Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 7: debt

  Also, due to the limitation of the level of productivity, the winter calendar is a kind of forbidden area for agricultural production, and once the agricultural society is unable to carry out agricultural production, the countryside will inevitably appear to be withered and depressed. However, relatively speaking, in cities and villages, because the slack is suitable for holding large-scale gatherings that cannot be held on weekdays, corresponding political and religious activities will be carried out.

A heavy snow came unexpectedly, and it cleared up in a hurry, and Qin Hui, Hong Ya and others on the north bank of the Yellow River were determined to fight for the future of themselves and their families with an indomitable destiny, almost at the same time, on the south bank of the Yellow River. Within Zhao Song, the city and villages gradually became lively.

Among them, it was the Zhao Song official who fired the first gunpowder cannonball in the winter. In early November, after announcing that all the national debts were repaid last year, the official again sold the so-called'winter special national debts' in Beijing. '.

Regarding this matter, the Dibao made a detailed and detailed explanation...According to the Dibao, this debt is still a serious national debt drawn by the official family, and this time, the buyer's household head, family composition and other detailed household registration The information is entered into the household department and cannot be monopolized. It can only be delivered and replaced with the household department on a family basis.

   As for the use of the national debt, it is also very clear that it will be used for winter relief, garrison and city community New Year activities, Taixue discussion and other daily affairs in winter.

Even, the Di Bao simply and unobtrusively stated the reason for the “special national debt”. One was the impact of the Yaoshan War last year, which cost a lot of money and rewards. For this reason, the Bashu roads advanced a year in advance. Therefore, after the Yaoshan war, Bashu can only be half-deserved within two years; second, it was the Dongting Lake rebellion that caused the financial gap in Jingxiang area; third, after the comprehensive reorganization of the troops, there was more money for the placement of layoffs. An extra cost.

   Therefore, at the end of the year, there was a gap of about two million yuan.

   After discussion by the lords, the official promised, and then leniently, hereby issued a total of three million yuan, a period of six months or one year, counted as a three-cent adult national debt.

Among them, 900,000 yuan is the official's own share, and Zongzheng Zhao Shi??, foreign family Pan family, and foreign family Wu family will purchase and sell on their behalf; the remaining 2.1 million yuan, all in thousand yuan, two thousand yuan in denominations, It is still drawn by the official, and then directly supervised by the Ministry of Households and recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The public sale is carried out in the leftmost door of the Xuande Building. It is limited to 30 days and has a daily share of 70,000.

   Going back to the next step, frankly speaking, the national debt is still a passive helpless move, because there has indeed been a financial gap, and the size of this gap has made the Zhao official and several xianggong a little bit suspicious and worried.

   This is also reflected in some details of the national debt.

   For example, the name of the so-called Winter Special Treasury Bond is a bit confusing... After all, the main reasons behind the financial gap are indeed those, but the ongoing Dongting Lake rebellion is definitely one of them. It's just that you said that the imperial court used the winter daily expenses as military expenses, and then the winter daily expenses disappeared, which is still reasonable.

   However, the following facts proved that the popularity of this treasury bond market far exceeds everyone's imagination.

   The 900,000 ribbons that Zhao Jiu took by himself were swept away by many dignitaries who had been waiting for a long time in the homes of the three powerful dignitaries before they were sent out.

   A more intuitive scene appeared downstairs in Xuande. After the sale started, the 70,000 yuan share on the first day was instantly rounded up by three merchants who came from Quanzhou to deliver seafood.

   For this reason, the Zhao official family had to post a notice, and each household was restricted to purchase five thousand yuan per day.

   So, starting from the second day, there were helpers who lined up for them, but this time they were immediately stopped by the royal squad.

From the third day onwards, a scene similar to on-the-spot transfers began to appear. Many people were willing to pay directly to obtain the position of the people in front of them, with no gains at all, and even some losses, in exchange for actual costs. The government pledged the opportunity to purchase a certain share of national debt.

In this regard, Zhao Jiu, who was already psychologically prepared, hesitated for a while, and immediately let the prince squad stop this kind of thing and use the safest and most basic way to maintain financial order... In other words, he still has to line up to buy. It was a first-come-first-served basis, for which the Imperial Front had to take over the small half of the Imperial Street to maintain it.

