I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 55 Government Affairs
He Shao himself came from the countryside, and he knew very well about land transactions in later generations. If he wants to buy or sell land, he must have the official seal.

And it is often seen that large tracts of farmland are left unused in the countryside or being plowed by others, so he knows that as long as the economy develops rapidly and the benefits of handicrafts and commerce are far greater than the benefits of land, mergers will naturally stop.

In any era, He Shao's idea is just a fantasy, and only in the Song Dynasty, a business tax society will account for [-]% of the country's tax revenue in the future. Such a thing is possible.

It is not a matter of overnight to suppress mergers, and prohibiting land transactions is even more self-defeating.

This field policy caused a huge shock in the court. Any reform of the existing land system will damage a large number of vested interests, which will cause national turmoil. Dare to touch the field itself to shake the country.

It was already late at night, and Zhao Heng was still walking up and down the hall.

"Dafang, are you sure it was written by He Shao?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Your Majesty, the servant saw it with his own eyes, and it was written by He Shaokou to Li Xiangdai." Liu Chenggui never thought that a piece of Tian policy would make the emperor so restless.

"Why didn't he write it himself"

"This... The slave seems to have heard that He Shao's handwriting is ugly, and secondly, he doesn't even have the right to be a merchant."

After Zhao Heng returned to the Dragon Case, he picked up Tian Ce and looked at it several times, for fear of missing any word, and then laughter filled the whole hall, when Liu E brought soup with him.

"Why is Your Majesty so happy?"

"Look at this Honda policy"

Liu E was the only one in the entire harem who could read the memorial of the ministers, and Liu E was also shocked after reading it.

"It's Li Xiang's handwriting, but this piece of Tian Ce's ingenious thoughts is as fleeting as a glimpse, it's not what Li Xiang or even any veteran minister in the court can think of."

"Then can you guess whose attention it is?" Zhao Heng asked.

"There are two words written between the lines, He Shao!"

"That's right, it's him. It seems that I will give this lord if I don't."

"The contribution of two rice crops alone is enough to change a title, but your majesty might as well delay it for a year or a half.

The concubine heard Kou Xiang and Li Xiang say that He Shao was only diligent in business affairs, and whenever he heard them talking about the court, he would hide away for fear of getting a little bit of it. If it wasn't for Li Xiang's frailty and the cold You can't get this "Tian Ce""

"That's right, let him get it too easily and think that I, Lord Song, are worthless. This kid will start to be lazy after getting the Lord."

Two crops of rice seeds have been distributed, but the amount of cultivation is not so optimistic.

The Han people have planted five grains for thousands of years, and suddenly someone gives you a new crop that says it can be harvested twice a year. Those old farmers who have planted it all their lives will drown you with the saliva of decades of farming experience.

The emperor didn't dare to promote it by force. He planted two crops of rice outside the Guanjia Hall. disaster.

Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges grown in Huaibei, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. He also understands the truth, so Zhao Heng did not force them to be planted everywhere, but only let some official and school fields conduct trial cultivation.

In order to deal with the officials, many people randomly dropped some seeds on the corners of the hard-to-plow land.

Under the official system of the Song Dynasty, any decision made by the emperor had to be reviewed by the Political Affairs Hall before it could be implemented, especially for Li Hang, who was the prime minister, and even if he was lying in bed at home, he would be sent daily brochures.

Originally, He Shao was just worried that Li Hang's body would be dragged down by the endless memorials and official duties, but now Li Hang hid for a while outside the door to bask in the sun, and directly handed over the seal to He Shao.

At the beginning, Liu Chenggui was quite critical of Li Hang's actions, how could the court affairs be so trifling.

Besides, it wouldn't damage the reputation of the court if the world's major events were spread by a merchant, but after reporting to the emperor, Zhao Heng simply hummed and said nothing.

It is unheard of in other dynasties, the emperor is just a huh?

