Chapter 394: Who can’t spend money randomly?

The handsome Fan Angran left the list and asked: "Is it, or does he say?"

Zhao Xing waved his hand: "The Military Intelligence Bureau established by Yuantuan is mainly aimed at overseas countries. Is it against foreign enemies? Do you tell me the situation in the domestic situation?"

Shuai Fan looked at Yuan Yeping with satisfaction and replied: "The court has no complaints about the adults going overseas for a whole year, but the situation in the country is very bad. I heard that Su Sanzhang (Su Che) was so angry that he was chaotic. The adults were plucking money everywhere overseas, but the court's expenses were still short of money. Su Sanzhang was responsible for clearing the Yellow River. As a result, the funds were always lacking. Su Sanzhang passed away with anger and died."

When Zhao Xing heard that Su Che also died, he was sad. After a long time, he asked in surprise: "I remember that I paid about 100 million yuan this year, and the court's financial income has reached a rare 150 million yuan. Why is it still short of money?"

Shuai Fanyi grinned and said sneered: "How many bottomless pits can fill it?... Today, the emperor advocates Taoism and is superstitious about alchemy. Since he ascended the throne, a large group of Taoist priests who speak nonsense have become guests of honor, and have been awarded immortal titles and official positions, and have become officials of the court. The 26th grade of Taoist priests have been appointed, including various palaces to wait for the palace, school registration, and teaching scriptures, which is equivalent to the court system, compilation, and direct cabinet in the court. Cai Jing also suggested collecting Taoist affairs in the past and present as a sect... Humph, now the Taoist priests are all over the country and are distracted by Taoist priests.

Recently, today, the emperor personally revised the "Taoyuan Etiquette" and asked ten representatives of Taoist priests from different sects to visit and study in the capital. Cai Jing took this opportunity to instruct those Taoist priests to make a fool of themselves and talk nonsense, and to please the likes of Huizong. Lin Lingsu, who is good at being a demon, said that His Majesty was the eldest son of the Jade Emperor, Shenxiao Yuqing, who came to the world, and said that his favorite concubine was the descendant of Concubine An of Jiuhua. His Majesty did not distinguish between authenticity and was happy...

Your Majesty is so luxurious. Since ascending the throne, he has repaired the Chuangjingling Palace, the 11th Yuanfu Palace and the Hall. In the Kyoto Bianliang and the great monasteries and temples across the country... Lord, how much money is enough to make ends meet? If you take all the money from Nanyang, how can you spend enough money on them!"

Zhao Xing was furious, stood up, grabbed a jade bottle on the table, threw it hard on the ground, and cursed: "A Dou, who can't help!"

When Wan Qi Yong heard this, he jumped up immediately. He rushed to the door, looked around, and quietly returned to the house, looking at everyone in the house, and reminded him with a serious expression: "Everyone, you all have to prosper, and you all have to lose. The Taiwei's words should not be promoted to outsiders."

Several people present bowed and replied: "I'll pay attention to it!"

Zhao Xing walked around the room angrily for several circles, turned his face and stared at Wan Qi Yong, and said thoughtfully: "I remember that we have implemented the budget and final accounts system since last year. It's almost the end of the year, so should the budget for next year be released?"

Wan Qiyong was smart and immediately said: "My sir, I mean that the delivery of this year's money-bearing plan will be postponed, and the budget will be submitted first. Then deduct it from the money-bearing plan - deduct it in advance."

Zhao Xing nodded and said viciously: "When it comes to spending money, can that child compete with me. Since it is necessary to spend money, everyone will compare and tell the states to report next year's budget within half a month, and try to ease the budget and plan to build a road. Then report three roads, and those who plan to pay the road construction workers can report three yuan and notify the local area that as long as they dare to report, I will dare to approve it."

Wanqi Yong asked carefully: "How much did the Grand Marshal bring when he comes back this time?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Don't ask, I plan to order another hundred Seawolf-class warships. In addition, the war rewards are quadrupled, and the soldiers will have three months off... In addition, I have also snatched back a lot of books from overseas and planned to set up a state-level library in each state, each library needs at least 500,000 books. You can confirm the land, money and food you need, and quickly transfer it to each state before the winter solstice.

