I became the son of Renzong

"Issues such as these, from daily necessities, to building materials, to mineral resources, and even the supply of raw materials, all need to be targeted. Only by investigating real and basic data can the court take targeted measures. "

"Whether it is the improvement of the craftsmanship in the workshop city or the adjustment of the structure by the imperial court, doing a basic investigation is the guarantee for the imperial court to formulate a strategy. Only in this way can the imperial court avoid making mistakes behind closed doors, and avoid making mistakes in decision-making. "

Zhao Xi was not proficient in economic theory, and he didn't leave any records in the martial arts hall in his early years. It was difficult for the ministers who had read his records to have a complete train of thought.

When addressing specific issues, he can still speak some truths. Although not satisfactory, it is enough for this era.

Chapter 876 Benefits

Although Zhao Xi can't form a theoretical system to teach, but after all, there is a general framework for rhetoric.

Moreover, Zhao Xi often puts forward this kind of framework rhetoric on many matters, and then entrusts the extension and development to the people of this era to implement.

Therefore, this time, at the request of Wang Anshi, it was supervised by the secretary and cleared up by the officials... Of course, it was only within the scope of the courtiers.

Therefore, Zhao Xi once again focused on copywriting after many years.

To put it bluntly, what Zhao Xi wanted to express was a question of scale and balance.In later generations, the understanding that scale can reduce costs is basically known to everyone, but in this era, it is still a hazy awareness.

The concentration of upstream and downstream industries is also an important way to reduce costs.

Regarding the current state of the country, Zhao Xi generally has an idea, and this is also a question that Zhao Xi has occasionally thought about for some time.

Take Hedong Road as an example, the coal industry should be the focus... This will be the case until a thousand years later.

For example, in Yanzhou, the mining of stone paint is a key industry; the northwest should focus on raw material industries such as grazing and cotton planting; the southeast should be shipbuilding and foreign trade; the southwest should be minerals and so on.

After improving the economic census, the imperial court can make targeted adjustments and guidance in terms of regional characteristics, established industrial scale, products, transportation convenience, and even employment in Dingkou.

This is not just a matter of hiring workers, but also of workshop owners.The industry is not farming and mulberry. Farming and mulberry depends on the sky, and there are many factors to consider for the profitability of the industry.

If the imperial court takes the lead and sets a precedent for industry guidance, it will naturally guide the local state capitals to follow, so that the industry of the Song Dynasty will enter a benign development period.

In fact, Guochao's industries are still far from a development bottleneck. In a sense, Guochao's various industries are still in a stage where demand exceeds supply.

However, the crafts of the workshop city have been sold without interruption except for large-scale sales in recent years.In other words, Guochao now has signs of a swarm of bees entering the industry.

It may be a good thing to no longer pay attention to farming, but it also indicates the problems that will arise.

Zhao Xi doesn't want chaos in the long future... He is a descendant, and the Song Dynasty has elites, but he may not be able to have a deep understanding of the economic structure in such a changing situation.

If the industry wants to maintain profits, it must be controlled according to demand.

However, there is one industry with high profits that Zhao Xi did not expect.He thought it would take a long time, but he didn't expect it to be like this now... That is the pirate industry.

Some things are not something that can be avoided if you want to avoid them. Things really have their own laws.

The court has just perfected the relevant regulations of the census, and has just rolled out the affairs of the economic census in the country. Another year has passed, and it is time for the sea merchants to return to the court and wait for the monsoon.

The team of the four princes would sometimes stop in Dengzhou to recuperate... they couldn't get rid of the firearms support of the imperial court, and they never forgot that it was the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

It was also at this time that the fourth prince entered Beijing.

"You want to expand the army?"

The first thing the fourth prince met with was to expand the army.Zhao Xi was a little uncertain. If it wasn't for the presence of the cabinet, he would have been really surprised if he suppressed his surprise.

