Xia, April, Wuzi, Liao gave silk to the poor people in Zhongjing, and gave silk to the poor people in Wuku, and exempted half of the tribute from all roads.

Ji Chou, who had been begging for an official position because of his rich reputation as a scholar, was ordered to go to the court every tenth day to attend the banquet. Because he went to the capital hall to discuss matters, he still went to the Sutra Banquet on the first day of the month.

Old Man Wen really helped his little junior brother get on the horse and give him a ride. Now he saw that although Su You was young, he was very mature and sophisticated in his work, and he was happy to let go and enjoy his leisure time.

After Cheng Yi was demoted from the capital, Lu Gongzhu's attitude towards Su You also experienced some subtle changes, and he repeatedly wrote letters to beg for help.

However, Su You respected him as always, and trusted and relied on other conservatives such as Han Wei, Fan Zuyu, Fan Chunren, and Lu Dafang, and boldly delegated power. In the end, Lu Gongzhu gradually calmed down, and recently he no longer Submitted a letter.

In private, the two discussed the issue of Cheng Yi and Su Shi's departure, and finally reached an agreement.

At best, Cheng Yi could only define him as a folk scholar, who was unqualified as an official.

Su Shi was very talented, but his character determines his destiny. Sima Guang was right. If his character didn't change, it would be the end of a Hanlin bachelor's degree and a scholar.

On Xinmao, Su Yuanzhen reported the severe drought in spring and summer, and issued an edict: "Since the eleventh day of this month, I have avoided the main hall and reduced my daily meals. The ministers and ministers have diligently repaired their duties and worked together to recover."

Ding You, using Fan Chunren's words, appealed to the Minister of Finance with four ultimatums. If the grievances could not be redressed, he ordered the censor to investigate separately.

In Jihai, due to drought, the Empress Dowager withdrew her power and received the ceremony of enrolment, and ordered the road supervisors to supervise the county prisons.

On Jiachen, Su You received weather monitoring from Si Tianjian. The air humidity and pressure had changed, and he asked the Empress Dowager and Zhao Xu to pray for rain in the Taiyi Palace.

He expressed his desire to offer his hair, to show his willingness to sacrifice himself, and to sincerely pray for rain.

Su You and other ministers came forward one after another to give advice.

Gao Taotao ordered Zhao Xu to cut off his hair and tell the officials, "My hair has been cut off. You can do what you want."

Then he issued an edict with the following words: "It is beneficial to all people, why do I love my hair and skin!"

The imperial edict was written by Su Shi, excerpting the original words of the Empress Dowager, which moved the heavens and the earth. It rained in less than five days, and the drought in the north was lifted.

The people in Bianjing cried bitterly after reading the article in the "Times". They went to Xuandemen in the rain to kneel down, kowtow and shout long live.

At Yisi, Wang Ji, the Prime Minister of Liaonan Prefecture, died and went to Beijing to help Ping and Jin, who were suffering from hunger in the three prefectures.

In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations were opened to recruit scholars, and the Jinshi Liu Tao and others were awarded and passed various subjects. A total of 1,122 people were born.

Gao Taotao ordered the newly released Brown Jinshi to have one million yuan and five hundred bottles of wine, and collect fees for a period of time.

Taixue Liu Tao became the number one scholar in the new subject, Zhang Yuan was second, Zhang Chi was eighth, and the others, such as Chen Shidao, Zhang Jue, Shu Cheng, Wen Qian, etc. all won.

The most amazing thing is that when the list was announced, Sun Xie, who was picked out from the deposed examination paper by Su Shi and placed fifth, still ranked fifth in the imperial examination!

When everyone came here, they were impressed by Su Shi's unique insight.

Now that Su You has become a big boss, he accompanies Zhao Xu to host the banquet at Jinmingchi. He must write a poem to reward those who come after him. Among them is the sentence "The five jade steps are numerous today, but the unparalleled blue eyes were like yesterday" to record this legendary story.

In Wushen, the drought was relieved with sweet rain, and the imperial palace resumed meals. The Liao Dynasty ordered the Ministry of Households to send grains, and Haiyun Temple sent tens of millions of money to the people to relieve the homeless people on the road and the hunger in Yizhou.

First, Xi, Fengfa, Sima Guang wanted to rectify everything, but Li Qingchen insisted on fighting for it, thinking it was impossible.

After Su You became the prime minister, he begged Li Qingchen to join him in admonishing and following him.

In May, Li Changjin of the Ministry of Household Affairs published the "Yuanyou Accounting and Statistics Book" and the "Yuanyou Household Accounting and Statistics Regulations", which for the first time compiled the national financial accounting and budget planning, as well as the accounting and statistical systems of the Ministry of Household into documents.

The two books are collectively called "Accounting Records". Although they were five months late, they were finally completed.

I really don’t blame Li Chang for this, the main reason is that there are too many historical debts. Su You is pleased with this progress.

According to statistics, in the early years of Xining in the Song Dynasty, the national fiscal revenue was 120 million yuan.

