Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 82 Agriculture, Industry and Commerce

Food and clothing, and a peaceful life, such a simple request is very attractive to people in this era.In the past when it was Taiping, the imperial court spent a lot of money on the military, and the life of the soldiers in the army was still difficult.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Shen nodded: "Xiao Sheren is right. I don't know whether the officers and soldiers recognize it or not, and whether they are willing to accept it or not."

Wang Xiaohun smiled and said nothing.Soldiers and soldiers were all placed in new villages, which, to put it harshly, was equivalent to a hostage in the hands of the government.How could they deny it?It's just that in the next year, because there is no output, there will be many doubts.

Don't discuss the matter anymore.

Wang Xiaohun pointed to the picture on the table and said, "In order to increase the salaries of officials and generals, we will have money in our hands. We can't say how much money to pay, as before, but the result is a lot of deductions. Life is going well, and the battlefield is going well. Only the officers and soldiers above can fight with all their hearts. Look here, I have listed the ones that may make money, and I have to invest money. If the management is good, the money and grain will naturally come. "

Yang Shen looked at the picture on the table, which listed many items from the prefecture below.

The first is cross-citation, but there is a cross on it, I don't know what it means.

Seeing Yang Shen's face full of doubts, Wang Xiaohun said, "Cross-citing is a way to make money, and it also has a great impact on society. It's just that the site is too small and it's a new establishment, so it can't be done. If you put a cross on it, you can't do it now, just leave it to you. method in the future."

Since Jiaozi appeared in Yizhou nearly a hundred years ago, Qian Yin was popularized in the Song Dynasty.Sometimes it develops very well, but then it runs out of money, and the business slowly breaks down.For the government, finance is the most important and easiest way to make money.As long as there is strength, it must be done.

Pointing to the paper on the table, Wang Xiaoliu continued: "When it comes to making money, it's nothing more than farming, industry, and business. We have a newly-built village for farming, and we just need to arrange for a special person to manage it. Actually, it's workers. There are many ways to earn money by working, and here I wrote a few that came to my mind."

Yang Shen came over to have a look.See the work below, write clothing, food, housing and transportation.Underneath the garment is weaving, dyeing, and tailoring.Without needing to explain Wang Xiaolie, Yang Shen understood that it was to build a workshop for weaving, dyeing and making clothes.This is not unusual, the Song Dynasty originally had it.Before the Jin army went south, there were large-scale workshops in the Kaifeng mansion, which specialized in making clothes for the royal family.It's just that there are no ordinary state capitals, and I don't know how Wang Xiaohun is going to make money.

Below the food, the first item is the restaurant.Yang Shen could only smile bitterly.It seems that there is no need to find the buyer by himself, Wang Xiaohun can buy his own restaurant here.The second is wine and vinegar workshops, which are also found in every state.The third item is a pastry workshop, which I have never seen before.

Wang Xiaohun said: "People like fruit the most, but there is no special workshop. We will find a few skilled craftsmen and build a special workshop for this, which will definitely make money. In troubled times, only the government can guarantee that there is no shortage of truth. ."

Yang Shen couldn't figure out what cakes he could make or how to make money.Just not distinguishing it from Wang Xiaohun, and then look down.

The next item is the slaughterhouse.There is no need to ask, there must be pigs and sheep raised by the government, which are specially slaughtered and sold to the people to make money.Below is the tofu workshop and the oil extraction workshop.They all know what they are doing.

Then there is live.The first is the inn.The government came forward to build some inns and warehouses for people to stay and collect money.In the Song Dynasty, most of the prefectures had houses and shops, and a large number of houses in the city were owned by the government and charged rent.This one follows this, very common.

But in addition to the inn, there is also a residence.It means that the government will set up a construction team to specialize in building houses, either renting or selling them.This has not been seen before.When the government builds houses, they are all levied and sent corvée, so why is there so much trouble.Wang Xiaohun wanted to form his own team, which seemed to lighten the burden on the people.Yang Shen nodded, which matched Wang Xiaohun's performance.

Below is the row.The first item to write is postage.Postal delivery has existed since ancient times. The Song Dynasty mainly sent official documents and was under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.The second item is the supply and marketing cooperative, but it has never been seen before.

