In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 185
But if the emperor really wants to turn all craftsmen into officials and have the opportunity to become officials, it is estimated that most of the craftsmen will be called to join the company. Why does the emperor want so many craftsmen?
"How much do you charge?" Zhao Fan asked again.

"There is an amount written on the paper. Jiankang Mansion needs at least two thousand craftsmen, and other prefectures and counties need at least one hundred craftsmen in each county. Don't worry about not being able to support them. I will solve the problem of money. You will solve the problem of food this year first." , give it to me next year."

"I obey the order." Zhao Fan thought to himself, as long as he has money.

The emperor also said that all the mines on Jiankang and Jiangnan roads would be taken over by the imperial court, and they would be taken back by force.

The mining company is responsible for the unified organization of the mine, and the wages and benefits are the same as those of the Xinzhou mine.

Jiankang Prefecture has gold mines in Qushan, copper mines and iron mines in Chishan, and copper mines in Jurong. At present, they are all managed by local tycoons, who only pay a small amount of taxes.

But for this step, the emperor requested that there be no rush, and that the Jiangnan capitals should be rectified first, and then they should be dealt with. It is estimated that the army training will be completed in a year.

All four firearms division chiefs.

Fully responsible for the manufacture of gunpowder and artillery, etc., when building a factory in Jiankang, craftsmen are provided by the company, and workers give priority to the families of craftsmen and sergeants as much as possible.

Zhao Fan found out that the emperor was taking care of everything again. These craftsmen and workers were all paid a lot of money, and they were also given food, which was equivalent to letting the court support them.

There are so many people raised here, how can there be so much money and food?

Zhao Fan felt a little nervous.

For the firearms department alone, the emperor asked Jiankang Firearms Department to have at least 10,000 craftsmen and [-] workers, each with an average monthly salary of three guan, and the annual expenditure would be nearly [-]+ guan.

But the emperor said it was fine, it was a small amount of money, and compared with the various expenditures in the Southern Song Dynasty at this time, it was really a small amount of money that couldn't be smaller.

Zhao Fan noticed a detail. The sergeants who are eliminated may enter the tax department and the shipping department of the commerce department. Many family members of sergeants and officers can also work in these places first.

The emperor attached great importance to the army and craftsmen, and almost considered the placement of the families of the army and craftsmen.

On the other hand, family members of civil servants don't care about it at all.

This Zhao Fan is still the top leader in civil affairs.

He finally figured it out, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty needs nearly 300 soldiers and horses, and only the monthly expenses. According to His Majesty's latest average standard of three rounds, the total for the whole year is nearly 400 million, and the rest of the troops are not counted. It is estimated to be [-] million or more.” This is not counting Zha Jia, if all of them are wearing infantry armor, several million guan will be added.

"There are a large number of craftsmen and workers in the Engineering Division, Firearms Division, Commerce Division, Taxation Division, and Ship Division. According to Your Majesty's standards, the total number of craftsmen is at least 2000, and workers and other personnel are at least 5000."

"According to the average standard of three rounds, more than 20 rounds are obtained every year, including food supplies, etc., and the bottom line is 40 rounds."

"The maintenance of Jiankang Navy ships, etc., was close to 30 last year."

The monthly payment of other officials and servants has not been counted. A Jiankang mansion plus an army spends nearly 600 million guan a year, and the entire Jiangnan two roads are not nearly [-] million guan?
Where does His Majesty come from for so much money and food?
The emperor said calmly: "In the past, the officials were corrupt and the supervision from top to bottom was not effective. A lot of money ended up in private pockets."

For example, the maintenance cost of Jiankang navy ships last year reached 30 guan?What is this concept?Zhao and Rui used it in Dinghai County, at least twenty medium and large new ships could be built, and there were many more.

So Zhao Yurui is now very eager to seize the military and political power, and then reform, and let the officials below continue to toss like this, the Southern Song Dynasty will really be over.

"After you arrive, Zhao Fan, the biggest role is to strengthen the administration of officials."

"Before the Song Dynasty, I had an unwritten rule not to kill scholar-bureaucrats, but I didn't."

