The main four aspects of national income in the Song Dynasty were: the first was two taxes, that is, agricultural taxes. In fact, agricultural taxes were heavier than those in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Its source was a bit complicated. One was seven grains of millet, rice, wheat, and ten silk products such as silk, silk, and yarn. The third was four metal products such as gold, silver, iron and copper. The fourth was six types of products such as livestock and leather, tea and salt. Therefore, its unit of measurement was piping stone parts, etc.

Normally, it is more than 30 million, but when it is powerful, it is more than 40 million. In the tenth year of Xining, it was once 52 million. If this part is exchanged for money, it will be at least 60% to 70% of the price. That's it, it is far higher than that of the Tang Dynasty. But why do people in the Song Dynasty live better than the Han and Tang Dynasties? There are several reasons why the tax rate is increased. Can the Tang Dynasty collect taxes like the five surnames and seven families? At least in name, more than 90% of the large households in the Song Dynasty have to pay taxes to a higher level, which is also the reason for the increase in hidden fields. If the fields are hidden, how can they be collected? The number of people is more than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the total number increases. If the average number of people is spread out, it may not increase. In the end, the labor service will be reduced. In addition, most areas have abolished the gang system and allowed the people to move freely. In a sense, the common people living in the Song Dynasty are much happier than in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

It is also because the quantity is not as large as the actual stock, and it seems to be huge, but it actually accounts for a small proportion of revenue.

But it should be noted that the two taxes in the three departments do not represent the overall agricultural tax of farmers, but also have additional taxes, such as additional consumption, principal money, and unrestrained charity rice, accompanying money, land money, salt money, cowhide money, artemisia money, etc., and some disguised labor. During the Huangyou period, Zheng Lang only abolished the principal money and additional consumption, but many bad officials used other names to add it to the people. The reason is also very simple, this belongs to local income from fiscal revenue!

The three departments have 40 million a year. The actual tax paid by the people is likely to reach 560 million, so Zheng Lang told Sima Guang that no matter what the finances are, with the current economic situation, it is never possible to cancel the two taxes.

The second is the franchise, salt, wine, tea, alum fragrance, and the latter three are ignored, mainly wine and salt. At the beginning of the Qingli period, there were only more than four million briquettes, and later it was more and more due to war. It once reached nearly 20 million briquettes, and after Huangyou, it fell again, with only more than 8 million briquettes. Later, it rose to more than 10 million briquettes. In history, it reached more than 22 million briquettes during Yuanfeng, and during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, it once reached 25 million briquettes. More than 30 million briquettes. The alcohol tax was also quite large, which fluctuated between 12 million briquettes and 18 million briquettes. Because it was calculated by actual briquettes, if the two taxes were light, the franchise alone would far exceed the income of the two taxes.

The third is commercial tax. The commercial tax mentioned by the court mostly refers to the tax collection of past goods, that is, the current tax collection and tax collection. There are also part of the business tax belonging to local finances, home tax, land tax, and field tax of each supervisory department, ship tax, and mining tax. This part can only be considered as the tax collection of the former, and the average number of the most is nearly 2,000 yuan. The fewer is ** million yuan. In fact, if the latter is included, it is far more than that. Tax collection may account for less than half.

The fourth point is often overlooked. This part is the income of each supervisory department. These supervisors are mainly responsible for levying tea, salt and wine tax, mining management, shipbuilding, and warehouses. Some are custody, some have expenditures and income. For example, shipbuilding, part is for national use, some are for sale of the people, and some are for real income. For example, some pastoral supervisors rent the people for farming, such as some official real estate, building stores, houses and houses for profit, such as taxes to buy bamboo farms, and major pit mines, especially pit mines, are also quite expensive. At this time, the Song Dynasty paid tens of millions of kilograms of metal a year, and the real profit was as huge as millions of dollars. However, the mining industry was also scattered into various departments, some were directly operated, some were taxed, and overseas safety supervision.

The fifth part is to buy and buy and sell, and buy and sell at the same time. In theory, it is mainly about economic adjustment, but in fact it is often mainly about profit.

The sixth part is local finance, which is a scattered wealth accumulation of the above five, which is under the jurisdiction of the three departments and is distributed by local governments. This part of the income is the most hidden and often produces many gray areas.

