Dahan first prince

Chapter 214 Wanwang Xiao Xiang, focusing on the society!

Listening to Yang Chengyan's congratulatory words full of reverence, Liu Ying only smiled and waved her hands casually.

——The benefits that the government-run food business can bring are naturally within Liu Ying's expectations.

After all, no matter how you say it, the essence of Liu Ying’s promotion of Guan Zhongliang rice, which is run by the Shaofu official, is to end in an official capacity in order to achieve a monopoly in the grain market within Guanzhong!
However, the word 'monopoly', no matter where it appears in any political system and any stage of civilization, the benefits it can bring are bound to be incomparably huge.

At the same time, what is different from the monopoly of capital is that the main purpose of Liu Ying's "official monopoly of the Guanzhong grain market by the Liu Han regime" is not to make huge profits.

First of all, the most significant change brought by the official grain management to the current Han Dynasty, and also the most important change to Liu Ying, is undoubtedly the stabilization of grain prices.

However, in the feudal era, especially under the background of times when all kinds of wastes are waiting to be revived and people feel at ease, the "steady and slow decline" of food prices will play an irreplaceable and important role in the stability of the regime and society.

Secondly, Liu Ying, relying on the grain official camp, has justifiably controlled the strategic material "grain" for the Han Dynasty Central Committee before she inherited the throne.

As for the next few years, it is just incidental to enrich the treasury by "storing grain on behalf of the people" for profit; Liu Ying will still push forward without hesitation.

Of course, on the premise of not violating the original intention, if the central financial situation can be significantly improved as it is now, and the financial situation of the Shaofu can be reversed in the past few years, Liu Ying will be happy to see it.

Or to put it another way: Seeking a certain degree of benefits through the government-operated grain business to improve the financial situation in the Shaofu is also the "road to revival" planned by Liu Ying for the Shaofu in the future.

—— Today's Han Shaofu is too 'thin'...
Don't even talk about the distance, just talk about what was the situation in Qin Shaofu 15 years ago?
When Chen Sheng and Wu Guanggang raised the pole in Daze Township, Xianyang, the capital of Qin Dynasty, closed his eyes and just said: close the door and release the Shaofu!
After receiving the anti-rebellion order issued by the second emperor in a panic, in just a few days, Qin Shaofu Zhang Han used the prisoners who built the first emperor's mausoleum on Lishan Mountain to equip a team of up to 50 (one said 70) soldiers. All armed!

In the following nearly a year, the entire Qin court's fight against the rising rebels from all over the world almost relied entirely on Zhang Han, the prisoner army.

First, he defeated General Zhou Wen under Chen Sheng's command and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and then went east to Hangu, and defeated Tian Zang, Li Gui and other rebel generals in Xingyang;

At the heel of the column outside the pass, Zhang Han followed closely, and it was Gao Guang who "broke Deng Shuo, defeated Wu Xu, cut Cai Ci, and surrendered Song Liu", forcing Chen Sheng to flee to Chengfu.

In the end, the Daqin prisoners led by Zhang Han defeated General Chen She Zhang He in the western suburbs of the city father, and finally made Chen Shenggong fail, and was killed by the coachman Zhuang Jia...

After completely eradicating Chen Sheng, the leader of the rebel army who established himself as the king of Chu, Zhang Han won many battles and even defeated the overlord Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang head-on, causing him to be defeated and killed!

If Zhang Han hadn’t run into Xiang Yu’s subordinates at the foot of Julu City in the end, now, whether it’s the 11th year of the Han Dynasty or the 14th year of Qin II, I’m afraid we have to say two things...

As the last general of the Qin court, Zhang Han has achieved such a great success, and his personal ability is naturally an important factor that cannot be ignored.

But at the same time, Qin Shaofu's strong ability to mobilize personnel and materials is also the key to Zhang Han's journey to the east, where there are no rebels.

Obviously, as the future master of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying also hopes that her Shaofu can have the astonishing mobilization and mobilization ability of Qin Shaofu.

But the actual situation is far from Liu Ying's expectation...
Twenty years ago, what kind of burden did Qin Shaofu carry on his shoulders?
——Build Afang near Xianyang, Lishan Shihuang Mausoleum, build the Great Wall in the north, build a transportation network composed of "Qin Zhidao" in the whole world!
Even the remote and remote Southwestern Yi were laid down with five-foot roads by the unbelieving Qin Shaofu!
Such a huge infrastructure task, the Qin Shaofu at that time, was able to handle it effortlessly!

On the other hand, what about the Han Shaofu today?
——A city of Chang'an, which has been "repaired" in the fifth year of the Han Dynasty to the present, has been destroyed in the 11th year of the Han Dynasty. Chang'an City still does not see even a single brick or tile...

Even the Zhengguo Canal, which already existed and only needs simple cleaning and maintenance, was finally completed only after Liu Ying let go of her old face and used the identity of the prince to prostitute Guanzhong Minzhuang.

