Chapter 1,384 Just slap the table

Zhao Xu is now very experienced, and there is nothing on his face: "Then let's wait a little longer."

Compared with Su Shi and Su You, of course Su You was more important. He was really afraid, but he was just afraid that such a controversy would arise in the DPRK, which would be detrimental to Su You, and he was afraid that Su You would have some ideas.

He turned to praise Cai Que: "The efficiency of the six departments has been greatly improved. The autumn crops, autumn taxes, water transportation, South China Sea transportation, and the court meeting at the beginning of the year make me very satisfied. At the beginning of the month, the Minister of Ningxia must pay close attention to the affairs of the three important people.

good."

Cai Que held up his hand and said, "Yes, I will supervise Cai Jing when I retire."

After a pause: "But there are some things in the memorial of the Duke of Shu that are not appropriate..."

"What things?"

"It's like this. Last year in Dafeng, the annual revenue of the imperial court exceeded 200 million guan for the first time, but the expenditure was also high. Because of the Western affairs, an extra 6 million guan was spent. Dividing the income and expenditure, there was an increase of 3 million.

It’s just straight.”

"When the government sets out its budget this year, immigration and stimulating people's livelihood will become the focus."

"Su Mingrun's suggestion is to implement it in areas where Ding tax does not account for the main local tax source, such as central Shu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and Bianjing."

"I have a question. The population in these three places is already very dense. If this happens, won't it become even more dense?"

"So I think that if we want to divide the land into acres, we should do it first in sparsely populated areas, such as Hebei, Fujian, and Shaanxi. Isn't it more appropriate?"

Now it was Zhao Xu's turn to show off. He had already discussed this issue with Su You, and the truth had already been explained clearly: "If you think about it simply, of course places with few people need stimulation, and places with many people need suppression.

.But if you think about it deeply, it’s not the case.”

"The first is the affordability of the local government. The Ding tax is not a big source of income in the three prosperous places in the Song Dynasty. After it is spread into the fields, it is not a burden to the local government."

"There is also the issue of normal tax collection. In the three places, after the Suyou administration, the new law was implemented best, the land register was clearest, and the spring and autumn taxes were paid best."

"Dividing a small amount into an acre, converting the small tax into a field tax, of course we have to start from the area where the field tax is the most stable. In other places, we can only collect it for two years in three years. I'm afraid the effect will not be very good."

"There is also the problem of the quality of the population. The three-way education is developed, the people are enlightened, and business is prosperous. It is common for people to go abroad for business, and they are not resistant to immigration."

"The Song Dynasty wanted to stimulate population growth, but it hoped to stimulate the growth of the part of the population that was reading and literate, the growth of the registered population, the growth of tax sources, the growth of the part of the population that could create value for the country, not the growth of the easy

The growth of that part of the population which becomes a burden to the imperial court.”

"Obviously, the three most developed economies in the Song Dynasty are the best."

"As for the problems Pu She mentioned, they exist, but they have to be solved in other ways."

"First of all, in the three places, immigration policy must be combined with governance, and only households below the fifth class will be relocated. This will be a huge blow to tax evasion."

"The problem of tax evasion in these three places is far greater than that of the rest. Once it is solved, the interests of the court will be much greater."

"There is also the issue of the food army. The three places are the most developed and have the most food army. Resolving this burden is the most beneficial to the court and the local area, and it is also the easiest to gain support."

"In the three places, there are the most lawsuits over land acres, and the contradiction between land and population is the most prominent. Allotment of acres to stimulate population, combined with immigration, can maximize resources alleviation."

"There are three other places with the largest population. Similarly, they will stimulate the greatest population growth. The Song Dynasty will get the most population growth in these places than if the same measures are implemented in other roads."

"The purpose of apportioning people into acres is to stimulate population growth and at the same time improve the quality of the population. This is our fundamental purpose. We cannot forget this fundamental purpose when implementing it."

"We will do it step by step. We will first implement it in the places where it is easiest to implement it. Once implemented, it will definitely cause some changes. For example, the population on various roads may find ways to flow to these three places."

"In fact, even if it is not implemented, won't the population flow to prosperous areas? However, the pressure from various roads will be greater. The local government, soon under the pressure of political performance, petitioned to implement it in three places."

