[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Looking at Jia Yan's appearance, the emperor was convinced once again that Jia Yan was in perfect harmony with him in major matters.

The emperor said: "Why doesn't the empress ask, have these fleets brought back food?"

Jia Yan said: "It's needless to say? Although there is a lot of grain overseas, but you look at this fleet, it has been more than a year before I heard the news. The sea is wet, so how much grain can be transported back in the end, I have the bottom of my heart." There is really no bottom line. However, copper coins are equally important to the people's livelihood. With copper coins, the imperial court can buy food and stabilize prices. It's just a lot of work. If it is in ordinary people's homes, it will take more work and manpower. Of course it’s not a good thing. But it’s not a bad thing to spend more manpower on some matters above the court. There are so many Jinshi waiting to fill the vacancies. Long live, I said, right?”

It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, and since the founding of the country, the imperial examinations held every three years, together with the Enke held from time to time, and the Ming Suan Ke Ming Jing Ke held every year, there are countless officials all over the country waiting to fill vacancies Know how many.

Just as Jia Yan said, it is also necessary for the emperor to create jobs for these officials who are waiting for vacancies.Even if there are not many positions, it is still a thought for these officials who are waiting for vacancies.

It is also very important to stabilize the court to release some positions from time to time.

The emperor laughed and said: "It really is the queen! I thought of going with you."

It was not that there was no food in the Jin Dynasty. In fact, because of the vast land and abundant resources, coupled with the large-scale promotion of sweet potatoes in the past two years, especially the sweet potatoes planted by Jia She, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in Yuzhou, Shangqiu, Qilu and other places, it was tens of millions of catties !

The emperor sent many spies to strictly monitor, and those spies reported to the emperor that there were too many sweet potatoes in the hands of Jia She, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and if they were not used to make wine, they could only be left to rot the point.

The emperor had no choice.

The emperor said that under the background of different degrees of hidden fields and households in various places, Jia She, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others were able to pay all the land taxes, which is already commendable.

Even the emperor himself knew that because of Jia She, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others, the taxes in Yuzhou, Shangqiu, Qilu, and Gyeonggi have increased by [-]% in recent years!In some places, it has risen by a full [-]%!

What a concept!

The Emperor knows better than anyone.

Of course, the emperor also admitted that the Zhuangzi workshops under Jia Shelin Daiyu and Xue Baochai had hidden households to varying degrees, that is, the situation that the poll tax was not paid in full.However, the emperor himself knew that there was no other way.

In fact, in this era, high-ranking families kept a large number of slaves, and these slaves actually did not pay poll tax.

Common people sold themselves as slaves to wealthy families to avoid poll tax, as early as the Han Dynasty.Up to now, it is very rare for a high-ranking family to pay the poll tax of the adult male servants who are over 20 years old.Even the head tax of maids and servants is paid, which is not found in the whole country!

This is the taxation reality of the Great Jin Dynasty!

It's just that the things involved in taxation are too deep and too wide, even the emperor dare not toss about. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Some people say that for a feudal king, using dredging to control the Yellow River is a cruel situation of "not moving, his descendants are still emperors, and he himself is not an emperor if he moves", but the fact is that the implementation of taxes is also A bomb no more dangerous than dredging the Yellow River.

As long as you are an emperor who aspires to be a wise king, you must face this problem.

In fact, behind the disappearance of every dynasty, there are shadows of hidden fields and hidden households and taxes being swallowed up by high-ranking and powerful households.

When there is no way to change this state, open source and balance the court situation are already the only thing every king can do.

Although Jia Yan didn't say it clearly, the emperor knew that this was the best Jia Yan could say.And, she's doing it too.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor became even happier. He laughed and said, "Queen, you are indeed my confidant. Yes, the Ministry of Industry has already started work, and we are just waiting for the new copper coins to be put into the warehouse."