Well, the soldiers on the front line won, so that the people should feel that this victory is closely related to them. They informed all prefectures and counties that the states under their jurisdiction will be exempted from land tax this year. Our Nanyang Affairs Bureau paid the land tax on them with the war."

Wan Qi Yong frowned: "The court..."

Zhao Xing answered without any worries: "For the court, we handed over 500 million yuan in seizures, and I believe the court will not talk nonsense. Well, for the sake of safety, tell the states not to make any statements. If you take advantage of the situation, don't act obediently. Just take the money quietly. Whoever dares to speak nonsense will investigate immediately."

"Five hundred million coins!" Wan Qi Yong opened his mouth wide and didn't speak for a long time. He was so shocked that he didn't notice that his saliva had been flowing for a long time.

"It actually has 500 million coins!" Wan Qi Yong was stunned for a long time, and then he realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly wiped off his drool and said excitedly: "In this way, it may be difficult to allocate the accounts of various states to the point of being clear... I have to think of a solution!"

Zhao Xing continued: "After Su Sanzhang passed away, his disciples should be accepted quickly, as well as Li Chang and Fan E."

Wan Qiyong immediately answered: "This is a small matter. Now, all the official positions under the Nanyang Affairs Bureau are first-class and poor. Others want to come in. As long as we reveal the intention of attracting, we will definitely not be left behind."

Shuai Fan interrupted maliciously: "No one will be left behind. After all this group of people are in our hands, it may be difficult for the rest of the court to understand our accounts."

Wan Qi Yong was very unhappy about this. He glared at Shuai Fan with dissatisfaction and scolded: "Shuai Duru, why do you always speculate on our actions with malicious intentions? Accounting in the Song Dynasty is a prominent science, and no less than 100,000 people have studied it. We have just recruited outstanding people.

We recruit these people, should we stay idle? Look at the map. Our Nanyang Affairs Bureau now has more land than the local area of ​​the Song Dynasty. These accountants sound like a lot, but if you spread them, there is not enough one on each island.

Besides, are the taxes we paid not handed over to the court? These people are in our hands, aren’t they serving the court?”

Shuai Fan lowered his head and admitted sincerely: "I was wrong! I shouldn't have said such sarcastic words... Taiwei, I have been training soldiers behind me for many years, and have trained a batch of soldiers, but I have no chance to visit the battlefield in person. Please give me this opportunity."

Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Yayan (Wanqiyong), do what you should do first. Immediately send Kuaima to the states to send a letter to them and ask them to report their budget for next year as soon as possible. The deadline is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Wanqiyong immediately added: "We can notify the states that detailed reports can be reported later. As long as the listing is completed before the New Year, how about it?"

Zhao Xing echoed, and Wan Qi Yong asked again: "How much does the Grand Marshal plan to let them spend? We must have a rough number."

Zhao Xing asked tentatively: "How about 100 million coins?"

Wan Qi Yong fainted before his eyes. Shuai Fan moved his lips and swallowed the words. Yuan Yeping glanced at Shuai Fan and whispered: "Changmen Palace wants to compete with the official family for money. I have paid 500 million yuan, but I have only spent 100 million yuan, but I can't compare to the official family."

Zhao Xing pretended not to hear it, and turned to Shuai Fan. He asked: "We are fighting now, mostly at sea, and we rarely use the army. You just asked for a war, right?"

Shuai Fan bowed: "The Jurchens recently broke through the Yalu River. The Goryeo Kingdom sent envoys to the court to help the war, and the court pushed them to the Beiyang Affairs Bureau. However, Han Zhongyan had just taken office and had no soldiers or generals. The subordinate wanted the Grand Marshal to tell him. Now that the Guangjie Army and Xuanyi Army have been dressed up, it is better to transfer them to try it."

Zhao Xing was silent for a moment and asked again: "Why did Han Zhongyan be demoted?"

Wan Qiyong immediately replied: "Han Zhongyan is straight-hearted and can't rub the sand in his eyes. He attacked several Taoist priests pretending to be a ghost. Cai Jing caught the handle and was demoted to the governor of Chuzhou before he took office. He was promoted to the Beiyang Affairs Bureau to be promoted."

