"None of them are feasible? Even if it's a cure?"

Wang Ju really doesn't know much about this transformation history. Anyway, in the future, the Yellow River flows north and east, and there are artificial constraints, and there are also choices for the Yellow River itself. Until the terrain of Hebei is quickly raised, the Yellow River enters the Huai River.

But the problem is that when the sea reaches the distance, the water also has a problem with water flow, such as the flow rate of one meter per second, then the flow rate of sixty meters per minute, and the flow rate of three thousand six hundred meters per hour. The farther away from the sea estuary, the water of the Yellow River cannot be discharged quickly, and more dams will begin. Then, the Yingtianfu area in Kaifeng will flood every few years, and the mud and sand will be plundered, so only saline and alkaline land will be left.

Therefore, Huang was introduced into Ji in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the situation in the Yellow River was even worse at that time. To be precise, the river management in Lefu did not cure it. It can only be said that the idea was correct. Huang and Ji were united, close to the estuary of the sea, and the Ji River was washed away, which became the real main path of the Yellow River later.

Thinking of this, he said: "Even if I have been cured, I dare not confirm it. At least I can't just read the map of "No" and "Wrong". It's better to do this. The canal workers are basically resting. It's better to let me ride a horse and take a look and report to Your Majesty."

“It’s so hard.”

"Your Majesty treats me like this, it is worth it to work hard."

"Tomorrow, I'll have a meal with me today."

Wang Ju wanted to refuse, but finally looked at Zhao Xu, but he couldn't bear it.

After all, Zhao Xu is different from himself. He is a human being in two lives, but this little emperor is not a human being in two lives, he is only twenty-one years old. Other young people are at his age when they are arranging flowers and having fun. However, Zhao Xu has to deal with those scheming old guys. He also has to face the biggest lack of money in history...

Wang Ju hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

It wasn’t Zhao Xu who asked him to accompany him to eat for him because of appreciation. But there were so many things left behind.

There was still a while for dinner. Zhao Xu asked again: "Wang Qing, if you say that the country does not add taxes and uses it for your own use, can you do it?"

Here comes!

Why was Wang Ju afraid of coming to the capital? It was because the reform was about to begin. If there were no disasters last year, the people of Xixia really became quiet, there was no war, and he did not build Zheng Baiqu, and the national finances began to show a preliminary surplus. Zhao Xu would not be in a hurry.

Responsible for the ten million he brought, and it went on like washing water. Wang Anshi wanted to establish a kapok store. Wang Ju liked it very much, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and clothes were ranked first in front of food. To be honest, more than 15 million households needed cotton products, and even in a few years the population of Song and Liao dynasties would expand, and that would be close to 20 million households. Each household had one cotton product a year, and the number was amazing.

Then this kapok can collect a large amount of money and silk in a very short time, at least in the hands of Wang Anshi. It will bring a lot of money to the country every year. The difficulty lies in the past few years. Gradually, the country has become rich, and it will not be so difficult in the future. Moreover, as Wang Shao operated Qinzhou, developed Zheng Baiqu himself, and coupled with the reform of the military system he proposed, the cost of military use would also drop sharply. The Song Dynasty's vitality has recovered.

But now the finances will be more difficult.

So Zhao Xu was anxious.

He thought for a long time before saying, "This concept is a bit vague, let me give you a metaphor. Just like eating, there is a large table now, and the surroundings of the table are full of people waiting for dinner. When eating, the food is presented, including cakes, wine, meat, and vegetables. So many quilts are sold at high prices, but the more they sell, it is more expensive. It is conceivable that people can eat at this table. But the problem is that there are some big-bellied men sitting, who are experienced and prestige, so they are trying hard to eat and take the lead. Therefore, the food on this table is rich, but many people are not full."

“This metaphor is very pretty.”

"So there are two ways to solve the problem now, one way to force redistribute the food of the big-bellied man to those who are not full."

"The country, the poor people."

"That is, but this method cannot be called a country that uses its own use without adding taxes. It can only be said to redistribute benefits once. And because the table is large and it is not easy to be so fair when distributing. Often, some big-bellied men continue to occupy a large amount of food, and what is directly squeezed out is the food of poor people. Perhaps with the national food, the food of big-bellied men and poor people is damaged. So people all over the world began to oppose it."

