Zheng Lang also served as the Western Prefecture and was in charge of military power. Therefore, after receiving the urgent report, Pang Ji sent someone to notify Zheng Lang.

But Pang Ji didn't care much.

In recent years, barbarians rebelled, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were used to it. However, Zheng Lang was not careless and came to the Privy Council in person. Two years ago, he sent many scouts to the south. These scouts brought back a large amount of intelligence, at least they had done a good job in intelligence.

Zheng Lang found out the information and took it home to sort it out one by one. The next day, Yudutang summoned the ministers to discuss matters.

First, pass on the sorted information to everyone.

The main reasons for the Nong Zhigao incident were one of his ambitions, and the other was the expansion of the Annan Li Dynasty.

North Vietnam had always been a territory of China. In the early Song Dynasty, Ding Lian, the leader of Ding tribe, followed the twelve envoys and became a vassal of Jiaozhi, and had some ambitions. However, the Song Dynasty was busy unifying the country, especially the Later Han Dynasty. After pacifying the Later Han Dynasty, he was determined to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, and had no time to take care of it and let the Ding family grow stronger. Later, the Ding Dynasty changed internally. The former crown prince Ding Lian killed the crown prince Dinglang, and the eunuch Du Shi killed the Ding tribe and Ding Lian. Ruan Fu, Li Huan and others killed Du Shi and supported Ding Xuan ascended the throne. Then Li Huan took the initiative to attack the capital of Ding Dynasty Hualu.

The governor of Yongzhou, Hou Renbao, learned about this and submitted a report to Emperor Taizong of Song, requesting to take the opportunity to go south to attack. Emperor Taizong of Song sent Hou Renbao as the water and land transport envoy of Jiaozhou, and Sun Quanxing and Hao Shoujun and others led their troops to attack the Ding Dynasty. The Empress Dowager of Ding Dynasty, Yang Yun'e ordered Li Huan to prepare troops and horses. Li Huan learned from Zhao Kuangyin, and asked his general Fan Jubei to support him. He took the opportunity to depose Ding Xuan and claim to be the emperor. The Song army arrived and defeated Li Chao's army several times. Tens of thousands of people were killed, and Li Huan pretended to surrender, and Hou Renbao was a civil servant. Under the trap, Li Huan attacked the Song camp at night in Baitengjiang, and Hou Renbao died in battle. Chen Qinzuo led his army to retreat.

Li Huan pursued and was defeated. Then Li Huan learned about the attitude of Xixia towards the Khitan, sent prisoners, and submitted apology and tribute. Another reason was that the Song Dynasty's policies were in fact, inside and outside, and he was not interested in expanding territory. The attack on Xixia was just to get rid of the troubles in the west and get the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, but to get the terrain of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, making it difficult for the Hu people to move south. If there were fewer soldiers, it would be difficult to defeat the Li family, and it would be worth it to use too many troops. Under this idea, the Song Dynasty recognized the rule of Li Huan. In name, the Li family was still a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. But don't take it seriously.

The Li family was not strong at that time, and their control was only the friendship and love of the Tang Dynasty. After alleviating the hostility of the Song Dynasty, Li Huan began to expand, took the opportunity to capture Fengzhou, and sent troops to conquer Dujin, Weilong and other states located in the central and southern part of Ha Xuan Province in Vietnam. He occupied the Liaoren District of North Tai Province, Lang Son Province and Guangning Province to the north. There was only one sneak attack on the Song Dynasty, looting the residents of Hongzhen (Dongxing, Guangxi), cattle, livestock and food, and then there was no other conflict. In the third year of Xiangfu, Li Gongyun replaced Li

The clan established the Li Dynasty, expanded again, and defeated the Dali team. Originally, there was a large mountain area outside the two prefectures of Yong and Qin, which was used as an isolation belt to reduce direct conflicts with Yue and Li. However, the Yue and Li Dynasty was full of ambitions when seeing the weakness of the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty was still a giant for Yue and Li, and did not dare to attack the Song Dynasty head-on, so it entered the mountain area of ​​the Song Dynasty, and used them as front pawns to constantly harass and encroach on the Song Dynasty's territory.