In fact, as long as you clearly list it into a table, you can see that those who are conserving the people, those who are just increasing, and those who are not just decreasing. The same is true for expenditures.

The statistics are listed once a year and published in newspapers. They are not only allowed to be read by officials, but also to the people of the world, which plays a role in supervising in a certain sense.

I came out a little late this year, mainly because Zheng Lang and Sima Guang came back and filled in with the officials. The second reform was over, which played a role in soothing people's hearts.

But Wu Chong was not very good at business, and it took some time to count. Until today, Wu Chong led his officials to count them one by one and list them one by one.

First, there were two taxes, and the management period was only more than 30 million yuan. In particular, Hebei once only collected 30% of the taxes, which may not benefit the people. Most of the people were powerful. The two taxes reached more than 41 million yuan the year before, but last year it rose to more than 45 million yuan. It is normal. The hidden fields found only reached more than one million yuan. When the hidden fields came out, the two taxes would inevitably increase. The increase was not much. In a sense, the taxes were levied less than the previous year.

Zheng Lang frowned. If we calculate the land acre, even if it is 50 million, the two taxes will not be levied too much. But there is an important factor in the middle. Who is the one who is the one who is not slight? The people are still the few who are the ones who are not slight. If 45 million is out, it may not benefit the people.

Next is a franchise, with more than 29 million and commercial tax, with more than 19 million. The new commercial tax has led to a surge in commercial tax and has not been strictly implemented, otherwise it can double. But it is this commercial tax that has led to many people's opposition.

The fourth part of the income reached more than 38 million, which was the surprise that Zheng Lang brought to the Song Dynasty. Although there were the original income of each department and supervisor, the main source was the several major supervisors launched by Zheng Lang. Wu Chong reported one by one, one was the income of Ping An Supervision. Zhengjiazhuang was experimenting with some new mining and smelting technologies, and used them one by one to the pit mines. In addition, some unnecessary officials were laid off, Ping An Supervision's income increased by more than one million yuan last year. A lot of it was almost able to save the annual tribute to the Khitan and Xixia. There were also the bank supervisors who barely repaid the debts of the river workers and saved more than 6 million yuan in dividends.

The fifth part has a profit of more than 8 million, but it is hard to say. There is no calculation of various service, military service, and the costs of officials. The sixth part has a profit of more than 7 million, so I can't figure it out clearly. There is only so much statistics.

The total revenue was more than 153 million, an increase of more than 20 million over the previous year.

It is already faintly approaching the peak period of Jiayoushi's income. If the various incomes brought by Zheng Lang, including the various supervisors and the south, the actual income will be only more than 110 million, which is not considered as conserving the people.

The next one is expenditure, which is mixed, excluding the cost of layoffs. It only started to lay off troops after last fall, so various expenditures still reached more than 140 million, nearly 20 million less than the previous year. If there is no cost of layoffs, the surplus has begun.

But... but the subsequent expenditures made everyone worry. The effect of more than 50 million yuan spent on the layoffs and resettlement process was amazing. In addition to a few soldiers who were incorporated into the village, a total of more than 200,000 banned soldiers were laid off. If the various village archers included the 160,000 brave men, a total of nearly 600,000 archers were included in the 160,000 brave men, it was a good thing. However, due to the layoffs, 40 million yuan was used for money from New Year's Day after last autumn alone.

The fiscal policy is still in deficit, and the deficit is still reaching nearly 30 million.

If it is effective, the world will be in debt, including withdrawal of funds (to taxes for the capable people in advance for several years), it will truly reach more than 300 million. If it includes the previous transfer of the treasury, it will gradually reach four.

Zhao Xu looked at Zheng Lang and asked, "Zheng Qing, the country's deficit is getting heavier, can there be a good solution?"

"Your Majesty, I will definitely not be able to take this deficit with my own strength, and I will work hard together." Zheng Lang replied calmly.

