Chapter 490: Grab it without money

The financial revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty was actually very rich. Taking Xining as an example for ten years, the income was 57 million yuan, stone, horse, and two (consistently money, stone is food, horse is cloth, and two is silver ), If you give Chongzhen these incomes, I am afraid that you can be happy to die, you still need to worry.
But the Northern Song's fiscal expenditures are also high. These expenditures are mainly divided into military expenditures, government expenditures, annual currency expenditures, farmland water conservancy expenditures, royal expenditures, and other expenditures.
The first is military expenditure. Military expenditure is usually divided into military support and equipment costs. There are Khitan in the north of the Song Dynasty and party items in the northwest. They have to gather heavy troops in Hebei and Shaanxi. Of course, this has alleviated the threat of rebellion by the refugees, and it has made the number of soldiers in Song Dynasty more and more.
It costs money to raise soldiers, and it also costs money to buy them equipment. If the border is at war, then the expenditure will be even greater. During the Taiping period, Song ’s military expenses accounted for half of the financial expenditure. I went straight to Qicheng.
Then there is the salaries of officials. The large number of officials of the Song Dynasty and the good treatment are notorious. The annual expenditure of Song Song in this respect is about 3 million yuan.
Seen this way, the spending of the year-old coins is not much. Today, there are only two hundred twenty two silver and three hundred thousand silks every year, but the money is too stifling.
Farmland water conservancy expenditure varies from year to year. Because Kaifeng was built on the side of the Yellow River, the Yellow River water conservancy has become the focus of the court, and it will often spend tens of millions of dollars on it, plus the water conservancy expenditures in other places. More.
The royal family expenditure includes daily expenditure, palace repair and mausoleum construction, sacrificial expenses, and clan cost. This number is not easy to check, but it has been 700,000 yuan since Shenzong married the princess. This number will never be small. .
With nearly 60 million yuan in revenue a year, the military spending first cuts more than half, and there are only more than 20 million yuan left. Excluding salaries, farmland water conservancy, and royal expenses, there are really few left in the year of Song Dynasty. Money, before the Song Dynasty repeatedly had a fiscal deficit in which the annual revenue could not be paid for.
On one occasion, even the reward money that the emperor died should be given to the imprisoned army could not be moved out, which made the imperial army almost mutiny. Under such circumstances, it is really not easy to gather a lot of money to promote new seeds and build a fire factory.
Otherwise, Wang Anshi would n’t want to reform, but he could n’t make up the money for a while, but Shen Long had some solutions, "This matter is not difficult, I do n’t know if Jiefu is willing or not. Go do it. "
Isn't Shen Daochang still able to turn a stone into gold? Wang Anshi quickly asked, "Dare to ask the director what is the solution?"
"What is money? Copper money counts money, but silver and gold are not counted?" Shen Long asked, he really had a way to get a large amount of gold and silver.
"Of course it's money." Wang Anshi replied decisively, and then think about the history book Shen Long once gave him. Wang Anshi's mind flashed, and he guessed Shen Long's idea. ? "
"Of course, but it is not in the Song Dynasty, so I asked Jiefu if he would do it." Shen Long laughed, in fact, the Song Dynasty is not a gold or silver mine, such as the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine in Shandong, At this time, the court had already mined gold there. By the time of Yuanfeng, Zhaoyuan had produced 20,000 gold per year, accounting for more than 90% of the country's gold output.
But this is far from the mining limit of Zhaoyuan Gold Mine. The gold mine of Zhaoyuan was mined from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and then from the Ming Dynasty to the modern era. It has not been exhausted; but since there are gold mines in foreign countries, why should we mine our own?
"There are many gold and silver in Japan, among which Sado Jinshan and Ishimi Yinshan have the most reserves, but Japanese people do n’t know it yet. Shijian Yinshan is on the island of Japan, and it is still a bit difficult to manage, but Sado Jinshan is one of the seas outside Japan. On the island, it was the place where Japanese prisoners were exiled, and it was not valued by Japanese. If Song Song could take this island to mine and mine gold, what would a firearm factory in the district count? "Su Song returned from Liao and learned how to do it. It takes time to build a matchlock gun, just used to mine gold mines.
What are you afraid of without money? If you do n’t have money, go grab it, just cheat. You do n’t even dare to grab money and cheat money. Shen Long deliberately took this opportunity to encourage Wang Anshi.
As for whether the influx of large amounts of precious metals into the Song Dynasty will cause inflation, he is not very worried. With the economy of the Song Dynasty, the gold of Sado Jinshan can be completely digested.
"The Japanese have always admired my great song, and have no respect for my great song. If we attacked the Japanese country for only a few gold and silver, it seems ... it seems ..." Wang Anshi still couldn't turn a bit, but couldn't cross the threshold.
"If not, what should Jiefu do? Is it to raise taxes to squeeze the people, or go to food with Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo?" Shen Long sneered.
"The Great Song and the Japanese are far away from each other across the ocean, and I want to lead the army to attack the Japanese sailors. It's just that my great Song hasn't rectified the sailors for many years since the king of Jiyang County led the army to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty. "Wang Shao has less discipline than Wang Anshi. He has already begun to figure out how to attack the Japanese nation."
"The sailor is a trivial matter. I also have the fastest and strongest sea boat style in the world ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Or let's go directly to the treasure ship and go to Galen? I have ship models here, let the craftsmen take apart the ship models Can imitate.
"And this matter does not necessarily want to fight." At that time, the European colonists were not just going to fight. They deceived and bought these methods and played equally well.
"The Japanese have long admired the great Song Fenghua, but the court of the Japanese nation has no direct relationship with our great Song." At this time, there was no formal diplomatic trade, limited to private trade. Song merchants traveled to Hakata and Echizen Tunga for transactions. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the two sides established formal diplomatic relations.
"Therefore, it is possible to send several messengers who admired the Japanese to go to Japan, whether they are rented or purchased, and find a way to take Sado Island and use them to build warships, firearms, and other water while mining gold and silver. After the division grows, it will not work even if you want to repent! "Shen Long said.
"Moreover, if you want to conquer Yanyun's sixteen states in the future, the sailor can also go north from Dengzhou to the land of Youyan, but it is not easier than attacking the city from Hebei and northwest to attack the city all the way?" It is too wasteful to bully the Japanese.
Wang Shao couldn't help but imagine tens of thousands of Huo Bing soldiers, and suddenly killed Youyan into the sea, killing Qidan by an unprepared scene. Wang Jiao seemed to be so moved, but only Wang Anshi remained silent.
