owed to the bank.”

Wang Zonglin said: "Unexpectedly, you are more ruthless than me!"

Qian Yuqing said: "This is the result of discussions between the ministers of the Zhengshitang and the household department."

"I can't tell, Zhao Ding is also a profiteer!" Wang Zonglin joked.

"No, the reason for making this rule is to hope that when the home buyer cannot repay the mortgage, they will sell the house as soon as possible. Otherwise, everything will be concentrated in the bank and the household department, and the government will not be able to handle it at all."

Making a rule is often not really for punishment, but for prevention.

"Okay, I know about this matter." Zhao Ning said, "I am generally satisfied with the discussion in the Zhengshitang, but there is one more thing that has not been brought up."

"I don't know what's going on?" Qian Yuqing said.

"You want to prevent home buyers from not repaying the mortgage, but if a normal person has gone through layers of screening, meets the loan conditions, repays for a period of time, and fails to repay, he can only sell the house, and may temporarily sell it at a loss."

"Yes, it's better than holding it in your hand and not being able to pay it back."

"Since everyone has chosen to buy a house, no one will deliberately refuse to pay it back. The only reason may be family changes. In the future, most house buyers may be ordinary people. They have worked hard to earn some money and bought a house. One day, they will not be able to pay it back. , The bank took the house back, and they have nothing left, which is not what I want to see." Zhao Ning said.

"The most fundamental thing here is to guarantee their income." Zhao Ning continued, "This is what the Zhengshitang should discuss, and it is not enough to simply clear the responsibility. Bank risk is very important, but The risk to the people is more important."

"The official is right. I will tell Mr. Zhao truthfully about this matter."

"Luoyang is also going to sell land, and it is also facing the same problem." Zhao Ning's mind was spinning quickly, and he suddenly asked, "How to get rich?"

Both Wang Zonglian and Qian Yuqing were stunned for a moment, and Wang Zonglian said, "Of course you are rich if you are rich."

"Currency is only used to measure goods. If you want to be rich, you must have more goods. If you want more people to be rich, you must have more goods from all walks of life, so that all walks of life can make money."

Both looked at Zhao Guan's house.

Zhao Guanjia continued: "How does the product come from?"

"Commodity..." Wang Zonglian replied cautiously, "made it?"

"That's right, clothes are made of ramie, silk is made of silk, paper is made of bamboo, pottery is made of clay, and swords are made of iron. They either grow out of the ground or come from the ground itself." Zhao Ning's thoughts became more and more clear.

"These are all called resources. Those that grow from the soil are renewable resources. Iron ore is gone when you dig it. They are called non-renewable resources, but they can all be turned into commodities, sold for money, and rich."

"Zhengshitang wants everyone to make money, that is to let commodities flow into the market and circulate them, so that commodities from all walks of life are circulated, so it is necessary to plant trees and bamboos for the manufacture of commodities, and to encourage local governments to mine iron ore and copper. mines and gold mines."

Qian Yuqing immediately said: "About the gold mine, I remembered it. Zhang Jun said before that Japan has many."

PS: Guys, I’ve been on the road for two days yesterday and today, I can’t do it anymore, I’m so tired that I can’t move at all now, I’ll make up for it tomorrow, good night everyone.

Chapter 937 The Great Cannibal Who Came to Beijing (Third Change)

Speaking of Zhang Jun, it seems that more than two years have passed since the last time his home was raided.

It is said that in the past two years or so, Zhang Jun has not become depressed because of his house ransacked in the area of ​​Hangzhou Prefecture, but has been at his ease.

This person still has to use the right place!

Japan was a well-known gold and silver producing area in ancient times, and Zhao Ning still has some historical knowledge about this.

Wang Zonglin said: "There have been rumors among the people that Japan has a lot of gold and silver, and I have heard a lot of them, but how the imperial court obtained gold and silver from there is not an easy task."

"Since the reign of Zhenzong, there has been a tradition of extensive trade with Japan along the coast. It is true that a lot of gold and silver have been obtained, but most of them are in the private sector, and it is impossible to verify the profit of private businessmen." Zhao Ning said, "What I want is The imperial court can get those gold and silver."

Qian Yuqing said: "It's not difficult. Japanese people like our dynasty's poetry, calligraphy and painting the most, especially Su Zizhan, Huang Tingjian and others' calligraphy, painting and poetry."

"Those are also invaluable in Song Dynasty." Wang Zonglin said.

"What I mean is that you don't need the original to copy the manuscript." Qian Yuqing said, "The Four Treasures of the Study are also highly sought after in Japan, and they are the only choice for the Japanese to rank among the nobles."

"You mean, exchange these for gold and silver?"

"These can definitely be exchanged for gold and silver."

"You personally urge the Hangzhou Shipping Department on this matter," Zhao Ning said.

"Yes."

After saying this, Zhao Ning got on his horse and walked around again.

Before he knew it, he had come near the official road leading to Nanxun Gate.

At this time, there was an endless stream of business travelers near the official road, and carloads of goods were loaded behind the carriages and transported into the city.

At the gate of the city, the officials in charge of examining and exiting are busy.

The population flow of Tokyo City exceeds that of all dynasties.

Because commerce was unprecedentedly developed, farmers were free to move to the city.

Even at the gate of the city, there are special officials from the Ministry of Households, who will count the people who enter the city.

For example, at this time, there is a group of ragged people gathered on the side.