In fact, he knew it. The solution was nothing more than one section and two, and saving money was the top priority. Even if a large number of officials were reorganized last year, the officials were still complicated and they supported a large number of redundant officials. However, the expansion of Guangdong and Guangxi also destined to restore the official expenses to the time of Huangyou. It can only be seen that the government orders became smooth after the reform. Whether this part of the increase in the salary of officials can be saved by saving unnecessary floating expenses. The redundant soldiers were ruthless this time and will take effect around the end of the year. There is still room, such as increasing the number of township soldiers with more cost-effective expenses and further reducing the number of illegal soldiers, but Zheng Lang dared not say that. Local control of heavy troops was the most feared thing for the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. Or further reducing the relevant bows and arrows The soldiers and the brave men released them and devoted themselves to production. The increase in royal family expenses gradually became a current drawback in the Song Dynasty. Either it would reduce the evasion of various local and commercial taxes by large and powerful people. Further clarify the positions of various positions, implement a false responsibility system, and reduce waste. This waste is not only a waste of other state expenses, but also a cost of officials, such as expensive business trips, or military expenses, such as huge losses in transporting food to the northwest. The rest is open source. This open source is not an open source like Wang Anshi, or even the prisons he introduced himself, but has introduced some policies to encourage the development of industry and commerce and increase the proportion of commercial taxes. Therefore, commercial tax is the top priority.

But didn't say it.

Some people say it will arouse more opposition from everyone, while others are not easy to say, for example, if you talk about profit at all times, is it okay to leave this profit? However, some scholars and officials believe that it is ashamed to talk about profit.

Even today's situation, Zheng Lang made great contributions. Not only did he deliberately join the court in normal times, but he could not concentrate on government affairs, which accelerated the corruption. It also included some practices after entering the Secretariat. For example, some vulnerable groups would be liable if they were liable. Now the court has recognized them one by one, including the money embezzled by some officials. There are also be benevolent governments, such as two taxes. In the past, the two taxes were collected on 300 million mu of arable land. Now, with Guangdong and Guangxi, and the more than 100 million acres of hidden land that can be levied, it can be levied to a huge amount of 55 million, but Zheng Lang repeatedly demanded lenient government, only 40 million were recruited. For example, the layoffs are the system, and the country is so embarrassing. Most of the layoffs are just a waste of money and the elderly, the weak and the sick, and some are unwilling to join the army. If they are tight, they can use at least more than 10 million yuan in less money. When one in and out, the 40 million yuan is gone, and the court will bear it.

If it is not so bad, the reform cannot be implemented. If it is not done well, it will continue to be implemented and will be overturned several years later.

Zheng Lang thought of the reforms in history. At first, Wang Anshi was more marketable than Sima Guang. Sima Guang said it was very obscure. Everyone saved money together and tightened their belts to live. This is the fundamental. The fact is the fundamental, but Sima Guang was very smart and dared not say how to save money. No matter what the qualities were, they would offend a large number of people. That's it, some people smelled the charm of it, so the approval rating was not high. Relatively speaking, although Wang Anshi received the sticks from Han Wei and others, he was still not as good as Sima Guang. Sima Guang's performance in governance won a lot of applause, which was something that Wang Anshi could not raise at home. But Wang Anshi said that the country could not be used for the country without adding taxes, which means that from the officialdom to the people, he could still live a luxurious life before. BMW was opened, Moutai was drunk, and Xiaomi was raised, so the literati supported him and quickly got promoted. But is it possible?

Even though Zheng Lang had been conceiving since he was a teenager, had decades of political experience, decades of reflection on his family and country, and countless golden fingers, leading the ideological understanding of a thousand years. Can he bypass the level of quarantine?

Zhao Xu is not surprised. Zheng Lang did a good job, but unfortunately there was only one Zheng Lang.

He looked down again. Since Zeng Gongliang, Zeng Gongliang lowered his head. This is not a joke. More than 300 million croakers. If you buy cows, you can buy 100 million croakers. The head and tail can be connected from the earth to the moon. If you buy rice, you can buy 500 million stones of rice even in the capital. The wheat is almost 1 billion stones. The people of the Song Dynasty can eat it for two or three years without ploughing or planting. If you do another epic river craft, you can find tens of millions of croakers.

There was no good plan, so I had to bow my head.

Zhao Xu had no choice but to continue looking down. Almost all the ministers hung their heads and dared not speak out. One thing Zheng Lang had realized his wish, and the waste caused by this increase and severance wasted. No one dared to increase the number of ban troops in the future.

