As a person who has been in a company in later generations, how could Zhao Huan not know the stimulating effect of money?

The salary increase will definitely increase, but it cannot be too harsh at once, otherwise he will shoot himself in the foot and send himself to the grave. The reason why he has to raise it to five stakes is to try different ways to force Xu Churen to spend more money. In the end, it will definitely not be five stakes, and at most two stakes.

Of course, he also thought about doing so-called performance appraisal in the private caravan recruited by the Ministry of Commerce. More and more capable people will gain. This is a truth that has not changed since ancient times.

In fact, due to the war between the Jin army southward, many people died, and many fertile land lost their original owners. The vacant ones have now been incorporated into the court and are sold together with Jingdong Road and Jingxi Road.

Zhao Huan has no time to think about how to reward civil servants, and this question must be left to Seo Churen.

He gave Xu Churen a few key points: the income of civil servants cannot be lower than that of Erguan. This is the bottom line. If you don’t have money to find a way to make money, isn’t Tang Ke’s art and art bureau going to open?

Xu Churen felt so painful that he had to go back and calculate how much it would cost to invest according to the emperor's wishes. Fortifications of this scale would become a bottomless pit if they were accidentally killed. Then he would not know how he died.

Thinking of this, Xu Churen felt more and more that the progress of Jiaozi was going to be ahead of schedule.

When Xu Churen thought about these problems, the emperor's thinking began to jump again. He looked at the planning maps of Youzhou, Yunzhou and Jizhou, looked at the maps in the north, and opened the maps of the entire China region.

Zhao Huan walked back and forth on the map, and the prime ministers didn't know what the emperor was thinking about again.

As the general planner of the empire, Zhao Huan's mind could not stop. He changed his blood to the Central Plains. The new policy taxes and corvee were implemented. The implementation of Hebei and Hedong Road was relatively smooth, and the same was true for the Yanyun area.

The planning proposals for the four major accompanying capitals have also taken shape, but the food problem is becoming increasingly prominent.

Zhao Huan's national plan is obviously a bit similar to the rise of the country policy in later generations. He first poured the limited resources in his hands into several cities with special geographical locations to develop the first batch of large-scale cities.

In this way, not only can we set a benchmark, but we can also radiate to surrounding areas through the cities that have developed first.

However, the problem of eating must be solved, and the food supply in big cities must keep up, otherwise it will cause the food price to soar.

The problem of food supply in big cities is not just about the total amount of food. As the Zhou Dynasty said, the grain in Tokyo is basically transported from all over the country, with water and land, and the transportation cost is actually very high.

Transportation costs are not just about manpower, but also about time costs. Over time, food is delayed on the road for a long time, and accidents may occur. Even if there is no accident and is not circulated immediately, the value generated within a unit of time will be lower. This is the most basic business logic.

In this way, to develop large-scale cities, not only to immigrate to build cities, but also to open up land and farm, but also to improve the most basic transportation facilities.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan suddenly asked: "Have the official's salary standard rectification proposal been completed?"

Xu Churen and Zhou Chao were slightly stunned. Why did they suddenly get the salary of officials from the price of grain and the monthly salary of the civilians? Emperor, can you jump a little more?

Seo Chu-in quickly replied: "A first case has been made."

"Take it to me."

Zhao Huan ordered someone to go to the Zhengshi Hall to get the salary proposal for the Song Dynasty officials drafted by the Zhengshi Hall. Zhao Huanfei took a quick look and felt very dissatisfied.

Not only did he not reduce much, but all kinds of benefits are still there. It seems that he, the emperor, really needs to be allowed to promote this matter personally. Now the court wants to carry out fortifications, and all aspects have to spend money. Even the emperor, he, must start to be simple, and money must not be thrown into officials like this.

To reduce, it must reduce!

Otherwise, where did I get the money to build roads? Where did I get the money to supply the front line? Where did I get the money to expand the city? Where did I get the money to build ships? What should I use to ensure the safety of shipping if I don’t have the money to build ships?

Even if a bank issues Jiaozi, the money cannot be printed randomly, otherwise the inflation will continue and people's livelihood will still collapse.

Seeing the emperor's brows getting tighter and tighter, Xu Churen felt that if he would not give up if he would no longer cut half of this proposal today.

Sure enough, Zhao Huan said rudely: "Don't think too much, time is the most important thing. First, reduce all the officials by half, cancel all other benefits, silk, and charcoal, and buy them yourself. The court needs to use more money. Everyone should save money first and wait until the Song Dynasty becomes rich."

Zhao Huan looked like he was a stingy boss, and the prime ministers really couldn't do anything about him for a while. After all, everyone is under a lot of pressure now, and money cannot be spent indiscriminately, otherwise the task will not be completed by then. Not to mention this salary, it is a problem whether the position can be maintained.

According to the emperor's plan, the imperial court may have to spend much money in the future, so the little money that the house is confiscated is also called money? The land seller is considerable, but what if it cannot afford to spend it?

Especially there is a wealth-guarding mistress named Zhou Dynasty here, who locked the money tightly. Other officials must have a fight with him first if they ask for money.

After reducing the salaries of officials in one-size-fits-all manner, Zhao Huan said again: "How is the art and art bureau of the Ministry of Commerce? It's already September."

Tang Ke hurriedly said, "Report to Your Majesty, the business will be opened in five days."

"Okay, I will join you in your auction then."

"Your Majesty is the Lord of the Nine Five..."

"I want to see how you make money. I want money now." After Zhao Huan said that, he said to Xu Churen again, "Xu Qing, come and take a look here."

Zhao Huan pointed at the Song Dynasty map with his finger: "If I want to open the main road from Kaifeng to the Four Capitals, I must open it to reduce the consumption of grain transport and act together with the construction of the deputy capital."

"This... obey the order!"

After saying that, the emperor concluded: "This year and next year, I do not require you to make money for the court. As long as you can settle the accounts, remember, Xu Churen and Tang Ke, the commercial tax has been raised, the land has also begun to be sold, the Ministry of Commerce has also started to sell goods, and the families of corrupt officials have also begun to be confiscated, but the court cannot hold on to the money, and must use it, so that the people can obtain wealth through labor. This is what I told you that not only needs wealth in the country, but also wealth in the people!"

"I will follow Your Majesty's teachings!"

After discussing with the ministers, Zhao Huan calmed down in the palace, read and wrote every day, and enjoyed the autumn sunshine.

There was no environmental pollution in ancient times, the sky was blue, and the autumn wind was filled with the fragrance of plants and trees. The emperor rarely rested in such a leisurely manner for a few days.

The day before the opening of the Art and Art Bureau, Qin Hui ran over and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the cement you want has been developed according to your formula."