"this……"

"There is another method, such as the soju, which is different from any wine in our dynasty. It is also sold by foreigners. Even if it is sold locally, it purchased a large amount of wine and re-brewed. Therefore, it belongs to the real country without adding taxes. A more elegant saying is open source. Not only is the powerful not rejected, the country also receives a large amount of taxes."

"Haha, I won't talk about that shochu," said Zhao Xu. It's so ashamed. In four years, the tax on shochu was only tens of thousands of guan, and the profits were more than tens of thousands of guan, which was all funded to the country. If it weren't for this shochu, the soldiers of Zheng Baiqu would not even have cattle.

Wait a little longer. In a few years, when the funding reaches a certain level, you can award some awards to some rank officials in several families.

It’s not that Zhao Xu is ruthless, if both Zhu and Li families are easy to deal with, the remaining Xi Zhao and other families will also participate.

And the reward now is not a good thing for Wang Ju. He can have this idea, thanks to Wang Ju for brainwashing and making great progress.

Indeed, what Wang Ju needs now is still accumulation. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, there is no need for Zhao Xu to reward him. There will be ministers who will speak and even stand up for Wang Ju.

Wang Ju doesn't care, what's the matter in a hurry, and he doesn't want to enter the court now, so he won't be in a hurry. Let's get Zheng Baiqu first. I'm really worried when I leave. It's not a technical problem, but arable land.

Wang Ju said again: "The profits of kapok are limited, but the profits of kapok will be amazing. My minister and His Highness the Great Princess will soon join forces with another business. Once successful, the profits will be great."

"Lebu?"

"It's not Li Bu, the eldest princess is kind-hearted, how can she grab the income of the poor Li people? Even though she has interfered with Li Bu, it's to promote it for them, help it, not to grab the income."

"What is that?"

"It is also a new thing, and I don't know how the effect is. When the management is almost done, I will hand it over to the court with the eldest princess."

"You and the eldest princess..."

"Your Majesty, you really can't think too much. This was agreed a long time ago. After I got married, I have no contact with His Highness the Great Princess."

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly.

This is really hard to say.

"Your Majesty, these are the real open source. This is the second method I said. Instead of snatching food from everyone, I find flour, salt, sesame and other ingredients to make food again. And I also encourage everyone to make food together. With too much food, everyone can eat enough."

Zhao Xu was a little confused.

"In this way, I will make another analogy. It is more difficult to launch the new business of Kapok and Chen. If the income is placed on an individual, it would be a huge wealth, but it will not play much role in the country. However, it may not be necessary to find such a business. I will say that our taxes are now about a little more than that in Tianbao, but the taxes are several times that of the Tianbao period."

"Ordinary people are more embarrassed than when they were in Tianbao."

That may not be necessary. Tenants in the Tang Dynasty were not called tenants, but tribes. They didn’t even have the right to be free in their personal life, so there was no way to talk about happiness. However, Wang Ju did not fight, but said: “In this way, if the country does not collect two taxes, will the people be more embarrassed?”

"This won't happen," Zhao Xu replied, but it's impossible. If you don't collect two taxes, the national finance will collapse immediately.

"Apart from the two taxes, our dynasty's finances are still several times that of Tianbao. Why? The country encourages business development, so the total wealth of the people is far better than that of the Tang Dynasty. For example, when going abroad, our dynasty asked merchants to go abroad from land and sea to conduct business, but the Tang Dynasty prohibited the people from crossing the border. Tang Sanzang went abroad privately and finally went to Tianzhu. Because the total wealth of the people is better than that of the Tang Dynasty, our dynasty's tax has been heavy since ancient times, but the country has developed smoothly. This is what my ministers say, making cakes. Only when everyone has more food can the country collect more food. It is also considered open source, a real open source technique."

"What are your good plans?"

"Make a fuss about the law of service and release the second, third and fourth-class households. They are the main body of tax payments and the main body of active and strengthening the economy. They must be supported, not harmed," Wang Ju said implicitly.