From a simple comparison of these few items, it is not difficult to see that the current Han Shaofu is really 'weak' to a heinous degree.

If Qin Shaofu 20 years ago was a burly man with five big and three thick backs, then the current Han Shaofu is just a baby waiting to be fed...
As the only position in the political system of the Sangong and Jiuqing, the Shaofu only needs to guarantee absolute loyalty to the emperor, which is of great significance to Liu Ying, who is about to become the "uncrowned emperor".

It is no exaggeration to say: after becoming the emperor, until the four to five years when he became a crowned adult and got married and took charge of the government, how loud Liu Ying can be in court meetings almost all depends on how much money the Shaofu has!
If at that time, the Shaofu was able to put on the temperament of a wealthy family without any difficulty in the court meeting, and said to the courtiers and officials, "I want money, tell my brother, I will help you beg Your Majesty", then Liu Not to mention being fifteen or six years old, even if ten years old were removed, she would still have authority!

What's more, if the Shaofu can reach the level of Qin Shaofu, which was able to build infrastructure in the whole world without any effort 30 or even [-] years ago, Liu Ying can even learn from the historical Emperor Wu Liu Che, and come here. A "uncrowned emperor Han Tianxian"!
But as far as the current situation of Shaofu is concerned, don't talk about supporting the young emperor Liu Ying in the future and increasing his confidence. Don't hold Liu Ying back and let Liu Ying be once again captured by Cao Shen, Marquis of Pingyang because of the "poor internal financial situation". If you scold the dog bloody head, it is already thankful...
In her previous life, after being completely reduced to a puppet emperor, Liu Ying deduced countless possibilities.

In the end, Liu Ying came to several conclusions: Yingbo rebelled, and the army must be led to the expedition; the old lady's words must be obeyed;

With this kind of awareness and years of planning in previous lives, Liu Ying's actions now came into being as the times require.

First of all, the melting and casting of three baht coins was stopped by Liu Ying in the name of "repairing the Zhengguo Canal", which eased the situation of "getting poorer and poorer" in Shaofu.

Then, it was the matter of the official grain and rice of the Shaofu, which made the inner money get rid of the three baht of waste coins hoarded in his hands, and obtained the granary needed for the official grain management for free.

In this way, no matter how bad the current Shaofu is, it is nothing more than 'no income', not as usual, not only does not make money, but it continues to lose money.

The situation of "no entry" has already been included in Liu Ying's plan. In the future visible to the naked eye, Shaofu will completely enter the normal mode of "making a lot of money".

Among them, the "grain storage on behalf of the people" part of the government-run grain and rice policy can naturally bring tens of millions of shi in grain income to the Shaofu every year.

With these short-term stable and extremely huge strategic resources in hand, Shaofu's right to speak above the court will be significantly enhanced.

But as Liu Ying said before when she introduced the policy of 'storing grain on behalf of the people': the common people will not be poor forever, nor will they always need someone to 'storage grain on behalf of the people'.

Shaofu's profit from the matter of "storing grain on behalf of the people" is only a quick sum of money within three to five years, accumulating start-up funds for the revival.

What can really make the Shaofu stronger and become the confidence of the young emperor Liu Ying in the future is the unshakable poll tax...
Thinking of this, Liu Ying finally recovered from her long thoughts, glanced at Yang Chengyan with a little deep meaning, and immediately bowed to Prime Minister Xiao He with a full face of solemnity.

"Since the father obeyed the order of the heavens to defeat the violent Qin, and established the Han Zuo to make peace with the world, my Han is really a waste of nothing."

"Although the father and emperor are wise and powerful, and allowed the people to recuperate and recuperate with the inaction of Huang Lao, the emptiness of the government and treasury has lasted for nearly ten years, and it is still unresolved."

"Also, the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion still has more than [-] million shi from the agricultural tax of Guanzhong. fail······"

Saying this in a heavy tone, Liu Ying looked at Xiao He with only a hint of calmness in her eyes.

"Xiao Xiangguo's pillar, Zonggu does not say anything, and Xiao Xiang should also know that the Shaofu government's grain and rice business can only benefit at the age of three or five; when the people become rich and get their own private warehouses, the Shaofu 'stores grain on behalf of the people' One thing, it will be abolished."

"Therefore, the first to bear the brunt of the internal money is the oral gift of the world's internal money that enters the Shaofu every year!"

As she spoke in a serious manner, Liu Ying only gritted her teeth a little bit, and her expression became a little dignified.

"However, a few years later, the father's bitter treasury was unable to lose money and food for the war, so he had to melt the half of the Qin Dynasty and cast the three baht of the Han Dynasty."

"Although this move seems to have greatly increased the wealth of the Shaofu, it actually reduced the internal funds of the government, and instead of retreating; the internal funds and food were not enough, and because of this, they became more and more empty."

