"Let more arable land be provided, allow more refugees to obtain land, and turn them from being burdened by the state into people who can support themselves. If this problem is solved alone, my husband's achievements will be as great as Mount Tai."

"Increase investment per unit of land, advocate intensive farming, and make the yield per unit area of ​​​​intensive farming on small plots far exceed that of extensive farming on large areas. If we do this well, we can enable the vast number of lower-class farmers to move away from the pressure on them.

The boulder overhead."

"The key to governing is to allow more people to become producers, taxpayers, and people who can contribute to the country."

"Officials must be guided to expand the resources under their jurisdiction instead of blindly plundering and squeezing limited resources. Otherwise, there will always be a day when the oil is exhausted."

"The new law has been implemented for the fifth year, and the court has accumulated a certain amount of experience. It's time to take a breather."

"Mr. Gong, all laws are new laws when they are first born, and they are all born in response to the current situation."

"But why did they become old laws, bad laws, and finally made my husband despise them, thinking that these laws were too old-fashioned and harmed the country and the people?"

"Because it forgot to adjust."

"There have been some problems with young crops, exemption from military service, Baojia, and market changes, so why can't supplementary regulations be issued to amend them?"

""The Great Learning" says: Gou is new every day, new every day, and new again every day. When Xianggong implemented the new law, he also said that there is no law that will last forever."

"Since my husband could clearly see this problem when he boycotted the old law, why did it become the new old party when I took charge?"

"If my husband wants specific suggestions, my suggestions are as follows:"

"The first thing that needs to be changed is the way in which officials' performance is assessed. The Green Crops Law no longer uses the issuance of youth crop loans and interest collection as the standard. Instead, it uses the number of local unemployed households and propertyless households reduced due to young crops as the criterion.

The amount of food available per person in the house is the standard."

"The Exemption Law is strictly based on the average number of service fees in the past ten years, and the average payment per household is calculated according to the household class, and the average payment standard for each household is calculated. If it exceeds this line, not only will there be no political achievements, but there will also be severe prosecution.

He is responsible for the crime of abusing the people."

"On this basis, we can talk about weight assessment. That is to say, the increase in local income must come from the improvement of the quality of life of the people in the jurisdiction, from the real reduction of lower-class households, and the real increase of upper-class households."

"In order to prevent officials from deceiving superiors and subordinates, and taking advantage of others by taking advantage of their names, Zhongshu should join forces with the Academy of Sciences and Taixue to expand the circulation of Dibao."

"The important decisions of the imperial court, taxation standards, and service regulations can be delegated to schools in various places. Poems, scripture annotations, stories and news can also be used to enrich the content and increase readability, and can be sent down to the township school level so that the common people can

Understand what the real system is like.”

"In the Baojia Law, school inspections are centralized at the county level, with inspections from all directions to avoid the pain of traveling long distances. School inspections are carried out at the state level, and the state chief official goes down to the county to proactively inspect, and no more visits are required."

"If there are those who are truly capable, they will be sent to superiors for verification, and they will be selected at all levels to enrich the army. If they are used indiscriminately, they will be jointly and severally held responsible."

"Baojia is mainly responsible for the security of a township on weekdays. It is a private autonomous organization and cannot go out to the county to enforce law."

"If there are bandits or rebellions, local officials can call them in. No harassment is allowed on weekdays."

"Don't use clever names to use Baoding as a husband's servant in front of the Yamen."

"The city changed the law. Branches are subject to two taxes. For large quantities of commercial goods, the court prints tax stamps and issues them after the tax is paid. They can be transported to the prefectures and counties."

"Those who have tax stamps are not allowed to leave them in places along the way. After entering the market, pay the tax, and the tax official in the city will stamp it again, and you can sell it at will."

"Municipality can participate as a business entity, but its management rights must be stripped off and returned to the Transshipment Department."

"If Mr. Xiang still wants to stay in Yiwu for market management, then he can no longer be allowed to engage in business activities."

"The credit business can be handed over to Huangsong Bank, and the trading business can be handed over to the market guild."

"In this way, the Municipal Yisi will become a new yamen, whose responsibilities are to be responsible for the supervision and management of the market and the enforcement of regulations; to be responsible for the management of business activities of various merchant guilds, registering and supervising them; to standardize and maintain various

The operating order of the market; combating guild hoarding, price gouging and other illegal activities."

"In addition, they are also responsible for supervising the quality of merchants' goods, accepting reports and complaints, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of buyers and sellers."

