"Master Goulong", Qin Xi seems to feel that how Goulong Ruyuan looks unpleasant today, frowning, and said: "What we are discussing today is about the country's major affairs related to the rise and fall of the world. It is a matter of donating taxes. Hu Cao Ling's subordinates are responsible, but it is not something that you and my generation should pay attention to."
"Master Qin said that Ruyuan could not agree with him." Goulong Ruyuan was not polite, smiled, and said to himself: "The important matter of the country is to worship and Rong, and now the emperor's official imperial conquest, the battle is out, these two donations When Bao Daren proposed it, he claimed that it was for the frontline sergeants to raise munitions and wages urgently. The effectiveness is not only related to the victory or defeat of the frontline, but also related to the survival and abolishment of my great Song Guozuo, and the continuation of the blood of my ancestors. , And so arrogant not to be the country's major government?!"
"Master Goulong is a clever tongue, you..." Qin Xi sneered, but Qin Hui's gaze was blocked by Qin Hui while he was waiting to rebut.
"You two are both important ministers of the country. Although this is a private residence and a different court, you still need to be self-respecting, and you can no longer be entangled in a bit of verbal controversy." Although Qin Hui's words were faint, he could not hear much blame. , But the invisible power between Gu and Pan is not to say that Qin Xi has already bowed and said yes. It is the Hooking Long Ruyuan who has always been laughing and smiling. He could not help but sit up straight, and Qin Hui could only look forward to it. Focusing on him, he slightly nodded and said: "Ru Yuan is definitely not a confidant, now that I just said that. I want to come to Luxiang to learn about the people’s sentiments, I don’t know if I want to avoid hard work. Let the old man open his eyes?!"
"Ru Yuan just started talking, really Meng Lang, I really don't dare to praise Qin Xianggong", Goulong Ruyuan also recovered, secretly sighed in his heart, bowed his hands to Qin Hui, and said: "Ye Ruyuan But these days I've watched a lot, listened a lot, and I'm just a little foolish."
"In all fairness, the fault was not due to the war between the Chinese and the Chinese. What Bao Daren raised on that day could not be said to be a policy of misunderstanding the country." Gou Long Ruyuan looked at Qin Hui and said: "After all, the Jurchen Hulu army pressed the land, the emperor official Visiting the battlefield in person, this battle is directly related to my luck in the Song Dynasty. Although these days in Lin'an City seem to be still singing and dancing, it seems that if my Song and Jin battle is thousands of miles away, in fact, this victory or defeat will affect it. I'm afraid that I have thousands of people in Song Dynasty, no one is rich or poor, no one is outside the world!"
Gou Long Ruyuan said that even Qin Xi could only remain silent, and there was nothing to refute in court.
At that time, although the Great Song Dynasty had already re-established its foothold between the rivers and mountains in the south half of the Yangtze River, and gradually gained a firm foothold, after all, the changes in Jingkang in the past are not far away, and there are even three people present. Strictly speaking, it is nothing but a hook. In addition to Long Ruyuan, Qin Hui and Qin Xi were both people who had personally experienced the changes in Jingkang that day.
The biggest difference between the Jurchen Army and the Song Army is that this group of horseback people, who have lived on nomadic hunting since childhood, are fighting for a quick word. It is said that ordinary sergeants in the Jurchen Army can do it along the way. When they eat and rest, they will never leave their saddles, and even in order not to affect the speed of travel, at the beginning of Song and Jin’s battle, there was no heavy team in the army of these Jurchens, and they only took a few days with each person. Dry food and drinking water, and the rest of the supply is plundered on the spot after siege of the city. Although this way of fighting in a robber and horse-thief style is not conducive to long-term tackling, it has a speed advantage that is rare in the world. Thousands of miles away, but if the army led by the real emperor’s official family or the Xiongguan guarded by Han Shizhong can’t stop the Jurchens’ marching, those Jurchen cavalry will sweep southward, and it’s only a ten-day day view. Enough soldiers came directly to Lin'an City.