Zhao Xing continued, "Why did Zeng Bu?"

Wan Qi Yong replied: "Cai Jing and Zeng Bu were not in harmony, so he attacked Zeng Bu's former party with Zhang Dun. The official family was very evil, so he found an opportunity to demote Zeng Bu. However, Zeng Bu was a new party after all, so he served as the Third-rank Hedong Road Strategic Envoy, which was considered a good place to go."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Only the only god is metaphysical. Taoist priests are all charlatans who cheat money under religious religions. Since the court supports Taoism, we should also curb Taoist priests in our territory... Tell An Sida, the head of the Nestorian church. I have opened up the road to the holy city. For this reason, their Nestorians can send people to the Hajj. Borrowing the name of "sponsoring Hajj", I personally donated 10 million yuan. This money allowed him to build free pharmacy bureaus in various places. I asked them to build free pharmacy stations wherever they were built."

Wan Qi Yong chased the goatee on his chin and slowly suggested: "It's better to donate anonymously. Han Zhongyan was demoted from the capital after just saying a few words to the Taoist priests. We can't anger the Taoist priests now. We donate anonymously in the name of a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou. The Taiwei still needs to find a few people from other places and donate some spare money, indicating that this is a donation from all directions and does not matter to the Taiwei's territory."

After a brief pause, Wan Qi Yong said again: "When it comes to demotion, we have another demotionary residence here, waiting for the Taiwei Lord to come back before being exiled. Lord Huang Luzhi wrote a letter and recommended this master very much. Can Taiwei be willing to meet him?"

"Who is this?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Wang Wei, whose courtesy name is Mingsou, was from Rugao, Taizhou (now Rugao, Jiangsu)."

Before Zhao Xing could answer, Shuai Fan had already stood up and asked in surprise: "But Wang Mingsou, who is 'the official is on the water, and the person is in the mirror'?"

When he saw Zhao Xing, Shuai Fan quickly explained: "This old man is stubborn. When he was appointed as the Secretariat in the past, he spoke highly of his fiancée and harmed the integrity of the country. Later, he was demoted due to party struggles and served in Suzhou, Chengdu Prefecture, Yongxing Army and other places. He was the leader of Yongxing Army after the reign of the emperor. After Fan Chuncui took over, he served as the prefect of Kaifeng last year. He took office in April and was dismissed in August. Therefore, he was called "April Jingzhao".

This old man is fair in his work and is a more determined reconciliation faction than Poxian. Because of this reason, he is also disliked by both parties. I heard that he has re-entered the Censorate, so why has he been demoted?"

Wan Qi Yong replied: "It is also because of criticism of Taoist priests!"

Zhao Xing pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Let's meet again."

Seeing this, Wan Qiyong quickly stood up and said, "I'll go down and notify the states to make budgets. Oh, there are a lot of things, I have to do it quickly."

Shuai Fan wanted to say something, Wanqi Yong pulled his sleeves and suggested that he would say goodbye. Shortly after the two walked out of the Blue House, Chen Buqun chased after him proudly and chatted with them. Shuai Fan turned around and couldn't find Yuan Yeping's figure, and he vaguely understood Wanqi Yong's meaning.

In the study room of the Blue House, after everyone left, Zhao Xing pulled open the curtain of a wall and revealed a huge map, which occupied the entire wall. Zhao Xing walked along the wall a few steps and walked to the location of Goryeo. He stopped, looked up at the map, and said thoughtfully: "The current land of Goryeo does not seem to include the Yalu River."

During the Song Dynasty, the northern border line of the Goryeo Kingdom had not yet advanced to the south bank of the Yalu River. At this time, the Yalu River was still an inland river in the Jurchens. Yuan Yeping stepped forward and pointed to the map of Goryeo and replied: "Actually, the people in the middle school did not know the specific situation of the Jurchens. They called this place Jurchens, but in fact, the one next to the Goryeo Kingdom was the Jurchens in the Hosu Pavilion, and the one who invaded Goryeo was the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchens, who lived near Hei Shui."

