The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 676 Normal Liquidation (continued)

Li Yunze is very clear about the result of Changping warehouse falling into the hands of civil servants.

When he was still in this world, it might be better. At most, he would catch and chop a batch every year.

But when he leaves this world, he will follow the traditional routine. The civil servants will fool the emperor first, and if he can’t fool him, then fool the prince. of.

As long as the emperor's eyes can't see the place, then all kinds of monsters and ghosts will appear on stage.

As for specific examples, there is no need to give examples. Li Yunze himself has experienced, seen, and heard too many.

It's not just that Changping warehouses can't be handed over to civil officials, and you can't hand over anything to them, otherwise you will definitely play tricks on you.

"Shaofu."

Hearing Li Yunze's call, Shaofu Ling Zhang Ou hurried forward to salute, "The minister is here."

"This matter will be handed over to the prime minister, the Shaofu will handle it, and the censor will supervise it. It must be completed as soon as possible."

Master Fu Yan, Zhang Ou, and Zhang Tang all saluted and responded, "Here."

Ji An who retreated gave Gongsun Hong a wink.

After a little hesitation, Gong Sunhong still said, "Your Majesty, the scale of this matter is huge, and it may cost too much money and affect other affairs."

This is not wrong.

Once the Changping warehouse starts to collect grain, it will be the largest grain merchant in the whole Dahan.

Do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations.

At this time, all the land except Huangzhuang in the whole Han Dynasty, including the sealed fields of the emperor's relatives, and the fields of the kings in various places, totaled about [-] million mu of land.

It looks scary, but in fact the mu in the Han Dynasty is different from the mu in the modern world. The area is much smaller, only about two-thirds.

High-grade fields, middle-grade fields, and low-grade fields are not counted.

Dry fields, terraced fields, and paddy fields are not counted either.

Not counting the different crops planted, paddy husking and so on, all take the intermediate value.

Based on the income of two stones per mu of land, the total annual output is about 16 billion stones.

Excluding the consumption of planting grain and rations, more than [-] million shi of grain can be sold.

Taking an average price of 1000 yuan a stone, this is an earth-shattering [-] billion yuan.

Taking the tax of the big man as an example, where can I find the 1000 billion yuan to buy food?
The annual court income of the big man is 50 billion yuan, which is not enough for a drop in the bucket.

Of course, the actual grain output cannot be so high, because a large part of the land area needs to be planted with other crops, such as mulberry or something.

There is also a rotation system, and large areas of land need to be left fallow or something.

In addition to the confiscation of land by honorable nobles, the confiscation of land by kings, and the grain production of Huangzhuang in various places, what the farmers can really produce is definitely not as much as imagined.

This amount is regarded as the upper limit consideration to the greatest extent, the kind that the farmers take out all the grain.

In actual operation, it is estimated that half of them will not be able to do it.

There was a lot of discussion in Qingliang Hall, how to buy food without money?
Ji An said again, "Why don't you lower the minimum purchase price? Even if you lower it by only ten dollars, you can save hundreds of millions of dollars."

Many people nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense.

"Heh~~~"

Here, Li Yunze couldn't help but smile too.

It's no problem to fool those emperors who grew up in deep palaces with these words, but it's a pity that Li Yunze doesn't work here.

"Who said you have to buy them all at once?"

Li Yunze waved his hand indifferently, "If Chang Pingcang opened up the acquisition, all the wealth in the world would not be enough to invest in it. Of course, we need to make statistics first."

He turned his gaze to Yan Yi, "The household department, do you know how much grain you have collected this year?"

Yan Yi hurriedly came out to salute and responded, "Your Majesty, the autumn harvests in various counties are still going on one after another. At present, only the autumn harvest statistics from various places in Guanzhong have been sent."

Dahan is huge in size and spans multiple dimensions.

The timing of the autumn harvest is naturally different, and the distances in Kanto are far away. According to the communication capabilities of this era, it is of course impossible to send the statistical results so quickly.

Yan Yi followed up and said, "This year's weather is smooth and there are no major natural disasters. According to last year's records, it should be more than last year, at least [-]% more."

Seeing that Yan Yi couldn't come up with specific data, Li Yunze didn't talk nonsense, and simply said, "It will be calculated according to the surplus grain in the hands of the farmers. Starting from next month, Jingzhao Mansion will set up Changping warehouses in various places. Local grain surplus statistics, purchased by month, monthly

Limited quantity. "

The master father Yan nodded, this is a good way, why didn't he think that the emperor would charge himself.

Jing Zhaoyin and Zheng Zhuang were also there. After all, he was considered the number one magistrate in the world, and he was working in Chang'an City, so he was naturally eligible to participate in the court meeting.

He came out and said, "Your Majesty, time is too tight, and it may be difficult to repair enough warehouses."

Seeing that Li Yunze frowned again, the father-in-law jumped out and shouted, "Your Majesty, don't you understand what he said?! You said that the monthly quota purchases will be paid, and then the corvee will be paid. First, build a warehouse to store the grain purchased in January! It's so stupid, can you do it well!

