Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 762

"Kill!" Zhao Huan nodded, he had already made up his mind, Zhao Chengyou was not a bargaining chip for the scholar bureaucrats to compromise, not even the Empress Dowager was their bargaining chip!
The bargaining chip for them to compromise is still their own heads.

To deal with this group of bureaucrats, the best thing to use is a guillotine.

"Then kill it." Li Gang hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't intend to stop the official's killing.

If you don't kill two chickens, how can you show it to the monkey?
Zhao Huan and Li Gang continued to discuss state affairs, and the income of the state treasury of the Song Dynasty was increasing. Although the internal treasury had a bad debt in Korea, it was still in balance.

"The consumption of the clan is still a bit high. The problem of redundancy has not been resolved by Yuanfeng's restructuring." Zhao Huan took out a notebook from his sleeve and said, "I have an idea for the problem of redundancy. Take a look. .”

Li Gang looked at Zhazi, then at the emperor sitting on the throne, and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

"It's urgent." Zhao Huan nodded.

He had already written such a letter before he went to Yanjing last time, but the situation at that time was not clear, and he still had no overwhelming advantage over Jin Guo, so he couldn't do it if he wanted to.

But it's different now. Zhao Huan, who has gained an absolute advantage over the Jin Kingdom, finally let go of his hands and feet, and started his in-depth restructuring.

"It just so happened that Empress Dowager Meng jumped out. Originally, I planned to wait until the end of the war with the Kingdom of Jin before doing these things. I just took advantage of this to get this done." Zhao Huan said calmly, taking a sip of tea.

The contents of this letter are not new.

As early as the restructuring of Yuanfeng, someone mentioned this matter.

Reduce the share of clan support.

At the beginning, there were too many voices of opposition, and only Taoist temples and Buddhist temples were attacked.

The bulk of the annual expenditure of the Song Dynasty's national funds was still spent on military expenditures, but after the officials directly disbanded the old army and changed it to an order to equalize land, the problem of redundant expenses was greatly alleviated.

The revenue and expenditure of the state treasury began to be in surplus, and Zhao Huan originally did not intend to reduce the share of clan support, which would intensify domestic conflicts.

In the final analysis, it was the Empress Dowager Meng who jumped out, so Zhao Huan naturally couldn't just beat the scholar-bureaucrats and not the clan relatives.

Reducing the support share of the clan is Zhao Huan's board on the clan.

Zhao Huan stood up and walked outside the Wende Hall to watch the snow. He pretended to be confident in front of Zhao Ying. Didn't he not feel lucky that he came here for the heavy snow?
He stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake and said, "Money is needed everywhere in the Song Dynasty, money is needed for textiles, money is needed for running and straight roads, money is needed for the Imperial Colleges in various places, and money is also needed for the rewards of the frontier army. Changping warehouse also needs money, Jinghu Changping warehouses in Liangjiang, Liangjiang, and Zhejiang also need money.”

"Since they don't want to be honest and jump up, I won't give you the money."

This is a huge sum of money. Take Zhao Gou's bereaved son Zhao Tan as an example. Zhao Huan gave it to the newborn child Wei Guogong.

A Duke of the State of Wei would offer 5000 stones of rice, [-] taels of silver, [-] bolts of brocade, [-] bolts of silk, [-] bolts of silk, [-] bolts of gauze, [-] bolts of winter cloth, [-] bolts of summer cloth, and the rest. The expenses are countless.

Kong Duanyou's Yan Shenggong also has the same number, and the county king will double it!
And the princes, county kings, and princes of the Song Dynasty and the clans of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and their land is not taxed! !
The Zhao family is really not called for nothing...

Feeding these pigs... Where did all these noble money and goods come from?In the end, it was spread on the heads of the people.

In Zhao Huan's letter, all cloth, silk, and money were cancelled, and the number of rice grains was cut to about [-]%.

