Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The conservatives have smiles on their faces, as if I'm here to find fault today, let's see how you doggy Wang Anshi believers end up!

"Okay, I will discuss this matter with the officials." Zhao Ding spoke at the right time.

After a series of "harmonious discussions" were conducted by the officials of the Eastern Mansion, the internal scolding in the court triggered by the New Deal continued.

Mei Zhili was about to go to Zhao Guan's house to cry, but as soon as he entered the gate of Wende Hall, before the tears burst out, Zhao Ning said, "Mei Qing, you came just in time."

"Officials! Minister..."

"I plan to ask the Ministry of Households to measure the fields. Haven't the prices of fields in various places dropped recently? The imperial court bought them all!"

Mei Zhili was going to reprimand Li Chunyou and the others in front of Zhao Guan's family, but when he heard Zhao Guan's words, he was immediately stunned.

Happiness comes so suddenly.

Zhao Ning: Yes!Happiness came suddenly, you thought I was just kidding with you, I was just waiting for the day when the price of the land would drop, the court would buy it at a low price, and then rent it out.

Chapter 212 The Financial Crisis of Song Dynasty ([-]rd update)

With 700 million mu of land, the average price per mu is 0.5 guan, and a total of only 350 million guan is needed.

Some ministers actually mentioned a more brutal method: confiscating them all.

That definitely won't work. If that happens, the chain reaction will immediately spread throughout Dasong 24th Road, and the good situation will inevitably be messed up.

Not long ago, Yang Bing and his group were killed and their homes were ransacked. Dozens of officials confiscated nearly 150 million guan.

In this riot, another 150 million guan was copied out, plus the copied fields.

With such a write-off, from the promulgation of the new policy to the current court buying all the land, in fact Zhao Ning didn't spend a penny.

Moreover, 400 million Shixia taxes were collected.

The empty-handed white wolf also solved the problem of land annexation on Gyeonggi Road.

And also take the opportunity to strengthen the Secretary of Agriculture and rectify the taxation of Gyeonggi Road.

Get more in one fell swoop.

On July [-], the officials of the Ministry of Households immediately left the capital, split up, and began to buy land in the counties and counties of Jingji Road.

In addition, the imperial government's decree has been issued. The officials of the prefectures and counties hurried to stabilize the disputes about the land in various places. The imperial court is ready to take action to stabilize the people's livelihood.

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

In order to stabilize the people's livelihood, Zhao Guan's family actually wanted to buy all the fields on Gyeonggi Road. How loving the people are!

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

On July [-]th, the burning clouds dyed half of the sky red.

Wang Zongyi, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came back.

Humming a ditty, Wang Zonglin walked into the palace and arrived at the Wende Hall with cheerful small steps.

After seeing Zhao Guan's house, a flower-like smile bloomed on Wang Zong's face: "Guan's house, I'm back from Jiangning."

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

"Official, good news!"

"What good news?"

"Jiang Ning's soap was sold for 2 yuan and earned 200 million yuan!" Wang Zongling laughed so hard that his jaw almost fell off.

"Officials, those in Jiangning, love soap more than Tokyo!"

Zhao Ning was also taken aback, and asked, "Where do so many rich people come from?"

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

Good guy, this old boy Wang Zonglian knows how to play channel dealer games!

It is true that in the Song Dynasty, there was a means of collecting business taxes called the rush-buy system, which was the business tax contract system.

In small places, set a specific amount of commercial tax, and then cooperate with contractors, regularly ask contractors to get money, and contractors will go down to collect commercial tax.

The Song Dynasty played all kinds of things in the commercial area, and it was reasonable for Wang Zonglian to think of channel dealers.

"By the way, officials, look, this is the latest name I gave to the soap, Qingyu Pavilion, as elegant as jade."

Wang Zonglin looked like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he had never seen him like this before. Since he was arranged to sell soap, it seemed that a door to a new world had opened.

"I have another proposal."

"The official ordered."

"I'll let you take care of the Taifu Temple, and you will be my Minister of Taifu Temple from now on, how about it?"

The Taifu Temple in the Song Dynasty was not an ordinary yamen, it was the core yamen of Wang Anshi's reform.

Now that the new policies have been fully disclosed, Zhao Ning is not afraid to start a new business policy.

Taifu Temple is mainly in charge of government orders on state finances, treasury cashiers, commercial taxes, leveling, trade and other matters.

He also led the Zuozang East and West Warehouse, Neizang Warehouse, Fengchen Warehouse, Zhihou Warehouse, Yuanfeng Warehouse, Bu Warehouse, Tea Warehouse, Miscellaneous Warehouse, Grain and Materials Institute, Audit Department, Dushang Taxation, Bianhe Shangshangsuo, Cai Upper and lower locks on the river, Duti Shiyi Division, Shiyi Upper Boundary, Shiyi Lower Boundary, Grocery Shopping, Grocery Market, Interchange Warehouse, Rescue Office, Healing Bureau, Huimin Bureau, Store House Affairs, Carbon Coal Field, Incense Pharmacy and other departments.

