Chapter 34 Fencing(2/2)
Go downwind.
However, Lu Yihao was the one who did the work. After being silent for a while, he nodded slowly and made a conclusion in Wu's cry: "Your Majesty, Liangzhe and Jiangdong (Jiangnan East Road) are not very worried, because this
There are far more scholars here than in the ordinary households, and even in the ordinary households there are many literary styles. The so-called scholar rebellion will not happen for three years, so there is no need to be afraid of them... But what about Lianghuai, Jiangxi, and Fujian roads? Some of these places have fierce folk customs.
There are also places where people worship witchcraft and Taoism. Who knows if there will be trouble? Therefore, I think that the government will send at least 10,000 imperial troops to the north of the Yangtze River, and they must prepare ships and make all preparations... and
It must be the imperial army with the best military discipline."
"Then let's do this. We formally issued a decree and asked Wang Gui, the former deputy commander of the Imperial Army, to lead 10,000 troops to garrison at Wuwei Army. They once marched north here and are familiar with the place." Zhao Jiu immediately agreed. "And.
Mr. Lu, please work harder and make sure that the local officials of Wuweijun are more honest and don't cause any trouble like that day when Qianzhou suppressed the rebellion and didn't allow the imperial camp sergeants to stay or provide supplies."
"Your Majesty." Lu Yihao immediately bowed slightly.
"Now that the two husbands are here, do you have anything else to remind me about the issue of sharing the land with the family?" Zhao Jiu thought for a while and continued to ask.
"Yes." Xu Jingheng said sternly. "I would like to ask the officials. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been a common practice to rent Yong and prepare it. Here, silk was used as the service money, and the silk and the grain from the field rent were added together.
It is made by men farming and women weaving in small households, so it can last for a long time. But after the tenants move into the acres, the silk that the people rarely pay has to be transferred to the ordinary households. But where did the ordinary households get so much silk? And itself
Without silk, whether you buy it or collect money directly, you will inevitably worry about the shortage of silver and copper. Not to mention, from the perspective of unifying the system and preventing slippery officials from irritating the people, it is an ordinary small household and will never be added.
After the tax collectors and tenants moved into the land, they should also abolish the collection of silk and transfer money and grain to them... Although money and grain can be transferred, it is equivalent to forcing the people to sell the silk, and then the price will be lowered by the wealthy merchants. This
So what?”
Zhao Jiu listened to the other party's narration, but another word came to his mind instinctively, and that was a whip method.
It can only be said that since ancient times, those important reforms have been an inevitable trend of history... However, the current problem is that the Song Dynasty's shortage of precious metals is unprecedented. Just relying on the few ships of precious metals exchanged trade from Japan,
It's just a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention, Xu Jingheng’s final reminder is also correct...any behavior that forces the common people to participate in abnormal trade will result in the common people being exploited one more time.
Therefore, now this one-step method of whipping is just spinning around in your own mind. If you really do it, you are really asking for your own death.
However, Zhao Jiu, who has been the emperor for seven or eight years, is no longer a junior brother. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't have a good way to deal with this matter, but there are two principles... the so-called principles
, that is to say, an unshakable proposition like the basic laws of phenomena in the original science... First, in any case, we cannot put the cart before the horse and let the benevolent government that reduces the burden on the people at the bottom turn into bad government, so we can push the trouble to the situation.
I don’t want the common people to be in trouble; I don’t care about the situation. If the poor and small households can’t do it, they can just continue to collect silk. Secondly, no matter what, this big policy of never increasing taxes and divvying up the land must be carried out, and things cannot be allowed to change.
Because of this kind of derivative trouble, we became afraid of the situation, which led to the situation where the old party attacked the new law."
Xu Jingheng quickly smiled and said: "The officials are overthinking, I have no such intention..."
"It doesn't necessarily have to be uniformly replaced with silver and copper. You can set a death law so that grain, silk, and money are in the same place." At this moment, Lu Yihao suddenly interrupted coldly. "A piece of cloth is equivalent to two coins, which is about two coins.
Shi Xinmi! At least in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, no one can say that this price is unfair! And if money, grain, and silk can be exchanged, the lack of silver and copper will not be a big problem."
Zhao Jiu and Xu Jingheng were both startled, and then had different reactions.
The former was overjoyed for a moment, but the latter sighed and immediately shook his head.
"When tax is collected every year, various economic and strategic envoys come forward to adjust the average price of grain and silk in the previous year and give a fair price." Zhao Jiu quickly explained to Xu Jingheng. "If there is a disaster, this kind of tax will be abandoned.
Price, delineate the disaster area, and deal with it specifically... To be honest, Mr. Xu, I was in Tokyo. Lin Shangshu told me about this matter. It was to unify the measurement and calculate the national income. However, the country is still at war, so it is not easy to implement it hastily.
But if we can first use the most important things, money, silk, and grain, it will be a big improvement."
"I'm not saying it's not good or impossible." Xu Jingheng saw the misunderstanding of Zhao Guan's family and quickly explained. "I just wanted to talk about this strategy as a backup. I even thought about allowing the people to have food from now until the end of the war.
Silk can be used to buy national debt... After all, grain can be used as military rations, silk can be used as military supplies, and the soldiers will not complain. In turn, the credibility of national debt can be used to stabilize the price of grain and silk..."
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't Mr. Xu directly talk about this good strategy earlier?"
"Because this kind of thing treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it is at most a backup temporary strategy." Xu Jingheng responded seriously. "Please think about it. If you use this strategy for a long time, over time, you will encounter Cai Jing in power and Zhu Meng."
As an economic strategist, who would have thought to what extent they would go to such a pricing strategy in order to conquer local areas? The Song Dynasty was so vast, and unified pricing across the country was unfair to many places, so after all, money must be flowing smoothly.
