Chapter 594 The eldest son(1/2)
"Ming Gong's development fund is limited to one year, and the one-year period is about to arrive. Ming Gong has no remaining measures, so he dares to guess..."
"It's not what you think," Wang Juyixiao said: "At that time, there were actually three intentions to set up this development fund. One was an experiment conducted by the Qingmiao method."
Wang Ju didn't say what to experiment. Although Zu Yang is good, he is still a "entrepreneur" and there is no need to participate in this state affairs.
"The second is that the front line is moved to Hengshan, including Huai'an Town, Rouyuan Village, Dashun City, and even Jintang City occupied by Xixia have become the rear. Therefore, most areas of Qingzhou and Huanzhou must go from war to internal governance. If you want to govern, you must let the people recover slowly by themselves, and the second is that the government will actively promote it, and the latter can quickly transform into chaos into governance. But in this way, a large amount of money must be injected."
"The third thing is that the people are lucky. The people have obtained a sum of money. Why did I start to let salt merchants replace currency transactions with materials? This is because the coins have always been very nervous. Even merchants do not have enough money in their hands, and the amount of green salt obtained is relatively large. Therefore, it is beneficial to sell green salt. The officers and soldiers themselves also need all kinds of materials. Some materials are usually inconvenient to purchase, but now they can be transported to the people together because of the large amount. However, the materials are finally limited, and they have to be traded in large amounts of currency. These currencies will occur in two situations: one is to be buried, and the other is to spend them randomly when they get rich. If you get gambled, it will not help them, but harm them."
"So I set up a development fund and have the capital to lend it to good merchants like you. You can promote the economic development and taxes of Gyeongju. Secondly, let the people cool down, and also pay some interest to them."
"As for how long I will stay in Qingzhou, I don't know. I may be able to stay for several years like Cheng Gong (referring to Cheng Kan in Yanzhou) and Cai Gong (referring to Cai Ting in Weizhou). But I may only stay for a short time and be transferred away. However, Hengshan Xinde, the defense line needs to be stable and stable, and the Qiang people in Hengshan need to be managed and comforted. Even if it is very short, I can still serve for more than a year. This one-year period is the safest time."
"But in fact, this kind of development fund has many risks. If the officials do nothing or lack ability, it is not a policy that benefits the people, but a real act of harming the people. It turned out that I planned to make it a system, so I also issued a Lubu certificate. Luburi had a statement for five or ten years. But after thinking about it, I felt uneasy. So I took back this Lubu and made it a temporary policy. So don't think about it. Maybe I will leave Qingzhou this year, and maybe Your Majesty will let me stay for a few years. No matter which one, I am Your Majesty's minister, and I will eventually obey the imperial edicts."
Some Wang Ju didn't say anything.
Why does Gyeongju change a lot? Eighty percent of it is brought by this development fund.
The development fund has supported several workshops, but in fact they are all original factories. Nearly 400,000 low-interest loans will be issued, and only in Huanqing Prefectures, how much economy will it drive?
This economy not only feeds many people, but also has commercial taxes.
The biggest commercial tax is the salt tax, which is too large, but this salt tax is mostly used to build roads. Even the three states behind Huanqing Road were built and some roads were purchased and food and supplies were purchased. There was no way, so Wang Anshi withdrew the food and supplies from the front line, so Wang Ju had to buy it with his own money, otherwise how could he survive until the autumn harvest came? There were so many forts.
The income from the salt tax seems to be huge, but in these things, it is just a small wave.
Therefore, the salt tax cannot be calculated.
However, the real commercial tax has also increased.
The Song Dynasty now had only more than 8 million chunks of commercial tax per year, and Huanzhou was almost negligible, and Qingzhou was also unhealthy.
There are no commercial businesses in Huanqing Prefectures, but most of them are private businesses. They either check out smuggled goods or can’t get a penny of commercial tax.
So it turns out that the commercial tax of the two states is only about 30,000 guan, but it doesn’t matter. These two states are military states, and the court spends, not income.
But after Wang Ju's adjustment, not only these workshops are paying commercial taxes, but also the same tax.
Then, secretly promoted the front line and developed three trades. Wang Jujie ordered the officers and soldiers not to stop them, and secretly protected the merchants' transactions. However, these merchants became open goods, and they also had to pay taxes.