This made Liu Chenggui puzzled, and could only acquiesce in the situation in front of him.

He Shao dazedly stamped his seal on the table. These memorials are divided into two categories. Most of them have been discussed and implemented in the political affairs hall. They just need the prime minister’s seal. As for those that are really unresolved Those who need Li Hang's decision will add red strings, and there are not many such memorials.

And Li Hang was half lying in the yard, holding the tabloid in his hand, watching Da Song Food Weekly basking in the sun leisurely.

"Li Zhong, the tabloid said that Bailou's fish cakes are the best in Kaifeng, you go and bring some back, remember to put it on Fenglang's account"

"Sir, you are a bit of a bully."

"How is it? Is it good to experience the feeling of being a prime minister?" Li Hang asked with a smile.

"It's better to be a businessman. I get up at the time I want to get up every day. As long as I spend money, I can ask others to do everything for me. It's not like doing everything by myself now." He Shao is very dissatisfied with his current life.

Of course, He Shao knew what Li Hang and the emperor wanted to do, but with this experience for a while, he didn't want to enter the court even more. Before crossing, he was a young man who graduated from 211, liked 857, and finally 996. He hated the kind of clock-in work. day.

Let's look at Li Hang is more than 996 now, and his body has been hollowed out by these things before he is 60 years old, so he is as comfortable as a rich man.

Fortunately, for a while, Li Hang, who was not bothered by the paperwork, was getting better and better, and even started to punch a set at the door.

"Your body and bones look good, sir, I still have a lot of things waiting for me to deal with..."

Seeing that he was too active, Li Hang lay down again and coughed again, which made countless alpacas run past in He Shao's heart.

"Sir, Your Majesty here has a decree to seal Shi Bao as General of Zhonglang." He Shao, who was involved in the internal affairs of the court, didn't understand, and he didn't dare to affix his seal indiscriminately.

"Although Shi Bao is deeply favored by His Majesty as a son-in-law, but the court has no suggestions and no merits, so rashly promoting him is not in line with the court system. Eunuch Liu, please help me return this decree to Your Majesty," Li Han said.

It was unimaginable in other dynasties for the prime minister to reject the emperor's will, and it was only possible in the politically enlightened era like the Tang and Song Dynasties.

He Shao always felt that Li Hang's condition was not really getting better, but that the old man didn't want to get better at all. He basked in the sun and read the tabloids every day, his complexion was rosy and bright, but He Shao felt that he was the one who was sick.

In the middle, Princess Shouchang came twice, and Li Hang closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. The two laughed and chewed at the foot of the wall for a while, and they didn't separate quickly until Liu Chenggui coughed a few times.

"Princess Shouchang is not allowed to meet strange men before she leaves the pavilion, that is, His Majesty's favor can only let the eldest princess go out of the palace, but He Langjun, don't make it difficult for the old slave, after all, the royal family has royal rules," Liu Chenggui said.

"Don't worry, I understand"

You can only meet once or twice in a month and a half, and you actually broke the royal etiquette?This made He Shao secretly slander in his heart.

"He Langjun doesn't seem to be willing to deal with government affairs?" Liu Chenggui asked with a smile.

"I'd rather make money than that"

As soon as Qian He Shao was mentioned, he remembered that Liu Chenggui was the envoy of the inner treasury. Every year, the national treasury allocated a sum of money and put it into the inner treasury as the emperor's private treasury.

"Old Liu, believe it or not, give me a few years, and I will make more money than you have in your internal treasury"

Liu Chenggui smiled, "Do you know how much money is in the inner storage?"

"There are only so few taxes every year, how can there be more taxes in the inner storage?"

"I also heard from Li Xiang that you not only have the ability of Yi Ya but also the ability of Tao Zhugong, but how is it possible that you earn more than Nei Zang Ku?"

Seeing that He Shao was about to say something to Liu Chenggui, Li Hang coughed, and He Shao hurriedly shut up and started the endless business of stamping.
