Chapter 238
Feng Shiyuan lowered his head and thought for a while before he raised his head and said, "Okay, I will believe what you said. However, there is no airtight wall in the world. If this matter is done, it will inevitably make a big fuss in the capital. The Minister Xu of the Sansi said many times that he is not allowed to lend money to the quality deposit, and those who violate it will be severely punished! Although the Sa family is not an ordinary person, how can he dare to flirt with the tiger beard of the Minister of the Sansi? Unfortunately, in the past few years, Master Liu was not cautious in doing things and tampered with tea methods, and he has never known whereabouts since then. If he was still there, he could barely do this."
Li Zhongtan smiled and said, "The Taiwei is thinking badly, why should we hide this matter? Just do reasonable and legal things openly! There is a lot of money in the capital bank now that cannot be borrowed, and it is just that people like the Taiwei need to help you!"
"I can find a way to find a way for the Beijing Bank, but it's really difficult to deal with the Sansi!"
"Taiwei, let me say something inappropriately. When will the three corpses cover up the sky when the three corpses can cover up the situation in the court? Although the provincial head of the three corps is known as the plan, he is still under the jurisdiction of the prime minister in the political affairs hall. As long as the ministers nodded and the capital bank is willing, what can the three corps do? As for Kaifeng Prefecture, isn't it the territory of the Tai corps itself?"
Feng Shiyuan was still hesitant, obviously worried about causing serious consequences to implicate himself. The fate of Master Liu was a lesson from the past. Taishu was usually called for the wind and rain, but when something happened, the body was gone. As a public official, robbing food from the court was to fight for the big ones. If you want to do it in the long run, you must be careful. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
Li Zhongtan sighed: "I know what the Taiwei is worried about, so I'd just explain it clearly. Why doesn't the bank allow the bank to lend money to the treasury? Because he built banks and companies, he made money and made money from the rich people in the world. How many rich people are there in the world? This dynasty is not like before. There are no thousands of patrons and countless servants in the rich family, and they can't make any trouble. What really makes the court headache is that the poor people can't survive. As long as someone climbs up and calls, they will gather and stir up the world's turmoil. Therefore, the method Xu took great pains to find is that the people's jobs without exception. What money can be the easiest in the world? The Taiwei naturally helps powerful and wealthy families to make money from the poor people. Don't think that the poor people have no money in their hands, and they have the largest number of people in the world, and gather sand to form a tower. This is the real thing.
We open these companies to lend out the money from the court and hand it over to the powerful families, so that they can earn money from the poor people. The powerhouse is like a wolf or a tiger. The money goes into their quota and lends it to the people. It is a foregone conclusion that collects interest. Who dares not repay their money? The only thing that is to worry about is that these powerful families are greedy and do not know how to restrain themselves, and finally make a big case. At that time, the Taiwei was afraid that someone would be thrown out to be a scapegoat. So if this matter is done, the key is that the Taiwei must work hard in Kaifeng Prefecture. When there is no major event in the past, all the cases in the quota will be suppressed, and the big things will be turned into small things and small things. In short, don’t make trouble in the court, and everything will be fine. When the limelight is wrong, lock all these companies in time and get out of it. At that time, the money has been made enough, and the quality warehouse doesn’t need to make money like this. Isn’t that just right?"
"If the provincial governor believes that Yuanhao must rebel, it would be better to prepare in advance. As long as he has years of savings and the Guanzhong production, it would be better to support the war in the northwest for several years. However, the difficulty of the border states along Shaanxi is not here, but how the grain and grass from Guanzhong are transported to the border. Xiaguan has many places on Fuyan Road and Huanqing Road, where mountains and rivers are broken and ridges are crisscrossed, and there is no road to drive. He can only use donkeys and mules and camels to carry grain, or he can rely on the people to carry it on the back. Xiaguan originally wanted to build a road, but it was too difficult, and the road did not support it, and it was not successful in the end. Although Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road are also many mountains, they are not as broken as the other two roads, and there are big rivers. One is to use water transportation, and the other can build roads along the river valley, so it is not that difficult. If there is war in the northwest, it is still difficult to build two roads."
This spring, when Xu Ping and many other court officials kept saying that Yuan Hao would rebel in the future, the Qinzhou magistrate finally brought the military horses in charge of Gouqin, Long, Feng, Jie, Chengzhou, Fengxiangfu Road, and Qinfeng Road was officially independent, and Shaanxi Road formed the four military routes of the Fuyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan and Qinfeng. However, the officials along the border were different in their understanding. Some people really thought that Yuan Hao would rebel and actively prepared, while most people thought that it was a big deal and that Yuan Hao could not make any big noise.
Guanzhong has a fertile land of thousands of miles and abundant resources. Qin State relies on this to unify the world. More than a thousand years have passed. Although the environment there is now cannot be compared with that of the Qin and Han dynasties, it is not too difficult to organize well and support a 200,000 to 300,000 troops. The finances of the Song Dynasty in history were unable to support it. The bigger reason was that the efficiency was, and the money was not known where it was spent.
The military and country have two layers of skin. This is a stubborn system problem and cannot be solved by cleverness. Xu Ping can transport food and grass in and trade with new currencies. He does not need to use iron coins like in history. However, if the efficiency of military spending is not solved, the war there will still become a bottomless pit for finance.
When the Song army fought, because in terms of military system, there were basically no logistics support units, and the supply of food and grass has always been a fatal key. The imperial guard system has been along the Five Dynasties. The warlords of the Five Dynasties believed that food was from the enemy and from the people. The food and grass needed for the army was mainly plundered. In fact, it was similar to the logistics support system of northern tribes fighting, but there was no guarantee. If you need anything, just go out to rob. After entering the Song Dynasty, the army faced its own people in combat. How could it be plundered? The military system could not change drastically, so it was repaired on the original basis, changing from plundering the army to buying it from merchants. This was not intentionally allowing merchants to participate in the military logistics, but there was no way, and there was no other space in the system.
In the matter of transporting supplies to combat troops, commercial behavior cannot be as efficient as imagined, otherwise there would be no wartime military control. Astronomical currency was spilled out in the sky, and no one could tell who it was in, and perhaps a large part of it even entered the pockets of the invaders. As a result, the officers and soldiers on the front line had no food or drink, and the nearby state army was plundered to make a fortune, and a large amount of food and grass was rotten on the road. People with paths made a fortune, and the national finance could not support it.
