Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh ticket number profit country
After leaving the royal ticket office, Chao Yong went to the palace.
When the palace guards saw the prince entering the palace, they all looked pious, as if they were not the prince but gods. Without him, the prince only needed one day to repel the Liao soldiers.
When the Liao Kingdom was established two hundred years ago, it was like a huge mountain pressing down on the Central Plains, and it would plunder from time to time. After Song Taizong succeeded to the throne, he took advantage of the presence of all the famous founding generals to attack the Liao Dynasty twice, and both ended in major defeats.
Returned to the hands of Song Zhenzong, the son of Song Taizong, and signed the Chanyuan Agreement, exchanging Sui coins for the Liao Kingdom not to invade the south on a large scale. As for the life and death of the people on the border, it was really not worth mentioning to the huge Song Dynasty.
In fact, the Song Dynasty was the victor in the Battle of Chanyuan, but Song Zhenzong ignored the opposition of the Prime Minister Kou Zhun and decided to "reward" the Liao Kingdom with annual coins in exchange for peace between the two countries. Probably Song Zhenzong felt that he was inferior to his father, and his subordinates
None of the military generals could compare to the famous founding generals, and his father even lost. If he continued to fight, the result would probably be worse than his father's, so he spent money to buy peace.
After Song Zhenzong, the emperors of each generation became weaker and weaker. Although there was the Chanyuan Alliance, the two countries generally maintained peace, but small conflicts continued. The results of the Song army experienced successively more victories and fewer defeats.
The losses were half and half, the victory was less and the loss was more, and in the end they were defeated without fighting. Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers declined, what was more important was the cowardice of the Song Dynasty emperor.
This time the prince went on an expedition, and everyone in the world saw the determination of Daliang to fight against foreign aggression, but most people didn't have much confidence in the prince's victory over the Liao Kingdom. After all, the prince only had 50,000 troops under his command. Only Liangshan veterans felt that the prince was descended from the stars and was invincible.
The final result was just as the Liangshan veterans expected, once again proving the prince's invincibility and winning them a lot of money.
When Chao Yong arrived outside the Chui Gong Hall, he asked that the morning court had not ended yet, so he gave the guards a few words and then went to the harem.
When Chao Yong arrived at the Funing Hall, he saw that He was working as a nv.
The harem originally had two main halls, the Funing Hall and the Kunning Hall. One was the emperor's bedroom, and the other was the queen's bedroom. However, Chao Gai did not accept any more concubines, and He felt that the two halls consumed too much material.
All in all, Kunning Hall was left idle.
Chao Gai used to spend money like water, but after he became emperor, he had to consider the long-term development of water. In order to win the support of the people, he exempted agricultural taxes and corvee taxes, leaving only commercial taxes. However, the expenditure of the court did not decrease, but continued to increase.
As the territory continued to expand and expand, the money in the treasury was flowing out, and there was no room for Chao Gai to be careless.
Daliang was not short of money and food consumed by the war. Although there were famines in the previous two years, Cai Jing and other traitorous ministers did not collect less food. Every granary in the Song Dynasty was full. Although the treasury left by the Song Dynasty was empty, it was copied
After Cai Jing and other traitorous officials came to their homes, the treasury was filled to the brim.
There was no shortage of money and food, but there was some shortage of weapons and armor consumed in the war. There were many craftsmen who made armor in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the commander of the imperial army was Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu demolished the military camps and built them into mansions. Needless to say, the armor was produced every year by the court.
All the money was allocated to make soldiers and armors, but all the money went into Gao Qiu's pocket. Without money, soldiers and armors would naturally not be made. Of course, there was no need to do it, because no one dared to check Gao Qiu's accounts.
It was not until later that the imperial court decided on the strategy of uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and Gao Qiu wanted to take some credit from it, so he leaked some money from his fingers and got a batch of armor and weapons.
Otherwise, Daliang would probably capture Tokyo and not be able to raise troops because there was no armor to use. The original Forbidden Army armor? Most of the original Forbidden Army went to work as craftsmen for Gao Qiu, or made their own livelihoods, and paid for Gao Qiu's replacement training.
.There were not many Imperial Guards participating in the drill, and naturally there were not many soldiers and armor.
To unite the Jin Dynasty and destroy the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty originally planned to send 150,000 to 200,000 troops. It would be good to have armor to support these many soldiers and horses. However, Daliang did not get these armors and weapons because the Liangshan Uprising and Fangla Uprising were both unexpected.