This is the situation in Yue Li.

After Zheng Lang took the information home, he sorted it out for a long time and wrote it in more detail.

But there is one thing that is not written, isn’t Nong Zhigao Chinese?

It depends on how to analyze it. If we consider it from the perspective of unified integration, Outer Mongolia, central and northern Vietnam to northern Myanmar, Kashmir, Vladivostok, Northern Dynasties, etc. all belong to Chinese territory. Li Gongyun is also an authentic overseas Chinese. Can they be regarded as Chinese?

You can't be regarded as a Chinese, and Nong Zhigao's identity is very questioned.

It is also very difficult to analyze the area controlled by the Song Dynasty. Guangyuanzhou later became Vietnamese territory, and it may not really belong to the Song Dynasty territory in the Song Dynasty. They surrendered to the Song Dynasty, Dali, and Jiaozhi. The Song Dynasty did not regard Guangyuanzhou as its territory, without officials, and without taxation. On the contrary, even if it was tribute, it would be rewarded with a greater reward. However, Nong Zhigao was born in Tang Yuzhou and was born in Andeizhou. These areas were later Chinese territory. However, when they grew up, they stayed in Guangyuanzhou. Therefore, it was okay to say that he was a Chinese, or it could be said that he was a Vietnamese.

Then there was the grudge between the Song Dynasty and the Nong family.

The Song Dynasty was absolutely kind to the Nong family. From the perspective of grudges, this person was even more ungrateful than Yuan Hao!

At first, there were four major families in Guangyuan Prefecture. Wei Huang and Zhou Nong were jointly established. The Nong clan had close contacts with the Song regime. With the support of the Song Dynasty, the annexation struggle gradually grew. So his father Nong Quanfu owned Tang Youzhou (now Jingxi, Guangxi), and later occupied Wanyazhou (now Daxin County, Guangxi) and Wulezhou (now Fusui, Guangxi). At this time, Nong Quanfu had no ambitions. In the seventh year of Tiansheng, when Zheng Lang arrived in Zhengzhou, he handed all his land back to the Song Dynasty and went to Yongzhou to take his guard position. However, Zhang Qi, the transfer envoy made a serious mistake. Perhaps the Song Dynasty also needed the Nong clan general to take this buffer zone and not to accept the land, and continued to let Nong Quanfu take it.

Nong Quanfu finally developed ambitions.

Then there is the geographical location of Guangyuan Prefecture. Guangyuan Prefecture was called Pingyuan Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it went from Sichuan to Guizhou and mostly traveled to Tianzhou, Yongzhou, Guangxi to Jiaozhou. Pingyuan Pavilion was the only way to pass. This is the famous Yuyue Ancient Road. Many merchants in Sichuan and Sichuan transported silk and brocade to Jiaozhou, and exchanged them from Jiaozhou for famous incense, rhinoceros horns and ivory, which promoted the economic development of Guangyuan Prefecture.

Guangyuanzhou itself produces gold. The Dongguan family used the big hu to enrich gold and conquer the house. When they were playing games, they used a scoop of gold as a bet. This provided conditions for the Nong family to further grow. Later, some people with ulterior motives said that the Song Dynasty was greedy for the gold in Guangyuanzhou.

It's a joke, and Zheng Lang would not be greedy for this little gold. Even if there is sufficient gold source, how much can it be mined with the mining technology and smelting technology of the Song Dynasty? If so, Zheng Lang's golden fingers would be opened randomly, wouldn't he be able to get a fiscal revenue of hundreds of millions of yuan a year? How much gold, silver, copper and iron are needed for the minerals provided? It is enough to wrap the entire capital with copper. It is precisely because of the backward technology that not only do they have to earn much overseas or domestic mines, but they will waste more than 80% of them.

