"Your Majesty, there is a reason why I haven't reported it. Before I went south, I was the only one in my family at that time. Later, I taught my children and there were more people in my family. But they were teachers and students, not my servants. Most of the time I bought vegetables and cooked, I felt very strange. Why did the beef in the market continue to be continuous and the amount was large? Are the cattle in my dynasty easy to die? After going south, I saw that there was still be beef in various towns, but the price was a little cheaper. After I arrived in Hunan, I saw that many people used human power to pull the plow, and I thought of checking the cattle."

"So thoughtful." Zhao Kuangyi said coldly.

"The two kings, the Wei minister never claims to be gentlemen, good people, and good ministers. They just ask not to harm others and do not do bad things. Moreover, the Wei minister has so many things, if you see something, you have to ask and investigate it, and the Wei minister is not energetic enough."

"Second brother, don't interrupt, let him say it."

"When I saw the profits, I thought about it, but I didn't think of a good way. After I went to the Three Departments, I still didn't think of a good way. After reading various reports, I still didn't think of a good way. I had thought that the court could not count large livestock such as cattle, donkey, mule, camel, horses into property, increase taxes for households, and increase taxes on these large livestock, and increase the enthusiasm of the people for raising them. It will play a role, but it cannot reduce the profit. Besides, the state's taxation is always levied, and so many expenses cannot be taxed. If the tax is reduced, it will increase in other aspects and increase the city tax. The cost of building a house is high and the housing cost is high, and the people will not be willing to build a house. This consequence will be terrible. Building a house requires craftsmen and wood. If bricks and tiles are built, bricks and tiles are needed, and a house can support many people, making many people rich, and the country can also impose some commercial taxes. If no one builds a house, these industries will be gone.

The taxation of households has gradually decreased, and taxes have to be increased in other aspects. This has also produced many chain reactions. If it increases the tax, it will inevitably hide the dynasty like the Tang Dynasty. Some people say that the wealth was less than nine million households in Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty. Do you believe that the number of dynasty was hidden? The number of dynasty was hidden, and the remaining dynasty was either half of the tax could not be taxed, or half of the taxes became heavier. Until Huang Chao... or add to the land, then the field must be hidden. Why do our dynasty only have half of the country, which is higher than Tianbao's income, but the people do not complain? That is two words, evenly spread. Weichen does not know how to save the tax generated by the cattle and spread it in that aspect. If we talk about the drawbacks, the national disadvantages are more than this. There are disadvantages in all aspects, so we can only think about the benefits. Weichen cannot think of it, and his energy is limited, and there is only one way to solve it, that is, not to think about it. Otherwise, Weichen must be confused. Weichen cannot think of it, how to report it?"

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while and said to Chu Zhaofu: "Chu Qing, please ask the three departments to check it. If the tax on various large livestock is saved, it will probably be reduced by two taxes."

Liu Wensou stood up and asked, "Song Jiu, if there is really a seven-fold benefit, why is there still a bull in the world?"

"Liu Zhongcheng asked well. What our dynasty has implemented is the ancient system. No one is allowed to slaughter live cattle. If the cattle dies unexpectedly or dies old, the culprit is making a certificate with the chief of the elders, and they can be slaughtered and sold or eaten. If there is no accident, this system will continue until the cattle withdraws from the stage of cultivating."

"Stop, stop, why do cows withdraw from the stage of cultivating?"

"Your Majesty, you looked at those pictures that day. Some of them were put away. I did not explain it, but Your Majesty still remembers the patterns in the fields? That is the machine for cultivating and harvesting. Your Majesty, that's still early, maybe hundreds of years later. I'm still talking about cows. Why are there cows? First of all, I'll talk about the values ​​of the people. The people are not merchants, and even we are not merchants. This beef is expensive, I believe it is not our dynasty, and the beef in the Tang Dynasty is not cheap, the Sui Dynasty, the Han Dynasty... why hasn't anyone pointed it out?"

