Chapter 783(2/2)
As for how many people it has supported, it is hard to say, but the income can definitely be roughly estimated. At least next year, what Wang Ju said, the income increased by direct income and commercial tax can make the court profit of more than 20 million chunks.
In fact, it can be implemented this year, that is, the profit from issuing silk, but this profit is not easy to say, because the court paid a lot of gold and silver as principal. It turns out that they also regarded the gold and silver brought by the other side as the gold and silver of the court.
In fact, some clever ministers have seen through Wang Ju's intentions. Wang Ju introduced various policies that benefit the people must lead to a decrease in the court's income. If you want to maintain this balance, you must pay attention to the operation of the bank department. Otherwise, if Wang Ju continues to struggle, the national finance will suffer losses again.
The deficit in Xiningchu was deliberately downplayed by people from all sides, and Zhao Xu didn't want to mention it. Why? This mentioning would hinder his father's reputation. However, Wang Ju sometimes mentioned it, but he wouldn't mention it deliberately. However, as these important officials, he knew everything in his heart, and was afraid of that deficit.
Wang Ju said again: "The other side may bring about 1.5 million to 2 million taels of gold and 500 to 6 million taels of silver to the court this year to next spring."
"So much?" Zhang Dun was surprised.
"Last winter, I realized that the number of silk exchanges might still be seriously insufficient, so I asked the servants to take a steam crane to go to the other side to inform them of emergency support. Zihou, you should know that for these gold and silver, the other side has sacrificed heavily. Not only has the private use of gold and silver on the other side been overdrawn, but trade has also been overdrawn, and even the banks on the other side have shaken."
There are banks on the other side, as everyone knows, but this is not as serious as Wang Ju said. No matter what, on the other side, banks still have absolute prestige. Seeing that the control is loose, it is actually much stronger than the Song Dynasty. At least it will not have complex interests like the Song Dynasty.
Wang Ju was in a hurry again, so he temporarily transferred half of the gold and silver reserves of the other banking department to support him.
I have to make up for it in the future. Over time, no matter how strong the control is, problems will arise.
The use of gold and silver among the people is not that serious.
The most serious thing is trade overdraft. In order to get more gold and silver, as long as you use gold and silver to buy commercial goods, you will be discounted. This leads to a loss of about one million kilns and also overdraws future trade profits.
But how much is the loss? Wang Ju doesn't know now, that is, gold and silver. The ones on the Dashi side will not return next spring. Only then can they know the specific amount. But next year, the other side will only support a small amount of gold and silver. After all, the two major shifts of gold and silver will have some adverse effects on the development of the other side. The rest will have to be found within the Song Dynasty.
The reason for this is to change, that is, to continue to print 100 million silk slabs next year.
In fact, it is a bit risky to do this. After all, the amount of gold and silver capital is still insufficient. Fortunately, Wang Ju is still in Zhongshu next year and can continue to control it.
At the same time, we ordered Jiaozhi and Yunnan to set up several exchanges, using the Song Dynasty's commercial goods to find ways to exchange gold and silver from several small countries in the south. Although these countries are small, they are distributed with many gold and silver mines, especially the Bagan Kingdom.
Therefore, there should be no big problem in spending next year safely, and the year after that.
However, Wang Ju will never say this, otherwise he will be used by those who are interested. Some people will not care about the life and death of the country and do everything they can to suppress their opponents.
"In addition, the court will add 600 operations next year. From now on, we will plan. At the same time, relevant personnel will be transferred to each operation nearby for internships."
There were more than 300 state prefectures and prefectures in the Song Dynasty. Although they had obtained a large amount of territory in the south in Xining, Wang Anshi cut some state prefectures and now they are more than 300 state prefectures and prefectures. However, some places are still very backward or have special terrain. For example, the newly captured several Manzhou areas by the two routes of Nanguang. Although Wang Ju allocated millions of bans in the spring to use for people's livelihood or infrastructure, he did not dare to deal with them.
Therefore, this list only includes 305 state and military supervisors, as well as nearly 400 non-state prefectures and counties with relatively prosperous economy. This is the second step of expansion. In the future, more than 1,000 operations will be set up one after another. At that time, basically every state and county had operations, and even some economic centers would also be engaged in operations. At that time, banks can involve the people's livelihood of the entire country.
This was also agreed upon, and no one has objected.
However, Wang Ju's next sentence started to uproar. Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty, all the masters, I said last year that it will take it from the people and use it for the people. The national economic situation will get better and better with the emergence of the Banking Department, so it will be used for the people."
"How to use it for the people?"
"Your Majesty, please allocate silk equivalent to 15 million chunks of silk and distribute it to all prefectures and counties across the country, so that all prefectures and counties can build roads, water conservancy, and bridges according to the circumstances under their jurisdiction."
"Taibao, the country has already consumed a lot in the past year," Cai Qi said immediately.
Other ministers also agreed.
Not only Wang Ju's policies to benefit the people, but also the two Miao Shizhong and Miaolu won a beautiful victory in the south, but the two did not conquer the troops and took down all the nearly ten large-scale banished states above and east of Pu'an Prefecture. The area was at least equivalent to the normal area of the six or seven states in the Song Dynasty! But this battle undoubtedly incurred costs, and the cost during the battle was subsidized by the two routes. However, the subsidies on Guangnan West Road undoubtedly reduced the income of the court. Also, after the war, please give rewards and compensation, Miao Shizhong and Lu Dazhong asked the court for help. Our spring tax has not been implemented yet, and there is not much money and silk in each prefecture. Please transfer money and silk immediately to reward pensions.
Wang Ju laughed and cried.
