"Money..." Wang Ming sighed.

It was not Wang Ming who turned to Zhao Pu, he was a centrist. Song Jiu said that it was difficult to choose Privy Councilors and that they were both civil and military. Zhao Kuangyi felt it was difficult, so he asked who else could be Privy Councilors. Song Jiu immediately said Wang Ming.

Zhao Kuangyi was silent.

For various reasons, Zhao Kuangyi trusted Cao Bin very much, but he couldn't tell if there was no comparison. Once there was a comparison, Song Jiu was many times stronger than Cao Bin.

However, Song Jiu proposed this series of plans, which would cost astronomical figures, so Wang Ming complained.

Song Jiu took out something and said, "You can take a look."

It is a financial statement.

In the past, Song Jiu told the Pan brothers that there would be many good things in Hezhou in the future. In recent years, some gadgets have been invented, but they are not what Song Jiu refers to. Song Jiu refers to new textile machinery.

However, Song Jiu withdrew and the national finances were also relatively tight, because the new workshop became completely state-owned, just outside Dongshuimen, but in Hebei. Song Jiu had some spoofs, so he took a Kaifeng weaving for it.

Jiangnan weaving, changed the address before.

Of course, wool was acquired by merchants. After all, it needs to be more flexible. The country will be rigid when it comes to management, and the country will enter, but that will be related to policies. For example, in the future, the court will send special people to the northwest to go deeper and stop divination. However, after the purchase, it will be handed over to weaving and weaving into wool fabric. It will start to make profits, and it will increase, until it is all-out. This is the profit brought by technological monopoly.

Song Jiu is in his hands with Kaifeng Weaving’s financial statements last month.

It’s not that Song Jiu wants to show his merits, and he just pretends that there is no extra wealth. Is there no such things above? Is the country no longer operating?

Wang Ming sighed and Song Jiu counted the report. Wang Ming didn't know its income? But after spending it, the finances of the three departments would be tight again.

...

Outside Xiazhou City, there was snow everywhere, but at this time there were countless corpses lying on the wilderness, and plum blossoms bloomed in the snowy wilderness.

Further away, Li Jiqian was like a wounded wild wolf running away in a mess.

When officials of the Song Dynasty came, they were about to collect taxes. Taxation also represents a symbol of the court's ability to have a certain area.

Cao Guangshi certainly did not impose heavy taxes, but now the Song Dynasty suddenly entered directly, and it was difficult to be confused. Therefore, it was obviously light taxes but poorly collected. However, when we went to various places, some taxes were very heavy. In the past, the Li family in Tuoba also imposed taxes, which were not necessarily lighter than those in the Song Dynasty.

However, in the hearts of all tribes, it is natural for the Li family to collect taxes, and the Song Dynasty was a bastard...

Therefore, some tribes are not satisfied.

Li Jiqian thought the opportunity had come, so he counterattacked Xiazhou. However, as soon as the army arrived at the city of Xiazhou, he was defeated by Cao Guangshi in the blink of an eye. Nearly half of his troops were broken here and fled back to the desert.

However, the weather was very cold at this time and the northwest was even colder. Cao Guangshi had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the city.

At this time, he received an edict from the court.

Previously, the imperial court appointed Li Jipeng as the governor of Zhangde to the capital. Then he ordered Li Kexian, the governor of Suizhou, and Li Kewen, the governor of Yinzhou, to join the capital and was appointed as the governor of Shanzhou, and the governor of Lizhou. Li Kexian was not ordered at the beginning. Yuan Jizhong persuaded him, so he came to the capital with Li Kewen.

The reason for doing this is that the court wants to strengthen Xiazhou's control step by step.

Because of Song Jiu's persuasion, all the strategies formulated by the court changed.

You can't be so anxious for the time being. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

He still asked Li Kewen to return to Xiazhou, not only did Li Kewen to return to Xiazhou, but also asked the four prefectures of Dingnan to select ten representatives to participate in government affairs with Han officials and handle ethnic disputes. He could even write to the court directly to impeach Han officials' tyranny and illegal corruption and theft, and also enjoy the salary of a real magistrate.

This article was strongly opposed by Zhao Pu at first.

But then Song Jiu said: "If you have no power and no money, it is difficult to be loyal to the heart. If you have less power and no profit, it is difficult to be loyal to the court. Only when the court gives up some money and releases some rights will they be loyal to the court. Don't ignore the country because of hatred of me."

You have bad intentions.

Zhao Pu was so angry that he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

In fact, the so-called representative system has long been realized in the Hezhou industry. Once successful, ten representatives mean ten powerful forces, and they will follow the court. Moreover, this is a new institutional model, that is, the pseudo-parliamentary system.

This is the beginning. Once more than ten years have passed, the eight prefectures will be settled, and the court can withdraw these rights at any time with this true Qiang and Han co-governance model.

So Zhao Kuangyi thought about it and agreed. After all, the focus of the country is Yan Yun, so don’t let the Northwest drag its back at this time.

The second article is to pardon all taxes related to the two taxes, but commercial taxes must be held in your hands.

It is impossible not to impose taxes, but it is difficult to implement fairly in the determination. There may be a lot of taxes. There are not many taxes below and above, so it is exempted from not imposing taxes. After the wool trade route is opened, commercial development gradually becomes more developed, so it is better to concentrate on operating commercial taxes.

There will be losses, but there is no way. Who makes the people think only about the benefits of the Li family, not the Song Dynasty?