When the front lines were already eroded and the defenders of the Song Dynasty abandoned the city and fled, how could it be that the city of Bianjing always felt that the war was still very far away from itself like today’s Lin’an city, even until the Jurchen gold was already Gathered under the city of Bianjing, countless ministers and gentry from the emperor’s official family in Bianjing have not yet fully awakened from the drunken life in time. It’s just that the life in this city is the easiest for people to adopt. Inertia and dependence, because of the situation that hasn't been for many years, most of the people in Lin'an City have forgotten the panic that occurred when the Bianjing City was broken at that time, and they have returned to the old state.
However, the officials of the Song Dynasty were not always incompetent. Although the Chinese officials of the court are now under the control of Qin Hui, they are also Song people after all. Their wealth and glory and even their wealth and life are also dependent on Under this great Song Dynasty, no matter anyone between them, even including Qin Xi, who sits in the lobby and is tit-for-tat against Goulong Ruyuan, he would not want to see Lin'an City perform again. A scene of the tragic change in Bianjing, these days, the Chinese and the Chinese armed forces have competed fiercely. There is absolutely no cooperation between various officials and Yue Fei, who is in charge of the dynasty. However, they are transported to the front line. All kinds of luggage and supplies, but also do their best, give their best, no one stays in trouble. Although there are reasons for the emperor's official imperial conquest, it has nothing to do with the mentality of these officials, so Now that Gou Long Ruyuan made this statement, Qin Xi could only express his approval.
"It’s just that, as a civil servant, today the sub-official family has already come to the front line again. There is no need for me to wait for the military tactical counsellor to plan and gesticulate. What I can do is to guard when the emperor’s official family is away. Jinganmin, don’t let the turbulence caused by the battle on the front line affect the government and people’s livelihood in the Song Dynasty.” Gou Long Ruyuan watched Qin Hui and Qin Xi without answering, so he continued: “At the same time, try to plan what the soldiers need in front of you. Baggage is also the most important thing in the current affairs. After all, the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass are the first. If the army cannot be guaranteed, how can the frontline soldiers move forward together?!"
"Master Goulong's words of keeping the border and peace of mind are really good," Qin Xi sneered, and couldn't help but say: "That's the case, Master Goulong thought that Yue Fei and the others were acting like a martial artist. Did the harsh donations and miscellaneous gifts proposed by Daren never shake my Song Dynasty government and destroy my Song Dynasty people's livelihood?!
"This is another meaning that Ruyuan wants to say." Goulong Ruyuan seemed to have expected Qin Xi to say this, smiled slightly, and said: "Bao Daren just proposed these two donations. At that time, Ruyuan also disagrees!"
"Ruyuan is not a person who eats the past without transforming it", Goulong Ruyuan looked at Qin Hui, who was smiling and silent, and explained: "It's just that from Ruyuan's point of view, things are prioritized and do not disturb the people and do not add gifts. It is our generation who is the governor of the court. What the government asks for is just when the army is overwhelming. When the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, military affairs should be the first thing. Even if this violates the saint’s way of not wanting to compete with the people for profit, it is also helpless in Ruyuan’s view. Things that have to be dealt with in the middle, after all, the skin does not exist, and Mao will be attached. If it is difficult to preserve the great Song Dynasty, the country and the people’s livelihood, there is no way to talk about it!"
"Ruyuan also led Yushitai to serve as an officer on the same day, and rallied and questioned Bao Daren's policy. It was not because he thought that the two donation proposals proposed by Bao Daren were improper when it was really urgent." Goulong Ruyuan didn’t pause between his words, and Qin Xi, who wanted to question his self-contradiction, didn’t even have time to speak. He only heard Goulong Ruyuan slowly say: "It’s just that Ruyuan thinks I have not It's time to be forced to perform such helpless actions!"