But soon, Zhao Guanjia personally slapped himself in the face, because on the fifth day, suddenly a middle-aged man was crying and crying directly on the imperial street... After watching the matter personally, Yang Yizhong stepped forward to find out. This person did not buy it for himself, but was publicly introduced and used his household registration on behalf of hundreds of households in a village converted from a military garrison near Yuetai, Xicheng, to buy it. He only asked for a one-thousand-consistent national debt. After entering Decheng, I couldn't succeed for a few days, and I couldn't go back empty-handed to see Father Yuetai, so I burst into tears in the street.

  The villagers who have been converted from the military village are basically the refugees and retired sergeants in Hebei. It is impossible to ignore such things.

   So the Zhao official family immediately drew his face and changed the rules again, but set up a special queue for this kind of collective households in the second door on the left, with a limit of ten opportunities per day, and each family is allowed to purchase up to two thousand tranches of national debt. Then, the documents are specifically filed and treated as the family property and righteous village invented by Fan Zhongyan in law. That is to say, the personal crime of the nominal holder during the holding of the national debt does not affect the actual ownership and safety of the money.

As soon as this policy came out, the second round of purchases was immediately set off, because many officials and students did not hesitate to make purchases in the name of clan after they woke up... After all, clan property is a special semi-collective system property. As early as after Fan Zhongyan's invention, it was immediately widely praised and recognized, and it has a strong propaganda effect and a further value-preserving effect.

   But that's all.

  In other words, so far, whether Zhao Jiu, or the shrewd officials of the court, have basically realized the problem.

This is not a question of patriotism or patriotism at all. For a small number of high-ranking officials, this matter may also mean their own position in the hearts of Zhao Guan’s family, and the distance between themselves and the official family, but for all the high-ranking officials, including all the nobles. In terms of people, the root of the problem is that there is no safer means of saving than the official handwriting of government bonds.

In the past six years, there have been constant wars. Not to mention Hebei, Henan, Guanxi, Jingdong and other areas that have been directly affected by military disasters, nor to say that the low-level people who have almost lost everything are high-ranking officials who can always avoid military disasters. People, family wealth has also suffered a serious shrinkage.

   Now that Zhao Jiu provides credit guarantees in the name of the emperor, and the Ministry of Households uses world taxes as actual wealth guarantees, it is no wonder that these people are chasing after them.

Of course, there is still some credit for the imperial court and Zhao Guan’s house...Think about it and you’ll know, if it was really the two Emperors of Jingkang who had searched the city’s wealth for the gold people, were sitting behind this Xuande building. , Who can believe it? If it is still the shaky situation in Jingkang, who would dare to buy it?

   The victory of the war, and the imperial court’s unwavering attitude since its exile from the Huai River, including the long-term stability of the Chief Minister, are the basis behind the sudden emergence of this reasonable economic phenomenon.

Based on this consideration, Zhao Ding then proposed to expand the scale and maturity of the national debt, and specifically set up a share of national debt for officials; Zhang Jun proposed to loosen certain local restrictions and expand the scope of sale to localities; the Ministry of Households directly played, Proposals to extend the term of the national debt, reduce the interest on the national debt, etc. seem to be reasonable suggestions...all were rejected by the Zhao officials.

   Because Zhao Jiu feels that the current political and military foundation is still very fragile. It is not the time to engage in financial innovation, and no one knows where the bottom line of this kind of thing is. There is no need to force trial and make it self-defeating.

   Besides, he is too young and has enough time to institutionalize this thing safely.

   Back to the front, after the national debt, the court had money, so some messy things were immediately put on the agenda.

For example, Zhao Guanjia personally made an order to allocate money and food to the province, and then hold large-scale and institutionalized Cuju tournaments and sumo tournaments in Henan... Among them, Beijing Northwest Road and Jingdong Road are based on the government, state, and army. This layer is the basic unit; Kaifeng Prefecture, Huazhou, and the Henan part of Kaide Prefecture are based on counties; the imperial army stationed in Henan is based on the commanding officer’s direct leadership. The four teams that came out represented their own in the late twelfth lunar month, gathered in Tokyo, and played the finals in a round-robin tournament.

   It is obvious that the Zhao official family wants to have fun with the people, and of course they also deliberately reassure Henan, which has suffered the most military disasters.

   But no matter what, the effect is immediate. The entire Henan region immediately became bustling with excitement. The people in the slack time of the farm, helping the old and the young, poured into the city one after another, just to see the victory or defeat.

   At the same time, scholar-officials began to become active.

   After all, Zhao Guan’s family mentioned that they would conduct Taixue discussion again before the sale of the national debt... Not only that, this time, Zhao Guan’s family seemed to have evolved even more, and he actually raised many issues in the Di Bao in advance.

