I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 875 Reason
What are the officials trying to do?
This is what Wang Anshi couldn't understand.Originally, it was just talking about the Hebei Road, or about the escape of the craftsmen, but the escape of the craftsmen has become an extra.

"What do the officials want?"

Finally unable to hold back, Wang Anshi asked.He has always been inferior to other cabinets who have followed the officials for a long time in his understanding of the officials.

"Fall down!"

"Falled?"

Su Song didn't hide it, and directly pointed out the official's intention.It is estimated that the officials also want the cabinet and even the courtiers to understand their intentions.

"That's right! It's the bottom of the family. The officials once said that if one day, the scholar-bureaucrats of the country no longer use the amount of farmland as the criterion for judging their wealth, then the country will only be considered to have just started."

"At that time, Su Song couldn't understand the meaning of these words at all, but looking at it now, the actual development of the country does have such a trend."

At that time, it wasn’t long before Su Song joined the guard battalion. The guard camp workshop, the predecessor of the workshop city, was just beginning to make all the quilts, tents and rations for the army. At that time, the chariots were just With the prototype, I am still experimenting with gunpowder and the barrel of the musket.

At that time, the country still had the disadvantage of three redundancy, and the court was still surprised by the Northwest three times a day, whether it was scholar-bureaucrats or ordinary people, they all depended on farming to survive.

At that time, cakes were still a luxury item. Apart from generals and Xuzhou supervisors in the Guo Dynasty, there was no concept of workshops in the prefectures and counties.

At that time, the tax revenue of the country was less than [-]% from commercial taxes, and the court still relied on taxes from farmers.

At that time, the officials also said: the land issue is the root cause of the change of the dynasty!Only by pulling the power class out of the land can we truly create peace for all generations.

Today, I once thought it was the emotion of the officials when they were young and did not know how to feel sad, but now they seem to be seeing signs.

Agricultural tax is basically dispensable in the country nowadays.Although the absolute value of the agricultural tax did not decrease, due to the imperial government's policy of encouraging farming and mulberry farming, the cultivated land was increasing, and the absolute value of the agricultural tax increased after the reduction or exemption.

However, in the tax revenue of Guochao, it has really reached a negligible level.

Of course, Su Song also thought of one point. After many years of guiding the scholar-bureaucrats to get out of the land, the officials have already achieved initial results.The weakening of land mergers is the main factor that keeps the absolute value of agricultural taxes rising.

As for the imperial court, almost [-]% to [-]% of the current government affairs are in industrial development.

Su Song was a little distracted, and the cabinet ministers had already discussed the so-called downfall of the officials.

It is also said that the bottom line of all the properties can be known by the sale of the workshop city, and the tax income of the Ministry of Households can be judged, and even the property can be inferred based on the tax income, and the capital transactions of the Royal Bank Inferred.

In fact, in Su Song's opinion, the approval of Shiyi can give some inspiration...
In any case, the cabinet will continue to do what the government has assigned, although it is not clear what the purpose is, and even feels that it is a bit unnecessary.

Money and food are allocated for internal affairs, so it should be easy to arrange such a thing.

"It's too general. Since officials and scholars are asked to do these things, they must have a clear direction and purpose. The salary of hired workers is only part of it. What about the rest?"

Zhao Xi really couldn't understand the strategy presented by the cabinet.Also, it is difficult for the ministers and workers of this era to have the concept of economic census.Even if these are the elite of the elite, there is no concept of economic census.

If I hadn't experienced this matter before, I might not be able to understand it.

"The main content of the survey includes the basic attributes... whether it is state-owned or private or public-private joint venture, and what kind of industry it belongs to in Baixing. It should include the employment situation of each workshop, store, etc., whether it is profitable or not , scale, fixed input, production capacity, proportion of raw materials, process improvement, etc.”

The charter agreed by the cabinet is very vague, and it can already be defined in a perfunctory manner.It is estimated that the cabinet is still focusing on the investigation of the current situation of the employees, that is, an investigation on the escape of the craftsmen in Hebei Province, and plans to set certain standards to prevent problems before they happen.

I don't understand Zhao Xi's census, and even think it's meaningless, so that's it.

"Officials, what's the point of such an investigation? What's the use in court affairs? I'm stupid, so I ask the officials to clarify."

The tradition of the dynasty is not that the king is what he says, or that from the dynasty to the present dynasty, it is not that the king is what the king says, and the later is a later thing.

Zhao Xi doesn't think it's bad. As a later generation, he still understands this phenomenon of doubt.

"Wang Xiang, a concentrated residential area not smaller than Zhong County has formed around the Southwest Mining City. Have you ever heard of this?"

"Go back to the official's house, the minister understands something."

"Do you know what is the main livelihood around the mining city?"

"As far as I know, the freight industry is the first, followed by prostitutes. There are also some hired workers and brokers who are engaged in refining concentrated in this area."

"Then what industry is Bianliang mainly based on? What about Jingdong Road? What about Jingzhao Mansion? What about Jiangnan Road? Similarly, which industry has developed the most in Guochao's industrial development in recent years? Which kind of development is the best? Which kind of foreign trade High profit? Which domestic sales profit is better?"

"And the industries that have been sold in the workshop city over the years, which industries have been reduced, which industries are the sunrise, which industries have been improved and innovated, which industries are shrinking, etc."

"It seems that these issues are very trivial, because they have not been viewed from a high level. From the perspective of the imperial court, the industry of the imperial court should develop in a balanced manner. Even when it comes to specific local state capitals, they should also have their own advantageous industries, or Systematic and complete supporting development for a specific industry."

"Take glass as an example. The popularization of glass will surely enter the homes of the common people. However, if all the state capitals of the whole country are involved in the glass industry, what will be the result? It will be vicious competition."

"Issues such as these, from daily necessities, to building materials, to mineral resources, and even the supply of raw materials, all need to be targeted. Only by investigating real and basic data can the court take targeted measures. "

"Whether it is the improvement of the craftsmanship in the workshop city or the adjustment of the structure by the imperial court, doing a basic investigation is the guarantee for the imperial court to formulate a strategy. Only in this way can the imperial court avoid making mistakes behind closed doors, and avoid making mistakes in decision-making. "

Zhao Xi was not proficient in economic theory, and he didn't leave any records in the martial arts hall in his early years. It was difficult for the ministers who had read his records to have a complete train of thought.

When addressing specific issues, he can still speak some truths. Although not satisfactory, it is enough for this era.
