Come to Song Dynasty with the system

Prime Minister Du Wei held up a white jade fluorene board and said a good plan.

"Okay, if this kind of three-year-old child doesn't believe it, can Su thief believe it? Since this is the best policy, there are also medium and bad policies. Let's talk about them together."

Du Wei had a bad nose, stepped back, and was replaced by another prime minister, Jia Changchao, who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the best strategy is to mobilize an army and surround and kill Su Shi regardless of the cost. In this way, he can be taken away." Take all the money back. You can even force him to hand over the source of business, and turn bad things into good things."

"The price is too high. Have you ever thought about whether Liao, Xixia and Manmeng will come to fight the autumn wind if we do this? Hey, the plan is too risky. Let's talk about the middle strategy." Zhao Zhen shook his head again, obviously He didn't want to take risks, he didn't have the guts in his bones.

Neither the best policy nor the worst policy is acceptable, and another prime minister, Pang Ji, stood up with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, the middle policy is to negotiate with Su Shi. Of course, it is not to make him surrender, but to let him leave the Song Dynasty. It’s so big, you can go to other places.”

This is persuading people to leave.

To put it bluntly, Da Song had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to make Su Shi an enemy, so he simply let him go.But Su Shi had to make sure he wasn't in Huo Huosong.

The so-called bigness of the world is to let Su Shi go to other places to make trouble.

In the final analysis, the middle strategy is that you can't beat it but you can hide it.

This idea actually reached Zhao Zhen's heart.The most important thing is to do this without Da Song paying anything at all, which Zhao Zhen especially likes.

"This is a good strategy, but I don't know who should be sent to negotiate with Su Shi?" Zhao Zhen nodded first, and then asked back.

"Can

Send Privy Envoy Bao Xianggong to go. "Pang Ji named the candidate without hesitation, which shows that he has already made preparations before.

In fact, the so-called three strategies of top, middle and bottom were all thought up by the lords together.The three prime ministers divided the three strategies by drawing lots, but Pang Ji was not lucky enough to choose the middle strategy.

Don't think that it's a child's play to decide such a big event by drawing lots.In fact, in the dynasties of history, when many major events were decided, they were decided in a child's play.

"Bao Xiren?" Hearing that this was the candidate, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction. Bao Zheng and Su Shi had a very close relationship, which he had known for a long time.Now Da Song and Su Shi have turned their faces, and it is indeed a good candidate to let someone who has an old relationship with Su Shi go.

Just ordering Bao Zheng to go alone, Zhao Zhen was a little worried, he was afraid that something he could not know would happen, and accidents would happen, so he looked at Pang Ji and said: "Pang Aiqing, the solution is you If you think about it, why don't you go to the northern border and go with Bao Aiqing. By the way, Bao Aiqing should return to the capital after this matter is settled."

This is the condition for Bao Zheng to come forward.

As for Pang Ji, it was pure bad luck that he got the lottery.He seemed to have known for a long time that this would be the result, and with a bitter expression on his face, he clasped his fists and said: "I obey the order."

Su Shi's matter was carried out through negotiations, and the outcome is still unknown.And the next thing to talk about is the major financial affairs of the country.

When Zhao Zhen brought up the topic, all the courtiers below lowered their heads, as if they were going to be dumb.

Matters involving money

, no one wants to speak, this is a normal thing.After all, if you want to make more money, you will inevitably offend others, and such work is often a thankless job.

Everyone didn't speak, so Zhao Zhen was naturally not satisfied, so he called the names directly, and the first thing he called was the third division envoy, Song Itching.Who told the other party to deposit the treasury money into Huaxia Bank? Now that something is wrong, whoever is not looking for you.

Perhaps it was because of his personality, or perhaps because of his duty, that Song Ting never formed cliques in the imperial court.

Thinking about it, if a senior official in charge of a country's finances is forming a party for personal gain, the emperor will not tolerate it.

Song Tiao, who was named, didn't hesitate like other courtiers. On the contrary, he seemed to have an idea and said: "Your Majesty, I have only one opinion, increase the land tax?"

"Absolutely not."

Song Tickle just opened his mouth, and the other ministers seemed to come alive, and they collectively opposed it.

Land tax can be called agricultural tax, but there are differences between them.

Compared with the subsequent dynasties, the land tax in the Song Dynasty is actually relatively light. The reason is of course not that the rulers of the Song Dynasty were benevolent, but that their control over the local area was weaker than that of the subsequent dynasties, and the rulers of the Song Dynasty did not have any Re-distribution of land, coupled with the high cost of implementing laws and regulations in a centralized empire, made it difficult to implement at the grassroots level, and the Five Dynasties eliminated old local families, powerful and powerful, and Confucianists were still rebuilding clans, so it was difficult to investigate The rulers who actually control the land can only be forced to "lighten the land tax", which is reflected in the history of the Song Dynasty and the edicts of the Song Dynasty.