"I'll give you a clue. When Jiankang's soldiers and horses are integrated, first kill a dozen civil officials to sacrifice the flag. What I hate most is corruption."

The corners of Zhao Fan's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, I heard that before your Majesty became the emperor, you used to give gifts everywhere and flatter you, now that you have changed your position, is that all?
"In short, you work hard, and I will take care of the money and food for you."

The emperor chatted with them for a long time that day, mainly about the restructuring of the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River.

The emperor took Jiankang as a pilot, because Jiankang was on the front line of the capital, close to the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and had many troops garrisoned.

After Jiankang and Jiangnan roads are settled, they can be slowly pushed to the whole country.

Then the emperor summoned Zhao Kui and others separately.

A few days after Zhao Fan entered Beijing, he took Wei Zhong, Li Pingshan, Chen Dong and others to Jiankang, accompanied by 500 soldiers and horses trained by Zhao Yurui.

These 500 people will set up a training team in the local area to train the newly recruited soldiers and horses from the two routes in the south of the Yangtze River in batches.

After they arrived in Jiankang, Wei Zhong immediately took the imperial decree, Li Pingshan and others to the camp of the Ma Junsi.

Wei Zhong has been in the Forbidden Army for decades, and he has been in command for 11 years. He has some qualifications and prestige.

It is a good candidate for the emperor to ask him to temporarily appease Ma Junsi.

Zhou He, the commander of the Majun, was Wei Zhong's subordinate back then, and he had a concubine who was also a member of Xia Zhenxia's family.

But Zhou He didn't dare to move.

The emperor arrived in Jiankang on the second day of the mutiny. He wanted to set up a Jiangnan capital in Jiankang.

After the servant who passed the decree finished speaking, he held the bulletin and posted it everywhere for three or four days.

Zhou He knew at this moment that something serious must happen to the capital, but he had no news and dared not move.

And if he wants to move at this time, no one will follow him. First of all, he has no military amulet, no imperial decree, and no documents from the Privy Council, so he has no right to mobilize troops.

Zhou He could only wait in Jiankang.

When the emperor's decree arrived, all the generals above the commander of the Ma Junsi were summoned and read out in public. Those who were selected into the Jiangnan Capital Division would be promoted in rank and monthly salary, as well as on-the-job.

After the imperial decree was read out, everyone began to discuss the matter of Jiangnan Dusi, who cares about other things.

The new emperor wins over the generals in such a way, of course everyone can see.

As for what happened in the capital, both Shi Miyuan and Xia Zhen expressed their convictions, and Xia Zhen even wrote a letter to Zhou He, asking him to hand over the military power.

After Wei Zhong arrived, Zhou He happily handed over the military power, and then Wei Zhong read some names on the spot, and asked some generals to return to Beijing to report on their duties.

Then he read an imperial decree and promoted a group of new generals on the spot.

Those who are promoted will be directly selected into the Jiangnan Capital Division, and the rest will be selected after the assessment.

Zhao Fan and Wei Zhong arrived in Jiankang, completed the replacement of local officials and generals in less than ten days, and gained local power.

Then began to recruit new troops and established the Jiangnan Capital Division.

The conscription in the Southern Song Dynasty is different from the previous ones. First of all, the characters are not engraved, and all of them are changed to utility.

At the same time, he promised to retire. The sergeant is set to retire at the age of ten years or 35 years old. After retirement, he can freely choose to let his son inherit. Of course, he must pass the assessment to be admitted.

Ordinary sergeants have three monthly coins (slightly lower than the capital emperor's pro-army, but far more than before), of which there are always copper coins, and the rest are Huizi, and the number of officers is basically greatly increased.

Before and after Shi Jiankang recruited nearly 8 soldiers and horses, and the annual salary expenditure was more than 280 million guan. In addition, 8000 people were eliminated from the imperial army, navy army, and local army. More than 20 guan.

Zhao Yurui has made a lot of money selling sugar in the past two years, the biggest one is the modern financial scam in Dinghai last year, which defrauded more than 2000 million yuan at once, and he earned it himself without Qin Zhuo's support. Rui now has 3000 million coins in his hands, enough to last for several years.

