Chapter 102 Sang Hongyang (1)(1/2)

The Grand Minister of the Qin Dynasty was called the Neishishi of the Squash. According to the Han Dynasty, the first year of the First Emperor and Later Emperors became the Grand Minister of the Great Resident. Now the first year of Taichu, the Grand Minister of the Great Resident was the Grand Minister of the Great Resident.

Since Qin Dynasty, the national economy has been jointly managed by the Siong and Shaofu.

The responsibilities and powers of the two are also clearly distinguished.

The Grand Minister of the People's Republic of China is in charge of the world's money and valleys, and provides the country's daily expenses. The Shaofu holds taxes on the mountain and lake salt ponds, serves the royal family, presides over the construction of palaces and cemeteries, and works part-time weapons manufacturing.

Today, the Han Dasi Agricultural Office is a terrifying bureaucratic organization that is so huge that it suffocates you.

Its energy is beyond your imagination.

Zhang Yue told him the historical materials he had traced back.

It is this terrible institution that supports and supports the operation of the war machines of the Han Empire.

Especially after Sang Hongyang presided over the Grand Secretary's Farming, this institution assumed almost most of the supply of war funds.

The Han Book "Food and Memorial Records" records that Zhangye and Jiuquan County were first established, and Shangjun Shuofang, Xihe, and Hexi Province opened land officials. 600,000 guards were repelled from the frontier to garrison the fields. China repaired roads and fed food. The distance was 3,000 miles away, and more than a thousand miles away, all of which were entrusted to the Grand Secretary.

It also said: Han sent troops for three years in a row... all the expenses were relied on the farmers, and the farmers helped them with the tax on evenly exporting salt and iron...

Zhang Chang, the prime minister of Emperor Zhao, once wrote to Emperor Zhao: In the past, the former emperor conquered the four barbarians and had been in power for more than 30 years, but the people still did not add taxes and used sufficient military service.

Although I didn't say it directly, it was all Sang Hongyang's credit.

But it is almost the same as admitting the achievements of Sang Hongyang and his Grand Marine System.

And today, Zi is even more famous for her wealth-loving boy.

In his prime, he enfeoffed Mount Tai in the east, patrolled the Great Wall in the north, and sent more than 100,000 troops.

Spread money everywhere along the way.

Not only did he exempt the taxes from the county and county people he passed by, he also rewarded local people and officials with great effort.

In the first year of Yuanfeng, on the way to Mount Tai, he rewarded a total of one million pieces of cloth and tens of millions of Wuzhu coins.

And all these expenses were paid by the Grand Marshal.

Then the question is.

How did the Dasi Farmers' yamen meet the state's military expenditure and the emperor spend money everywhere without adding land tax? (The land tax and tuition in the Han Dynasty were separated. The former belonged to the Dasi Farmers, and the latter belonged to the Shaofu income. The Shaofu money was the emperor's private money to be used to repair palaces and imperial tombs, and there were basically no entry or exit...)

The answer is to slaughter fat sheep!

Since Wenjing, the ruling Huang-Lao School politicians have pursued the concept of tranquility and inaction, advocated a small government and a big society, and were willing to give the people free decisions and free space for free play.

As a result, the world's industry, commerce and handicraftsmen flourished and developed rapidly.

There are hundreds of millions of tycoons in almost every county.

Rich merchants, such as Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zhengying, spent all their manpower and gathered the wealth of the world, making them richer than kings and princes.

There are also powerful usury merchants who are rampant in the world, driving thousands of tycoons to lend money everywhere to collect accounts.

But these scoundrels are unwilling to pay taxes and try their best to evade taxes.

During the time of Wen Jing, the country was too lazy to care about them.

Let them be free and happy.

However, after the war against the Huns was launched today, the situation changed.

The ruling school, where the people did not care about what the people were doing at home (as long as they did not break the law), became the mortal enemy of merchants, Confucianism and Legalism.

So, under the order, countless dead souls were heard.

A large number of handicraftsmen and wealthy businessmen were instantly destroyed.

Their property, land, and means of production were all confiscated.

Money and grain are filled into the treasury, houses and land, and fakes are made with the poor.

Social conflicts decreased significantly in an instant, and national income soared.

Although Yang Ke, who was in charge of the lawsuit, is now dead, the one who was responsible for allocating and confiscating land and using public land at that time was Sang Hongyang, the current Sulwon Neishi, who was responsible for the distribution of land and the use of public land.