“Why?”

"Since ancient times, men are very cooks, and rarely cook outside, let alone buy groceries. After becoming an official, they will not touch the kitchen. They don't even touch the kitchen. How can they know the price of beef and think about it? Even if someone touches it, it is not a related responsibility, so why bother to do it? Just like Weichen, if he touches it, he even burns it, and goes south again. If it weren't for Chu Situ, Weichen wouldn't say it either. What's the use of it, but it can't be solved."

"Why are there any cows in the world?"

"Your Majesty, I'm saying that even the ministers and workers are like this. Besides, the common people. How expensive is beef is not because the people benefit, but because the merchants benefit. But the merchants do not benefit all of them. This is a forbidden thing, a matter of doing evil, and they have to make money. Therefore, there is not much money in the hands of the people. Some people in remote areas do not know the values ​​at all, and some are very cruel in the barbarian areas. Why do merchants still enter? Because they have profits, they don't know that a penny of goods can be exchanged for dozens of cents of goods, so merchants take the risk to enter. This is one of the first things. The second things are some cows in the Hakka, and they want them to enter.

Realizing the benefits of cattle, they raise cattle, and even when they satisfy themselves, they rent cattle to others to cultivate. They just want to satisfy themselves. If there are too many, the cattle will die inexplicably. It is not enough, nor too little. If it happens, even if the beef is sold for 100 cents per pound, they will not let the cattle die. The third is the main household, these people have the power to pay less taxes, or want to avoid taxes, but the population is sparse. If you want tenants to rent their land and want to pay rent, you must have cattle in your hands. No matter how expensive the beef is, the profit is not as good as their land rent. Moreover, the land rent is levied once a year and 2 a year. Therefore, there are cattle in the world!"

"There are cows in the world, but cows will always be scarce?"

"Your Majesty, I am exactly what I mean. I am talking about another set of data. Cattle can usually live for more than twenty years. Of course, it is good for the cattle in our dynasty to live for ten years on average. Two-year-old cows can be bred, especially scalpers. They can give birth to five to seven calves in one child, and the breeding time is more than ten years. Their reproduction speed is far more than twice or three times that of humans. Why has it been scarce to cows since ancient times?"

After Song Jiu finished speaking, he held up his teeth scepter and retreated.

I have to play, and I have so many ministers, I have nothing to do with them.

And the meaning is clearly stated, it’s not that I don’t think about it, I can’t think of a good idea after thinking about it, and it has been like this for nearly a thousand years, and it seems that it will still be like this in the future. This is a real more than a thousand years. How many talented people and strangers have not solved it, how can I solve it in my own hands?

A civil servant came out and said, "Your Majesty, how about setting up a cattle prison like a horse prison and breed it in large quantities?"

Song Jiu couldn't help but stand up and said, "If so, go to the Muslim Supervisor first to take a look. Not to mention how many horses were raised by officials and how much greedy they were in the middle, just say how to raise them. How to deal with these cattle? I clearly said that no matter how expensive the cattle they raise, they will still raise them. Those who don't raise don't have money to send to them, and they will die inexplicably. Or the government will run the cattle directly to the people. How many disadvantages arise in this? Cai Chen and other states have rented cattle. It's not far away. Please go down and visit them by yourself. The money of the Sansi is useful, and don't waste the Sansi money."

The state's income is steadily increasing, and state expenditure is also increasing. Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what he thought, not only put the money and silk obtained by Bashu and Jingnan into the inner treasury, but also pulled some income from the Sansi to the inner treasury, and even let the inner treasury operate directly, such as the inner treasury.

This draw can only keep Sansi balanced. When the left hand comes in and the right hand goes out. If you use money randomly, Sansi will inevitably lose money.

At this moment, the little yellow gate walked in and hurriedly fell down to report: "Your Majesty, I just asked."

"what?"