"Wanyan Aguda", Zhao Xing looked at the map and said slowly: "Wanyan Aguda's army entered the Goryeo Kingdom, which also means that the Jurchens in the Hosu Pavilion have surrendered to the Wanyan Jurchens. This also means that the Jurchens in the Hosu Pavilion have obtained countless skilled craftsmen and trade channels to the mainland from the Hosu Pavilion. The Mizhou navy is a waste, so why did the Wanyan Jurchen easily take it away?"

Yuan Yeping flipped through the file at hand and replied: "We have contacted Lord Huang Luzhi, and he recommended Wang Qinruo to be the leader of our local party. He said that this person is also a subordinate of Ouyang Xiu, and he went out with Su Shi. He also served as the prefect of Kaifeng, and his qualifications are enough."

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered Li Zhiyi's wife Hu. This woman, Hu Wenrou, was very espionage-like. After Su Shi was exiled, someone took a poem by Li Zhiyi and Su Shi to find trouble. Hu sneaked into the other party's mansion and stole the letter, which saved her husband from danger. Later, Zhao Xing pulled her husband to Guangzhou. The matter would be left unresolved. Otherwise, Li Zhiyi would have suffered a literary inquisition similar to the Wutai poem case.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xing joked: "I don't know if the shadow warrior has the skills of Li Zhiyi's wife Hu, who can sneak into someone to steal letters."

Yuan Yeping bowed and replied: "I haven't told you that Li Zhiyi's son unfortunately died of illness, and his wife Hu was too sad and passed away one after another."

Zhao Xing said oh, and after a while, he replied: "There are so many dead acquaintances this year."

Yuan Yeping continued to report: "Su Sanzhang's death has made our party lack a leading figure now. Lord Huang Luzhi blamed him repeatedly, saying that Lord Taiwei should not go overseas and has not returned for many years. He asked me to tell him that he should not leave easily from now on."

Zhao Xing nodded silently and sighed, "That A Dou who can't help me - no matter how much I earn, it doesn't seem to be enough to spend. Yuan Tuan, Nanyang is now quite stable. Within three or five years, we still need to digest this spoil. In the past three or five years, we will turn our attention to the country.

I can't control the prefectures and counties under the imperial court, just take charge of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau. If you discuss with Jin Buer, his Tang Shuji Museum is spread all over Guangdong and Guangxi, and he has also begun to enter Fujian. He has selected some personnel from his Tang Shuji Museum to develop our secret spy system. I hope that every move of the coastal prefectures and counties can't hide it from my eyes."

Yuan Yeping bowed and gestured: "Changmen Palace, with our current manpower, we can control Guangdong, Guangxi and Zhejiang, but Fujian has not yet achieved its strength. However, this is not a problem. Give me some time and I will be able to fulfill your expectations immediately. But is the secret spy we established just for the coastal provinces?"

Zhao Xing hesitated for a while, turned around for several circles, and said with great concern: "The situation now seems to be getting worse and worse. The fastest end I worry about seems irreversible, so I must prepare early - I need you to monitor all the officials in coastal provinces and monitor abnormal movements to ensure their loyalty to me."

Yuan Yeping widened his eyes, shocked beyond words.

At this time, Japan had a very strong sense of loyalty. In their worldview, it was incredible that the following situation was a matter of incredible consequences. It was not until the Warring States Period that the turbulent situation made the following situation a normal situation. What Zhao Xing said just now clearly showed a determination to follow the following situation, which made Yuanyehei very incomprehensible.

"Changmen Palace said that the situation collapsed, how could the situation collapse? Changmen Palace has brought back huge amounts of treasures from overseas. This money is equivalent to the taxes for the Song Dynasty in several years. Seeing that the Song Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, how could the situation collapse? I heard it wrong, right?"

Zhao Xing shook his head gently: "Prosperity can be expected, which is visible to everyone, but what after the prosperity? If this prosperity is based on the state of government credit bankruptcy, how long can it last?"

"How could the government's credit go bankrupt?" Yuan Yeping was incredible.

Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm going to bet on China in the next few years. Now it's November. When the twelfth lunar month comes, you can accompany me around. See the world with your own eyes, and then you can make a decision."

Yuan Yeping was stunned for a long time and stood up in confusion to say goodbye.

