Chapter 11 Why Does China Not Produce Gems?
Although it is not as rich as the emperor, the Song Dynasty's court earned only 70 to 80 million guan a year. These are the expenses of the entire court, including the military pay for the millions of troops, all of which are included.
If it weren't for Cai Jing's leadership now, the court would have been too much money. It is said that when Cai Jing coaxed Zhao Ji and said that Feng Heng and Yu were big, they would have only tens of millions of dollars left in the court. This would be enough to convince Zhao Ji to spend money at will. But I really didn't expect that the small officials like ants below would have greed for more than one million stale money, almost one billion!
According to news from Tokyo, after hearing the case, Zhao Ji roared like thunder on the spot and smashed an old Duan Inkstone.
These were originally all the money in his pockets of Zhao Ji, but now they were unknowingly emptied by the people below. Thinking of this, Zhao Ji was so angry that he even had the heart to eat people.
What is the biggest hatred in the world? Cut off people's wealth. These people are more cruel than cutting off people's wealth. They just pay money from his pocket. Is it easy for him to be an emperor? He also needs to cultivate Gen Yue, pay for Wen Fei's Shenxiao Heavenly Palace. He also needs to support millions of soldiers and tens of thousands of officials. Now there are corruption that is not good at looking at people and not afraid of death, which is one-seventh of the annual tax of the entire Song Dynasty. It is almost more taxed than the entire Liao Kingdom, several times that of the Western Xia...
In the Song Dynasty, all these officials were exiled to Guangxi and Hainan, and those places were ate lychees.
You should know that those places are very different from later generations. During the Northern Song Dynasty, those places were miasma places that were not yet developed and almost rarely inhabited. The population was not as large as wild animals...
Of course, this is the story later! Wen Fei came to suppress the dragon and repair the salt pond. This Jiechi was a money bag from the Song Dynasty. Needless to say, it was just to create these people in charge. If you greed for tens of millions of dollars, you can know how much profit the salt pond is.
Naturally, Wen Fei and Tong Guan are not clean and innocent people. In this case, they must first make a big deal.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, no matter how much money is, it is not very meaningful to Wen Fei. After all, Wen Fei really didn’t have much money to spend in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning, Wen Fei was a little worried about the expenses in his mansion. However, he didn’t know the story of Wen Dashangfu and Yang. He didn’t know how it spread, and it made it known to all women and children in Tokyo…
Even Zhao Ji heard about it, and after a smile, the expenses on Wen Feishang's father's mansion were then compensated by Zhao Ji's inner treasury. The tributes paid in the world were also added, and they were all tributed to him Wen Da Shang's father. It can be said that in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was almost no place to spend money except for building the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace... Even if it was Shenxiao Heavenly Palace, Zhao Ji also paid for it!
Most of the places that need money now are Modern. Wen Fei has not managed his business in Modern Times for a long time. Needless to say, the carriage factory has been so dead. In addition, Wen Fei paid extremely high wages to the workers inside in order to seal the bill. In this way, he became a money-losing item.
Since Huang Sheng hid in the military compound, the logistics company lost its shock and became chaotic. In the past few months, not only did he not contribute a penny to me, but he even started paying for it. Wen Fei had already been determined to replace the manager of the logistics company, but he himself did not have reliable personnel, so he could only accept it with his nose! Thinking about it, he was angry, and he occupied such a large warehouse. His business was so bad that he had to pay for it...
The only good business now is the health restaurant that was opened in partnership with the fat man Zhang Yu. However, the restaurant was too small, and Wen Fei didn't help much from beginning to end, but he was embarrassed to share the accounts with Zhang Yu... and Ren Lechen's side is also a money-losing guy! Now Wen Fei is now, and his income and expenditure have been unbalanced. There is nothing happening now. But after a long time, I'm afraid that it will be short of funds!
Wen Fei has always had hidden worries. But there is no way, he really can't spare the energy to rectify the business of modern time and space. Even if he has the energy and knows nothing about doing business, he doesn't know what to do!
However, this time the house was searched and a large amount of gold and silver were obtained, which greatly alleviated Wen Fei's deficit.
Wen Fei didn't take any of those calligraphy, paintings, copper coins and other things, and gave them to Tong Guan. He just asked a few hundred taels of gold, jewelry, silver and other things.
Speaking of this, Wen Fei's resentment is not ordinary. In ancient China, the output of gold and silver was pitifully low. With the Song Dynasty so rich, gold and silver were not so common. It would be like a dream to get dozens of tons or hundreds of tons and return to modern times to get rich. But when it comes back, it is really enough to get hundreds of tons of gold back, which is enough to impact the futures market...
Jewelry and other things made Wen Fei want to vomit blood, but there was no other reason. In ancient times, there were many things like pearls and corals that were not very valuable in modern times... and China almost has no gem veins, and it seems that the world's five major gems are not produced. There are only some semi-precious stones, such as jade and crystal.
God, are you playing with me? There are time limits on handicrafts and not many gems, so they are still flowing in from abroad. I circle and fork...
Wen Fei was very depressed and could only pick out all the gold, silver utensils, jade, gems, etc. among the piles of treasures that were searching for the house. He directly packed them back to modern times!
Wen Fei has been in the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty for a long time longer than in modern times. Therefore, returning to modern time and space, smelling the familiar bad air made Wen Fei already accustomed to the air of the Northern Song Dynasty with negative ions far exceeding the standard. His nose and lungs were very uncomfortable, and he sneezed several times in a row.
This time he appeared in the Pearl, who made him return to the Northern Song Dynasty from here last time? Although the jade pendant changed, Wen Fei seemed to have no ability to appear where he wanted to appear. That was too amazing!
Thinking of this, Wen Fei suddenly felt aroused his heart. He reached out and drew a circle in the air, then bounced it. The circle lit up and turned into a picture. Wen Fei practiced the round light technique more and more smoothly!
It was indeed clean, without any luck, nor did he have any incense. Wen Fei was not surprised at all about this situation. He knew it as early as when he was protected by those policemen.
