In the August of the first year of Yuanyou, Guimao (18th).

Zhao Xu stood in front of the palace gate of Jingfu Palace, looking at one vehicle after another, full of copper coins, and putting one truck after another into it.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's heart was full of passion.

"This is the country I have built!"

Every car of copper coins represents a victory.

But there are endless chariots and horses carrying copper coins.

Even if all the mules and horses in Taipu Temple have been mobilized, they cannot send all the copper coins to the sealing warehouse in one day.

This is the fourth day since Kaifeng Prefecture transferred copper coins to the sealed pile warehouse!

Moreover, you have to continue shipping for two days before you can complete it!

There is no way! The amount of this money is an astonishing 145 million guan!

A total of 1.116.5 million yuan, taking the small flat coins of Yuanfeng Tongbao, each weighing 5 grams, the total weight of them is nearly 2,800 tons.

According to Yuanfeng Tongbao, the average copper content is 70% calculated. After these copper coins are melted, nearly 2,000 tons of copper can be obtained.

The Jin Ministry of Justice reported not long ago that the mints of the Song Dynasty's coins were only 2.787,000 minuscule coins in the first eight months.

In other words, these coins have reached nearly half of the amount of money minted by the entire Song Dynasty’s Tianxia County Coin of the County and County Coin Supervision this year.

However, this money was only a disaster relief fund that was donated to the Huainan provinces in more than 170 imperial temples in Bianjing and around them, "voluntarily" according to the teachings of the Buddha and "compassionately" to the provinces in Huainan.

I can only say that the monks are really rich!

Moreover, the rich are a bit too much.

On average, each temple was built by imperially, and nearly 10,000 yuan was donated!

The wealth of the temples in the Song Dynasty shocked the government and the people, and the two palaces.

"No wonder the Three Martial Arts and One Sect likes to destroy Buddha..."

Similar whispers are inevitable in the market.

At the same time, the incense in major temples began to decline in the short term - mainly because many people didn't want to burn incense.

The monk is much richer than them!

Although everyone knew about this in the past.

But when the monks took out so much money in one go, and it was cash - all of them were copper coins.

When I don’t use cloth and spices to fool people, things like things that need to be sold to be cashed out.

This is indeed a sight for the people of Bianjing.

"The hosts of the temples, the heads still understand Buddhism!" Looking at the trucks of copper coins being sent to the sealing warehouse, Zhao Xu rubbed his hands and gave his evaluation.

"Tell the temple department, Kaifeng Prefecture, the heads of the temples, since they have already realized the Buddha's compassion and comprehended the Zen meaning of my Buddha to save all sentient beings, they must be eminent monks."

But he completely forgot that just a few days ago, he was instructing Kaifeng Prefecture, Dali Temple and Temple Department to fight and kill the monks.

Even according to the template of Juezhao Temple, he directly threw several monks into prison as usual. At the same time, he selected several new monks from the people, making these people the new host and new head of the imperial temple.

These newly appointed hosts, the first one, didn't feel bad about their feelings, and they cooperated unconditionally as soon as they came out.

The monks finally bowed their heads and gave in.

Not only did he obediently raise enough money, he obediently followed Zhao Xu's order to move the quarantine out of the temple and came to Bianjing City.

The aftermath affected the temples in Kaifeng Prefecture and even Luoyang.

So, the monks from these places quickly expressed their willingness to cooperate and only asked the court to give full play to their strength.

Of course, Zhao Xu won't kill him, just click there.

It is impossible, the heads of the imperially built temples in the whole world are all committed crimes and do not abide by the precepts.

The servants and the officials bowed: "Which."

To Zhao Xu, he was already promising.

no way!

When the late emperor was still alive, in order to increase his income, Wu Juhou sent him to Jingdong and sent Prince Jing to Fujian, allowing Jian Zhoufu and his son to be in Jiangxi.

The land in these places was almost scrambled and smoked.

It only increases the annual income of millions.

This official family did not bother the people, did not increase taxes, or harmed the scholars and officials.

Then Zhang Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, reported that the number of the seventh year of Yuanfeng this year's entry into the Song Dynasty may be close to that of the seventh year of Yuanfeng.