Zong Ze followed him in. He bowed and congratulated him with a pity for his words: "Congratulations to the Grand Marshal for his victory in returning to the court."

After saying this, he stood with his hands down, waiting for Zhao Xing to speak. Zhao Xing looked at him curiously for a long time and asked in confusion: "This is over. Is there anything else?"

Zong Ze asked back: "What else does the Grand Marshal want to hear?"

Zhao Xing nodded and muttered, "I thought you were interested in military affairs and might ask me some details of the battle. I was planning to discuss the gains and losses of the war with you. Why did you only say this?"

Zong Ze bowed: "There is also a secretary!"

Zong Ze's words mean that Zhao Xing likes to bring a bunch of staff in war, and he must plan in advance before each war. After the war, he asked these staff to summarize the gains and losses and prepare useful military operations into rituals. Zhao Xing encouraged these clerks to publish memoirs and describe the war. Thanks to the development of the publishing industry in the Song Dynasty, after Zhao Xing fought a war, there were always more than a dozen versions of books on the market, allowing the people to understand the war from all aspects. Zong Ze wanted to know the truth, but only needed to buy a few books afterwards, and all the details were clear.

Zhao Xing had nothing to say about Zong Ze's slutty temper. He smiled and asked, "How is Hangzhou recently?"

Speaking of Hangzhou, Zong Ze said a little more, and he bowed and said, "By thanks to Poxian and the Lord, Hangzhou's water conservancy projects have been very perfect. In recent years, I have only renovated the roads. Now Hangzhou Minfeng and Wufu are rising steadily, and the growth in Dingkou is also satisfactory. I heard that adults still have to set up some new venues in Hangzhou. I wonder what plans are you going to do?"

Zhao Xing returned to his chair, and the maids came to bring incense tea. Zhao Xing waved his hand to ask Zong Ze to drink it, and asked leisurely: "Did you meet Mr. Wanqi when you came in?"

Zong Ze shook his head: "Brother Yayan is busy counting the spoils and giving rewards to the soldiers. He is so busy that he doesn't need to touch the ground. I don't want to disturb him."

Zhao Xing raised his legs and took a sip of tea: "I am back this time. I plan to vigorously renovate the roads in Hangzhou, use the method of dental merchants to hire multiple companies to vigorously build interstate highways near Hangzhou. In addition, there are schools and free pharmacy bureaus. What is the budget for Hangzhou next year?"

Zong Ze looked up at the sky, and thought for a while, and replied: "This is a great virtue. The roads in Hangzhou were well built by the Grand Master in the past, so you can save money in this regard. Hangzhou merchants like to sponsor the Zhouxue Library. Now every Hangzhou Zhouxue Library has a library, which seems to be able to save money in this regard. However, the Medical Bureau is difficult to deal with if you have money."

Zhao Xing laughed: "My Zong Zhizhou, don't save money for me. Hangzhou used to build dirt roads. This time the output of asphalt in the asphalt has increased significantly. We are looking for sales everywhere. We simply replaced the interstate highway with asphalt roads.

As for doctors, you don’t have to worry about this. I captured thousands of doctors from Seljuk. These prisoners of war are preparing for auction. Those rich people bought them and only saw one disease. Where is it enough? I would encourage them to open a clinic and allow them to operate the clinic as a business. The proceeds from the auction are set up several state-level free pharmacy bureaus. All the people in Hangzhou can get free pharmacy. How much does it cost?"

Zong Ze thought about it and stretched out three fingers hesitantly. After a while, he carefully took back one finger and then extended his finger in front of Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing readily agreed: "Two million coins, I will give you a copy of it. If you go back, you will submit a detailed directory."

Zong Ze opened his mouth for a long time and answered honestly: "I originally wanted to say 200,000 yuan."

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and replied: "Tell you a brief moment. This time we brought back Persian silver coins worth 500 million knots, and in addition, gold medals, gold tins, pearls, gems, and ivory. The total value is about one billion knots. I have handed over 80 million knots to the court in advance, and immediately put the money outline to transport 200 million knots away. The remaining spoils will be auctioned in Hangzhou one after another, and then gradually handed over to the court. Yayan is in charge of this matter.
Chapter completed!