This is calculated by Zhao Ying in detail, to ensure that they eat well, drink well, and not go hungry. The standard of Zhao Ying's calculation is customized according to the meal standard of the Song emperor, and [-]% is completely enough.

This knife hurts a lot.

What hurts even more is that Zhao Huan intends to pay taxes to the land of these clansmen, this is the fatal place.

The clans didn't pay taxes before, so naturally they don't need to determine the acres of land. No one knows how many fields, houses, and shops they have.

It was widely rumored that behind Tianshui Lane and Fan Tower there were princes and county kings, but no one knew.

But once the tax is collected, it means that the emperor of the Song Dynasty wants to sort out their wealth. This inventory will kill the clansmen.

All dynasties and dynasties have extremely strict regulations on the fields and houses of princes, county kings, and dukes.

None of the clan members were clean, and even Zhao Shifu, the king of Xun, who had an excellent reputation, exceeded the standard by more than ten times.

"This is worse than taking their lives." Li Gang shared Zhazi, since it was an urgent government order, he naturally had to deal with these matters before the Chinese New Year, and celebrate the New Year cleanly.

"Death still requires money, let them choose by themselves." Zhao Huan said to Zhao Ying: "The chazi of the Imperial City Division and the county lieutenants who are rumored to cooperate with Li Gang to implement the decree."

Now that he did it, Zhao Huan didn't intend to be merciful. He fought openly and made a big fight. It wouldn't be possible to calm down his inner anger by killing Zhao Chengyou.

Li Gang nodded, he stopped the official's butcher's knife, of course he had to help the official to do this well, this is the way that the monarch and his ministers are willing.

Forcibly stopping the emperor is not something a prime minister should do. If you stop the officials, you have to pay the corresponding price.

"Officials, the official business is over, should we go to Concubine Zhu's place?" Zhao Ying asked.

Today Princess Anna is in Yanfu Palace, teaching Zhao Chen to learn Latin and Greek.

This is still the karma that Zhao Huan buried at the beginning. Through the systematic translation, he understood what Anna and the bishop had discussed. , he enrolled Zhao Chen in a "foreign language class".

Parents are the same all over the world, they always feel that there is no harm in children being more capable. As for whether Zhao Chen is willing or not, Zhao Huan heard from Zhu Lian that he likes foreign language classes very much.

Zhao Huan walked to Yanfu Palace. There was a huge difference between the ancient Latin and the English of later generations. Zhao Huan didn't understand a single word.

"The great and strong, invincible Emperor Song, we meet again. Cardinal Humbert asked me to say hello to the honorable King John." Anna performed a standard Roman princess ceremony, and handed out a letter.

Zhao Huan took the letter, which was still written in Latin, and the system translated it instantly. Only then did Zhao Huan understand the purpose of Humbert's letter.
He shook his head helplessly and said: "It's still the same thing. I will not stop him from preaching, but I, the people of Song Dynasty, don't believe you."

Zhao Huan has no likes or dislikes towards Nestorianism, but the cultural background of the Song Dynasty is incompatible with Nestorianism, and they are twisted together. This melon is really not sweet.

Zhao Ying put away the letters, they are all things to be filed.

"I heard that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty also went to the Wu Temple to pay homage before going on an expedition. It proves that the people in this land have faith." Anna said still unwillingly.

When Zhao Ying heard this, he almost laughed out loud, and he followed the officials wherever they went. When worshiping the three sticks of incense in the Wu Temple, he understood what the officials said clearly.

At that time, the officials said that if the battle was not won, they would never go again, and even threatened to smash the temple...

I don't know how Jiang Taigong feels on the main altar...

"Humbert is the priest in red, and you are the princess of Rome. I ask you, and I tell you that there is a man in the sky who does nothing. He looks at you every day and grabs your pigtails. Believe it yourself." Is it?" Zhao Huan looked at Anna and asked.

"Huh?" Anna couldn't laugh or cry, she couldn't refute, because what Zhao Huan said was the truth."I don't believe it," she said with a smile.
