Qiming 1158

Chapter 728
The so-called home raid is nothing more than the complete liquidation of certain courtiers.

They may have made mistakes, or did the right thing but were politically wrong, so they should be completely reckoned with to admonish latecomers not to learn from them.

For now, it means that all the bastards who need to be punished and even executed and exiled due to the loss of the war this time will be raided.

That's not enough, and some bastards who didn't need to raid their homes should also be sentenced to a home raid.

One of these guys is rich, and the other is rich. Da Song's money is all in the hands of these bastards, and every copy is accurate.

Especially Wang Quan, although this bastard has his subordinates to follow him to eat free wages, he is definitely the one who eats the most.
Zhao Tan was overjoyed, and immediately did as Zhang Jun said, and immediately sent someone to raid Wang Quan's house.

I don't know if I don't copy it, I'm startled when I copy it, my dear, Wang Quan's empty pay is really not for nothing.

Gold is 6 taels, silver is 88 taels, and silk cloth is 110 million pieces. It has more than 20 mu of land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, more than 500 houses, and more than [-] shops in Jiaxing, Lin'an, Jiankang and other cities.

How can this be described as the wealth of the family?
Clearly rich.

This time it all belongs to Zhao Tan.

In addition to being happy, Zhao Tan was also very angry. With the normal salary and benefits of the king's power, he would never be able to accumulate so much wealth. This wealth was definitely accumulated by eating soldiers' meat and drinking soldiers' blood. People's Fat People Cream.

One kingship can amass so much wealth, what about the others?
Zhao Tan seemed to have flipped a switch. After copying Wang Quan's home, he ordered the homes of seventeen officers headed by Zhao Mi to be copied. He gained a lot. Together, he could almost top the Ming-Song wars for several times. War reparations.

Co-authoring a home raid can fill the gap for the court?
This is okay.

Zhao Tan suddenly became rich, and suddenly became rich. Many things soon had solutions and put them into practice.

Then, Zhang Jun gave Zhao Tan another suggestion, saying that since ancient times, there are only two ways to make money and reduce expenditure.

How to save money?
Throttling on some unimportant people.

Officials can't save money, they need them to do things, and grassroots officials can't save money, they need them to run errands and do chores, so they can only save money on those who are useless and only know how to eat but don't know where the food comes from.

Zhang Jun's suggestion is first to cut costs on those Northern Song clans.

The so-called persimmons should be picked softly. These people were released by the Ming army. They did not make any contribution to the Song Dynasty. Instead, they spent a lot of state money in the Song Dynasty to support them.

Back then, Zhao Gou had actually tried his best to reduce the cost of supporting them, but there were still quite a few, especially those who were close to Zhao Gou. They were raised in the way of raising clans in the Northern Song Dynasty, which cost a lot.

These guys are not only useless, but they also exerted political pressure on Zhao Tan when the Ming army besieged Lin'an. Don't they want to retaliate?

Zhao Tan thought about it and felt that it was very reasonable. These guys can only eat expensive food in this world. After so many years of hardship, they have no growth at all, and their eggs are useless. Why spend so much money on them?

Especially Zhao Tie Shi and Zhao Wan Shi, these two impure bastards are still jealous of his throne, what a joke!
No!

So Zhao Tan ordered that the monthly salary and benefits of the Northern Song Dynasty clan be reduced to one-third of the original, and Zhao Tie-shi and Zhao Wan-shi were directly reduced to one-hundredth of the original, which was only enough for them Stay fed.

This can be regarded as a severe slash, saving a fortune.

However, the amount of this money is still relatively small, and there are very few things that can be done, so Zhao Tan wanted to operate on a larger group of officials, but he was afraid of the officials protesting, so he asked Zhang Jun what to do.

Zhang Jun suggested that Zhao Tan should lead by example and reduce the royal family's expenses, and use this as a basis to reduce the salaries of the entire group of officials and local officials above the county magistrate.

But don't touch the salaries of grass-roots officials and petty officials.

Zhao Tan was puzzled, so Zhang Jun explained it to him.

"As long as officials of a certain rank have fields and properties at home, or they have some shameful income, this is relatively common and can't be controlled, but if their salary is reduced for this reason, they will definitely not be able to afford food.

However, the lower-ranked officials, some officials of the official yamen commonly known as Qingshui Yamen, and unranked officials, a considerable part of them really only rely on their salaries to support their families, and their salaries were cut off. , the world of the Song Dynasty will be unstable because of this. "

Zhao Tan understood the joints, so he decided to follow what Zhang Jun said, first cut the knife from himself, reducing the royal family's expenses by one-fifth.

Then it was announced that the salaries of officials above a certain rank in the imperial court would be reduced by one-fifth.

Then he adopted Zhang Jun's suggestion and had him write a manifesto that the emperor and his ministers would share weal and woe to overcome the difficulties, declaring that when the country's finances were difficult, the emperor and senior officials needed to share weal and woe to get through the difficult times together.

So please understand more and stop arguing.

Because of the fact that the courtiers had put political pressure on Zhao Tan and begged him to announce his surrender, many court officials had little confidence in Zhao Tan, for fear that he would expand the scope of revenge and involve them.

Now he leads by example, reduces the royal family's expenses, and then chops knives from officials. They don't have the confidence to quarrel with Zhao Tan, and the right should be the atonement fee for the emperor.

So Zhang Jun's strategy of throttling was determined in this way.

This calculation did indeed save a considerable amount of money for the Southern Song Dynasty. The money saved was handed over to the Privy Council as military expenses, and the Privy Council used the money to rebuild the army.

Because the army just happened to be disbanded before and no longer exists, it is more convenient and easy to rebuild. As long as the right people are selected, it is not difficult to rebuild a reliable army.

After the inspection of the Privy Council, it was decided to appoint Li Xianzhong, the former chief of the capital of Chizhou, to be the new chief of the capital of Jiankang.

The Zhenjiang Metropolitan Secretary was handed over to Liu Qi's only surviving subordinate, Wang Fang.

Because of his heroic resistance, the Southern Song Dynasty retained more or less face. Zhao Tan admired Wang Fang's courage very much for this, and ordered Wang Fang to be the commander of the capital of Zhenjiang, recruiting and training new troops and guarding the Zhenjiang Metropolitan Administration.

In addition, after careful investigation, they decided to appoint Shao Hongyuan, who was once known as Guan Yu and Ma Chao's brave infantry division, to be the commander of the capital of Chizhou. They started from scratch, recruited and trained by themselves, and made Chizhou the capital. The general's army pulled up.

After the actual battle situation this time, the imperial court decided to give Zhenjiang Dutongsi and Jiankang Dutongsi 5 additional soldiers each, while Chizhou Dutongsi increased to [-].

If the Zhenjiang Dutong Division had enough troops, perhaps Liu Qi would not be defeated so fast.

As long as there is a courageous general in the Jiankang Metropolitan Government, he will not allow tens of thousands of troops to be scattered without action.

If there are more troops and horses in Chizhou, it may not be enough to let the Ming army go straight in without any scruples.

For these three selected brave generals, Zhao Tan placed high hopes on them and gave them special funds. There was no intermediate link. He just wanted to train three elite troops in the most important part of the Yangtze River defense line anyway, so that these three The army guards the safety of Jiangnan.

In the case of losing Huainan, Zhao Tan will never again have the situation where the army would collapse at the touch of a button.

Once such a situation occurs, Lin'an cannot be guarded at all.