Without the support of the shallow mines of Japan, in history, the annual salary of 11 gold mines in the Zhao Zhen Dynasty was only about 15,000 taels. The actual output would not exceed 50,000 taels. Even if Guangyuanzhou was a rich gold area, the annual output of gold could not exceed 10,000 taels, and the cost would be excluded. The actual income would not exceed half. Ten years ago, Nong Zhigao was forced to offer one piece of gold to Jiaozhi, which weighed 122 taels. Nong Zhigao felt a pain. If it produced tens of thousands of taels of gold annually, could it hurt 120 taels of gold? Even if it received 5,000 taels of gold, what could the Song Dynasty use to do? Not only did the Song Dynasty look down on it, but the Yue Li Dynasty also looked down on it. The embezzlement of Guangyuanzhou was because the Yue Li Dynasty wanted to restore the old territory of Nanyue when the Qin Dynasty was in the ancient times, and the Yue Li Dynasty expanded the territory of the Yue Li Dynasty to Nanling.

In practice, the Song Dynasty not only could not see these golds, but instead sent Nong Quanfu back to Guangyuan Prefecture. Guangyuan Road was placed outside the boundary of the Song Dynasty. Now, the Guangyuan Road several prefectures on the map of the Privy Council still did not belong to the territory of the Song Dynasty. Then strictly sealed the roads, blocked traffic, and prohibited commercial exchanges between Guangyuan Road and the mainland. Only one person clearly realized that the Song Dynasty's practices would cause future troubles. Shao Ye, the pacifier of Guangnan West Road, submitted the "Four Map of Water and Land and Water Control of Yizhou Mountains and Rivers" to the four maps of Yongzhou to Jiaozhou. Song Zhenzong actually threw them away and said to the eunuchs around him: "Jiangzhou is malaria and Yizhou is dangerous. If you raise troops to attack and seize, there will be many casualties. And the ancestors have broad boundaries. You should guard yourself and yourself, why bother to mobilize the people? A useless place."

As a result, Zheng Lang looked for this map many times, but if he didn't fight, he would stop. Once he fought, he would have great reference value, but he could not find it.

The internal policy of peace and security is forced by the Western Xia Khitan externally, and the weak ethnic policy is that only restrain oneself and not only does not benefit, but instead send a large amount of gifts to appease the barbarians. Even Emperor Taizong of Song heard that the Rong people came to reject it, so the Song Dynasty was not interested in you. If he attacked these places, he would inevitably suffer a lot of casualties. Therefore, Emperor Zhenzong of Song was not completely wrong at that time.

The Song Dynasty was not concerned about it, and Nong Quanfu was happy. He closed the door and secretly enjoyed it. The more he did it, it was more and more excessive. This amount of gold was nothing to a country, but it was a considerable income for a backward area. He used gold digging to lure the people of China to make the number of people. He was rich and strong. Then he observed that the Song Dynasty did not respond. Nong Quanfu raised his courage and called himself Emperor Zhaosheng and changed his state to the immortal country. However, Nong Quanfu did not say that to the outside world, saying that the Song Dynasty looked down on him, and in anger, he worked hard with Zi Zhigao. So he plundered the Song Dynasty's Longzhou from the Song Dynasty and obtained the seven sources of the Southern Changgang Jiaozhi.

The Song Dynasty still did not respond, but Jiaozhi did not let them go. Since the Song Dynasty ignored the place and stretched out its claws to force Nong Quanfu to surrender. It happened that the father and son of the Nong family were uneasy and often made enemies to help Yue Li find excuses for conquering. Ten years ago, Li Dezheng sent troops and captured Nong Quanfu blackmailed the Nong family. At this time, Nong Zhi was fourteen years old and felt pain in offering 120 taels of gold. Naturally, this little gold would not be put in Li Dezheng's eyes and beheaded him, and issued an edict saying: I have the world, and all the lands are ministers, and all the vassals are tribute. If Guanfu still be arrogant, establishes a country and usurps the trumpet, harass the border gangsters. I Gong Xingtian Deyang, Shi Guangyuan, and captured Cunfu and other five people, and all the lands were pacified, and then they were beheaded in the city.

