Chapter 449
Zhao Bing also studied political economy in his previous life. He knew the principle that economic status determines superstructure. To put it bluntly, whoever has meat will follow him. Biqu Ω 『 『 『 �

Although CN Wang De couldn't explain the reason, he also clearly explained the origin and function of the warehouse. After hearing this, he thought about it and found that the Zhao family really had no fuel-efficient lamp. They had never read "Das Kapital" or "The 30th of Economics", but they had seen through politics and economy.
In the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the state finance established the fiscal phenomenon of the three treasurys of the imperial front, the Ministry of Revenue, and the court. On the surface, there was no game of fiscal status between the inner and the Zuozang in the Song Dynasty, and the inner and the Zuozang was actually the internal and external difference between the national treasury. However, looking at the essence through the phenomenon, it will be reflected in the coexistence of the inner and the Zuozang in the Song Dynasty, which is reflected in the division of the central financial power, which is different from the nature of the Zhou emperor's private wealth and the finance of the foreign government.
The internal finances in the Song Dynasty were not a single national finance aspect. They had both the external characteristics of the national finances and the inner identity of the emperor's private wealth. From the practical application of the materials in the inner warehouse, the internal treasures were more like strategic reserves rather than private treasures of the emperor. Although the daily expenses of the royal family were taken from the internal warehouses, this part of the expenditure accounted for a very small proportion. The more important expenditure of the internal warehouse was used for the public affairs of the country. It can be said that the internal warehouses in the Song Dynasty had dual attributes, and it was precisely because of the difference between private and public in the nature of the internal warehouses and the left-leaved finances that the financial nature changed.
Of course, the income of Zuozangku was affected to a certain extent after the establishment of the in-house. First, the remaining profits were smelted to the in-house, and then the quota was input into the in-house. The public financial nature of the in-house was strengthened. The part of the Zuozangku relied on tax revenue must be given priority to the in-house storage. Although local gold, silver, copper coins, cloth, etc. are collected from the capital and are managed by the Sansi, since the in-house storage, the wealth offered in these places was often divided into two parts: Zuozangku revenue and the in-house storage revenue, which will inevitably infringe on the financial power of the in-house storage to a certain extent.
As the three departments that control the national fiscal revenue and expenditure under the system of the three departments, the hidden nature of the internal storage treasury makes it not managed by the three departments. The treasury of the Ministry of Revenue should have borne the comprehensive expenditure of the state, but in fact its financial resources are only enough to pay the salaries of central officials, which often leads to Zuozang being short of money, which causes Zuozang to "put it on the internal storage", which is really hard to describe.
The emperor has a mountain-stacked inner warehouse, and he cannot actually regard this batch of wealth as his own private property. Even the part of the property that is theoretically controlled by the emperor, that is, the daily use of the inner warehouse to the royal family, the emperor actually does not have complete control. This is because the Song Dynasty implemented a system of "external control of the inner court", and all the expenses of the inner court must be approved by the prime minister of the outer court. From this, it can be seen that although the hidden fiscal reserves are not enough to fully control the financial operation of Zuozang and even the accounting department, they affect the manifestation of Zuozang's functions to a certain extent, potentially concealing the political purpose of internal interference in the state's finances and dominating the national finances.
Zhao Bing saw through the mystery and of course he would not let go of the magic weapon left to him by his ancestors. The current situation is that Lin'an is lost. Both Zuozangku and the inner warehouse are cheaper. The reality is that everyone is short of money. According to the unspoken rules, although the inner warehouse income can be completed under Zuozang's service, not to mention that those with excellent quality in Zuozangku's income must be fully subscribed to the inner warehouse. Zuozangku's money and goods that are responsible for dialing into the inner warehouse must also be given priority. This shows the positive status of the two. Therefore, no matter what aspect, 6 Xiufu cannot compete with the emperor for limited income...
"How can the ancestors be able to break the laws of their ancestors? If there is any mistake, it will be difficult for me to explain to all the ministers!" Zhao Bing shook his head and refused the suggestion of 6 Xiufu.
"Your Majesty, you should do extraordinary laws at the time of extraordinary times. All the ministers should understand this principle." Seeing that the little emperor was anxious as if he wanted a rattle, he also knew very well that whoever grasped the financial power would control the lifeline of the country. If the little emperor controlled this only source of wealth, he would be unable to control this "bold and arrogant" little emperor.
"The words of the prime minister seem to make some sense!" Zhao Bing looked at the few people around him and said in contemplative words.
"Well, 6 said it's right. Now it's the time of national crisis, political affairs are difficult, and food and money are raising hardships. Taizu and Taizong set up the inner warehouse at that time because of the time. It did not begin at the beginning of the founding of the country. There were many changes and it was not unchanged. Emperor Xiaozong once allocated the reward warehouse in the inner warehouse to the left warehouse. Your Majesty can also follow the example of the late emperor!" Gong Xingqing immediately took over the conversation and said.
"Your Majesty, it is unfair to build salt fields, recruit salt workers, and manage production, and all the officials should be paid off according to the rules. It is really unfair to keep them in it!" Liu Dingsun also advised.
"You are so worried. Your Majesty has never been stingy with state affairs. On that day, the commander-in-chief's army first established the court and only gave some clearance certificates. However, Your Majesty never owed the government's salary for a day, nor did you let everyone starve. All the expenses were from the inner palace, just like everyone else. The granaries were empty in Houzhou County, Qiongzhou County, and there were not much taxes. Your Majesty renovated the warships, opened up post roads, built military camps, and planned to build palaces. All the expenses were paid by the inner palace, and they never counted!" Chen Renweng heard their intentions that he was worried that His Majesty would embezzle and refused to use them for state affairs, and immediately interjected and accused His Majesty of resentment.
"Do you know that your Majesty's food, clothing and expenses in Qiongzhou are only the same as those in the military, and he never spends an extra penny on himself. He inspects all the troops, places, food and accommodation all from his own salary, and does not occupy a penny of public funds or military expenses. This is obvious to all over Qiongzhou. Please be careful!"
"Don't say too much!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and told Chen Renweng not to speak again, and said, "I know what you love. You are worried that I understand in my heart, but I am also worried that public funds will be corruption or deducted at will, and cannot be used for state affairs, people's livelihood and military funds."
"This... Your Majesty, don't think too much. I will not use public funds for private use. I will definitely investigate corruption and rectify the trend!" 6 Xiufu was a little embarrassed and said seriously.