"When it was nearly two years old, people all over the world knew the harm of three bahts of money, and they no longer used three bahts as money to buy goods, but only paid three bahts as oral gifts, which made the internal money less and less."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying did not forget to turn her head slightly, nodded slightly to Yang Chengyan, then looked back at Xiao He again, and let out a long sigh full of desolation.

"Today, the solitary expedition is imminent, and the autumn harvest is not far away; once the autumn harvest is over, the agricultural tax and oral tax in Guanzhong will be slow."

"However, if there is nothing to do, the Shaofu may be worth tens of millions of dollars in three baht money."

"Xiao quite knows: the money in the Shaofu has been three years old and has not entered the Qin Dynasty's money and half taels, so I think it is a mouthful..."

Hearing Liu Yingman's heavy tone, Yang Chengyan beside him couldn't help showing a guilty expression, and immediately lowered his head.

From Yang Chengyan's point of view, although the current bad situation of the Shaofu is not caused by himself, but as the speaker of the Shaofu, he is naturally responsible for it!
Although Liu Ying didn't have the slightest intention to blame, and even tried her best to improve the situation of Shaofu, Yang Chengyan felt more and more guilty because of this.

Xiao He didn't pay attention to the change in Yang Chengyan's complexion. Hearing Liu Ying's meaningful words, he only nodded slowly with a serious expression, and then shook his head and sighed.

"What the family said hits the nail on the head..."

"The Shaofu melted the half of the Qin Dynasty and cast the three baht of the Han Dynasty. This is an evil policy that digs its own roots and causes endless disasters."

"Unfortunately, in the past few years, the chaos of the princes with different surnames in the Kanto region has continued one after another, and His Majesty is so strong that he can't bear the world to be established by the Han Dynasty, but the people are still trapped..."

"Ah~"

"Your Majesty's melting and casting of the Han three baht is also a helpless move for the army to let go due to the lack of money and food needed for the battle..."

Seeing Xiao He's sorrowful sigh, Liu Ying only nodded with a sullen face.

Waiting quietly for a while, but still did not wait for Xiao He's next words, Liu Ying's complexion became more serious, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

"Hey······"

"Gu Du made it so clear, Xiao He, still pretending to be stupid..."

Secretly uttering a little slander, Liu Ying didn't make any detours, just stared at Xiao He meaningfully for a moment, and then got straight to the point.

"Nowadays, the Shaofu's internal funds have to be run by the government to manage grain and rice, and prepare 'to store grain on behalf of the people' for profit. Although the profit is not long-lasting, it can also temporarily relieve the emptiness of the treasury."

"It's spring again. The Shaofu obtained grain and rice from Mi Jia, a grain merchant in Guanzhong. There are still a lot of grain and rice to feed the people in Guanzhong. There is still a surplus. Today, the Shaofu should not get the treasury allocation, but lose what it needs to fight the rebellion alone. Grain!"

When she said this resolutely, Liu Ying looked at Xiao He with more serious eyes.

"With the official grain and rice, the plight of money in the Shaofu has been eased; as for the princes with different surnames in the Guandong, only one person in Huainan is left, and he will go to the conquest and get rid of it soon."

"Xiao Xiang also said: casting three bahts of money is a helpless strategy because the princes of different surnames in the Kanto region are in chaos, and the treasury is unable to supply the needs of the army."

"Since this is the case, the emptiness of the government treasury has been slowed down, and the princes with different surnames are about to be eliminated. How can the Shaofu continue to cast three bahts of money?"

Asking back with a serious expression, Liu Ying suddenly sat up straight, clenched her hand into a fist, and slammed lightly on the table in front of her.

"Today's Shaofu no longer needs to mint three baht coins, but can get similar benefits."

"Nowadays, people all over the world know the disadvantages of paying three baht in money, and paying three baht in money is counted, but it is only a loss of money that should be paid in the Shaofu."

"Xiao Xiang thinks that if there is no action, when the Shaofu's 'grain storage on behalf of the people' is no longer profitable at the age of three or five, will the treasury be as good as it used to be?"

"After many years, the three bahts entered the Han Dynasty as oral gifts, and the abolition of the three bahts is not in the foreseeable future?"

After saying these words solemnly, Liu Ying paused for a moment, then stood up from her seat, arranged her clothes solemnly, and immediately bowed deeply to Xiao He.

"The pillar of Xiao Xiangguo was even praised by his father: the first marquis of the founding of the Han Dynasty."

"Nowadays, there is money in the Shaofu, and the poor people have paid three baht in money, but they have nothing to pay for it. As a result, Chang'an, the capital of Han Dynasty, has not seen half of the wall!"

"In the past, there were endless wars in the Kanto region, and the court had no choice but to sit back and watch the money and three bahts bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"However, I think of myself as the son of man, and the father's government, there is absolutely no reason to speak falsely."

"Now that Gulin is about to go out for an expedition, and he is still in Shaofu's heart, he will never be at ease."

"Wanwang Xiaoxiang, the country is the most important, and the world is the most important..."