When Zhao Zhen saw this edict, his face was very exciting.

What do you, Jiaozhi, who is so big, say that there is a world where all the people are subordinates?

Nong Zhigao was carrying hatred and worked hard again. Regardless of his right or wrong, this indomitable spirit was indeed not simple. He also established the Dali Kingdom in Tangyu to compete with Jiaozhi. However, this time he became smart and asked the Song Dynasty to support the subordinates in order to obtain a position to rule the various departments.

But the Song Dynasty was not a fool, could it agree?

Without the Song Dynasty, there would be no Nong family that would later grow. Nong Quanfu returned to his hometown to command the tribes and assist the Song Dynasty in governing the border. It is common in Chinese border history books, especially the various measures taken by the Tang Dynasty against the Western Turks. The Song Dynasty did not make any mistakes. However, the father and son of the Nong family not only became emperors, but also occupied a large area of ​​territory of the Song Dynasty and often plundered. See if Ye Silu has such a large area of ​​Tubo territory. Has any invaded the Song Dynasty? The ambition has been written on his face. Then give him a name and unite the tribes, what consequences will it have? It must be the second Li Jiqian and Li Yuanhao!

Moreover, the Song Dynasty was originally using troops in the northwest and had no time to care about it. Aren’t you father and son the emperor? If you solve it yourself, it has nothing to do with our Song Dynasty. A very rational approach cannot be analyzed according to the later territory of China, but must be analyzed according to the territory of the Song Dynasty. For example, in the war between the Western Xia and the Khitan, could the Song Dynasty send troops to help the Western Xia and start a war with the Khitan? If it really does, it would be a fool.

Yue Li sent troops to attack again, Nong Zhigao was defeated and captured, but the Song Dynasty was difficult to manage in this area, and the same was true for Yue Li. Li Dezheng general Nong Zhigao'an in Shenglong City (Hanoi), and was given the title of Prince and Taibao. Nong Zhigao Ming received it, but secretly recruited talents and accumulated strength. He also secretly formed Li Dezheng's side and wanted to seize the country of Yue Li, but he fled. Yue Li also annoyed him, just like the Song Dynasty was repeatedly tormented by Li Jiqian, and finally bought An. He was granted the title of governor of Guangyuan Prefecture, and was given the title of throne, thunder, fire, Qi, Po, and Silang Prefecture. However, Nong Zhigao established the Southern Heaven Kingdom in Andezhou, and changed the year to Jingrui. Li Yue sent Grand Marshal Guo Shengyi to fight for the war this time, but he returned. Nong Zhigao tried his best to attack Yongzhou, an important town on Guangnan West Road in early September this year, and the urgent report was about Nong Zhigao's invasion.

Zheng Lang solemnly summoned the ministers, and the result of the discussion disappointed him. It was just an order to prepare for Jiangnan West Road and Fujian Road, which was also a helpless move. In the entire Guangdong and Guangxi region, there were only a few camps of injunctions in the Song Dynasty. Zheng Lang thought about it, but finally did not make a statement.

Just make Lingnan as decayed as in history, and then make the final solution. Otherwise, if you use troops to Lingnan and Meishan barbarians, you will be annoyed by Yanchen. Without using troops, the entire south and southwest will not be able to continue to operate. However, from now on, you will have to prepare.

The Imperial Order of the Zang family arrived in the capital. Yang Shousu formed a new agreement with Zheng Lang according to the order, agreed to Zheng Lang's method of exchanging money and grain for large livestock, and agreed on the price of each large livestock. Finally, Yang Shousu asked: "Will the tribe really surrender to our country?"

