Chapter 630 The urbanization of the Song Dynasty was too fast
"At the lecture of the Seminar, Mr. Deng once said Mr. Xu Jiang's famous saying: If you share the same benefits with others, you will benefit the good people; if you do not share the same benefits with others, you will benefit the bad people."
"This is a way to benefit the country and the people, and to revive the country!"
Of course, Zhao Xu had already thought about how to deal with the current affairs.
To be precise, how should we fool the people in the world willingly pay to take over the market?
He has prepared the theoretical foundation.
"When Sima Xianggong was there, he once said: The problem today is that the government has gained too much, and the people have gained too little!"
"He even cried and advised him again and again at the time of his death!"
Don't ask!
The question is Li Wei's thoughts and Sima Guang's opinions.
If Wang Anshi hadn't been alive, Zhao Xu would have to carry out the Duke of Jing.
Speaking of Wang Anshi, in more than a month, this Duke of Jing will celebrate his 65th birthday.
According to the custom, the two palaces will send envoys to send gifts to congratulate them.
So, the palace is now preparing a gift to him.
Zhao Xu also prepared a gift for him.
I hope Wang Anshi will not be ungrateful and it is best to accept it obediently.
After observing the expressions of the two palaces, Zhao Xu continued, "I was young and I didn't know the true meaning of this before!"
"Until this time, the officials in Lingjin Courtyard were in a mess, colluding with good people, and be mean to the upper and lower levels, and then they knew what it meant: if they don't benefit the others, they will benefit the bad people!"
"I just realized what Sima Xianggong said, the government has obtained too much!"
"The queen mother, mother, should have also seen the case of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Revenue reported by the Ministry of Revenue, is it a malfunction?"
The two palaces nodded.
This matter is a big deal.
The Imperial Academy was infuriated by the indignation of the civil service group inside and outside the government, both the new and old parties, regardless of their ideology, were violently whipped at this.
Therefore, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Revenue all put in their energy.
The newly appointed young minister of Dali Temple, Du Chun, also went to Cai Jing to study and learn from the scriptures.
In Dali Temple, a "Sages of the Sutra" was also created.
In this cold season of late autumn, I specially chose to choose the windy morning and the weather was cold, and all the people in Lingjinyuan were driven to the Bian River that the Dali Temple Yamen specially chose for them.
Let them wear only single clothes, blow the cold wind, recite the rituals, and write articles dictated.
After Du Chun did this, how could the spoiled yamen in Lingjinyuan hold on?
In addition, Zhao Xu also returned the stolen money as long as they explained the problem.
So, each of them poured beans like bamboo tubes, explaining the problem clearly.
In just two days, the matter inside the Lingjinyuan was investigated.
"The killing talents in Lingjinyuan are indeed too much." Xiang Dunn said: "Everyone from the Escort Province says that these villains have failed the emperor's grace and their crimes are unforgivable."
This is what the eunuch is cutting.
Zhao Xu nodded: "This villain has indeed failed Huangkao and my expectations."
What the guys in Ayanojinyuan do is not complicated at all.
It is nothing more than using ordinary means of using inferior products as good products and taking advantage of others.
The weavers dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and did not dare to resist at all, so they could only let them squeeze them out.
And they can squeeze out tens of thousands of stagnant silk from weavers in a year.
To be honest, did the Zhao officials in all dynasties know these things?
Probably known.
Just don't know the details.
At least, in Zhao Xu's previous life, he had heard of some internal problems within the Ministry of Commerce.
And Zhao Xu smiled at that time.
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!
The people below worked hard to serve me, and it is normal for them to be greedy.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish!
Moreover, to be honest, indulging in the handicraft industry and suppressing merchants was in line with the emperor's needs for rule.
Because, if it were a small workshop owner, the handicrafts and small merchants would live a better life.
It will trigger a siphon effect.
Let a large number of rural thalaspora enter the city to make a living.
The influx of these people will inevitably bring about a large number of social problems and increase the cost of ruling.
But the urbanization of the Song Dynasty was unprecedented in all dynasties.
As early as the third year of Yuanfeng, the city-states and counties in the Song Dynasty had exceeded 2 million households (Li Qingchen mentioned this data in the third year of Yuanfeng). In the tenth year of Xining, the Ministry of Revenue calculated that the household registration in the world was 16.8 million households.
This does not include the imperial guards, the wing army and their families, as well as miners scattered in various places, fishermen on the beach, merchants on boats, and boatmen on canals.
If you were a feudal emperor, you would have a war with two people when you saw these data.
Naturally, subconsciously restrict and suppress.
The exploitation of the officials, the exploitation of the powerful, and the restrictions of the government.
All of them are what the Zhao family are happy to see.
It can even be said to be encouraged.
But, the Zhao official family is no longer free from the economic benefits created by the city and village households.
In the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the Ministry of Revenue counted the income contributed by the city and the country to the country.
The income of the office business in the Zhushi alone reached 5.05 million guan, and there were more than 990,000 pieces of cloth (continued the long story of Zizhi Tongjian in the seventh year of Yuanfeng) (In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the market and the embankment department were dismissed, and the income in this regard dropped sharply, with only more than 3 million guan).
In terms of commercial tax, this number is more than 8 million guan.
In addition, the city households also have to pay exemptions for transportation, which is another million.
The urban households in the Song Dynasty accounted for one-eighth of the world's population and contributed more than 30% of the taxes.
And its proportion of GDP may be close to forty percent.
Therefore, the future generations looked at the Northern Song Dynasty and felt awkward.
On the one hand, industry and commerce are developing rapidly, and urbanization is advancing by leaps and bounds.
On the one hand, the government-owned monopoly on the official economy is popular, and the Zhao official family has to take care of everything and wants to get involved in everything.
One of the sources of the problem of redundant staff, one of the three redundant staff, is here.
So the Northern Song Dynasty looked like a schizophrenia, with the brain and cerebellum fighting each other, and the buttocks and heads sat on one side.
However, as long as it is substituted for the autocratic poisonous vegetable thinking of feudal emperors, all this seems reasonable.
In addition, Confucianism is not ready for this aspect at all now.
Under the guidance of the thousand-year-old agricultural philosophy, everyone is confused when facing the new social situation.
Wang Anshi of the new party, Sima Guang of the old party, and Lu Gongzhu of the old party, all considered how to solve this problem.
But they all float on the surface and fail to see the real reason for the problem.
At the same time, they are all busy with party struggles and have no time to deal with and study this issue.
Fortunately, they were busy with party struggles and did not really look at them.
Otherwise, they will find that something that can devour everything is hidden in this drastic social change, and in more and more city and village households in the world.
Zhao Xu studied in modern times for ten years and has seen Chinese and foreign history.
Naturally, I knew that this thing could not only make the Song Dynasty prosperous and the country prosperous.
At the same time, if one is not good, it can also make him or his descendants confused.
But...it just happened that there was only this only way to survive!
Other roads are dead ends!
So, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only walk on the ground.