Wang Zonglian was slightly taken aback, and without waiting to speak, Zhao Guanjia continued: "The business tax and auditing are taken out of Taifu Temple. From now on, you can concentrate on running Taifu Temple and include your Qingyu Pavilion, how about it?"

"Officials, this...the minister is dull, the minister has little talent and learning, I am afraid that this minister of the Taifu Temple will not be able to take a big job!"

"Hey! Uncle, how can you belittle yourself so presumptuously, you are my crouching dragon! This matter must be yours! I am very optimistic about you!" Zhao Ning had a smile on his face that I was only for your own good.

"really?"

"Of course it's true, look at how well you sell soap!"

Mr. Wang touched his cheek and said, "Officials, why are you ministers?"

"You are my great wisdom. Looking at the court, who can sell soap for a hundred yuan and steal it? Who? Except you, Wang Zonglian, no one can do it!"

Wang Zonglin showed a smug smile.

Zhao Ning continued to flatter: "I not only want you to manage the Taifu Temple, but also give you the title of visiting professor at the Business School of the University of Tokyo, so that those scholars will listen to your lectures and look at you with admiration." Wang Taiwei, just tell me whether you can handle this matter or not?"

"I'll do it! Of course I'll do it!" Wang Zonglin immediately straightened his chest, "What about Gao Qi?"

"Gao Qiu?"

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

"Uncle, what happened to the soap in Jiangling Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, and Chengdu Mansion?"

"Official, Gao Qiu is not a good person..."

"Taifu Siqing! Come, come here."

"The official family..."

"come over!"

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

"Yes, there really are."

"What's the trouble?"

"Lack of money."

"Lack of money?"

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

"The folks are short of money?"

"It's the lack of money among the people, but it's not a lack of money. How would I describe this problem? In the market, there is a lack of money that can be traded. Many people even barter for things."

"Jiang Ning?"

"That's right, Jiang Ning, this is what Jiang Ning's businessman told me."

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

Zhao Ning thought for a while, and said, "How about using cash?"

"Pay money? Hand over child?"

"Yes, Jiaozi."

Wang Zonglin was shocked: "Official, that thing is..."

"What is it?"

"In the four years of Chongning, more than 200 million guan were issued. One hundred guan Jiaozi is only worth 25 guan coins. The common people no longer believe in Jiaozi."

Chongning is a year name of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. He said that Cai Jing minted a lot of money at that time, opened the money printing machine, and depreciated the Song Dynasty banknotes by a large margin.

Think about it, more than 3000 million coins were printed directly, how could it not depreciate?

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

Eagle sauce prints US dollars, and the whole world digests it, because the currency circulation in the 21st century is very fast.

If the currency circulation is slow, most of the dollars printed by the eagle sauce will accumulate in the country for a long time, causing inflation soon.

Therefore, although the Song Dynasty is the economic center of Asia, countries also like the currency of the Song Dynasty very much, but due to the different circumstances of the times, the same method cannot be used casually.

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

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

Moreover, the currency also involves the taxation of the new agricultural policy. These contradictions are what Zhao Ning is now facing and must be resolved as soon as possible.

Chapter 213 Great Song Bank (first update)

Wang Zonglin said: "Officials, I'm afraid I can't do the matter of Jiaozi."

"can not do?"

"cannot!"

"Why?"

"The minister said that the common people no longer believe in Jiaozi."

"Don't believe Jiaozi?"

"Do not believe!"

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it either!"

"Why don't you believe it?"

"One hundred guan jiaozi can be exchanged for 25 guan copper coins, and as long as the officials dare to give it away, it will continue to depreciate. This is plundering private money, and no one will want it at that time!"

Wang Zongyan said concisely: "You can't let everyone carry a bundle of jiaozi to buy a steamed bun?"

"What if I have a way to make the people have confidence in Jiaozi again?"

Wang Zonglin shook his head like a rattle: "Impossible!"

"What if I restore the denomination of Jiaozi?"

"That doesn't work either, it's not a matter of denomination."

"What if I fine-tune Jiaozi's production and printing?"

"The main reason for the depreciation of jiaozi is not the fake jiaozi. The workmanship of jiaozi is already very fine, and it is very difficult to counterfeit it. Therefore, it is useless for the government to fine-tune the production and printing of jiaozi."

"Then what if Jiaozi can freely exchange copper coins and iron coins?"

As soon as Zhao Guanjia said this, Wang Zonglian jumped up immediately, like a cat with fur.

"Ah! Officials..."

"how?"

"This, this, this... I'm afraid..."

Wang Zonglin knew what it meant to be able to freely exchange copper coins and iron coins after handing over banknotes.

In the past, when Cai Jing issued money Yin (Jiaozi), the value of the money was rapidly depreciated by the people. The main reason was that the circulation was large and could not be circulated for a while, and it was stipulated that it could not be freely exchanged into copper coins and iron coins.

Jiaozi is like a pool, if the water doesn't flow out, of course it will accumulate more and more water than the author.

In the end, Jiaozi's inflation rate was as high as 2000%, and the court simply refused to admit it.