Even though we knew that the disguised support of the Song Dynasty was actually a cup of poison. Once we traded with the Bud on a large scale, the Khitans would be disgusted and the two countries had to get into evil. But for the sake of national use, Xixia had to swallow this cup of poison. Since that was the case, Yang Shousu began to make the worst plan.

"Let's wait and see." Zheng Lang smiled.

It would be better if Xixia did not hook up with Bu, but there was no room for recovery for Xia and Liao countries!

Zheng Lang was uneasy and the people of Xixia were even more shameless. Anyway, they used each other and had not sold a good horse to the Song Dynasty. They were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Even the war horses that were traded through the slogan were replaced one by one, and the good horses were intercepted, and the inferior horses were traded with the Song Dynasty.

The scout also brought a message from Xixia that a minister in Xixia offered a plan to castrate all the public animals before handing them over to the Song Dynasty. However, the bastard's idea was not approved, but another idea was passed, sending more public animals to reduce the proportion of female animals.

When the news was brought to the Privy Council, Zheng Lang heard it and just smiled. How many livestock and horses were obtained for a transaction of 800,000 yuan? Can the Xixia people get enough for this number? No matter how many animals and horses are, can the Xixia people get? No matter how many horses are obtained, they are mainly for agricultural purposes, not military purposes. On the contrary, if Xixia opens its mind and offers more good horses, Zheng Lang is still worried about where to raise them. As a military war horse, more than 100,000 war horses have been raised on several sides, which is enough for the Song Dynasty.

Delivered to the people one by one, of course, the imperial court suffered a large amount of deficit due to it.

He Tan was calculating the small accounts, and Zheng Lang replied: "Civil He, how much money does a battle cost? The imperial court only needs to pay hundreds of thousands of chunks of loss to calmly weaken the power of Liao and Xia. If this is why the Xixia is wiped out in the future, how much will the funds for the garrison in the northwest be reduced in just one year? And how much food will these livestock increase? The country not only needs a lot of money, but also needs food."

He Tan will not say anything more.

In fact, the disasters have been too hard in recent years. In March, the peach blossom rain, the Shanghu Dao broke the dike in the north, and the river and Yongji Canal poured into the Ganning army, and entered Youzhou. However, because the court had sufficient food, it actually survived safely. Then the summer harvest and autumn harvest both ushered in a bumper harvest. Disasters continued, and the country became better day by day.

This situation almost made some people sigh that even God could not stop the Song Dynasty from moving towards prosperity and strength.

Zheng Lang still received the harvest in autumn and continued to order the collection of grain.

He didn't think of a solution for the Yellow River. Something will happen next year, and it's not small.

Food was still the biggest problem of the Song Dynasty. The successive disasters caused the rice price in the capital to fluctuate between 90 and 100 ci, and occasionally rose to 120 ci. This is the benefit of Jiangdongwei and the use of labor for relief in recent years, and encouraging the people to raise large livestock. Otherwise, the rice price in the capital would have risen to more than 150 ci at this time.

Naturally, the ministers did not know about this. Although they knew that these measures had an impact, they still thought that the price of grain was expensive. At the beginning of the country, the rice price was only one bulldozh and twenty cents, but now it has increased by five times. What is the reason? Although the arable land has begun to grow, the population has increased faster, and grain has always been in short supply.

Pang Ji also did something when he went to Xifu.

Scavenge troops!

Zheng Lang has laid off many soldiers in recent years. According to Shaanxi's information, Pang Ji still felt that it was not enough. Because the roads are far away, the cost of raising soldiers in Shaanxi is higher. A soldier costs an average of 70 yuan, which does not include the loss of weapons.

