"Haha, the lower officials have a plan, which can not only make the merchants sincerely serve the country, but also make the emperor look shining. I wonder if the prince and you are willing to hear it?" Jia Sidao bowed to Zhao Shimi and said with a smile.
If by this time he hadn't seen what Zhao Shimi invited him to the banquet today, he could really get rid of a piece of tofu and kill him.
There is no good banquet, so it is indeed not a lie. Zhao Shimi treated and showed kindness with such courtesy and show kindness, and even went out of the house to greet him personally with the honor of the prince. It seemed that he was wiping the butts for Wen Lianggong and others.
I am a lobbyist for the grain that I can’t sell if I see it is going to be sold for millions of stones!
Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo and others had a lot of food in their hands. The court did need it too. However, when Meng Gong had captured Xiangyang and seized more than one million stones of grain and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Jinghu War Zone could be self-sufficient, to be honest, the court's demand for food was not as urgent as before.
The most important thing is that Jia Sidao has successively repatriated nearly 800,000 people to return to his hometown. In addition to the Ministry of Revenue ordering local warehouses to open warehouses and provide appropriate supplies, the General Administration of Maritime Manufacturing has also started preparing before. In the final analysis, it is just a sentence, that is, try to delay the time. At most, it is to delay the time. At most two or three months, hundreds of thousands of acres of grain planted will enter the maturity stage, and there are more than a thousand acres of sweet potatoes.
It is not a secret that the time when the cultivated farmland grain matured, Jia Sidao knew, Zhao Shimi, Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo and others also knew it. This is why Wen Lianggong and others who were originally sitting in Diaoyutai were so anxious. No one expected that Zheng Mingxuan would give all the grain he brewed with the imperial wine to Jia Sidao for disaster relief. They also did not expect that Jia Sidao was completely different from the previous disaster relief officials. He did not play according to common sense and squeezed out hundreds of thousands of strong labor in disguise, and added hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land to the Song Dynasty for free for Lin'an Prefecture, and they also caught up with the last spring plowing.
Of course, the grain used for seeds was provided by Wenshannan. But then again, even if there was no 300,000 shi of grain in Wenshannan, Jia Sidao would find a way to get the grain. After all, there were many wealthy families in Lin'an City. Which mansion did not store a hundred thousand shi of grain in other courtyards? It was just that the process might not be so smooth and convenient.
These changes that Wen Lianggong and others did not expect finally made them unable to sit still. At this time, news came that Jia Sidao was preparing to take action with them, the grain merchants who hoarded grain and deliberately raised the price of grain, which naturally made Wen Lianggong and others panic.
Although they were supported by the ministers in the court and had never stopped their worship on weekdays, if Jia Guojiu, who was in the prime of his life in the Song Dynasty, was really determined to deal with them, it can be expected that the officials who took their worship would definitely not fight to the death with Jia Sidao for these merchants.
This is the sorrow of the little people. Wen Lianggong and others are very clear about it. You may also rely on those people in small matters, but once you encounter an existence that makes them feel difficult, those people will not be able to bring their future for the little people like them. Therefore, when Zhao Shimi extends an olive branch, Wen Lianggong and others will immediately lean on it.
What is silver after all, isn’t it? If a person dies, what’s the use of having more silver?
At this moment, when hearing Jia Sidao's words, the crowd was stunned at first, and then their faces were different. Everyone present knew that if it weren't for Yu Tianxi, Jia Sidao and others' tough opposition, the Ministry of Revenue would have sent tens of millions of yuan to buy the food in the hands of Wen Lianggong and others.
At this time, Jia Sidao actually said that there was another strategy, and the tone was a best of both worlds. Could it be that Jia Sidao wanted to change his attitude? Or was he forced to change his attitude under the pressure of King Sixiu?
When Zheng Xingzhi heard Jia Sidao's words, his wrinkled face showed a complex look that looked both disappointed and relieved. Yuan Fu, who had been observing his face carefully, was a little confused.
"Oh? What good advice does Shi Xian have? Tell me quickly and listen to me."
Zhao Shimi glanced at Wen Lianggong, Qian Hengduo and others, and his eyes narrowed slightly again, looking at Jia Sidaodao, with a little relaxed in his words. It is said that Jia Shixian is extremely conceited in his bones, but now it seems that it is not as difficult to meet as the rumors, and he is still very sensible.
"Yes, Prince." Jia Sidao bowed slightly to Zhao Shimi, stood up and nodded lightly at Zheng Xingzhi, then glanced around and said softly: "The emperor issued an edict to establish a new Maritime General Office to replace the previous Maritime General Office. I believe the prince and all the adults also know. Shi Xian was favored by the emperor and raised the Maritime General Office. The Maritime General Office will be responsible for the inspection and tax collection of merchants and merchants from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty. With the prosperity of our Song Dynasty, merchants from all countries will make profits from our Song Dynasty commercial roads. There will inevitably be a large number of silver items in the Maritime General Office.