To this day, the Grand Secretary’s Farmers’ Office, led by Sang Hongyang, is still implementing the policy of “fake public land”.

Millions of acres of public land are also retained in the list of the Grand Secretary’s Farmers’ Office.

At this moment, Zhang Yue was standing at the door of the Grand Secretary’s Office, looking up at the government office in front of him, a little surprised.

In his opinion, the Grand Secretary’s Farmers’ Office held the wealth of the world and the lifeblood of the country’s economy.

Not to mention the magnificent yamen, at least it must be built beautifully.

But the result...

The official residence in front of me seems a bit dilapidated.

Although it looks very big and there are many guards at the door, the walls and gates of the yamen are probably not as grand as those of an ordinary county yamen in Guanzhong.

Liu Jin was also stunned.

Can't believe my eyes.

"This is the Grand Secretary's Farmer's Office?" he asked.

"Your Highness, this place is the Grand Secretary's Farmer's Office!" Everyone answered.

Liu Jin's face instantly fell down.

He has been to the Jiuqing Official Residence of Chang'an.

The most luxurious one is the Shaofu Office in the Weiyang Palace, which is simply written on the forehead: Fuku.

Even the Great Honglu Office, which has the least power and resources among the nine ministers, is also a rich mansion, with a continuous stream of attics and water pavilions.

The Great Honglu even spent money to build a cellar similar to the Lingshi in the Weiyang Palace for himself and his subordinates, which was specially stored in ice for mid-summer cooling.

But now he found that the Grand Secretary and Peasant Office, who had mastered the wealth of the country and was criticized by countless people as "traitors", "disasters the country" and "heavy crimes", was frugal and unreasonable.

"Sang Neishi Shi's life is the most in Pingjin Xianhou..." Someone whispered: "So, since he became an official, he has been frugal... I have heard that the clothes of Sang Neishi Shi and his family were obtained by Mrs. Sang and her servants raising silkworms and timbering..."

"Then why didn't you talk to Gu before..." Liu Jin suddenly turned around and stared at the man.

When the other party heard this, he trembled and said, "I am guilty of death!"

Liu Jin glanced at the other party deeply, then sighed weakly.

He knew that this person could not be blamed for this matter. This person was just a small character and a minion.

"Get up..." He waved his hand, then looked at Zhang Yue, and said, "Shizhong Zhang, let's go see Sang Neishi together!"

"No!" Zhang Yue bowed and said, "I wish to follow your order!"

…………………………………………………………

In the Grand Secretary’s Office of the Agricultural Office, Sang Hongyang was working on a batch of official documents at his desk.

He is a typical workaholic.

I once gave up my day off and chose to work for a whole year.

It is this crazy working state and super working ability that has enabled him to change the political situation of the government and opposition since the third year of Yuanshou.

This Grand Secretary’s Farmer’s Office is his one-man show.

Even last year, after his nephew Sang Sheng was exposed under his banner, colluding with the Wei family's children outside, committing crimes, and even murdering others.

Although the emperor was relieved of his position as a Grand Chief Peasant, he was demoted to the commander of the Su Du.

However, no new Grand Master Farm was appointed.

In other words, although he was demoted, his status and power were still the same.

In fact, it is just a three-glass of wine, so I won’t be able to use it as an example.

So much so that people in the world call him "Sang Duwei", but "Sang Neisha".

His official position as the commander of the Su Duwei was directly called the "Minister of the Su Dushi".

While Sang Hongyang was thinking about how to deal with the official documents in front of him, suddenly one of his trusted retainers walked over to him and said, "Lord, Emperor Changsun and Minister Zhang Zizhong, please see you at the door of the official residence!"

When Sang Hongyang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he jumped up excitedly like a young man who was going to go on a blind date: "I'm notifying the government offices and come out to greet me!"

The eldest grandson of the emperor!

This is the eldest grandson of the emperor!

Sang Hongyang dreamed that he would meet and talk to the person he would like to meet.

Unfortunately, I have never been able to do it.

Now the other party is here to his door?

Very good!

Sang Hongyang had a lot of things to say to the other party.

He needs to give a good explanation to the future supreme of the country in the work of the Grand Secretary’s Farming Office and the matter of the salt and iron system.
