Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 630 The Power Comes Out of the Barrel of a Gun

The Great Song Emperor, who didn't care about anything and was extremely lenient to everyone, actually had such an unknown scene? !

The matter of the plague is a secret among secrets, and the people in the court can count on one hand, none other than Zhong Shidao, Zhao Huan, Zhao Ying and Li Gang.

Even Shen Cong didn't know there was such a thing as the plague, Zhao Huan left behind the plague and handed it over to Zhao Ying for direct supervision.

Li Qingzhao clutched the paper in his hand vigorously, that naughty boy didn't know how to feel pity for himself!After making such a decision, did he plan to die on Yunzhong Road or Hedong Road? !

does it worth?
Li Qingzhao frowned and thought for a long time before he was sure that Zhao Huan's gambling with his life at that time was very worthwhile.

In the situation at that time, without the courage to put it to death and survive, where did the Song Dynasty come from?
Li Qingzhao intervened, thought for a long time before nodding his head and said, "Li Dazai is right, so let's hide it from him for now."

Li Gang said with the teacup in his hand: "The people in this world can actually be divided into scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants."

"Scholars are officials, and farmers are farmers who work hard on the land all over the world. They guarantee the food of the Song Dynasty. The scale of craftsmen is also getting bigger and bigger, and merchants usually refer to merchants."

"In the minds of the officials, the farmer is the clay for making tea cups, and everything comes from the farmer."

"Without farming, there will be no food, no military resources, and everything will be wiped out. From a certain point of view, the official's perception is extremely correct."

Li Qingzhao looked at the teacup in his hand with a smile. This was the biggest difference between Zhao Huan and other emperors of the Song Dynasty.

That naughty boy of his own has always cared about the people of the world, no matter what step he takes, Li Qingzhao doesn't think there is a reason why his man will fail, that's all.

And what is a farmer?
It is the foundation of everything, and new taxis, new workers, and new businesses will emerge among them.

And the most important of these is the source of troops.

With soldiers, with weapons, there will be everything.

In Zhao Huan's own words, that is, the land that grows out of the barrel of a gun and shrouded in bowstrings is the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

This brand-new cognition has the same effect as Mencius's that the king is the lightest and the country is the most important, but it is detached from Mencius.

This is what Li Qingzhao likes most about Zhao Huan. He is in a high position, flying above the clouds, but he can see all difficulties and is willing to see all sufferings.

Which emperor can do it?

"And now this merchant is a teacup." Li Gang opened the tea cover and said with a wry smile: "Look at the tea in here, isn't the tea all the profits earned by the merchants' turnover in the world? It also supports my Great Song Kaibian Tuotu’s biggest financial income.”

"You're talking oil and water." Li Qingzhao said with a smile.

She looked at the tea and tea leaves, this is what makes people wonder.

Obviously there are only so many goods in the world, but after the back and forth of merchants, it can actually produce greater value!
And in turn, let the world produce more goods, further promoting the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

"Everything in the world has a definite number, but this merchant is so weird. Is it possible that they can still create things? Obviously merchants don't do production." Li Gang also shook his head again and again. This is a strange thing in the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years. topic, no sage book ever taught them why.

But the fact is right in front of us, the prosperous commerce has brought huge financial income, and these incomes are still the taxes collected under the circumstances of the commercial tax rush purchase system.

There will only be more and more in the future, and the proportion will increase.

Li Gang continued: "In the long run, I'm afraid it won't take a few decades. The world's merchants will dominate the world, and the business tax will probably reach an unprecedented amount. Maybe one day, there will be no agricultural tax."

"I asked the officials about this at the beginning, and the officials said that this is the advantage of concentrating productivity. I don't understand it."

Li Qingzhao said with a sigh: "This time, the boycott of low-priced military rations by merchants in Didian was handled improperly. It is not good for our Song Dynasty, and it is not good for the government's policies. Li Dazai, how do you think it should be handled?"

It is well known that Zhao Huan built a large ship in Jinkou, and he even went to Jinkou to inspect the dock in person, and met merchants from all countries. Although there was an incident of pretending to be a Sogdian, there were some flaws in the trade exhibition of all countries.

But the government's signal to encourage business and trade is good news for Da Song.

Right now, the joint boycott of low-priced military rations by Didian grain merchants is an extremely difficult matter.

Li Gang said with a smile: "Some time ago, when the officials asked the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to formulate the military marriage law, they used a hearing as an example. I thought it was a good idea. This time, the merchants in the residence are making trouble. It is just to test the hearing and see if it can be implemented widely. "

"Then please trouble Li Dazai." Li Qingzhao nodded, which was also a thought in her heart.

Li Gang stood up and said: "The officials are in front of the army, and we are just doing these things in the rear. It is not troublesome or hard work. It is getting late, so I will make arrangements and resolve this matter as soon as possible."

When Li Gang left Huiying Pavilion, his face became a little gloomy.

The joint boycott of low-priced military rations by merchants this time is not just a matter of merchants. Some officials must be fishing in troubled waters and cheating!
All state affairs are governed by officials, which is a trick Li Gang learned in handling state affairs.

The transportation of grain and grass in the Song Dynasty existed in a form called Liangyin.

There is some grain and grass in Bianjing, which needs to be transported to the front line.

The grain merchants in Yanjing need to transport the grain and grass to Bianjing. At this time, as long as they transport the grain and grass to the Transshipment Department of Yanjing Mansion, they can get money to fetch and sell in Bianjing.

This method of transshipment greatly increased the convenience of the common people, and also saved the consumption of the Song army's grain transportation.

And the inventor of this transshipment method is the current Zhongshu Sheren Lu Zai.

When the war was tight, Lu Zai used the ideas he got from Qian Yinli to find the government, and after getting all the requirements from the government to ensure the supply of food and grass, he acted boldly, and the effect was not bad.

But now for Liangyin, there must be something unbeknownst to the court ministers, which led to the appearance of the word "low price".

"When you are working, you can't see anyone. When you are in trouble for the country, you can't find anyone. When you are looking for ways to make money, you are a good hand." Li Gang looked at the moonlight and hurried to into Lu Zai's house.

He needs to know what happened, so that the merchants of the Song Dynasty, who have always been very stable and willing to spend their wealth for the country, have to embark on such a road.

When the official royal family went on a personal expedition, if such a thing happened, there must be someone behind it!And also used shady means.

Lu Zai is a member of Zhongshushe and a transshipment envoy. The minister of the Ministry of Communications was still looking at the letter in his hand late at night. When he heard Li Gang coming to the door, he greeted him personally and said: "I know what Dazai Li wants to ask. , Lee Dazai and watch this."

"This is a letter written by the first-class merchants in Didian. Even they have been murdered, and they are almost unable to survive."

Li Gang picked up the paper and said: "That's the first-class merchant in Didian, and the grain merchants must not be able to handle it. Isn't it even more difficult for those small merchants?"

The content in the letter made Li Gang very confused. He thought that the first-class merchants in the mansion should have tens of millions of wealth, thousands of acres of fertile land, and thousands of servants.

However, Li Gang was a little puzzled by the complaints of these grain merchants crying for poverty.

"Are these all true?" Li Gang put down the Zha Zi and asked heavily.