"In this way, the master-slave relationship in the implementation of the law has changed. It is no longer the court forcing them to implement it, but they actively request to follow suit... Pu She, it is also good for you..."

There were many new words in Zhao Xu's words. No need to ask, Cai did know whose idea it was. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's sage, in just a few seconds, he can spread thousands of miles and illuminate the world. In many aspects, I have never thought of it so deeply.

, so detailed. I am frightened."

After being a teacher in front of Zaizhi for a time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: "Now that you know it, just do it well. I have high hopes for your beloved."

Cai Que said: "I am filled with gratitude. Also, in the memorial of the Duke of Shu, the eight surnames of the Xia Kingdom were used to select 80,000 elite soldiers. In addition to the current 15,000 new troops, Liu Changzuo's 30,000 cavalry will soon be organized into three

The 35,000 new troops on the road, a total of 150,000 strong troops, is it..."

Zhao Xu glanced at Cai Que: "Military affairs are not the responsibility of servants."

Cai Que quickly bowed: "Yes, what I want to ask is that in order to support these 150,000 troops, as well as the roads and water conservancy, the reclamation of acres, and the establishment of businesses and factories in the official documents of Shu, these ministers and provinces are not allowed to interfere.

, this power...is it too heavy..."

Zhao Xu smiled: "This Cai Jing came to petition yesterday, but it was not about power, but ability."

"He said that Ningxia's new uniform will make everything difficult. As long as the three parties don't ask the court for money, everything will be easy to discuss. He promises to take good care of this family for me;"

"But if he reaches out to the imperial court over there, he won't be able to do the work of Shangshu Province. Please demote yourself to Ningxia and let the Duke of Shu come back to take the blame. Hahahahaha..."

Cai Que could only laugh and said: "Yes, if Ningxia's three roads can be self-sufficient, it will indeed be a blessing for the country."

Zhao Xu said: "As for the power of affairs, please rest assured that Pu She will do it. Su You will go to visit Zhong'e. When he arrives at the camp, he will inform him that he no longer cares about the military and must do things according to the rules."

"The new army in Ningxia also has envoys as supervisors, and the Duke of Shu is only in charge of the logistics of the armies."

"As for major local affairs, all parties must be present in advance. After the discussion is completed, the signatures are recorded and filed, and Chao Buzhi is ordered to prepare a draft and deliver it."

At this point, he suddenly became indignant: "I think his problem is that he is lazy and too humble and delegates power! I heard that even the governor dared to bang the table and argue with him at the meeting. How unbecoming!"

Cai Que asked: "Then Zhizhou was not punished?"

Zhao Xu was both angry and funny: "I ordered Shangshu Sheng to issue an edict, but Su You rejected it, saying that in the meeting discipline, there is no rule that Zhizhou cannot slap the table on the transfer envoy of the capital."

"You even wrote to me in private, saying good things for that magistrate, saying that as long as he can correct his political mistakes, you can just slap him on the face, but slap the table to get him nowhere? Hahahaha, do you think he is annoying or not..."

…

Ningxia Road, Xingzhou.

Su You is quite relaxed.

Nowadays, there are a lot of talented people in Ningxia's Third Road, military, political and literature.

The dividends from mechanized large-scale production and the abundant currency circulation have allowed Ningxia Sanlu's economy to develop at a very high speed.

It is actually unscientific to say that large-scale mechanized production will rob the interests of handicraftsmen and ordinary people.

This situation is a phenomenon that only occurs in the early stages of a spontaneous free economy, and what Suzhou is doing now is more similar to an export-oriented industrial economy under macro-control.

Moreover, the main products do not overlap with the goods of the craftsmen, so there is no talk of expropriation.

For example, for grain, the standard for national grain reserves in feudal countries has always been considered to be three years of embarrassment, six years of guarantee, and ten years of worry-free.

Xixia was a country with four wars, so its military reserves needed to be sufficient. Even Liang Zuo knew that the purpose of building the food stall city was to reserve military supplies.

For example, the price of cotton cloth is still high, the output is scarce, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Cotton cloth is mainly imported from surrounding areas and the mainland of the Song Dynasty to fill the market gap.

Today's small people, silk donations are also the main part of the agricultural tax. If the cotton cloth is enough, it will not usurp the interests of the small people, but will reduce their burden.