Of course, merchants are eager to do so, at least they are better than bribery and deducting them from layer to layer.
But this also requires officials to be fair and not to make money. Just like the two official trades in the Song Dynasty, officials and clerks deducted them from layer to layer. Although trades were set up, many merchants continued to trade secretly, or because officials and merchants colluded to conceal the quantity of goods to evade legitimate taxes. Therefore, the two major trades and the two countries traded in large markets, but did not bring much income to the court.
However, under the rule of Wang Ju, the commercial taxes of the two prefectures in Huanqing surged to 180,000 guan this year!
Just like Zu Yang in front of him, he borrowed more than 60,000 guan of money, but he sold more than 30,000 felt blankets this year, and the commercial tax he paid directly reached 15,000 guan, and indirect commercial tax of nearly 5,000 guan would be generated.
If the interest income is included, the actual income of the government's income is also close to 40% of the profit.
Wang Jufei is Wang Anshi, with 40% profit. How many industries in the Song Dynasty could reach 40% profit in a year?
This is almost a robbery of money.
Besides, it not only robs money, but also makes money in a bare-gun style.
So Wang Ju only intercepted 40,000 jin of commercial taxes and devoted all the rest to the people.
First, relief was made to widows and widows. Not only wars, but also various natural disasters and man-made disasters in this era also produced many widows and widows. They were not martyrs' households, but their lives were pitiful, so Wang Ju allocated some funds to provide relief.
The second is to let good households guide the people.
There were two jokes in his previous life. One was that when the reform and opening up first, the country promoted 10,000 yuan households every day. There was a 10,000 yuan household next door to his relative's house. Then the country desperately borrowed money from him, so he tried hard to raise ducks, raised thousands of ducks. In the end, because he was illiterate, he raised too many problems. The problem came out and went bankrupt and ran away. At that time, Wang Ju was very young. He only heard relatives say that the country was stupid.
In fact, when I came to the Song Dynasty, I was in a high position and slowly recalled that it was not true.
Why? The country seems to have made a joke, at least the bank has generated a dead debt and has also praised a person who was originally going to a well-off family.
However, under the leadership of this ten thousand household, many nearby people began to breed. Although they did not create many ten thousand households, they created tens of thousands of households. From this perspective, has the country made mistakes?
It is precisely this seemingly stupid behavior that the people have gradually embarked on the road to prosperity.
The second joke is the most tragic composition in history. When the leader spoke, it was not that we didn’t care. We bought livestock to teach them to raise them. Well, they were all slaughtered and eaten in less than a month. We bought fertilizer to teach them to fatten the fields and increased grain production, but the people poured out the fertilizer and left snakeskin bags to put things in.
Of course, these leaders have also worked hard, but their efforts have been wrong. Why do we see achievements in the front and sigh in the back?
In fact, it’s just a saying: It’s better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish!
Therefore, except for widows, Wang Ju never directly distributed material relief, or asked them to work, or exchanged for this relief in other ways.
Now we need to manage it. There are also many mountainous areas in Huanqing Prefectures, and many are truly closed and backward mountainous areas, and roads may not be effective even if they are built.
Wang Ju started from the good households, and selected some poor good households in each village. Then Wang Ju sent down the clerks who knew how to produce and operate, and gave loans to these good households. According to the situation of each village, these good households were allowed to plant, breed, or engage in other industries.
In fact, these mountainous areas are mainly backward caused by closure, but these places are not really difficult to survive in the desert snowfield areas. You can eat mountains and water.
These clerks were guided by them, and even Wang Ju came down to guide them personally and found a solution for them.
As for the loan amount, it is divided into one year, three years, and five years according to the situation. If it is forestry, it is ten years.
And it is an interest-free loan without any interest.
So Qian Dongchun saw many people in Qingzhou doing good deeds, because as long as they were classified as good households, gold bricks might be smashed from heaven.
However, it is not what the people think. Some of these good households will fail in the future, but some will succeed. If one person succeeds, it will lead to a large number of people imitating it.
In addition, it is still necessary to build roads. After the road is built, we will continue to build various paths.
If the roads are blocked, you can't think of getting better in each village.
Education was established, but unlike other private schools in the Song Dynasty, Wang Ju added arithmetic classes, and everyone wanted to be a Jinshi. That was so good. Therefore, the purpose of these private schools directly pointed out that the children of various villages in Qingzhou were able to learn books, read and calculate numbers, and no longer be ignorant, rather than becoming Jinshi.
