Chapter 701 Qin Hui

How did Jingkang innovate the fiscal and taxation system in the past 16 years?

The fiscal and taxation of the court and the local government were separated and controlled, that is, the tax sharing system in later generations.

1. The court collected the imperial court, such as consumption tax, bank tax, customs tax, commercial tax of state-owned enterprises in the Song Dynasty, urban construction maintenance tax, etc.

Second, local governments can start collecting road tax, land pioneer tax, commercial tax, resource tax, etc. from private trading companies in various places.

Why did Zhao Huan separate the taxes from the court and the local government at this time?

First, the country has an unprecedented scale. Although it has developed rapidly in recent years, it has also seen a large number of policy loopholes. There are too many tax evasions. It is just that Tokyo collects taxes. People from the Ministry of Revenue have to travel around the country and cannot radiate, so many places cannot collect taxes.

The second is to encourage the development of local diversity, rather than being restricted by a set of standards from the capital.

As soon as the new tax policy came out, governments in various places immediately seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.

Finally got some financial power!

Immediately afterwards, the imperial court set highways and railways as key targets for the assessment in the next ten years.

In addition, water conservancy construction in many places in the south is also included in the categories.

The new policy of the 15th year of Jingkang has laid a template for governments in various places, and everyone knows which direction to go.

After that, the imperial court became more relaxed.

Zhao Huan also separated from specific things.

What is he doing?

Plan a larger and larger territory.

In February of the 16th year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan began his unprecedented immigration policy.

From the south and the Central Plains, a million people were transferred to move westward.

Where to go?

Yili!

Yili is in the hinterland of the Qihe River Basin and was later called the Jiangnan outside the Great Wall. It has rich river resources and fertile land. It is also the hinterland of the Asian continent.

After five years of developing Yili, Zhao Huan will eliminate the hidden danger of being too long in the Western Expedition.

In addition, a trade line connecting the Hezhong region was established in Yili to prepare for the complete defeat of the Turks.

Once Ili develops, pushes the westward to the Sailye, opening up the economy of this area and establishing Han cities and military cities. The cavalry of the Song Dynasty can reach the Mediterranean Sea and even reach Jerusalem.

Yili was classified as Gaochang in the administrative region and was under the jurisdiction of Li Guang.

Zhao Huan used a big stroke and allocated 200 million yuan (24 billion yuan) to Hedaolu, and established three railway lines and five highway routes along Xingqing Prefecture in Hedaolu to Gaochang.

In the near future, these transportation routes will be the main artery for the Central Plains to transfusion blood to the Western Regions. Only in this way can the construction of Yili's urban agglomeration show continuous momentum.

Zhao Huan made another big stroke and allocated 300 million yuan (36 billion yuan) to Gaochang.

The main three uses: 1. 100 million guan expands Gaochang City, and within five years, Gaochang's population target is 2 million. 2. 150 million guan builds the Yili urban agglomeration, and within five years, nine cities are built. 3. 50 million guan is still invested in the construction and expansion of Suye City.

As for the military expenditure for the Western Regions, it is calculated separately.

In the first three months of the 16th year of Jingkang, no official in Tokyo had ever had a good night's sleep.

Because the emperor did not sleep well, everyone worked overtime.

The Government Affairs Hall and the Third Department (Ministry of Revenue) have taken out a complete set of construction plans from Hetao, Gaochang to Suiye City, including population transfer, railways, highway construction length and budget.

Everything is written clearly, and just documents are piled up half of the palace.

The Hanlin Academy also reported six times in a row within three months to convey the Central Plains and the South, calling on scholars to join the ranks of the great development of the Western Regions.

In addition, the Hanlin Academy promised to provide preliminary official positions and complete welfare benefits.

The talents accumulated over the fifteen years of the New Deal of the Song Dynasty provided a continuous stream of blood for this advance.

Young people who grew up under the New Deal were full of adventure. They not only looked for routes to the West in major coastal ports, but also continued to go to the Western Regions to find new opportunities for wealth.

I heard that Wang Jun had pushed the front line to the west of Suoye City, and a large number of opportunities appeared in Gaochang area, and more private businessmen and scholars volunteered to go there.

They left their hometown guarded by their ancestors to find a new life.

Never before, there has never been such a large-scale population migration as it is now.

When the Political Affairs Hall and the Ministry of Revenue made plans for the people's livelihood, the Privy Council and the Military Governor's Office also gave strategic combat goals for the Western Regions in the next ten years.

This will be an unprecedented western expedition, involving military strikes, the establishment of economic belts, the circulation of currency, and the spread of culture.

Only the Song Dynasty, which now has extremely high administrative efficiency, can do it.

Throughout March, the court issued several political decrees on the development of the Western Regions.

A prospect for the future is made from the three levels of military, economic and cultural.

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

The war report came from the Western Regions, and the situation of the war changed tremendously. Mulu City was captured by Wu Jie, and the remnants of Yelu Dashi were defeated by Yue Fei.

The shocking news is that Seljuk's Sanjar poured 300,000 troops to advance eastward, intending to take back the lost territory while the Song and Liao army were both defeated.

Because the battlefield was too long, Zhao Huan could not command it, and it was impossible to write a letter to tell Yue Fei how Wu Jie and Han Shizhong fought.

The imperial court can do only two things now: one is to provide a steady stream of food and grass; the other is to immediately digest the territory from Gaochang to Shuye, salvage the foundation, and transport people to the past.

The rest is left to the three coaches.

Around August of the 16th year of Jingkang, another good news came back to Tokyo City: Roujia is back.

Zhao Huan was very happy that his daughter, who had not seen her for several years, suddenly came back.

Roujia has been tanned a little, but has become more tenacious. The weak little girlish aura in the past has been erased by the hardships overseas.

Zhao Huan felt sorry for her and planned to keep her by his side and not let her go overseas in the future. When Li Bao was stationed in Zhuyan for a while, he would also transfer Li Bao back.

Starting from the 16th year of Jingkang, the Song Dynasty entered a peaceful period.

Another thing happened this year: the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Bureau built the first steamship, officially sailed down the sea, entered the Nanyang from Guangzhou, and returned from Nanyang a few months later.

Coincidentally, Qin Hui, the Nanyang Administration, came back from the ship he was on.

After staying in Nanyang for several years, Qin Hui once again set foot on the Chinese mainland, heading north all the way, and was summoned to the palace to meet him.

Just after the first month of the 17th year of Jingkang, Qin Hui was appointed as the Qihe Martial Arts Envoy and went to Suye City to manage the Qihe region.
