Looking back at Dengzhou City, Wang Xiaolien sighed secretly and urged the horse to move forward.

Wang Xiaoliu was really unsure of what to do in the future when Wang Ruohai was appointed as the governor. Although there were troops around him in his territory, and Wang Ruohai could not make any tricks, his daily work was enough to influence a lot.

In Wang Xiaoli's heart, he wanted to establish a new rule in these states according to his own ideas. But rationally, he knew that it was impossible. In the end, this place was still the territory of the Song Dynasty. How could he get rid of the imperial court? Even if he controls the army and the grassroots level, he still cannot get rid of the influence.

Many things in the world are so unsatisfactory. What can I do?

The weather was already getting hot in early May, with trees growing on the roadside, and a thriving scene. From time to time, pheasants and wild ducks flew around, and roe deer were eating grass on the grass, looking at the people walking over curiously.

Niu Gao went to Wang Xiaoli and said, "This time I went to Xinye, it was not like when I was in Dengzhou. I have been in control. My family is still in Ruzhou. I wonder if I can bring him to Xinye to live with me? I heard that many of the officers in Xinye have taken their families."

Wang Xiaolei said: "Come on. We will train troops in Xinye for many days in the future."

Niu Gao was overjoyed when he heard this. Among the generals, Niu Gao was the oldest, with a wife and a son, and a family. He was fighting outside for several months and he was inevitably missing his family. Of course, it was a great thing to be able to reunite with his family.

Seeing Niu Gao's appearance, Wang Xiaolie suddenly missed his sister a little. Next, unless there are other troops attacking, his main time will be spent in Xinye. The reunion of siblings and living together is much better than being alone like himself.

People in this troubled world are used to separation from life and death, but once they settle down, who doesn’t want the whole family to live happily?

Xinye also belongs to Dengzhou, but at this time, Wang Xiaoliu was separated and specially trained. There are no officials here, but they are directly managed by the army. It is a special place among several states. In Xinye City, the family members of the officers live.

Shao Ling and Yang Shen welcomed Wang Xiaoli and Niu Gao into the city. Looking at the streets on both sides, it became much more lively.

Go to the yamen to settle down. Wang Xiaoliu said: "It's May now. Many of the new recruits who arrived here at the beginning of the year should be assigned to each army. I wonder what their situation is? Also, there is a lack of officers in the army now, which is an important matter."

Shao Ling said: "The new recruits who can be skilled within three months have been assigned to various army units. Some of them who are slow to learn are still in the recruit camp. New recruits come every month, and now there are more than 5,000 people in the recruit camp. Last month, according to the command of the system, a school for officers was opened, but few new recruits were willing to take the exam. Many people think that the salary of officers is not generous and they are unwilling to do it."

Wang Xiaoli nodded. How much salary should an officer have per month still not settled for a while. It is certainly not the same as the Song Dynasty army in the past, but how to change it should be slowly explored. It is necessary to make the officers in the army feel at ease, and to attract outstanding talents in society, but it is not possible to cause too high salaries to cause burdens. Another thing is that compared with the salary of civil servants, it is difficult to make up for a while whether it is high or low.

There were not many officials in this era. The number of officials in the country was 20,000 to 30,000 at a small age, and 80,000 to 90,000 at a high age. It is actually unreasonable for officers to directly correspond to civil servants according to their ranks. Moreover, there are too many military officers in the Song Dynasty, and it is too difficult to get promoted. It is impossible to make a move without a war. All these must be considered. Without a good promotion mechanism, just like before the Song Dynasty, people with backgrounds and power were promoted in peacetime, and when they were fighting, it directly affected the combat effectiveness of the army.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaolei said: "How many new recruits can come out in the recruit camp every month?"

Shao Ling said: "There were more than 2,000 people last month. According to the current calculation, 3,000 people should be trained every month."

Wang Xiaolei said: "There are not many people in three thousand people. All of them can pass the qualifications, and there will be tens of thousands of troops a year. However, there are only so many people in the few states under their rule, so it is impossible for so many people to join the army all the time. At this time of next year, 30,000 to 40,000 people will be a big deal. If you go backwards, there will be fewer."

Niu Gao said: "The people in these states are incomparable to the north, and there are fewer people who are united in the army."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "There is no way to support the people in one place. We can only do it as much as possible and let all the soldiers come to the army. When we arrive, we must satisfy them. By the way, how are the families of the officers in Xinye City now?"

Yang Shen said: "The city of Xinye is still a bit deserted, not too convenient. There is nothing else."

Wang Xiaoli sighed: "It's still a shortage of money in the army! Until now, the salaries of officers cannot be paid, so their families have no money to spend. The most difficult thing now is lack of money!"

Yang Shen said: "I heard that last year, Chengdu Mansion Road was short of money, so the transfer judge Le Bowen added 600,000 yuan of money to attract money, which was convenient for both officials and the people. Now we are short of money. Can we learn from the Four Roads of Chuanxia and print some money to attract money to use?"

This is exactly what Wang Xiaolie wants to do. With memories of his past life, of course he knows the importance of banknotes. However, issuing banknotes is not a simple matter, and Wang Xiaolie cannot figure out many things. For example, how much is the right amount of banknotes? How to prevent the banknote from depreciating? What is the anchor of the banknote? There are many problems in it, and it is not enough to simply print it out.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaolei said, "Bank notes must be useful, first of all, they can be like money. I heard that the money rays on the fourth road of Chuanxia cannot be compared with copper coins. Moreover, it is inconvenient for them to use iron coins."

Yang Shen said: "It's not just Chuanxia 4th Road, but other places have also used Qian Yin."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "If you want to be like money, the most important thing is to be able to pay taxes and buy things. We exempt farmers from taxes, and money is useless to them. Now there are not many commercial taxes in various cities, so it is difficult to use money."

Yang Shen sighed: "However, now you are short of money and you can't do many things. If you have the capital, many businesses can be started and you can also purchase surplus grains for the people. If you can sell them to other places, you can make a lot of money."

Wang Xiaoli thought for a long time and said, "This matter cannot be underestimated, let me think about it again. Logically speaking, there is food among the people, but we don't have the money to buy it. It is indeed the time to print money and attract it. But we have not occupied several states for a long time, and we don't know what will happen in the future. Suddenly printing money and attracting food from the people is like robbing? Doing things, not only consider what should be done, but also think about what the people think."

It is too easy to print money. For the government, it is simply a business without capital. How many people can resist this temptation? But the more such a thing is, the more you should be vigilant. If you don’t do it well, you will overdraw the government’s credit, and it will be difficult to do it in the future.

In Wang Xiaoli's memory, it is best to have capital for paper money. If what I remember well, the capital that Huizong Dynasty tried should be one-quarter of the amount of money to ensure that it does not depreciate. Where can I have cash now?

Of course, according to the monetary theory of later generations, this may not be necessary. However, Wang Xiaolien has limited knowledge and knows only a little about monetary theory. How dare he start? He must think carefully and take it step by step.

Being able to print the banknotes well will play a significant role in your future development. Wang Xiaolie does not doubt this. It is precisely because of this that we must be more cautious.
