Chapter 748 Six Great Gifts (Part 2)(1/2)
"Your Majesty, how much gold and silver are there in the national treasury and the inner treasury?" Wang Ju asked.
Although the gold mine and the silver mine in Japan continuously provide gold and silver, and use trade differences to obtain a large amount of gold and silver from the West, money and silk are also needed within the other side.
And it is leveraging the economy of the entire Song Dynasty. At present, there seems to be a lot of gold and silver, but in fact there is not much.
"Wang Qing, the two warehouses can remit about 600,000 taels of gold and more than 4 million taels of silver." Zhao Xu said in his mind.
This shows two things.
Although he was defeated in the two battles, he did not consume all the two treasuries, which also means that Zhao Xu had reclaimed the rights, otherwise he would not have been so clear about the storage of the treasury.
"It seems that I have to find a few capable people to enter the Three Sessions." Wang Ju thought to himself.
Everyone handled the official business together, but Zhao Xu wanted to deal with it, but it couldn't do it anymore. Then, if you reduce your fatigue, you can live a few more years. Why do you have this idea? Just like Zhang Zai, if it were based on the historical trend, you would have died for several years. Because Wang Ju appeared, he lived a worry-free life, and he was open-minded again, and he still lived well.
"In this way, the establishment of the banking department is more secure," said Wang Ju.
This stacked up to 1,300 taels of gold and 1,300 taels of silver.
In fact, there are still many gold and silver among the people, which are recorded in the "Kaifeng Prefecture Profile":
Commander of Deputy Marshal Dajin’s Office:
The two common people vowed to offer one million gold ingots and five million silver ingots. First, they renewed the 247,600 taels of gold, and used their feelings to determine the 49,520 ingots, 7,728,000 silver, and 1,545,600 ingots. They did not want to follow the old rules of fifty taels and one hundred and four hundred and four hundred and eighty,000 ingots, and 1,545,600 ingots. They renewed the contract according to the common people, and they were allowed to pay 600,000 gold ingots and 7,700 ingots and 2,583,100 silver. They were given details. They still reduced 342,780 ingots and 871,300 silver ingots, and all the money was paid within five days. If they still hide in Yanji, the palace will enlist the troops to seek great demands. Do not regret it, and you must consult the command.
Kaifeng Prefecture is approved in the lower right corner.
On March 14, the fifth year of the Great Jin Tianhui.
Other sizes:
The common people in charge of the matter, Emperor Ji, the princess, one qualifying gold, one qualifying gold, one qualifying gold, one qualifying gold, one qualifying gold, one qualifying gold, one qualifying gold, one qualifying gold, one qualifying gold, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying daughter, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, one qualifying silver, five qualifying silver, ninety-eight concubines, twenty-eight concubines, twenty-eight concubines, the princess, fifty-two, and seventy-eight daughters.
There were 195 people from Zong Ji, who were entitled to 500 ingots of gold, and they received 225,500 ingots of gold. There were 1,241 people from clan, who were entitled to 200 ingots of gold, and they received 248,200 ingots of gold. There were 479 palace maids, 600 ingots of women, 2,910 ingots of women, 2,910 ingots of silver, and they received 1,587,700 ingots of silver. There were 2,000 ingots of women, and 1,314 ingots of women, and 2,310,000 ingots of silver. There were 3,310,000 ingots of gold, and 2,583,100 ingots of silver.
The two common people refer to the two emperors, and one ingot is fifty taels.
According to the oath, the two emperors were given a reward of 50 million taels of gold and 250 million taels of silver to the Jin Kingdom.
faint!
Are there so much gold and silver on the entire earth now?
The Song Dynasty had already paid 247,600 taels of gold and 7728,000 taels of silver to the Jin people, which was obviously not enough, so it plundered the city and found that it was not recorded, but the number of gold used "emotional" by the Jin people was 49,520 ingots (nearly 2.5 million taels) and 1545,600 ingots (more than 77 million taels).
It's still too much difference, what should I do? Use women to compensate, concubines, princesses, princesses, concubines, princesses, and daughters. The close branch Zongji can match five hundred ingots of gold, clan princesses can match two hundred ingots of gold, palace maids, picking girls, clan princesses can match five hundred ingots of gold, clan princesses, singing girls (mostly referring to more noble official prostitutes) can match two hundred ingots of gold, noble relatives, official and civilian daughters can match one hundred ingots of gold.