However, this battle is of great significance. It not only shocked the southwestern Yi tribes, but also made the chiefs of each tribe come to Beijing to express their sincerity. The Song Dynasty officially obtained such a large area of territory, and at the same time compressed the country and China into an irregular rectangle. Without thickness, advanced civilization can radiate. The simplest thing is, in the autumn, the trade routes between Tanzhou and Juzhou were basically opened. No matter whether the trade routes were barbarians or Han merchants, at least the barriers would be improved.
The fact that the battle went smoothly was also due to the changes in Pu'an Prefecture, especially Wang Ju set up a large-scale trade in Pu'an Prefecture. This allowed many barbarians around to see the changes in Pu'an Prefecture, so many people at the bottom welcomed the arrival of the Song army.
Although the wealth generated by this mutual market led to the invasion of the barbarians, it also caused this great victory.
In the end, Wang Ju gave two roads of money and allocated an additional five million stags of money to use for the livelihood of these newly obtained states, military and people. It was too backward. If the court did not subsidize, it would be occupied. Because the roads were not smooth and the farming methods were backward. The environment was blocked, the court still could not manage it well.
But this means that the court has incurred an additional expenditure of more than 10 million yuan.
Therefore, Zhao Xu was also suspicious: "Wang Qing, if you attack Xia, you will need a lot of money."
The national treasury and internal treasury still have a lot of savings. If this amount is allocated, it is not a big problem. But after the amount is allocated, what should I do if the future cost of summer breaking is done?
"There are several reasons for this. The court embezzled a large amount of silk material, which led to the rise in the price of silk. In fact, these silk materials account for not too high among all the fabrics in the country. However, because of the embezzlement, some merchants got the opportunity to hoard goods. However, the treasury saved a lot of cloth. Although the country needs a large amount of cloth every year, with the popularity of cotton cloth, and even better cotton seeds in the future, the price of these cloth must fall. Saving too much is actually a depreciation and waste."
Better cotton seeds have not been brought here, and the other side may not have been found yet.
But no one doubted that several miscellaneous grains were harvested and the yield was very high.
"But if these cloths are distributed, it will undoubtedly suppress the hoarding of these merchants, and will not raise the price of silk materials next year. Otherwise, the cost of printing silk will inevitably increase. Secondly, although the Xining reform finally made the national finances more abundant, some of the problems in them have indeed harmed some of the people, which is also a disguised return to the people. If the people are at peace, the country will be stable, and the upper and lower levels will work together. This internal environment is conducive to the destruction of the Xia."
"Sima Guang said that the country's wealth remains unchanged, and this is wrong. Can our economy be compared with the present when Emperor Taizong was the time? Some people say that I was a road construction maniac. In fact, transportation was developed, the economy would improve. With the people's spare money in their hands, it could stimulate the development of commerce and trade, and the national economy would also be revitalized. Moreover, the changes in the states and counties when I served in the local area were the best proof. In fact, if it were not for some additional costs in the southern army, I planned to take out 20 million chunks of cloth every year in the next two years to use it for each state and county to build road water conservancy."
"Your Majesty, all the Dukes, Qin State has Qin Direct Road, Lingqu, Zheng State Canal, Dujiangyan, Great Wall. The Han Dynasty artificially transformed the Yellow River, and the Sui Dynasty had the Grand Canal. These projects have benefited future generations one after another. However, these dynasties also destroyed the country because of this, so there were few large-scale projects in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, no dynasty could match our dynasty. It was just that our dynasty did not carry out large-scale projects, but many small projects and small water conservancy projects. However, the combined scale of these projects was far better than the previous dynasties.
In the years, the sea of the sea became mulberry fields, tea gardens rose up in the mountains, and flat lakes became fertile soil. Now my approach is the same, but unlike the previous one, it is not a servant, but a recruitment, all related to the prefectures and county projects where the people are located, that is, the happiness of the people. Therefore, the people will not suffer, but enjoy it. However, after the transformation of the past two years, the road conditions in the prefectures and counties in our dynasty will be further improved, and there will also be some small water conservancy, which will have a very far-reaching impact."
Wang Ju planned to jointly supervise the whereabouts of these money from various departments, Transport Departments, and Criminal Prison Departments, but some of them will still be corrupted by officials, and the remaining materials will not be very expensive. It is impossible to use steel and cement now. At most, some vehicles will be damaged and consumed by gunpowder. Therefore, if 30 million guan is allocated, at least 20 million guan will be turned into wages and distributed to poor people. This will undoubtedly improve the pressure on many poor people.
"As for the summer destruction, the cost may be very high, but it cannot be as long as Qingli, so the cost will not be higher than the cost during the Qingli War. Your Majesty, don't worry. Besides, it seems that money and silk are allocated, and the actual silk cost control saves part of the money and silk, and the people have more money left in their hands. The commerce and trade are booming, and some of them are also flowing back to the treasury through commercial taxes."
What should I do when it comes to this point?
In fact, it was not as relaxed as Wang Ju said. After walking out of the Yanhe Palace, Wang Ju even thought in his heart that it would be great if he had been in the Secretariat for four years, not three years.
But this is impossible. Not to mention Zhao Xu's suspicion, even Zhao Xu's body may not be able to survive at that time. Maybe he went to Shaanxi before, and Zhao Xu would get sick later. Although Wang Huo was spending money with big hands, every expense was actually cautious and walking on thin ice.
Just like this year, he plans to improve the Horse Protection Law and Baojia Law, and moderately ban the heavy taxes of some prefectures and counties. However, considering the finances and future summer breaks, let alone the future, there will be a considerable amount of expenses next year. So Wang Ju did not propose it in the end, but delayed it to the next year before implementing it according to the situation.
Therefore, Wang Ju said silently in his heart: "I hope the weather will be good in the past two years."
Once a major disaster comes, not only will some people attack it, but the court will also spend a lot of money.
Chapter completed!
