Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 443 On the Rewards for Deeds
After half an hour.

Liu Yizhen still came to Taiji Hall to attend the court meeting with a face full of reluctance.

Seeing Liu Yizhen's late arrival, the civil and military officials in the hall did not criticize Liu Yizhen too much.

The "slack in government" that Queen Wang said in bed just now does not exist.

From Liu Yizhen to the top ten emperors, none of them can catch up with Liu Yizhen's half-diligence.At this point, Liu Yizhen has completely won.

"Your Majesty, Holy Grail!"

"I'm safe."

Standing at the forefront are the three senior officials, Wang Xiu, Wang Maide, Gao Yun, Xie Hui, and the almost transparent Fu Liang.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Wang Xiu took out the topics that had been prepared a long time ago, the announcement that should be announced, the decree that should be issued, without any delay.

All the ministers of Liu Song knew that the occasions where important state affairs were really dealt with were not the current Taiji Hall court meeting, but the "small court meeting" in the Liangyi Hall where the emperor, three high-ranking officials, and six ministers were on weekdays.

The matter of being able to get the Tai Chi Hall is basically settled.Instead of letting the officials argue and fight to the death in the court.

Such an administrative method naturally greatly improved administrative efficiency, and at the same time intentionally or unintentionally formed a "political small group" to make the central power more concentrated.

All the officials are also used to this process, so they all lower their eyebrows and listen carefully to the government orders, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

In addition to some normal government affairs, the most important thing for the Liu Song court today is the work of post-war rewards.

The soldiers helped the emperor and the generals win the battle, so naturally they need to be rewarded, otherwise who will give their lives to the court in the next war?Is it possible to talk about "blessings" and "gratitude" with Qiu Ba, who doesn't know many big characters?

Bread is for eating, not for painting.

The collapse of the military system of the later generations of Li and Tang was due to the fact that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were overwhelmed by the equal land system, which made the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were originally amazing in combat power gradually become lazy and no longer as brave as they were in the early Tang Dynasty.

If you want these soldiers to maintain their combat effectiveness and enthusiasm, then they should work hard to distribute land and money.

Fortunately, the imperial court has the land.

Longyou and Hetao are extremely fertile land, these lands give Liu Yi the capital not to write a bad check.

"This matter will be completed by the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households. The land will be divided according to merit as soon as possible, so that the soldiers will be able to share the land before next year's spring plowing."

"In addition, let the Ministry of Households make these soldiers and the previous Fubing households a separate register, and list them as military households."

After the end of this division of land, the number of Fubing will completely exceed that of full-time soldiers.

This is also a major trend that Liu Yizhen hopes to see.

The more people out of production, the heavier the burden on the country.

The cancer of the aristocratic family has not been completely eradicated. If we raise more than [-] standing troops and a cavalry capable of confronting the Northern Wei Dynasty head-on, even if Liu Yi is not crazy, Gao Yun, who is in charge of finance, will also be crazy.So letting these soldiers "one person for two purposes", "farming in peacetime and fighting in wartime" is actually an excessive use of human resources...

But even if it was overused, Liu Yizhen still gave the land to these soldiers in real terms, and didn't take the cake to hang these soldiers who shed blood and sweat for the country, and did some things that were really not worthy of being sons of men.

In addition to distributing the fields, there is also a large amount of money to be distributed.

Hu Xia is a poor ghost, and the money he searched is not enough for Liu Song's military expenditure this time, so how can he have money to reward the soldiers?
So this part of the money is going to come out of Liu Song's own pocket.

Now Liu Song's finances consist of three parts.

One is the land tax and poll tax collected under Zuyong's regulation. This part of the income is shockingly low due to the blood sucking of many aristocratic families. If Liu Yi really lived on this little money, he would have starved to death long ago.

The second is the small amount of money that local governments earn from raw materials by pinching the necks of aristocratic workshops.

Especially under the implementation of Yongchu Baoqian's "Liu Song version of the gold standard" policy, taking money from both raw materials and currency made the mouths of officials at all levels in Liu Song start to bleed, and at the same time it also occupied a lot of money on the books. The share has gradually reached one-half of the land tax income.

The third is business tax.

Liu Song is not Dameng who "does not compete with the people for profit".

In fact, business tax has been ridiculously heavy since ancient times.Those big businessmen who were good were treated as leeks, and those who were not good were simply dug up.

With the expansion of the family's small workshops, a family has long been dissatisfied with occupying the market in one county and one state, and a large number of businessmen have long been unclear. How could the bureaucrats of Liu Song, such a big fat sheep, let go?

Especially since Liu Yizhen moved the capital, the income from commercial taxation has been rising step by step, and has become the "third pillar" of the court's finances, and the income is quite gratifying.

Adding up the income of the remaining [-], the income of the Liu Song court has tripled compared to Liu Yu's, and this growth rate has not slowed down at all, and it is quite dynamic.

The money distributed to these soldiers this time is also divided from these taxes. Even though the officials of Liu Song may have "did nothing" for more than half a year this time, the money still has to be distributed.

After the money is distributed, the people will spend it.

In this way, the official salt, official iron, livestock, and commodities produced by the family workshops can be sold, and domestic demand can be further stimulated, so that the government can receive more small money, and then use these small money to stimulate soldiers to fight and win Then send them a small amount of money to form a virtuous circle until saturation.

At the same time, Liu Yizhen also began to think about whether to come up with something to speed up this cycle, saving the common people from hiding their money...

house?Cough cough, forget it.

Then there is only education.

The expansion of the Liu Song Dynasty in the future and the development of the Chinese civilization in the future will definitely require more high-end talents who understand knowledge and technology.

Those low-level physical work can be done by others.

As for who will do it...

Liu Yizhen pressed his temples, it's still early, there's no rush.

After dividing the soldiers' land and small money, the next step is the highlight.

The rewards between those generals and forces.

Giving small money to soldiers is a century-old plan.

But the rewards for these nobles will change the situation in an instant, so even Liu Yizhen dare not relax his vigilance in this regard.

The "Military Group" that once supported Liu Yizhen to overwhelm the power of the family has grown into a behemoth.Continuing to support them is Liu Yizhen digging a hole for himself.

If he wanted to prevent them from growing into monsters like the "Guanlong Group" in later generations, Liu Yizhen had to restrict them, so that the other party could not continue to grow bigger by taking advantage of the wind of victory.

Just right.

There is a good hub in the military group and family forces...

Liu Yizhen looked down at Xie Hui and smiled slightly, the scene was indescribably warm.

Only Xie Hui felt a chill enveloping him, which let him know that the "family" relationship between himself and the emperor on the battlefield was broken again, and he became an "enemy" in the court again.

"It's unlucky..."

Xie Hui wanted to cry but had no tears.

For some reason, he suddenly began to miss the battlefield outside...