"Although Ruyuan has not been an official in the court for a long time, and has never been in charge of my Da Song Caifu affairs, but today, even an ordinary young child knows from the past that the country’s taxation is no better than me. Da Song Dynasty, even though the land of Henan is now in the hands of the Jurchen Hulu, my Da Song Dynasty temporarily resides in the southern half of the Yangtze River. However, since the Qin Xianggong government reigned, it has begun to restore people’s livelihood and production for more than ten years. In recent years, the annual income of our country in the Great Song Dynasty is no less than that of the prosperous period of Han and Tang Dynasties!" Gou Long Ruyuan said, looking at Qin Hui with a somewhat complicated expression.
These days, as he became more involved in the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and as he saw the current situation more clearly, he felt that the more he could not figure out whether the Qin Hui and Qin Xianggong in front of him was a What kind of character.
As far as the Song Dynasty imperial family is concerned, then this Qin Hui Qin Xianggong is undoubtedly an unrelenting authority. For more than ten years, he has been in charge of the country, repelling dissidents, and whether the officials have been promoted or not, he still controls himself. The imperial examination, the monopoly country’s way of employing people and recruiting scholars, and even the courts of the Song Dynasty, were almost entirely Qin Hui’s party. I’m afraid that before the emperor’s official disposition suddenly changed, the emperor of the Song Dynasty might not have his imperial decree. Xiangfu Jun's order is useful, but if it is for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, this Qin Hui Qin Xianggong is undoubtedly a competent minister, although most of the officials he has promoted and selected in the past ten years are mostly flattery and flattery. However, in terms of their respective responsibilities, they can all be regarded as making the best use of everything. Although the national policy he presided over was reprinted on 16Literature.16. The main axis was the peace of the Jurchen Kingdom, but the people’s livelihood was restored and rectified during the period. The political system has also made the Song Dynasty quickly restored, and the country’s revenue has increased year by year. You must know that although the southern half of the Yangtze River is not as well-satisfied as the old place in Henan, Jin Wushu led the army to search south on the same day. The traces of the emperor’s official family have also caused many places to be involved in the war. What's more, after the Jingkang change, countless Central Plains officials and citizens went south, adding such factors as unstable factors to the rivers and mountains in the southern half of the Yangtze River. It took more than a year to calm down this situation and surpass the original appearance of the Jiangnan land before the Jingkang change. It is indeed a very remarkable ability.
Unfortunately…
Gou Long Ruyuan sighed softly, and for a moment he was shocked by his thoughts.
"Master Goulong said that, Qin really couldn't understand it." Qin Xi looked at Goulong Ruyuan Jinger and suddenly stopped talking, and showed a thoughtful appearance. He was slightly angry and said. He said: "Since Master Goulong also knows that the wealth of the Song Dynasty is the only one in the past and the present, there is no shortage of food, grass and weapons. Bao Daren's theory of soliciting donations is purely a superfluous strategy to disturb the people's politics. What does it mean again?!"
"Master Qin, I really don't conceal it. Before that, Ruyuan had always thought like Master Qin in his heart." Goulong Ruyuan's words by Qin Xi returned to his mind, and asked Qin Xi to be bitter. He smiled, shook his head and said: "Until these days, Ruyuanxin has doubts. With the power of Yushi Zhongcheng, he asked Zhubu Yushi to investigate the supply and demand expenditures of the middle school and the storage details of food, grass and military supplies. Song Zhifu is unique in ancient and modern times, maybe it is true, but if you want to use only the official reserves of grain and grass, it is not to say that it is not prepared, it is to deal with the current situation such as the emperor official and Han Shizhong and Han Shuai led by the two can not add up. The rations of 100,000 horses cannot be supported for a long time!"