Yes, all the weapons used by Lianjin to destroy Liao were allocated to these two groups of soldiers and horses. Fortunately, the soldiers and armor of the group that attacked Daliang basically fell into the hands of Daliang, and because there was no continuous fierce battle, the consumption was not large.
But when Daliang wanted to expand his army and expand his territory, the original weapons and armor were insufficient.
Therefore, after Daliang captured Tokyo and took stock of the wealth left by the Song Dynasty, he asked the Craftsmanship Institute to step up the production of weapons and armor. Fortunately, the Craftsmanship Institute streamlined production and the output was very high, but the money was also spent like water.
When Mrs. He saw her son arriving, she put down the nühong in her hand and said, "Have a rest?"
After the founding of Daliang, Mr. He became more loving to his son and no longer controlled him. Because since the founding of Daliang, Chao Yong has been running around and fighting, with only a few days of rest. The child is a piece of flesh that fell from his mother's body.
He saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Well, the child is young and strong, and he will recover after a day of rest."
In fact, it took Chao Yong half a day to recover, and the other half he devoted himself to the sexy battle, but that was just to relax his tense nerves. But he was too embarrassed to tell his mother about this.
He said: "Are Sanniang and Feng'er okay?"
Mrs. He already knew that Chao Yong had many concubines and was happy that the Chao family was about to blossom. However, she was not interested in knowing the names of those women. Although she was also a woman, in her opinion, most women
It's just a tool to continue the incense. Maybe she will know the name of the person who gave birth to Chao's grandson, otherwise she will probably only know Hu Sanniang.
In the past, she didn't like Hu Sanniang, who only knew how to dance with guns and sticks, but after getting married, Hu Sanniang was gentle and virtuous, and she liked him very much. In He's opinion, the current Hu Sanniang was gentle and virtuous, and had been on the battlefield, so she could definitely control the prince.
The other concubines of the emperor kept the prince in good order so that the prince did not have to worry about the affairs of the harem.
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Well, everything is fine. Mom, when you have free time, go to the Prince* for a walk. Don't be bored here and be a female celebrity. There is no money in the internal treasury. I will send someone to send 10,000 yuan later."
He smiled and said: "Both father and mother know that your royal bank account has made money. Your father and I don't need much money, and we still have tens of thousands of dollars in the internal treasury. Your father said that officials in the DPRK and China criticized your bank account.
It’s not bad. It’s said to collect money that people don’t use and lend it to businessmen.
, it can make the business of merchants bigger, the court can also receive more taxes, the people can also earn some interest, and you have also made money. It can be said that everyone involved has benefited. Even if you don't go
The imperial court was involved in political affairs, but he did a lot of things for the imperial court."
Chao Yong naturally knew the benefits of the ticket number, but his original idea was just to make some money for the expenses of the prince*. Unexpectedly, the ministers with "sighted eyes" saw it, and he could no longer deny it.
In fact, many people in the Northern Song Dynasty have begun to study currency circulation. Shen Kuo, the author of "Mengxi Bi Tan", once said: "Money is easy to borrow. In a town with ten houses, if one person has one hundred thousand yuan and gathers in one family, even if he is a hundred years old, ten If you move them for trade, you will make a profit of one hundred thousand. If you spread it over ten houses, you will gain hundreds of knives. If you keep moving, you will not be able to make money."
In other words, money hidden at home will never increase, but it can generate profits when it enters circulation. This understanding is hundreds of years earlier than the emergence of the same concept in the West.
However, Shen Kuo only pointed out this problem and did not find a good solution. Rich merchants and big businessmen can use their money to do business and generate more profits, but for ordinary people, a few dollars or even a few hundred pennies It is not enough to do business, and they have other means of making a living, so it is impossible for them to change careers just for such a small amount of money. So Shen Kuo is also referring to people who have a lot of wealth, and tells them not to hide their money.
The emergence of the royal ticket number really allowed the people to take out their spare money and put it into circulation. It was not that Shen Kuo did not expect this, but it was bound by the limitations of the times and morality. If Shen Kuo had seen Chao Yong's approach, maybe They would also sneer at it. Obtaining people's money at low interest rates and then lending it to businessmen at high interest rates would undoubtedly suck the blood of the people in the eyes of people with "noble" morals.
If the ticket number was not opened by the prince, and the prince carved many people on stone tablets, making them infamy for thousands of years, I am afraid that the ticket number's behavior would be sprayed to pieces by people with high morals. Of course, this kind of moral people will not eat the fireworks of the world. There must be a very small number of people. What most people value is whether they can benefit from it. As for someone making money from it, they can accept it. After all, no businessman does it just to make money. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature and novel updates.