Moreover, the different soldiers in Shaanxi were mainly used for combat. Although they had been eliminated several times, there were many weak soldiers. The court saved costs and organized the Shaanxi army into the Poche Army. These Poche Army were cut. The number of released soldiers was not as many as 35,000 in history. After all, a batch of them were cut. However, this time the cut was stricter. According to He Tan and Pang Ji's proposal, all those who were fifty or weak and were short-term, were cut out. So nearly 20,000 were cut off again, and those who were released cheered and returned home. There were still more than 50,000 people in the residence, so they were still crying and wished they could all go.

The reason for this is not that the soldiers are treated poorly. The Pochet Army is a local army, not the Eastern Army transferred from the capital. Although it costs seventy yuan a year to raise a soldier, the actual cost factor is missing, and the salary is very poor. The Eastern Army is different. They take turns to Shaanxi to garrison, and they have business trip fees, relocation fees and other subsidies, and they do not stay in Shaanxi for life. They will be transferred back to the capital in a few years. Therefore, most of the Pochet Army soldiers are unwilling to stay in the army. This is another reason why Pang Ji specially cuts the Pochet Army.

However, the repeated cuts by the court made some border generals panic. If they were to lay off like this, how many troops could be retained, so the public was not allowed to discuss. Moreover, those who talked about soldiers were all accustomed to archery and horses, and were not happy to return to farming. Once they lost their clothes and food, they would gather together as thieves. Zhao Zhen did not understand, and after hearing too much, he was also suspicious. Zhao Zhen himself was not relieved if he continued to lay off like this. Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo reported together: "Now that the public and private sectors are exhausted, the emperors and emperors are not the case. It is because they are too many soldiers. If they do not reduce them, there will be no way to stop. If they gather as thieves, I would like to die."

Guarantee with death.

The wheel is for the thieves? Listen to the cheers of the soldiers who were released.

Zhao Zhen explained it.

Li Zhaoliang also wrote to the letter that there were too many soldiers in Shaanxi who were exempted from Poche, and some soldiers often curled their necks and bent their popliteals, believing that they were short and cheating the lawsuit. The officials who cut off the troops came over and shrank their necks down. I was only 1.5 meters away. Let me go home. It was not just one person or two, but many people. In the end, the officials who measured their height could not bear it and held the soldier's head to measure their height.

After seeing this edict, Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo looked at each other and laughed.

But finding evidence for Pang Ji and saying to Zhao Zhen: "If these soldiers do not want to join the army, they are allowed to go home to farm. What is the fraud that is like?"

It was still not too much. When Zheng Lang arrived in Jingyuan Road, it was the war period. Some soldiers were greedy for life and feared death, and often self-harm to desert military service. In fact, even if these soldiers were used, they would be difficult to play a role on the battlefield, and they would be idle to work on the country's expenses.

The large-scale layoffs had immediate results. Since the Jingyou disaster, the Song Dynasty's finances have not improved. Until this year, the treasury was truly beginning to become richer.

First, the cost of layoffs was saved, and second, the commercial tax. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song, the commercial tax was only 4 million yuan, and by the end of Emperor Zhenzong, it was more than 12 million yuan. During the Qingli period, the cost of war was harsh, and it increased to more than 22 million yuan. After the war, the merchants complained, and the court successively introduced various tax reduction and exemption policies, which once dropped to more than 7 million yuan. It was not a decline in the scale of business, but a policy advantage, and the court took the initiative to reduce the various commercial tax rates.

Zheng Lang did not interfere too much in various commercial tax policies, but the same policy in history, but Huangyou's commercial tax reached 15 million yuan in the first year. Part of it was the expansion of commercial scale driven by the Ping An Supervision Commission, and part of it was the commercial tax brought by the middle class released by the improved exemption law. It is not until today that Zheng Lang understood one truth, why did the middle class measure more in the past when a national standard was measured. Their tax was best levied, and there were taxes to be collected. The heads on both sides were hard to shave, and it was too late to rescue the poor people. How much tax was collected? The wealthy and wealthy families were too deep, and it was very doubtful that how much tax could they be collected. In fact, Wang Anshi could do it, but the market law and the equalization method obliterated this value.

