Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 609
"Insurance?" Fan Sheng looked at the officials suspiciously, and said, "Isn't this a disguised tax increase?"

Cleverly set up a name and extort miscellaneous taxes.

Fan Sheng was the first to think of these four words. It's no wonder that the people in Jinkou didn't call him a dog when the decree came out.

Looking at Fan Sheng's expression, Zhao Huan knew that he disagreed with this matter.

Zhao Huan's idea was, of course, the mandatory insurance for ocean accidents.

This is an idea in Zhao Huan's heart, and it is also a social welfare, a test of the social security system.

The man in the family went to sea to fight for his life, the ship capsized, the family lost its pillar, and the whole family was completely destroyed. In a high-risk occupation such as oceangoing, compulsory insurance is very necessary.

In the social public system, the whole people share the risk of accidents, and after the accident, they can get a certain amount of compensation, which is a completely necessary social security system.

But Fan Sheng obviously understands that in order to make a name for himself, he pays a lot of miscellaneous taxes.

The social security system of the Song Dynasty is very simple, but this simplicity is compared with later generations. In the feudal dynasty, it was also the only one.

The three systems of nursing homes, Anjifang and Louzeyuan cover everything from care for children to widowed and elderly people, to burial after death.

And it's not a vanity project, but a real system.

And Zhao Huan is looking for a social security system that belongs to the Song Dynasty.

It's not just ocean-going boatmen and merchants who are engaged in high-risk occupations, but also dangerous heavy industries such as mining and smelting.

These are all real high-risk occupations, but with the strength of Great Song Chaotang, it is obvious that none of these can be shouldered by Chaotang.

Zhao Huan is looking for a way of development that can continue in a virtuous circle.

Fan Sheng still shook his head and said: "The officials want to take from the people and use it for the people, but the common people don't think so. They will think that the minister is just setting up a name, so the minister is really Fan Taotie."

Zhao Huan nodded, people are not wise enough, they will use the most simple way to understand the insurance of such a high-risk occupation.If you want to do something, that's it. Before you start, you will find many, many problems.

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said: "And without strict supervision, it is easy to cause corruption, taking what is taken from the people and taking it for oneself."

"This is the meaning of you, me, and our existence."

"The reason why you are an official and I am an emperor is to let the people understand the policy, and implement the policy perfectly, and establish relevant supervision agencies to monitor corruption. That is what we must do."

Zhao Huan has already made it very clear, let him, the emperor, solve the system and policies, so what do you want him to do as a courtier?
Whether the insurance collection targets the goods or the owner of the goods, how much is the collection fee, how to let the people of small merchants understand the purpose of these policies, how to supervise the various difficult problems in the implementation of these policies, how to establish a supervisory agency, and how to pay compensation effectively.

If the emperor is worried about these specific contents, the emperor might as well just die suddenly.

Looking at this policy from the tail end of history, Zhao Huan naturally knew that compulsory insurance similar to compulsory traffic insurance was beneficial to the development of society, and now Fan Sheng is facing such a problem.

If the boat really capsizes, what will happen to the families of these small merchants after accidents happen to the small merchants?
Fan Sheng thought about the idea of ​​being an official again, and said dumbfoundedly: "Your servant, let's try. I hope the people won't poke my back and scold me."

"Actually, I mainly feel that right now, it is really difficult to determine the scope of compensation."

"For example, Wang loaded cargo from Jinkou, unloaded cargo at a private port in Guangzhou, falsely claimed that the ship capsized, sold the ship to a private port, and returned to Jinkou to make the prefect of Jinkou lose money. How is this defined?"

"The business of Yuanhang is far away, and the time for communication and investigation back and forth is too long. I can only say to try. If it is Japan or Zhancheng, it will be even more difficult to define the investigation when you go to another country."

Zhao Huan nodded: "Start with small things first, and explore slowly. This matter is not urgent. Just take your time, explore and move forward, and you won't be able to eat a big fat man with one bite."

Zhao Huan stood up, looked at those eager merchants, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to the International Exhibition you held."

Chen Zimei is the head of the Chen family in Huaibei.

His son Chen Chong is now a member of the Ministry of Commerce, Wailang, who helps Li Qingzhao handle the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, and he has some appearance in his work.

His brother Chen Fu, who is now Gongjue Sipin, is testing the data of the ammonia fertilizer they made, and has launched a pilot project on Hebei Lianglu and Jingji Road.

At the beginning, Zhao Huan also took 1000 million yuan from the Chen family, and rewarded them to the soldiers who recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, as well as the Changping warehouse on Hedong Road, which was also due to this person.

Zhao Huan has always had a good impression of Chen Zimei, but Chen Zimei is surprisingly reserved, even worse than his son.

"The Chen family is a voluntary merchant. I still remember that when Pingzhou asked for food, the Chen family was obliged to pay for a letter worth 2000 million yuan of food and sent it to Pingzhou for military supplies." Zhao Huan looked at it. Chen Zimei looked anxious and said with a smile.

Tell him that he has not forgotten what the Chen family has done.