When almost every emperor came to the throne, he would cast copper coins. This is also a way to announce the new emperor's enthronement to his subjects in disguise, and it is also an important ceremony.However, 12 years ago, when the emperor first came to the throne, he failed to mint many copper coins, and many remote areas did not even see his Xinyuan Tongbao.

The reasons are obvious, one is that the national treasury is empty, and the other is the lack of domestic copper resources.Even if he had changed the fineness of Xinyuan Tongbao from [-]% copper to [-]% it would not solve the problem.Back then, Xinyuan Tongbao was only issued in the Gyeonggi area.

Now, large-scale copper deposits overseas have been confirmed. In the future, malachite will continue to enter the Central Plains by sea and enter the treasury. Copper coins will also be minted continuously, and prices will be further stabilized.

Jia Yan said: "Long live, has the Ministry of Household Affairs calculated it? When will the copper-silver ratio be restored to [-]?"

The copper-silver ratio is actually the official exchange price between silver and copper coins.In the earliest days, the ratio was one tael of silver to one thousand copper coins.However, because of the prosperous business and trade in the Central Plains and the lack of copper resources in the Central Plains, the number of copper coins has become increasingly scarce.Therefore, the current copper-silver ratio is 860. Although it is not as good as the [-] in the Song Dynasty, it also reflects the lack of copper resources and the prosperity of business in the Jin Dynasty.

The emperor said: "Why does the empress ask that?" @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Jia Yan said: "Isn't this natural? The change of copper-silver ratio should be a relatively slow process. If it is too extreme, I worry that it will hurt the people."

The emperor said: "Don't worry, empress, I know about this matter. Anyway, we only have so many ships in our hands. It will take a long time to affect the copper-silver ratio."

That's right, although Jia Yan took out his own dowry, 1000 million taels of silver, perhaps for any family, this is a very big number, for example, the Lin family, a century-old family, Lin Ruhai was still alive Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi was re-elected for five or six years, and the money he left to Lin Daiyu in the end was only three or two million taels of silver. 200 million taels of silver, under normal circumstances, at least four families like the Jialin family need to accumulate hundreds of years to save it.

But at the level of the country, 1000 million taels of silver can't even stir up a few splashes.

Because this country is really too big.

Princess Boling, who has been sitting in her father's arms, is probably because she couldn't understand what her parents said, so she twisted her body in disbelief, trying to attract her parents' attention.

The emperor immediately lowered his head: "Father's seven catties, what's the matter?"

Jia Yan pretended to be angry and said, "Long live, don't you understand? This little girl is annoyed when she sees that we ignore her. You should give her some trouble!"

Princess Boling froze, and immediately slipped into the emperor's embrace.

The emperor laughed, couldn't help digging out his daughter, and said, "Ah, seven catties, is this true?" @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

Princess Boling hesitated for a while, then suddenly turned her head and said, "The empress is bad!"

The emperor immediately patted his daughter on the back lightly: "Qijin, how can you say that about your mother?"

I saw that Princess Boling's eyes turned red immediately, and she looked more and more like a goldfish.

"Qijin wants a younger sister, Qijin wants a younger brother! Wow~"

Qijin burst into tears, the emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but hugged his daughter tightly:

"Okay, okay, father took Qijin to see his sister, Qijin won't cry, okay?"

After a lot of effort, Princess Boling stopped crying, and the emperor stood up with her daughter in his arms: "Queen, I'm going to Qinhui Palace. Xiao Qi will ask the queen."

"What's your Majesty talking about? Xiaoqi is naturally relieved, but Qijin, this girl has been spoiled by my concubine, please discipline her more."

"It's still early! How old is she? I know it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After two more gossips, the emperor left with Princess Boling in his arms.As soon as the father and daughter left, Jia Yan put away his smile, and a touch of worry appeared on his face.

Seeing this, He Shanggong said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you are the empress of the main palace, and whoever is short in the palace will not short you."

Jia Yan shook his head and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future? I only hope that I can stay healthy and protect these children for one more day."

Not just Bo Ling, but the other three.