   The strategy of eliminating gold, whether the Zhongdao Jiaozi Issuance and the national debt need to set up a special institution, is as small as the discussion of the coexistence of the three-segment method and the imperial examination, and whether a special Cuju league should be set up...almost everything is inquiries.

In doing so, one is to stir up topics and make the Taixue’s focus on politics to rely on these things; the other is equivalent to some fishing for later generations...So if these issues are pulled out in the Dibao, countless officials naturally understand. Discussing these matters in the letter will also make it convenient for the Zhao official's family to call someone out to respond when the time comes.

   "The official methods are becoming more and more skillful, and Hu's writing styles are becoming more and more ingenious."

As the twelfth lunar month is approaching, the clans are gradually gathering, and a poem meeting is being held in the backyard of the public minister’s mansion, which is becoming more and more enthusiastic. However, it is said that it is a poem meeting, but it is inevitable to talk about the diaspora. At this time, many of the Lu family’s children are quietly Listening to a middle-aged man with a slender face who was more than 40 years old sitting at the top, jokingly opened his mouth. "Throwing out the issue in advance, and after seeing Taixue discussing politics for a few days, it is Zhao Zhang and the two princes and dragons fighting each other..."

As I was talking about the joyous brows, suddenly there was a roaring in the front yard, each yelling, and everyone in the back yard was frowning...At this time, Duke Lu was at ease on the newly built Kang in the mansion, and the Lu family’s children were all there. Who dares to be so presumptuous in the backyard participating in the poetry meeting?

However, Buddhism in Lu’s family school is almost second only to Confucianism. What is emphasized is a casual nature. Many people even take vegetarian precepts. So even if the noise in the front is getting louder and louder, these people in the back just frowned and watched. None of them got up to explore.

Of course, there is no need to explore. After a while, all the Lu family’s children, relatives and friends saw Lu Haowen, who was dressed in home clothes, personally accompanied a handsome young man in cotton uniform along the corridor into the backyard, and this person Behind Lu Haowen there are many burly people wearing cotton robes, some of them are civil servants, boys and others, and there are countless armored samurai behind them with their swords... No need to ask, you know that the leader is Who, and how did the noise come out before?

   So, all the Lu children, relatives and friends dared not to neglect, so they hurriedly got up and stood silently.

Zhao Jiu was not at all polite. He sat directly in the seat of the middle-aged man before, then waved his hand again and again, pointing at Lu Haowen to sit first on the left, Han Shizhong with a jade belt took the first place on the right, followed by Zhang Jun and Zhang Rong. , Qu Duan, Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan, Wang De, and Li Qiong lined up along the line of the Yan’an Junwang, and the Lu family’s children also stood out seven or eight under the sign of the Zhao official’s house, following the order of the prime minister. Sat down.

   As for the remaining people, they honestly stood at the starting position opposite Zhao Guan's house, standing in order.

   "Are you waiting for a poem?" Zhao Jiu looked down at the pen and paper on the case, but laughed for a while.

   "The children are idle in winter, so they have to do these things." Lu Hao asked twisted his beard and smiled right. "Let the officials laugh."

   "It is indeed a laugh." Zhao Jiu nodded and stood up again in awe. "Composing a poem can't save the Song Dynasty, nor can it restore Lianghe!"

   The family and friends of the Lu clan stared at each other, each in awe, and Li Qiong, who first saw this kind of scene, was a little bit awkward. Of course, Lu Haowen had adapted to this official family a long time ago, but he just chuckled and said nothing.

   "How are they all plain congee and pickles?" Zhao Jiu pressed the topic of the poem, looked around, then laughed again.

   "The family believes more in Buddhism, and many people have become a habit of vegetarianism." Lu Haowen smiled more and more bitterly. He had imagined that the Zhao official's house would be criticized again.

   "Believe in Buddha and convert to Buddha, but you still have to eat meat." Zhao Jiu really shook his head. "How can I be considered a good monk if I don’t eat meat? Did I tell Lu Xianggong... the monk I have seen the most in my life is wine and meat. Before Jingkang, it was said that this person had pulled up weeping willows at Daxiangguo Temple. ."

   Lu Haowen shook his head helplessly, and on the right hand side, except for a slightly strange expression on Zhang Rong and two imperial commanders, the others whispered to each other for a while.

