Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 874
"There was no plague at first, so this kind of development is actually possible, but the throughput of goods at the docks has slowed down, and the reduction of commercial taxes has become inevitable. At this time, we must either increase the commercial tax, collect some epidemic taxes, or rush to buy some less important industries. In the workshop." Tian Cailiang stopped Yan Shangao from speaking, and said the words himself.

He is a master, although he is also making up and eating the emperor's food, but he is not an official after all, and he can speak freely.

Yan Shangao can't do it, this is the rule of officialdom.

This is why the officials of the Song Dynasty always have their masters and staff around them.They need someone to speak from an unofficial perspective.

He Li shook his head and didn't say much. Everyone quietly watched the scene of hundreds of boats vying for water on the sea.

Adding business tax is apportionment. For the Song emperor who sits in the sky and regards the people as the sky, this is digging his foundation.

No matter how lowly the business family is, it is also a Song citizen. The official family who is often worried about the people of the Song Dynasty will increase the epidemic tax, and I am afraid that they will be questioned.

Even He Li is not confident that he will not be held accountable by the officials for increasing the business tax. After all, there is Zong Ze in front of him, who was almost held accountable, and no one dares to touch the Emperor of Song Dynasty when it comes to matters related to people's livelihood. string.

As for rushing to buy, it is even more important not to think about it.

In the Song Dynasty, a series of political issues were brought about by this thing, which is an official casino-like operation. No one knows how this terminal will make a living this year, and how much harvest it will have.

But now that they have bought this port business tax, and they can't even get back the money invested, these giant merchants are absolutely not happy.

This led to the emergence of gang-like associations similar to the five prefectures of Ezhou, especially under the premise of the widespread existence of Dasong Jieyi societies, this kind of gang-like associations are really easy to breed.

It has been more than five years since the abolishment of the buying and selling system. Without continuous capital investment, the situation of gangs in the city and bandits outside the city has finally been eased. At this time, when this opening is opened, Song Dynasty is bound to return to the old road of the past.

This is not unacceptable to the emperor of the Song Dynasty alone, and even the court officials and ministers have to attack collectively.

He Li tapped his fingers on the wall repeatedly, thought for a long time and said: "I will send a letter to Li Xiang first to inquire about the tone, see if there is any money in the court, and then write a letter to see Can you ask for some money? If not, then take a smaller step and take your time."

Tangkou is short of money, and the money-making workshops of the Song Dynasty can print money vigorously, and it can't satisfy the gluttonous appetite of the prosperous Song Dynasty, but at least there is a solution.

But right now Yue Fei is short of food, not military rations, the military rations are completely enough, but how can the military rations of the Song Dynasty be given to Huanglong Mansion?

Yue Fei has already arrived in Huanglong Mansion, but the most serious problem in Huanglong Mansion is actually not plague, but famine.

When Jin Bing withdrew from Huanglong Mansion, he was not prepared to leave a situation that could be dealt with by Da Song. After carrying out the food and grass in the city, the price of white rice in Huanglong Mansion had soared to the price of a bucket of two.You must know that in the territory of the Song Dynasty, one stone of white rice was only two guan.

It’s fine if the people in Huanglong Mansion have money, at least there will be greedy merchants risking their lives to transport them to Huanglong Mansion, but the people who have been oppressed by the Jin people for a long time have no money in their hands.

This has caused a strange phenomenon. There are still some grain stores selling grain, but no one can afford it.

After thinking about it, Yue Fei stopped his plan to ask the Song Dynasty for food. This was not because he had insulted all the officials in the court with a letter before, but because the food in the Song Dynasty was not enough.

The only extra food was that the government allowed three foreigners to enter the palace to show the open attitude of the Song Dynasty. The food and grass purchased from Champa and the Western Regions, this amount of food and grass, about 30 shi, was prepared to give to Yongxing Military route for disaster relief.

This amount of food was an indispensable tool for the officials to completely disintegrate the Yongxing Army. He wanted food now, and according to the official practice in the past, whatever he wanted from Yue Fei, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would give it to him.

What about the people on Yongxing Military Road?
In Yue Fei's heart, the people of Yongxing Jun Road are obviously bigger than the people of Huanglong Mansion.

If the Huanglong Mansion really collapsed, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong would take the Shan Haijun and Hejian Army with them and go back to Linhuang City to watch the show.

Loving the people like children is the quality that officials should possess.

They are the national army, a violent organization, discussing with generals about loving the people like sons, especially when the people are still completely belonging to the Jin people, it is obviously not true for Yue Fei.

It is even more impossible for him to take out his own military rations for relief, which is not in line with the rules, and it is not in line with Yue Fei's usual style of loving soldiers like his son.

"This Wanyan second child is indeed insidious and cunning. This trick really disgusted Laozi Ge." Han Shizhong looked at the food in the account, slammed the table, stood up, and paced back and forth.

"This trick is quite vicious." Yue Fei also nodded, it was very tricky.

It is the holy metaphor of the official family to lose the land and lose the people, and all the people and land are lost.With the current situation of Huanglong Mansion, if you really want to occupy it, you really have to solve the predicament of Huanglong Mansion.

Han Shizhong paced back and forth and didn't think of any good solution, so he sat down on the couch and stared at Yue Fei: "Pengju, tell me, the people of this special mother's Huanglong Mansion belong to me? Isn't he Wanyan's second child? Play, aren't you afraid that you will have a son without eyes?"

Yue Fei looked at the Kanyu map, shook his head and said, "The second child probably put all his eggs in one basket for the Northern Expedition to the tribes in Mobei."

"First gather the food in the city, and then ration it to the people, so that those bandits in Changlin will move, deliver rice noodles to the people's homes, gather together, and then the plague will spread again."

The plague in Huanglong Mansion is bubonic plague, which is what officials call bubonic plague. This kind of plague is relatively easy to deal with, and the way of transmission is fleas and rats. Han Shizhong's method is still effective.

But even if it was a bubonic plague that was not too severe, the Song Dynasty officials and soldiers did not enter Huanglong Mansion, after all, there was a plague in the city.

If it was pneumonic plague, Yue Fei would never dare to approach Huanglong Mansion.That is a disease that everyone who sees it will catch it, and it will die at night.

If the pneumonic plague really breaks out, there is no need to take any measures at all, just seal the city and wait for people to die.

According to the explanation of the plague by the official and imperial hospital Dr. Hu, the pneumonic plague is a secondary plague, which is based on the bubonic plague and the septic-type plague. After the patient infects the lungs, the disease becomes The point where everyone who sees it is infected with a severe infectious disease.

Of course, there is another type of plague that Han Shizhong and Dr. Hu have never seen before, that is, the continuous and uncontrolled development of pneumonic plague will become a terrible disease called [Black Death]!
According to the official description, after the Black Death, the corpse was purple-black. After three days, if the corpse was not burned, it would defraud the corpse and turn into a black-haired iron corpse!

This iron corpse will bite any living thing it sees, and it will also accelerate the spread of the Black Death!In an instant, millions of big cities were killed by iron corpses, and the streets were full of iron corpses, a purgatory on earth, just like that.

Although Miracle Physician Hu raised the question of why the iron corpse could move without eating when the officials described the Black Death, even Miracle Physician Hu wanted to catch one of the black-haired iron corpses. Grinding tofu is a good choice.

Of course, Yue Fei felt that it would be more cost-effective to drag the black-haired iron corpse to Cizhou to dig coal.

But Yue Fei still believed in the golden words of the officials.

Of course, he didn't believe in the theory of fraudulent corpses. He believed that what the officials said was describing the horror of the Black Death.
