Chapter 212 The Financial Crisis of Song Dynasty

For 7 million acres of land, the average price per mu is 0.5 guan, so the total cost is only 3.5 million guan.

Some ministers actually proposed a more crude method: confiscate everything.

That is definitely not possible. If this happens, the chain reaction will immediately spread throughout the 24th Road of the Song Dynasty, and the good situation will inevitably be messed up.

Not long ago, Yang Bing's group was killed and their homes were ransacked. Dozens of officials confiscated nearly 1.5 million yuan.

In this riot, another 1.5 million yuan was copied, plus the fields that were copied.

With such a write-off, from the promulgation of the New Deal to the present day when the court has purchased all the land, Zhao Ning actually did not spend a penny.

And they also collected 4 million shi in summer tax.

The white wolf with empty hands also solved the problem of land annexation in Gyeonggi Road.

And we can also take this opportunity to strengthen the Agricultural Affairs Department and rectify the Gyeonggi Province tax department.

Kill multiple birds with one stone.

On July 16, officials from the Ministry of Revenue immediately left the capital, split up and began buying land in various states and counties along the Gyeonggi Road.

Moreover, the imperial decree was issued, and state and county officials rushed to stabilize disputes over land in various places. The imperial court was ready to take action to stabilize people's livelihood.

As soon as this incident was announced, it caused a flood and tsunami in the capital, especially in Tokyo.

In order to stabilize people's livelihood, Zhao Guan's family actually wanted to purchase all the land in Gyeonggi Road. This is how they love the people like their own children!

Zhao Ning's reputation was soaring to the sky at this moment.

On July 17, fire clouds dyed half the sky red.

Wang Zonglio, who has not been seen for a long time, is back.

Wang Zonglio hummed a little tune and walked with cheerful steps into the palace and arrived at the Wende Hall.

After seeing Zhao Guan's house, Wang Zonglio's face bloomed with a flower-like smile: "Guan's family, I have returned from Jiangning."

Zhao Ning put down the brush in his hand: "I'm back."

"Guan family, good news!"

"What good news?"

"Jiang Ning's soap sold for 20,000 yuan and earned 2 million yuan!" Wang Zonglio laughed so hard that his jaw almost dropped.

"The officials and people in Jiangning love soap more than Tokyo!"

Zhao Ning was also shocked and asked: "Where do so many rich people come from?"

"I found a few big businessmen in Jiangning and sold the goods to them. They went to Yangzhou and Suzhou to sell exclusively, but the money has already been received."

Good guy, this old boy Wang Zonglio even knows how to play the game of the distributor!

It is true that in the Song Dynasty, there was a method for collecting commercial taxes called the purchase system, which was the commercial tax contracting system.

In small places, set a specific commercial tax amount, then cooperate with a contractor, ask the contractor to get money regularly, and the contractor will go out to collect the commercial tax.

The Song Dynasty had a variety of activities in the field of commerce. It is reasonable for Wang Zonglio to think of channel merchants.

"By the way, Guan Jia, you see, this is the latest name I gave to the soap, Qing Yu Pavilion, as elegant as jade."

Wang Zonglio felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He had never seen him like this before. Ever since he was assigned to sell soap, it seemed that a door to a new world had opened.

"I have another suggestion."

"Official orders."

"I'll let you take charge of Taifu Temple. From now on, you will be my Minister of Taifu Temple. How about that?"

Taifu Temple in the Song Dynasty was no ordinary yamen. It was the core yamen of Wang Anshi's political reform.

Now that the New Deal has been fully made public, Zhao Ning is not afraid to start launching a new business deal.

Taifu Temple is mainly responsible for the government decrees of national property, as well as treasury and cashiers, commercial taxes, balance, trade and other matters.