As a result, all the more qualified women in the city were mortgaged out, and there were still 342,780 gold ingots and 871,300 silver ingots that had not been paid off...
This is the greatest shame in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, a country that is not martial, no matter how big the country is or how many people are, it will end up miserable.
But it shows that there are countless gold and silver hidden in the homes of various wealthy men in the Song Dynasty.
Once the banking department is established, some gold and silver will also be stored in various banks.
"Yes," Zhao Xu said.
Wang Ju's eyes swept through the ministers, and most of these ministers were relieved.
After all, Wang Ju built a beautiful picture for them.
However, displeasure flashed in a few people's eyes. Not only the old party, but some new party were not happy with Wang Ju.
So Wang Ju said, "Everyone, because I had some martial arts skills in the past, some scholars, including Duke Wen, Duke Sun, and Duke An, did not like wars in the country, so they did not like me as well."
An Tao's face changed.
In fact, among the people present, not only An Tao, but also Li Qingchen, Minister of Personnel, Xie Jingwen, Minister of Revenue, and Zeng Gong of Taichang Temple, all opposed Wang Jukaibing.
But there are too many people who cannot point the finger at Wang Ju.
Actually, this is a sentence to Zhao Xu. Although you cleaned some people and some people didn’t clean them, I’m not very satisfied…
Zhao Xu would understand that if he had sincerity, this guy would also go down.
Although An Tao could not bring about great waves, Wang Ju needed to use An Tao to gain power.
Wang Ju continued: "I implemented the transformation of land and flow in the south, and divided the arable land and houses, which made some scholars and officials not happy about it, thinking that I wanted to implement the ancient well field system and equalize the rich and poor. In fact, I was wrong. If the rich and poor are truly equal, the people will have no motivation, and this country will not develop."
The big collective is a good lesson. A selfish side is better than a grand duke's side. Could it be so self-conscious?
"At that time, the powerful men of the barbarians in the south had land and soldiers, which was difficult for the court to control them, so they suppressed them and divided the homesteads together. Without land and wealth, even if there were barbarian chiefs, there was no power to cause trouble. Therefore, I was in charge of Guangdong and Guangxi at that time. The only way to Guangnan West Road. Tianjue, you have been to the other side. What are the taxes there? Please tell me to everyone."
The taxes there are absolutely commercial taxes.
Any commercial transaction, including mines, houses, workshops, and goods themselves, will be taxed in one city and 2% of the tax exceeding the tax. If there is a tax on other cities within a province, there will be a tax on one more tax. If there is a tax on the other side, there will be two taxes on the other side. If there is a tax on the other side, whether it is the Song Dynasty, Japan or the big food, there will be a tax on one more tax on one more tax.
Then there was nothing.
However, in order to evade taxes, the clerk has the right to raise questions. For example, if A wants to buy the house of B, the house is worth 100 jin. The two of them have combined, let’s save some taxes. The quotation is ten jin. When the clerk sees the price is unreasonable, he immediately raises questions, but prevents the clerk from exploiting him. He has the right to question and does not have the right to deal with it. He needs to report to the officials in the town immediately. The town sends officials to investigate. If it is a fact, a certain proportion of commendation will be immediately given to the clerk who questioned it.
As for both parties who evade taxes, they will be beaten and fined at the least, the middle will be disbursed, and the worst will be abandoned.
Of course, there is also supervision over officials. In addition to the inspection team coming to investigate, the people are also encouraged to report illegal corruption complaining about local officials, and to protect and commend the people who report.
There will be people who are greedy. But don’t let everyone discover it, even the common people cannot let them discover it. Otherwise, the officials will end up tragic. At the very least, they will be dismissed from office, and at the worst, they will be beheaded!
In fact, the tax ratio is not too high.
It’s like pitting mines. After paying a tax rate of 5%, there is no need to pay any lessons. The government wants to buy ore, and the two parties negotiate. If the mine owner does not agree with the price, he has the right not to sell it. Wang Anshi scores 28%, and the court still gets 20% of lessons.