Furthermore, the income of Ping An Supervision and the income of Mizhou Maritime Bureau is also a considerable amount. The efficient and honest governments also save a large number of unnecessary waste expenses.

One in and one out of the court has created a large amount of surplus.

Zheng Lang then started preparing for banking matters. He deliberately suppressed it for a long time, and deliberately confused it. He did not mention the various expenses in the middle and the bad debts and bad debts. At first, the merchants were waiting and watching, and each of them had small plans. However, in the backlog of these assets, many people had no way to invest, and they also wanted to invest, either by mergers. The country was stable for a long time, and after several generations of accumulation, the wealth in their hands increased, and investors could only invest in land, which was also the reason for the increase in the merger. The actual return on investment in land was not very high. Normally, the average price of one acre of land in the Song Dynasty was about two jin of money, and the annual rent was one stone, the rice was less than 400 cents, and the wheat was only 200 cents, which was far less than the return brought by Ping An Supervision.

The court was not in a hurry, and the two conveniences would change positions. It was some businessmen and big investors' turn to be anxious. Many ministers asked about the establishment of Zheng Lang's bank. It was not because the ministers were concerned about it, but because some people behind them were concerned about it. Zheng Lang never answered. As the harvest came, the state's funding was not tight, and the court had the confidence to speak. In addition, dragging it out also provided time for preparing a large amount of currency. By the end of the year, the Ping An Regulatory Commission once again brought a large amount of refined copper, which could cast a batch of copper coins to increase the amount of currency. Therefore, Zheng Lang was pressed until the end of the year before preparing for the formal establishment of the Bank Department.

Before it was established, two things were done.

The first thing is to take out 15 million yuan to repay all the debts that the state has owed over the years. Not only does it have to be owed, but also some of the official positions sold. After the military service in Shaanxi, the treasury was empty and many official positions were sold, which was not worth the cost of selling. Nothing else, officials also received salary, which was not as good as those who were assigned to the office. There were many subsidies for various subsidies than those who were assigned to the office. However, the salary was strictly paid according to the position, and there would be a little subsidy. After getting a small amount of money, the state would need to pay the salary of these people every year. And some people were not happy and often complained. All the officials were exempted from official positions. The court used to get you how much money they had received, and I would give it back to you.

It seems to be rich and powerful, but in fact the former is to restore national credibility, especially banks, which are more important. The latter's approach is thought-provoking.

The second thing began to declare an edict, selling 50% of the shares, 100% of the shares in total, 50% of the court, and 50% of the private ones. As for the management method, you can refer to Ping An Supervision. But it is not the original 30 million yuan, and Zheng Lang also doubted whether he could sell such a high price. So he lowered the price himself, but there was one advantage. He originally prepared 30 million yuan, but now it has reduced it to 25 million yuan, which would make the merchant feel that he was asking for a cheap price. The slash of funds was automatically terminated, and the banking department was officially established with the slash of funds.

In order to mortgage in the future, the jurisdiction of the seventeen prefectures was divided. If banks of each prefecture were added in the future, they would be re-divided. In order to save the costs of each merchant and facilitate the participation of small and medium-sized merchants, the amount of funds raised by banks in the seventeen prefectures was allocated, so that the people could pay nearby, and there was no need to come to the capital in person. However, when purchasing the deeds, the corresponding principal must be prepared, and these principals must be copper coins or equivalent gold and silver, and cannot be replaced by cloth.

At the end of the year, this edict was announced to the world, and Zheng Lang was waiting nervously.

Nong Zhigao had a new movement. He wanted to resist Yue, but his strength was insufficient, and he always wanted to drag the Song Dynasty into the water. However, the Song Dynasty did not make any progress. How could he turn the heart of the Song emperor? It happened that the Song Dynasty had a new magistrate and asked Chen Gong to come to Yongzhou to serve as the magistrate. Nong Zhigao came up with a method that he thought was very smart. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
