Chapter 797(2/2)
More than two million qians were a considerable income for the Song Dynasty, and at least more than half of the subsidies for exemption of service were paid!
However, the favorable government has not yet ended. After the imperial edict was put on, the court allocated another 16 million trump card to the prefectures and counties for infrastructure construction.
Winter is coming.
Sima Guang came to the capital and presented a book.
In fact, Zizhi Tongjian had already prepared this book very early, but Sima Guang never offered it. However, when the opportunity was waiting, the more hope it was, the more hope it was.
At this time, the time was not right, but because of the contracting of mountain monuments and tidal flats and lakes, many serious disputes did arise, and perhaps the only time was not the time.
However, this large volume of history is indeed an amazing history book and the first chronicle in China.
History books are very important. They are not only learning from history, but also important means of inheriting civilization. Just like India, it is not without history, but there is no relevant history book. Coupled with the continuous invasion of Western countries, civilization is interrupted.
In ancient times, history was paid more attention to.
Moreover, Sima Guang was old, so Zhao Xu personally met Sima Guang.
Sima Guang took the opportunity to say a few things. The first is the Banking Department. The Banking Department has been in operation for more than two years, and the praise far exceeds the opposition. It is indeed effective. Moreover, if there is no Banking Department, how could Wang Ju implement various people-friendly policies?
However, if you are nitpicking, you can still find the flaws. That is the loss-making businessman. This kind of loss at low interest rates is really nothing to do with the court. However, there are always profits and losses in business. And there are more people who make money than those who lose money. Especially Wang Ju sent a special person to follow up on large loans, which further reduced the loss-making businessmen. Even if you lose money, you can still pay it back if you don’t lose much. But a very small number not only lose money, but also lose nothing. This is helpless. The bank’s Siming was the imperial department department and was also doing business. So he checked his house, land and workshop, and then sold it to recover the loan.
In fact, there are not many merchants who have reached this point, and the banking department does not want such a thing to happen. Even if the mortgaged houses and fields are sold, most of the principal cannot be recovered.
However, under Sima Guang's collection, more than a dozen cases of life in the family were particularly miserable because the bank sold its real estate. They collected them and listed them one by one.
Zhang Dun was very angry and said, "Sima Gong. This year, the bank loans exceeded 200 million yuan. You only mentioned these dozen cases. If these loans fall into the hands of usury merchants, how much bankruptcy will happen?"
"Zhang Zihou, you are not qualified to make suggestions. Please ask your children what they did on Liangzhe Road."
It is said that when Zhang Dun was on Jiaozhi Road, his son forcibly purchased many fertile land in a Kunshan household at a low price. In the end, the court was inconvenient to transfer Zhang Dun back, but he removed many officials from Zhang Dun.
Zhang Dun's face was so embarrassed that Wang Ju made a secret gesture to him, making Zhang Dun remain silent, let's see how Sima Guang performed with the merit of offering books.
Then Wang Ju opened the new book Zizhi again, read a few paragraphs, thinking, there are so many private goods.
Don’t underestimate these historical influences, just like Shang Yang, it’s really good. However, because of Sima Qian’s record of the grandfather, Shang Yang became a traitor for the ages!
But Wang Ju doesn't care. Not only the changes he brought to the Song Dynasty, but also the other shore. If there were still only hundreds of thousands of people on the other shore, then there would be no big waves, but gradually approaching tens of millions of people and more than one million households. Think about how long it took the Tang Dynasty to go from more than two million households to nearly 100 million people in Tianbao.
How can this achievement be discredited by a historical book?
Sima Guang also said that it may be like a billboard, which seems that the people do not add taxes and the country uses it for themselves. However, since ancient times, scholars, farmers, industry and merchants have been a group of people who forget their righteousness when they see profits. Now the court mainly promotes merchants, what kind of tradition is it? Or, just like Wang Anshi, hiring ** to sell wine will become a joke for the ages and a shame for the Song Dynasty.
Then we went to the mountain, mound, tidal flats, lakes and lakes. In order to earn 5% of the tax, the imperial court made the world unrest, and he was in history. Looking at the thousands of years of history of China, how could such a story have ever been there?
Wang Ju put down this historical book and asked: "These policies are not good. What should we do according to Sima Gong's opinion?"
"If you don't launch troops for twenty years, the country will naturally be prosperous and strong."
"During the late emperor, our dynasty respected Xixia very much. Why did Xixia send a large army to attack our dynasty?"
"If it weren't for the instructor Gao Yi to detain the Western Xia envoy Wu Zong for no reason, how could the Western Xia attack our dynasty?"
"You mean that Wu Zong came to Shuntian Gate and wanted to go to the Chuigong Hall to pay homage to the late emperor. Wu Zong refused to see him. Gao Yi was angry and forbidden to the stable. Gao Yi did something wrong. Or that Wu Zong is more noble than the late emperor, or that Xixia is the father of our Song Dynasty and cannot be offended!"
"Wang Ju, I am not this intention, but I can use other methods to resolve it, not to be bound by the stable. If Xixia treats our envoys of the Song Dynasty like this, how should the Song Dynasty treat it?"
"How to treat it? Our envoys of the Song Dynasty can only go to Youzhou, and they can't even go to Xingqing Prefecture, so why do you talk about the stables of the palace? Even if we are not right in the Song Dynasty, we have to treat the people of Xixia as their fathers, including the late emperor and Your Majesty, and should treat them as sons. But let me ask you again, the Battle of Dashun City was initiated by me and Mr. Cai. It seems huge, but with the support of merchants, the court did not allocate much money. After the Qingli War, Renzong rarely used troops, at most it was the rebellion of the South, and spent some money. At least, Nong Zhigao really occupied Lingnan and separatist. However, why did the consequences of not knowing the military revolution for 42 years was that the country owed more than 160 million!"
"Wang Ju, for a moment, was filled with 600,000 people in the northwest."
Isn't it about the consequences? This is the consequences.
"You have compiled this history book and recorded all the important affairs from the Warring States Period to the founding of our country. When Wu Zetian killed Cheng Wuxing, why did the Turks clap their hands to celebrate? Guo Gong went south and died so many military and civilians, but only defeated Jiaozhi... Or I am a butcher. Even if I was a butcher, would I have these two defeats if I were in the court at that time? Of course, the court was not me alone, and Zhang Zhifu was better at military affairs than me in the northwest. It was wrong for Emperor Minghuang of Tang to depose military affairs, but the soldiers attacked Tubo? Is it because he was defeated and the whole country surrendered? But how to fight again, so I don't go to the northwest, but first rectify the economy in the court. I grow up in economic and water conservancy, not military affairs. But I can't do this, and I can't do that. Or follow your arrangements, can you make this country prosperous and strong!" Wang Ju asked a series of questions.