“Recruitment law.”

"Your Majesty, I am not in the court, so I don't know much. I believe that the ministers in the court will come up with a good idea," Wang Ju walked around again.

But this open source is definitely not the Market Yi method or the Qingmiao method.

"How about Sang Hongyang?"

"Sang Hongyang?"

"Some people say they are good ministers, some people say they are treacherous ministers, and I am a little confused."

"Your Majesty, then I will analyze Sang Hongyang. If you analyze a person's life, you must analyze his background."

"rational."

"The background of Sang Hongyang's financial management was that Emperor Wu of Han launched a counterattack against the Huns. But it was not as glorious as recorded in history books. The Han Dynasty also needed a lot of money, silk and materials to fight. In addition to several expeditions, a large number of officers and soldiers were stationed on the border, and the city was also stationed. At that time, transportation was even more backward and the materials were consumed. Therefore, three or four years after the war began, the Han Dynasty's finances were consumed very quickly, and the Dameng ordered Zheng Dang to collect vehicle and ship tax on merchants and sell martial arts titles."

"I have sold it too."

"Fan Wenzheng has sold official positions, so don't talk about other people. However, Sang Hongyang's financial management was almost at the end of the war, and the Han Dynasty's finances were already in devastation. I think about what he did, one was to rescue and immigrate, and moved 720,000 victims to Kuanxiang, which led to some grievances. However, the result was good. A large area of ​​new arable land was reclaimed, and a few years later, the country's income was increased, and production was also developed."

“But this move is very controversial.”

"Well, what's below is the big one. The second is to issue white deer skin coins and force the currency to depreciate, which is actually equivalent to reducing the finances in the hands of the powerful in disguise."

Zhao Xu's eyes moved.

"Your Majesty, remember this one, paper money is an advanced currency model. Not only can it be issued indiscriminately, but the more economically tense, the more we need to maintain its status. After all, the land's properties are limited, and copper is even more limited. The third is the salt and iron specialty."

The Song Dynasty had specialized in Neng Alum Tea Flavor, so there was no need to laugh at 100 steps and 50 steps.

"The fourth implementation of calculation is actually the overt and overt taxes of our dynasty. Article 5: The municipal merchants are not allowed to occupy arable land and reduce mergers. Article 6: It is prohibited to mint coins from all countries, and the court will issue five coins uniformly. After the war, Sang Hongyang mainly implemented three policies, one was to rectify and develop the official business of salt and iron, and the second was to promote the equal-to-emission method. The whole country collected the specialties of the people and transferred them to scarce areas. The country did not collect the people's income, but earned the difference. The third was to implement the standard law, and buy the inventory when it was low, and sell it when it was expensive."

"It seems very good." Zhao Xu said.

"It's true. The Han Dynasty was still in power at that time. The central government's income was not much. After so many years of war, if Sang Hongyang had no financial management, there would have been a big chaos in the Han Dynasty. But then, your Majesty, think about it. The Han Dynasty used to mines and coins, and all the countries and the powerful, and they were all involved in it. They were immediately taken back to the court. How do the princes and powerful countries think? Business is run by merchants and collected as state-owned. How do the wealthy and powerful merchants think? After the implementation of the Pinghuai Law, how do the big masters who hoarded goods start?"

"What is the elite of the country? These people are the elite of the country. Sang Hongyang has certain meanings that the people do not benefit the people and the world is leveraging, but there are very few real open source policies, mostly redistribution policies that plunder wealth from these elites. There is no tax increase, and the local tax is still thirty-one. Therefore, when Emperor Wu of Han was there, he always trusted Sang Hongyang. During the great progress, he and Huo Guang, Jin Rizhao, and Shangguan Jie received the will and assisted Emperor Zhao together. However, after Huo Guang monopolized the power, in exchange for more elite support..."

"I know this. It is said that Sang Hongyang colluded with the King of Yan to rebel and was killed together with Shangguan Jie," said Zhao Xu.

"Your Majesty, do you believe it?"

"Then is he a good minister or a treacherous minister?" (To be continued...)