Among them, the national land is 4.5 million hectares, the income from taxes on farmers and farmers is 50 million guan, and the commercial tax is 30 million guan. The remaining 40 million guan is the income from the imperial court and the royal family's exclusive business of distiller's yeast, salt, tea, copper, and iron.

Before that, all these revenues were counted as national fiscal revenue, and most of the two taxes were converted from grain, horse feed, silk and linen, etc.

In terms of expenditure, due to redundancy, years of wars, famines, bloated imperial court, and flooding of the Yellow River, 120 million guan cannot be retained at all. The best annual surplus is 7 million guan, and then generally there will be a surplus of 7 million guan. Keeping up with the deficit for two or three years, the national treasury is becoming increasingly empty.

In the first year of Yuanyou, the situation improved greatly, and the country's acres increased to 8.5 million hectares.

However, the two taxes on Ding and Nong did not double. This is because of the preferential agricultural policies in Nanhai, Ningxia and other places, as well as the payment for the former Qingmiao, Shiyi, and Changping laws, and all those who should be exempted were removed, so the two taxes only increased to 7,000. Five million dollars.

However, commercial taxation has achieved gratifying growth. In addition to the great prosperity of industry and commerce and maritime trade in various places, there is also the dismantling of the behemoth Sitong Company, which has included the clan industry among the objects of imperial taxation.

From the Song Dynasty to today, the commercial tax alone has reached 100 million yuan, far exceeding the agricultural tax and Ding tax, becoming the largest tax type in the Song Dynasty.

Among them, the contribution of several municipal shipping companies is as high as 60 million yuan, and the foreign trade export industry has become a large part of the commercial tax.

In addition to these, there are actually profits from the royal family's industrial assets, and this part of the income is also very considerable.

If these are included in the national income according to the previous calculation methods, it will definitely exceed 200 million yuan.

However, Li Chang saved face for the royal family and only included in the statistics the portion of Dongshengzhou's revenue that could not be concealed from anyone, which was shared equally between the imperial court and the inner treasury, making it fifteen million dollars.

Therefore, in total, the national revenue has now reached a huge amount of 190 million yuan.

However, there is no surplus in terms of expenditure. According to Su You's arrangement, the income of the Zhao Song family is not included in the national statistics, but Su You has obtained a guarantee from Gao Taotao, that is, the inner treasury must maintain six National risk reserves worth tens of millions serve as an emergency fund when the country needs it.

These 60 million yuan are used to protect the country's economy and must not be touched during normal times. The remaining money can be used as investment funds for the royal industry.

Similarly, the Ministry of Household Affairs must ensure a "treasury base" of 40 million yuan all year round for emergency needs, and the rest must be within one's means, with a slight surplus.

Finance is a circulation process, and keeping it all at home will only grow mold and be useless.

And these two bottom treasury are now full, and this does not include the sealing treasury and Yuanfeng treasury used as war reserves.

Therefore, these 190 million yuan cannot be left at all, but their uses have fundamentally changed.

The new army is a beast that swallows gold. During the Xining period, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty included the Xiang army, the state army, volunteers, rural archers, inspections, Yandingkuding barbarian and Tibetan troops, etc., as high as two hundred Thousands of them.

Now these messy "armies" have basically been disbanded and turned into productive forces. The Song Dynasty only retains the old and new professional armies, and their number has been reduced to 400,000.

However, the military expenditure was still as high as 50 million guan, of which 10 million guan was spent on equipment and horses for the new army, and the rest was spent on shipbuilding, guns, and new and old military salaries.

The difference in treatment between the two armies can also be seen here.

Among the remaining expenditures, there are 10 million guan for official salary, 10 million guan for clan subsidy, and 3 million guan for the additional government police salary.

The remaining 110 million yuan will be used by the imperial court to maintain local government offices, build roads, prevent rivers, develop water conservancy projects, build cities, build schools, make up for the loss of warehouses, maintain water transportation, provide disaster relief, provide relief, mine, open the sea, and reward the barbarians. and many other aspects.

There are benign output effects in many aspects here, and the fiscal expenditure structure has been completely changed.

Although they are also expenditures, the national fiscal expenditures in the Yuanyou Year and the national fiscal expenditures in the Xining Year are no longer the same.

Moreover, there has been a great adjustment in the physical composition of income. After the Song Dynasty solved the shortcomings of money shortage, these incomes remained unchanged except for the grain part, and were more reflected in the form of currency, which is also the highlight of this statistical budget.

Only with sufficient supply of currency circulation can the policy of "putting silver into the land" have a foundation and soil, otherwise it will become a policy that harms the people like it did in the Ming Dynasty.

Now there is a glimmer of possibility.

This is only the top level of the pyramid. Private wealth began to accumulate after Yuanfeng was restructured, and it is far greater than this book amount.

The financial report of Huangsong Bank shows that the treasure banknotes in circulation in the Song Dynasty have reached 500 million guan, and the imported money has reached 100 million guan.