"Impossible." Qin Xi was really bluffed by Goulong Ruyuan's words. He almost stood up, but he woke up in time, glanced at Qin Hui, and quickly coughed a few times to cover up. The gaffe of the sorrow, this was a sullen expression, and said to Goulong Ruyuan: "Master Goulong, although the official is not in charge of the household’s military storage, the Zhongshusheren was originally set up for uploading and distributing, and the official is for the country. In recent years, the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty have worked hard to govern the tax system. The annual tax in the middle school is more than three times that of Zhu Jianyan’s early years. Except for daily needs, they are all adjusted to a fixed amount. How can Lord Goulong say what Master Goulong said when doing military supplies reserves?! Could it be that Master Goulong meant that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty Hall actually colluded with each other, falsely reported taxes, and filled their private pockets?! This matter? The matter is serious, Lord Goulong, don't talk about it!"
Although Qin Xi spoke this way, he understood in his heart that the Goulong Ruyuan in front of him, no matter how far away the deeds of these days and their father and son were, he was definitely not a confidant, since he If you dare to speak this way, there must be real evidence, but Qin Xi's moment is really hard to imagine that this prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty can be experienced by anyone. In the past few years, the Song Dynasty has not only been armed and armed, but also military. Economics and commerce are all prospering day by day, and it is something that can be seen casually. How can there be the situation mentioned by Gou Long Ruyuan.
unless…
Before Qin Xi's thoughts, an extremely terrifying thought faintly appeared in his heart. In such a moment of thought, he had already scared himself into a cold sweat, watching the corners of Qin Hui's mouth have never changed at all. With a smile, Qin Xi's heart was even more turbulent, but he spoke sternly, took the opportunity to turn his face to Goulong Ruyuan, and didn't dare to look at Qin Hui again.
"The national taxes have indeed been increasing year after year. Ruyuan also specially sent people to carefully compare the accounts of the various states in the past few years. There is not much difference between them. However, Ruyuan's subordinates Fang Yushi has not dared to stop and slack off these days. He ran between various ministries, yamen, prefectures and counties, and found a lot of cases of misdeeds.” Gou Long Ruyuan didn’t notice Qin Xiyou. What is unusual. In fact, after he first discovered such a situation, his thoughts were almost exactly the same as Qin Xi now. Even because he lived in the Imperial Palace and was in charge of the Imperial Academy, he was afraid that his reaction was better than that of the current Qin Xi. It's even more intense, so he just shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But if you talk about false tax returns, you can fill your pockets with such a big thing, like Yuan is incompetent, but you haven't found it."
"Ruyuan's words have lifted the old man's appetite," Qin Hui, who has been smiling and silent, interjected: "If you are like Ruyuan, you will not be right in front of the old man. It's just that the old man asks himself about the country's taxes. The understanding is so deep, I'm afraid that no one in the Song Dynasty can surpass the old man. For Ru Yuanshi's words, the old man is really puzzled. Listening to Ruyuan's tone, I think I have understood the reason for this. , To solve the confusion in the old man's heart."
Qin Hui has lived alone in the court for more than ten years. After the restructuring of the former Emperor Shenzong Yuanfeng, he removed the three envoys known as the "planning phase". He used the prime minister to take charge of finances and talked about national taxes. , I am afraid that today's emperor official, may not be able to understand more clearly than Qin Hui.
"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the country’s financial policies have been different from those of the previous dynasty. Although it is still farming-oriented, it has never been the same as the previous dynasty. The road is the prosperous commerce of the Song Dynasty, which is unprecedented in ancient and modern times.” Gou Long Ruyuan did not refuse, shook his head and said: “This certainly created my income tax during the Song Dynasty, which is unprecedented in the past. You are prosperous, and I am the richest man of the Song Dynasty. I can say that I am the only one in the past and the present, but if I discuss its foundation in detail, it is different from the previous dynasty!"
When it comes to the word "Fu Shu", Goulong Ruyuan's tone seems to be slightly different, but Qin Hui and Qin Xi have not paid much attention.