? ”

Anyone with eyesight can see that Zheng Zhuang is not ignorant, but just evasive.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. The Changping warehouse is under the management of the Shaofu, and the local yamen can't get in. On the contrary, they have to contribute to take responsibility, so naturally they have no motivation to work.

Zhang Ou, the commander of the Shaofu here, also immediately said, "The Shaofu should set up a Changping Order to urge all parts of the world to build Changping warehouses. If someone is sabotaging their work, they will shirk."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ou looked at Zhang Tang, the doctor of the censor, "I hope the doctor of the censor will help."

"It's natural."

Zhang Tang chuckled, "This is a matter supervised by the emperor, whoever dares to play tricks on this matter, then use the Chinese law to speak."

There are some ways to evade the arrangement between the father Yan and Zhang Ou in the local area, and to make small moves.

After all, they are all human beings, and if they want to find trouble and get rid of the blame, there are plenty of ways.

But when Zhang Tang spoke, things were different.

This is a cruel official. Once he gets serious about doing things, he won't ask why or what evidence. He only needs a list!
Or the list of the whole family!
So, the cruel official is really useful sometimes.

Seeing that the hawks and dogs finally figured it out and began to show their heads, Li Yunze also nodded in satisfaction.

He added, "When harvesting grain from Changping warehouses in various places, it is necessary to find out who is selling the grain. Only accept grain sales from local farmers, and must not accept grain sales from second-hand traders."

"If someone is greedy for ink, they will collude with each other. Whether it is someone from the local yamen or the Shaofu, or the inspecting censor of Yushitai"

Speaking of this, Li Yunze looked at Zhang Tang, "Can it be handled? Or let Zhidu come?"

Zhang Tang, with a serious expression, saluted respectfully, "Minister, personally supervise the handling!"

"Ah."

When Li Yunze engaged in tax exemption, he converted the income from the feudal lands and food towns of the honorable emperors into specific income, and transferred it to the Shaofu for statistics, and then the Shaofu distributed it.

The nominal food town is still there, but the income has actually been transferred into the hands of the Shaofu.

Most of the food income was converted into goods by Li Yunze, also in order to prevent too much food from falling into the hands of nobles.

This is also to curb the rise of Erdao traffickers
"While harvesting grain, we also have to sell grain."

Li Yunze moved on to the next topic, "The prime minister will set the price of grain. The main purpose is not to make money, but to stabilize the price. Just slightly higher than the purchase price, and the profit earned cannot exceed the cost of construction and maintenance at most."

The master's father Yan is naturally duty-bound, "Here."

Dahan is an agricultural country, so naturally there is no urbanization.

But in fact, the size of the big man is here, even if it is an agricultural country, the population of cities in various places is generally a huge number.

There is no need to think about noble relatives, court officials, etc. Their salaries are paid by the grain harvested by Huangzhuang, which is enough to feed the whole family.

There is no need to worry about the military rations. The food supply of the army is still dominated by the food produced in Huangzhuang.

But the population living in cities and towns in various places is at least millions, and these people still have to rely on buying food for food.

These people are the main customers of regular positions in various places.

Of course, when the crops are not harvested, local farmers may buy grain, after all, there will never be enough food.

Because the population of Dahan has been growing continuously, it is the individual who consumes food.

The matter of closing the position is considered to be settled in this way.

After that, the prime minister supervised, the Shaofu did things, and the censor doctor supervised.

As for the issue of start-up capital, Li Yunze opened the warehouse without hesitation.

The goods saved by Emperor Wen Jing's diligence and thrift can be regarded as useful.

The money that has been saved year by year, and even piled up until the ropes that pass through the money are rotten, began to be transported away in carts.

This money is used to activate the economic operation, which is much better than that used by Emperor Wu to build countless palaces in history.

The income of the imperial court is actually increasing.

Especially after the official operation of Yantie, it has increased significantly, which is also the source of Li Yunze's confidence in exempting land tax.

More importantly, the imperial court held the right to mint coins and moved from Zhongshan to the mint in Shanglinyuan, where they were working hard to mint new coins every day.

Moreover, the Dahan society at this time is still short of money, and has not yet reached the stage of saturation and overspending, leading to rising prices.

However, there is also a problem here, that is, the lack of copper in the Han Dynasty, resulting in a gradual shortage of raw materials for coinage.

Naturally, Li Yunze would not mint iron coins to fool the common people, he must use copper coins.

But the lack of copper ore is an important problem.

Although this life does not intend to borrow too much power from the modern world, it is no problem to obtain mineral distribution data.

When it comes to copper mines, especially copper mines that are easy to mine and refine, they are naturally concentrated in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places.

Just these places.
Li Yunze rubbed his chin, looked at the map of the big man and said to himself, "There is going to be a war again."

Most of the large-scale copper mines that meet the mining and smelting level of this era are concentrated in the land of Mitsukoshi, Dian Kingdom, and Yelang Kingdom.

These places may nominally surrender to the big man, but in fact they still live their own small lives.

There is nothing much to say, and naturally the army is going to drive over.

It just so happened that Wei Qing and the others were coming back soon, so it was time to think about things in the south.