The third article is to grant a void position. Like the Song Dynasty in the southern barbarian area, as long as it is the leader of a tribe, even if there are only a few hundred people under its jurisdiction, it will be given a void position as a governor. Everyone will be on par with equal terms, and all ethnic groups will further divide.

The fourth article is to take out 100,000 kilograms of tea and 50,000 pieces of silk and reward them to the leaders of various large and medium-sized tribes to buy peace.

Article 5 is to send people to guide local people to raise cattle and sheep in captivity. Kill cattle and sheep to get leather, kill chickens to get eggs, and raise sheep to get wool to raise chickens to make eggs. It is difficult for the Eight Prefectures to be too poor, either green salt, or what else? Cattle, horses and sheep, because many areas have begun to become deserts and Gobi, and can no longer use Nanhetao as the most important pastoral area like the Tang Dynasty. Then this kind of farm-based operation, planting forage grass, and raising cattle and sheep in captivity will achieve greater economic benefits.

As people are endless, they don’t want to be robbers anymore. Even if the leaders want to, the people will not want to. And once they settle down, it will be beneficial to the management of the court.

Therefore, people were sent to guide the development of farms, including site selection, planting and breeding, and providing them with farm tools. However, instead of forcing them, Cao Guangshi gathered the leaders of various tribes and persuaded them. The willing sent people to support them, while the unwilling allowed them to let them go, so as to cause misunderstandings, which instead aroused civil unrest.

These five are the kind side.

There is also a powerful side and a defensive side.

The imperial court will increase the number of officials stationed in the 30th battalion to come to Xiazhou.

Several roads were built, the first one was from Taiyuan to Prefecture and Fengzhou. This one was related to the wool trade route. If the Khitan invaded, the court could also send officials to support it in time.

The second is Xiazhou along the Wuding River to the ancient Great Wall, then to Mingtang River, Tumao River, and Quye River to Xingxiu avenue in Fuzhou. It is on the west side of Fulin and the north side of Yinzhou, and then builds fifteen forts and divides troops to garrison.

Once successful, all the areas with the most abundant water and grass will be surrounded by the fort behind this fort. The court will not ask about it on the northwest side, and there will be pastoral areas, but they will all be semi-Gobi. If Li Jiqian is happy, he will go there.

The third road starts from Xiazhou, to Youzhou, and then to Yanzhou Beize Ancient Great Wall, and to Lingzhou. If possible, build the ancient Great Wall. It not only prevents Li Jiqian from expanding his sphere of influence to the Yinchuan Plain in the future, but also prevents the invasion of Khitan West Road. Fifteen fortresses will still be built on this road.

The fourth article is not related to the wool trade route, but to build five fortresses from Helan Mountain to the Yellow River, and to Lingzhou at any time.

The fifth road is relatively scattered, from Shizhou to Suizhou, from Yanzhou to Suizhou, from Suizhou to Xiazhou, from Suizhou to Yinzhou. From Yanzhou to Security, from Security to Xiazhou, from Security to Yuzhou, from Security to Yanzhou, from Huanzhou to Yanzhou, from Huanzhou to Lingzhou.

Twenty-five forts will be built here, all of which will be built on the Hengshan main road, and Hengshan will be controlled before the rise of Xixia.

In fact, there are roads here, but many of them are paths that are forced to be broadened with gunpowder.

There are two types of forts. One is a military-specific fortress. It does not open the door to the outside world, but only allows people to pass through related commercial taxes. The other is a military-civilian dual-purpose fortress. It is slightly larger in scale, divided into two cities, and supplies and food storage weapons are released in the inner city, but not open to the outside world. Houses, inns, and business travelers are provided for rest in the outer city.

At the same time, part of the land outside the fortress was designated for military farming, reducing the supply of the court and allowing it to be self-sufficient. In some more loyal areas, some small pastures were developed, semi-herding and semi-captive, and war horses were raised, and cavalry were trained to prepare for the future attack on the Khitan.

Secondly, it is strictly prohibited to rebel from all tribes. Those who are loyal to the court will have some rewards every year, and will also enjoy various treatments from the court, and even support them to participate in the wool trade route to make profits. But those who are not loyal to the court will have nothing. Once they identify the rebel tribes, they will not only prepare for expedition and suppression, but also explicitly ordered merchants not to trade with them, otherwise they will be punished for crimes of treason.

Cao Guangshi smiled bitterly, what is this little Song Jiu doing? Is it worth it?

In fact, Song Jiu's plan was even larger, not fifty-five fortresses, but eighty fortresses, and the officers and soldiers stationed in the 50th battalion were added. At the same time, the construction was not the current three years, but a year. The court used millions of money and silk to ship 50,000 people in Shaanxi, and built these forts and roads in one year.

There were even enlisting the two kings of Zhe to cooperate with the court to wipe out Li Jiqian.

He paid another 10,000 taels of silver, 10,000 pieces of silk, and 20,000 kilograms of tea to reward Li Jiqian's head.

Is there many?

Not much at all. In the future, the imperial court would pay a huge price for the northwest. Even the forts opened on the border were unknown, and the money and silk used were even more unknown.

A portion of the green salt will be opened openly and the green salt will be circulated in the area north of the three prefectures of Binfang and Dan, so that all ethnic groups in the northwest can further profit.

But Zhao Kuangyi rejected it.

Song Jiu had no choice. Now that he couldn't see what was behind, anyone felt that Song Jiu was making a big deal. If he had no careful investigation and found out the reason, and there was a wool trade route, he might not even agree to the edict in Cao Guangshi's hand.

In addition to this edict, there is also Song Jiu's letter, so that Cao Guang must implement it and do not relax.