This led to the Song Dynasty

The land tax is tolerant, and the tax is heavier in other areas.For example, there are commercial taxes, wine taxes, tea taxes, salt taxes, etc., which are heavier than others. This is the root cause of the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

This is why some people say that Song Fu is dozens of times better than Han.

It's just that in recent years, other taxes have been reduced. This is all because of the serious land annexation, which caused many Song people to lose their land.But without the land, other corvees have not been reduced at all, which makes the quality of life of the people worse than before.

The common people have no spare money, and their consumption ability declines, so commercial development will naturally be affected.

Business development is affected, which directly affects taxation. That's it, Song Ting proposed to increase the land tax.

Seeing that many ministers stood up to oppose it, Song You snorted coldly, and then continued: "Your Majesty, what I said is to increase the land tax, not the increase of the agricultural tax."

"What's the difference?" Zhao Zhen asked a little dizzily.

"Your Majesty, there is naturally a big difference. The so-called agricultural tax means that all people working in agriculture have to pay more tax. The land tax can be added, which means that only those who own land are taxed. What Qi Chen means is , the land below two mu is not taxed, and on the contrary, the land with more than two mu will be taxed more and more."

"Your Majesty, during the famine year, the common people had little food left. In order to tide over the difficulties, they had to borrow money from the local gentry to borrow seeds to survive the day, and they would return it when the harvest was good. However, these gentry took advantage of the danger, and the interest rate was fixed. It was extremely high, forcing the people to sell their land to pay off their debts. Many people have already lost their original land.

, was forced to become a tenant farmer. "

"Your Majesty, the number of tenant farmers in the Song Dynasty is more than fifty times that of the Taizu period."

"What, are you serious?" Zhao Zhen was taken aback when he heard the astonishing number.

What is the concept of fifty times? Doesn't it mean that in the Taizu period, 51 people had their own land, but now there is only one person left?

People have no land, how do they live on?

Once the people have no source of income, isn't the world not far from chaos?

"In front of your Majesty, I naturally dare not talk nonsense. I have a statistics here, and Your Majesty can tell the truth by looking at it." As he spoke, Song Tiao took out a memorial from his bosom and followed Zhongguan Zhang Mao Then he hurried forward, took the transfer and passed it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen didn't go to see it right away, he knew that even if Song You said so, there would be nothing wrong, otherwise the other party would not be able to bear the charge of deceiving the emperor.

"Tell me, how will the land tax you mentioned be collected?"

Listening to Zhao Zhen's question, Song Tick explained, "Your Majesty, if you have more land, you will pay more, and if you have less land, you will pay less. Ordinary people who only have two acres of land can pay low taxes as usual. Under the heavy taxation, the local gentry will find that the land will not make them rich, but will become a burden, so they will hand over the excess land. At that time, the local government can buy it at a low price Then, rent it to the local people at a normal price."

"In this way, the local government can get an extra income, and after the people have their own land, their lives will become better. With the stability of people's hearts, business will naturally be easier to do. Business tax

You can also charge a few percent more, this is the way to make the country strong and the people rich. "

"Well, what a strong country and rich people."

After listening to Song Tickle finished his theory, Zhao Zhen looked overjoyed.

Of course Zhao Zhen is very clear about the truth that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

If the people are stable, Zhao Song's regime will be more stable.And after this move, more land tax and commercial tax can be collected, and the national treasury will become full again, wouldn't it be beautiful.

There is no reason for Zhao Zhen to disagree with such a good thing. Now the Bendang Hall announced that the land tax will be increased from now on.

The emperor made a decision with one word, and the other ministers felt itchy with hatred in their hearts.

These ministers are all beneficiaries of the land annexation, and Song Ting's move is to pluck hair from them. It is strange that they are happy.

It's just that His Majesty agreed to this matter, and they can't refute it in public, they can only think about what to do in private.

They don't care if Da Song is rich or not, but they must be rich and not suffer, otherwise what's the point of being an official?

......

In the battle outside Qingfeng City, Su Shi broke the backbone of the Song army, and the next journey to the north was very smooth, and there were no open-minded people who came to make trouble.

At this moment, Su Shi seemed to have become the Marquis of Wuji in the Song Dynasty again. The local cities adopted a policy of indifference to the places he went, that is, neither suppressed nor opened the city to let him enter.

Su Shi has a system to help, so naturally he doesn't worry about the cost of food and drink, and there is no need to enter the city when passing by.In this way, the Su family's army marched northward, passing through Daming Mansion, Enzhou, Dezhou, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, and Bazhou, the northern border of the Song Dynasty.

Set off in September with more than 1 people

When the family members arrived in Bazhou, it was already early November, and the weather was already cold, especially in the morning and evening, and heavy snow was about to come.