"We must also investigate and deal with illegal activities such as unfair competition, bribery of officials, smuggling and trafficking."

"Mr. Sir, my opinion is whether I prefer the City Yi Division or keep it. After all, commercial taxes now account for a large part of the taxes in the Song Dynasty. The operations of merchants must be effectively managed."

"However, the powers of the City and Economic Affairs Department must be adjusted to strictly separate administrative law enforcement and business operations."

"If the seven million guans collected cannot be arranged, we can use the opportunity to adjust the power of the trade director to build several professional wholesale markets outside Bianjing, such as livestock markets, cloth markets, grain, sugar and wine markets.

Fruit and vegetable market, aquatic products and seafood market, medicinal materials market, and production materials market.”

"And in the city, we will build a number of small markets like Wanhuoji."

"Then we will recruit merchants to settle in, which will facilitate the supervision of trade and also provide convenience to citizens."

"Your Majesty's money for sealing the piles will be supplemented by the rents from these markets. As for the small businessmen and vendors who carry soup bottles and sell cooking cakes, life is not easy, so let them go."

"In a word, both merchants and farmers must grasp the big ones and let go the small ones. Big merchants and big land owners must be strictly managed, and small farmers and small merchants must be strongly supported."

"The taxes they can pay only account for 20% of all taxes in the Song Dynasty, but their population accounts for 80% of the Song Dynasty, and they consume 50% of the manpower of subordinate officials in the Song Dynasty."

"I think it would be better to let them go gently and free up manpower to manage the 20% of households that can pay 80% of the tax. This will save a lot of management costs."

Wang Anshi hesitated: "How does Mingrun know about those markets, so that merchants are willing to enter and pay rent willingly?"

Su You smiled like a thief: "If my husband is worried, then I will encourage the merchants in Shuzhong to unite with the merchants from the two Zhejiang provinces and move in early! How about helping my husband succeed?"

…

In the Qingtang Dynasty, in the valley outside Hezhou, Wang Shao and Li Xian were marching.

A few days ago, Li Xian captured a group of Xixia people named Li Hong who escaped from Lanzhou.

Then he was arrested and tortured, and he turned out to be a technical expert among the Xixia people. He was good at making crossbows and was called the Divine Arm Bow!

Li Hong first presented the divine arm bow to Jialiang, but now Xixia has secretly restarted the Iron Kite plan, so it cannot be reused.

Jia Liang even secretly suggested to Liang Yi that it would be better to force Li Hong to the Song people.

Liang Yimi felt that it made sense, as Li Hong was not the only master crossbow craftsman in Xixia, so he arrested Li Hong on the pretext that he was a traitor to the party.

After Li Wenzhao, who was working within the Xixia rebel party, found out the news, he believed that Li Hong was the talent they urgently needed, and rescued Li Hong and his relatives, sacrificing many comrades along the way before sending them to Qingtang.

As a result, people from all walks of life in the Qing and Tang Dynasties were dancing wildly, and Li Hong and his party were caught by Li Xian before they reached Tiandu Mountain.

Li Xian is a member of the Divine Mechanics Class. When he came to Shaanxi, he couldn't bring his own artillery team and firearms. He was already angry. When he learned about Li Hongshan's crossbow, he thought that the boy was worthless except for the reward for his head, so he planned to kill him.

Son.

Just when he was about to operate, Wang Shao played a good show of running for hundreds of miles and shouting to save people under the knife. He rescued Li Hong and sent him to the bow and arrow workshop on Qinfeng Road. Li Hong was grateful and made the Divine Arm Bow.

Dharma was dedicated to the Song Dynasty.

The Divine Arm Bow is actually a kind of crossbow, similar to the first-generation crane-shank crossbow without pulleys. Although it is the pinnacle of individual long-range weapons in the cold weapon era except the camel crossbow, it is different from the second-generation crane-shank crossbow.

Compared with crossbows, there is still a generational difference.

However, all the steel materials used in the arms of the Heshan Crossbow came from the ferry in the south of Xizhou. At present, the steel materials from other states and counties in the Song Dynasty cannot be replaced for the time being.

For Wang Shao, he couldn't afford the crane-shank crossbow, so Li Hong's arrival was just right.

What he has to deal with now is Qing Tang, not Xia Kingdom.

The Xixia people are not stupid either. This hand is actually a replica of Su You's plan. With armor that is not afraid of even crane-shin crossbows, they began to provide crossbow talents to the Song Dynasty, hoping to lead the development of weapons in the Song Dynasty.
