Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 893 The Commerce and Trade Potential of the Central Plains Dynasty

How did the Great Song Dynasty develop to this point?With super-fast development, even harvesting the silver mines of the Japanese country can't satisfy the gluttony of the Song Dynasty's business?
Was it Zhao Huan who re-opened the Shipbuilding Department?There are certain reasons, but the significance of reopening the Shibo Department is to recognize the legality of private maritime trade, and to greatly reduce only smugglers and pirates.

There was a lot of sea trade in the Song Dynasty itself, even if the sea was banned by the court, but the court didn't have a navy ready for war, how could it complete the sea ban without a piece of armor?

Was Zhao Huan's silver-based Dasong Yinzhuang a stimulus to finance?There are certain reasons, but there are non-governmental organizations such as banks, bank accounts, and silver markets in the Song Dynasty. The role of Yinzhuang in the Song Dynasty is to standardize this market and play a mediating role.

What stimulated the rapid development of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the speed of business development, even silver as the new legal tender could not satisfy its appetite?

Zhao Huan has been pondering for many days, and finally found the culprit, Li Gang.

His business tax reform and the new Song Dynasty business tax inspection based on the establishment of retired soldiers completely standardized the business tax, which not only brought huge financial revenue to the court, but also injected growth into the development of private business strong drive.

The business tax reform of the Great Song Dynasty completely standardized the chaotic business tax of the Great Song Dynasty, dispelled the investment worries of the people, and they took the silver and copper coins hidden in the cellar to the Great Song Yinzhuang, and exchanged them for silver coins and silver bills , Holding a lot of banknotes, employing common people for production, even small handicraft workshops have unlimited potential.

In order to carry out the commercial and tax reform to the end, Zhao Huan also carried out a nationwide rectification of the bandits in the Song Dynasty. In addition, the road and the construction of water conservancy made the goods flow faster, which made the development of the Song Dynasty explode. It has the power to attract people's attention.

History is always created by the people.

Therefore, the culprit of all this is Li Gang. Facing the restriction of money shortage on development, Li Gang also put forward his own opinion, that is, the small and controllable over-issuance and financial instruments of treasury bonds are not enough to control the general money shortage in the market.

"Is this a business tax reform so powerful?" Zhao Huan frowned. He wondered if some courtiers were playing tricks he didn't understand, but he couldn't see the problem.

[Reminder of historical events: In the 29th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1849), the annual income of the Qing court was 4 million taels of silver, agricultural taxes were 250 million taels, accounting for 3%, industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes were 281 million taels of silver, accounting for 77%]

[In the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (1911), the annual income of the Qing court was 29 million taels, which was close to 696 million taels, of which the agricultural tax was 4 million taels, accounting for 810%, and the industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes were 16 million taels, accounting for 20%, and 441 million taels of other income, accounting for 69%. The largest item of other income is tariffs, which are 4 million taels, and the rest are income from planting and selling local medicine (opium poppy).The following year, Emperor Xuantong Puyi issued an abdication edict, and the Qing court died. 】

[The annual revenue in the late Qing Dynasty increased from 50 million taels to 4000 million taels in 11 years. It can be seen from the general statistical table that tariffs were not the main growth point of the Qing court, but the huge impact brought about by the reform of the commercial tax system and the release of land from the people. 】

"So what do you mean by the system, did you still struggle hard when the Qing court fell? No wonder the late Qing Dynasty engaged in Beiyang naval forces, paid indemnities, and built gardens. It's almost a game!"

"Chongzhen is different. I haven't even repaired my own bed in 17 years, and the glazed tiles of the Jinluan Temple have faded. It's miserable."

Zhao Huan looked at the watch. The Qing court, which he had always disliked, actually earned [-] million a year when the country was subjugated?
He calculated the current income of the national treasury. If the Dasong silver dollar is converted into Kuping silver, it will be about 400% off, which is less than [-] million, which is only more than [-] million taels of Kuping silver.

If Chongzhen could earn [-] million taels per year, it would be unthinkable!

【…】

?

Zhao Huan looked at the string of ellipses and asked his own question.

[In the third year of Xuantong, the Qing court had essentially lost control of most areas, otherwise Puyi would not have issued an edict to abdicate, even if Puyi was not attached to his throne, the nobles of the Qing Dynasty would force him to be attached to the throne, the demise of the Qing court, After losing control of most of the region.In the three years of Xuantong, where tax payment is all voluntary, the rapid growth of commercial taxation has still been achieved.In terms of commercial potential, the Central Plains Dynasty has great potential. 】

[Daming in the Chongzhen period had the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty. During the Wanli period in the transition period, Zhang Juzheng was determined to reform the middle way and collapsed. Rebelling against the flag, proclaiming the Seven Great Hatreds against the Ming Dynasty is still unknown. 】

[Emperor Chongzhen is facing the eunuchs that will harm the country. The commander of the imperial guards Jinyiwei needs to kowtow to a dog, because that dog is raised by Wei Zhongxian, and what you are facing is the head chef of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who is not greedy for power. Zhao Yinghe chose Shen Cong who was loyal to Song Dynasty. 】

[There are no ministers in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and all the officials in the court are all boasters. If you give him Li Gang, Zhao Ding, and Zong Ze casually here, even if he is a kind of teacher, he will not be so difficult to be accepted by others. Play around. 】

[Your generals gathered Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are all handsome talents, you don’t need to think about military force and loyalty, just use it openly; Chongzhen is facing Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, and they are already up for sale before they are determined. 】

[What you are facing is to defend Taiyuan, and your Taiyuan defender, Wang Zhi, will never retreat. The people who guard the city, even if they die in battle or starvation, will never surrender to the Jinren, and Shanhaiguan, which Chongzhen needs to defend, is not in the past. The Zu Dashou family who listened to the order but not the announcement, and then Wu Sangui who was ready to sell Shanhaiguan for a good price at any time.And Wu Sangui is Zu Dashou's nephew. 】

[Your Li Gang is a single minister, you give him a salary and he will do his best for you. Behind Chongzhen's chief minister, there are seven shareholders. When he entered the cabinet, he sold his own Wen Tiren at a price of 1 taels of silver per share. 】

[You want to reform the commercial tax, and Li Gang endorses it for you. The common people eat pots of milk, and the gentry and wealthy families are not popular. Chongzhen can only take a look at the commercial tax, and still owes it.Your meals are carefully selected and prepared by Zhao Ying for you, and Chongzhen usually has a bowl of radish soup gathered by all the heroes. 】

[Your Huai merchant will send you a skinny horse on your way to conquest, don’t just praise you as a wise gentleman, and give you money at every turn. When you need food, bring your own dry food to help you transport it. If you need a ship, build it for you at your own expense. Huai merchants in the dock.What Chongzhen faced was the Shanxi merchants who traded with outside the customs and became the top merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs directly after the Qing soldiers entered the customs. The Ming Dynasty has died, and the Zhejiang merchants and Chuhao are still engaged in party organizations and party struggles. 】

[Your Great Song Dynasty had countless bow clubs, armor clubs, and martial arts clubs. Recruiting soldiers could pull out a reserve soldier with certain combat capabilities from each club, while the Ming Dynasty in Chongzhen had no choice but to flee to military households that were completely clean. 】

【What you have to do is lie down and win, then open the harem, have children, and make the world a better life by the way. Emperor Chongzhen is driving a broken ship that is about to sink and is full of holes. 】

"Haha!" Zhao Huan laughed wildly. With such a comparison, he really felt extremely lucky.

【Planning your next crossing goal, Chongzhen. 】

The smile on Zhao Huan's face disappeared instantly, and he asked in a daze, "Are you joking?"
