He has a strategic vision.
This is a rare ability, and it can’t be learned based on personal understanding, otherwise it won’t be an important and precious resource for a country.
The old man with profound experience didn’t quite agree with Xu Tongchuan-Shu Branch, but he thought that he was junior and good at military affairs and not good at politics.
However, it turns out that Xu Tong is not only good at military affairs, but also has political ability and strategic vision. Xu Tong has established prestige in the Sichuan-Sichuan branch.
At the same time, Chengdu court also fell into a new crisis.
The number of troops will reach the number expected by Wu Lin, and the government finance of Chengdu is also in a huge crisis.
Wu Lin is not in charge of financial work, and he doesn’t know much about financial work, and he is not very enthusiastic. He notes that the army is strong and the personnel are enriched. He is very happy about this, but he doesn’t understand the great pressure on the Chengdu court by the increase of military personnel
Not everyone is as powerful as Zhuge Liang, who can raise hundreds of troops in Sichuan and Sichuan.
The hasty establishment of Chengdu imperial court finance was worse than the financial cash flow, and soon it was difficult to continue. Chen Yongyan, the director of Chengdu imperial court, reported to Emperor Zhao endlessly.
"When I nationalized all the Shu brocade industries, I could get a steady stream of financial revenue to support the operation of the imperial court and hundreds of troops, but I didn’t expect Shu brocade trade to be cut off by the state and the puppet regime.
If we can’t operate normally only by private sales, the gains can’t be compared with normal operation. The imperial court has been losing money for several months, and the military expenditure of nearly 100 thousand troops is a sum of money, and reconstruction and appeasement after the destruction of seven state capitals around Chengdu are another sum of money.
It is also necessary to calculate that the tax revenue of the imperial court has been exhausted in the first few quarters to prevent the army from attacking and repairing various military projects, and the money obtained by collecting the Lin’ an imperial court and the rebel industry has also exhausted the national treasury. "
Zhao looked at Chen Yongyan’s report, frowning and looking very ugly.
He is a financial official and has ten years’ experience in financial affairs. This problem can never scare him. All Chen Yongyan’s reports are true and not false at all.
"Is it really this far?"
Zhao asked incredulously, "Has the court reached this point only four months after its establishment? Before I came to Chengdu, I had a little understanding of Sichuan and Sichuan finance. How could it suddenly deteriorate at this point? "
"That’s true."
Chen Yongyan nai said, "There is indeed room before Sichuan and Sichuan finance, and he knows all the reasons, but there is still one thing that the officials in Sichuan and Sichuan are local officials with low salaries and high officials."
However, once the number and rank of officials in the founding of the People’s Republic of China were greatly increased, the salaries of senior officials increased several times compared with the previous ones, and they calmed people’s hearts and made a lot of rewards, so … gradually making ends meet. "
Zhao buxi’s face was bitter after a while.
"It’s so good that such a small stall and such a big court are full of redundant officials and soldiers and DaSong ills can’t be solved at the end of the day."
Looking at Zhao’s endless distress, Chen Yongyan hesitated for a moment and decided to speak.
"In the current situation, only agricultural taxes can save the situation."
Zhao never stops smelling and sighing.
"Agricultural tax? The people of Sichuan and Sichuan have a heavy tax burden. Can they continue to increase taxes? I’m afraid it will be a big problem to continue to increase taxes … "
Chen Yongyan whispered, "If the people can’t increase taxes, then the only tax increase target is left in Sichuan and Sichuan. They have a lot of fertile land to pay taxes, but they don’t pay taxes at all. If they can pay taxes, the problem of insufficient country can be solved immediately!"
This is the main purpose of Chen Yongyan’s playing Zhao Uninterrupted this time
Since industry and commerce can no longer make money, they can turn their attention to agricultural taxes.
The agricultural tax of ordinary people has been increased to a high level, and it is afraid that something will happen if it continues to be increased.
The people have become poor, and there is no oil and water to squeeze. Then there is only one group left in the goal of the Chengdu court-the powerful landlords in Sichuan and Sichuan.
With money, land and food, once taxes are collected, it is a panacea that the financial problems of Chengdu court can be solved immediately.
However, after Chen Yongyan advised, he found that Zhao was even more ugly.
Zhao Bubu is not a pro-people official, but he has also worked as a front-line official and has worked as a financial worker for so many years. He knows better than many officials who have been divorced from the masses for a long time how difficult this seemingly simple problem is.
If the problem is really so easy to solve, will Kaifeng court and Lin ‘an court be so difficult?
Now it is the turn of the Chengdu court, and the problem has not improved at all.
It’s definitely a big deal to collect agricultural taxes.
Just like China, agricultural tax is the absolute mobile phone in the current national tax system, accounting for 90% of the country’s huge financial revenue.
However, the situation of land annexation in Sichuan and Sichuan, and the landlords’ arrogance everywhere, made it impossible to collect the agricultural tax.
Chapter 126 Can’t levy a big tax
Song dynasty is a model of digging a hole and burying yourself.
Not to mention the false business prosperity, the strategy of not restraining land merger makes it easy to bully people, and it is not easy for people with land to bully landlords. It is painful to move a little bit with the government policy.
Compared with the previous dynasties, it is more difficult to crack down on land annexation. The Song Dynasty belongs to a unique file. People don’t say whether it can be done or not. The policy is to oppose land annexation. There is a sense of justice and honor.
But the Song Dynasty didn’t even have this.
Chengdu imperial court can easily bully industrial and commercial civilians and yeomen farmers, but it is difficult to bully powerful landlords with great influence in those places.