According to Shi Xian checking the account books of the Maritime Warehouse, the tax silver shipped to the court to the Ministry of Revenue each year was about 8 million taels of silver. After the Maritime Warehouse General Office replaced the Maritime Warehouse, the tax silver shipped to the court in the first year was about 16 million taels of silver. This was when Shi Xian issued a military order to the emperor."
"so much?"
"That's right, can you have so much money?"
"It's true that I'm hairless and can't do things well."
...
When he heard Jia Sidao's words, all the important officials around him were dissatisfied and discussed it. Of course, they all said everything, but in the final analysis, they believed in a few people, and most of them were suspicious.
Although Zhao Shimi, Zheng Xingzhi, Yuan Fu and others didn't say anything, their expressions were all skeptical. Especially when they heard Jia Sidao say that he had already issued a military order in front of Zhao Yun, Zheng Xingzhi's face was even more disappointed.
"Okay, wait and be calm and listen to Shi Xian finish his words."
Although Zhao Shimi was also skeptical, through his brief contact, Zhao Shimi could also see that Jia Sidao was obviously a person who knew how to advance and retreat. How could a person who knew how to advance and retreat and be tactful, be so stupid that he forced himself into a dead end?
In front of Zhao Yun, with Jia Sidao's current status, as well as Concubine Jia and Zhao Yun's favor, there is no need to do such a dangerous move, right?
"Haha, the first year is 16 million taels of silver, and the second year is 20 million taels of taxes for the Maritime General Administration... Starting..." Jia Sidao breathed heavily, which almost shocked everyone around him.
20 million taels of silver, the total amount of taxes in the Song Dynasty is now in a year, which is a lot? It's only between 600 million taels of silver. Of course, before the Song Dynasty lost half of the country, the tax revenue was even more than 100 million taels of silver. But Jia Sidao actually boasted that the tax paid by the Maritime General Office to the court in the second year of Haikou could account for one quarter of the total tax of the Song Dynasty. What is this? According to his algorithm, in three or four years, wouldn't the tax collected by the Maritime General Office be directly above the national tax of the Song Dynasty?
The people present, including Zhao Shimi, looked at Jia Sidao with no longer shock and doubt, but were directly... as if they were looking at an idiot!
He touched his nose, okay, he was despised. If he told them that this was just a basic number, would Zhao Shimi directly sweep himself out? Jia Sidao touched his nose and thought helplessly.
"So, Shi Xian is planning to add a Finance and Fu Department under the Maritime General Office, the Maritime General Office, and the Jianghe Department to establish a Bank of the Maritime General Office, which is mainly responsible for the storage and storage of tax and silver collected by the Maritime General Office..."
"Do the emperor know about this?"
Zhao Shimi interrupted Jia Sidao and asked in an instant.
"I have already expressed my consent to Your Majesty, and the Lord has already agreed."
"Well!" Zhao Shimi rubbed Xiaoyu Ruyi in her hand and responded vaguely without comment.
Zhao Yun actually knew, and it seemed that he had already agreed. This made the little worry in Zhao Shimi's heart disappear again.
"As the name suggests, the banking and banking bank. Of course, it is naturally not enough to collect taxes. Therefore, after the establishment of the bank of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager, it must accept the silver collusion of the wealthy and wealthy merchants and nobles of the Song Dynasty, as long as the bank is placed in the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of
"What? Don't collect the cash, give it back?" Zhao Shimi said in disbelief.
"That's right, it's true that he's hairless and he can't do things well."
"I'm afraid the emperor's money will be ruined..."
...
There was another wave of contemptuous discussion around me!
Jia Sidao had already expected these, so he simply turned on the filtering mode and continued to say to himself: "So, Shi Xian thought that the grain of several grain merchants can be directly calculated as silver and deposited into the bank of our Marine General Administration. Well, it will take a three-year period. Within three years, the Marine General Administration Bank will pay a certain amount of interest for these silver every year. After three years, as long as you want to withdraw the silver, Shi Xian guarantees a one-time payment. Of course, if you don't want to withdraw the silver, you can continue to deposit it in the bank of Marine General Administration. The interest, the Marine General Administration Bank will also be calculated and paid annually. I wonder what you think, the prince, the amount, what do you think?"
Jia Sidao looked at Wen Lianggong, who was surprised and suspicious, and Qian Hengduo and others slowly said.
Chapter completed!