"The year is approaching, and beef is even more expensive. One pound is sold for 80 to 95 cents. Not only that, beef bones, cow skin, cow five internal organs, cow blood, cow whip, horns, and ox tails can be sold. I asked again how much pure beef can get, and the vendor was surprised. I was afraid that he would suspect it, so I paid for a few pounds of beef." Xiaohuangmen said as he took out a string of bloody beef from his arms.

"You just talk about how much beef can be."

"I bought beef and the vendor was in a good mood, so I chatted with me a few more. He said I should see, if the beef is not much, and I die of old age, I will definitely be skinny and the meat is very unpalatable. I also taught me how to distinguish the old and dead cow. Some of those kind of cows are less than 200 kilograms and they cannot be cooked. If the bull died accidentally, there would be more beef, some are 250 kilograms, some are 300 kilograms, and some are 300 kilograms. If it is a southern buffalo even more than 300 kilograms, more than 400 kilograms. When I came back, I thought on the way that the three-cake cows mentioned by Judge Song were not old kilograms, but strong kilograms, and I could only count them as the strong kilograms. Then I calculated that it was not the twenty-cake coins mentioned by Judge Song. If the other parts of the cow were added together, at least four-cake coins would have to be increased."

"You retreat," Zhao Kuangyin said, glanced at the beef.

Huangmen tactfully took the beef and retreated.

Zhao Kuangyin said, "Retreat the court and follow me to the banquet."

Then let's have a meal, but Song Jiu could not think of it even if he had a hundred meals.

Everyone was waiting for the meal in the Houyuan and began to discuss.

Chu Zhaofu said: "Song Jiu, if vendors are prohibited from selling beef, even if the beef rots, they will not be allowed to sell it?"

"Chu Si Envoy, it's useless. Our dynasty and Khitan have stopped trading?"

"Yes, any exchanges between the two countries are prohibited?"

"But you also went to the Shun Restaurant and saw various ingredients in it, including Feilong. In fact, it is a specialty hazel grouse from Khitan, and some ingredients, including most of the bear paws. Where do they come from?"

"Khitan?"

"It's the Khitan. Because it's delicious and expensive in the capital, they are expensive. Therefore, some people bought it specially, and then rode a horse and quickly transported it to remote areas on the border. They also bought some border soldiers, which were small in quantity, and handed it over to our merchants on the border. So these mountain delicacies and delicious foods were continuously transported to the capital and some other cities. That was a death sentence and it was not banned. Could the Chusi envoy sell two kilograms of beef and also execute the vendors? Then what is the difference between our dynasty and the Qin Dynasty?"

Not only Chu Zhaofu, but some ministers also proposed that they were rejected by Song Jiu. Some people even proposed to ban people from eating beef. Song Jiu also asked back: "First, how to sentence them if you eat beef? Is it a death sentence or a cane-fighting? Second, is the death penalty effective? Pufferfish is poisonous and can easily cause poisoning to die if you eat it. Every year, how many diners eat it?"

But Song Jiu quickly shut up. If Chu Zhaofu said that banning the seller was still an idea, not allowing the people to eat beef was not an idea, but an idiot, and arguing with him was also an idiot. So he admired the scenery in the palace.

I'm still thinking after dinner.

Some people want to show that they are talking nonsense. Most ministers are very wise. They can't think of it and simply don't say it. Song Jiu didn't say it either. He was impatient and ran to the distance. Two palace maids were sweeping the floor and falling leaves. They were dressed very simply, and they were probably the lowest-class palace maid in the palace. A palace maid was twenty-five or six years old. When he saw Song Jiu, he bowed slightly and asked, "You are Song Jiulang?"

Song Jiu nodded.

"I am the daughter of the Hebei families in Dongshuimen."

"I understand, you are the women like a woman in the palace?"

"Kyuro also knows?"

"Your father and brother and brother used to do work on my construction site, and your brother even summoned him to the playground to do work."

