What is the Song Dynasty most lacking?

Some people say that the Song Dynasty lacks the most land.

Some people say that the Song Dynasty lacks the most talent...

But everyone knows that what the Song Dynasty lacks the most is money.

Whether it is the Qingli New Deal or the current New Deal, the most direct driving force is the lack of money.

No money!

Spending is rising wildly every year, but income is growing slowly.

This Dasong is sick.

What you get is an incurable disease.

The name of this disease is: I will die of poverty!

It is said that the cause is three redundant!

The most concerned thing about the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty was money.

Why is Chen An being tolerated by many people?

One reason is that this guy can make money.

Not only can he make money by himself, but he can also make money with others, but in the end he can make money with a country.

Of course, the emperor should be more tolerant of such subjects.

So break the leg.

As the Sansi Envoy, Han Jiang would argue with others for thousands of guan. If he had tens of thousands of guan, he would dare to fight with others... If he had a million guan, he would swear that he would dare to slander the official family and not let Bao Zheng be more beautiful than before.

So after hearing more than two million, he burped and Ouyang Xiu next to him grabbed him, "What's wrong? Stand firmly and stand firmly."

Han Jiang felt dizzy.

And the others are not much better.

"More than two million yuan?" Han Qi's eyes shone fiercely, "If there is a fake, I will peel you off with my own hands!"

Zeng Gongliang touched the porcelain bottle in his cuff and felt that the taste of stewed radish with beef could not keep up with the excitement he is now. "Where did you get so much money?"

Zhao Shu was also very excited, but then he said suspiciously: "Jiazhi was poor, where did he get more than two million yuan of property?"

He felt that the navy had changed.

These soldiers have become cunning and have learned to fool them.

"Your Majesty, man."

Qin Zhen said seriously: "I have defeated many enemy troops this time and captured many prisoners... they are all strong men..."

Well!

Zhao Shu felt that he was afraid he had heard it awkwardly.

"Prisoned? More than two million qian?"

"Yes!" Qin Zhen pulled his finger and started counting, "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty built roads and bridges, cleared rivers and canals... All things are done by the Xiang Army, but the number of Xiang Army is now getting smaller and smaller."

After the abolition of the disaster victims and the incorporation into the Xiang army's ancestral system, the number of the Xiang army has been decreasing.

The large-scale projects in the Song Dynasty were basically done by the Xiang army, and the reduction in the number of people will naturally lead to insufficient engineering staff.

So recruiting migrant workers became the only option.

"The civil servants don't have much money for two stale a month, right?"

Han Jiang knew, "There are not many."

"I have captured more than 18,000 prisoners this time. If we calculate according to the civilians, one person will have two jin per month and twenty-four jin per year. Even if a prisoner can only be held for five years, it will have one hundred and twenty jin per month."

"One person is worth 120 stakes, ten people are worth 220 stakes... 10 stakes are 120 stakes, plus 80,000 stakes, 960,000 stakes, totaling 216 stakes..."

Qin Zhen's voice echoed in the hall, and the king and his ministers were staring at him blankly.

The Song Dynasty had not captured the enemy troops before, but the number of people was not that large.

The Jiaozhi prisoners captured last time worked and built roads on Guangnan West Road. The emperor and his ministers in the capital thought it was a good thing, so they didn't bother with the calculations.

But now that Qin Zhen calculated it in detail, they were shocked to find that the water army had made a fortune during this trip.

And prisoners of war are actually very valuable!

Ten thousand prisoners of war, one prisoner of war is worth 120 stalemates. Is it expensive?

Not expensive!

These prisoners of war only need to give food and clothing and do it.

This is free labor.

But this labor was obtained by the navy. Who dares to say that it is not the spoil of the navy?

Han Jiang only felt a little weak in her legs.

Can it still be calculated like this?

He felt that he was afraid he had lived for a long time.

"This...this is worth discussing..."

He was very excited, but he was also cunning and wanted to calculate less.

The more money and food you have in the Sansi, the better!

This Song Dynasty costs money everywhere, and it is only a little bit to save.

Qin Zhen looked at him, reached out and touched him, and took out a memorial.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial of all the officials of Guangnan West Road."

"Give it."

Zhao Shu took the memorial, looked carefully, then looked up and smiled bitterly: "The officials of Guangnan West Road spoke in unison, saying that within five years, the court could allocate less money every year, but the food required a lot of money..."

"This is greed!"

Han Jiang reacted instantly, and his face turned red with anger, "They must beg His Majesty to leave the prisoners on Guangnan West Road, and then build roads everywhere, money...what is the money? What is needed? The food is for the prisoners."

"After they have enough food, they can build roads and bridges everywhere. What did Chen An say last time?"

He was a little confused.

Bao Zheng said: "If you want to be rich, build roads first, raise pigs with more food..."

"Yes, that's it." Han Jiang said gritting his teeth: "The last time the captives were mostly there. According to the officials who came back, the roads on Guangnan West Road are now open and can be regarded as the number one in the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty, the number one in the Song Dynasty!"

Han Qi couldn't help it, "The best in the Song Dynasty? Is it so good? Your Majesty, those prisoners should not be left on Guangnan West Road. I think they should be brought back to Bianliang, Bianliang... I once said, what should I start construction in Bianliang?"

Zeng Gongliang went out to work and carefully explained what projects in Bianliang require a lot of people. In a word, those prisoners stayed on Guangnan West Road would be wasted.

Even Bao Zheng was out of duty and said, "Your Majesty, there were enough prisoners left by Guangnan West Road last time. I thought I could not stay anymore, otherwise...what would I do if I built so many roads?"

yes!

Guangnan West Road was once considered a semi-barbaric state, but now it has developed, but it is 100,000 miles away from the Central Plains. What should I do if I build so many roads?

Even the good old man Ouyang Xiu came out and said, "Your Majesty, you must be careful with so many roads!"

Qin Zhen felt that he had seen a play next to him.

A big show.

Is there any need to be prepared for Guangnan West Road?

There are certainly some, but compared with the various parts of the Central Plains, they are far behind them.

So Ouyang Xiu said this with shamelessness, and his purpose was very simple, to bring all the prisoners back.

Zhao Shu was moved and said, "The navy army is brave, I feel no comfort."

This is the opening remark.

"There are many prisoners of war, but the Song Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness... God has the virtue of being alive and should not kill him. There are many miasma on the west road of Guangnan. Please bring them back..."

Chen Zhongheng was rolling his eyes.

There is a malaria on Guangnan West Road...

Your Majesty, Jiaozhi has more miasma and more powerful.

Even the officials are shameless, which shows the desire for money in the court now.

Han Jiang agreed loudly, and then couldn't wait to leave, ready to urge him.

"etc."

Bao Zheng stopped him and asked, "The navy warships..."

"Give money back!"