   "Officials." After a pause, Han Shizhong couldn't help but face each other. "The world is absolutely incompetent to the monk who pulls down the willows... The official is afraid that the bald thief was deceived, so dare to ask what the origin of this monk is from the Daxiangguo, dare to speak so boldly?"

   "Weizhou people, who served as military officers under the old kind of Yan'an prefecture in the early years, were later transferred to Weizhou Xiaochong..." Zhao Jiu almost blurted out like a few treasures. "Later, because he killed a butcher called Guanxi in the town, he fled to Wutai Mountain and then to the Daxiangguo Temple to manage the vegetable garden."

Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun looked at each other, and after a while, Zhang Jun insisted: "Officials, this person is indeed a liar who can only blindfold his eyes. The minister has been under the authority of the old economics for half his life. If there is an officer to kill him. After passing through the town, the butcher in Guanxi fled to become a monk, how could the minister not know the details?"

   "Yes." Zhao Jiu nodded thoughtfully. "Bachelor Dasu said well. Since ancient times, no poison is not bald, no baldness is not poisonous, poisonous to baldness, baldness to poisonous, poisonous to baldness, and baldness to poisonous... This monk's words are unbelievable at all. , You should also learn from it. As for the Buddhist language, it is enough to say a few words about the Buddha and behave like a Buddha. A good man of my generation must not really be a vegetarian and take the precepts. What does it look like."

   There were five or six generals on the right side, nodding their heads together, and Lu Haowen was helpless... Dasu Shi’s remark was obviously a joke with a Buddhist friend, not easy to care about.

   "Lu Xianggong." Zhao Jiu turned his head and continued to hold onto this bit of nonsense. "Under the Shaoshi Mountain and in front of the Yiyou Gate, didn't you promise me one by one to take a bit of the Buddhist language from your family's Lu family studies, and then stuff in some new ones? How can you still let the children in your family be vegetarian? ?"

   Such an absurd and inexplicable language, Lu Haowen instinctively wanted to refute, but only a momentary thought turned half a circle in his heart, and the Pingzhang military state's important matter was immediately silent.

   And Zhao Jiu never stopped, but he urged on the spot: "The country is fundamentally new to learning. Lu Qing is a public minister, and he should be the ruler of the day! In the future, you must not eat porridge and eat more meat. It is better to eat more meat!"

  Lu Haowen Qingzhi knows that today he was forced to the door by the official, and he couldn't hide it in any way. It was also helpless for a while, so he had to sigh and prepare to have a serious talk with the official.

And when the public minister was forced to the corner, beside him, the middle-aged man who had been sitting in the first position took the initiative to get up, abstain from the seat and salute, as if he was preparing to defend Lu Haowen: "Officials..."

   "Who is this?" Before the other party finished speaking, Zhao Jiu asked curiously.

   "The minister's eldest son Lu Benzhong." Lu Haowen explained quickly.

"How come I have never seen it before?" Zhao Jiu kept asking ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ First, Cai Jing was in power, the six thieves were rampant, and the ministers were not enterprising as Yuanyou party members, and the ministers were naturally implicated. Later, Yuansheng and Yuansheng The official tried his best to show his love, but the minister suddenly fortunately moved in. He was in the position of Zaifu, so he had to avoid one or two...He had been guarding the gate in his hometown in Huainan before, and he was only allowed to come over the past few days. "Lu Haowen gave an introduction.

Zhao Jiu nodded, but suddenly he shot the case, pointing at Lu Benzhong and looking at Lu Haowen. The so-called slanderous words, nonsense: "I see this son Lu Xianggong, his face is like a field, he obviously wants to seal his face. ?!"

   And Lu Benzhong raised his head and was speechless for a while. As for Lu Haowen, his relatives and friends of the Lu clan around him, and even several handsome officers and generals, looking at Lu Benzhong's long face, they didn't know what to say.

However, these people are not as good as the Jiangxi poetry school who pointed out that the celebrity Lu Benzhong himself felt absurd and powerless... You must know,'The face like a field is not my face, Mo Xian Ban Chao Feng Liehou', this is exactly the thousands of his own Lu Benzhong The original sentence of an old piece of poetry work!

   Until now, don’t say that Lu Haowen, even Lu Benzhong, who had been in front of the emperor for the first time, knew that this official had closed the door and forced the debt in the new year!

   The kind that can't be avoided!

  Ps: I have been in the online class of Shanghai Luyuan since the day before yesterday... The schedule is getting tighter... Embarrassing...