When Zhao Xu saw Ouyang Xiu, he asked, "What do you mean by Ouyang Qing?

"Your Majesty, I think it's not urgent. The river craftsmanship was from nothing to something, and finally succeeded. The burden was almost the same as the river craftsmanship. The court's finances will be healthy in a few years," Ouyang Xiu said, complaining in his heart, what does it have to do with me? The biggest responsibility is your father. If your father hadn't started to make trouble when he was a prince, how could the national government be like this! Of course, I dare not say it.

"Will you be healthy in a few years? Two or three years before the start of the river engineering, the court was preparing for four years. It took six or seven years, or six or seven years under the national financial health. Even so, I owe more than 90 million! I don't know what it means, and interest..." Zhao Xu said this, covering his chest, and he didn't want to strip the people. Whether it was a debt or a withdrawal, he was a second-class and below account without power. Therefore, he agreed to Zheng Lang's advice and gave some interest slightly lower than the bank, but even if it was a little lower, he would have millions of interest a year, and most of the salt franchise was gone.

After a while, he said, "Let's go, let's go."

But he didn't ask Ouyang Xiu in his heart, which finally made Ouyang Xiu feel disheartened and wrote his resignation the next day.

In a hurry, Zhao Xu did not try to keep him and asked Ouyang Xiu to be released to Zibo.

Zheng Lang didn't care much about this. He had proposed to let Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo and Chen Xu return to the court because he was afraid that someone would attack him to be nepotist. The two reforms involved many personnel changes. The subsequent reforms did not have much connection with personnel changes. Whether Ouyang Xiu was in the court or not was no longer important to him. On the contrary, because Ouyang Xiu looked for trouble from time to time, it brought some obstacles to him to a greater or lesser extent.

He was thinking about one thing, how to make the original developed business of the Song Dynasty more developed.

It has nothing to do with monopoly, and it must not be monopoly. The emergence of large capitalists is conducive to the utilization of capital, but it is not conducive to the Song Dynasty.

This is not capitalism. Most people who are qualified to monopolize can have the ability to avoid taxes by more than 95%. The cruel people are unwilling to hand over a hair to the court.

If all became monopoly capital, no matter how developed private capital was, the state finance of the Song Dynasty would be over. I was thinking about the development of small and medium-sized capital. Only small and medium-sized capital could make the country truly obtain taxes.

At the same time, blindly talking about profit will also be impeached by some people.

It is quite difficult to avoid these two things and make private industry and commerce more developed.

At this time, Zhao Xu issued an edict to announce the state's financial situation. Zhao Xu passed the obstacles in his heart and saw many benefits. If he actively became transparent, he could see that the monarch and ministers were working hard to correct the national shortcomings. Seeing that the national finance was so difficult and that the people had not yet been given the burden on the people, the people would be more loyal to the country. Seeing that the country was in trouble, they would cooperate with the reform. Seeing that the country was making progress bit by bit. There were some problems with the country.

Then I issued an edict to let the subjects of the world have good strategies, contribute to the court, and work together.

Although the income and expenditure situation is gradually reversing, the huge debt still makes Zhao Xu breathless and is really anxious.

At this moment, Wang Anshi wrote a letter.

In the early Song Dynasty, the finance department was under the control of the Three Divisions. The Ministry of Revenue, the Duzhi Department, and the Salt and Iron Department each set up envoys, deputy envoys, judges, and Kongmu officials, all of whom were seduced and promoted officials, and they did not govern each other. Because it was extremely inconvenient, a general envoy was appointed during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong. This was the Three Division envoys, and the Deputy envoys and judges were also appointed. The Three Division envoys had command power over the officials of the Three Divisions, but they did not have the power to remove them, nor did they have the power to reward and punish them. However, the officials of the Three Divisions could directly speak out and criticize the chiefs of the Three Divisions, forming mutual supervision and restraint. After the reform, Zheng Lang asked the Three Divisions to slightly increase the power of the Three Divisions to increase their powers, and had the power to reward and punish them, but still did not have the right to remove officials of the Three Divisions. Or the power to command and transfer was clarified so as to clarify the division of labor.