I thought it would be difficult for him to feed 5000 people, but I didn’t expect that the purpose of his docking this time was to recruit people, and he also asked to expand the army... that is, he needed his father to approve the number of firearms in his team Increase.

"Back to Dad, the team really needs to expand the army, the boy intends to extend to the south, and even follow the Guochao maritime merchants..."

Ambition has really grown up.

"Officials, the maritime routes of the country are escorted by the navy. If the team of the fourth prince goes south, there may be overlaps..."

In the eyes of the courtiers, the team of the four princes is equivalent to a different kind of navy, or a different kind of maritime merchant. It can also be said to be the nature between the maritime merchant and the navy. It can also be said that maritime merchants, navy, and pirates can all be defined.

Developed to the present, the team of the fourth prince is no longer purely for suppressing pirates.In addition to dividends, the trophies paid were also exchanged with merchants from the dynasty, even with tribes such as Goryeo, Fusang, and Jurchen, and even with Beiliao.

"President Wang, Xiao Wang doesn't mean to meddle in naval affairs. Naval escorts make it difficult to leave the long-distance fleet. But according to Xiao Wang's knowledge from many pirates, it is not me who accounts for the majority of the total maritime trade on the sea. The sea merchants of the Song Dynasty are the sea merchants of Dashi."

"Pirates are almost everywhere in the sea, there are countless, and most of them are based on islands, and they have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years..."

"As long as the size of the team is large enough, it is possible to wipe out the pirates, and if possible, let only my Dasong's merchant ships sail the entire sea..."

What I said before is still a bit more ambitious, but the ambition behind it is a bit big... Although it is very tempting, it does make the cabinet ministers yearn for it.

They never know how big the ocean really is...

"Due to the nature of this team, the imperial court is currently unable to support it, and the supply of [-] soldiers is not a small number. They all need to be self-sufficient. Expand the team..."

What is going on with the team, the entire court knows.They are all for getting rich, not for maintaining world peace.

"Father, my son, the total property that this team has obtained over the years is probably worth 3000 million guan. In addition to the soldiers' share and contributions to the court, there is still about [-] million guan of property left. This is even if the country has long been abandoned old-fashioned copper coins..."

"How many?"

Zhao Xi was also a little surprised by the team's earnings, but he didn't overdo it.Wang Anshi asked directly.

"3000 sticks."

"Officials, to celebrate the calendar year, the country's annual tax revenue is only so much... this pirate..."

Wealth is popular.Wang Anshi was originally a prime minister who paid more attention to goods and goods, and he was indeed a little emotional when faced with such a profit for a team that had always been nondescript.

have to!It seems that the fourth prince is going to talk to the cabinet.

"Officials, before Guochao regained Yanyun, I suggested that this team should not be allowed to go south. Swimming in the East China Sea, and even said that at the time of war, whether it was transported by sea or used as a surprise soldier, I thought there would be some Effect."

Zhang Dun's position is uncertain, but his words are indeed high-sounding, and no one can refute them.

Although Zhao Xi didn't expect much from the navy's landing in Beiliao territory, with such a team, they could do many things.Originally, there were such considerations.

Chapter 877

Speaking of which, the biggest thing about Guochao now, and something that has been continuing to operate, is preparing to recover Yanyun.

This is really not a trivial matter, and it can be said that it will be a battle that will destroy the country.Guochao wants to use all the power of the country to attack Liao in the north, and the Northern Liao Dynasty must also use all the power of the country to resist.

Everyone knew that it would not be possible to limit the problem to the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

If we say that in the early years, recovering Yanyun was absolutely satisfying for Guochao, but now, as long as the work starts, Yanyun is no longer the goal... It is said that the market for the products of Guochao Yangfang is very large, and the profit is very large , Wool is subject to Beiliao, why not lead it by yourself?

Therefore, Guochao can now look at the desert. The endless grasslands and herds of cattle and sheep are very attractive to Guochao's ministers and workers.

In the face of the general trend and the great profit, the pirates know how to choose from this little profit.

Zhang Dun's words won the support of all the elders.
