Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 643 Treasury Balance
Quickly leave the city and head straight for Shuibo.Go away with joy, return with disappointment.

It has been ten days since Emperor Lu returned to the Forbidden City, and every time he closed his eyes, he could clearly see the broken iron pipes that had been blasted open.

It may be twisted into a twist, or it may be cut in half directly, and some even have a trumpet...

Really hot eyes ah.

There is also the pig liver face of the leopard that is so embarrassing that it wants to get into the cracks in the ground, it is so helpless.What could he do then?It can only tell Tang Long to devote more energy to making guns in the future.Although he himself is a knife maker.

But Liangshanbo has become the current Great Qi Dynasty, so what if the money leopard Wu wants to upgrade one or two?What's more, whether it is a cold weapon or a hot weapon, the quality of steel is the first.It is closely related to him.

Maybe his brain was stimulated by the hot weapon, so maybe a bright spark could be splashed out.

Like the musket before, the single shot seems to be qualified.Otherwise, how could Tang Long call Lu Qian?But what about durability?
Not to mention that one hundred rounds cannot be sustained, and many of them cannot exceed thirty rounds, and none of them can reach five rounds in a row. The musket made of this kind of barrel is not practical at all.What's more, the cost is beyond Lu Qian's bottom line.

It is to go away in good spirits and return in defeat.

After returning to Yidu, Lu Qian's mood was unavoidably low, but fortunately, he received a good news right away.

"Your Majesty, Secretary of Security Zhu Gui has played." As early as when Lu Qian came out of Yidu, Handi Hulu had already caught some clues. These days, he followed the vines to catch big fish, and now he has controlled a lot. Zhu Gui thought that the information that the Imperial City Division had compiled in Yidu could be closed.

Lu Qian put down the memorial. He generally did not express much opinion on such professional matters. Zhu Gui made the decision himself, and he only wanted the results.

There has never been a curfew or martial law in Yidu City, but there has never been a sudden military attack in the middle of the night for a long time.

The nightlife in the city has never had anything to do with ordinary people. The places with flowers, willows and greenery are naturally brightly lit, but in the huge city of Yidu, most of them are ordinary people who have already fallen asleep early.At this moment, only the sound of the army rushing through the city at night was heard. Curious people looked out through the gaps in the doors and windows, and more ordinary people lifted tables and chairs to block the door firmly.

Yidu City has always been prosperous and peaceful.

During the daytime, in the streets and alleys, taverns and teahouses of the city, there were very few people picking quarrels and making troubles, and it was rare to see fights.Although there are many troops stationed here, they have no sense of existence in daily life.Not to mention rushing into the city in a big way suddenly.

This terrified countless people.

It's like in a community in later generations, if you are suddenly awakened by the sound of sirens outside in the middle of the night, and you open the window to see that there are armed policemen downstairs with live ammunition, you will be scared to pee at that moment.

This is a battle between the Security Department and the Imperial City Department. No matter how attractive it is, it is only a pair of attractive ears to arouse people's curiosity, but don't really involve yourself in it.How wronged to be arrested by the government for watching the excitement at this time.

"Beep……"

In the middle of the night in the north of the city, a sharp whistle sounded in Yanfufang. The soldiers of the brigade and the city tolerance held torches, guns, knives, bows and crossbows, and rushed towards an alley following the sharp whistle.

"Brother, let's go..." Two men dressed in short clothes carried the fat man Li San over the wall and fled.

Next door is an ordinary small courtyard. In fact, there is a tunnel in it, but it can be drilled for more than ten feet, and the opening is an uninhabited dwelling.It would be safer for Li San to escape from there than now.

"Brothers..." There was already the sound of fighting outside, and Li Sanqi was crying on the wall. He knew that his brothers were only at the level of hooligans, and a head-to-head confrontation with Lu Qi's officers and soldiers was as hard as an egg against a rock, and it couldn't be delayed for too long. , but he was reluctant to leave.The people in the yard are all his closest and dearest brothers.

He, Li San, was able to get from being a refugee to where he is today, all thanks to the help of his brothers.

"Brother, hurry up. You are alive, the death of the brothers is worth it..." The benefactor behind him only recognizes Li San, not them.

No one will remember these little shrimps. Even if the people in the yard die a hundred times, they are worthless.Only Li San, who is already the leader of the seventh-rank official of the Song Dynasty, is alive, and their family can have thoughts.

Otherwise, even if they escaped alive, they would not be able to contact the benefactor behind them.

"Quick, quick..." There was a shout outside the yard.A light arrow flew over and shot the rich-looking Li San off the wall.

The few men who resisted to the end were either killed or injured, and Li San was also tied up and pushed in while struggling hard.Several torches shone on him.

Zhu Fu walked up to him, looked at Li San who was still cursing and smiled disdainfully, "Show your face." The two soldiers who were escorting Li San grabbed Li San's ear with one hand, and pulled the piece of paper Faces stained with dust and blood were exposed in the light of the torches.A shrinking man was pushed to Zhu Fu's right hand at this time, "See clearly, he is Li San?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhu, he is Li San."

"Wang Che..." Li San looked at the person who identified him, his eyes almost popped out.Because this is a scholar, it is said that he is still a student of a high school, and he is the deputy of his immediate boss. In Li San's heart, this kind of person should be a diehard loyalist of the Song Dynasty.what...?
Li San's heart suddenly churned, like the waves of the sea when a storm hits, churning upside down.

"Bah. You greedy and fearful slut, even if Grandpa is a ghost, he won't let you go. Grandpa's brothers won't let you go either..."

He felt that his brother's death was pitiful, and this kind of person had a higher official position than him, so the Zhao official family really had no eyesight.Li San struggled vigorously, spraying bloody spit on Wang Che's face.