Seeing Yang Shen's questioning, Wang Xiaohun said, "This is specially designed for the convenience of the people. One end is for offerings and the other is for sale. The offering end connects the people of the countryside, workshops, and everything in the world. , North and South Department Stores have everything. The end of the sales link connects the city and the market, and sells the goods. It is convenient for the people and makes some money."

Yang Shen listened with a look of embarrassment on his face.After a while, he said: "Zhizhou, during the Xining years, when the city was established, the people suffered a lot. You set up this supply and marketing cooperative, is it similar to this? Merchants sell goods from south to north, make some money, and support their families, so why bother? Take them away?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohun was stunned for a moment.In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi reformed, as long as the business was profitable, the government did not interfere.Especially for business, it used to be the government.The government increased its income, but it did great harm to the people.Song Dynasty officials were very vigilant about government meddling in business.Although Huizong was a reformist, this could not be changed.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaohun said: "The government should do this. First, the government can earn money, and second, it is convenient for the people. If you deviate a little, you will definitely go into a wrong path. Don't worry, we will do this, and you will not say it. things."

Yang Shen nodded and said nothing.For these, what are the benefits and harms, Yang Shen can't explain.It's just that he manages the military treasury, so it's better to ask clearly.

Look at the next item, it is shopping malls.Needless to say, the store should be run by the government.I haven't done it before, so I don't know what Wang Xiaohun is going to do.Yang Shen thought about it for a while, and he didn't know much about it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

One is a supply and marketing cooperative, and the other is a hypermarket, which is a concept that Wang Xiaohun brought from the world.In the era of underdeveloped business, the role of supply and marketing cooperatives cannot be ignored.Organized by the government, make full use of the human and material resources of the people to realize the nationwide circulation of commodities.It is very useful for a country with a vast territory.Done well, it can greatly promote the development of business.The hypermarkets, on the other hand, concentrate sellers in cities to achieve economies of scale.It saves buyers the time to pick and choose, and also advertises for sellers, which is a win-win situation.

In this day and age, this is an advanced idea, and Wang Xiaolie himself is proud of it.Seeing that Yang Shen didn't respond, I was a little disappointed.

Next, it's all but the line content.The first item is the car.Just how to make a car, how to make money, Wang Xiaohun didn't write, Yang Shen just swept it away.In fact, this place is where Wang Xiaohun will work hard in the future.Automobiles are an important industry in later generations. If roads are built in this era, can horses and carriages be a pillar industry?
The rest, such as mills, iron shops, wood workshops, etc., are common industries in this era.Yang Shen didn't find it strange, nor did he think Wang Xiaohun could make flowers.Just in accordance with the custom of the Song Dynasty, making money must be run by the government, and there is no objection.

After reading everything, Yang Shen said: "Zhizhou, it will cost a lot of money to do this!"

Wang Xiaochai hurriedly asked, "Are we enough in the army?"

Yang Shen thought for a while: "If you recruit some people from the people, plus money, it's barely enough. However, if the money is spent like this, there will be no money in the army. Without money, how can this be done?"

Wang Xiaoliu nodded: "Yeah, how can this be done without money? - Well, we can owe the workers' wages and the money owed to others, and pay them back in a few months. , you can always make money.”

Yang Shen couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How can there be such a thing in the world! If you don't give money for doing things, don't the people hate the government!"

Wang Xiaohun was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a big reaction from Yang Shen.Isn't it normal to owe money to the authorities?You can get money after you finish things, so you need to have a hard relationship with the government.

On second thought, this era is different from later generations.Official money, once owed, I am afraid it will be difficult to get it back, and of course it will not owe it.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiaohun said: "We will owe it first! The government can collect taxes, and the money will not be less, so why not owe it? Don't worry, I will talk about this matter. There will always be people in such a big state. If you are willing to believe, there will be more opportunities in the future.”

Yang Shen shook his head, obviously not convinced.At this time, where did the government get such great credit from the people?Of course, you must owe it.There is violence in the hands of the government, is it because there are still people who dare to never succeed.

Seeing that Yang Shen didn't believe it, Wang Xiaohun didn't say much.Many things have to be done first.