But this organization is very large, such as salt and iron divided into troops, helmets, commercial taxes, salt, tea, iron, seven cases, and rewards, money, silk, grain, Changping, shipping, cavalry, hudou, and eight cases of officials. The household part is household tax, offering, building, qu, and food. There are also departments such as accounting check, debt management, expenditure, and distribution. Zheng Lang stuffed them into Ping Safety Supervision, Banking Supervision and Arsenal Supervision and some departments entered the Third Division. Zheng Lang's idea cannot be said to be wrong. These are all financial incoming and outgoing units, and handed over to the Third Division together to facilitate unified mobilization of the Third Division.

However, there is one disadvantage: Guangdong must report to the Secretariat for major matters to the Ministry of Education before applying for the application for the application. The official documents need to go through many departments, but it is still inconvenient.

Although after the reform, the business was not Wu Chong's strength, and some systems after the reform were different from the original ones, the government affairs of the three departments were somewhat stagnant. For example, this time, the three departments were not fast and were more than ten days late before the accounts were found. Wang Anshi even suspected that the accounts would not be properly handled and many mistakes would occur.

Seeing the country's financial difficulties, Wang Anshi thought of an idea and did not discuss it with Zheng Lang because it was contrary to Zheng Lang's restructuring. So he secretly found Lu Huiqing and Su Che, Zhang Dun, Xue Xiang and Lu Jiawen, who performed well in the investigation, and the six people discussed it.

At the beginning, a new department was established, called the establishment of the Three Departments Regulation Department, with a prime minister from each of the East and West governments, who led the finances of the Three Departments, reviewed the national budget for one year, and further simplified the procedures.

Because it was led by the prime ministers of the East and West governments, its power was infinitely magnified and it also knew what materials the country needed, so a new reform appeared, and its appearance would bring a lot of money to the country.

This involves another department, the Shipping Department. Its main function is to manage the transportation of goods for the supply of property, buy the materials required by the capital or the front line in Hebei, Shaanxi from all over the south of the Yangtze River (buying, buying, and science and technology), and transport them to the capital or the front line, and also manage tea, salt, minting, etc. Later, the north was densely populated and the grain was not enough to cover the income, and then shifted the focus to the grain. When it was cheap, it was bought from the people, and when it was expensive, it was either supplied or relieved or sold to the north. It was somewhat similar to the transport company, but it was not. The transport company was cyclical all year round, and the shipping company was speculative every time and had a strong business meaning.

As a result, a situation will arise. Because it is speculative, officials often have to review the archives. Those shipping departments have bought them, those who have not bought them, or those who have to buy them now, and those who do not. So often, officials of the Sansi often make a big fuss and there is no such product in this place. The three departments have a lot of products and they are almost rotten in the ground, but the three departments have no tasks. Then they become more chaotic after arriving in the capital. Often, the capital is in short supply and often cannot be transported up. The capital is backlogged, and all the places are constantly transporting upwards. Invisibly, a lot of waste is formed. After all, the three departments have the limitations of the three departments.

However, the establishment of the Regulation Department and the participation of the prime ministers of the East and West governments became different in nature. The prime ministers of the East and West governments had a greater view of the overall situation. The two governments plus the authority of the three departments, and together, they could clearly understand the distribution of the national products, the surplus required by various places, and the imperial court allocated funds to unified planning to transport the materials in the surplus areas to scarce areas, which not only facilitated the smooth flow of materials, complemented each other, increased the income of the people, and made the country obtain a large amount of profits.

Not only did it reduce a lot of waste, it also did not touch any taxes for state officials and the people, and the national economy was improved at the same time.

As for its nature, well, the National Development and Reform Commission!

To this end, Wang Anshi and the other five people made careful plans, Wang Anshi successively submitted three notes: "Opinions on the abolition of Jianghuai, Jingzhe Shipping Envoys", and they would not be denied this shipping envoy in the future, and all of them were under the jurisdiction of the Regulations. "Opinions on the establishment of the Three Regulations" and "Opinions on the Provisions of the World and the Regulations".

Zheng Lang had just finished the handover with Xifu and had left the affairs of Xifu. At the court meeting, Wang Anshi finished reading these three notes in one breath.

After hearing this, Zheng Lang's face changed, becoming pale, even whiter than his hair.
Chapter completed!