It is only right to let silk, silk and food circulate naturally among the people."
Zhao Jiu nodded suddenly, but first looked at Lu Yihao, then at Xu Jingheng, and then smiled bitterly: "So, Mr. Xu has been prepared for a long time. He just wants to remind me that the debt must be repaid after all?"
Xu Jingheng bowed slightly: "I'm just trying to be a minister... I'm not blaming Your Majesty. The court still has the intention of Xianggong Lu."
Zhao Jiu then smiled again.
But Lu Yihao suddenly said: "Since the official family has made determination and backup strategies, it is time to go ahead and do it! What happens after the Northern Expedition will be discussed after the Northern Expedition. The things here are originally started for the Northern Expedition!"
"I was about to borrow Xianggong Lu's sharpness!" Zhao Jiu immediately cheered up, and then thought of something again. "Since we want to do this, can the four people who submitted the letter give me a mission and make a gesture?"
Using political power to bribe scholar-bureaucrats and powerful right-wing households in order to reduce the resistance to the implementation of tax reform is a self-evident thing for the Zhao official family and the prime ministers. Moreover, although Lu Yihao is harsh on his colleagues and subordinates, he is still somewhat particular about his treatment of the official family.
Yes, he immediately nodded and responded:
"These four ministers all know the basics. Lu Xi is a native of Yuezhou and a son of the Prime Minister. In his early years, he started from counties and served as magistrate and general magistrate. He even promoted tea and salt affairs in Gyeonggi Province and once guarded Jingkang.
Chen Liu has enough practical experience... I thought I might as well be more generous and give him a general judge and let him go and check the fields personally; as for Chen Yi, although his father is just a local tycoon who can't read, after all,
He also died in Jingkang with the title of King Qin. He can be regarded as a son of a meritorious official. He can give an explanation to his father. If he is promoted to a county magistrate, he will definitely be grateful to the court. However, the other two are originally chaotic people. Let them
Just follow Bachelor Lu to apply for the newspaper..."
Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, but couldn't help but be curious: "Judging from the documents, Lu Xi and Chen Yi at least understand the characters, and Lu Xianggong said that they were the children of the prime minister and the hero, but why did they end up in the palace?
Where are you looking for?"
Lu Yihao turned his head and looked at Xu Jingheng without saying a word.
Xu Jingheng, who had the upper hand this time, was horrified and immediately asked, "What does Lu Xianggong mean?"
"So that Mr. Xu will know." Lu Yihao slightly cupped his hands. "The reason why Lu Xi ended up in this situation is because of the actions of Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu (Lv Haowen)..."
Xu Jingheng was at a loss for a moment.
But Lu Yihao did not show off, and directly handed over his hand again and said: "Lu Xi transferred from the southeast and worked under Zhu Meng, one of the six thieves. After the Jingkang incident, Emperor Taishang Yuansheng ascended the throne, and Lu Gongxiang and Xu Xianggong
He was suddenly able to use it, and deeply hated the Six Thieves and the New Party. However, he worked hard to fight against the Jin while at the same time carrying out raids on the court. He identified the Lu Min brothers who had just blocked the Jin as traitors, and then crossed them out with one stroke and expelled them.
After leaving the court... Poor people who were crossed out by the Prime Minister, how could they dare to seek a future, especially in the following years, when Lu Gongxiang and Xu Xianggong became more and more prosperous, so they had to give up their official careers in their thirties and forties, and from then on
He had been idle for seven or eight years, and it was said that he only enjoyed fencing at home all day long. His nephews, the eldest was in his teens and the youngest was less than ten years old, were all known as child prodigies, but he was forced to spend all day fencing at home.
"
Xu Jingheng was stunned, but he couldn't refute it...because he must have done this bad thing, but it happened that this bad thing was a political stain that he and Lu Haowen would never be able to wash away.
From the Jingkang period to the early Jianyan period, the two of them could never break away from the shackles of party struggle, especially Xu Jingheng. He retired early at that time, thinking that he would not take away a cloud with a wave of his sleeves, but unexpectedly he was not as good as Lu Haowen to pick up the clouds.
Yuan Xue, who has become half a saint day by day, was still captured today to do the 'promoting new laws' that he had always been afraid of and resisted... Of course, Lu Yihao probably never knew in his life that he was not as good as the central leader.
Politics is entirely the result of someone's "heartfelt words".
This fate is really strange.
"As for Chen Yi's father." Just when Mr. Xu's mind wandered to nowhere, Lu Yihao, who felt a little more comfortable, continued to clasp his hands and sigh amidst the crows of the crows. "It has nothing to do with Mr. Xu, but with the officials.
There is some connection with the family..."
This time it was Zhao Jiu's turn to be stunned.
"His father was also ill-fated, and the country was in trouble. He was a right-wing man but also a half-scholar, so he simply donated his family to join the army. But when he arrived in Tokyo, he didn't have much vision, so he voted for Liu Yanqing and died..." Lu Yihao rarely sighed with emotion.
."Since Liu Yanqing died, and then Liu Guangshi died, the imperial court will be counting the meritorious officials, and it will have to avoid taboos."
Zhao Jiu was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"However, it's okay to use Lu Xi, but his brother Lu Zai cannot be used." Lu Xianggong continued to remind.
"Oh?" Zhao Guanjia responded quickly.
"In Jingkangzhong, Lu Zai was appointed as the deputy envoy for transportation to the west of Beijing... He actually didn't dare to go... If he was used, I don't know how to explain it to Mr. Liu Ji." Lu Yihao smiled in response, but he didn't know where he was.
What are you laughing at?
Zhao Jiu nodded repeatedly and followed the good example.
