Wang Qing said impatiently: "What's all the fuss about?"

The messenger was so anxious that his legs were shaking: "The army... our army... our army has been defeated..."

His voice reached the inner hall, and everyone who was discussing in the inner hall was stunned, and suddenly fell into a dead silence.

What scares me most is that the air suddenly becomes quiet.

Wang Qing was at a loss, and everyone immediately dispersed.

When Wang Qing went out to check the situation, Yue Fei's troops had already reached the bottom of the city tower. The rebels were defeated and suffered numerous casualties.

Screams were heard one after another, and everyone on the tower had long since fled.

Rebel: We are here to get rich with you, not to die with you.

Two days later, Cai Mao and Li Guang in Shouchun received news that the rebels had been defeated.

The newly appointed prison chief in Huaixi is called Zhou Yan. This guy is a political opportunist. He had an idle official before and was recommended to the Political Affairs Hall by Qin Hui.

Qin Hui has done a lot for the New Deal faction in the past two years. He was also a staunch militant member in the first year of Jingkang, and was favored by the New Deal faction.

For example, Zhao Ding praised Qin Hui in front of Zhao Ning more than once, and even Chen Dong also praised Qin Hui many times.

Ironically, in official history, both Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun strongly recommended Qin Hui.

However, Zhao Ding, a famous minister who was the leader of the Four Wise Ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, was exiled and forced to death by Qin Hui whom he recommended.

This Zhou Yan cannot be said to be incompetent, but his ability to observe people's opinions and control political trends is obviously higher than his personal administrative ability.

When he came to Huaixi, he first fawned over Li Guang, the transfer envoy to Huaixi, and then began to make preparations to set up clever names in Huaixi and fabricate accusations against the old-school officials and squires of the old forces.

For him, being able to fight against the old faction and dig out money from the old power's wealthy people is more important than enforcing the law impartially.

Because he knew that Zhao Guan's family was short of money.

This is political correctness. In Zhou Yan's opinion, this is the most important thing. Any other fair treatment is just deceiving people.

When Zhou Yan heard that Yue Fei had put down the Haozhou rebels, he immediately became excited.

He had long planned to dig deeper into the Haozhou rebellion and make the matter bigger to cater to the wishes of his boss Qin Hui and the current Zhao Guan family.

The main force of the rebels in Huaixi was defeated in this way.

The news reached Tokyo probably on April 27th.

At this time, the feeling of summer is getting stronger and stronger, and the lotus leaves of the pond emerge from the water and spread out new green.

Zhao Ning was in the Imperial Garden, holding the latest note and looking at it intently.

In the first quarter of the fourth year of Jingkang, the imperial court had already spent 10 million yuan, including military expenditures and official salaries.

There is also money for disaster relief in Hebei and Hedong.

Last year, the imperial court announced that Hebei had allocated 8 million yuan in disaster relief funds, and Hedong had allocated 4 million yuan in disaster relief funds.

Up to now, disaster relief funds have been shipped to Hebei up to 5 million guan, and those to Hedong have been 2 million guan.

These are all huge expenses.

However, this year’s income has obviously increased compared to last year.

In addition to copying 5 million yuan in Huaixi, the establishment of the Bureau of Commerce and Society also had immediate effects.

Gyeonggi-ro's commercial tax revenue in the first quarter of this year reached 300,000 guan.

You must know that in the seventh year of Xuanhe, the commercial tax of the entire Song Dynasty was only 10 million yuan.

During the Jingkang period, Hebei, Hedong, and Jingdong were all affected by war, and business was greatly affected. Under such circumstances, the commercial tax revenue of Gyeonggi Road in the first quarter could reach 300,000 yuan, which shows the effect of the establishment of the Commercial Bureau.

Of course, the largest tax on salt has fallen sharply.

From 13 million guan in the 7th year of Xuanhe, it dropped to 8 million guan in the 3rd year of Jingkang.

The main reason was the war in Hedong, the large-scale entry of Qingbaiyan from Xixia, and the impact of the war, which caused the population to move south.

As of right now, all of last year's revenue, and all of this year's revenue, has been used up.

If Shaofujian's production capacity had not been increased and the scale of soap sales had not been increased, the finance would have definitely been in deficit.

At present, the price of soap has dropped to 100 yuan a piece, and Tokyo City produces 3,000 pieces every day, almost all of which can be sold out.

The daily revenue can reach 300 guan, which is more than 30,000 guan in three months.

The soap sales are best in Hangzhou, Chengdu, Jiangling, Jiangning and other southern areas.

According to Wang Zongliu's prediction, after the price of soap in these places is reduced, the total revenue in the first quarter can reach an astonishing figure of 200,000 yuan.

Not only that, the Shaofujian's expanded paper mill, oil refinery, and textile mill are being quickly built, as well as the latest toothbrushes and so on.

Industrial lines are taking shape rapidly. In the near future, once production capacity ramps up, its sales will be astonishing.

Of course, Zhao Ning doesn't have a penny left in his hands now.

5 million yuan was confiscated from the house.

But that is used as bank reserves and cannot be touched.

After Zhao Ning finished calculating some major categories of accounts, he said to Wang Zonglio: "I asked you to send people to Liangzhe and Futian to refine sea salt. Have you sent them?"

"I sent it. I told Mrs. Qian that she sent someone to start the process on Liangzhe Road two months ago."

"Oh, you arranged for her to go?"

"She sent someone there."

"How's the effect?"

"I haven't had time to ask yet, I'm probably still trying."

Zhao Ning nodded and said nothing more.

The refining of sea salt existed in ancient times, but it was not popularized.

It is found in Zhejiang and Fujian areas.

Once sea salt is developed into an industrial chain and sold in large quantities to the inland, the price of salt can be lowered and the dependence on Xixia salt can be eliminated.

Of course, this takes time.

"How about handing over banknotes and issuing them?"

"The number of people coming to save money is gradually increasing, and the number of people coming to exchange banknotes is also gradually increasing. Most of them are businessmen. Yesterday, 5,000 banknotes were exchanged."

Wang Zonglio smiled from ear to ear, and continued: "Officials, the interest rate on bank deposits has played a role. Many people have seen wealthy people deposit money in banks, and they have confidence in banks. As long as they continue to

After a period of time, if the interest and principal are returned to those large customers, the bank's reputation will definitely be improved."

At this time, Zhang Shuye hurried over.

"Officials, military reports came from Haozhou that Yue Fei has defeated the rebels and captured the rebel leader Wang Qing alive."

Yue Fei was very efficient in his work. He set out from Tokyo on the first day of April. At the end of April, the main force of the rebels was defeated.

"Where is Zhu Changgui?" Zhao Ning asked, "Didn't Cai Mao say that Zhu Changgui is also one of the leaders?"

"Zhu Changgui was not caught."

Zhao Ning thought for a while and said: "It seems that the Huaixi rebellion may be more serious than imagined."

Zhang Shuye became confused, what did he say? The thief had already been captured in the capital.

"How many people were involved in this rebellion?"

"Huaixi is still verifying the list."

Zhao Ning suddenly said: "Add more troops and add another 10,000 people to Huaixi."

Zhang Shuye was puzzled: "Guan family, why is this?"

"The centipede insects are dead but not stiff. They are traitors and are wandering among the people, endangering people's livelihood. They must be eradicated as soon as possible."

Zhang Shuye immediately realized that Zhao Guan's family might have other motives for increasing their troops.