He is afraid that the money is not enough now, so he will pay less money to the local soldiers and horses first, and then when there is more money, he can gradually increase the salary, and eventually the standard will be the same as that of the emperor's pro-army.

He booed his head with the emperor's pro-army, but he wanted to win over and stabilize the forbidden army. After the forbidden army was stabilized, they had to reuse local soldiers and horses.

And in the second month after they arrived in Jiankang, a shop named 'Longteng Bank' officially opened.

The bank said that it only accepts deposits of more than 120 guan, the monthly interest is [-] guan, and the annual interest is [-] guan, and the principal can be recovered within five years, and the deposit can be withdrawn at any time.

There is such a good thing?The wealthy landlords and officials and gentry in Jiankang began to try to save money one after another.

At the same time, in the capital, Jiangnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places, various banks began to emerge, attracting investment with high interest rates.

Among them, Jingshi has opened two, and one is called 'Sihai Bank' with lower interest rates. It is said that there is an official background behind it to ensure safety.

But everyone saw that the interest rate was too low, so few people invested money, and gradually followed the crowd to invest in banks with high interest rates.

.....
At the end of May, in just over two months, the Jiangnan capital and navy had been recruited.

There is no way, this is probably the best condition and treatment since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

Only the monthly money is nearly five times more than before.

In the past, many sergeants only paid [-] or even [-] cash a month, but this time they started three times.

One month after the recruitment, even people from the north of the Lianghuai area heard that Xun had come to join the army.

On May 28, Jiangnan Metropolitan University Campus, and everyone above the capital in Jiankang came to a meeting.

Yu Jie came to the scene early, and it was his first time to come to the campus.

In later generations, this was the famous big school field in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. The place is very large, and it is quite good for training soldiers.

Yu Jie has no acquaintances here, and came with Chen Feng.

Before coming here, he was the commander of the Qiang Yong Army.

The Qiangyong Army was originally the Yangzhou Qiangyong Army, most of them were Yangzhou people, with 1000 people, and later moved to Zhenjiang, and under Zhao Kui's hands, there were more than 2000 people.

Yu Jie and Zhao Kui received the imperial decree at the same time, and he was transferred to the Ma Junsi. After arriving, Chen Feng brought the emperor's imperial decree and the appointment of the Privy Council.

Yu Jie was promoted to deputy commander of the Ma Junsi.

At this time, Yu Jie was still young, and he never thought that he would be reused by the emperor after meeting him once.

Chen Feng also conveyed the emperor's words, the emperor knew that Yu Jie was a talented person, and he would definitely leave a mark in history books in the future, you should work hard, and when the opportunity arises, we will meet again sooner or later.

Yu Jie, who received the imperial decree and the emperor's oral order at that time, was very excited and excited, and thanked His Majesty the emperor again and again.

As for the emperor's mutiny, what?I don't know.How can the emperor rebel against himself.

Today's Jiangnan Dusi General Assembly, the entire army gathered at the Dajiao field one after another.

When entering the door, Yu Jie suddenly found a lot of boxes piled up at the door.

Every officer who goes in can get ten guanhuizi.

The emperor sent money again?Yu Jie couldn't stop smiling wryly, but he was a smart man, the emperor had just seized power, and he was afraid of instability, so he tried his best to win over the generals.

I saw that every officer who went in would immediately shout after receiving the money: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Some people solemnly went to pay respects in the direction of Lin'an, and then shouted, thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you for your majesty's voice, one after another, continuous.

Soon it was Yu Jie's turn, and the person who handed out the money said loudly: "This is your majesty's reward. Thank you for your dedication to Da Song over the years. Da Song and His Majesty will never forget you."

I don't know how many times this person said it, his mouth was dry, and every time he said it, someone else would say it, and he said it once when he saw a batch.

Yu Jie immediately took the money solemnly, turned around and bowed in the direction of Lin'an: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

After the generals entered, they were all chatting and laughing, and a small half of them were newly promoted. Of course, everyone was very happy and supported the emperor.

After a while, Wei Zhong and others appeared.

Yu Jie's rank is relatively high now, and he was also called to stand in the front row.