The last thing is to plant trees and afforestation. Wang Ju dares not say whether this can be effective, so he can only say that he has worked hard.
Some officials in the Song Dynasty were more concerned about people's livelihood than Wang Ju. However, because of their different knowledge, it was the first time that the entire Song Dynasty had broken through the land.
However, if you do this, you have to have money.
Without these commercial taxes, Wang Ju even thought of them, but he could not do it.
Or if you allocate money from those workshops, not to mention those workshops, you still have to work hard to pay the two million that Wang Ju promised. Even if you don’t have these two million, you can’t allocate it. That’s just a pure seeking death.
However, under the promotion of Wang Ju, a strange scene occurred in Qingzhou. In order to collect 10,000 to 50,000 yuan of commercial goods to reduce commercial taxes, merchants often gather commercial goods without sending them. Once sent out, it would be a huge caravan, extremely spectacular.
So Gyeongju got better without realizing it.
Moreover, officials of all sizes in Gyeongju are also dreaming.
There is no commercial tax of 180,000 guan. Maybe there is more commercial tax in Ezhou and Hangzhou, but this is Qingzhou. Although Wang Ju spent it again, the 180,000 guan was collected.
If the Song Dynasty could guarantee this amount, wouldn’t it be like commercial tax that would have received 30 million guan?
Zuyang’s wife brought tea.
Wang Ju took a sip and said, "No, good tea."
Then he looked at the row of onlookers and said, "Don't look, I'm not a star... Like you, I'm a human, flesh and blood, and afraid of death. Therefore, Xixia spent tens of gold to buy someone's head, and a certain person could only carry a large group of guards on his trip, which was very inconvenient."
As he said that, he put down the tea bowl and set off to return to Gyeongju.
Zuyang stood there and sent him silently for a long time, and finally said to the weaver girls who were ignorant of the flowers: "Ming Gong is a good official, but you don't have that blessing. Go to work."
Quan Er's eldest son said immediately: "Ming Gong, you are probably the best governor in Qingzhou."
"No. I am far inferior to Fan Zhongyan." Wang Ju said.
In fact, in terms of intention, Wang Ju is really not as good as Fan Zhongyan. He just has a big finger.
If Fan Zhongyan also had this big finger, he still didn't know what it would turn Qingzhou into.
Quan Er's eldest son didn't believe it.
He was the first person to follow Wang Ju. Although this era was forced by life, the people were sensible early. However, at that time, Wang Ju's performance was far superior to his peers.
Therefore, including Quan Er's eldest son, it is inevitable that he would wonder if Wang Ju had descended to earth.
Not only is the second eldest son, I am afraid that 90% of the people in Qingzhou will not agree with Wang Ju's self-evaluation now.
One thing can be seen. When Qiong Niang was about to give birth, Wang Ju sent someone to find a midwife. The entire Qingzhou City suddenly became a sensation and they spontaneously found the best midwife for Wang Ju. Six or seven midwifes came in one go.
Wang Ju scratched his head and said some thanks. He was here, so let's go into the house to deliver the baby together.
Then Wang Ju sat outside and waited nervously. The medical technology in this era is too backward. If a difficult childbirth is done, the mother and son will complete it.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, thinness was beautiful. People were thinner than yellow flowers. The specific one was that they had small feet, slender waist and small breasts. The difficulty of delivery was particularly high. Therefore, when the wife was about to give birth, Wang Ju was like facing a great enemy.
Fortunately, although it was not as good as Fei'er's time, the mother and son were lucky enough to be safe in the end.
And he was born prematurely, but Wang Ju, how could he know if he was born prematurely or not? So the child she gave birth looked relatively small, weighing only four pounds, and she didn't cry.
So the family was still a little nervous.
But he was a baby boy, so none of the midwife left immediately to see if there was anything to help. After more than an hour, the child finally cried a few times.
Hurry, let him breastfeed, a midwife said.
Qiong's mother was feeding milk, and the child opened his eyes while eating milk.
It's okay, it's okay, Ming Gong, it's okay, another midwife said happily.
Wang Ju was also very happy and said, "Get out the reward quickly."
Several midwives pushed them for a long time before accepting them and left happily.
To be continued...
