In addition to the "Please allocate labor instructions" submitted by Qin Huiwan, the Ministry of Industry also submitted a "Please allocate labor instructions", and the Ministry of Household Affairs submitted a "Please allocate income and reduce expenditures."

Similar to Qin Huiwan's memorial, the Ministry of Industry's "Request for Labor Calls" also uses these five words as its title, and the first one or two hundred words also express admiration for Zhao Huan, an official.

and respect, the last two to three hundred words are the key points.

The fonts of these two memorials are very neat and beautiful, just like the standard regular script of later generations. They look very pleasing to the eye. However, Zhao Huan looked carefully for a long time before he could see a few words between the words.

I, Qin Huiwan/Household Department, Labor, are not enough, please replenish as soon as possible.

Zhao Huan had an indifferent attitude towards this.

It is normal for Qin Huiwan to need laborers. After all, laborers are needed to build the Great Wall, and laborers are also needed to build a new capital city. Especially the construction standard of the new capital city is "no majesty without majesty"——

Not only did the new capital refer to the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, Zhao Huan also creatively referred to the Jinling Imperial City and the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, which caused the new capital's demand for labor to skyrocket.

Without the use of a large number of free labor, no matter how good Qin Huiwan was, he probably would not be able to complete the construction of the entire capital.

Similarly, the Ministry of Industry has to constantly build roads and build roads. In addition to road construction, it also needs to dredge rivers and repair bridges. All kinds of projects require manpower. If there are no laborers, they can only let

The people of the Song Dynasty stepped forward.

If these projects are not dangerous, then the Ministry of Industry and local governments would not mind letting the people of the Song Dynasty work on them. After all, Zhao Huan had already abolished the corvee, and the people still had money to work on the construction sites, and the local governments also had

In terms of political performance, even the Ministry of Revenue, which is responsible for paying out money, can find opportunities to collect more taxes. This is a good thing that has the best of all three worlds. Everyone from the people to the local officials to the court is happy to see its results.

But what about those dangerous projects?

Let’s not talk about whether the people are willing or not. The problem now is that even if the people are willing, the officials in the local government are not willing, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is also unwilling.

The local government is interested in the growth rate of Dingkou. If there are too many civilian casualties, it will easily affect the official career.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is interested in the Dingkou tax. If there are too many casualties among the people, who will collect this tax? The official "Never Increase Taxes" directly blocked the way to increase the tax. If it affects the Dingkou tax again, is it really possible?

Want to let rats run away from the treasury?

Therefore, the local government and the Ministry of Industry set their sights on the workers in the spirit of internationalism.

The workers are good. There is no need to pay them, and it doesn’t matter even if they die. Just find a place to bury them and that’s it. It will not affect the local officials’ growth rate assessment of Dingkou, nor will it affect the Dingkou of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

tax revenue.

The officials of the Song Dynasty, who were accustomed to the mindset of a celestial dynasty, never regarded workers as human beings. In their eyes, a worker was even less valuable than a big animal.

What should we do if we need a lot of manpower to meet the construction deadline? Let the laborers come on!

What should we do if we encounter dangerous work sections such as digging mountains and digging wells? Let the workers come in!

Therefore, labor is a consumable product, and it is also a fast consumable product that you don’t need to worry about.

But then again, workers don’t appear out of thin air——

Regardless of whether they were Bangzi or Japanese slaves during the Song Dynasty, they were all typical representatives of a small country and a few people. Hundreds of villagers could be boasted about the Warring States Period, their population and national strength.

It is also conceivable.

If the land area of ​​the Song Dynasty continues to expand, there is a demand for labor everywhere, some sticks are attached, some Japanese slaves are slaughtered, some Xixia slaves are slaughtered, Jiaozhi wild monkeys are completely exterminated, and other messy factors.

Taking this into account, the number of available workers seems to be insufficient, and even feels stretched.

This is also the reason why Qin Huiwan and the Ministry of Industry Hui appeared on "Please Call Labor Discount" at the same time.

Of course, this problem was a headache for Qin Huiwan, the Ministry of Industry, and the local government, but for Zhao Huan, it was not a big problem at all.

"The Marquis of the South recruited laborers from Srivijaya to be transported to Shuntian Mansion."

"The Marquis of Nanyang recruited laborers from other countries in Southeast Asia to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Look, with just two simple sentences, can the problem be solved?

Srivijaya can be regarded as the overlord in Nanyang, and there are many small countries who are following Srivijaya wholeheartedly. It just so happens that Srivijaya is now obsessed with going against the Song Dynasty. So Srivijaya and

Don’t those small countries have a large amount of labor available for distribution?

As for other issues, such as how to "recruit labor", whether there will be conflicts in the process, whether the scene will be bloody, etc., those are the issues that Han Shizhong should consider. With the emperor Zhao Huan

It doesn't matter.

But, Qin Huiwan's problem with the Ministry of Industry regarding labor requests has been solved, but the problem with the Ministry of Household Affairs has not yet been solved.

In accordance with the rules of the world, Zhuang Chengyi first described how empty the national treasury was and how rampant rats were in the first one or two hundred words of "Please increase revenue and reduce expenditure". Then he changed his words and said that the economy of the Song Dynasty was now very fast.

Do you know that you were screwed by the officials?

Forget it, don’t ask, you are an emperor, you know nothing about the treasury, I’d better just start complaining——

Obviously labor is a kind of fast-moving consumer goods that does not cost money, but from the government, you have to buy it at the price of five guan per laborer. Isn’t this a big deal? Forget it, you are an emperor, you know nothing

of labor.

It is obvious that the Song Dynasty still has a lot of shit on its body that has not been completely wiped clean. Officials, you have to start the war on several fronts. In the Northeast, you have to fight the Jinlu, in the Western Regions, you have to fight the Seljuks, and in the South, you have to destroy the three Buddhas.

Qi, do you know how much logistical pressure there is in fighting on the third front? Forget it, you are an emperor and you know shit about logistics.

There is clearly going to be a war, but you are still carrying out infrastructure construction, road construction, and social education in the Song Dynasty. If you add up these messy things, the money required will be an astronomical figure, do you know? Forget it, you are an emperor, you

The treasury knows nothing.

In short, I am losing hair in handfuls now. If you don't think about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the rats in the treasury will really run away in droves.

How about you wait for a while after destroying Srivijaya? Anyway, after destroying Sriwijaya, the labor force will probably be enough for a year and a half. During this year and a half, let’s not find anyone to start it.

Filmed?

Or should we delay the construction of a new capital city for you? Anyway, the construction time plan for the new capital city is twenty years, how about we add another ten years?
Chapter completed!