Zhu Fu waved his hand, the guy in front of him who was born as a rogue was not from Yidu.According to Wang Che's account, this person is a ruffian in Yingtian City, who was very dissatisfied with Lu Qian because his family suffered in the war.This person was helpless in Yingtian Mansion and had no one to eat, so he arrived in Qilu along with the fleeing refugees.First, he was assigned to Jinan, because he was dissatisfied with Lu Qiduo in his words, so he was taken in by the Imperial City Secretary during the expansion period and recruited as a spy.In the next few years, I have just come to today step by step.

"This is really ironic. Li San, a bastard who came from a local ruffian, has a bit of backbone. Wang Che, a scholar, should know what loyalty and filial piety are, and what is shame. ..." said a person beside Zhu Fu.

Calling Smiling Tiger with a sneer on his face, he said, "Don't think too hard about Li San. Whether this thief is really loyal to the puppet Song Dynasty, let's go through the torture room first and then talk about it."

Zhu Fu still didn't say a word, "Traitors among scholars are never rare." When he was working in the intelligence department earlier, he saw a lot of ugly faces of scholar-bureaucrats.At that time, Lu Qian's power was not yet established, and even if he was a scholar, let alone the time now.

At dawn the next day, Lu Qian received the good news from Zhu Gui. The manpower planted by the Imperial City Division in and around Yidu City had been captured overnight.

Many people were captured, with different identities, some rich and poor, and several officials who were dragged into the water.The latter will be severely punished.Lu Qian can also express 'understand'.When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, let alone people?

But when he saw the lives in it, he scolded them for being too stupid in his heart.I don't even look at what kind of bird Zhao Song is, and he secretly flirts with the Secretary of the Imperial City.

"Unable to withstand the temptation, weak will, wrong step, wrong step." Zhu Gui summed it up very well.He believes that these people are not willing to jump ship to a sinking ship in the first place.But people are like this sometimes, knowing that it is wrong, but still can't give up.

What kind of fruit hangs, such a weak-willed person will die if he dies.

Let go and ask Zhu Gui to follow the vines and try his best to reap the fruits.Lu Qian had already put an end to this matter in his heart.Although this was the first successful anti-espionage case he had experienced in so many years.

Zong Ze came to see Lu Qian with a memorial in his hand.

After several years of accumulation, especially in the last two years, Lu Qi's territory has expanded rapidly and he has earned a lot of extra income.The increase in foreign trade volume, as well as the gold and silver of Sado Island, are so profitable that even if the army is mobilized year after year, there are still many troops coming together, but they can still save a lot of money.

For the use of this money, the DPRK and China are arguing endlessly.Some should be kept and some should be spent.

Since ancient times, China has had a concept that the country is filled with countless grains, and the grains have turned black, and the ropes that run through the money in the treasury have rotted, and this is when the treasury is full, and this is called the golden age.Therefore, there are by no means few ministers who retain characters.

But Lu Qian's financial philosophy is slightly different.Spend as much money as you can.He is not afraid of borrowing, or he is already planning to issue national debt.And I am confident that it will be released on a large scale.

The eyes of ordinary people are discerning, and his reputation as Emperor Lu is not for nothing.

In addition, Qilu's current finances are very healthy, and the rules have already been formed in the past few years.Although there is not a small difference between the annual budget and actual expenditure, it can also be used as a rough reference.

Zong Ze is a person with a plan in his heart, that is, because he has a plan in his heart, he wants to use the money in the treasury.

There are quite a few people who are in favor of spending money. In their opinion, investing this money in building bridges and paving roads, investing in education and politics, and even investing in repairing the embankments of the Yellow River, dredging the Bian River and other old canals in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, That's all very meaningful.

However, Zongze's thinking is indeed different. In the past few years, he has always had a dream of 'Big Lan Xiang' in his heart.

If you want to set up technical schools in various places, it is so good to teach the people skills.Blacksmiths, coppersmiths, cobblers, stonemasons, carpenters, scalemakers, bamboo makers, rope makers, masons, garment makers, etc.As long as the people can learn a skill, it will be of great benefit to themselves.

Compared with the large-scale teaching, the inherent master-student inheritance in China is obviously too narrow.

Zong Ze supported the Ministry of Household Affairs and the State Administration of Taxation to jointly run schools two years ago. Now that the results have been revealed, it has given him even more motivation.

In this way, he operates like calling the Ministry of Industry.Instead of running a small school like the original Zhidu Division and Lijin Bureau, they only focused on their own small calculations.It is clear at a glance whether the number of talents cultivated by such a school is higher or lower than the result of the enlarged scale.

It's just that the latter costs a lot.

The School of Finance and Accounting established by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the State Administration of Taxation is no longer a single school, but a whole system.Isn't it true that after training people, they can all work as a public servant and eat public food?How can education be free?That's for a fee.Many branch schools are already self-financing.And the people have their own enthusiasm.

Stay in the branches of that branch school for a period of time, and further study on the existing basis. All the students who graduate can write and do calculations, and can work as accountants.

From Yidu to the provincial capitals of the provinces, from the provincial capitals to the state capitals, and even some prosperous counties have affiliated schools, which is a lot of money.It's not all treasury appropriations, and there are small treasury support from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the State Administration of Taxation.

But the effect, even if it was only a short period of two years, made Zongze see the huge advantages and disadvantages.If it continues year after year, it will bring many people who can write and count among the people.

As long as this kind of people are not completely unreasonable in human world, their life is not bad.

This is a proven reality, which makes Zongze pay more attention to the construction of the school under the Ministry of Industry.It also made him stare at the balance of the treasury.