But there is only one thing, that is, the protection of arable land and pasture land.
If the city is expanded or the occupation of pit mines and workshops, each mu of land needs to be compensated for five guan, Nakada Sanguan and Shimota Ichi. If a private person wants to purchase and merge, Ukada Ichi, must pay two guan, Nakada Ichi, and Shimota Ichi.
In fact, how expensive is the farmland on the other side?
Not to mention that each family has divided so many lands, and when each family grows up, they report to the government. My family has many children and each grows up. Then, they are allowed to separate the households after getting married, and then go to the Xinkaidai District to redistribute the cultivated land to their children who have grown up.
But why do this? The people of the Central Plains still attach too much importance to arable land, even if they migrate to the other side. Without this heavy tax, the land would be vast and sparsely populated, and perhaps after more than ten years of primitive accumulation, many families with good conditions would start to merge arable land on a large scale.
After Zhang Shangying finished introducing the article, Wang Ju asked again: "Tianjue, except for the poor, are there absolutely equal wealth and poverty?"
Zhang Shangying shook his head: "Although there are few wealthy families, there are many wealthy families. Otherwise, they would not have assets to buy pit mine workshops and buy various industries. Your Majesty, this time, so much gold and silver was brought back from the other side, not only from trade, but also from these maritime merchants sold a large number of workshops and pit mine industries, and they only collected the gold and silver."
This has to be made clear, otherwise these ministers would think there would be a lot of income overseas.
Everyone was silent.
Wang Ju said again: "So, the business tax is not equal to the rich and poor. On the contrary, because it stimulates more people to be rich and has a rich environment, the rich will become richer, but they have eliminated some businessmen with crooked trajectories. The other side is the best example. Now the time is short and the population is small. In more than ten years, I believe that in addition to the non-Haike Alliance, a group of wealth will also appear. And the third gift will make many people richer!"
After Wang Ju said that, he waved his hand again.
Dozens of seamen lifted many large boxes from another ship, then opened the boxes and started to install a huge machine.
"Your Majesty, it's the steam engine."
Everyone looked at it.
Just placed on the test ship cannot represent its function.
But Wang Ju regards it as a gift, and lists it with so much gold and silver and such important food, which probably has other important functions.
Installed in a while.
And there is also a thick iron pipe inserted in Wuzhang Hanoi.
One person lit the carbohydrate in the boiler and added water to the furnace above.
After waiting for a while, the various machinery began to rotate under the steam.
Then a large amount of river water was sprayed out from the huge iron pipe.
Almost everyone's eyes lit up.
This is not the slow pumping of water trucks, which is too fast.
Wang Ju made a gesture, and the servants took off the carbonite and the steam engine slowly stopped.
"This is its first function. It prevents drought and discharges, and can also pump water for each pit ore."
The earliest steam engine was not invented by Watt. The inventor is said to be a Sakran iron named Newkman. French physicist Papan made the first sample, while the British Seville made it practical for the first time, that is, pumping water.
But it has nothing to do with irrigation, but mine pumping.
Now the Song Dynasty also needs it.
Especially coal mines are the most miserable because they are coal strata, which is not as strong as other pit mines and is most likely to cause landslide accidents.
Moreover, it is harmful to gas, so it is not enough to take defense measures. Often, some sealed high-concentration gas is chiseled open with one hammer. When it encounters oxygen in the air, it will explode immediately.
In addition to the damage of gas, it is the damage of groundwater.
Although the Song Dynasty pit mine could not be as deep as thousands of meters, it was also very deep after the promotion of gunpowder. Once groundwater is poured in, everyone will be helpless and a huge pit mine will be announced to be scrapped.
However, with the steam engine, this problem can be solved.
Of course, irrigation and discharge are more effective than pit mines. The north and mountainous areas are irrigation and drought resistance, while the south dike areas are evacuated. With it, the efficiency will be dozens and hundreds of times higher than the original water truck! And the operation of a steam engine is equivalent to saving dozens or hundreds of people slowly using water trucks, which undoubtedly saves a lot of manpower.
But it's not just this function.
Wang Ju signaled again, and dozens of people carried out a machine again and began assembly.
To be continued...