Goulong Ruyuan was a great Confucian, and he was deeply influenced by Confucianism since he was a child. He pretends to be a gentleman as a righteous man. He has always regarded those profitable ways as a small person to make a living. I checked the relevant accounts in detail, but he was naturally intelligent. Although he went into battle in a hurry, he still had a lot of money. He finally had some different views on the prosperity and prosperity of the Song Dynasty, which was extolled by the literati. .
At the peak of the Song Dynasty, the amount of tax revenues each year is indeed the only one in the history of the past. Even if it has now retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, it only has half of the rivers and mountains and the population of the territory. In comparison with the times, after all these years of recovery and development, the annual tax revenue of the country can already be compared to the strong Han and Tang dynasties, but not in the slightest inferior.
Only in the eyes of Goulong Ruyuan, this does not necessarily mean that the Song Dynasty really enriches the people and everyone enjoys prosperity. After all, the tax system of the Song Dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasties. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the National Middle School Taxes and expenditures are self-adopting a system of living within their means. The expenditures for the coming year are determined based on the actual amount of taxes collected each year. However, taxes are determined early in the morning in accordance with various standards. There are many examples of natural disasters such as rain, snow and thunderstorms, or the invasion of foreign enemies and even the construction of the palace. However, in general, there are always certain rules, and it was not until after Yang Yan established the "two tax system" in the Tang Dezong period. The change of previous practice was just that the Tang Dynasty had gone through the An-Shi Rebellion, and its prestige was not as good as before, and it was not a comparable standard.
The Song’s taxation system was mostly based on the two taxation system, and some changes have been made. However, the spirit of the two taxation system of measuring expenditure and revenue has been inherited. Every year, it is based on the tax revenue and income of the previous several years. Expenditure, and then work out the total amount of tax receivable this year, and then allocate this to various states and counties according to various standards. This was originally a good way to make account management clear. It is just a look at Goulong Ruyuan. In general, they often find that when the DPRK and China formulate their tax standards, they have set a wide range of expenditures in the past few years. Taxes continue to increase each year, and there are often side actions, such as before the change of Jingkang. The Huizong Emperor’s "Hua Shi Gang" and his like, which made the Song Dynasty angry and complained, were wasteful and wasteful. Although it seems that the annual taxation of the Song Dynasty is indeed over the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is after all based on the total taxation set by the officials in the DPRK. The levy is quite different from the number of taxes that directly reflected the increase and decrease of the land occupants during the Sui and Tang dynasties. The wealth of the Song Dynasty that literati has always believed is unique in ancient and modern times. In Yuan's view, I'm afraid there are still many things that can be carefully considered.
It’s just that Goulong Ruyuan knows that he is only half-knowledge of these things, and these thoughts are nothing more than his own little opinions derived from behind closed doors. After all, there is no real basis. If you really meet an insider, I’m afraid to rip out something. The details of the accounts are enough to fool himself for a while, not to mention that the person facing him is Qin Hui, the number one expert in the Song Dynasty. Of course, he is also unwilling to go to the class.
"Merchants are nothing but profit-seeking people, and they can make the best use of everything in the smallest details, but they can never see the belief. The root of the country is still in the farming mulberry." Qin Xi never quarreled with Goulong Ruyuan again, and pondered slightly: "It's just that although Wang Anshi in this dynasty used the new law to deceive the king, he wanted to use the power of the court to fight for the benefits of the people, attracting endless disputes between the new party and the old party. The new party studies have been abandoned, the merchants may have a lot of wealthy parties, who are sitting on ten thousand dollars, but those who practice the world in the court can only be sages and sages, and the principles of heaven are popular, it is only because of these traffickers. The pawns are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty. They are not without benefit to taxation. Therefore, they have not strictly controlled. The word'foundation' mentioned by Lord Goulong is a bit too alarmist. What's more, What does this have to do with the question mentioned by Master Goulong?!"