Even if it cannot be achieved, it can reach at least about 90% of the level in Yuanfeng in the seventh year.

It's shocking!

You should know that last year, in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, when the officials ascended the throne, they deposed the horse protection law of Jingdong Road, and even directly asked Kumamoto to sell all the horses of the country to the horse protection households on Jingdong Road.

At the same time, an edict was issued to stop Jingdong Road's salt and iron policy, investigate Wang Zijing of Fujian and Jian Zhoufu of Jiangxi, to rectify the chaos and restore normal local order.

Then he abolished the market and changed his laws and bought the dike.

At the same time, the Qingmiao Law was reformed and the exemption law was revised.

The imperial court's income was in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, so it lost about five million chunks.

This is already a miracle.

But this year, it is accelerating to catch up with the annual income level of the seventh year of Yuanfeng.

Moreover, this is achieved based on the drought in last year and floods in Hebei and the severe drought in Huainan this year.

The government and the country were stunned.

The relevant parties gave detailed explanations.

First of all, because the official favors the copper obtained by the copper method is reduced or exempted by one cent of the mine tax.

Therefore, the production enthusiasm of the world's copper mine owners has greatly increased, and the copper mine output has increased rapidly.

In the first six months of this year, the production of copper minerals in the world exceeded that of the seventh year of Yuanfeng!

Zhang Heng also told the reasons why the copper ore production increased so much in the court.

First, because of the mining tax reasons, copper miners tried every means to conceal copper production for profit. Now, these hidden outputs have appeared in the legal market in the name of the copper gallbladder method.

Second, the comprehensive promotion and application of the copper gallbladder method has added a new copper smelting method in copper ores in various places.

Third, many once-depleted copper ores can be produced again due to the copper gallbladder method.

Fourth: Because the court encouraged it and the policies were appropriate, copper mine owners were more willing to invest and were more motivated to expand production.

In short, there are a lot of Balabara, and the central idea is four words: the official wise and wise!

The increase in copper ore production also caused the amount of coins minted in the Tianxia Coin Supervision in the first eight months of this year to exceed the level of the seventh year of Yuanfeng.

With this alone, the income from increasing income reached one million trump cards.

In addition, Fujian Road, Liangzhe Road and Jingdong Road are also available.

All commercial taxes this year have increased soar!

Just on JD Road, the commercial taxes expected to increase in revenue are as many as hundreds of thousands of chunks.

The increased commercial tax level of Fujian Road and Liangzhe Road is far higher than that of Jingdong Road.

Especially on Fujian Road, with Cai Que taking office, he began to preside over the construction of Quanzhou Maritime Conservatory.

Under the promotion of this prime minister, the port project of Quanzhou Maritime Control and Prefecture Department was quickly promoted, and various preferential policies were implemented, attracting a large number of overseas merchants.

Before the Maritime Bureau opened, it had already made more than 100,000 trump cards through commercial taxes!

On the other side of Liangzhe Road, Mingzhou Maritime Bureau reported that because of the unobstructed sea routes, and because of the increased enthusiasm of "Hu merchants" to pay taxes.

Therefore, this year, the commercial tax revenue of Mingzhou Maritime Manufacturing Corporation will reach twice that of last year.

However, due to the Song and Liao Jiaozi Trade Treaty, the annual expenditure of 200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 pieces of silk cloth was saved by the annual currency.

He even made hundreds of thousands of jin (redeem fees and commercial taxes) through the Song and Liao Jiaozi trade.

In addition, the southern expedition to Jiaozhi forced Jiaozhi to pay a million stones of rice every year, and bought Jiaozhi rice for a price of millions of stones.

The annual rice tribute of Jiaozhi is one million stones, and the price of rice in Bianjing is only half a day, and the value is more than one.5 million coins.

In short, according to the Ministry of Revenue.

Today's economy in the Song Dynasty is not a small economy, but a big economy!

But Zhang Heng didn't tell the truth.

He only said part of the facts--the annual income has indeed increased.

But, spending also soared!

Not to mention the ones next to Fujian Road, the increased income was directly used for the construction of Quanzhou Port and the construction of the shipyard.