He also led Zuozang Dongxiku, Neizangku, Fengchenku, Qihouku, Yuanfengku, Buku, tea warehouse, miscellaneous warehouse, Grain Institute, Audit Department, Dushang Taxation, Bianhe Shangxiasuo, Cai

The upper and lower bounds of the river are all promoted by the Municipal Yi Department, the upper boundary of the Municipal Yi, the lower boundary of the Municipal Yi, miscellaneous sales, miscellaneous stores, cross-border warehouses, pawnshops, Heji Bureau, Huimin Bureau, shop and housekeeping, charcoal field, incense

Drug depot and other departments.

Wang Zonglio was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Zhao Guanjia continued: "Take the commercial tax and audit out of Taifu Temple. From now on, you can concentrate on running Taifu Temple and include your Qingyu Pavilion. How about that?"

"In the official family, this, this, this... my ministers are dull, their talents are sparse and their knowledge is shallow. I am afraid that this minister of the Taifu Temple will not be able to hold a big position!"

"Hey! Uncle, how can you be so presumptuous about yourself? You are my Wolong! This matter must be done by you! I am very optimistic about you!" Zhao Ning had a smile on his face. I am doing this for your own good.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Look how well you sell soap!"

Mr. Wang touched his cheek and said: "Guan family, why are you a minister?"

"You are my great cleverness. Looking at the court, who can sell soap for a hundred guan a piece and still have it sold out by the public? Who? No one can do it except you, Wang Zongliu!"

Wang Zonglio showed a proud smile.

Zhao Ning continued to flatter: "I will not only let you take charge of Taifu Temple, but also give you the title of guest professor at the University of Tokyo Business School, so that those scholars will listen to your lectures and look at you with admiration.

Lieutenant Wang, just tell me whether you can handle this matter or not?"

"Yes! Of course!" Wang Zongliu straightened his chest immediately, "What about Gao Qiu?"

"Gao Qiu?"

"That guy is not a good guy, he..."

"Uncle, how are the soaps from Jiangling Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, and Chengdu Prefecture?"

"In the official family, Gao Qiu is not a good person..."

"Mr. Taifu Temple! Come, come."

"Official..."

"come over!"

The two walked to the map, and Zhao Ning asked: "Did you encounter any trouble when you went to the southeast this time?"

"Yes, there really is."

"What trouble?"

"Lack of money."

"Lack of money?"

"It's not that I'm short of money."

“People are short of money?”

"The people are short of money, but it is not a shortage of money. How do you describe this problem? There is a lack of money that can be traded in the market, and many people even barter for things."

"Jiang Ning?"

"Yes, Jiang Ning, this is what Jiang Ning's businessmen told me."

This reminded Zhao Ning of the money shortage in the southeast that the young lady named Qian Jinshu told him before.

Zhao Ning thought for a while and said, "How about handing over banknotes?"

"Pay the money? Hand over the son?"

"Yes, Jiaozi."

Wang Zonglio was shocked: "Guan Jia, that thing is..."

"What is it?"

"In the four years of Chongning, more than 32 million guan were issued. One hundred guan of Jiaozi was only worth 25 guan of copper coins. The people no longer believed in Jiaozi."

Chongning is the reign title of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. What he said was that Cai Jing minted large amounts of money at random and opened the money printing press, causing the Song Dynasty paper money to depreciate significantly.

Think about it, if more than 30 million yuan was directly printed, how could it not depreciate?

You must know that the circulation of commodities in ancient times is not comparable to that of the 21st century. The Jiaozi you issue will be backlogged in the same area for a long time and will be difficult to disperse. Of course, this can easily cause inflation.

If you print dollars in eagle sauce and the whole world digests them, that's because money circulates very fast in the 21st century.

If currency circulation is slow, most of the dollars printed will be accumulated domestically for a long time, quickly causing inflation.

Therefore, although the Song Dynasty was the economic center of Asia, and countries also liked the currency of the Song Dynasty very much, due to the different circumstances of the times, they could not use the same method casually.

However, it is also true that copper coins are flowing out.

It is also true that the Song Dynasty is currently facing a money shortage.