In comparison, the Cui family in Huainan.

At the beginning, the Cui family voted for Zhao Gou, but now, there is nothing left, and they were all chopped up by Fan Ruwei.

Chen Zimei said in great panic: "The official family is wise, my Chen family is responsible for the safety of this matter? It is only with the help of several other elder brothers that I was able to prepare food and grass in a short period of time, and the official family paid for it afterwards. .”

"At that time, people with lofty ideals throughout Huaibei and Huainan learned that only Pingzhou was left in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to recover. Caomin and the elder brothers didn't understand this. All they could do was to send some food and grass to the officials."

Looking at Chen Zimei's humble appearance, Zhao Huan shook his head repeatedly.

It was probably the first time that the merchants of the Song Dynasty saw the court being so kind to merchants, so they did things with gratitude.

No social group is all good, and no social group is all bad.

Zhao Huan took another look at Fan Sheng. Because of his likes and dislikes, because he had a prejudice against civil servants, he misunderstood Fan Sheng's character.

"Officials, this is the platform of Korea." Chen Zimei pointed to a row of beauties and said with a smile.

"The secret color of Gaoli?" Zhao Huan really saw the secret color of Gaoli for the first time.
Very strong with nice lines.

But why has Koryo always liked to export beauties...

"No, official. These are pearl divers. They are mainly responsible for collecting sea mussels in the sea. They swim in the sea for five or six months a year. They look good, but they don't do secret sex." Chen Zimei hurried Said.

"The thing about Gouzi recklessly giving away the thin horse to the official, and the matter of the official's unshakable face, I heard that Gouzi mentioned it, so I naturally kept it in my heart." Chen Zimei explained with a smile.

Zhao Ying secretly gave Chen Zimei a thumbs-up. In fact, the officials didn't like the matter of high-quality thin horses. It was after Shangshanlou started to remove the thin horses and related services that Chen Zimei removed the Korean secret color.

For this reason, the merchants of the Goryeo Kingdom are very puzzled. As a special product, the secret color of Goryeo cannot be shown to the emperor of the Song Dynasty?
The big pearls, held in the hands of these women, are crystal clear.

People have also selected it, and there are a few red corals, which are fiery red and very good.

There are many special products of Goryeo. Zhao Huan Goryeo celadon, Goryeo paper, Goryeo cloth, tussah silk, fur, and ginseng were all placed on the booth.

Chen Zimei said with a smile: "This pearl can be used as medicine, and it can also be used as jewelry. Recently, I discovered some magical uses of this pearl. The powder left over from processing jewelry can be used to wash the face very cleanly. It is very useful. The vanilla has already been delivered to Zhao Duzhi."

Pearl powder?
Chen Zimei's idea is good. Someone once said that women's money is best earned.

Zhao Huan continued to walk forward, and saw Fukada Kyoko, this woman, Zhao Huan had really met, she was the fiancee of the Japanese envoy Ping Qingsheng.

"See Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty." Fukada Kyoko bowed directly with a five-body prostration.

"Get up, didn't you follow Ping Qingsheng back to Wa Kingdom? Why are you in Jinkou?" Zhao Huan asked curiously.

"The concubine is still looking for someone to plant." Fukada Kyoko said calmly, but Zhao Huan still saw a trace of panic in the woman's eyes.

"Aren't you Ping Shengqing's fiancée? Why do you want to be planted too?" Zhao Huan asked with twitching corners of his mouth.

Zhao Huan couldn't figure out what this Japanese man thought...

Fukada Kyoko said with a bit of bitterness: "The father of my concubine is the current King Chongde, so naturally he has to be planted, otherwise he will definitely not be able to return to Japan."

Zhao Huan took a closer look at Fukada Kyoko. In the past two years in the Song Dynasty, this Fukada Kyoko was a little more beautiful and dignified than when he first met him, and his skin was a little crystal clear.

The present country of Wa is still 300 years away from the Warring States period when the village chiefs fought. In the country of Wa, it was exposed to the wind and the sun, and the food was not good.

Only then did Zhao Huan recall that Wa Kingdom seemed to be giving away two princesses to him. Could it be that Fukada Kyoko was one of them?

Looking at it this way, it looks passable.

Fukada Kyoko blushed when Zhao Huan saw it, and said timidly, "Did my concubine show the official "The Tale of Genji" last time?"

When Zhao Huan mentioned this, his scalp tingled.

The Tale of Genji, before the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan had heard the name of this book!
But never really studied it.

Zhao Huan actually read a few pages of the Tale of Genji sent by Kyoko Fukada, and even brought it to Yanfu Palace to read.

After Zhao Huan read a part of it, he realized that the book was driving from beginning to end, comparable to Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's "Jin Ping Mei".

He was also scolded by Zhu Lian.

Zhao Huan smiled and looked at the booth of the Wa country. Compared with Gaoli, this country is simple and rude. They know what the Song Dynasty lacks.

Lack of money, money shortage.

The entire booth is full of silver, clearly explaining their biggest trade material to Song Dynasty, silver.

Zhao Huan stretched out his hand, took out an object, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