Another official came over and said to those people: "You come to the city with me, and go to the Kaifeng government office to register the register. After the registration is completed, I will arrange a place for you to stay and eat. You will start working tomorrow, and you will receive 10 Wen a day."

According to the price of one penny for a steamed bun in Tokyo, 10 pennies a day, including food and lodging, these people can definitely survive.

Everyone smiled and followed the official into the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ning took it for granted, because these things existed as early as the Renzong era.

Later Song Huizong and Cai Jing also set up a nursing home and Anjiyuan. In order to please Cai Jing, local officials began to develop a social welfare system, which made the already difficult finances of the Song Dynasty even worse.

Later, those slowly couldn't play anymore.

On the contrary, this system of finding jobs for refugees has been preserved since the time of Renzong.

If you are one of the refugees and feel that the work here is too hard and tiring, and you don’t want to do it anymore, you can do it. You are free to resign. You can just go to the streets of Tokyo City and beg for food. No one will tell you, but you may often be arrested Personnel stare.

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty ruled the country with literature. Although the martial arts were not good enough, the social manners were very good.

These fine traditions have not been disrupted by Zhao Ning, but have become better with the increase in finances and jobs.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the official road between the woods ahead.

Zhao Ning was immediately attracted by the noise.

I saw a group of people surrounding the official road, blocking the official road.

The officials at the gate of the city sent two officials to walk over there with a few yamen servants.

Zhao Ning asked: "Go, go and have a look."

"Will it be dangerous?" Wang Zonglin said.

"There is no danger at the gate of the capital. From now on, this place will be the place where the common people live. If there is danger, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion can go away." After finishing speaking, Zhao Ning walked over on horseback.

A group of people around quickly followed.

Near the crowd, Zhao Ning heard the noise coming from inside.

"It's clear that you disturbed my mother. You didn't apologize, but you still wanted to hit someone?" A man's voice came from the crowd.

"Bold and unruly! Do you know who these people are, and dare to blackmail and presumptuously here!"

The responder was a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform, but he spoke with a strong Wu accent, and he could tell he was from the Jiangnan area, very similar to Qian Yuqing and Qian Jinshu's accent.

Wang Zonglin asked suspiciously, "Is it the officials from Jiangnan who came to Beijing?"

Qian Yuqing was also quite puzzled: "It seems that he is an official of the Shibo Department, why did he come to the capital?"

Looking at those riding horses in the back, Qian Yuqing immediately understood: "It's the big cannibals. I remembered that before the government wanted to summon those big cannibals, I sent an order to Hangzhou to announce them to the capital. It should be this group of people."

If it was in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, it was normal to see big cannibals, but in Bianjing in the Song Dynasty, it was very shocking to see big cannibals.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, China has become more and more strict about the debate between Huaxia and Yi.

The Han people are also becoming more and more cautious about the defense against foreign races.

It can be seen from the costumes that the Han people in the Song Dynasty were not allowed to wear clothes of foreign races. If you dare to wear them, the officials will dare to arrest you and punish you!

In the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people might wear Hu people's clothes. In Chang'an City, dealing with Hu people was quite normal.

During the quarrel, the officials at the gate of the city had arrived with a few yamen servants.

"What happened?" the official asked.

Seeing that official, Zhao Ning felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it before?

He couldn't remember it for a while, after all, he had seen too many people.

"This Shangguan, I took my mother to Beijing and walked well on the road. Their horses ran too fast and disturbed my mother. They came down and slapped me. I want to fight back. There are so many of them. I I couldn't beat them, but they beat me." The man said.

It can be seen that he is a simple and honest man who has been farming all year round and his skin is tanned.

Zheng Xi walked in front of those people, looked at them, and then his eyes fell on the official, and asked: "This colleague, where are you from?"

The official rode on the horse, didn't even look at Zheng Xi, snorted coldly: "You are an official, I am an official, what qualifications do you have to call me a colleague?"

Zheng Xi was not angry either, and said: "The imperial court has undergone a bureaucratic restructuring, and the officials and officials are all part of the imperial court's official staff, and we are colleagues."

"Hahaha, a little gatekeeper dares to climb up on me, I advise you to get out of the way quickly, there are my distinguished guests from Song Dynasty here, disturbing them, ten of your heads are not enough to cut off! "

Zheng Xi looked at those big cannibals again, and saw that they looked haughty, talking in nonsense, with snickering on their faces.

PS: This is a supplement to yesterday's update.

Chapter 938 Song Dynasty is the place where the law is taught (first update)

In the Song Dynasty, there was no tradition of respecting Hu people.

Not only no, Song people also looked down on Hu people, thinking that they were barbarians from uncivilized lands.

Except for the Huizong era of the Song Dynasty, when they were humiliated by the Jinren and the powerful were afraid of being beaten, ordinary people really didn't regard the Jinren as their superiors.

Let's just say that in the first year of Jingkang, before Zhao Ning crossed over, during the first defense of Tokyo City, the Song army did not just defend, but went out of the city from time to time to hunt down the Jin army who was alone.

Later, there was a scandal in which a soldier of the Song Army captured a soldier of the Jin Army and was ordered by the court to beheaded on the spot for public display.

This was the weakness of the court dignitaries at that time.

Among the people, there is really no concept that foreign monks are awesome.

Zheng Xi said: "No matter who it is, as long as it hurts someone in my Song Dynasty's territory, it must be dealt with according to the king's law."