"Really?" The palace maid covered her mouth happily. When she entered the deep palace, it was like entering a large prison cell. However, there were also small yellow gates in the palace to buy various life needs, and she could bring in the news outside. The palace maid also heard about the treatment of Song Jiu's employment.

"Don't worry, your father, brother and brother are all fine. This is this year, construction will start next year, and people will be summoned. The lives of the people in Dongshuimen will get better and better."

"Thank you Jiuro."

Another little palace maid asked excitedly: "Judge Song, is that playground really fun?"

"It's okay."

In fact, the tickets for amusement parks may not be as small as 200 cents, but the number of tourists may not be as small as the number of tourists is less. If it is less, the income will increase and the pressure will be reduced. In the end, Song Jiu did not do this. If that happens, for poor families, the amusement park can only be a dream, lying outside to take a look. The tickets are still expensive for poor households, but if a family has an elderly man, a couple, two children, one older and one younger, this is the standard model in the capital. The elderly don’t have money, and the children don’t have money. As long as you pay 600 cents, the family of five can have fun for a day. If you think the food inside is expensive and the drinks are expensive, you can bring it yourself, and there is no prohibition on the people from taking food and water. It is still expensive, but it can make them a reality, save oneself, and you can also play and have happiness.

However, for these palace maids, it can only be considered a dream.

The little palace maid was very curious and asked non-stop.

Song Jiu answered without saying a word, "Anyway, there is nothing to do, so it's fun to chat." Suddenly, the two palace maids hurriedly picked up the broom and continued to sweep the floor.

Song Jiu turned his head and saw that Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu were walking here.

Zhao Kuangyin shouted, "Song Jiu, you are very brave."

"Your Majesty, reasoning is great, the world is great, the truth is the greatest." Song Jiu said disdainfully. The two ordinary palace maids who had made trouble now have no rules. They say a few words in front of so many people, so they are brave and brave.

"Everyone is thinking about Niu Ce, why did you run here to relax?"

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it. If I could think of it, even if there was an effect, I would have said it. It was not in the memorial, but in the diaries of Hunan."

"Is there no way?"

"No."

"There are no evil people?"

"There are no crooked doors and slants...? Neither."

Zhao Kuangyin hooked up at the two palace maids, and the two palace maids walked over to see him.

"What are your names?"

"Soist Su Xiaoyu."

"I'm going to be a slave."

"You are maids in the palace, and you actually dare to hook up with my ministers."

"Your Majesty, I dare not, but my family is in Dongshuimen. I asked Judge Song what my family is like, and I don't have any hooks..."

"Your Majesty, I understand. I can think about it again, but Your Majesty will put the ministers home. It's dusk and it's useless to lock in the palace. If you can think of it, the Han and Tang dynasties will come up with a good plan. Also, the simple ones may not be simple, the complex ones may not be complicated. It seems simple, but it is actually very complicated. I can only try it. It won't work at the end of this year. I must go down to take a look in February next year. Your Majesty wants to give me a month off. At the same time, I'm sure I'm sure I'm looking at various pastoral supervisors, including some public and private pastures in Hedong, Shaanxi, Hebei, and some places in the Huaihe River in Shandong and Henan. There is no need to inspect it, but Your Majesty asks you to issue an edict to cooperate with me for consultation."

"Why do you think about the herds and prisons? Do you also think that raising a court is a good strategy?"

"If the imperial court raises horses without dead every year, it is a good idea. Can the horseman's prison achieve the horses' undead horses? In short, it seems simple and complicated. I just went down to see it, and the possibility of finding a solution is less than half a matter of success, but after going down to see it, I still can't figure out a solution. The court should not be entangled in this matter, anyway, it has been like this for thousands of years."

"I'll give it."

"Your Majesty, I have another saying to me. I am as people say. Women are kind and have too soft-hearted, but the palace maids are not slaves of me. Although they have a humble status, they are slaves of your majesty. You cannot use them to force me..."
